I LOVE RCHN NGEE ANN POLY CHAPTER!!
RCHN Common Orientation Camp was a BLAST! I really enjoyed myself. I LOVE NGEE ANN POLY!! I LOVE OUR RCHN CHAPTER!! Definitely a life happening that I want to remember.
The camp was held at MOE Changi Adventure Club. It was right in front of the sea so it was windy and sandy the whole time which was cool. Besides us, there were other chapters such as Republic Poly, NUS, NTU, SMU, ITE East & West, NAFA, UWC, and JCs. So anyway, we were all seperated into 14 groups. We played games and stuff. It was nice.
And then in the late afternoon, we just started to hang out with our own chapters. And NP chapter was SUPER SUPER on and high. We were screaming and standing on benches and cheering almost the whole time during presentations and performances. We were the noisiest.
That night was the best. After the performances and everything we went into our cliques and just talk in the open area under the stars and the sea. The only thing seperating us and the beach was a fence. So it was like camping out at the beach kind of thing. Oh and the place was always noisy with planes. In every minute or two there'll be a plane flying past really low. So it was really a sight.
Anyway, it was me, Wilson, Ximin and another girl (I don't know how to spell her name). We sat at one edge of the open area and talked until really late. And we decided to just sleep in our sleeping bags right there, under the stars. It wasn't everybody who slept there so it wasn't so crowded and so it was super nice. Talked again but Ximin went to sleep first. It was a deep sleep I must say. Haha. Wilson and I had a nice conversation. He's damn funny. And romantic. He brings his girlfriend to see sunset. Sweet hor?
We kinda drifted off at 3am I think. Even though I was asleep, I could still hear snores and planes and the waves and the wind vane thing. The floor was hard and my head hurt. And it was cold. But bearable. Wilson was.. well found out in the morning that he was rolling here and there and almost crushed me. Hahah. I woke up at 5.30am, looked around and saw everybody sleeping so I was just going to try to go back to sleep when Wilson turned his head. Hahah so he was awake already. When we sat up people the rest was wakening. Hahah it was cold and the others who were sleeping with us borrowed Wilson's sleeping bag and made it into a blanket. Hahah.
Since it was still about 2 and a half hours more till gathering, and we were near the East Coast Park, we decided to go for a walk. It was nice. Nobody was around so it was like just me and nature, fresh and cool air and all, early in the morning that it was still dark. Anyway, we walked until the start of the track and started jogging and talking. It was long since I've jogged, or exercise. We stopped at the mark 563m I think. And walked all the way to the jetty. It was this long stretched platform that goes out into the sea. We went to the end and looked at the sea and stuff. We were waiting for the sun to rise too. So just talked and talked again. Then decided to go sit at the giant rocks at the edge of the sea. The sky was lightening and brightening but we were like where's the sun? I expected to see like a semi circle orange ball rising at the horizon but we didn't see it at first. Then he saw it rising out of the cloud, this bright orange ping pong ball. It was pretty! And we could actually look at it, unlike afternoon sun where we have to squint our eyes and stuff. I think that was the first time I saw a sunrise.
Walked back at 7.30am.
Anyway, the top of my hands are bruised from being hit by 3 guys. Wah, they damn super sia. It was like their energy are 3 times mine. And my hits are actually quite painful. It's a game we played la. Hahah. Damn sadistic hor? Games that hurt each other. But the feeling is quite nice, like really hot and stinging. *The following texts were deleted*. Hahah I wrote this long description of what happened but it sounded REALLY WRONG. Hahah. So yea, played the hand game many times with the 3 guys, Wilson, Chee How and Yew Ming. Their hits left me speechless. I made their hands red but I think Wilson's were the worst cuz I played the game with him most. Hahah poor him! My hands were red too and the blood vessel on one of my hands SWELL ok. There was this abnormal bump that hurt when I pressed on it. Terrible right? Everybody else who watched were like laughing and going "Ow!" and "Ooh!" kind of thing. And they were defending me, saying how could they hit me, I'm a girl and told me to just cry and I'll win already. Hahhaha! But of course I didn't take that cuz I was a willing party, so it's not their fault.
Then it was time to go home. There was transportation back to school but it doesn't make sense when we're in the east, I live in the east, and going back to school which is in the west just to go back to the east again. Erm.. sounds complicated but figure it out yourself la. Hahah. So Wilson, being SOOO sweet, decided to walk with me out. I didn't know how to get out from the place to somewhere to get a cab so he was like "We go to East Coast ah. There sure got cabs." Sweet right, for him to accompany me when he lives in the west. So, in the hot sun and heavy backpacks, we braced ourselves for the long, long walk. It was nice really. It was exercise with a good company. Wilson is really funny and damn sweet. I think he and his girlfriend are like a cute and sweet couple. Don't know why. Just felt like that. Hahaha. During the walk, we tried to go and sit on the stones again but we couldn't climb on it!!! Hahah it was funny and embarrassing la. Haha. Oh and we went to see sandcastles!! Big, big sandcastles. Very nice.
Anyway, I love this camp cuz I got closer to people in my Red Cross Humanitarian Network Chapter. I love this camp cuz we were super united and really ON! We're becoming very close. We're just the best! I'm proud of my school and CCA! And it really helps not to expect and think too much. I didn't and see, I don't feel hurt or sad or whatever. ARGH!!! I'm really happy. I hope they'll make another camp. Overnight chalet or whatever.
Tomorrow is the start of clinical attachment. *Long sigh*...
