Day 2, 21 February 2009

Campers who decided to sleep in because they were exhausted from the previous night's activities {*wiggles eyebrows*} were greeted with this lovely baybeh.

Hee. As warned. :)

Then everyone gathered at the assembly ground for the first activity of the day; Morning Exercise!

Awesome stuff, really.

It was lead by the camp Treasurer, Yi Jean!

-

After working up an apetite, breakfast was served.

Ample of time was given after breakfast for the campers to wash up and get themselves propped up for the Opening Ceremony.

After all the formalities, everyone changed back to tees and tracks and started back-wooding.

The traditional backwoods menu - fried rice. :D

Starting of the fire was demonstrated by the men of the Camp Committee.

Squads began to light their own fires soon after.

Smoke was everywhere.

After that tasty meal, QMs had to clean up while campers had some free time before the next activity.

Isn't the circle just so perfect? ;D

-

After that, campers were briefed on the Obstacle Race.

There were 8 stations altogether.

#1 Walking on Ropes

Campers were required to complete their "journey" from one end of the rope to the other.

# 2 The Chair and Cup Race

Campers had to transport the water from point A to B by using two chairs and two man power.
Surely this is an opportunity to build up team work, no? ;)

#3 Mud Crawl

Didn't you guys just love this? :D A free mud bath. Woot~

#4 Flour and Sweets

Campers definitely had an awesome and also free makeover! ;)

#5 Find Your Tokens.

Didn't the handwash feel good?

#6 Egg and Armpits.
hohoho, doesn't the name itself disgust you? XD

#7 Ping-Pong Ball Float!

It was definitely a moment for the guys to show off their sexy bodies *winks* ;)

During their 6th station, SL of each squads were "kidnapped" by our very own committee leaving the ASL's in charge. At the final station, the squad members together with their ASL's had to save their SL's from the "injuries" left behind by our evil committee. x)

-

After all the squads have finished their course, time was given to wash all the flour and the mud and the oil and other unknown things.

But lo-behold, the boys' toilets water supply was shortened. =x

And the girls' too had the same problem.

But just in a matter of time, everyone managed to clean up and start feeling the MK jitters.

-

MK started at 8.30pm.

The emcees for the night were Yi Jean and Devinia Sunshine.

All squads were creative with their performances.

Some were very sporting and others were LOL-rated.

Then, the campers were surprised with a lil something that the camp committees cooked up - a beautiful campfire. :)

Sang some campfire songs and danced around it.

-

Members soon got tired after that. Lights out; 12.15.

-

DAY 3 aka last day. D:

The blow-horn was (unfortunately) out of use that morning. =x

Campers woke up around 6.30am.

The Camp Disciplinarian and the Cleanliness Inspectors pumped the members for clogging the toilets (it caused a flood!) and those who were supposed to be on night-shift duty and failed to turn up!

Then, breakfast was served. Yumm.

Everyone has a lil last bonding session with their members as it was the last day of camp. :'(

Soon after, everyone washed up and got ready for our annual camp marching competition.

Congratulations to everyone for working so hard to please our judges for the day, Manoj Nair and Aaron Lim.

After everyone was done strutting their stuff, they all got changed for the next activity ; Clean Up!

Each Squad and Squad Facilitator was put in charge of an area.

Then, everyone was gathered in the hall for a multi-media presentation by Lim Yi Jean.

The presentation showed pictures that our papparazzi on duty, Yi Jean and Hong Ling, snapped throughout the whole camp.

We hope it brought laughter and smiles. :)

Then came the most crucial part of the camp, the long-awaited Prize Giving Ceremony.

Results:

Best SL : Daniel Devan

Best ASL : Calvin Ewe

Best QM : Davinia Sivagami

Best Squad : Squad 3

Best Camper (Ambulance) : Aaron Luke

Best Camper (Nursing) : Lim Fang Min

Best MK : Squad 6

Best Backwoods : Squad 7

Most colourful : Squad 1

Most Entertaining : Squad 8

Best Newcomer : Mahadhir

Congratulations, to you all! :)

Everyone's a winner. Why?

Because you guys managed to rock camp. And there's no losing point in that.

After all this, our QMs served the last lunch.

They had really good and addictive cordial. ;)

By the time everything was settled, the campers' parents arrived to pick them up.

Because of that, we didnt get a proper camp picture together.

But this will have to do.

Besidess, who needs pictures when you have memories to hang on to?

and that wraps up our SJAM DU Division Recruit Camp 2009.

See you guys next year!

xoxo
