AHH! I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH♥♥♥!
it was a 7-day camp so i shall not bother you with the day-by-day activities. shall just roughly write how i feel about it.

me, craigven, yunian, estella, shao an, yuanyuan, ashleigh, yuhao and a whole bunch of other ppl met up at clementi macs at around 11. there was this weird girl dressed up in a qipao and tied her hair in two buns like chun-li. she was talking to this older, middle-aged guy who looked like he BU4 HUAI3 HAO3 YI4 we all thought she was getting conned or something. YUNIAN THE FUNNY TOOT, went outside and kept walking past the table where they were talking cos he kept trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.then later there was this other lady who came along so we suspected she was the matchmaker or something and the other girl was supposed to marry the weird old guy.

then later we went to NUS and i realised sheares hall was not in NUSHIGH it was at the university. and we all got lost. so we were like 40 minutes late. :X

it wasnt the first official day of the camp so we were allowed to have free time before we had to report at 6pm for dinner. so all the twoniners (plus zhanmao and some other guy) went to vivo to buy groceries. we ate macs and i ate the marshmallow-dip-inside-the-chocolate-fondue thing!

then we reported for dinner. thats when we all got intro-ed to each other. but everything was still very awkward..? like everyone didnt really talk and stuff. i was zi-highing and dancing to the music. :D later we played some ice-breaker games, murderer and the like. so after that, we all started to get to know each other and stuff. for the first 2 days, no one really talked alot and everything. the nh-rians were mostly trying to start conversations with the international students but it was more of like. ask one question, then they reply. unless you keep asking them about their life, it was kind of hard to have a good conversation.
then i got introduced to TRACY LAU KAPO!
SHE'S THE BEST LA! I LOVE HER SO MUCH ♥. we have alot in common! she LOVES ORANGE, JUST LIKE ME. and we always think the same way. (:
SHE CALLED ME JUST NOW, ALL THE WAY FROM HONGKONG. IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.
DRAGONBOATING! one of the highlights of the camp! there werent enough big boats so two of the groups had to split up between two small boats. they had a lucky draw. and group 2 and group 7 had to spilt up ): but it was okay. coach terrence came with us. me, kapo, liyan, wangge, yikai,cherngyew, bill and jonathan were GROUPTWO BOAT ONE. it was so fun! the whole time we were rowing to next to other boats and splashing water at them. during the mini-race, we came in FOURTH! but we were the fastest small boat :D and we beat other big boats too. therefore, i conclude that we TOTALLY ROCK.
BARBEQUE! so fun! they set up like barbeque pits. and traditional games for us to play. me KAPO and this ultra cute japanese girl called MIZUKI went around playing the games and stuff. everyone else was running around putting charcoal on other people's faces. HWELENG SNEAKILY ATTACKED ME WITH CHARCOAL and i had two black stripes on my face for the rest of the night.
CAMPFIRE + CLUBSYNERGY! I LOVE CAMPFIRES! THE BEST TIME TO BE HIGH AND EVERYTHING. there was one part, the hongkong people went to perform. and they sang PENG YOU. IT WAS SO SAD! then the girls in the front row all started crying. crying is INFECTIOUS! i was also sitting in the first row. the people sitting next to me were all crying in the end, i also cried. then later, there was MASSDANCE! and CHICKEN DANCE! and CLUB SYNERGY! it was so high! they blasted music and we all were dancing and cam-whoring! even the other nh-rians who went to help out were enthu-ed :D craigven was scared of being sweaty, so we all gave him A BIG SWEATY HUG :P
then later, coach jay announced that the yan chai school people had to leave early the next day. so we all stood in a circle and shook hands with them. then they played sad, sad music. like home by michael buble. halfway through the circle, all the yanchai girls were too sad. they all started cry and everyone went to hug them. and everyone started hugging each other too.
CLOSING CEREMONY! we only had 10 minutes to prepare our performance before the rehearsal. but in the end, on the actual performance, we did quite well :D everyone cried buckets and buckets.
its so cool la. like, we were all strangers who didnt know each other, who didnt know what to say to each other and stuff. but at the end of the camp, we all became like the best of friends. you could seriously tell on the first day, it was so quiet. but on the last, it was so full of noise and life and laughter.the reason why we all cried so much was because of all the happy times we had together and we did not want to leave each other so quickly! even junneng cried! ian choi was super garang, throughout the whole closing ceremony he didnt cry but at the last part he totally broke down and wailed.

SUMMERCAMP07 IS UNFORGETTABLE! ♥

AMANDA'S TEAR-JERKER SONGS.

the friendship song.

friends, you make me happy
bring sunshine to my life
a light of hope you always are
standing by me near and far
lending me your shoulders
when i need to cry
you're part of my life, friend
forever in my heart
you're part of my life, friend
forever in my heart

{ everyone totally started to cry like mad when we sang this while we were sending them off in the buses. }

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

Oh my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
Hate to wake you up to say goodbye
Oh the dawn is breaking and it's early morn the taxi's waiting he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
so many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every song I'll sing I'll sing for you
every place I'll go I'll think of you
When I come home I'll wear your weddin' ring
So kiss me and smile for me...
Now the time has come to leave you one more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Think about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone
About the times yiu won't hear me say
Kiss me and smile for me...I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe I hate to go

{ so sad! kept thinking of all the memories we shared.. made me start crying. after that i couldnt stop D: }

朋友一生一起走
那些日子不再有
一句话
一辈子
一生情
一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过
一声朋友你会懂
还有伤还有痛
还要走还有我

words cannot express how much i absolutely enjoyed myself, all the beautiful friendships i've formed, how much i love everyone at summer camp.
all i can say is

SUMMERCAMP IS THE BIGBIGBIG LOVE♥ !
