Unbreakable term break

3 weeks of holidays and mid sem test are finally over! It felt as if I didn't have any holidays lah eesh

1st week - Sat-Tues : bring parents around town area, Wed-Fri : Camp, Sat-Sun : sleep+shopping for camp.
Went pekchek bringing my parents around, listening to my dad converting SGD to Ringgit, complaining how expensive Sg food are aaaaall the time, and getting nagged by mom for looking like a walking corpse aaaaaaaaaaall the time.

Camp was fun! The nightwalk was one of the most exciting ones I had but damn tiring lah. They actually made us stay awake until 5am for the nightwalk -_- I was damn tired during those 3 days, I had to go for community service that I left the camp halfway through then rushed back to camp when I was done. Luckily mom went back Penang else she is SOOO gonna nag till I drown!

2nd week - Mon-Thurs : SP Rovers basic torture training camp, Fri-Sun : back to Penang weeeeeeeeee
BTC was.. heh... like hell. Got tortured like hell and had fun like hell, hah! I didn't brush my teeth for 3 days straight during the camp and pimples popped up like nobody's business.

1st day
I was late coz apparently the big sotong I was waiting for, got locked in his own house and he couldn't get out. Then both of us were late together. Immediately after reporting, we had inspection. We were supposed to take everything out. Everything as in, EVERYTHING. No battery allowed inside the torch and nothing inside plastic bags. I got 51 mistakes in total - toiletries from another pouch, undergarments (10+ already for these), shoes out of shoe bag, batteries from torch, etc. etc. etc. Like oh my gawd laaaa. The 11 of us got 300+ mistakes summed up together meaning we had to do like, 300x3 = 900punishments. Worst of all, the egg that I protected by scotchtaping the whole egg had to be unwrapped. I still thought my egg was protected, perfectly! Mana tau I had to unwrap the whole thing and it was so freaking hard to unwrap the papers without a pair of scissors!


Tekan tekan tekan... knock it down now! Push up position!

For the whole day, it was basically tekaning, tekaning and more tekaning. All the punishments had to be cleared within that day. Of course they gave us chance to deduct the punishments, so be it. I lost count how many jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, Buddha's clap, hand crunches we all did in one day. But that was it lah, not that tired *yet*.

And again at night... nightwalks! The instructors blindfolded us and brought us all around. But after a while, I was taken away from the rest, alone. They guided me to somewhere really dark and quiet and told me to walk into the woods (or just.. trails?) all ALONE. I was like so shocked lah! It was near midnight d and according to the instructors, I was supposed to walk until I found my own "sleeping place" in the woods. Fiiine, I just walked and walked and found out... the moon was quite bright! Ahahahahaha!

Found my "sleeping place", sat there for a while thinking that I was alone, and I heard people talking =.= Then I knew something was not riiiight. The only thing that was on the "sleeping place" was a groundsheet and that was it. Oh yea and the 3 lightsticks which entertained me for the first 5 minutes X3 Eventually 2 instructors, Andy and Cheng came up to me and told me that that was not my real "sleeping place". They were just testing our confidence and courage. And thus ended the *adventure*.

2nd day
We woke up late coz watches were not allowed and we were only given ONE watch for all 3 patrols. Kena tekan again for waking up late. The food IC gave us pancake syrup for breakfast, but the syrup was too diluted that noone managed to make pancakes with the syrup. Before we started our breakfast, the food IC hinted us to *finish all the food*. Of course we didn't coz the frying pan chao ta after several failed attempts to cook the pancake. And when the food IC said *finish all the food*, he meant *finish all the food in whatever way you can*, which also meant *drink the pancake syrup*. Yep yep, I drank quite a lot. I found it niiiice! XD Or maybe I was too hungry lah, I was hungry all the time throughout the camp =.=

The best part during the camp was playing with mud! I think the seniors and alumnis only remembered me losing control when we were blindfolded and sitting in the mud. I got really really hyper and started throwing mud at everyone who helped me to do "spa" XD

With the mud *still* on, we had to.. COOK! Yep, our dinner! With no proper lighting, no proper equipments, we came up with really good food! Fried rice, fried beehoon and noodles. The fried beehoon and noodles were named Rainbow (?) coz there were scrambled eggs (I fried one okay! Miraculous!), veggie, meat, sausages, sand, live ants, dead ants, bugs, insects, and god knows what's in there.

Again, we didn't sleep for one whole night coz there was a *firedrill*. Our tent collapsed coz of the "fire". I was dreaming and scratching my leg then all of a sudden I felt the canvas collapsing on me =.= And the next second, our tent was... gone. =.=

3rd day
Toughest day of all. S.H.I.T. was like.. shit. A meaningful shit, hahaha! The shit that made me so emo and the shit that got me all the bruises. X3

First thing we did was to stay in push up position for 5 minutes... on this.



Then carried the equipments...





And putting down everything in 10 secs and be in push up position. Then pick up everything in 10 secs again and started running with the equipments. Run, run, run then put down everything again coz somehow we left our friends behind. Push ups again, pick up, run. Then again, put down everything coz of the same reason, Push ups, pick up, run. Again. Again. Again.






Halfway kena tortured during S.H.I.T (Super High Intensive Training) We were doing 100+ squattings together after carrying tonnes of equipments and doing zillions of push ups. Everyone just got so emo that all of us hugged and cried together.


Instructors and trainees!


A toast after S.H.I.T.!



Blacktip! Stanley, Nav, me and Galvin

After the BTC aka Basic Training Camp aka Basic Torture Camp aka Bonding Through Challenges aka Bonding Through Crap, we all got our scarves and woggles! Weeeeeeeeeeeee



3rd week - Mon-Thurs : crazy food hunt+gathering+K-sessions in Penang X3, Fri-Sun : mug mug mug

Lost 1kg during BTC and I'm very very sure that I gained back that 1kg, or even more after I went back Penang. Omg I just couldn't stop eating. Char Kuey Tiau every single day, today Gurney Drive, tomorrow Lorong Selamat omg -_-

But very disappointing laaaa, never got the time to eat Lok Lok near Padang. The highest record for me was spending RM25+ for 3 people on eating skewers alone. Each skewer costs less than RM1, so we had around 10-20 skewers each?

And there goes my 3 weeks of so called *term break*.
