Camps Part 1 - SMUX: LOST

24th July - The 1st day of SMUX camp.

Gathered in school before setting off for our camp. Theme o f the camp, LOST. Scenario is that our aircraft crash landed on a deserted island. Registered our attendance and met my OG for the 1st time. I think we had a good OG? Heh. Played some ice breakers during our wait for everybody to arrive. Forfeits with hilarious results greeted us. We realised that forfeits are the key to surviving the camp. Really. Headed for lunch together and gathered back school for the briefing. Decided to take a 'Before Camp' photo.

My OG. OG 5

With the hidden banner, with our 2 GLs. Sheryl and Louis

The first activity after we set off is the trek component. The entire camp revolves ard the 5 core activities of what SMUX got to offer. Started at somewhere along the railway line. Then bashed into the old abandoned railway line. Some photos that might look familiar. Wonder where I have seen those vegetation before? Haha.

A 'lil walk in the park.

Just look at the mud!

A little pit stop for us.

Can't help to take more photos.

The trek ended at ard 5+? Chilled out by the reservoir while having our dinner and waiting for the next activity to start. Night cycling to Jurong Hill Top. Some admin delay meant that we started cycling later than expected. Leisure cycling pace ensured that everybody was comfortable with it. Amazing night view on the hill. I think those couples there that night was damn sian la! Whole chink gang there making so much noise. I will if I were 1 of them. Heh. Headed down the hill and cycled to West Coast Park where we will spend the night. Had this little treasure hunt for comfort food like ice cream and pizza before we headed to pitch our tents. Thru some kind heartedness, my OG was given ice cream! Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake! Nice. Pitch tent and zzz.

25th July - The 2nd Day of SMUX camp.

Started drizzling in the morning and the rain got into our tent. Because it was rather stuffy so we decided not to use the rain over. The rain wet the floor, cutting short our roller blading session! Damn. Someone from my group had to leave the camp earlier. Such a pity for her.

Candid shot at WCP playground.

Following that, kayaking session at Changi Beach! Lunch was Subway sandwich. Nice.

On the bus to Changi.

Grp 5 shot on Frog Island.

My entire kayak group. Half of the SMUX camp ba?

Dinner was then cooked by us! We were giving food to cook. And we had this food bidding game whereby we were given credits and we are welcomed to bid for the other nice food on the auction. Interesting dinner as the guys cooked while the gals came up with the props and ideas for the mini performance later after dinner. Hilarious performance by all the groups. Due credits to be given to all of them for the effort put in.

Then we had this little walk after that. The walk took us to the board walk along the chalets along the beaches. The entire activity ended at 1+ am then we headed to Changi Village for supper. Introduced the Red Tea Longan dessert to the people. And they say it is nice! Heh, packed 2 serving for our GLs cos they have debrief.

26th July - The 3rd Day of SMUX camp.

We rose to a day of diving the next day! Too bad that another 2 person left us before the scuba diving introduction.

Us in the pool!

In action.

Headed back to Changi Beach after the dive lesson. Was damn $%$# hot la! Everybody was burnt. Don't why nobody applied sun block/tan lotion. Haha. Had a telematch to end the camp. Was damn sad la! Could have actually won the match. But due to some $%$#@&#$$#^ mistake on my part, we lost it. Damn I just hate that feeling. Sorry peeps. Although we said that what matters were the team spirit and cohesiveness of the team during the race that matters, we were actually very competitive once the race started.

We washed up a bit and had our camp closing. Took an 'After camp' photo. I like the shirt. Was quite sad that not the entire OG was present.

Us again. Burnt and red and tired.

We headed next door to CV for a much needed dinner and dessert. Shared cabs home all of us. I have another camp coming up tmr. Econs Orientation camp. Need to pack for it! Need sleep! Going under the sun again. Burnt and chao ta now. Somebody save me!!
