V.E. Camp... Part 2!!!
Woke up at 8 plus in the morning in NYP again. Next to me was Hong and next to hong was Derrick. Haix... I was too tired to do anything. Too bad, we need to be ready by 9am so I need to get Hong up and start a the day afresh. Once I got out of the room, I saw Jasmine, Paul, Ping Ling and Cherrie at the stage. Wow!! So early... Still with my sleepy eyes, I went to wash up. I realised that I was one of the people who sleep the earliest and woke up the latest. Okie.. I won.. After the wash up, we got to eat our breakfast at 9, at the North Canteen. What we have for breakfast? Noodles and some other food. We did enjoy our breakfast since everyone was hungry. Paul and I were like going for the 2nd round for the food since it isnt sufficient enough to fill our stomaches. Haha... Ping Ling was reading the papers (Chinese...) whereas Jasmine and Cherrie were chatting with us. Haha... What a morning...
After that, we got to practise the music pieces again. This time, new songs such as Singapura Medley and another one... (Forget already. I dont really want to take out my file and check what's the title of that piece.) Anyway, Singapura Medley was a hard piece. I really need time to get a hang of it. I'm bad in memorising things, that's why... Furthermore, I'm very weak in ready the musical notes, I needed help from the seniors to do that, giving me the right pitch and the right tune to sing the song correctly. After a short practise, we went to the Ampitheatre (think its known as that.) and practise our songs. Nice place for practise as its peace and quiet. Moreover, our voices echoed the place. Beautiful... I really like the part when the seniors sang the song for us to listen. COOL!! That's the best thing about V.E. - Beautiful voices for the audience to hear...
Lunch was served and everyone began to get ready for the next game; a super challenging and tedious game (what I think...); Amazing Race. When the name 'Amazing Race' comes into my mind, it was like 'Oh!! We gonna run one more time.' I dont hate running but after that night's running, I realised that my legs are getting tired. Haha... probably I have not been training well for soccer. Anyway, we took the bus to Bishan Park to start our race. It was lucky that we had Paul in our team. He knows the road well in Bishan and the best thing was that he stays near Bishan Park. Haha... Anyway, before the race started, Cherrie and Jasmine were bored. I dont know why. We were waiting for Derrick and 'Da Jie' (a senior but thats what she called... I dont know her name already... Haha...) First, it was 'Ji Go Ba' (Scissors, Paper, Stone). After that, it was 'Er, Ling, Wu' (2, 0, 5 - another scissors, paper, stone game but with huge consequences.. ) I was the lucky one since I didnt even got a hit on my hand. While for Jasmine and Cherrie, their hands were red. The rest of the V.E. people watched on as we played. Everyone started to join the cheer, especially when Jasmine and Cherrie started to hit me. A combo of 15 times... Wow... The longest in my life, think so... Haha... Everyone was having fun.
The race started and we were like running all around Bishan Park. I didnt know that Bishan Park is so big. Just compare the park with Woodland's Tekong Park, it is totally a huge difference. Haha.. I see my teammates getting tired but still, they would not give up. That's the spirit!! Haha... We were actually the last group but after a real 'fight', we finally manage to be 2nd. Seeing Jasmine and Ping Ling running half way and were like stopping, asking us to go on, I feel like the team should wait for the 2 of them to continue the race. Just look at it. We are a team and we need to complete everything as a team. We wont neglect any member at all. One for all, all for one. In the end, everyone was tired and they started to clear the mess they had on them. The mud they had stepped on has dirtied their shoes and they were like trying to get rid of it. Haha... Poor Cherrie, she bought her shoe less than a month and now its cover with mud. While for Jasmine and Ping Ling, they were like trying to rest themselves... Hey Jasmine... after running, dont sit down and rest. Try to walk around. Or else you will faint easily... alright??!!! Hehe...
We went back to NYP again and you can look at the tired faces in the bus... Haha... we left 2 members in the bus. I forgot its who already but everyone tiptoed and left the bus, leaving the 2 of them in there. I think the bus driver would be laughing too... Haha... Poor guys... we are just too tired... We were allow to relax at the time being. Some went to shower while the rest went to practise their things that we need to perform later on that day. Well, to make the whole show interesting, 'Solo' has make a special performance. Yeah... so special that it was worth remembering. Why? I was the gal while Paul was the guy. We made things to be more interesting... We did try but I'm still not sure did we win everyone's hearts in that performance. haha... Anyway, we rehearsed and rehearsed again. My voice was like getting very stiff. I keep using my fake voice to scream out the words since it was very soft.
When the clock reaches 6, I rushed to have a small meal before attending my project with Andy. Yeah... again.. All the wedding stuff. Looks like I'm going to open a new wedding firm soon. Anyone who wanted to marry as soon as possible need us to plan your wedding, you are welcome!! Haha... Back to the camp, I was late for the lesson. Sort of... thanks to my members, they did help me save some food for my dinner. Haha... I was like rushing to swallow everything in 1 shot. I was late.. remember... while my mates were like looking at me eating... Wow... what a big shot am I... haha... After that, practise started with Mr Ong but he seemed to be unhappy with the singing. Many of us had lost our voices. I wonder how is he now?? Hope he gets to feel better these days.
10pm came and we got to start the performance. Haha... Hong's group started first. They showed everyone the best 5 commercials in town... Cool! One part is when Hong started to act like the Polar Bear in the Halls commercial... Zi!!.... Cool!!! Everyone started to laugh when he reacted. Another part was the Citibank... 'More birds...' Haha... It was really cool for that team to think of this. Hehe... Second group was 'Solo'!!! I acted as a gal and it was like... very gal... My way of acting... GAY!!! Way of saying... MORE GAY!!!! When the performance ended, people would be refering me as the 'GAY OF V.E.' Haha... Last group was Dao Gei... Nice song by them. Starting, Ming Zhao was dancing and in the end, everyone started to sing 'Only Love' by Trademark... Cool!!! Love that song alot. After that, the seniors started to sing their songs, as part of the performance... Haha. We were like their audience, waving the light sticks like watching their indoor concert. Wow!!! V.E. sure rocks!!!
It was prize-giving time and we won the 'Most Entertaining Group' award. Haha... After that, photo taking was done... Everyone was doing different kinds of postures and smiles... Fun!! That's all I can say... What I remember that night was pictures all around the room. After that, more pictures at the stage. Once photo taking was over, fire crackers started... Not fire crackers actually... Those sticks that produce fireworks... What do you call that again?? Anyway, we started playing at the stadium. After that, there's a mini 100m race among us. Haha... Actually I was very tired that night but after the race, I was super hype. After the exercise, Hong, Paul and I went to shower. This time, we see 'Xiao Qiang'... What the... not one but two... You can see me shouting like a mad dog when I saw one coming to my slippers. What the... I keep banging at Hong's cubicle... then Hong came out and we were like running to the other side... Paul came out with no sweat at all... What the... Seems like we need to run for our lives... hehe....
After that, it was story telling time. We entered the gals bunk and listen free ghost stories. Everyone has a part to tell... That's what I can say... Haha... Anyway, I was like a living statue for the night... a pillar for Jasmine and Cherrie... Cherrie slept on my shoulder... while Jasmine on my lap... Wow... It was like 'TECKO SERVICE CENTRE' in operation... Haha... Kidding... Anyway, I dont mind for that... Haha... After that, we moved out to the stage and continue to listen the stories since our seniors had lessons the next day, so we wont want to disturb their sleep. A few minutes later, stories were all over... Time to bed... The boys went to eat their supper. Believe it or not, we got all the buns into our room and enjoy the feast. You should wonder how terrible boy's hunger is... Haha... We ate like 3/4 of the food... Haha... While we were eating, Jasmine entered the boys bunk and slept there... After that, she headed to the stage and slept at there... Soon, I chatted with her at the stage, follow by Cherrie, who joined us and later, Ming Zhao and Kah Hong. We chatted till 5 plus and Ka Hong and Jasmine was like knock out... After that, Ming Zhao and I went to get our sleeping bags and slept at the stage... Haha... I shared mine with Jasmine and Cherrie... acting as a pillow for us... There we go... we slept till 8 plus in the morning... Ka Hong went back straight after he woke up, which was like when we went to sleep... and Cherrie was like laughing so loud before she sleeps... Sounds like she had a virus... or laughing before she sleeps is some kind of her routine?? Haha...
In the morning... Jasmine and Cherrie were calling me up... WoW!!! I was so tired that I became the pig... AGAIN!!! Dont want to get up at all... Haha.. Anyway, wash up again and had breakfast. After that, we had to rush for singing practise as the person was here. The conductor, look gay but quite funny... Ok... Never mind... As everyone rushed up, I was the only one still drinking my tea.. What a rush... I really enjoy the practsie session with that conductor... The whole thing was fun. I supposed that I should be tired but I didnt.. Cool!!! After that, it was time to debrief... Everyone was saying the good and bad about the camp... Well... Scandals were all around V.E. now... even the issue of sleeping outside the stage turns out to be one of them... Haha... Time out now...
