2 DAYS OF AMAZING RACES AND A NICE TAN!!

Hi blogreaders!!!
I've finally blogged...AGAIN!!!
2 weeks of holidays have passed by...and I won't say I didn't enjoy it...

But it's kinda like...50% fun 50% sucky...
I did many fun things in the 1st week...and 2nd week I slacked quite a bit...

1ST WEEK OF HOLIDAYS
The first week was fun!!
I had to attend this compulsory camp tat is related to my course...
Anyways since I'm in the DCRSM course (Diploma in Customer Relationship and Service Management)...
I am automatically in this club called STORM IG...
So they were having a compulsory camp for all new year 1 members...

So on the first day...we were all split into teams...5 teams I think...
My team was called Saranghae...which is Korean for "I love you"...
Sounds cool...hahaha!!
Anyways one of my ex-SOH camp member came up with this team name...
And the SL (Student Leaders) thought it was pronounced as "Sarong-hey"...hahaha!!!

The other teams had funny names like Double Grins...Random Storm...Power Rangers and err something...I forgot!!!
Anyways the 1st day of the camp was on Monday...we played lots of ice-breakers...inter-team challenges...an Amazing Race in sch and a night walk!!!
The Amazing Race was crazy lah!! The clues were hidden in weird places...especially one clue tat said..."2 protractors make 360 degrees"...
My team mates thought it was the soccer field...coz in the centre of the field got this ring tat has 2 semi-circles...
But in the end...it was at this place in South Agora tat's called "360 wellness centre"...WEIRD!!!

And the night walk was evil lah!!
We were all blindfolded and forced to walk up to the lawn at 3rd floor!!
So everyone held onto each other's shoulders...and we climbed the stairs from Agora Hall 4 to blk E6...then we all took the escalator up!!
When we reached the lawn...we were told to do stupid things like JUMP OVER EMPTY SPACE...CRAWL UNDER ROPES...HUG POLES...SIT ON THE GRASS...DODGE WATER GUN SPRAYS AND EVEN WALK UP AND DOWN THE RAMP!!!

It was a very unforgettable night lah!! Everyone was tortured...bullied and tormented by the SLs lor...
I remembered me screaming when they played this spooky soundtrack of a boy saying "Mummy....mummy..." and forced to do weird stuffs mentioned above....

The second day was also quite fun...though we were all tired from last night's torture...
We played more ice-breakers...and had a 2nd Amazing Race!!
This time it was at Botanical Gardens!!!
My team ran around the Botanical Gardens hunting for the station masters...fortunately this time they never hide the clues...
I think there was 11 stations...but we did only 7...which was good enough...coz all the stations were purposedly put so far apart...
We actually ran from one end to the other end!!
It was super hot...super tiring but still super fun!!

And then for the rest of the week...I slacked at home...

2ND WEEK OF HOLIDAYS
The 2nd week was less tiring...but still fun as well...
I went out to Sentosa with my E36R classmates!!!
There were 10 of us...and I was the 3rd person to reach Vivo!! Yes finally punctual!!
I have not taken the MRT in a long long time...

So anyways we bought the pass to Sentosa for $3 only!! And it's for the whole day!!!
We took the monorail from Vivo to the Beach Station...quite fast...around 10 mins??
I missed Sentosa!! I was staring out the window throughout the whole ride...
It's been like....4 or 5 years since I last came...

And when we arrived...we walked to Palawan Beach...
The beach was damn nice!! The sand was quite soft...the sea was quite clean...
We set up a small picnic and the guys started to play volleyball and went into the sea...
I ate lunch first coz I was starving!!
Then after tat we played from like...1pm-6pm plus...
5 hours of being sunburnt..soaked...sweaty and having fun!!!
I remember playing this new game Nad introduced...called DONKEY...
We were all laughing like mad when we were playing...and I became the 1st DONKEY!!!

Then there was this guy who kept staring at me in the toilet!!
I went there to wash my leg coz it bleed when I hit something...
I quickly washed and walked out...FAST!!
SCARY!!

We went back at around 7pm...reached Vivo at 7.30 and ate dinner...
For dinner...we ate at this "restaurant" called The Chicken Rice Shop...
A meal costs $6!!! SO EXPENSIVE!!!
Took MRT home at 8pm coz it was getting late...

And now..I have a tan...but it's ok!!
Phew...21 days of bloglessness...
I shall try to blog more next time...
