Had my best camp ever in my entire life. BIG BIG THANK YOU TO MY AWESOME GROUP MATES AND FRIENDS WHO WENT WITH ME!!<3 사랑해요 ^^ I really enjoyed super duper much and no amount of words can describe how much fun I had. I love you guys heehee^^
14-18 September 2014,
Went for NYAA camp from 14 to 18 September and I had so much things to share but I have no idea where to start because all these memories are so precious and I don’t want to forget them. But there are so so many and I just have to blog them all out as records and I’m so scared I missed out some parts!!
WARNING: Long post ahead. This may be the longest blog post I have ever typed in my entire short 17 years of life
At first before the camp I was super worried that I cannot mix into the group, something like the CLS camp incident, when I do not click well with my groups. I am the type of person that do not open up to people easily and if people do not open up to me I’ll just ignore them. I know this is bad but it is my personality now and it is very difficult to change, especially if the personality is a result of scarring from past.
Yup, so I was saying I was really really fucking afraid I cannot mix into the group because I have to spend 4 fucking days with them and if I do not mix well, I will be super bored and my 4 days will feel like eternity. My CLS camp experience was bad. It felt like forever although it is like only 3 days 2 night. In my NYAA group, many people know each other already but I know no one in the group, and some I know but never ever talk before so it is almost same as not knowing them. Plus, NYAA group have people who are not Year 1 and I scared very hard to communicate. Some more more than half are boys, and you should know it takes me even longer to even talk to a guy.
I am very very lucky my group mates for this camp is totally opposite from my CLS camp group mates. Not saying that my CLS camp group mates are terrible or anything, but me and them just don’t click well and most of the group mates don’t care about my existence no matter how hard I try to join in. Although I am not very close with them still because it just take me a fucking long time to open up to people, at least I know they are not bad people. Just for me to confirm that a person is not bad is very difficult already ><
I experienced many different things during the camp and did many things for the first time in my life! I deserve some applause.
I think I will blog them day by day. This may go into my report after serious editing and censoring of vulgars and bad stuff.
Second Insta post (above) is dedicated to this camp because it contains too much precious memories.
Day 1
Day 1 was very scary for me to be honest, because of CLS camp. I met with JiaQi at hougang MRT around 10.30am to go to Sembawang but we both are too early so we went to Bishan to shop. Went to a few stores to walk around and I saw bracelets that I love, but no money to buy T_T. Jiaqi went to buy some extension thingy for camp that cost $5 plus but I think she ended up not using anyway.
After walking around for a while, we both head to Sembawang MRT to meet up with the group to head to our designated location, which is Sembawang Secondary. We are suppose to find our own way there. When going to Sembawang MRT, we met Pearlyn at Bishan MRT waiting for Kaiting hahahahaxD. It was really awkward at first when I reach because I have no body to talk to so I just keep whatsapping Amelia, my red cross friend. But while we are walking to the bus interchange to take bus to the location, Adonica spoke to me and I am very very grateful. She is very very nice and friendly and didn’t know that she knew Jiaqi when I first met her. On the bus, I sat with Adonica and Janet and had very very small chat because I am not close with them yet. After reaching we could not find our GL (group leaders) and have funny episodes outside the school. One of my group mate appeared from inside of the school and we were shock at how he managed to enter. We are not really suppose to go into the school but find our GL near the school. Because we cannot find them, we went to eat at near by shop. As none of us are familiar with the surrounding, we asked a person where is the nearest coffee shop and we successfully made our way there. I had teh bing which is very nice but sweetness don’t last. At first was too sweet and disgusting, a while later it taste normal and exactly how I like it, but at the end was very bland and I hate it. First time really watching Voice of China and the singers are really powerful. I was rooting for a cute guy to win but the woman trashed him.
Met up with the GL after eating and resting. GL told us our dorm number and I am in the same dorm as Janet and Adonica. We were given a huge and heavy box filled with food to bring to the campsite. Took bus to the campsite and went with Sylvia’s group because we got onto the same bus.
I couldn’t really remember what happened right after we reached campsite but I remembered Group 6 arrived last. Group 6 is the group Kaiting and Pearlyn is in. We were sent to our dorms to keep our baggage and I manage to get the top bunk!! Top bunk ftw because there is privacy and more wind I guess, although it is hot air. Went back down for group bonding game and I got forfeit because I am always as blur as you expect me to be. Staying focus is very difficult for me and I am a very slow person in terms of reaction so in this type of games I always lose. I even sabotaged someone to do forfeit also!! ^^ #proudofmyself
After the bonding games there is a mass game which I have no idea what name it is. Roughly remember something about running around to form groups yelling different things like “Spaceship, spaceship” while making the spaceship action and “I am grut/groot”. For the trial run I did well because I hang around with people from my camp group (I shall call it group 3 from now on because the group is called group 3, no special name). But the actual game I lost at the last round like holy mama whyyyyy. Had to do forfeit which is yelling something to the tree while touching it. After that forfeit I did my bonding game forfeit. The boys had to roll over each other while the girls pass pocky stick using only our mouth. The biscuit taste horrible but the forfeit was still okay. Better than what the boys did. After the forfeit I think it is dinner time, and I didn’t eat much because I do not like cheese. Dinner was to do outdoor cooking and we cooked macaroni with sauce. The sauce is made with cheese, so I didn’t eat because I do not like. Ate popcorn that they cooked though. The popcorn was quite nice. Many complained not enough food. Imagine if I ate also, they’ll all be hungry.
After dinner, they had a game that we have to search for papers. We have like 20 minutes and have to be in pairs or threes if group is odd numbered. We have to tie a paper to our hands together and the paper cannot break. Other group members can break our paper and we will have to go back for a new one before going back to search. I went in threes and Kaiting broke the paper like 2 times! The second time we just continued searching and act as though the paper is still intact. Could not find anything though. I think my group found the least because GL keep giving us extras. Those papers are “brainz” which is some thing like currency. We used it to bid for our dinner the next day. I admire my group bravery to bid for the mystery boxes. We won some luncheon meat (although the best is roasted chicken, but read on for next day dinner because I was glad we did not get the chicken), Cream of Chicken soap, Kaya and Strawberry Jam, Sardine and one more that I could not remember. My group wanted Nutella a lot but did not get because Group 2 (Jia qi’s group) won it as they are super rich and we are super poor.
If I am not wrong this is all for Day 1 and I remembered queueing very long for bath and the water is cold. Janet promised to wake me up for Day 2 at 6am to bath. Played 3ds a while and was super sleepy so I just went to sleep. Was really difficult to sleep on the first day as I am not that tired but I’m hungry and hot and stuffy in the dorm. Ended up hugging the pillow and sleeping on the blanket lol.

Day 2
Woke up at 6am thanks to Janet! If not I will not be able to bathe without queuing. The water is freaking cold but no choice must bath. Went back to the dorm after bathing and there is so much time before breakfast so I played my 3DS for a while.
Breakfast is quite terrible to be honest, it is just bread plus the kaya and jam we bid on Day 1. They gave us Milo in paper cups but after drinking they made us wash the paper cup to reuse. First time see people wash paper cup. After breakfast we play daidi, which is like poker cards. I don’t really know how to play but I learnt very quickly because my group loved the game.
After a while we have to go for high elements, the activity I dread the most. They split us into different groups from our camp group so we will mix with the other group people. I don’t really want to but no choice. End up my group have nobody that I know (apart from group 3 people). While waiting for the belayers to be ready my high element group played poker again hahahaxD but mostly playing is group 3 people.
I swear the high elements is way scarier than it looks. It look quite easy from below and when I see my group people do like no kick I thought it was really easy. Until I start climbing that thing I’m like crap this is hell and my legs start to shake. I thought I will just fall off but I didn’t. There was 5 stations but all of us did 4 only due to time constraint. The first one I did was like one line with seesaw and the seesaw will move. The walking part is still okay but once I step onto the seesaw I scream because it suddenly tilted. Took me all my courage to finish it. When I’m done I couldn’t go down instantly because someone is going down and the person below asked me to jump down. Crazy. I said no and I will wait. I thought after the first I will be like less scared but hell no it just get more and more scarier, except the second one. The second one was easier, it is like a vertical net thingy. Very hard to explain but you can see if you go to the campsite. Third one was crazy. Usually those shaky bridge I already don’t want to cross (those with handles). The third high element i did was a shaky bridge, but more shakier than usual and have no handles. Taking my first step out was crazy enough already. It is freaking scary and I felt like falling every single moment I am on that thing. The last one is the worst of the worse! It is a freaking wire with like funny ropes hanging. Very scary, like only one tiny rope. I have to grab on to the rope like it is my life. I can hear people down there screaming and asking me to hold the damn rope higher. Wahh, and imagine how happy i am when I heard no need to do the fifth one because there is no time and we have to eat lunch!
Lunch was the best meal since the start of camp and I polished off everything except for the veggies. Even bought can drink to accompany my meal! Never feel so happy to eat packed food before. After meal there are free time, and the poker cards all come out again. Actually, all the free time is mostly poker card time, so I don’t have to keep saying.
After lunch was some zombie game. It is super duper tiring, running the same place 3 times. The game is like, 1 group be human and 2 groups be zombie. Zombie have to kill of humans before the reach their bases. There are 3 bases and 1 final mission place, which is to find the watermelon ball. Shortest timing to clear is the winner. The human and zombie will rotate so all the group will be human once. Since I am in group 3 we are the last group to be human.
The first time to play takes very long because everyone very blur on what to do. We just run and run and try to eliminate as many people as possible. But human too OP already, because they got 2 lives and as long as one member reach base, all dead human re spawn with 1 life. It is very tiring after chasing them to their first base. But when they reach they have to walk 1 round on the rocky thing that hurts the feet very much. While waiting for them to finish walking we went to the fitness corner to wait for them and rest also. In the meantime, those muscle guys went to show off their muscle and talk about their gym stuff. Which brings me to this conclusion.
Girls and Boys both want to look good. Girls do so by putting on makeup. Boys do so by gyming, Those who do so are the insecure ones. I don’t mind it at all because there is no wrong with wanting to look good. But when boys tell everyone that they go to gym, how obsess they are with gym and how gym is their life, it is exactly the same as girls telling the whole world they put make up. It is plain stupid and nobody in the correct state of mind will do it. Only retards.
Sorry if the above sounds harsh but that is my honest feeling. When boys say they go gym everyday, isn’t that like the same as girls confessing they put make up everyday. Nobody will do one, unless you are trying to be an attention seeking whore. Unless people ask nobody will say themselves one.
Yah but anyway, we just keep chasing people and it is fucking tiring. I manage to remove some lives off people and it is like victory. All the groups can complete though (i mentioned human too OP already). I remember group 2 yelling “Chicken Rice” when they found the watermelon ball. When it is my group we want to be the fastest group so we say we don’t care the zombie we just run to base whether we die or survive. Because confirm at least one will survive. And that is true. At the second base, which is the ship playground, we have to find weapons and our target is to just find the gun. Yup, and anyway, my group won to summarise. We have the shortest timing. But that is also because we are the last group and everyone is physically drained, just like me.
After the zombie game we went to playground to play. I played with the swing with Racher my red cross friend, and I got very dizzy I couldn’t walk straight. I know it is not really their fault, I get dizzy easily. It is very fun!!
We had a happy dinner buffet which we cooked ourselves again, with the food with won from Day 1. Most of the people cooked rice and we fry luncheon meat and cook sardine too. I cooked soup, which is some chicken soup thing that taste super good! Added mushrooms into the soup too. The luncheon meat taste like heaven! Super nice, like the best I have ever eaten! Super duper love it^^ At that time, my whole group was like saying we are so lucky we never get roasted chicken if not we will never get to try such a nice luncheon meat ever. Was very full for dinner because of the nice nice meal my group manage to cook up. Was my first time cooking soup too and it ended up well and it was finished off totally so I am super happy about it! ^^
After dinner was the night walk and we have to walk to the other end of sembawang park to wait for our turn. While waiting we just sat together and played. We played some games at first but ended up with cards again. Got very sleepy at the end while waiting. The card game time was super fun and I super enjoyed myself. In fact, I think the card time with group 3 is more fun than the night walk. Anyway, night walk is supposed to be in 3s or 4s. When is my turn we just walked accordingly. It is very short, boring and not scary at all compared to CLS camp night walk. After night walk we get to bathe!! YAY! But when we reach back campsite was 12.08am and after waiting for everyone to bath finish it is like 1am already. And we waited for everyone to finish bathing just to tell us what time to wake up tomorrow and what time is breakfast. I mean like wts…
