Overtly ambitious, I must say, squeezing 5 days into 1 post. Nonetheless I'll still try, while trying to fend off attacks from JH in gunz.

Okay, so basically, from what my faint memories tell me, on monday, I had econs.

Met in KC library 9. Then a 3 hour lecture, got chased out of library, went to Jurong.

Which is incidentally Mr Quek's hometown. Suspicious, really, given that its within such close proximity and going home would be damn easy.

Anyway, it was just lots of lectures/visits.

JTC's seriously lousy. Boring place, sucky food.

ZZZZZZ.

Day 2 we met at CBD, then visited some impt. places.

Like bank HQs. Seriously...

We were encouraged by a TEACHER to break the rules of the viewing galleries.

"See if you can break 11 seconds! Thats how long we lasted last time until we got caught!"

I actually listened. And security wasn't alerted, LOLOL.

Nice try.

Starbucks and pacific. Flabbergasted at the prices. Just a few stupid coffee beans and some stupid brewer and 5 dollars a cup.

Dung dung dung dung.

Honestly, I'm dead fricken tired now.

So i'll breeze through NCC.

Day 1.

Muster parade, physical challenge, 18 click trek.

Physical challenge was nothing like we were used to.

Launching terraces. CHINUPS (god.).

It was based on a kind of sacrificial system, so while you challenge/kill yourself physically, someone else suffers in a really discomforting position.

Bleahx.

I remember we were darn tired after the thing and was looking forward to leisurely lunch.

Fat hope, we were given 10 minutes to finish our packed lunch and another 7 minutes to change into our no.4

We take 30 minutes usually to change into no.4, so thats camp for you.

Somehow we made it and set out for some stupid trek.

18 full km of torture.

Treetop trail, anyone? We took somewhat the same route, only that was around 30% of the journey. Nearly died of fatigue halfway.

grumblegrumblegrumble.

Thats what I did all the way, expressing extreme pessimism to our Part Cs, Karlton and Derek.

"We are sooo going to die"

"No we aren't, lets pull through together!"

"You ever wondered why there're so few NCOs?"

"Uh..."

"Well the rest died on trips like this. If you haven't noticed, the Part As, Bs, Cs, and NCOs are aligned in this order based on unit strength."

*Speechless*

Rantrantrant.

"I'm going to crack my heels and flop and die."

"No you aren't"

"Yes I am"

"No you are not and because I'm a corporal you listen to me"

"I don't care la, you can be the almighty turkwa seller for all I care."

Splatsplatsplat.

"Jiayou!!"

"Aiya fish la... here no petrol how to jiayou! We need so much that 3 Saudi Arabias also not enough for us la...."

"S*** you now go use natural gas"

"Jiaqi!! That doesn't sound right, so shut up and we're all gonna die."

"PURPLE LIGHT!!!!"

"Aiya don't care la, colorblind."

Etc. etc.

Any motivational efforts on their parts were ground into bits by sheer disinterestedness. But they didn't give up, kudos!

Anyway, I gave up at the 14km mark. Jiahan and Bill gave up very much beforehand whereas Chewy managed to survive till the end by chewing his tongue...

1. Chew tongue
2. Taste Blood
3. Get distracted from the cramps
4. Press on.

Took our lieutenant's car back to school.

Slept in it.

Then more hectic schedules, then we made our own dinner.

Sucked big time.

Next morning I ponned orienteering. Legs giving way le. Now I feel guilty, I saw the PartBs soles after that. Fully blistered...

I've got a really large one myself.

Bunk cleaning throughout 3 days was hell. We panicked totally and 3 ppl shouted room. Pump pump pump.

K-I-D!

We got off easy first time, hell the second, scotfree for the third. No time you see....

THEN, THEN, THEN.

*DRAMATIC DRUMROLLS*

HCINCC AMAZING RACE 2006!

Set out 20 minutes early.

Xtra points from.
1. Beancurd
2. Worksheet

We wrecked the beancurd 5 minutes after we started, lol.

Dumb travelling to Novena, missed 2 buses.

We ate at Rasa Novena. Walao eh, the lady proprietress so nice, give us free drinks...

Very embarrassing. PDS head's mom...

Tralala then we went to Somerset!!

Phototaking with people fulfilling certain criteria. Took pictures with quite some people. The final criteria was NS-man, but wth? WEDNESDAY IN ORCHARD ROAD? No need go camp issit? So SGT GX gave us this.

"Female above 15 who is a virgin"

NOT HARD. Very easy. ONLY.

*SLAPSLAPPIAK*
*OWWW*

You get the point.

Then Adeline JUST had to appear.

This is called total tyconess. JC1, and whether still a virgin, that would not be confessed due to *ahem* certain factors of consideration. Like my big mouth. etc.etc.

SO.

We got our photo. =P

Then we left for JURONG INTERCHANGE.

It was sooo funny.

This perhaps required the most public courage of all.

OBSTACLE 1: Attract attention for more than 15 seconds, from more than 5 people.
OBSTACLE 2: Extort 50cents or get a person to sing a song. Person must fit certain criteria...

If you havn't realised, HCI is a very rubricky place because its students are soooo random. lol.

So. Derek and the other lechers went for the chaochiochiobus la. They were totally dao-ed. -_-''

Of course, we had to come up with some lame excuse. We settled for the classic one. NO EZLINK.

-__-''

We marched in public for the 1st obstacle, then marched on the spot to complete it. WE WERE TOTALLY FUNNY AND OUT OF PLACE. Burning with shame my face was.

For the second we easily conned 4 people, then the last one had to be a song, so *ahem* I went up...

"Eh, do you wear braces"
"Uh yes."
"ERM ERM ERM OKAY SO YOU SEE WEIJING HERE. ITS HIS BIRTHDAY AND TO MAKE IT A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE FOR HIM WHICH WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO COULD YOU PLEASE SING HIM A BIRTHDAY SONG???"
"*blank look*"
"We'll sing with you!!"
*Entire Arbiter section eye-gang-rapes her*
"Orh... okay, fine."
"3, 2, 1, (horribly out of tune) Happy birthday...."
"To you....
.....
........
...........
............
................
.................
Tada.

She just rolled her eyes and went off. Some rotten attitude.

ANYWAY IT WAS DARN FUNNY.

Clearly illustrated the power of a team. Anything also can do one.... I tell you, even if they told us to strip of something as along as everybody stripped it would be bearable.

Hee, if I make it to NCO status.... *rubs palms*

We didn't get to our fourth obstacle in time.

ANYWAY WE HAD A ROCKING BARBEQUE.

Protocol and discipline still needed. CSM set the marshmallows on fire and blew them out. Beautifully golden on the outside, liquid marshmallow inside. Pure bliss.

We couldn't finish the food, even in a company of around 100....

So we threw some away and the rest because NCOs' supper.

We were drunken with food and soda... we staggered around talking cock.

Part Cs prepared the food mostly, Part As like our dear 1L-ians... slack la!

Talk cock, slack, so fun.

After you go through the tortures of camp food you will finally understand and enjoy food even more. Learning how to appreciate what you have, thats crucial.

Ah well, got to go sleep, its 12. And thanks to all who tagged.
