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 :)
- Arrived @ school around the same time as Cindy
- Put our luggage into the paradox room & proceeded to the sports center where there was a special breakfast going on? There were master chef contestants there! Yeah, at our school, weird.. & this was like before 7:30!
- Grabbed our free sausages & met up with Stacey, Mly & Alanna and went back to the paradox room
- The maxi taxi arrived (yes, instead of a bus or something the 7 of us took a maxi taxi to camp) and out hopped ms chen to rush us all in!
- I think I over packed (Like always.. oops)
- The taxi ride was spent playing cards and talking about random stuff!Le Taxi Ride!The trip only took us 20 minutes or so, & when we arrived we put all of our luggage into this room and just waited at the reception for the other schools to arrive (Indro & Centenary) me & Mi played games in our book & the others played cards or w/e. It was extremely awkward at one stage because Terry tried introducing himself to these girls from the other school haha.
When everyone arrived we were lead to this room which would basically be our Work/Activity room if you would call it that, but yeah, all our lessons were held in that room. It was timber floored with about 3/4 ceiling fans & glass levered shutters. Not too bad!
- Ms Chen made us play an 'Ice-Breaker' game to get to know the other students, it wasn't too bad either.
- Lined up according to height & got split into 4 work groups which we'd have to be in for the duration of camp! We named our group 超自然 which means 'Supernatural' Oh, may I add that I was the shortest person at camp? Sad moment right thur. Our group included myself, Stacey, Lane (from Indro) and Erika (from Centenary). They were lovely to work with & meet :)
Started our first lesson which was "The Individual & Health" run by ms chen & we basically did work from the work book that we recieved! (It's an educational based camp so yeah, lessons haha) That went until 10:30am.
From 10:30-11am we had morning tea! The food hall was carpeted, with self serve juice/water/cordial/tea/coffee bar at the back (which was heaven) and Buffet smorgasbord styled at the front. I believe we had choc muffins. Let me say this now, I LIVED ON THE ORANGE JUICE THERE FOR THE WHOLE CAMP! LIKE, IT WAS THE THING I DRANK THE MOST.
From 11-12:30 we had a lesson about "School" umm, it was alright, we had to interpret these coloured cards & figure out what subject it represented. Omg, it was like so intense & difficult to some degree, but our group won that ;) Oh yeah, if any of the groups got something correct or knowledgeable, it'd earn them a star! (We were highly competitive) - 12:30-1pm was lunch! Omnomnom! We had pasta :D We also had clean up rosters!
1:30-3pm Fan dancing! It may sound lame, but it's challenging and fun! We each got handed this large red fan that was highly amusing to fan out because it'd make this loud, and trust me when I say loud, noise omg. Fan dancing was so funny! I was a major unco person & ms chen kept filming alanna because the things she'd do was just really funny! I kept doing these suss fan dances to cindy haha. I'd also put the fan in front of my face then close it and reveal this seedy as face to her :) - 3-3:15pm Afternoon tea. Choc cookies.
3:15pm-4:30pm Small group oral activities. Omg, I despised these lessons the most :( Because they were so embarassing! Well we had to watch this silent video of these people from QA acting out "health" scenes and using our imagination we had to come up with a script for what they were supposedly saying? & yeah, perform our scenes infront of everyone :( I believe we won though :)
4:30-6pm FREE TIME! The best time at camp haha! The first day us corinda kiddies + johnny went swimming, cept for Mi cus her little friend was visiting (I'm so lame) Got changed & everything and yeah, it was alright I guess, we also succeeded in pushing ms chen into the pool :) I got out earlier than the other losers though!
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 :)
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.
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.

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
