LLTC Part II
Sunday, June 25th, 2006ok….so we played space invaders… and my group was the defending team…and for those who dont know what this game is all about..it’s played like this…there would be 2 teams….1 defending & 1 attacking…the defending team will spread out and stand at four different lines while the attacking team attacks[duh right?] by trying to run across the line without being touched by the defenders. So my team was the defending one and i was situated at the first line…after playing a few rounds, after like 10 mins or so….something bad happened…I was like trying to stop Elian from getting across….so when i saw him trying to sprint across….i went all out intending to touch him(dont think wrongly…I’m supposed to do so…the game is played like this…) so all of a sudden(i guessed i stretched too much or i tripped my own leg…that’s dumb right??? I know but it just happened) Kliak Kliak…..and i was on the ground….I tried to get up but i couldnt…My leg was painful[duh] so the SJAB ppl came and attended to me…the icebag wasnt ready so they sprayed some kind of pain relieving spray that relieves the pain( it turns the hair sliver…cool man) thereafter i was lifted onto a chair…..wow….read on…then i was lifted on the chair by 4 strong man(facils/friends/teachers…cant remember who they are…wasnt in a clear/right state of mind then ya….) and they carried me all the way from the track up the steps to the sickbay(F1-5A)…ok now close ur mouth right now…lol….I felt the warmth and care of lasallians la….I also felt so bad that i deprived my group of going to the other stations to continue playing…..
Anyway cos i cant walk so my dinner was in the sickbay….haha…cool right? Air conditioned leh….lol…so my whole group wanted to accompany me for dinner…so they all came….haha…we occupied the whole F1-5A since i am the ony casualty….they brought in lots of food la…heaps and moutains…haha….It was kinda like a blessing in disguise(my injury) just as what John Paul said…I sort of bomded the whole group together.After that was a talk in LT1…some kind soul got me a trolley but when i stepped onto it…it wont move…know why ya?…so ya perished the thought and limped all the way to LT1…not that far la. After that I went to have a shower since i hadnt have one as i was injured…I had the whole shower room to myself la..haha..plus hot water…hehehe..shiok sia….can take my own sweet time. Thereafter i bunked in with another group in 325 since i cant climb stairs and my room was on the second floor….Quite sad right? 1st day of camp and i was injured…missed out on lots of fun things man….
Day 2
We all had to wake up at 5+ in the morning to get ready to go to Macritchie reservoir for morning run…I think it was quite dumb lor…They could have just made us run Mount Rosy(Is that how u spell it?)….no need to take bus….save money,save time,save trouble….Didnt want to go at first but tagged along at last since I didnt want ot be left behind ALONE…But i forgot something…there were overheadbridges to climb…damn…So i took the steps 1 by 1….believe me it wasnt easy…concentrating/putting all your weight on 1 leg and considering the fact that i wasnt exactly light….sat down and waited for them while they all went to run…Alastair,Siyang and some others were there too…Suddenly it started raining then pouring and everybody was like running to the bus stop like lunatics…So poor me and Alastair and some others was like walking slowly…After showers was breakfast and then the talk " Challenging Our Boundaries" at LT1…after that was the 1st 3 habits of the 7 habits of Highly Effective People bu Steven Covey…believe me…if it was not for Bro. Michael conducting…making it as interesting as possible…we will all be sleeping…After lunch was Action Time at ITE Ang Mo KIo Ropes Course…We were expecting flying fox,absailing,leap of faith and many more…but…we only did the wallclimbing or rather they since i was injured…as the weather wasnt that great(it was raining)….Quite a few went all the way to the top…applause pls…while some didnt….there was 1 particular guy who went super-duper fast…and he is Jian Fei from 321…just as what his name suggests..its as though he could fly…and what more it was his first time climbing the wall….wth right? All I can say is he’s born with it la huh? Born to climb…haha…(anway it was quite weird…we were in the same school,same level and same floor and i didnt even know he exists..haha)
So we went back to school to shower…si yang and I had a good one la…dont have the wrong idea…we gave the excuse that we were injured and we needed more time to bathe…but we were indeed injured…haha…so we bathed for like damn long la…lke for 4 sessions. After dinner was the heritage play of St. John Baptist De La Salle put up by all the facils…It was no doubt entertaining and I enjoyed it very much….by the way chuxian was hilarious….see his face and actions then feel like laughing…haha…anyway there was 1 lady who cant sing at all…her voice was like so squeaky lor…after that was song time…love song time man….the songs were great…and the whole "feel" was there…everybody was like putting their hands over each other and was swaying and singing with the music….believe me the scene/picture/sight was great and warm….you can feel the friendship/true and strong bonds of lasallians…after that was reflection time,supper and lights off at 12….
Day 3
As usual we had to wake up and get ready for morning run at 5.45…But this time I learnt my lesson and decided to play safe by staying back in school.So i brought down all mu hw and started doing in the canteen….Around 6.45 Randall arrived…he came for the SYF thingy at 7.30…a bit too early right…anyway was glad that he was here and we started chatting..than as the sky started to turn brighter, more sec 1s and 2s came…Saw francis too and started chatting too…haha…Around 8+ they all came back…and it was shower time than breakfast.After breakfast was the talk at LT " Our Social Realities" by some social worker and probation officer and a brother from St. Pats i think…anyway that social worker looks very familiar…I think he went on a talk show before…a chinese one…After that was habits 4 to 6 of the 7 habits of H.E.P….this time our speaker is Jude tan as Bro Mike had to go to Manilla….although he tried his best to keep us awake by giving out sweets…but believe me more than half of the class is sleeping or dozing off…and i believe the rest were also like stoning or daydreaming la….After lunch was dragon boating but i didnt join them since i need to go to the doctor for my leg…damn…..i was like looking so forward to it la…anyway mom came and brought me to the chinese sinseh/physician/osteopath…after being twisted/pulled/rubbed by him I went bach home to take a shower since there were plenty of time before all the others are back from dragonboating…and i blogged too…and this is why i was able to blog on the 21st of June…haha… I went back to school around 6+ and joined the rest of the camp for Alfreso Dining…Initially, i thought it was like something very special very sumptuous….but guess what….we had PLAIN porridge and PLAIN water for dinner and guess what Alfresco means….It is outdoor in some other language….It was supposed to let us reflect and fell/experience how the poor/unfortunate ppl in Singapore were feeling….some of them really lived on this…
