Chinese Camp
Monday, December 12, 2011 @ 11:35 PM
Ni Hao! This is kinda late.. but I wanted to blog about the Mandarin Immersion Camp I attended on the 25th-27th of November w/ Cindy, Mly, Mi, Stacey, Alanna & Terry! Yes, Terry was the only guy that attended but dw, he eventually made a new buddy :)

Anyway, because camp was on the 25th (Friday) we obviously missed out on the last day of yr 10 & spent our weekend at Brookfield QCCC instead :)


These were taken before swimming! Excuse my face :)

  • I took a quick shower & got changed for dinner which was from 6-7pm
  • I think I tried to keep Mi company but she kicked me out of her room haha
  • The other fags took ages to come back!
  • Dinner was fantastic! We had chinese dishes and it was so mmm. Dessert was yum too!

    Quick snap w/ Mly after dindin :)
Then from 7-9pm we did "Learning Chinese through songs" My god, please believe me that this lesson was extremely frustrating due to the fact that these songs were so easily stuck in your head. We sang along to "Mei Shi Jian" by Milk Coffee? & holy fucking shit pretty sure it was stuck in everyone's head afterwards, and also "Kan guo lai" by Richie Ren & there's also an older version. Basically, we had to re-enact the MV ? Or something like that... can't really remember.

Went back to our dorm & lights out was at 10:30pm lol no. Biggest joke I've heard. I ended up sleeping at around 1 am? Well anyways, we stayed in a dorm, I think it's what it's called. There were 5 rooms inside our dorm! 2 rooms had 2 beds in one, and the other 3 only had 1 bed in it. One of the windows was accessible from the outside (middle room) so nobody stayed in there. Mi & Stacey shared one room & Me + Cindy shared another. Alanna didn't even sleep in her room at all LOL she was too pansy! Um, it was carpeted & when you walk in there's a sink area then to the right was the shower + toilet.

Mine & Cindy's room

Yeah anyways, everyone fought over the shower haha. Typical. It was that much worser cus Stacey & Alanna didn't take a shower after they went swimming? So they took yonks! So I was the last one to finish showering! It was really fun inside our dorm, omg me Stacey & Alanna were luvo-ing whilst waiting for the shower so here's a few of our shots.


Alanna / Disturbing the others

Being gay vain cunts / Being cuties

After running around our dorm, being crazy losers, showering etc we all invaded Alanna's room with the exception of mly cus she was tired so instead stayed in her room watching dramas. We played cards, and just talked about random things, but it was cool being able to stay up and just talk & chill with eachother :) For whatever reason, they all decided to sleep in mine & cindy's room so Stacey slept with me & Mi slept with Cindy whilst Alanna was on Mi's mattress on the ground haha. Fell asleep after like 30 mins? I woke up in the middle of the night to piss and Mi & Stacey were gone? I found that strange and just went back to sleep anyways.

Day 2

Woke up randomly in the morning due to some noise, & Mi and Stacey were already up annoying/trying to wake up the others. I pretended not to know so when Stacey sat on my bed and attempted to 'wake me up' I literally jumped up in my bed and it totally scared them LOL!

  • Got ready & headed to breakfast
  • Breakfast was bacon, eggs, toast, hashbrowns + choice of various cereals. This was from 7:30-8:30am
  • Random shots from that morning

Hi Stacey / QTz / Their natural look LOL

  • 8:30-10:30am learned about 'Leisure & Travel' and had to translate this huge as paragraph & yayay our group won that :D
  • 10:30-11 Morning Tea (I think we witnessed Stacey sucking tea bags yet again!)
  • 11-12:30 Learned about food. In all honesty that was a really boring lesson and I was struggling to stay awake :(
  • 12:30-1:30 Lunch. We had burgers chips and salad, omg so yummy!

1:30-3pm was Tai Chi. Man I am so bad at this kind of stuff :( Ms recorded us and it was so embarassing! Then had afternoon tea.

3:15-4:30pm Oral activities. Guys, we had to prepare a 10 minute musical for tomorrow morning! So basically make up a song about all the vocabulary that we've learnt and do dances with it... it took ages! At free time, we spent our time doing that too since we didn't want to look like idiots in front of everyone.. umm I forgot if we did anything else with free time :( I think we played cards in Mi's room! That was fun and intense haha :)

Went to dinner and had apricot chicken & other stuff! Then from 7-10ish? we watched this movie called "I not stupid too" or something like that & omg it was such a sad movie! Recommend it if you're uberly bored and need a movie to watch! Most people were in tears by the end of the movie and everyone's faces were red, aww @ ms chen! The lead guys were pretty cute tbh, haha & I just sat in silence and kept staring at the guy named 'Tom' Cindy was watching next to me and there was this part where we just laughed out loud and everyone stared at us because of the situation in the movie :( We were in a sad mood after watching. Before this we watched some running man on ms chen's laptop ;)

QTz b4 the movie!

Then we headed back to our dorms, showered & stuff and some of them went to play UNO and cards in the food hall whilst me, Mi & Mly played cards in Mly's room + Cindy joined halfway. I also snuck ramen into the dorm so I was just eating as we played. Omg I think I felt really high and kept bobbing my head? They raged at me so hard LOL I choked on the noodle :( Then everyone came back & we raided my room to play sherades + this dance game. It was funny! I think mly was watching dramas again LOL then went to Alanna's room to play Celebrity fruits & basically guess who games? It was random but also very fun :D


Stacey @ her best / Alanna

Then me & Cindy talked about random things til we got sleepy & I think we laughed too loud!

Last Day

  • Breakfast was pancakes!
  • Learned about Chinese & ICT.. another sleepy lesson :(
  • Skipped morning tea to work on our musical, but thankfully Terry was kind enough to bring us back some food! My god that MT was so delicious!
  • Then worked on our musical some more
  • Performed it, it wasn't that bad I don't think? haha

    Then we had lunch & it was a variety of things. It was so yumyum! Stacey & Mly were contemplating whether or not to go get more sushi since there was a note that said '2 each only please'

Would you just look at that delectable orange juice?

Then we went back to the room and did our certificate ceremony thing. Our group did the best so we got these bags as prizes? Oh yeah, after breakfast we had to clean out our rooms and vacuum it & holy shit, the vacuum reeked like so fucking bad I wanted to yak!!!!! I kept complaining and running everywhere haha :$ The rest of the photos from that morning!

Excuse my face :$
Haha, cutie!
