TPRAWKS - DAY 2the day started out with some propaganda to "sell" TP, plus a briefing on what to do with the purple form. lol.
1st event - Adventure Learning Proogram. it was at some place behind the TCA (Temasek Culinary Academy! =D), with many elements. i was O.O when we 1st got there, because the 1st thing i saw was the HIGH elements. i have a fear for heights! (oops! this shouldn't be coming from a Scout =X) anyway, to my relief, the games didn't involve any high elements! yay! 1st game there was a team race which required the team to work together. there's 2 long and heavy wooden bars (with strings attached for people to use as "handles") with the group members standing on them (all left legs on the left bar, and right legs on the other). we were then expected to walk across a distance. 2nd game was simply jump-rope. erm, GROUP rope-skipping. initially we set a target of 18 (our group number! XD), but in the end we only managed to complete at most 4 consecutive successful jumps. x) to think of it, these 2 games are actually very simple games, but yet they are fun and interactive. so cool. never underestimate the power of simplicity.
lunch was after that. the location was better (under shelter, not that hot! x)) . =D BUT BUT BUT... the wait to wash our hands before lunch was simply terrible. sitting under the HOT (hotter than me sia XD) sun for a long time, 'cause my group was the last group.

no muscle la! XD
2nd event - HIPHOP DANCING! before and just when the session started, i absolutely hated HIPHOP dancing. BUT, as the session got on, i realised that hiphop isn't as bad as i thought it was. owells, i still don't have interest for hiphop! =P i'm just not GROOVY enough for hiphop. you seriously need to be able to feel, get into, and dance to the beat, which apparently i can't do very well. the moves are way too quick and sleek for me to grasp! x( back to the dancing... we learnt 4 counts of 8 (that's all!), but i couldn't even master the 3rd 8 properly. XD oh! there's this AHS alumnus who's a photographer in TP (he was a photographer in AHS too), and he deliberately took a picture of me learning the dance! aahhh!
3rd event - CAPTAIN's BALL. didn't participate, chose to sit out 'cause i was very tired. pretty normal game. seemed like alot of fun. x)
4th event - DRAGON BOATING! supposedly last thing for the day, and it was cancelled 'cause of the rain/drizzle. BUT last minute change of plans and we got the opportunity to DRAGONBOAT! =D it was very short though. everything was quite rushed, due to the lack of time. we walked QUICKLY to bedok reservoir and before i knew it, we were already in a dragonboat. XD learnt the basic techniques and commands, tried it out for a really short while and... *boom* we had a race. XD R18 got 2nd (out of 4 groups), but we were just that few centimetres behind the 1st group. not bad huh? the other 2 teams were quite far back ok... xP my arm's aching now!
Debrief... watched the cheerleading team do a cheer, and immediately when it ended, totally out of the blue, we did the mass dance. o.O LOL! after that there was some cheering. ok it's dumb, but the atmosphere shot up really high. it's very much similar to the cheering session/finale event of AHS sec1 Orientation Camp. get high, uber high! XD it felt so good...
something really random... for the camp, we were given stickers to write our names on, which were then to be pasted on our shirts. call them name stickers. lol. the interesting thing is that these were CLOTH stickers. i was totally amazed by it man, like seriously. x) i know, you're saying i'm retarded right? hmph!

The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
(i think it's so suitable for GRADUATION NIGHT '07. x))
Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
We'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
