My shoulder blades, arms and legs are aching.
but it was all worth it.
one word: OGL CAMP was the bomb.

came back yesterday. we were released at 7. after that, had dinner with Yanti and Az at Cavana.
the camp was a one night two day thing.
First day
had to report in hall by 8am. we were seated according to our grps.
checked which bunks we were allocated to.
Triton 6: Me, Fadh, Muhaina, Donavan, Hin Kai, Li Hui and Colin.
All 4 girls in the grp got the same bunk, E3-3.
the camp started off with Bora trying to give us a Chem lecture.
he's so funny. Rachel had to cut in and bring him to his senses. Camp and not Chem.
He briefed us on what's gg to happen later on.
main event: OSC!
all grps were grouped according to their numbers. Atlas 6, Callisto 6, Miranda 6, Phobos 6 and Triton 6 were in same team. during activities, we had to stick as one.
bags and belongings were placed in Av room.
SCs and House comm members were allocated to each grp.
Grp 6 i/cs were Louise, Hakim, Miao Ying and Joanna.
first were the icebreaker games. all grps sat in a big circle.
played Wacko. I was Syaz1 and Syazana was Syaz2.
I loved seeing the confused expressions written on the rest of the otr OGLs faces when they played the game.
each grp had cheers of their own which were loud and catchy. it was amazing how they cld come up with those cheers in such a short time.
maybe they had better i/cs. like Jeremy (Grp 5) or Qahhar. my grp was a tad too soft, when compared to the rest. cheers were not that nice either.
Grp 1 was simply barbaric, we call em Mensville bcos guys rule the grp. crazy dance they did.
main event/s for first day were OSC and Campfire.
we had lunch before OSC. food was miserable. rice was too dry.
we had to make do with it as it was our only source of energy. got to know the members of Triton 6 a lil better.
Don's Mr Horny who claimed otrwise and said I was horny. He's easy to get along, always making us laugh. Colin's this really cool and reserved guy, who speaks only when spoken too. Hin kai, ah well.. he's a magician who disappears and appears whenever he feels like to.
Muhaina comes across as a sporty and cool girl. has potential to become a leader.
the chinese girl's ok. a little too edgy at times. during OSC.
discussed abt what the grp's gg to do during campfire.
had a few explorer encounters during OSC briefing.
like the thumbs up sign he gave me when I answered questions eagerly. and when he asked the grps to take dwn what's on screen. since I was in frnt, he looked at me occasionally.
hahahhahaha. gosh u're pathetic Syaz.
during OSC, I wld say we didn't get a good headstart. we were pretty disorganised.
grp was not together. time wasted when some of us went off first, without discussing with the rest.
higlight: one of the stations at Wet zone, two guys actually stripped.
I got waterbombed, straight at the stomach when we were at Yanti's station. the guy who threw was an idiot.
we guessed the suspect correctly. it was Mr Hon aka Chris Lee.
teachers were convincing actors. (:
during results, we came in first! surprise there!
dinner was much better than lunch. Mu rushed us, and we proceeded to the hall.
campfire was totally ran by OGLs. each grp was supposed to do smth for 5 mins, which involved the rest of the grps.
most grps did cheering/singing/dancing. grp 1 was nuts, again . Shiva, this Indian dude totally freaked me out with his attempt to catwalk like a transvestite.
Grp 5 played a game. which did not work out so well, bcos of certain bitches who refused to help but instead, stood at one end of the hall, looking like total fools. Az was the emcee! whoots! she was just being herself, all high and trying to spread the enthusiasm. but I guessed some of her actions that night, including the sudden scream into the mic, were clearly misunderstood.
spare the girl, will u?
my grp also carried out a game, Scavenger hunt. it was kind of messy.
campfire that night was messy and rowdy, with everyone going out of control. no one really paid attention to the grp, up on stage. each grp was too carried away, doing their own cheers. and at times when we did the sch cheer, everyone just went on and on even though we were supposed to stop.
I really pity Bora bcos he tried so hard to get our attention and to control the crowd.
I wld say most grps went past the time limit. the whole thing ended at abt 10+. after which, we gathered at the atrium for the next set of instructions.
then, there was a house mtg at each of the LT. debriefing by the house capt and nominations for OHLs.
the ones nominated or sabo-ed by Triton: Jeremy, Dominique! Ikhwan, Wong ying, Steph, Val.
when Jeremy asked for any more ppl who were interested, Wei ru and her gang and some of the 416 ppl actually chanted my name.
my horror! I politely rejected.
a lot of dirty jokes among the ppl in front. they teased Jeremy abt how dark he was.
racist!
the best part or so I thought was the sharing of ghost stories. Jeremy was the main storyteller. (:
he shared with us the haunted places in MJ, some of his past encounters with the supernatural. some of them really spooked me out. gave me goosebumps. thank god for Ysabel and Fadh at both my sides.
Hakim, a SC can see things.
and so it went on till 12pm. lights had been turned off. after that, it was nightwalk. found out we had to go in pairs and not in grps. panic!
Triton 5&6 got the hall. there was a story behind it. suicide case. Jeremy was stil telling stories while we were waiting for our turns.
I almost backed out bcos I could not take it. heard screams.
however, Donovan and I went into the dark hall together. held hands tightly. I though I was braver than him, a guy!
had to go through the backstage, just behind the projector. the task was to open 3 cubicle doors in the toilet backstage.
Don backed out the very last minute. so I went in with Hakim, the SC.
earlier on, I'd mistaken him for a figure bcos he was alreadysitting infrnt of the toilet, without any movement.
wahhhh I cld hv died frm shock.
he gave me courage inside the toilet. I passed the test!
slept at 2+

2nd day
had physical workout at 7am. explorer was doing it too, very very near me.
breakfast after that.
MMM! MMM i/cs including me left earlier to set up our game stations at the various zones.
Jodie and I took a long time to set up the games at Youth park so when we got our first grp, we were completely unprepared.
screwed that up. made a fool of myself infrnt of the two j2s who were there. we got grp 7, super rowdy and enthusiastic.
they got on my nerves.
and that was our only grp. so throughout the MMM, we sat there talking abt everything. Jodie's simply amazing. had so much in common. talked a lot, abt almost everything. (:
lunch was at LJ's, cine where we met more new ppl like Valerie and Yvonne.
Val's sucha chatterbox. bought the $20.80 meal and shared among 4 ppl. quite worth the deal. we had fun bullying a malaysian scholar, he was the only guy at our table.
great ppl and food. totally made my day.
the whole thing ended at 3+. met up with ppl frm my zone at Somerset mrt station. we walked one whole big round just to get to the station, thanks to Val.
the journey back to Mj was just wacky and hilarious.
and then debriefing and mass dance and results and OHL results.
the 3 finalists for OHL were DOM, IKHWAN AND WY. they had to rally yet again.
announcement of OHL
Atlas: Marcus
Callisto: Firdaus
Miranda: Khai
Phobos: Haider
Triton: Ikhwan
my hopes were raised when Jeremy said
this time round, we had chosen a she. and the OHL for Triton is she-Ikhwan
u could not imagine how disappointed I was. I was all the way for Dom
BOO.
4 out of 5 are Malays. hm.
mass dance: couple dance! Mu was my partner.
fun! :D

this was memorable.
