So I just came back from Cowes camp yesterday and after a rejuvenating nights sleep (unlike the past 3 days where we've stayed up ^^) this is definitely an experience worth remembering since....
COWES CAME WAS AWESOME!!!! ^^
Ah so much fun and good times....and contrary to belief we actually didn't drink that much milk :P (haha Mr. Yang's jokes still live on....) Oh did I mention that Lodge 5 - Annie, Pricilla H, Mickey, Fi, PriScilla (haha yeh it can get a bit confusing since Pricilla Wu was nxt door :P) Jiin and I - rocks! ^^
16/02/09
So early in the morn, despite having to wait an additional hour before the buses actually came, all 160ish of us (Bradman and Elliot) packed our "essentials" (which to some of us also included hairdryers, kettles - yes the guys bought a kettle to make 2 min noodles, straighteners, water pistols, mini mahjong etc....) under the bus and headed for Cowes.
Anyway skipping all the boring stuff where ppl (namely Izzy :P) already started to feast/share their stash of "Cowes shopping trip" food - aka raiding Safeway before hand for midnight snacks. After arriving at the Christian Youth Camp and having a brief lecture that no1 was really listening to as we were too excited that the place had a pool, giant swing, flying fox, low ropes course, archery AND was close 2 the beach, we did the usual scramble for luggage and dragging it to our various cabins (guys) /lodges (girls). Lodge 5 was pretty good but whoever got lodge 8 was LUCKY AS! (you know who u r....) seriously it was like a flat in there complete with TV, couch and a table that was mahjong worthy :P But hey can't win everything....
Not long after semi unpacking, a group of us got to head down to the beach during rec time :) Accompanied by Mr. Imam, Bramble and Penso, everyone literally ran for the shimmering blue waters (both bcoz it was hot and the sand was seriously burning our feet -.-") which were surprisingly rocky under the water and random ticklish sea weed.... Water fights were a must of course considering it was a mild day with little wind/waves, but all the better for playing ball n dunking and splashing each other with water whilst blinding each other with the sheer saltiness. Camera hoaring was a constant activity throughout the entire camp as everyone (especially damn Bramble and his pro camera taking pics every few moments) as our inner posers were revealed.
Though Bramble DID get a couple good pics, especially of our (the Kev's, DT, me, Annie, Fi, Mickey, Shu-Jiunn, Jiin etc.... and of course poor Eric :P) masterpiece of “Eric the Mermaid” ^^ LOL shall post photo evidence when I find that pic.... But some ppl buried Eric under a massive load of sand and a couple of us helped "shape" his figure/tail :P oh, and of course we can't forget the fake boobs which Emz M helpfully suggested that we should make them "MUCH BIGGER" and so dumped another crap load on :P LOL And guess who came along with the camera.... Yep Bramble was def impressed by our artistic talents, and so we posed with Eric straining his neck to see the camera ^^ Later we continued to just pile on wet sand for the hell of it :P
Oh btw, just a lil tip: When attempting to throw some1 in the water, the sea moves, so actually get CLOSE ENOUGH to the water BEFORE letting go :P
LOL coz this was exactly what happened as the guys tried to wrestle/carry the very sandy Eric into the water, but when they got to the water and dropped/threw him in, the waves withdrew and he just landed in a heap on the wet hard sand! LOL The rest of the time spent at the beach included (more) photos, a lil bit of singing and Frisbee-ness :)
The rest of the day consisted of various lectures (-.-" where some were actually OK, while others were snore worthy and many had to b waken up by Imam or Brambles flash of the camera) dinner, which wasn't actually that bad compared to certain Nayook meals....
btw warning, the following drink should not be attempted unless you're willing to go on a high like Pricilla for the nxt....say....6 hrs?: sugar/coffee/tea/cappuccino/milk/more sugar mixture. Haha yes this now exists and I'm warning you ppl!
oh we also had a role play thing where although our group sucked ^^", we discovered plenty of acts to keep us entertained since A LOT of ppl can do awesome Singaporean/fobby/Indy accents that are hilarious (e.g. Annie pretending 2 b Mr. Lam or Andrea being a typical azn parent), Jesse can swim froggy style in the "VCE pool" *cringes at lame analogy* lol and Mrs. Tsklikisrouwoekrjs (no idea how to spell her name) now has a song - go Kiera's group! ^^ But alas only one group could win, and ironically we all knew who it was....Pricilla's group! Or better known as Alex's debut in his acting careers :P haha nah jks though their play was really good and full of enthusiasm :)
Lol and proof that we've matured/most turning 18 actually means something, our lights out time is now @ 12 ^^ though few actually slept @ this time :P
for those of you too lazy/have a habit of skimming, I've taken the liberty of splitting the post :P haha enjoy :P
