X’Venture Youth Camp

ahhh so long nv blog cos so lazy!! haha i betta blog all these down b4 the year passes!

aniwaes the camp was cool. quite slack lah actually. 1st day we met earlier to go thru last min admin stuff. gosh, movin 3 tins of 7-ltr paint, 2 big plastic bags containing like 20 polo shirts and 30 tshirts worth $519, one big box of Gardenia bread (15 loaves and 60 buns), 3 sleeping bags and my own stuff. dunno still got wat else, but it was damn heavy lah. poor YY had like 10+ sleeping bags to carry, and even worse, Eugene had 30 cartons of Yeos drinks and 60 Teenage mags. not forgettin Gary’s 60 M1 goodie bags and 20 pkts of Nescafe satchets.

so yups helped to pack the goodie bags, nearly forgot wat else to put in cos there seemed to be so many stuff lying all over the place. aniweas the youths came, and there was ice breaking, except dat of course the facis conducted it so i juz slacked wahahah. played Bluff with eugene, kq, yy and kc. obviously eugene wld finish first. i came in 2nd cos kq kept thinkin i wld be bluffing, but hey i’m such a gd gal, i swear i reallie din lie durin the game at all kaez. yups so i got bored, wandered around, ‘supervised’ the other acitivites and chatted with LC and NicN. den it was lunch, den painting, and more supervision from yours truly. oh but halfway i went to set up the nightwalk obstacles. den there was dinner and nightwalk. bleah walked thru the botanic gardens lookin for the grps to pass them flashlights. anwieas i was manning the obstacle course, and it was pretty funny and entertaining to see the youths navigate it while blindfolded!

2nd day no breakfast!! :sad1 went to Sentosa to prepare for the adventure race. blur me forgot to give the jigsaw pieces to the grps. aniwaes aft every1 cleared my station, jinda and i went to the beach to prepare the last station. the weather was freaking hot. luckily gary was around to help us move the heavy water guns and stuff. den we waited for all the grps to arrive. played a bit of frisbee but got bored. den last station, den lunch, den slacking. hm the program ended early so there was quite abit of free time, so juz left the youths to play on their own. not very good actually, but i think most ppl were tired aft the mornin race. so the rest of us were juz slackin in the shade, talkin rubbish. there was an awkward moment when ralph asked a qn, and elene was miffed and walked off. aniweas it started raining, but thank goodness we were all nearin the visitor centre. waited for the bus cos the uncle was late!! went back for BBQ.

muz say..the bbq was a great success!! :beam1 all thanx to me!! wahahha. cos everything from the food, down to the ice and skewers and utensils and charcoal were sponsored!! ben and jason came up to me and commended me on a job well done. jason even said i shld join the main club and he said they’ll arrow me for future sponsorship stuff. er thanx but no thanx. jason was so serious when talkin to me that i wasnt used to it. he said cos on official biz so muz be serious. bah! oh KW was amazed dat i got the bbq sponsorship. he finally realised dat i wasnt juz a slacker! haha. you should juz see the look on his face when he realised it. anwieas erm we had 4 pits but the youths commanded them all, so the facis and plannin comm din reallie eat at all. so aft they went back to wash up and debrief, den we ate watever dat was left. and dat was like 12+am liaoz? aft the debrief, still had to clean up. there was a lot of chicken wings and dunno wat else left, so eugene took them all home. shite so wasted!! aniwaes it was like 1+am b4 i finally got to bath. convinced KW to wait for me b4 we ate instant noodles together. ya the dinner on both nites not enuf, so jinda and log ppl had to go out and buy lotsa instant noodles back for us. yups so we had instant noodles, and entertainment was provided by Yen and Nic, cos Yen was watchin sm Idol stuff on her lappie. den gary, kq, mag and karen aso came downstairs to play Uno. so..hm duno why but i took damn long to eat my noodles. den watched the Idol stuff. den by the time i finished, HY and Eugene fell aslp doin sentry. actually HY, Eugene and Gary were supposed to do sentry with me aso lah. but i juz told them both to go slp, den went back downstairs to play Uno haha. around like 4am, Yen, Nic and Karen went to slp. KQ stopped playing, so left Gary, Mag and I. we played till like 5.30am den they couldnt tk it and went up to slp, even tho we were all supposed to wake up at 6am!! so…i tried to stay awake for half an hr, cos canot leave the sentry post unguarded mah..not very good impression lor. so Mag tried to accompany me, and fell aslp. while i myself nodded off. gosh, dat half an hr was so nan guo. aniweas finally it was over. :psycho1

3rd day no breakfast again!! :sad1 so bloody sad. had to rush to upper quad to prepare the telematch stuff lor. helped to fill water balloons. so bloody difficult cos the freakin balloons were so bloody small and delicate!! argh. and only got one pump. and i din slp the whole nite so i was grouchy.

aniwaes so damn tired i fell aslp waitin for the youths to come. den i had to man one station of my own. quite fun actually, mine was gettin the 2 grps to eat half a watermelon and see how fast they complete the task. quite funny and entertaining again. wow they can reallie eat. but it was quite messy lah. eugene helped me to wash up the place, and den the rest of us played with the remainin water balloons. damn i’m bad at aiming haha. i fell aslp again aft dat, juz b4 lunch. aft lunch was packing up, den last debriefing lor. den we had to pack up our own stuff. there was a lot of leftovers, so we were juz splitting them all up. eugene got so much free stuff, i’m jealous!!! haha but i got sm aso lah. but he got more!! went home and crashed from 6pm all the way till Sunday haha.

aniwaes quite glad dat the camp was a success, and luckily no1 ran away!! thank goodness. and my sponsorship was good lah eh? hehe. Hong Leong Foundation, SPH, Gardenia, M1, Teenage, Innotrek, EZB, Yeos, Nestle, NTUC Income, Delifrance. hm 11 in all!! :blush1 cool eh? and we din exceed our budget, so i think we hv quite a bit left over. hope i din miss any receipts!! haha. but on a serious note, i think we would be donating the money to the victims of the tsunami catastrophe.

i think sponsorship was fun. haha. tiring but fun. i wouldnt wanna try programs. no way jose, never! welfare or log would be fine with me if i wanna experience smthin new. or i can juz stick to good old finance. aniweas, glad to hv met new ppl durin the camp aso cos they were reallie fun and nice. oh yar, me and King kept buggin YY to sing hokkien songs. man she’s good!! she like knoes the entire song in hokkien leh!! and not one word pronounced wrongly. den there were the crappy jokes dat we told each other during the preparation b4 the nightwalk, and during the Uno game. really good fun.
