Long, long time never updated this blog, must be too busy liao.....
Anyway, I just survived 2 consecutive camps( All boys NS Prep Camp and Leaders' Camp) and I'm grossly drained out of my energy. Not to forget the fricking scar on my face due to skin allergy.
All Boys' Camp was darn tiring. First upon arrival, we were divided into wings and further sub-divided into platoons. I entered Platoon Bravo 1 with andy "phelps" as the platoon commander and he technically learnt fast in becoming a PC. To the extent that we guys were ordered to do 20 push-ups by him for not reacting fast. Haha.... we got an applause from the other platoons and that was kinda embarrassing for us. I literally took a refresher course in footdrills( inclusive of shouting the wrong timing for behenti during marching thanks to Mr Chua "Ah Beng", it was when i consulted hidayah on footdrill timing that i got the mistake.) Powder Bath was...... an eye-opener not just because all the guys were half-naked and putting the white powder on their backs. And I swear I will cherish the wonders of adequate rest after staying up to 3am in the morning listening to the teachers' military experiences in the PE porch. On Friday morning, we did repeative sets of demanding exercises and I ended up doing push-ups like Xingyu. Weak.
After-effects of NS Prep Camp: Hallucinations during lectures. Zzz-ing during tutorials and lectures. I "siam" my way off theresa using this excuse too. Din work for long though....
Leaders' Camp was a bit less physically demanding, much more mentally demanding. I do wish to have a brain like andy such that I can think better and give better ideas. Was in Group J and having Hidayah as IC, this group was kinda fun, not to mention the ever charming Razak being in our group. I forgot the rest of the camp due to my current condition though, but friday night was awesome. Mr Leow played various ABBA songs through the laptop in the hall and the atmosphere was pretty good too. Dominic almost got his worst nightmare, which is dancing with theresa. (also happens to be one of the many sweet dreams she has) That was also the time when I went to cool down and saw Janice still at work ALONE in the LN when the other councillors are singing and having fun in the hall. Although I knew of her responsibilities, I do wonder if another councillor should be accompanying her during this time.

Message to Xingyu: If you can do more standard push-ups than me, then I may drop the taunting. Or not
