the first day is like it has never went.. we were at the jetty, and everyone was so excited..
..
day1
justin teo came to see us off like how form teachers of other classes went to see theirs off.. we were uber high and kept taking snapshots not caring bout what we point the camera at.. it was kinda the first that i've seen the class so high and i was so happy..

i remember seeing Steven even before the whole thing.. he was wearing specs.. i was to Qi like "ayy do you think they are our..(instructors)?" and Qi didn't think so... The cool green guy led us to the MPH where all the other classes were and there was a briefing.. first impression was "they are SO cool", then the cheeky ones raised their hands when other instructors were being called upon.. i can't remember if it was Chu Ai.. haha..

yeap.. anw every1 squealed at the nice toilets..

my first impression of Steeeven was.. serious and wooden, but can really be a fun guy if he loosens up.. then he went on talking abt how Qi was chio-er then me.. haha only ChengHo ppl will understand tht bit i think..

Mr. Stevie Wonder (as Qi called him), went on and on about admin stuff, and i was day I/C =) the MPH was really comfortable and from then on became our temporary storeroom..
we got our food and he went on with the "you name it we have it" thing and Qi was so counting..
he kept messing up the foodstuffs on purpose, and later got his retribution when he met the ChengHo stores door.. hahah jk la..

it went sth like, we were supposed to bring our food over, so mr. stevie wonder here was as clueless as us in getting the door open.. we didnt know he went to in thru the back door, so over at the front Siyi was like banging against it.. then she went "kick it la!" ..then she one leg shoot over.. very on... and dont know it was because of her power or what, but anyway we saw the door open and there were loud sounds -- the outcry from an abused Steven and the smack of the door on his cheek..

hahah poor guy.. first day, within dunno how long of knowing us, then kena whack liao.. siyi was like so guiltridden.. i wanted to ask him if he was alrite as he kept on rubbing at his face but decided i didnt even knw him yet.. his face seemed red and everything but still in shape =P

the day dragged on, he got out of his specs (looked better), changed, we played games like the pass rope and the blindfolded move-in-this-order-without-talking one.. i remember we kept on singin` and singin.. he said i was violent.. hahah.. then there was belaying, with all the Steve Checks and stuff.. he had cool shades.. Siyi had cramps.. Qi and Nandini had to run off..

the cooking.. the tents.. the blahh..

and the day dragged on and i rmb we were kinda guilty of the lagging and stuff.. the reflection.. the talks.. the drill... the beach, the romantic jetty.. the sand-cleaning method.. the him-standing-behind-all-the-while-scaring-us-to-death.. the getting-us-to-sleep..

the stupid siyi who couldnt stop talking...
stevie wonder doing his rounds..
..no i dont know why i keep mentioning him..
the leican who slept next to me..
the feel of the tent..... i want to sleep in the tent again.. i miss the tent so much.. i miss the tent..

the tent..
...

day 2
rise and shine..

time for colour game (whereby the final colour was green and he made every1 knee me),
and the squirrel game (whereby squirrels had to do the two twists on their head and act cute; i was the last homeless squirrel whom he stole the trees from and had to do jumping jacks)

then there was commitment book..

then things was fast forwarded to the tent area.. we did the blindkitties/squirrels thing... then i led Qi around taking pics.. they were so cute.. hahaha.. then ltr they did revenge on us loh.. =___= it was harder cus u cudnt talk to ur partner.. and Steve made them drag us around over and under imaginary obstacles.... hahaha he went around posing with the blindfolded and pointing at their faces to take pics! XD he good! in the end still bully me.. =__= all take off blindfolds liao except me anden crowd around doing funny things to me and snapping pic as evidence.. -___- good loh had fun right you guys.. i want those photos man..

so with the TRUST between us we had to do the climbing in pairs thingie.. Qi helped me all the way up!! with her injury and all.. cmon man cheer fer Qi she is ze bomb ^^ ^^ ^^ whoooots! anw we still took veh long... =.= shudnt have been first.. we took up all their time.. mwahahah.. anw i think every1 did it and there was lotsa talk and encouragement.. =)) i miss those times..
