In the camp - Part 2

Title: In the camp - Part 2

7Sep/Fri: Day 2
When i woke up in the morning, i was terribly tired. I could hardly sleep and i was trying to hibernate at 3plus in the morning. What's worse was that i was without my only sleeping tool for the camp - the blue-colored, Eeyore pillow. It was occupied by a foreign object - the Carrot. Anyway, throughout my sleep, i used my sling bag as a replacement but it was a failure. I could practically wake up every half an hour compared to an hour the previous night and would always see Jia Hui coming up from her sleeping position. Such a coincidence.

In the morning, i did the impossible. I have if not never, but a few times, spread jam over breads for people. It was a form of training for me according to Hui Wen. I still need to have manage the electric kettle. Me being someone who is used to being served, has to serve anyway that is small matter altogether. For me, after breakfast, i needed to rush for my individual presentation and went MIA(missing in action) or 闹失踪, like what Yi Da likes to say, for a while. I came back to camp soon after. By then, the Amazing Race had started with all the relevant parties - Gamemasters, participants and Facis - out of school. So when i returned to 02-02 room, i got to see only Hui Wen, Yi Da, Yong Soon, Wendy and Soo Hoon. Soo Hoon was telling me about her favourite idol - Fernando Torres to the extent i was totally bored (no offence to Soo Hoon) but it was so perverted.

Then the logistics team proceeded to the lunch location for the Race. There Yong Soon again, ya, he again tried a new stunt.

Situation: Needed a trash bin to contain rubbish generated from the lunch

Solution: Yong Soon rushed off and soon in 5mins or so, he came back dragging slightly more than a metre tall, rectangle shaped dustbin with 4 wheels at its base from one of the residential areas. But the bin was extremely smelly.

Then i went around the area with Yvonne as we delivered some lunch boxes and drinks. Soon, the logistics team including me left. When we were on the way back school, Yong Soon joked in the usual serious tone. So he started saying one when he heard Hui Wen saying that to have a name that is same in Chinese and English is good like hers. Then Yong Soon immediately recalled his days at NPCC:

Officer: You, come here, (pointed at Yong Soon and asked him to come to the front)
Yong Soon: Yes Sir.
Officer: What is your Chinese name?
Yong Soon: Yong Soon
Officer: What is your English name?
Yong Soon: Yong Soon.
Officer: What is your English name?
Yong Soon: Yong Soon, Sir.
Officer: hey, don't try to be funny. Drop 20 now.

After hearing this, me and Hui Wen were laughing uncontrollably as we walked to the bus stop. At the bus stop, we saw Shu Ting's group. Yong Soon was saying that he discovered that bus 985 could travel in 20mins back to school. So when we saw Shu Ting's group, we had hoped they did not see us. Then Yong Soon made a silly remark. He said he saw the team coming back from the underground MRT station from we were standing. Then i explained it was not possible there was one way entry/exit so they could not have come back from the back. It must be his eyes playing tricks on him.

Then at night, it was cultural night. We were to have fun. I thought we came up with a superb cheer in such a short time. During the event, i was watching the show and at times, taking photos. Poor Pearlyn was demoted to managing the speaker as it was often switched off due to some technical problem. I was all along watching the show and ZERO participation. The highlight was Royston dancing around the 2 poles - Wei Tai and Yi Da.

After that, we were playing card games - from 大老二, heartattack to bluff. For don't-know-what reason, i have to do a forfeit for losing the game while the rest did not have to as now that i recalled. Then Xiao Ting was suggesting me to do a mimic of all the 12 animals in the Chinese horoscope. In the end, i did a monkey which was unsatisfying. I was then made to move like a snake and glided from outside the room back to the room with my hand clamped and straightened and my hips moving left, right in order to produce the motion when a real snake moves.

Once at night, i had nothing to sleep with again. Xiao Ting grabbed my pillow for the night and i had to sleep like that again.
