The postponed Sports Day was on the 4th of March last week if i'm not mistaken.. exactly 1 week from today. The reason i did not update sooner was because I went to a camp the very next day after my Sports Day and my computer was fried by lightning. MY computer's still not back yet anyway. The computer guy took it away and has not returned it yet. I'm on my bro's laptop now.. Freaking funny keypads ...damn hard to type. Argh. So anyway, the 1 night camp was kinda fun, better than i had imagined it would be. On monday i was extremely tired but i had no choice but to go to school on that day eventhough i just returned from the camp the day before. ZZZ. Back to boring ol' school with the 1 week holiday the only thing i'm looking forward to.
Anyway, Sports Day. IF you had been reading my Class Blog, you would know that ..............YELLOW WON!!! WOOOT! WEEET! WAAAAT! Omg. Seriously, what better time can the house victory be achieved? It's my final year goddammit. And WE did it! Gosh. I remembered being overly excited and happy that day. But the feeling is fading as the days are passing. Damn. Whatever it is, Yellow still won. At least now we can prove many many ppl wrong. :) . For all those who doubted Yellow, hahaha, i duno what to tell u guys also. Oh well, we let the talking be done in the stadium, and what great talk that was.
Congrats to the 2 Junior fellas and Rong Xuan from Senior 3 for grabbing the Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year award. You guys make Yellow feel like champions. A special congratulations to Chung Wei Ling(Red) from Senior 3 too for grabbing the senior Sportswoman of the Year award. No one else deserved it more than you.
Ok what else. Cheerleading. Congrats to Yellow once again for winning! Hahahaha. March past..congrats blue.
Bah enough with the congratulations shit.
Btw, here are some photos i took. For more photos or for any special requests, pls msg me privately. Thx.

Ok.
The next day after the tiring Sports Day, I went to a camp which i was very reluctant to go at first. Freaking prefect's camp. Freaking Camps. What are they for anyway? To let ppl suffer and live in a very uncomfortable place? Bah. So anyway, departed to camp at about 7:50am. The whole bus was waiting for me as I was late(as usual). Said hello to my frens and took one quick look at Huey Shyan who was busy giggling away with my other frens. She had not experience a good day the day before. Blue house got 3rd overall and 3rd for cheerleading. Saw her smiling with her red face all rosy so i gave a small grin, left my big backpack on the seat and sat down.
Managed to take a short rest in the bus and arrived at Broga Campsite at about an hour plus from departure. The place was almost exactly the same compared to 2 years ago when i was there as a probate. Haha. Time flies. Now i'm part of the senior batch of prefects and I'll be sitting for my SPM at the end of the year. Time ...omg. Too fast. I can't take it. ARghhh! *pulls hair wildly*
Anyway, got there and we got our very first "seminar-like" kinda thing. Damn boring. Tought us about leadership skills, how to manage time, omg. Freaking boring. I wished i had taken photos anyway. But too risky to bring a camera to a campsite. So i did not take any bergaya shots or any photos at all.. sorry. After the boring talks, we got divided into 2 teams. And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!
My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.
The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.
My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.
After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.
What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)
Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.
Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)
So now, till next time..
Ciao!
