Warrawee CAMP 2 - day 1
phew, the one great thing about camp is that, friends are becoming closer, and teachers are suddenly not like teachers anymore. I guess it’s called "拉近彼此的距離". Camp makes people get closer to each other, this is one thing I like about it.
Anyhow, talking about what happened in camp, the first day we got off the bus, then when we saw our cabin, (there were many group in each of their own little cabins, some of them r small and some of them r quite large, and ours happened to be one of the large ones) we were like, OMG!!! this is creepy~ cuz the colour of the light were like a dim and blue/whiteish colour. but then we soon moce on to another topic.... after putting down our luggages, we rushed back to the assemble hall, for morning tea, and I was thinking and reading my camp booklet at the same time, "so we eat, then go to an activ. then come back to the hall, eat again, then go to the next activ., and so on?? and that means, what ever we do, we’ll eat it back straight away??? haha, this is stupid.
anyhow, after our morning tea(apple, orange and cookies), we went to our first activ, which was the golf/walk thing, we choose the golf, it was dead boring though, but i guess it was ok, because it was a hot day, so didn’t want to move too much. ohoh, btw, I was the group captain, there were 17 people in our group(Sophie A, Jaclyn B, Kate C, Pippie N, AnnaMaria D, Melanie F, Hee Ju K, Sarra H, Emily H, Jenny K, Megan B, Sophia K, Katrina M, Danielle Q, Grace B and myself) Mr. Bird was with us in this activ. I think he was really bored as well, cuz you can totally see it on his face, "this is boring and boring." finally, we finished this activ., we went back for morning tea then went to the 2nd activ. which was the giant swing, it was surprisingly fun and cool, but because it requires team work, therefore, at the end, everyone was tired of pulling the rope to lift people us, it was a bit of a disastrous period, cuz no one wanted to help...
meh then we went back and had lunch!!! yay~~~ hamburgers!! it tasted pretty nice, cuz we thought the "camp food" wont be good at all. our we went to the last activ. for the 1 day - raft building, I was changed to a black ties and a singlet. I think I looked pretty sporty then, :P, after we arrive a little lake, we split into two little groups, then started to built a raft. there were poles and empty plastic boxes, there were 4 ppl went into the water in our team, which were me, Am, JB and HeeJ. we had to row across the lake and row back on the raft that we built. and we sort of sank a bit, but in the end we didnt end out drowning ourselves, so I guess it was ok. (my whole bodywas wet except my hair) we had a lot of fun in this activ. especially when it was a hot day, and it’s just so good to jump into a cool lake.
after the raft building, we went back to our cabin and get shower at 4:45. we didn’t have dinner till 6:15. Fortunately the dinner was great, (or was it just because I was freaking hungry??) me, kate H, Justine H, Stephanie C, Eliz E, Am D, Clara Y and Sophia K were sitting together(basically this was how we sit pretty much every meal) we had fun, we talked about what happend during the day, and we were just so happy. and I should really say that I DO think the chicken schnitzel was surprisingly delicious. then we had our ice cream for dessert. during the dinner, the teachers gave out some chocolate bars for ppl who performed well in the day activs. I got the chocolate for the award "under water #@%&&" can’t remember the exact word, but I think I got the award because I was really afraid of falling into the damn cold water, so I was shouting to the 3 other ppl that what should we do and what shouldn’t we do to make us stay on the raft....) I was happy, Mr. F. was there when I went up to have the chocolate. yay, giant TWIX bar!we were all really happy...
then it was the chapel service, some of us were helping in the kitchen, and so didn’t go to the service. after the service, we went to the line dance night activ.(I was wearing a grass green clothes that Judy gave to me, and a dark green baggy pants, so it was like a sexy/sporty feeling combination) we danced "cha-cha, jive, and line dance" it was fun, after the dance, we went to the camp fire, it felt so warm and cozy, about 12, 15 people sitting around the fire and having "roasted marshmallows"(u put the marshmallows on a wooden stick, and yes, it was the real wooden stickes, the once that u pick up on the ground, then u grilled ur marshmallow with the camp fire, so then when it’s sort of melted in the inside, and crispy in the out side, u eat it, and it’s damn hot) Ms. Hill, Mr. Peinke were there, then Mr. Rowe came, he was like, where are the marshmallows?!?!?!? I said, they’re gone~~~(Aussie accent) he was like, u ate it alllll~~~!!!!, (I only ate one at the stage so far.) so then I reply, marshmallows are for kidsss!!! he said: well, I’m a big kid. I just couldn’t stop laughing. then I asked Justine and Clara to make some marshmallows for me, cuz I was afraid that my eye-contact might melt because of the high temperature. suddenly, some people walk towards us and bring a whole lot of marshmallows to us, so basically everyone had on pack of marshmallows instead of one marshmallow. then I felt tired, so I started to look for steph, and she was for some reason talking to Mrs Moody at the side, so I went us, and heard Mrs M said that because Mr B was sick, so he couldn’t wake up early to wake the people who are in charge of the breakfast duty the next day, therefore she asked Steph to wake them us, and of course now I heard it, I have to wake up early to wake them up as well, so me and Steph went back to our cabin, and prepared to sleep(the time was 9 nearly 10)
I went to brush my teeth and wash my face... then I put on my face mask for recovering the UV damage, and on the way back from bathroom to cabin, everyone was sort of scared of my face when they just had a glance of my face, cuz of the mask.
I went to bed with people still talking to wach other in the cabin, I guess everyone’s still exciting, of course I was exciting too, but I wanted to fall asleep before everyone else does. so I out on my iPod, listen to the play list "quiet", then I work up at 3:35 in the morning for some unknown reason, then I went back sleep till my alarm finally rang at 6:00, I woke up almost at the same time the alarm rang.
I guess it was because I couldn’t get used to the cabin. anyhow, then the second day it was... to be continued....
