Came back from class camp a few days ago, and was too tired these few days to make a post. In essence, class camp was fun, but abit too short and abit too easy.
The weather was OMFGULTRAPWNAGEHOT. Especially during canoeing and rope course, the sun was there to totally pwn your face and body. I am now a black man, but after shedding my outer covering, I will be back to normal Ivan soon. Thank you so much Mr. Sun for the short-lived happiness as a blacker person :(
Canoeing was really quite mad. At the start, I was sitting at the back, and it was damn slack at the back because you can't really influence anything that the boats can do. And so, I went to the front.
Bad move.
My deltoids were dying after that, but it was more fun in front because I felt I could contribute more in front haha. With Eugene (OWNING) and Xue Qian (TANK), we directed the movement of our class. Damn fun :)
The food was really quite imba. Being very proud of my own cooking skill, I intended to help out in cooking, but when I went there, I saw one person preparing:
Sabrina - newly crowned Domestic Goddess™
And so, it was simply a case of GGXX take one step back and please do not "ban men nong fu" or else I will make a fool of myself.
And yea, as expected the food tasted great. So great that I was sitting in a strategic position in front of the main pot, next to the fishballs, holding a pair of chopsticks and the ladle which was used for cooking. Let's just say that I ate quite alot, and leave it at that :/
Night time, we looked at stars, and as compared to the Singaporean sky, there was really a lot of them. Being the serious and sensitive person I was, I just took some time to look at them and admire their beauty. Really beautiful, and on hindsight I should have taken a picture. Dammit.
When we wanted to sleep, Hongxiu, Zhefei and I decided that the road where everyone was sleeping on sucked for sleeping, and moved to a fantastic location:
The toilet.
Despite what everyone would say about "OMG THE TOILET?! WONT IT STINK?!" When Nic Yun came in to shit -.- it did, but after that everything was super nice. We had three benches there, just nice for 3 people to fully extend their legs and sleep. Have fan, the toilet is right next to you, have comfortable bench, no insects, what else can you ask for? In fact, it was so nice that Chengwen from the other class just came in in the middle of the night and slept on the floor. Hongxiu and I were like "WTF?" but continued sleeping. All the other people in our class had stiff necks and were feeling very tired the next day due to the lack of sleep, but not us :) Hahaha feel so smart XD
Rope course the next day was really quite cool. Some parts were rather challenging, some parts were really very easy. Once again, my face got totally pwned by the sun, and thanks to that my nose is peeling now. Thanks to momo for climbing both the courses with me, even though he was visibly quite tired. Also thanks to the belayers Eugene and Abikang. Abikang is surprisingly good at belaying lol, could really feel the grip and the pull of her belaying. On one hand, it's good because it's safe and it helps in the climbing, but on the other hand, it hurts in some areas. Alot. -.-
Went for Free Cone Day together with the Pasir Ris clique + Yingying + momo after that, sorry to ODAC24 for pangseh-ing you all, but I just wanted to leave these two days for my class entirely. Queued half an hour for a cone, but it was enough because I could feel my throat screaming in agony after that. Koped Shihua's dinner of bamboo rice, which Nick Yun recommended very strongly with some rather sick descriptions. Spammed myself with herbal tea which Sabrina treated me and Nick to, and my throat felt alot better lol.
Went home after that exhausted from two days of pure energy expenditure, but still can't help feeling that it should have been longer. If only there was another class camp...
ivan fed the world.
