I wonder if you can ever run out of love

one happy, exhausted person (:
it was a great band camp, despite being a day camp. probably one of the best in fact. okay maybe the first day wasn't too impressive. fast forward, captain's ball! :D I very smartly had loose shoes and fell within like, what, the first minute -.- but yay I got to play again. and we won whee! sec3s were really good though (: [oh and I found out who the "I'm gonna die" person is.] then sweaty and gross we tramped into the band room and stunk it up for the first of many times over the next 48hrs. and I decided to bear with it and not change cos special programme was apparently "physical. VERY physical." haha.
kay section interaction started off kinda phail, since apparently (like mutual sharing) we were supposed to "stick to the agenda, don't play games or take section photos", but well, we ended up doing the latter two anyway. many failed attempts and an awesome jumpshot later, we played like one/two rounds of truth-or-dare which saw joanne dancing around gloria the pole (hey I noticed the SL is always the pole! :p). and then a rather phail honey I love you. lesson of the day? WE HAVE WEIRD SEC1S. but well I comforted myself that everyone was weird in sec1 so hopefully they'll grow up fine. but seriously. they took like, 20min? to attempt a honey I love you, and one heavily punctuated with giggles too. and during lunch (or was it tea), their argument over the cuteness of portable toilets. like OKAYY.
direct taking was spent looking for mr mizar/ trying to call mr mizar/ finally meeting with mr mizar, but we also took perseus for a bit. hm there're still stuff to work on, but they've both improved so much (: haha batch bonding became like batch sleeping, with some of us listening to music etc. at least the sec1s (supposedly) spent it planning what to spend the next day's one doing! xD
war games were quite pointless haha (the first part), firstly cos the area was too small to really run, then plus the rules were such that everyone ended up just standing at the midline and staring at each other/ doing the can-can. and then people started trying to find loopholes, which made it not fun already if we actually did it that way haha. vivian was awesome though :D zoooom. then the mass one was at the field so bigger space, but in the end it became like just random running, getting caught, and getting saved. cos people didn't even know like where the castles actually were. but still quite fun la haha. oh I amazingly avoided/outran everyone who tried to catch me, then smashed headfirst into xinyi -____- haha after that we took band photos in the hot sun, a funny greenuncle helped us take. then, even more sweaty, we hit the band room again. (they had to air it out afterwards lol :p) and this time I REALLY had to change haha so yupp.
after dismissal we hung around the band room for a bit. camwhored, played with balloons (I want D:), and happily got one stuck at the aircon :O haha and whoo I found out that I'm not bad at limbo-ing , but it's probably just cos I'm short(er) haha. yupp then we all crashed far east for dinner, no surprises there. shared mogu mogu with julia, yepp they cut prices (still not exactly cheap though), and a full house bubble tea. then we headed off for sam's house. had an interesting bus ride talking with julia about juniors and the future of the band and all. and got totally confused and freaked out when walking in from the bus stop even after shunning the responsibility of remembering the way out. cheem! haha anw, wii-ed the rest of the night away after a nice shower, and gave up the idea of sleeping on her skydeck. aww! anw jess adn I decided to stop being anti-social and finally went down, to be greeted by like 10 mattresses in various positions across her living room and dining room. woah. yupp, with a mattress each and a nice blanket, I had a good sleep.
woke up the next day when the birds did, again when alarms rang, again when talia left. but got up only after my own alarm. had an awesome donut breakfast, thanks sam's dad! he also fetched us in batches to the bus stop so we needn't have worried about the way out. the bus took uber long, and drove uber slowly, and we ended up late, and thereby scolded afterwards :/ batch bonding was fun and productive (unlike the previous haha), we did the write a sentence, pass, draw it out, fold, pass thing. the end results were hilarious! xD there were a lot of recurring themes lol, like jolyn, apples, and clowns. and uh hairy things. eh heh and I kinda spent direct taking on fb. lunch was batch lunch, and I didn't share this time haha. and there's nothing wrong with pineapples! nor ginger but less people will agree with me on this one so nevermind.
then it was amazing yellow race (omg you know I only connected the yellow with the location clues paper colour quite long later ahaha) whee! I think games this camp were the best, at least different from the usual station games, although some groups cheated and skipped stations. haha the first game was crazy, they damn smart lah, make us run up run down run up run down. then cherades which was super easy lol, band member or conductor. the listen to band song and hum one was slightly screwed firstly when I can't hum (but yay they got all anyway) and secondly cos our station mistress got a call AND ANSWERED IT in the middle of our game lol. the quiz was like, BOOM, suddenly test academics somemore haha. unfortunately both dot and I had thrown away all P&C knowledge heh. the jigsaw and blurred pics one was fast. and the canteen pne we totally wrecked our newspapers haha! oh and that thing totally showed it was the luckiest day of my life or something. 1st question, composer of pioneers, I knew cos well, I like pioneers. 2nd question, fourth song of cadenza, I randomly started guessing with aquarium cos uh I remembered it for being the most boring, and woah, correct! then 3rd question, how many time changes are there in overture 1, I spouted the first number that came into my head, three, then OMG CORRECT :O haha our group totally owned first game, although we got held up at first location, but got caught up with afterwards. especially cos AHEM some people skipped stations. go paris! romantic, sophisticated, charming, and most of all francais :D shouting go paris go around the track for one round totally murdered my voice, which is why I can't sing/ sound funny now, cos I was totally forcing and ended up being like the volume of the rest of the group besides dot added together haha.
everyone was so amazingly fast that we were way short of the planned time for games lol, so they had a "surprise programme", section interaction! didn't go expecting much, but it ended up like THE MOST AWESOME PART OF CAMP :D crashed a new J block classroom for the aircon. and we played games like conquering which was quite mind-wracking haha. and my impromptu-thought-up-of I never hangman, which turned out quite amusing haha. we must do it more often d: then we had to move to an upper classroom cos greenmen had to clean, and had tea. shh! finished up the previous day's famous amos and digestives. and yupp the sec1s were weird and laughy again. milo-spurting alert! haha and many things were generally funny lah :D yay I think it's good that we're quite close to the sec3s and the sec3s are quite close to the sec2s and the sec2s are quite (in comparison. haha will get more one la!) close to the sec1s.
when we went back the entire band was there already :/ so we followed off for mutual sharing. ahh I was such a fail head, even with borrowing the agenda from peixin. the stuff were kinda hard to talk about, and delia was quite quiet haha. I was totally boring everyone with like my rgssb life story or something ohman. I don't know lah, it's really hard to talk about such a thing, to describe such a love in words, to paint out such a journey of four years in five minutes. it's really something you have to live yourself to understand. and I hope they do/will(: okay when I got back and stopped worrying about what to say and about droning, I sorta started emo-ing heh. farewell pang again. sighhh. visioning session, I wrote a totally kimdergarten-ish hope, but it was totally heartfelt, so yay :D letter was messy ohdear, but completely heartfelt too(:
then as usual dillydallied for a long while before finally leaving for section dinner heh. went far east instead of lido, I think it's become our new section dinner place already haha. fountain instead of escalator, for the aircon hahaha. initiated joanne into pastamania-eating! and shared meatball penne with gloria, and a big gulp too. mmmm. haha whee and we treated the section to an apple crumble pizza, and now 2nd june is officially slww day! (: nope we didn't embarrass ourselves by playing games like I never hangman in the middle of a public area :p but definitely in other ways like lying around the staircase for section photo heh. guilty as charged. and took various direct photos and photos with the sec3s (: haha I am still amused by the hugging thing. nevermind, farewell xD ohyes and lesson of this day: OUR SECTION IS LARGELY PAEDOPHILIC :O hahahaha. and quite a number of our section like blue and don't like pink. that was me in primary school! haha had quite interesting/fun/nice conversations for the rest of that night. found out that I'm not the only one who emos when I blogsurf! haha but omg sheryl you must stop being so emo. jumping-off-building thoughts are wayyy overboard. lol and joanne, who has no control over her eyebrows (and shoulders. offbeats! xD)! yupp, finally had to leave, and did, very very happy about slww and very very emo about farewell.
I think I've never felt like I love SLWW so much before! :D so that was my happy ending to band camp (: but that night, I had to actually pray that my heart would remain intact on farewell D:
-
and I'd like to thank You so much Lord, for my awesome co-facils (: and our awesome chemistry. all nokia fans, who have/have had 5610 music Xpress! may camp be an enriching experience for us all, as well as the sec3s of course, and may all go smoothly. daily mass, gogo!
-light my way
