Dearest Orange!
Odac'10 was AWESOME! The best camp ever! HAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA:DD I encountered alot of first times within this 5days 4 nights. First time meeting people in nus, first time sleeping in tents, first time experiencing tent floods,first time sleeping under the stars at west coast park, first time night cycling and dragon boating! First time eating cheese prata with the least amount of cheese,first time climbing mountain, first time cooking maggimee with sardines using masstins(actually i ate more than i cook), first time experiencing a blackout in malaysia,first time using the most destructive army insect repellant, first time having campfire without fire, first time walking back to nus from hortpark at the most unearthly hour.

WOW i cannot believe i made it alive man! But all thanks to my friends from coffeetiam,and also the seniors and other campmates, everyone encouraging each other along, and helping each other out:) When i realise my own torch light is so lousy that i cannot see clearly at night, there's always a powerful torch guiding our way through. Our most frequented games throughout the camp was "Polar Bear" and "chuckie chuckie"! HAHA Damn funn!! We also had HTHT(heart to heart talk) together with the guys which failed, as we practically end up talking about eating the grossest food on earth. But the one with the girls was okay:)

My best buddy in camp's HanHan! We click super well together HAHA, so well that the others thought we are old friends:) We sang, cheered and got really high together hehe! Shes really funny though, claims that she is traditional but behave totally the opposite:D


me and hanhan

One of our Gl, xiuling surprisingly share the same interest as me! That is for wildlife and the environment, and she was present during the wear i co-organised envirofest! She's a really loud and fun friend to be with!:D
Coincidentally, i also met my RVDS senior Qian Ning and her sis, Qian Wei in coffetiam! HAHA they are really a great pair of sister, both physically strong:)
Then theres Natasha and Angela toO!!! Both pair of Natasha's shoes were spoilt during the camp haha really very suay. And Angela has the amazing skill of stuffing alot alot alot of marshmellows in her mouth!!!!!!

Then our group's guys,
Most importantly, uncle leonard whos the one who opened coffeetiam! His hobby is drinking coffee at coffeetiams with his friend. His favourite phrases are, "I dont know" and "Good good". HAhah although a lot of times we ask him about the itinery and stuff he'll say "I dont know," but we really feel that he is a great listener and entertainer:D
The second best entertainer is Andy! HAHAHAHAHA i can still laugh at his "shaggy dog" story up till now:D And he really is at risk of getting breast cancer coz he always am chio!
Then we have our 2 best buddies Gurgan and Jiayang. When i want to know about the soccer scores, i'll go to them. Their favourite qn is traffic light=.=
Finally, our parents! Hakeem daddy and Yan shun mummy hahah! They did gay dance for the Miss Oac 2010 contest:D They really make a good pair la. Cannot play polar bear with Hakeem coz hes always very deceiving. And Yanshun is my rv plus NJ senior!! After his guidance during mountain climbing, I feel confident that I can conquer mountains in the future!
A few grp shots:




Okay now a preview of the whole camp!:D




Started off with a small race around the school, these were some of the tasks we had to complete:)


Then we reached ECP and pitched our tents before sitting at the breakwaters to eat chicken rice for dinner.



Then off to night cycling! From 9plus all the way to 4plus in the morning:D


6plus am.This is in a shelter at ECP when the storm came haha we all evacuated from our tents one by one, barely slept!!!:( But really fun holding that blue sheet up tgth to block off the rain.




Day 2 dragon boating, cannot believe we can be so strong!


The morning after waking up at WCP, outside the MACs


We travelled in this sauna bus to Gunung Lambak upon reaching Johor.



We pitched our tents in this "jungle" and were practically feeding mosquitoes while doing so:( That's where all of Andy's ointment and repellant came in really useful! Thanks man:DD


We attempted climbing the first time, but unfortunately, convectional rain!:( So stopped not even halfway for nearly 1 hr at this shelter. Haaha but the rain never fail to dampen our mood! We continued playing polar bear and "Have you ever?":DD



See! It flooded again after the rain, so we moved our tents to the carpark, then started cooking. And unfortunately, the second thunderstorm came and this time, we fled to the big hall near the resort. Guess what, it doesnt end here. Then came the blackout. even the guys got a shock. Nevertheless, we kept each other company, continued chatting and playing games:) The guys even sang army songs haha NICE



And the following day, we finally succeded on climbing up to the summit!!! YAY! The scenery's great! I felt like i was floating on the clouds heehee. The descent was tricky and challenging, but I really enjoyed it! So cool:D Our teamwork really pulled off:) The guys did a great job to guide and save us girls! YAY GO COFFETIAM




Then it was finally back to NUS. This is our campfire night, we had it at the Henderson waves:) The seniors made the hottest and warmest campfire I've ever had! Those shots was that of our group item. HAHA really cui. We had a skid, then danced sorry sorry.


See! THis is the highlight of the night! Miss Oac contest:D Yan de bu nana, Mary and Esther hahaha



Hahah our group's heroine! WOOHOOOO


Last but not least, Goddess and Uncle Leonard, our dearest GL. Must really thank Goddess for looking out for me during night cycling:D


Uncle Leonard: Lim ah Lim ah Lim!

WoW this must have been the longest post ever. My hand is aching now! I'll always remember OAC'10:) Its a great success, thanks to all the wonderful people!

love, Joy
