It's been long ever since I last updated my blog.

Yes,today's post will be regards with the whole of this week,mostly the 1st three days of this week,which is...
HUMANITIES CAMP 2010!!

This camp totally rocks! I enjoyed going to camps as it had always been fun,none of the camps that I've attended have dissapointed me not even Humanities Camp,alright,let's being...

Monday,31st May
1st day of camp

Waking up super early in the morning that day,feeling very tired but excited,hoping to get to school early but I was still latest =.=
There was suppose to be 6 students going but on that day it turns out to be only 4.
My teacher told us before hand that we would be taking a mini bus to the campsite but unexpectedly,we took a cab there.A cab can't possibly take 5 person,thus,me,Meng Lynn and Amelia took a cab while Ian and our teacher took another cab.
Our campsite was MOE Labrador Adventure Centre,it's somewhere near Vivo City.
Our school was one of the latest to reach =.=
Me,Meng Lynn and Amelia was in the same room for sleeping,there were beds provided for us :)



Camp started out with briefing in the hall and took a big group photo after that it's breakfast time!






Then we had teambuilding activities which let us get to know our campmates in 5 minutes time! That's really fast!

We even gave each other nicknames like, Apple,Orange,Milo and many more,my nickname is Grapefruit. I've got no idea why they name me that actually,haha! :D




After a few hours,it's time for lunch.I love their lunch!! It's totally delicious. It's the very first time that I had such delicious food for camp. It's like a buffet actually.



Well,fieldtrips started out that day too.
Setting off...



We headed to Labrador Park for our very first field trip.
It's great though,there are different stations for us to go and we have to write a reflection for each activity.

Walking up the hill...



First activity,
We got to learn how the British army in the past do drills.
I don't really like that station,haha.

Second activity,
We went in to an underground tunnel,the place where the British army stay.



It's really dark inside,we can hardly see anything,it's warm and stuffy too!




Writing our reflections...



Third activity,
Went to the Pillbox,a place where the British army will look out for ships and enemies.



Forth activity,
The Fort,the place where British army do their shooting against enemies.We had to carry a bag,as heavy as 4kg cos that's how heavy a bomb weighs.






Bus back to campsite...



After that,back to campsite for dinner as well as wash-up.
Dinner was toally yummy!

After dinner,it's time for our second field trip,Night at the Museum!!
AWESOME! That's my favourite fieldtrips among the rest.
We went to Singapore National Museum.
We are all separated into small groups and we have to answer all question given to us on a small booklet in order to get the treasure,it's something like amazing race.
We had 1hr 30 mins for us to get as many star stickers as possible.The museum was dark and we had to run arund in darkness,how cool can that be,we don't even have torchlight with us.
Sadly,our group didnt't win but it's a great experience to go to a museum at night after all.

Alright,back to campsite around 9 plus at night,had supper,wash-up and sweet dreams... :)

Tuesday,1st June
Second Day of Camp

That day,I had a nice sleep ans woke up as early as 5:30am to get an early bath.
Had breakfast and the food was AWESOME!



Soon after,we are off for our 3rd fieldtrip,to Vivo City.
We are suppose to interview the public about their views on Vivo City.
Planning...


Before going off for mission...


We are rejected many times and at least we do get some interviews.



Plus,that time was 8am in the morning!! Who would go Vivo City such early in the morning,other than the workers there? LOL!

After completing our first activity,it's time for the 2nd.
Planning...



We had to do sketching on the newly built intergrated resort.
Not interesting at all,we had to go to the skypark at Vivo to do our sketchings there.
I don't like sketchings,neither do I like to draw.
My sketching sucks totally,yeah,I'm bad at it!




Before heading back to our campsite,we went to Food Republic to get some drinks.
My group members, Meng Lynn,Ian,Milo(sorry I a can't remember his name so me and Meng Lynn name him Milo) and me was looking at the prices of the drinks. It's not cheap but very expensive. Milo wanted to get a cup of Strawberry juice but it cost $4. He said that it was too expensive and a kind hearted lady heard it and asked us what we want to drink.
I was totally shocked,she was a stranger to us and she wants to treat us drinks! Well,she spent $10 on the 4 of us. But she told us that we have to pay the kindness forward to others who is in need. I was touched but what she said and I will do it :)

Bus back to campsite,had lunch as it was as delicious as before :)
After that,we started doing our projects for Open House which help at night where VIPs will be coming to see.
My Group,which is Group 8 will be doing on Vivo City,we use Audacity to do it,it's something like podcast.
Me and Meng Lynn are assigned on doing powerpoint slides on our reflections for the day.
After that we do the decorations for our booths.

4hrs past,it's time for dinner and wash-up.
Love the dinner food! :D



After that, OPEN HOUSE!!
Our group was split into 2.
Half will be at the booth first,another half will play the games first.
I'm selected to play the game first,so is Meng Lynn.
The games was interesting.
First game was, Are you better than a Geographer.
Yes,that game was copied for Are you better than a 5th grader.
It's really tense up when we are answering the questions,boys VS girls. Hahah!
Girls WON!! Woohoo,CHEERS! :D
2nd station was the games that people payed in the past.
We don't have enough time to complete al the games,it's time for us to switch with another group,now we'll do the presentation of our booths.
By the time we get to our booth,there was no one of us to do presentaton already. So me and Meng Lynn slack there,eating gummy bears at the same time haha!

After open house,it's......................................................................


CAMPFIRE!!!
Campfire burning down...



Although it's just a short 1 hour campfire but it's a memorable one.
All of us shout out loud and dance.
Super fun! Before the campfire ends,they screened photos of our activities,didn't have my photo other than my group photo,haha.

After campfire was supper.
Had spring roll for supper,although it's big and oily,but its finger licking good! haha
After that,sweet dreams... :D




Wednesday,2nd June,
Last day of camp

Well it's the last day of camp and yes,I did cherish my time well :)
Started of the day with yummy bee hoon for breakfast!! :D
After that,headed to Dairy Farm Nature Park for our forth and fianl fieldtrip.
It's raining,we had to wear raincoat.



Meng Lynn and I was being group with 5 boys.
Well, being the only 2 girls there we were always beging disturbed by the guys,even the teacher =.=
Walked through the Wallace trail,filled with insects,especially mosquitoes,covered with greenary trees above us, floors filed with all the dried leaves and muddy mud as there was rain before we started out trail.







Well,there was a small hut,Meng Lynn,Ian and Me was being told to explore the hut while the rest was told to watch us.

Would you dare to go in?


We went in,the hut was very dark,stuffy and the door was half open,only me and Meng Lynn went in,Ian was outside waiting for us. We saw........... NOTHING. Other than a notice board but the hut was very run down and dirty,it's empty for years... woooo,creepy... haha
Then we told the teacher that we didn't see anything,then he told us to go to the next hut beside it.
The door was already open. Ian went in first,nothing happens...BUT!!!......................
When it's my turn to step in,I saw something really scary. It's a dark room,the door was not open for years and yes,it's super dirty inside,guess what I saw,it's really scary.
When I stepped onto a bamboo pole on the floor... a few BAT flew out. It's a few really big bats as big as,when you open your both hands apart,really big and it makes really screechy sound which makes your hair stand.
Once again,we were tricked,we were tricked by the teacher.
He told us to go in,he doesn't want to go in as he already know that there's bat inside and he told us to go in!! The bats really freaks us out.
The boys who were watching behind us was laughing really loud.
Me and Meng Lynn was pissed off! At least we didn't shout when we saw the bats,in fact,we were too stunned till nothing comes out from our mouth. Too shocked!
After that,went up a really high hill,there was a British house.



It was old,rundown,dirty and ceilings fell down.
Now,the whole group was told to go to the back of the house,we saw nothing other than a big hole and an old kitchen.



after exploring,when we went down the hill,ready to board the bus.

Back to campsite,had lunch,had evaluation,prize givings and home sweet home.

Yeah I do miss my camp mates,they are AWESOME friends,so helpful and friendly.
Love them all! :D



Once again,took cab back to school,Amelia didn't join us,she went off from the camp site.
I was feeling bored when we are back to school again,it tells me that I'm going to have lesson the next day.

My mum,aunt and cousin came to pick me up from school.
After that we head to IMM for dinner.

I went home and sleep immediately after that,was super tired!!

Next day,I went back to school early in the morning for June structured programme.
Totally boring programme,something about poetry.
I didn't even went for the excursion,I was at camp,hw would I be able to know what to write about?!
It's boring totally,was talking to Yu Qiu all the time,slack all the way,haha.
Then after school,went home to change and meet up with my cousin again :D
Went to Orchard Cineleisure to watched Marmaduke.
It's a nice show!! Love that show! :D
Then went shopping,after that home sweet home.

Friday,went to school for structured programme again,last day of programe.
Lessons as per normal that day at least normal lessons was better than poetry writing.
After school,had ELDDS.
Then home sweet home.
