O2 camp starts!
OG 9 ogls- zhengwei, aaron, angeline, crystal, daria, chenchen, me

Camp day 1
As usual, we have to reach school by 6.20am.
We did some exercises and cheers before going down to welcome the campers.
Again, it was fun welcoming them and doing those cheers!
We took attendance again and went down to the parade square for flag raising.

We went back to the hall and kept the spirit high by cheering our lungs out!!!
Some campers started becoming high and cheered with us too!
The feeling is great!
Imagine someone that u took care of had started 'reciprocated' !!!
=)

Yeah! And it was the subject registration time!
I took amelia(my og) around to ask teachers about the combinations.
I also learnt a lot from it.
I asked about physics and chemistry.
Both are tough subjects.

After that, we had mass dance again!!!
We get into our partners and danced.
Imagine everyone in the hall dancing the same move at the same place at the same time!!!
It will be a fine view when you looked from above!!!

After mass dance, it was water parade!
Lim zui ho, lim zui ho, lim zui lim zui jin jia ho, lim zui lim zui pa buey tok!!!

Then it was lunch time!
We went to our family spots( behind lt2 and lt3 ) and settled down.
The food attachs had already prepared the food.
We ( zhengwei, aaron, daria, chenchen and me ) bought the food to the campers.
The food was much better than O1.
The potions were bigger and the side dishes were good.
We did the food cheer.
Tick tock tick tock we must eat, one day 3 meals cannot miss, eat already very fit, 1, 2, 3, let's eat!
We had some OG time together!
Chiam Lim went to join our OG because they said that this OG had very different OGLs.
He said chenchen and i were introverts...
Everyone had different personalities.
It was very different from other OG whereby their OGLs were enthusiastic!!!
Thus, quite a lot of people were worried that OG 9 will be very quiet.

During the wet games at the field, only zhengwei, chenchen, daria and i played with og9.
Aaron do not have enough clothings, crystal and angeline were games attachs.
I had lots of fun with them!
I throwed water bombs at them and some of them revenged.
I was outnumbered but it was okay.
Fun is all that matters.
Clement, Jinghao, Chinghiong, Zi Cong and some others throwed water bombs at me and i had fun throwing back at them.
The motive of throwing at them was to get them moving and play to their fullest!
We cheered very loud during each station.
The spirit was very different from admin day.

Wash-up was after the games.
We had some OG time and played games.
We played the milk game and 'give me tempo, ready go'!
Then it was dinner.
We brought the food to them and said the food cheer again.

Song-singing was next.
We sang different songs such as, kangkong song, frog song, country road, tonight, i remember, unbreakable...
The spirit was very very high!!
Everyone was singing their lungs out!!
It was really fun and exciting!!

Then it was night games.
We had to find the Alchemist.
We had to find the treasure that will lead us to umlimited supply of gold.
It was tiring running around the school late at night.
But it was fun when everyone was running for the same motive.
And we were the WINNER!!!
OG9 found the treasure and won!
YEAH!!!

Then it was supper!!!
Supper was bread.
I brought amelia to the LN as she could not stay overnight.
When i came back to the family spot, most of them went to wash-up and only some of the ogls were left there.
We drank milo and ate lots of bread.
After the campers went to sleep, we went for our debrief.
Then, we went for our wash-up.
We initially wanted to do the og gift that day but we were too tired and slept.

Camp Day 2
We had to wake up at around 5am to wash-up and meet at the concourse for attendance taking at 5.30am.
We did some cheers and went up to the hall at 6am to wake the campers up.
We did a lot of different cheers and the campers were stunned.
LOL! It was human reaction. Understandable.
Imagine someone cheered while you were still in your dreamland!!!
You will surely wake up.

We had morning Physical training next.
All PT were tough, including this.
We waited for the morning assembly to start and did some cheers too.
Next, it was breakfast and OG time.
We played the milk game again.
It was fun!!! Some were doing large actions!!!

And it was mass dance!
I found that i could remember the steps quite well with the new partner.
And we danced like crazy people.
But it was really really fun!!!

Telematch was next.
It was not as fun as the games on camp day 1 but was also good.
It requires teamwork and... ...perhaps telepathy?

Lunch time!!!
We did not change into dry clothes as after lunch it was kinetic warfare!!!
During lunch time, we played the milk game and other games.

Yeah(x4)!!!
Kinetic warfare was really exciting!
Everyone got drenched to their feet.
We compete with other OGs.
There was a small 'swimming' pool too!
Everyone got into the pool and cheered and played!!!
Melvin poured the whole bottle of shampoo on my hair and woah!
My hair became nice-smelling!
I went to the hose and washed my hair. Some others also used water bombs to wash my hair!
Thanks for that!
Thanks to melvin!
HAHA!

Then all of us went for wash-up.
We had family time together too.
We learnt new games like 'hai tai hai tai'...
We had dinner and did the food cheer once again.
'we ate yesterday, we ate the day before, and we gonna eat today, like we never did before, as we are eating, as happy as we can be, cos we are happy family, JJ! '

After dinner, we went to the grand stand to lift up our spirits for JJ NIGHT!!!
YEAH!
At around 7pm, we went to the hall!!!

We welcomed the principal, teachers and the emcees for that day.
We did many many cheers shouted loudly!!!
The atmosphere was really good!
We did chicken dance, mass dance and song-singing.
After those games, we gathered in our OG in a circle.
We, the ogls, began to talk about the 3D2N, the times we had together and the fun everyone experienced together...
CaiHua came back and joined us.
Tears poured down as it was the last night together as a OG.
Perhaps, there will be another night like this next time but the people around you, the people there will be different. The atmosphere will be different.
The mood was there.
The feelings were there.
Everything was in place.
And we sang our batch song - unbreakable - together as a OG.

Supper was next.
We played games once again and more bonds were formed between us.
After that, we went for wash-up and brought our bags back to the hall.
After lights out for the campers, the ogls got debrief.
We did the og gift after the debrief.
We wrote our feelings and thoughts on the paper and put it into the test-tube.
After that, crystal re-write the contact list.
While waiting, i slept.
I am not sure how long i slept because they were trying to wake me up as i had to write my contact on the contact list.
Quite embarassing...

We went to sleep after that - 3am -.
=.=

Camp Day 3
We got up at 5.30pm for wash-up and went for briefing and attendance taking at 6am.
At6.30am, we went to the hall to wake the campers up but most of them have already woken.
We did not do much cheers as camp day 2.
We just lifted the spirits a little.

Breakfast was next.
We had milo and fried rice.
It was our last meal together as a OG.
We played the milk game, 'give me tempo, ready go' and 'hai tai hai tai' .
After this, we did area-cleaning.
Everyone played their part in the family.
YEAH, this shows the bonds in them, i suppose.

E-web was next.
I started the e-web.
I passed the string to melvin and melvin passed the string to chiam lim and this goes on till the string returns to me.
Although the mood was not really there, everyone knows the motive of the game and tried to keep the mood there.
Our feelings were stimulated.
Chiam Lim rounded up the game.
I divided the string into 30 equal parts with help of angeline.
Then, we continued with the next item.
We draw our hands on the paper and passed around to allow others to write their thoughts and feelings on the paper.

And it was the last item for today.
Stimulated our feelings, as we listened to stories and speeches.
Yes, it was indeed touching.
Really touching.

And we did survey and we went to our family spots.
We gave the orientation package, our gift and the contact list to them.
After that, we rushed back to the hall for debrief.
The debrief was short and sweet.
And this spells the end of the camp.

Reflections
Before the camp, everyone were not talking to each other and they were stoning.
During the camp, bonds were made and feelings were developed.
Everyone get to know each other better and help each other out.
This is the give-and-take policy, where everyone gains.
After the camp, we became friends and peers.
Our bonds were strong as our friends helped us to get into the culture of the school within just 3 days.
Our friendship is lasting.
The feelings were there.
And we were always there for our friends.

And O2 camp is over!

I painted my dreams at 11:58 PM
