When everyone gather, then we walked to St. Andrew JC together lo.. haha, juz follow the crowd, dunnoe which way to go also.. the distance fr the MRT a bit long siax, like wat Andi told mi lo.. complicated, then we went in, c which station should b go to, accordin to our surname.. haha.. then i saw someone familiar la.. i thin is the 'xiao yuan superstar' the first la.. fr the hwa chong wan la, dun noe wat name liao le.. haha.. so he came to this camp too, surprisinly.. anywy, i also dun care.. so, we register, then we were each given a card n a mini bklet.. the card says the role of us, like e.g. father, mother or daughter/son... haha, then there were like different family group n there is 13 of us in each family, then there were also instructions on which evacuation center should we report to... I gt the role of a mother, then there isnt any instructions on which evacuation center should i go to.. nvm, i thin i wil noe it beter when instructions is given...

After collectin the camp shirt then we went to have our last meal lo.. haha.. mac is the choice.. n i reali ate a big meal, caz i m damn hungry siax.. n the mac were like packed wif a lot of ppl fr the camp wan lo.. Abt 12.30pm like tt, then everyone of us went back to SAJC lo, caz we need to go for the open ceremony ma.. oya, b4 eatin, we bypass the fitness conrner, then we were like playin there lo, thus a lot of ppl whu went pass us were like lookin at us in a weird manner.. haha.. anywy, it's fun..

Speech is given then the fastin started lo.. 1st thin tt we need to do is tt we were supposed to imagine tt singapore is hit wif a disaster, then everyone was missin.. the family is seperated, so, the role of father is to find the sons, daughters n the mother.. caz mother gt no specific evacuation center to go, i need to go to every evacuation center to queue up n register lo, if my nams is nt there then i need to go to another evacutation center.. haix, n i reali damn suay lo, caz i went to the 2nd one first, then to the 1st, n in the end i muz go to evacuation center 3.. aiyo, n i was the last one to b collected by the father lo.. haha.. anywy, some of the sons or daughters were dead.. so total there left 11 ppl includin mi in the family, n i m supposed to camp n make friends wif them til the end of the camp.. haha.. anywy, i remembered their name quite fast la..haha.. after reunite wif the family, then we proceed to the cultural hall again, caz speech is given once again, on HIV, etc. after which, we went out again.. to out scene 2.. which is to earn $$ to buy the tables, chairs, string n trash bag (we ve to use these thins to build a tent to squeeze all 1 of us in).. so, we went to play games lo, e.g. sortin of beads (red n green) which is mixed in one whole big bag, then we also need to entertain the ppl in charge, so tt she wil give us more $$ (which is ice-cream sticks) n stuffs... n i taught them the kungfu version of 'twinkle twinkle little stars'...

We went back to the cultural hall again after we moved the tables to the specific location on the track.. we even 'kop' one chair fr the market.. haha.. tt's my idea, caz they were like so busy, so they also din take note of anythin la.. haha.. this time the speech is on proverty.. a video was shown to us on hw pitiful the chilidren in india is.. their parents died young, n they need to support themselves by earnin $$.. however, life was tough.. the $$ the earn were nt enough, so often, they had to starve themselves.. so ke lian la.. i neali cry lo.. after tt, we moved on to scene 3.. which is tt, we need to finish buildin our hse, then hor, need to earn abt 65 dollars... so we went to the black market to sell the thins tt we collected at the stores.. haha.. n we also entertain the buyer.. by singin the kungfu 'twinkle twinkle little stars'.. i thin we r gettin better at it liao le.. haha... we also finish buildin our tent liao.. a bit weird la.. caz we even need to use a dustbin to support it.. anywy, it's unique...

We went back to the cultural hall for the last time.. this time, the topic is abt housin.. the housin system in singapore.. at first, the speaker asked us all to stand, then those livin in HDB sit down, condo sit down, then so on... haha. then in the end, stil left some of the ppl stil standin.. he was like so curious on hw big their hse is.. eventuali to find tt they live in hostel.. haha.. then i also noe abt one thin lo.. those dead is beter then those whu is livin, e.g. the tomb in phili.. they were like gt to live in bungalow.. anywy, the whole day went quite quickly.. then the last part when the organiser asked us wat gt we gt to reflect on tt day, then gt one girl went up to vent out her frastration.. i thin she gt too much hope in sin liao le... she said thins like 'hw come we r havin fun here, i though this is suppose to like help us to understand the pain?, i thought we wil b like comin here to pack food for the needy... y r we doin this, i simply dun understand'... aiyo.. then also gt a lot of ppl 'sue' her back lo.. like e.g. there is no real disaster in sin, the onli thin tt we can do is to understand, at least we noe wat thins they r goin through.... so, for tt moment, there were like a lot of argument goin on lo.. aiyo...

After everythin is resolve, the girls went to the netball court to sleep then the guys went to the track lo.. personali i thin the track is beter lo, nt enclosed wan, then nt so hot somemore.. after washin up, we went to bed la.. aiyo, supposedli we should sleep but hor, the spotlights r nt off, so some of the girls were practicali nt sleepin n they were chattin.. though i was listenin to my MP3, i stil can hear wat r they tokin lo.. so i din sleep well la.. somemore my friend was like keep flipin over to my side, then the hand keep hittin mi.. so i amlost woke up in every hr lo.. damn tired siax...
