tried to improvise e blog. quite unsuccessful i might add.e links got some prob.cant be bothered to do it now. head's spinning lyk madd cos im having flu+headache. how sickening... of all days i have to be sick during the hols!*hrmph* anyway, yest. had physio.was late(as usual). did some minor exercises cos somehow my injury worsened after oac.*sobs* then,my physio called his 'senior' to take a look @ me. i felt like an experiment or new specimen being observed by scientists in the lab. not exaggerating here. lyk i was the last few to get out of e clinic so practically i was left with all e physios ard. the new trainees were observing me with interest(only god noes y). finally got released frm physio @ lyk 6sth? cancelled my plans to self-train cos i was dying from my flu. on e way home was bad cos i had difficulties breathing & e damn mrt was crowded! didnt get to sit for e whole journey back.nearly died there mann.. was feeling damn weak,lucky i got to lean against the wall if not i wonder how i'd survive. when i reached home,i had some rest + played with my cat(sad life rite?ahha) then had a looong conversation with my hot date! talked bout oac & self-reflection n our performance etc.since i've got nth to do i shall talk bout oac.though oac was 3 wks ago,it's one of the main things i still think about...

-OAC ' 05- Day 1

hmm...not much to talk about..only rmbered i was half nervous half excited?. took cab with malita early in e morning. we reached @ lyk 6.15 so tt we can recheck our logistics we're bringing (juz in case.)everyone in class couldnt focus & complain bout having lessons b4 camp. actually,i quite agree tt it's a lil crappy to have lessons b4 gg for camp. as in obviously on everyone's mind is juz OAC! then after recess had a talk bout southern islands. e talk wasnt as boring as i thought it'd be.@ least i didnt fall asleep.(or rather i cant!)hehe..anyway, instrs were damn enthu..lyk watever e guy ask we answered!lol..we were high i guess..& also encouraging e campers to ans but they were like giving tt diao look.lol~ then u/s went down to carry our logistics needed. obviously my dept has one of the most stuff!brooms,bristles, toilet paper, dustpans...etc. while we load our stuff up e bus e rest was having spot checks for campers. i joined e spotcheck only much later...it's not fun to check ppl's bag!but it's quite funny in a way..lyk some campers approached me to ask "is calculator illegal?" diao~ how on earth would i noe? i dun see e danger in bringin a calculator..lol..but in e end i asked e camper to ask one of e ldrs. (sadly,after e camp,i heard tt campers still managed to smuggle prohibited items =( shows tt e spotcheck wasnt done thoroughly) when we reached campsite,my 1st ic said i had to brief campers on changing. diao~ on e spot i did e unprepared briefing which lasted 1min?lol..i was soo nervous! but quite proud of myself for not stuttering!muthu was soo cute! she wanted to brief strightaway w/o introducing herself!ahha..she was damn cute i was trying not to laugh! meanie me!*slaps myself* then after tt,my maintenance dept helped carry chairs to toilet(so sweet of them)then they bid farewell to me cos they had to go for amazing race!*sobs* i was left alone to set-up the groundsheets of e toilets for 4hrs! it was really tiring ok!n requires a lot of energy! was suppose to go for solar cooker but didnt cos had to set up e groundsheet on e day itself cos if not e campers will see each other when they shower!ahha...i was like singing to myself while doin it...cos trying to keep myself entertained?lol..n also i was in dilemma for a moment when i realised i didnt have enough groundsheets! lucky ms wong came to e rescue n helped thought of sth!*phew*if i could i'd hug her mann! show my gratitude to her! ahha..then much later i heard chief was looking for me cos i was suppose to be @ solar cooker!i was lyk uh-oh!i already told big bird to tell chief tt i was @ toilets but i think she forgot! ahha...but didnt get scolding...pheww...juz got a lil sympathy?casual remark of "poor thing"..hehe..finally @ ard 5 sth my superheroes came to e rescue!(maintenance dept) ahha..lucky only a few set-ups to go so they helped me set up & my worries of e toilets not being ready in time for bath was subsidised...then i had to rush to brief e classes bout bath time. seriously rushing frm one place to another made my brain function badly!ahha..i was talking crap mann..like seriously blabbering away...quite glad it was finally over! chaz nvr showered & a particular class cried cos of sth.i shall not say. made me panic ok!cos i thought it was cos of me!was panicking already n asking my 1st ic on wat to do..ahha then i tried comforting e class not to be upset bout it..hehe..e least i could do. had dinner with my maintenance dept after tt. felt akward cos i was e only instr amongst all e ldrs. but they were really nice & made me feel how shd i put it "at home?"lol..then rushed for class interaction & reflection. quite glad to see my class after a whole day of staring @ toilets! talked to some of them...but after tt it got quite boring & weisan saved me in time! ahha cos i had to rush to give another briefing to campers. then came debrief,e part which i dun look forward to but somehow look forward to wat e other u/s have to say.i was really nervous!!!weisan was lyk"my heart is beating very hard for u" ahha...i ws like" tks!my heart is beaating like madd too" ahha..after muthu debrief,it was my turn.weisan said gd luckk & off i went to e front to face e campers. though i was nervous & refer to my book a lot,i think i did a fair job. i debriefed juz lyk watever i've replayed in my mind on wat to debrief during bath.i think i was really fierce?so sorry if ur eardrums nearly burst hearing me debrief X).so glad after i debriefed. finally a load has been lifted off my shoulders!so happy my 1st ic said i did i gd job!=) anyway,basically e first day was full of me rushing to n fro frm one place to another. felt quite tired but i survived!wheeeeeeee....
