wowowow church camp is over! man oh man, FINALLY i manage to actually go as a partial camper for this camp, despite my busy schedule :D argh its so sickening when i was in JC and i couldnt go for the camp because i had to study....blah blah blah, parents complaining that the camp would sap out all the energy in me, plus you know how church camps are set on the june holidays and the JCs set their exams RIGHT AFTER the june hols. yeah. despicable. so that pretty conveniently translates to "no whatever camps" until your A levels are over aye. anyway anyway, coming back to camp yolo, here is my story how everything began. :)

So one typical weekday, my incek "warrant officer" asked me if i could go for the change-of-command parade and well since i had nothing on in camp during that period of time (which was last week), i agreed, along with my other signallers. This happened like slightly more than a month ago. The following week, my zone announced ET Camp YOLO!! and the dates clashed -_-"' DAMN. moreover, i already did a last minute pull-out of National Day Parade marching as my knee isnt getting any better. so doc says nope, dont even think of trying that out. so then i cant possibly just bailing out at the last minute too. moreover for the last month, i have been pretty busy doing lotsa work in camp. somehow, its a really busy period! ah speaking of which, i already have work to clear for tomorrow. what the. OKOKOK so apparently i cant go for camp YOLO, and I can only appear on the last night of the camp! okay, the camp was from thursday morning to saturday morning. which means that i can only come on friday night onwards, since the parade doesnt end till then. So they catered one entire week for the rehearsals.

Luckily, on wednesday, when the vetters came down to vet the parade, they said that it was good enough!! so.... they gave us an off on the following day, which was thursday, the first day of camp! :D at first, i was kinda apprehensive on going for the camp as i was worried that my knee injury would aggrevate, plus i still had to survive friday's parade stuffs. I'm glad i went for the first day alright! you know, life works in a really weird way. like from monday to wednesday, i had parade practice but i was like not tanned AT ALL. but on the first day of camp, as i played games at bishan park, BOOM totally tanned. I dont understandddd. but its good! always wanted to be tanned. i think it looks sooo cool :D first day was fun! we had lotsa games under the blistering hot sun!! :) praise God the weather was really too good man. whoever prayed for the weather did a too good job till it was totally sunny without clouds :P so i have been with DA GROOVE all these while, cracking my brains to think of cheers for the team, learning the yellow house cheers until the day before the camp started. oh yeah we had camp prelude, i cant remember if i blogged about it, but in short, it was a games session where teams could earn extra points. i fought for Da Groove, for Yellow house all the while! until when the camp officially started on thursday, in the morning when i woke up, thats when i realised i transfered over to Da Wild!! its kinda sad having to leave my team after putting in much effort for the preparations. i was like whattttt how could they do this?! :( but no choice, and to my horror, i was the oldest in my team. other than jessie, who is i think in poly, or was it secondary....ah anyway, the rest of my team were in PRIMARY SCHOOL. thats like take my age and -10. OMG. its a horror IMO. man was i really stretched, trying to talk to them and bonding together. changing teams just before camp is bad enough, to have young ones.....gosh. not to mention, there were 2 really naughty/uncooperative kids in my team! it was really really hard and i really found myself being stretched, trying to get them to cooperate and participate in the games. wow this seems pretty wordy! sorry guys.

so to cut the long story short, since i need to book in, (freaking hell) camp YOLO was really awesome!! I never once regretted not coming for the camp! even thursday was totally worth it alright~ it was thursday that i really felt being stretched :D the challenge was really hard but im glad i prevailed and now one of the super young and mischievous ones keep sticking close to me! :) and he says im like a big brother to him :D wah i feel really so thankful that he calls me that. I succeeded!! so after playing all the games for Camp YOLO, really going all out to enjoy myself and contribute, my knee got really busted. hoooo i tell ya after thursday games, my knee felt kinda weird already. bad sign. plus i had to survive through friday's parade stuffs, and then night when i went for games, helped here and there, woah now my knee is in a super bad condition i think! :( moreover the doc just told me strictly STRICTLY no forms of physical activities for 3 months, after he learnt that i actually tried running. darn mum.


here is the picture of my knee after camp YOLO. ah yeah thats my bathroom. see the yellow-ish bruise-ish looking injury around my knee? its kinda hard to see....but yeah its like a curve, along the contour of the side profile of the knee. hurts as hell man. feels as though like its internal bleeding or some sort! but definitely bruised. ack hope within these 2 weeks my knee can properly recuperate! better not try anything funny these days. i really really miss running :( its always like on the day itself when i run its alright, but next day, damn the pain comes in. even though my knee hurts really badly now, im glad i really gave my 100% for Camp YOLO despite being there for only a short period of time. i will post an update real shortly (within these few days i hope) about something that happened to me in camp YOLO! something good :) *hint: it isnt the holy laughter.


OKOK i got to book in now. Irritating :( anyway, here is the pic of the camp tee! looks really awesome right right right??? :D its like it can be worn out easily, and few will know its actually a camp shirt. even dad said it looks trendy. and he is one pain-in-the-ass fashionista alright.

LET'S EMERGE!! #etcampyolo
