As the title says.
First came another brain-numbing session of Bio Olympiad where the lecturer expounded on animal structure. I had to leave halfway because of the camp, changed into PE attire and hurried down to the meeting place where my female classmates were cam-whoring, waited for the bus, and proceeded to play card games on the bus.
I found out a few days before the camp that we weren't going to Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) but instead to some National Police Cadet Corps(NPCC) campsite on the other side of Pulau Ubin. Hence, expected kayaking and high-elements course were not realised and i was sorely disappointed for the camp. In the end, all we did was to skive around, the guys talking about obscene stuff and the girls gossiping throughout the night after everyone had an experience going through a tunnel somewhere and attempting the boulder-climbing artificial wall which formed part of the tunnel. Boulder climbing is different from rock climbing in the sense that the former requires one to move sideways but the latter requires one to move upwards in general. There were stories shared by my classmates on encounters with the supernatural and the person-in-charge of my group told us anecdotes about places he visited or heard about, including the old French embassy in Singapore. I won't explain it because it gives me an uneasy feeling and i'd rather try not offending the things in question. I am quite unique because i am a free thinker who believes in everything. It doesn't make sense,and yet vaguely you feel that it makes sense deep in some hidden corner of your mind.
The next morning was basically my class and i trying out the low-elements course in the campsite. Obviously, it wasn't thrilling at all, and the mosquitoes didn't help one bit. I get the idea that the purpose of our visit was simply to feed those insects which came in swarms and invaded every single bit of land my class ventured onto. After clearing the tents erected the previous day, it was more basking around in the comfort of the shade of the corridors and playing Monopoly Deal and Bridge (I finally learnt them on the first day of the camp) before walking back to the jetty, eating lunch and taking the bum-boat back to the mainland, yada yada yada, and reaching school, and making my way home.
And so as usual, the sudden realisation that i have a very, very big pile of untouched, unfinished homework hits me, as though being flung far away by a truck travelling at high speed. It is time to force myself to keep awake again. Sigh.
