council camp

council camp was a blast! to me, it really went super duper well. love it! i was like the best planned camp that i ever went to.

group
okay. both me and gina were in the same group! whoohoo! okay. our group's name is mars. MARS bar. our group comprised of hiysam, shaun, aaron, amelia, rachel and aileen. i must say that our group is one of the best of the groups. so, overall, the winning group was venus, 2nd was jupiter and 3rd was mars. MARS!! we came up with this really cute cheer. haha. so here it goes:
wouldn't it be nice if the world was made of mars bars
eating mars bars would be a tasty treat
changing planets would soon become a problem
mars bars are so addictive
when you arrive at our pretty planet
you'll be greeted by our sexy martians!
wouldn't it be mars
haha. hilarious. surprisingly, our group was super sporting and fun, unlike all other groups that i have took before. this group was really a typical group, with the few hyper few, the quiet few, the leader and the loner and the follower. i've really noticed quite alot of the people in my group.

icebreakers
haha. this was a silly period. the simon says game was hilarious. we, planning com, guessed that the council is just too smart and clever for simon says. okay. for the ABC game, i could see that neptune really tried hard. they were very united. neptune had tuck hing, a senior, a person was had more experience. anyway, i think that neptune showed the best performance even though they didn't win. they are really good. i feel that the icebreakers didn't really break the ice. it was only till the amazing race whereby every group really opened up to each other.

amazing race
okay. i was a station master... at marina south... with natlee. okay. nat n i waited for the teams to arrive for like 3-4hours! omg. to past the time, we kinda went to two arcades in that area. we just couldn't spent all that time waiting like stupid ducks at the busstop? furthermore, our station was like kinda the last station. nat lee spent like $10 at the arcades, i spent $8. wow. wo de xin hao tong. i can't bear to spend so much money at arcades. i can resist temptation unlike nathanael lee. haha. anyway, after all that long waiting, only three groups arrived. silence. at out station, the groups were to keep their kites up in the air for 5mins. then they had to go back to school as the time was up and it was getting late.

farewell
the farewell was a great job done. when i entered the pa room. it was like a totally extreme makeover done to it. it was extremely pretty. pretty enough for a pyjama party. yes. our theme for the farewell was starry and everyone had to wear pyjamas! haha. it was funny seeing everybody's pyjamas. the farewell pretty revolved only for those who knew the seniors and therefore, the new probation councillors were like sitting ducks, all bored and BORED. farewell ended early. did tons of cleaning up. ahh. and the farewell video was so silly. i feel embarrassed sia.

yiling
yiling kinda suffered from some kind of stomach pain during the night so all of us took turn to take care of her. and, it seems like i was the only one who had to apply and rub the medicated oil on her. so funny. joyeo, fion, constance n yiling slept in the red cross room. all of us, especially joyyeo, took care of yiling.

night duty
i did sentry duty with jingming. it was quite awkward. 45mins of mostly silence. i guess that we had nothing to really talk about. we just walked about. we were like shivering in cold and walking about. can you believe that i had to wake him up for sentry duty? i actually bothered to set my alarm. it was really funny to wake him up. i like kinda felt like his mother waking my son up. ahha.

breakfast
okay. my group, for treasure hunt, won cereal and had it as their breakfast. a box of cereal for 8 people was definitely not enough. so i had tau huay. it was GOOD. from clementi. beside me was caleb chng, and he was like explaining to me the qualities of a good and bad tau huay. it was hilarious.

movie time
the movie screened was helen the baby fox. it was a japanese show and it was so emotionally touching. i only teared. didn't really cry much and there was so much anti-climaxes during the movie, for example, shaun elijah tan snoring during the movie, and markho making bored comments and burps during the movie. people, watch the movie helen the baby fox on youtube.

lunch
lunch was meant for department bonding. i believe we pretty much bonded and i got to know my buddy suanfong, more. then there was jingming's buddy, nicholas. he's a japanese and he had a really cool surname. nicholas yashurai lwai. i think that's it. he was like a loner. a wanderer. i tried to talk to him. it seems that jingming n nicholas didn't have much conversation at all.

debrief
debrief was great. we then knew the results of the council's new restructuring. there's joysim at the top, followed by joyyeo n caleb chng as the vice chairs. below joyyeo is rophi and yanling, head of the class mentors department. and also nat as the head of the service department. and wilson as the puntuality head. under caleb chng is yiling as the head for the social department, gina and me as heads of the project department and jingming under the connect department. both me n gina are pretty excited to see who would be in our group.

i love council!! i really do. <3 (:
