4 days of sleep deprivation, surviving on 2+ hours of sleep. Feeling like falling asleep at any second and having to work our asses off. But it wasn't all that bad. Even though everyone said that it would be better if we were campers, being the camp committee was still fun. It wasn't a fantastic experience, but it was worth remembering. Very glad that it's over! Sometimes I wonder why guides have to be so meticulous, haha but we'll probably be more prepared to take on administrative stuff. Everything has to be planned to be a T and if you get a single detail wrong, you may just get a scolding from the teacher. Very intimidating.
Smearing chilli sauce and throwing water bombs at people during Sabotage, cockroaches appearing in our rooms everyday, Shaowin the exterminator chopping off the cockroaches heads, Valerie's mumbling that was really hilarious, CAMPFIRE (the only event where we actually participated)- there's something about those flames that being out the nice side of people, mealtimes speaking Chinese with vic-ki, rachel, ant, huimin, jolynn etc [can u believe I actually spoke Chinese!!-yanne must be really proud], cleaning out the camp stall with shaowin and cloudie for over 2 hours slacking XD, when oli and I were in the toilet and the lights went off and we were in pitch darkness until cloudie rescued us, mingyi and I laughing over
valerie's leg sticking up at an acute angle to the ground and her mumbling, us screaming at mingyi's hair during night treasure hunt, slacking a lot cos I only have to do stuff after camp, jolynn and I looking for things to do and making random comments all the time, A
lot more. Mostly of exhaustion.
Anyway, living with people really makes you know them quite a bit better. Even for a short period of time. I'm just a bit disappointed in someone. I don't know how to explain it. It's not like she did anything wrong but the variations in her behaviour irk me. Sometimes, I feel that I don't stand up for myself enough. I just let things get to me too much. I'm not going to go into cliche shit about how I am hurting cos that's so overly emotional, but really, certain friends
are NOT worth having. Don't subject yourself to putting up with someone just because you're scared she'll be mean if you do sth against her wishes. I shouldnt even have the authority to say this, cos I am one of those people who will give in and give up.
Shaowin also surprised me, usually she's so sarcastic (especially to me), but she displayed her .. friendlier side. Got to know batch mates who I didn't know really well (blame it on the cliques again).
I am extremely ecstatic to be back in my lovely, comfy home. I love my maid! I think I lost a bit of weight cos my shorts were dropping off even more than usual. Yay! Ate vegetarian food mostly when the normal food didn't look nice. Precisely why I am called a SELECTIVE
vegetarian. The quality must be nice too!
I spent the whole of yesterday night writing personalised Xmas cards. It's more meaningful than emailing. How much does postage to China cost? I'm only doing this cos I didn't only sent a few cards last year. My hands ache=[ But it's worth it. Oh and i got a card from
Audrie! Flattered that she recalls me.
Plans for Next Week:
mon- eragon with grace and maybe her brother!
tue- Malaysia! with mum and maybe valerie.
wed- guides plc:( , ikea tampines with dora+jofoo
thu-guides preparation for farewell ( so sad that i wont be going, i am gonna miss certain seniors)
fri- asking audrie and maybe jofoo. Homework day!
I only have myself to blame for not setting aside time to do homework.
When school arrives, the shit will hit. & we'll be splattered to nothing but bits.
