1st Scholar's Circle Camp 2006

Whoa! This Scholar's Circle Camp, 8th-9th June 2006, the 1st ever held in my school, is the BEST camp I've ever been to... not comparing with my 2004Youth Camp though. =)

I mean, it was just so fun, fun, relaxing, and more fun... and SLACK!!! I mean, to me personally, that is Good... please!!! U study so hard for 1 semester, for the mid-yr papers... it's just time to "CUT!"...take a break, and relax.

This camp was mainly organised by my 2 good friends, Jos and Theo... with our 2 teachers. They didn't really had much time to plan... and not many people turned up. All the Scholar's Circle boys, either couldn't make it or couldn't be contacted or just simply don't wanna come. Too bad for them... and good for us girls. =D YEA!

Well, we had a total of 15 students participating in this 2day1night camp.

We started with briefing and introduction as we did not really know some of the members. We were divided into 3 groups where we know and don't know some of the members. Then, off we go to "Amazing Race".

3Stations:
#1 - School Foyer:
The group is given 5 pieces of potato chips. They are to put 1 piece on their forehead, and move it into their mouth, WITHOUT using their hands... cannot help each other too. HILARIOUS! To pass, u need to succeed with at least 2. And my group did it! Yea! Hey, it's not easy lor.

#2 - School Canteen:
We have to play this game like: 5feet on the ground, 2 heads on the ground, 1ear on the ground, 2 nose on the ground, etc... at the same time... I think it would had been very funny if it was taken in a photo. Too bad I forgot about taking photos at that moment.

#3 - D&T Block Area:
2 person blindfolded, and grp members are to give directions for 1 to pick up pens and the other, rulers, both at the same time, with the game master giving wrong directions. Blindfolded people not supposed to touch the benches. Not easy XP

After that, we had like bonding session. We reintroduced ourselves, class, CCA, and our hobby. Next, we play the entanglement game where everyone is to stand in a circle, and grab the hands of people opposite them... then, we had to try to untangle ourselves without letting go of the hands... a great game to pay and break the ice =)
Well, one funny thing that happened was... we realised that 3 girls were holding hands and in a separate circle of their own while untangling ourselves. We had a laugh... Tired out, we sat in a circle and I taught them a game... both hands on the floor, with one hand over a hand of the person sitting on your right. Then, "tap, tap, double tap... tap, tap, tapping...". When the professionals were left, we started getting a little dizzy as the current goes one round and change direction. Whew, haha, fun game.

We broke up back into our groups for lunch... we r very WeiRD people... going all the way to Woodlands just to dine @ Pizza Hut... while others went to J8 and Orchard... 2 hours lunch break.

2pm - Yio Chu Kang Grassroot Club... BOWLING!!!... so so so fun! I quite took to bowling. We played 3 games in a row, most of us beginners... me, a 2nd time "bowler" Was very fun and enjoyable... we enjoyed ourselves lotz. I did not that bad =) ENjoYABle!!!!!

Back to school... bathing time, 45min... then watch the movie... "Pay It Forward" A very nice, touching, inspirational movie, a movie with a lesson to learn and take up. Instead of returning the debt of someone, u have to pay it forward to 3 other people, meaning u have to do something great for 3 people, something that would change their life.

DINNER! Packet food... self ordered and collected by the partnership J&T (Jos and Theo)... hahaha...lol...all thanks to them! Followed by free time of 45min... free & easy night stroll within the school compound... well, me and a group of friends just wandered in the school, taking night shots. And back to movie screening. 2nd movie - "Dead Poets Society"... Not Long After... ZZZzzzZZZZZzzzzz... ... ... ...

Yawwwnnn... *stretch!* MacDonald Breakfast...YUM! Then, 3 of us had to leave for a short while due to CCA meeting... the rest stayed in the air con rm and played "TABOO". I Like that Game! It was so so fun, and addictive... the whole day long, can catch a glimpse of people playing TABOO every now and then. As everyone had too good and heavy a breakfast, we decided to forgo lunch.

Not long later...
Time for... "FEAR FACTOR!"
Tee hee hee... ...

4 Stations:
#1 - Hot Stuff
A blindfolded member to pick 2 slice of bread for the group to consume... chilli sauce bread or WASABI bread!!! YUM! Haha... my station *rubbing hands in glee* ... 1st grp picked 2 wasabi pieces...yucks! The other 2 grps picked 1 wasabi and I chilli... I tried the wasabi bread... Let me tell u, unless u really like wasabi, don't ever try it =) I hated it! It was HORRIBLE!!! But edible.

#2 - Charade
Well, as I was not there, I don't really know what happened... seems like you play a game of charades... if u cant guess the word, u will have something done to u... I think the station master drew on them.

#3 - Spelling
Something to do with spelling out words and bursting of balloons. I heard that I of the sec2 girl actually took 5min bursting a balloon... using her nametag while others used ways like stepping on the balloons.

#4 - Sour Memory
What I called a remedy for wasabi... 10 cards... need to memorise them in 1 min n in order. Members cannot help each other, is individual memory. Forfeit: 1 cup freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice mixed with those bottle sweet lemon juice; 2 skittles (very sour); pieces of fresh lemon to finish.

Then... ...
HIGH TEA!!!!!!!!!
Yum! Yum! Good food... food from Prima Deli... cakes, chicken pies, fruit tarts, choice of 4-5 types of drinks, etc. Delicious and Yum!

Then, short debrief and prize presentation and group photo... pack/clean up, and dismiss. Oh and watching the movie have lesson also... [Pay It Forward] ~ How can we start the "pay it forward" system in our school??? [Dead Poets Society] ~ How can we create a rich school culture???

Hmmm... that is something to think about... ...
