yay i'm back from AB Camp!:D
and i manage to survive it kae!
anyways
i love dakota'07!((:
we so totally rock like hell man
ok i bet this post sure will be super long

day 0
before that met jiexin at amk hub
go buy whistle and specs hook
then buy filet meal to enjoy
reach school we go hide our hps in cca cupboard
then check in at like 6pm
kena scolded by instructors like hell
kena pumpings like duno how many times
after that was values workshop
the coach carter movie super inspiring
but damn sad also lah
and there's vision workshop
almost doze off when we're not suppose to

day 1
morning proceeded to labrador
that same campsite again
all that where's your sense of urgency
all the pumpings
asking for permission to do this and that
just a repeat of sec 3 oac
even the high elements and general stations never change
oh and i doze off during the workshops
so i half duno what's going on
at least got notes to refer so not that bad
ok i cant remember much about day 1 so i shall move on

day 2
high elements and general stations again
dakota became more bonded!((:
1st was rock climbing
even though can reach the top
but still super tiring
oh and the seesaw plank
i swear its one of the most memorable for this camp
we set our vision
to break the record and achieve balance of 10 sec
initial record was 3 sec and we kept getting 3 sec
but no matter wat everyone just kept encouraging one another
and we were super determined to achieve our common vision
then we got hinted to change our method
from side change to centre people move
and change from 4 pple to only me and fangbi in centre
then we achieve 5 sec!
but then we didnt stop there and continue trying
but not enough time so our best was 5 sec
its ok
we broke the record!:D
determination really can bring us far((:
and i simply love the team spirit of dakota!
even though we may not be the super noisy keep cheering kind
oh and service learning
we're like pro can
did proposal for 3 games all got approved
and the one they wanted is the one we anyhow do!
ok so that's abt it for day 2

day 3
instructor dania's bdae!
sing lots of bdae songs for her today man(:
water activities and sandcastle building
dragon boating was like so super tiring can
and water rafting oso
water rafting was like crap
had to build own raft then use hands to row out to get more materials
sandcastle building
something that everyone once looked forward to
even though the building was a success
but everything else was a failure
super disappointing activity
then fangbi lost her voice cos she scream so much
yet no one listen to her
and shu qin fell sick also
saw aiyi and complained to her like hell
its like supposed to a fun day yet ruined through segregation
oh wells

day 4
back in school
preparation for SL
i successfully seize the opportunity to get my hp back!:D
cos zhan yuan ask me to go get ping pong balls for his grp
haha
then was SL itself
had lots of fun with the disabled
but yet it downed upon me that no one shld ever look down on the disabled
its like i get the feeling that
interacting with these people make us realise never take things for granted
and the existence of such people who face so much of discrimination
are the ones who make us realise this
oh and i manage to talk to yuhan
even though she's ab camp instructor(:
and we got a lot of nap
then at nite set off for land ex
so i shall move on to day 5

day 5
set off from aj at ard 11+ in day 4
fang bi and shu qin were not allowed to come with us
lek wen got SMO so couldnt come with us
so 10 people left
started off with ping kee as timekeepers
and murphy in front always entertaining us
and we set our vision
to reach ecp safely at 5 in high spirits
so along the way
almost got lost at serangoon
then yi feng took over as navigator
and led us out of that area successfully
yi feng pro sia!
then jasmine got blisters
everyone's leg aching like hell
but we were pretty fast
until the major setback came
we were very much ahead of time
until we reach bedok siglap area
took the wrong route and got stuck for like 1 hr +
its like obvious that everyone was demoralised
but yet no one blamed each other for the wrong route taken
instead we put our heads together and tried to find our way out
and the thing was
our determination and team spirit was so strong
and the thought of giving up never once crossed our minds
even though our morale was really low
instructors thought we wanted to give up but we proved them wrong:D
but then i din manage to complete the land ex
sorry dakota
went off in the safety car to ecp 1st
is act cos i alr feel like fainting
but at the same time my ankle swell so use that as excuse
sorry instructor dania i did lie to u:p
reach ecp
really almost fainted
got forced to drink a whole lot of isotonic drinks
then join back the group for discussion after they reach
super glad to see them in high spirits and safe
even though they din manage to reach before 5 am
then on the way back to school slept on the bus
super tired lah
got our bath and sleep
after lunch discussed about our day and stuff
did lots of reflections
and continue singing a lot of bdae songs for instructor dania
and even instructor guan hui also
all thanks to murphy
and we played polar bear!:D
teck liang oversee the game
but he super funny lah
and we reminisced the past few days at camp
then it was graduation tea!
with instructors serving us
and the food was seriously was we call life man
after that it was clearing up and break camp!

oh and did i mention the camp food was horri-gible
breakfast especially
super oily lah
and my stomach just recover only
not suppose to eat lah
never mind
its over:D

many thanks to dakota'07 for making ab camp such a wonderful experience!
and many thanks to our GIs instructor guan hui and instructor dania:D

will the feeling ever go away
