hello all! haven't blogged in a long time! just came back from RED CAMP 6 Student Leader Camp! 2 days back! it was a 3D2N event. On monday we gathered at the atrium, then headed to the loft. I belong to the tribe Vikings :) Vikings Ouiii!! =D We sat at the loft's lobby on day 1 with our own tribes and had some brief introductions of one another. Well as it was the first day most of us were pretty quiet at first and only talked to people we knew and were familiar with beforehand. But after that we got really comfortable with each other and had a lot of fun. we learnt our tribe cheers on the first day. I like the Centurian's cheer. super cute. hehe it goes "Centurian's ouii!" and the tribe responds "ahhh". "Centurian's Ouiii!" the second time and the tribe responds "iiii (or something like that i think?) and then the third time, upon saying "'Centurian's ouiii!" the tribe answers, with actions, "I wanna wanna be a Centurian star, I wanna wanna be a Centurian star". HEHE CUTE RIGHT!!! =) it's really really catchy. Anyway,after that, we had a personalised tour (PT) where we were split into small groups and each of us took turns to give the other a tour of the school. It was a great experience! =) We definitely learnt from a lot from one another. Yea and after that we had our night games. haha it was really really fun. Exhausting, but fun. That definitely helped alot for our team bonding. Especially this game where we had to move from one point to the other standing on chairs. In addition, at the end point we had to eat an apple without using our hands. =) It was a challenge but it was awesome! =D and then at night we had debriefing and some bonding time. This tribe member Shaun was showing us magic tricks and taught us some of the tricks behind his"tricks". :) Coolbeans please!! im gonna try out a few magic tricks! Hohoho XD We were suppose to be in bed at 2 but we all stayed up till ard 3 plus before turning in. =)
The next day we woke up at around 8 just to wash up and have breakfast at ard 9 and also practiced our cheers a bit . We went back to our same small group we had for our Personalised Tours for Course Counseling (CC). We played games to learn more about each faculty and what the courses in the faculty offers. I gained insightful knowledge on the different courses.I mean i cannot possible remember all the details but at least i now know roughly what the course is about. After that, we proceeded to the field to learn our mass dance. High School musical(HSM) 2 and 3's All For One and Now or never respectively. :)The weather was sweltering hot. BUT that did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. We all enjoyed learning the dance and enjoyed some laughs looking at each other dance or forget the dance steps.HAHAHA :D We practiced under the hot sun for almost 3 hours. Yeap. Hot weather all right. But it didn't matter cuz it was so much fun! =) After then we went back to the atrium to do up and/or finish our tribe identities and banner for about 3 hours before heading back to the loft to freshen up first. After that we had a surprise dinner. The different tribes went to different places to eat so that we could have tribe bonding time. Vikings and Apaches were at Al-Ameen area. There was so much fun and laughter. I remembered our table, while waiting for our food to come we grew so bored that we started entertaining ourselves. We stared at others to see if they were had sixth sense, if they were "normal" and could feel that someone was staring at them. HAHA it was so entertaining! Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions was totally hilarious! super EPIC. HAHAHA. Ok anyway after that we headed back to the loft to bath and all after a really long, sweaty but fun-filled day. =) And then we had debriefing as usual. In addition, we practiced our cheers becuz the next and final day of camp, we had cheer offs and our mass dance! Lethargic as we were, we continued to rehearse and practice our cheers. That definitely contributed to our team bonding :). After that, since it was the last night, we decided to stay up together and have bonding time. Matthew.L started telling us about his bone-chilling experience he had with a couple of friends in the loft. Super scary.I didn't dare to look through the gap at the bottom of the door after that. =( sobbs!T.T! Then violet told us one about FMS block 53. That was even spookier! Plus, there was one about the radio room, and i'm taking radio next sem. Great. Absolutely splendid! =( =( We called Macs in as well. I was holding on to krystalle's arm cuz i was scared. man! They are such great story tellers, to be able to instill fear and suspense in the audience like that! or at the very least, in me la! haha :). Enough about that, after that we played truth or dare and first impressions till like 5 plus before we went to sleep. It was really funny! Especially during the truth or dare session. the actions and expressions of everyone were so EPIC!!! haha.
And the last day of camp arrived in the blink of an eye-2 hours later when i woke up. After brushing up and packing our bags, we headed down to the basement of the loft where we had breakfast and had last minute cheer practices. Each tribe also came up with an SL cheer for Red Camp 6 and the one that everyone liked most will be used by all SL's to cheer. Soon after, we set off to LT20 where we had our Cheer offs! It was really heartening to see everyone so bonded in the short span of 3 days. =) And all the different tribes had really really cool cheers. I particularly liked the Ninja's cheers. It was catchy, funny and fun all at the same time! Great that they won! =) Considering that our group had the smallest number of SL's, i'd say we deed a very decent job screaming our lungs out! Great job Vikings! =D Next we had our mass dance where we all had a blast and danced our heart out to the groovy music. :) Lastly, before we dispersed, we choose the SL cheer for this year's Red Camp and guess what? Viking's cheer got selected! =D =) YAY US! well actually we didn't really come up with it haha. Matthew.L did. Awesome job!Catchy and happy tune to it! :) But he is part of Vikings so i guess u can say that we came up with it? but most of the credit definitely would go to him for coming up with it la. well done! =D After that we took some pictures, hung around a bit and finally bid each other farewell before we left with unforgettable memories of SL Camp. =)
PS: A very very very big thank you to Hazlyn for coming up with the cheers and printing them! Credit to her for that definitely! They are totally awesome! Kudos to her for doing that for us! love ya! =) And a very big thank you to our logi team who rushed to get forks when we didn't have them. Thank you to Violet, Xin Hui and Irsyad for being such fantastic, responsible and fun CSL's during camp!You guys ROCK TTM :) =) =D Thank you to the MCs as well for making the atmosphere so hyped up and everyone who went down during the 3 days of camp. :) BYE NOW!
