REVIEW ON THE COUNCILLORS' CAMP (200606-210606)

TODAY

very tiring, as always esp rite after returning from camp yesterday nite.woke up at 10 coz have to go back to school for dnt. reach school at ard 1.45. finally started with my artefact. haha. den bal bla bla... reach home at 5. its damn tiring having muscle cramps on my arms.

TUESDAY

reach school at abt 8.10. supposed to be there by 8.30. a few councillors were there including mus, faisal, denise, fathullah, jasmine, jerrold, etc. waited for sharilyn's n sujita's arrival. waited n waited n waited till 9.20 then sharilyn reach. sujita will be arriving later.we then head to temasek room. did nothing until diyanah arrived with our lunch, SPAGGHETTI!(dunno how to spell) at ard 11. i dun really eat that so diyanah helped me finish it. haha. so back to the temasek room. we were divided into 3 groups. i was in the 1st group: me, sharilyn, denise, yan jie, kumar, farizal n fathullah. we were given a clue to where to begin our rat race n $10 for the race. its 12.30 n off we go!

our first stop is, out of all places, geylang serai market. took 154. upon reaching there, we were given three tasks. task 1; buy 'serai' aka lemon grass. ok that was easy. task two; visit the malay village n do a simple malay dance. hmm... sounds easy but kinda weird esp when people were looking at you n watching us dance. haha. task three; to find out how old is the geylang serai market n when was is built. have to be thick skin. so i asked a stall owner from geylang serai foodcourt n found out that the market was ard 40 years old n was built in the 1960s. yay!! destination1 completed!

next stop, suntec city. from the market, we walked all the way to eunos mrt n stopped at city hall. walk n walk n walk till we reach suntec city. met the third group along the way. so, the first task, find the fountain of wealth n take a group photo. find out why it is called the fountain of wealth. ok, manageable. got the answer from one of the boards near the fountain. task two; go to carrefoure, take a picture of a (cant remember the name)coffee, bawang besar, bawang merah n bawang putih, LAYS original, sugar free peel fresh drink, logo of the health pyramid, n buy a huge box of cereals(honeystars)-for breakfast. i have to go with farizal n take photos of the 3 types of bawangs(big thank you to sharilyn for the bawang idea). it went pretty well until sharilyn, denise n fathullah came to us and say that one of the staffs kept on eyeing on them for taking some shots. that was one hack of a problem! but we manage it! phew!! ok. task three; borrow a make-up from a passer-by n one of the guys will have to put it on till the end of the race. haha. the lucky guy was farizal!! hahaha... damn difficult to get a passer-by to lend us their make-up. so we went to this make-up shoppe n borrowed some of the testers. we just put light powder, eyeliner n eye shadow on him. haha. that was hilarious! immediately became a PONDAN. hahahaha. so, destination2 completed!

last stop, fort cannning park. took mrt n alighted at douby ghout. by then, most of our members r getting tired. but still, determined! haha. task one; find a place like a cemetry n take a picture of it. task two; find the place ROM was conducted n take a picture of it. also, take a picture of 5 couples. we cant manage to do the 2nd part of task two bcz it was difficult. task three, pluck some spices from the spice garden. since plucking them is against the rule, we just took ome shots. destination3 incompleted. everyone was getting tired n we head back to school.

it was 4 n we were the last team to arrive but we dont mind coz we had fun! the sec 2s n 3s went to the hall to prepare a perfomance for us sec 4s while we hang ard in the temasek room. but then me n sharilyn have to go concourse to buy decoration for the party. we bought some streamers, letters which formed FAREWELL PARTY n 11 balloons for the sec 4s. on the way back, people kept on staring at me coz i was carrying the balloons! that was so embarrassing!! haha.

time for celebration! all of us went to bathe n change to our formal outfits.i wore a long skirt, a pink top n a coat. the performance was great!! haha. we had canadian pizza for our dinner. that was pathetic! but it was the thought that counts rt? at around 10, me, diyanah, marn chern, farizal n noorudin sneaked out from the temasek room. why? haha. we went to teens planet to watch world cup!! haha. but were called back after around 20 mins of wacthing GERMANY vs COSTA RICA. if u were wondering, marn chern went out to buy antaena! haha. had a sing-a-long session. very fun thou. n soon, my feet became sore.

mentioned too much here. i'll be writing abt wednesday(including the wee hours of wednesday morning) soon. too many to mention! haha.
