C&C Day #1 - part 2
At 6pm it was time for dinner. usual dinner time is at 7, but somehow even at 6 i was hungry alr. Meals were held at the outdoor backyard.. under a shelter. My group was in charge of dinner duty, to serve food to the campers. A few ppl from my group was missing or busy with music pract and we had not enough manpower, so i had to engage help from the piranhas, and in turn we help in the cleaning up. i was serving fish cutlets, and there was plenty of garnishing of spring onions, chilli, onion layers and capsicum. So i gave some ppl lotsa garnish together with the fish. For some of the girls i just gave some spring onions on the pretext that veggies are healthy for them. If they still stayed on, id give them some fish. The meals were of good quality. fit for restaurant buffets. we all had a good fill of it. Some of the mealtimes were spent eating together with our groups, sometimes with random ppl.
After dinner, there was still a little time left before thefirst camp session started at 7pm. The speaker was Rev Dr Tan... and her name was never revealed. As a bible lecturer, she had a deep knowledge of the bible contents. But she treated all of us like lecture students and rattled on in lecture style. In the end, i cant remember anything taught during the session. Too boring to comprehend. Then some ppl asked her some questions.. like what would happen if Jesus wasnt awoken by the disciples during the storm. (of course nothing bad can happen. Probably the storm will go on but the boat wont sink cos Jesus is on it.) But after answering every question, she would go on to talk about topics somewhat related to the topics, so each qn took about 10mins to answer. Yawnzz...
After the session we had some time to go into our groups to discuss the stuffs that were talked about, before going back to the chapel. Then all the girls were evacuated and sent to the old chapel while the boys remained to play some mass games. First we played some rythm game, but everyone seems to keep blundering so we moved on to 7-up, where we gotta do a continuous headcount , but if ur number is a multiple of 7 or contains a 7, its replaced with a clap. Some wrote the taboo numbers down on a paper, but they still said them. We played countless number of rounds before getting a record of 90. And i had the honour of setting that record by saying '91'. Yeah... "The boy's '90' streak has been ended by John! (+4400 gold!)" Hahaha....
Next, we went outside for supper. It was raining heavily and cold wind blowing. It had been raining off-and-on for the whole day. Since the tap was outta order, i washed my hands in rainwater. Everyone was entitled to just 1 small pau for supper, and free flow of milo. My steaming hot milo was cooled down very quickly by the continuous cold wind.
Most of the people did not bathe during the 4.30 to 6 time slot so the bathroom was very crowded after supper. All the boys in the camp had to bathe is just 3 cubicles, so some may have to wait an hour before their turn comes. At about 11.30, i was one of the last persons to bathe. The water was cold, cubicle very small, no proper place to put clothes and water had to come from a hose attached to a sth like sprinkler.
The boys all slept in the auditorium. After some floor cleaning during the afternoon to remove all the shoe dirt, the floor was clean enough for sleeping on. I came in late, so everyone found their sleeping spots alr. I found a corner and slept there. The corner is the dustiest, but least people step there. There was just hard floor to sleep on, so i had to use my towel as a mat and sleeping bag as pillow. Halfway in the night i woke up cos the aircon was too cold. So i used the towel as blanket instead and bear with the hard floor. Since i was very tired, the hard floor and cold aircon did not stop me falling alseep soon after.
