Ice Camp

Day 0

Reached school at 9am waiting for all the OC to gather to start day 0 training. Waiting for my MAE club people to come at 10am to paint banner. But none of the groups appear on time. Which gives me time to rest. Just when i want to rest, They come and say go eat MAC. After lunch i was like rushing for the final update on camp booklet and i had to go for meeting. Meeting for MAE day.

MAE Day meeting was hell. Forever ramming us down. So Bloody DEMANDING. Forever want this and that when i have given them what they want. They ask for more and more. That Teo Beng Sai just bloody bully my year 1 commiette like dogs. And so i step up and raise my voice and that whole meeting was like argumentive. Super SHAG i am telling you.

Went back to camp and realized alot of shits still needs to be done. and i need to be at 2 places. Doing 3 things at the same time. I was wearing the NUM shirt which says " got problem please call me " and every 2minute someone will call my name for help or wateva. Just every 2 minute someone will call my name.

Having met up with my NAZI team, i assigned them jobs to make props and blah blah. They went to sleep. OC are still busy doing their job. Thanks Tze huan, Xiao min, Angeline and PAN for helping me print and staple the booklets while i was sleeping.

Day 1

After sleeping for 1.5hours have to wake up and welcome the campers and prepare a short intro with my NAZI. From that point of time my NAZI was like taking command only from me, 'Hitler', wholeheartedly. After the intro was games for the campers. small cock up but solved somehow by itself. I was rather stressed and relieved that this problem solved itself. My Lunch for today was still ok. Ate 1 pack.

Water games after lunch was like fun. until like 30min later major cock up happens. This shit happens during the earlier games. I was too tired to think what happen again. I jus got selfish and without telling anyone where i went, and i just went missing from the camp surface. I was sitting somewhere looking at the campers playing and scenery. To my surprise after the MIA session. The problem solved itself again.

The problems arises and solved because we are singaporean. KIASU to play den don care order and play randomly. So somehow everyone get to play all the stations.

Telematch i didn't get to play the basha. Maybe i don wan cause it will get my ass very soapy and i can't bath till the next morning. I believe the campers enjoyed themselves in the basha section.

My dinner was 1/2 a packet of food.

Come Night time i was so glad that i droped my tears cause night ICs are back. The stress of everyone asking me what is going to happen at night what are the things i need at night who are the man power at night. It seriously ain't as simple as you think. Imagine me crying out while hugging them. The stress level dropped tremendosly for me.

Went to help out the log team with covering of exits signs and blockage of route was somewhat my kind of job. Nightwalk was successful cause it is a nightwalk and not a morning walk.

Night experience was just horrifying for me. Firstly when i blocking the route i took a bin to block. At this location where it is dirty and i took the bin, they made a loud bang to scare me. Like not happy i use their Bin. Secondly when i walked the night walk alone as a floater cause my partner had something on, i walk in this row of staffroom and they jus lock the staff room room. Somewhat trying to scare me. Third was when i was walking at cafe side at business block, i can hear alot of them talking and the sound was like damn noisy and hazy kind. fourth time was when i went to the banana route. I walked pass this toilet which riside a female ghost. When i walked pass the toilet, she made a sound to call me. So i just walk la.. Till another place, at the side of my eyes, i saw this big tree falling down making a loud thud. at the same time the tress still stand there. kinda like i saw the shadow fall and make a loud thud.

Just freaked out totally and heard 2 couples of campers went missing due to supernatural forces and found at the end. They were from my route somemore. Just stress me alot alot.

Day 2

With just 30min of nap went on with day 2. Events team decided to go out to clementi to eat breakfast due to some argument with the commiette the last night. Thats explains the 30min sleep. didn't eat much porridge and back to school to bath. Looking at the campers enjoying the Algorithm March was just satisfying. Lunch time i didn't get to eat and had to plan stuffs. Run to all the stations for games after lunch. Pratically my lunch was few fishballs eaten at 5.45pm.

Dinner was just 3 mouth of food and off to settle night stuffs. Bapok Night and Disco night was rather a tough night for me. I was fighting to keep awake and trying to make the event going.

2nd night or rather 3rd monring was the most funny moment for everyone in the camp. This event made everyone laugh for sure. And now the campers knows abt it as well.

Day 3

Slept for 2 hours. Woke up to realize i was sleepwalking and sleeptalking. I was suppose to be sleeping on the table half naked, but woke up sleeping against the wall wearing danial shirt. while i went to take a shirt to wear, i went to wake up a GL for dunno wat reason and i went to sleep. Every 15min interval somehow i woke up and started talking abt games and nightwalk. What time to dispatch them, how to play and stuffs. It jus cracked them up and me up. Anyone know how to stop sleepwalking? Like scary only la.

After a long debriefing talk went to prata house to eat and went home. I realized i lost my keys and decided to sleep outside my door step till someone come home. And ASH reminded me that i can't sleep cause i might sleep walk!!! i was like OH YA SHIT! but in the end still sleep haha.

my first time in ICE camp was last year being a camper, 2nd time now as a Organising commiette. Experience was just fun totally, the challenges faced and taken down. The part where friends are made. New friends come into my life. It is just nice. I just hope these friends i made will not be another 3 years friendship thing.
