okay. ytd was break camp.
overall, i think oac was quite fun. serious. its like everybody is so high. we cheered everyday and i feel that 3P has really bonded. even thou' we quarelled a few times due to difference in opinions laa. but overall, we still bonded! (: even instructor yiying also say we rock! haaha. :D since ive got nth much to do, i shall blog bout all the acts in oac 2006. and some unforgettable incidents. hehhs.
3/3/06day 1after reporting at mph for a video on the s. island and briefing by chief and teachers, we had lunch in sch before travelling to lac (labrador adventure campsite). yepp. there were TEN GROUND RULES which we had to remember during the camp and follow them. yep. then when we reached there, it was flag raising. act 1 which was low e, started at 2 and ended at 5. :) it wasnt very interesting but some swinging stuff and balancing on this small see-saw. yupp. and crawling on a pole. smth like tt cos i cant remember the names of the stations. haa. x) then flag lowering. so fast. aft that dinner then shower. cant believe it. because its the first day. most of us ate and worked very slow. and in the end most of us didnt get to shower. that includes me. ): but i managed to shower first for the rest of the days! haha. then its astronomy, where 3p and 3i went to the science center.. after a talk of about 45mins or so about the diff kinds os telescopes, we proceeded to the open field to view the different stars and planets. it was so so fun. :) and during the talk rite, instructor yiying and yingying fell asleep can!! omg with chief there somemore. everyone was like shit later debrief confirm kena scolded. lols. so funny la. x me anger jiani and yeewen went to view the moon first. anger was like so funny when she kept saying that she cudnt see anything. cos the reflection of the moon was like on her nose! ahha so funny. a white patch on anger's nose. imagine. hehh. i think the people there magnified the moon too much. all i could see were craters. lol. i cudnt even see the round outline. haha. then went to see saturn. its like very small. but extremely clear. many of us thought it looked quite fake. hah. we were also shown the orion, seven sisters, leo, gemini and some other stars. cant really remember. when we went back to the campsite, the instructors taught us how to do the jamaican farewell. it was quite fun. yes. and i thought is sounded much like singapore town. heh. :)) then aft that was debrief and wash up. then lights out. for the first night 3P got scolded by some leaders cos many of my classmates cudnt unpack their sleeping bag in time. hah. then most of us cudnt sleep cos the bed was quite uncomfortable. and creaky. yarhs.
4/3/06day2we woke up at 5 only to get back to sleep cos the instructors said it was too early. lol. had pt. which was okay la. and then breakfast. black pepper bee hoon. nice. x) then went for the cruise. i almost got seasick la. cos the boat was like so bumpy. but still. managed to pull thru. :) explored kusu island. i didnt bother to copy down the notes cos i intended to borrow the log book from hui min later. hah. then went back to campsite. had lunch. and pet rocket. our rocket flew quite far for boh tries! yaaay. 32m and 28m. i think. :) great achievement i guess. :p then it was flag lowering. aft that was field cooking. our class fried chicken and veggies. and my grp, p3, cooked steamboat. which consists of marcaroni, fishball, cabbage, carrots and other stuff. it was like r-o-j-a-k la. :) then we finished evrything as we were not allowed to waste food. then it was shower followed by knots and lashings. i didnt really like k&l cos it was quite boring and the knots and lashings were hard to do. so i just slacked ard. and when we had to build a shelter i just helped to tie the poncho to the poles. haha. slacker. : then aft that was debrief, followed by wash up and lights out. btw. we had water parade almost everyday. it was fun as evrybody was like 'yam seh'.

at night it was campfire. everyone was at their highest and we cheered for all classes. i think our opening cheer was nice! :) after the campfire instructor yiying kept saying that out item and our clsss simply rocks. ohmygod. we were like so touched la. overall it was very fun. the smoke from the fire didnt really affected us much.
8/3/06day6.ard 5am in the morning, our instructors suddenly came into our dorm and shouted that there was a fire. everyone was so freaked out and we just rushed out of the dorms. even thou we knew that it was a fire drill. when we assembled at the courtyard, chief was apparently unhappy with us for taking 6 min 50 s to assemble. everyone was still in a sleepy mood lor. and we kena scolded for not showing respect blah blah blah. sigh. then our class went back to sleep. and all of us didnt get to brush out teeth! hahas. for big sweep, our class was being assigned to clean the carpark, which had no litter at all. so we 'made use' of the time to cheer and played games like concentration.. haha. slackers rite, all of us. then after taking our bags, we had flag lowering.. then went back to cedar and did a survey at comp lab 3. yepps. that kinda wrapped up the whole oac. i was like so happy to get back my wallet! haha. after surrendering it on friday.
