Time for another lengthy posts. Bear with it... i still have 2 more

Supernova camp: Day 1 - Joel's POV

We were making our back from tecc's mac when we heard that campers haf already arrived!? i think it was around 7? and registration was like from 8am-9am... wth so enthusiastic haha!!! [heard is becos the see the time wrongly] Quickened our pace cos i ha
ven brush my teeth yet YUCKS haha. Went back... go brush my teeth and went to canteen there sit sit while waiting for cedric and company to reach school... apparently they are late. Looked at the programme today and see wat i need to do... then i realise there MAY not be enough time to prepare for flag making so i decided to see if i could prepare earlier for that.... bring the flag making logistics to the carpark behind volleyball court cos i
heard it is easier to clean at carpark den on the floor. 15mins later realised that volleyball ppl have trainin!!! Changed my venue to area behind fish pond for flag making and parade square for ice breakers. Den went to brief to the different tribe leader to see if they know how to carry out the icebreaker and answer their queries also. Shun bian inform them about the change in venues also =D. [i think everyone in programme have already reached by now]

Close to 9.10 i think i went to prepare logistics for icebreakers. Ordered cedric, jia hao and yi qian come help haha. Layout the garbage bag, small water guns, mentos for icebreaker. Also refilled my big big water gun Muhuahua. Finally get to play with it... since last year cant play haha. After that it was introduction of the organising committee and i have to brief the campers about the icebreaker games haha. Without knowing it, i was actually pointin the water gun towards camper in one hand and holding the mic in the other haha.

ICEBREAKER TIME - IC: JOEL=D

It seems that every icebreaker carried out normally. Went around different grp shooting water gun at different ppl haha. Eventually y2 also started shooting me and i was drenched zz. Ppl wanted my water gun and in the end i have to lend mine. Y2 was on a wild craze squirting ppl with the water gun like some siao zha bor. Some grps also have trouble explaining icebreakers so i went to play with them for some of them. As time comes to an end.. it was time for the finale.. blow wind blow modified. Took the mic and start conducting the game actually mainly zuo bo and sit down only haha. At the end of it... i tell the water guns in charge to squirt randomly at ppl when they are lookin for the owner of the shoe. The last person was splashed with a bucket of water in the end. Sadded. AND this concludes the icebreaker session. Campers went back to canteen for reflection. O YA i forgotten after the finale we wan to teach the campers the friendship song... at first it was just me cedric jia hao and yi qian go up to teach... SO LAME LA 4 GUYS go up to teach.... den we ask vionna & ka ching come in also. Then we teach the campers...End up we also teach the campers the wrong thing... LAME< ;P & the campers taught us instead haha. Ok so during reflection time, me hayden cedric jia hao yi qian went to new foyer there to prepare logistics for flag, identity making + cheers. Thx to someone's great insight, we move the logistics into new foyer instead of fish pond area... and we make the right decision as it rained soon after. Then i realised the brushes tips were freaking hard. Shi han suggested we use thinner to make it as soft as possible and so me vincent shi han and y2 went to the boy's toilet to wash... As they were finishing making the brush tips softer, i went to the canteen and gather the grps to go to the new foyer for briefing.

FLAG MAKING etc etc TIME - IC: JOEL AGAIN =D

Actually this programme nothing much... just brief them then i go off le. Went to discuss about whether we should let mind games carry on... but ended up discussing more about teambuilding games. Then only me and y2 went to eat lunch cos we were hungry as i only ate breakfast while the rest ate food which shi han dao bao-ed during icebreaker. Both of us took our packed lunched and sit at kanza's table in an attempt to hun with the campers haha. Halfway thru dunno where y2 disappear then leave her food behind. Ate alone then ying hui talkin to me i think ... talkin bout some SP stuffs i suppose... cant rmb the details. Ate finished and y2 is STILL NOT BACK. Closed her packed lunch and was about to go le... den she finally come back. Went to Da.. watever grp this time (eleen's and shi wee's tribe always cant rmb the tribe name argh!] Accompany y2 eat while talkin to benjamin and this girl called jia feng from ping yi. 1st new friend made! whoopee. Finished and it was time for campers brainstorming for CIP projects lor. In the meantime, programmers went to prepare logistics for teambuilding games

TEAMBUILDING GAMES - IC: VIONNA

Woah PREPARE MY STATION LE!!! My station is actually have this 3 buckets. The campers will have to tie their legs and walk in pairs to the bucket. One of them in the pair will have to put their leg inside to describe wat is inside and tell his partner indirectly wat the item is... so the partner have to guess. DAMN GROSS LA! one of them is whip cream [EWW] another is scrub [POKEY] and lastly is flour [flour-ry]. Got one camper actually saw me putting whip cream inside leh. Then when he come to my station he say inside one of the bucket got whip cream right!? unfortunately he kena the whip cream HAHA FATE!.

OK other highlights include y2 putting face paint on my face... knowing she is very persistant, i know i shouldnt resist so i didnt do anything. As more campers come to my grp, they keep laughing haha... then i realsie y2 actually drow a 'UNIBROW' zzz. After the stations part of teambuildin was done, it came down to the purchasing of stuffs for water bombing and building of structures. All of us programme sit down one side and see the different grp build their structures. I thought the team with the tallest one will last quite long... in the end first one down... somehow deep down inside we wish the most stable one fall... and it really did fall HAHA. Ended up the grp that doesnt look like will win... end up being 2nd haha IRONY. [BTW i cut down this section till very short liao haha]

~Fast forward~

Dakota came and solve the station without me giving much leeway... Grps after that i give more and more clues esp Ho chunk grp... should let them think more instead... i thought they were last so i helped them more....ended up they were the 1st grp ROFL LMAO LOL. During the nightwalk, cedric & shi han keep walkin around tellin me they are mobile stations and constantly cheering themselves... Some hiccups occurred at the end of the nightwalk and y2 was pissed. But as a friend xi guan liao... only can ask them to chill haha. And with Ho Chunk finding the kidnapper...the nightwalk comes to an end. *EDITTED I JUST RMBED HORH actually got 2 grps wanted to royal rumble at my station wan lorh!!!
