Beyond my threshold (BMT CAMP 09/10)

just came back from BMT leadership training camp on thursday.
a combined camp of sparc, compere and photographers.
it was a great great great camp of course, with the awesome high-spirited
campers and knowing more people..
BUT this camp totally drained all my energy. yes, all.

When i was on my way home in the train with
Prem, Ibrahim and all the 'east people', i already dozed off while leaning
on the doors. haha.
sleep-deprived, definitely.

the first night of camp, we slept at, 4am.
they let us sleep at 10pm at first, too good to be true for this kind of training camp.
in the end, we all had to wake up again at 12.30am for: NIGHTWALK.
hahaha i remembered the campers' zombie faces.
and also Nathan saying : "they wont let you sleep one lah.. for sure"

as usual, nightwalk means a walk around SP. seriously.
our first stop was FC2 area, we had to walk in pairs, but in the end
they let us go in fours, perhaps cos we had to solve some clues given to us
to complete the nightwalk.
my partner was Wilfred, and Jiale with Ramdan. (:

Wilfred wasnt even scared at all. as expected. hahaha.
we were like the first pair to begin the nightwalk. our names were called out first,
and i wasnt really awake actually. haha
some areas in SP were just so pitch dark at night, and we couldnt rely on the lightsticks,
they werent even visible. :/
and thanks to wilfred's lame jokes throughout the nightwalk,
i didnt feel scared most of the time.

perhaps the freakiest part was when we had to go through
that underground tunnel near FC1 area.
all 4 of us were freaked out, we hugged each other so tight and went in
together. The entrance was already so.. creepy.
there were hidden doors all the way, and during the bonding camp i saw
someone standing in between, but wilfred said that no one would dare to station
themselves there, as it was really secluded and dark.

but overall, this nightwalk wasnt scary to me, compared to bonding camp's nightwalk,
when they had 'ghosts' scaring us all the way.
This time we had to do things like, eat bread with chilli peppers, drink radish juice.. :S
omg that was unforgettable. my face changed colour when i took a sip of the radish drink.

okay so that was day 1. nightwalk and amazing race around school during the day.
day 2, we went out of school, to Hortpark,where we had our amazing race part 2.
this.was.challenging.
mainly because we had to brisk walk for at least 2.1km to reach a station.
games stations spread out all the way to Henderson bridge.

my team was made out of 6 guys and 3 girls. -.-
and the guys practically walked so fast that in the end,
we girls were left behind, running already.
one of the games was we had to carry each other and stuff like that.
we ended off the whole race with a "funky chicken dance", hahaha that was really funny.
i think our effort to finish the whole race was worth it. (:

and then, at night was PARTY TIME.
they decorated the stage at Moberly and we danced and danced for some time.
the atmosphere was great, some of the campers were really awesome dancers.
did our mass dance too. haha memories, im still smiling when im typing this. (:

and then the third day. breakfast, extremely hot Milo with biscuits.
after which we had a de brief and then photo-takinggg!
a big three cheers for our awesome camp organisers and campers, of course.

oh ya, the first night i heard someone sleeptalking.
It was hilarious because this guy fell asleep within minutes, and then started
"telling a story". hahahah the girls were trying so hard not to laugh out loud.
but i bet he was extremely shagged, that's why. :D
Govin and Vincent were, on the other hand, singing. non-stop.
it was like a radio playing, kinda annoying actually. haha

these are some pictures i got so far from facebook.
