Just got back from Dramatically Sporty Camp 2008... AND I FREAKING MISS IT ALREADY!!! DDDD: If only they did a survey, 3 days 2 nights... SO not enough. I was ready to have fun for another day. :DDD

But anyway, I'll break it down for my camp stay, after I just, mind you, just recovered from the flu on the day before the camp. At first, I thought it'd be a total ... fun-but-not-so-fun camp... with the whole share-dormitries, bad-toilets kinda camp...

But I was so wrong. AND I AM SO GLAD TO BE WRONG.

Day One

Woke up, did all that morning-shower, prepare-this-prepare-that thing. Missed the 7.45 a.m. bus... When it came at 7.43 a.m. instead... Anyway, finally got to school, met the others at the foyer. Saw Ian, waved, chatted with him [hope his BB camp was okay] until Ms. Fara came and gathered everyone. Then took the minibus (also used for debate) down to NUS.

---That's when the fun part began--- We were nearly late (supposed to gather at 8am) so we saw a group of students gathered at a foyer. We got dropped off and went up to meet them. We then noticed they were all carrying light bags while we were carrying bulky barang barang, and they were staring at us. We checked around and realized WE WERE AT THE WRONG PLACE.

---Even more fun--- So Wei Zhe found a map while I called Camp Chief Hock Hoe [... O__o] and told him that we were gonna be late because we got dropped off at the ENTRACE of the whole place while the CAMPSITE FOYER was located inside the whole of NUS. Prince George's Park... was inside NUS. And we were at the MAIN entrance of NUS. Guess what? We walked. It's amazing but yes, we walked. What's more amazing is we walked 2/3 km in 23 minutes. We even had time to stop and wave at construction site workers.

---The fun really began--- We thought we were seriously lost, even while following the map. Then we spotted a SERIOUSLY gorgeous apartment. Like... Like... first-class, gorgeously decorated apartment. Those high-class, granite-walled, french-windowed (sort-of) apartments. Called Hock Hoe again, he told us to go around the buildings until we saw a glass roof in the middle of a row of gorgeous apartments. Spotted it, made it, registered and sat with my group. I was with the RED (oh yeah!) team with Charmaine and Queenie.

Was briefed by Hock Hoe about our rules & regulations and sleeping quarters. And you know those high-class apartments I mentioned? Yeah, WE WERE STAYING IN 'EM. It was so freaking ass cool! :DDD I stayed in the dorm block with the red team (separated into two, we were team A2). So when we went into our dorm, nothing much, except our dorm was a long corridor with a KITCHEN and a TOILET (to be shared with everyone) and best of all, WE ALL GOT OUR OWN ROOMS. I checked into my room and was instantly amazed. HOLY CRAP, wardrobe, desk, bed, bedside table. All there. All mine. At that time, I seriously felt we all grew up and moved out to stay in a students' dorm.

Then headed back to foyer where we played some icebreaker games (M&M's Game, saw that coming, knew the rules, informed Charmaine and Queenie to cheat and only take one M&M XD cause I played that in my Sec one orientation camp). Anyway, we decided the red team would be called RED BULLS. And the first counterpart would be REDRED or A1 and my counterpart group would be BULLBULL or A2.

Moved onto playing games. It was crazy, had loads of fun and laughs. Mostly it was the Hua Yi Sec students in my group that taught us the cheers, but otherwise, it was fun. Even though we lost like crazy in the "Tortoise Tortoise Jump" game or the Captain's Ball game against C1... we still had shitloads of fun. Especially during TTJ, when we squeezed like crazy to prevent reaching the other line. Oh wow, we sure showed them who's the real winner.

Moved onto having lunch, food was saltish... :/ But anyway, then had percussion workshop. It was loud and noisy at first, but soon enough, the rhythm grew stronger. In the end, it sounded pretty good. Then all the groups [blue group - BLUE-BLACK & green group - CHIHUAHUAS] moved off outside to perform their own percussion sound, leaving the RED BULLS to the whole room. We did a few fun beats before we very quickly got our stuff ready. In fact, in the whole team group, we were the only ones who actually had a formation. How cool. 8D

Had tea. Then the theatre workshop held by our own team instructors, Windson and Regina. We played some improvising games before moving onto Windson playing random music while we perform to it. In the end it was all good. :D

Then had dinner. Headed down to the supermarket (ON CAMPUS) to buy some midnight snacks. After that had a meeting with Team Singapore Athletes, one from Gymnastics, another from figureskating and one more from netball. They talked about their experiences and performed some stunts, it was seriously cool. Then had a debrief by Hock Hoe (again. Wow.) and hurriedly went off early for a shower with Charmaine.

Finally had a "serious" talk with the other Drama people. Once it ended, stayed in my room, listening to my MP3, drawing Hellsing fanart before growing tired and sleeping. I left the desk light on because I was afriad of the dark, but it only proved to be really irritating... The mattress was seriously hard. But I slept nonetheless. Woke up in the middle of the night just a few times though.

Day Two

Woke up at precisely 6:14 a.m. Went for a shower before heading back to room to change. Had room inspection by Sui Chin (?) before heading down to the canteen for breakfast. After breakfast, everyone gathered in Function room 5 to play some game Ace (another instruction) had. Oh, it was crazy. He made us do weird actions for ELEPHANT, COCONUT TREES and SUPERMAN. Whoever couldn't do it was eliminated... It was weird and crazy. And those eliminated had to do a... penalty. Windson made us do a butt dance... writing the words "Drama Mama" with our asses.

Yup, there was a lotta dangerous bigassbooty shakin' goin' on.

We then had another theatre workshop after that. This time, only had 15 minutes to twist a fairytale and make it into an original play. We chose Rapunzel, where the Rapunzel was a fugly prince and the saviour was a really shallow princess (me, because we had no time to pick another one). It was fun, then had another 15 minutes to brush it up.

It ended being pretty good. After tea, we had percussion again. This time had to perform in our individual counterpart groups. It was okay, little shakey but okay. After that was lunch (better food this time) then met the Team Singapore Athletes session again, but we had two guys from Silat, one from Triathalon and one from basketball. They emphasized teamwork and perseverence. Really taught me something...

Went back for group discussions and rehearsals. Developed twisted fairytale much more. And in the end, we got most of it nailed. Everything was seriously awesome. Our play was impressive to Windson, even to ourselves. Haha, I had a lot of fun yelling with and at my "prince". XD

Then had dinner. Bought more stuff from the supermarket before talking with Zhi Qing, walking around the place before heading down early back to rehearse our play and discuss our lovely cheer. Had a few more rehearsals for our play (it wa so damn funny).

Had another debrief by (dun dun dun) Hock Hoe, received camp tee. Dude, everyone is so right when they say that the camp tee is so long, it's like a dress! Anyway, went quickly to get a shower in case we had another "serious" meeting. In the end, we didn't, but we hung around down there until one by one slowly left. After Zhi Qing went back to her dorm, I headed into the kitchen, talked to the RED BULL girls about our poster and cheer...

There was a huge bug plague after the basketball court (located at the side of our dorm building) were switched off. Loads of huge bugs just flew into the kitchen and surrounded the lights. Dude, it was so freaky. [O__o] Hurried back to room. Least I had no bugs there. Same thing again. Listened to MP3, drew Hellsing fanart (AxI!! AxI!!) and slowly grew tired. Slept this time with all lights off.

Day Three DDDD`:

Woke up at 6:15 a.m. But fell back asleep and woke up at 7 later. Man, that hard mattress was good support. XD Anyway packed stuff and changed into camp clothes before having a quick room check before heading to canteen for breakfast.

After breakfast, had more rehearsals. Went for a technical full-run, it went pretty well, it intimidated the team 1 and 3 people. XD But anyway, went back to rehearse, after a while, the REDRED team came in and they started doing a personal High School Musical performance for us. We sang, but they encouraged us to join them and dance with their "Gabriella" and "Troy" and "Wildcats". Heck, even Windson and Charmaine danced around. XD Then we all brought our props to the auditorium before lunching.

Went back early to the auditorium when I saw the whole REDBULLS have gathered with Windson at their area. They were talking to him, like forcing him to do something. I sat down, and he started singing. Like literally, singing. I don't know what song he sang, but it was good. He sang with passion alright. We even made him sing into the microphone.

WOO GO WINDSON. WE LOVE YOU. ♥♥♥

Then the competition began. The first two teams performed pretty well, but when it came to our turn we seriously gave it our all. We did well. I got applause from a lot of people (Windson, Cheril [sp?]) It felt good. But yeah... After all the groups performed, we then went for our cheer competition. Ours was laggy, but we did pretty okay. After everything was over, whilst waiting for the results, we sabotaged Windson into singing the entire camp (gonna go find that video), managed to get Ace to do the real coconut tree dance, and getting Serena, Ace and Windson into doing the "drama mama" ass-writing show.

That was some serious fun.

After the results, BULLBULL won quite a lot of stuff. REDRED did pretty well. REDBULLS snagged the Best Actress, Best Stage Manager, Best Director, Best Teamwork... And a few others I think... But it was great. I mean it. It was great, maybe then I felt great and glory, but now I feel the heartwarming feeling of achieving something as a team. This camp has 100% made me understand what truly winning something as a team is. Now that's... beautiful.

At the reception, walked around, got a picture of Windson and me, talked to him about stuff before heading back to dorm to get final room check. We were waiting at the foyer for nothing... Then got the message Ms. Fara couldn't make it... And we had to go back... ON OUR OWN. o__o why... whyyyy?! We started to walk but then turned back to take the shuttle bus to the MRT station. But the shuttle bus ended up going out of the whole NUS so we ended up taking the public bus, 97, to Vivo.

We all separated and went home... Ahhhh. I miss Dramatically Sporty Camp already! DDD`: If they host another camp in 2 years... I am so in. It is such a big success. Seriously. I applaud. Loudly. Sigh... Good times alright. Good times. :D

THREE CHEERS AND THREE CHEERS AND THREE CHEERS FOR EVERYONE!

I'm nothing but a beautiful disaster,
Crying tears of blood and joy
Into this black void.
Oblivion;
It's the place to be.
Ephemeral Romance.
Will you come with me?




i want to be

BEAUTIFUL
