Right. So I'll begin with the Peer Leader Camp.
Day 1
The first day of PLC, I practically missed the whole day. Lol. As I had my French exchange programme on the same day so I told my seniors that I could not make it for like half the day, Anyways, when I reached school, found that there was no one from PLC and only some people from the hostel loitering about. I was getting really worried. So I started furiously dialling the numbers of the friends I knew that were form PLC. No answer unfortunately. Thanks to Weijie and Joshua, they helped me to get some numbers. Called my class moniter up. He said they were scattered all over Singapore as they were playing The Amazing Race game. Bleahs, and I thought they had gone to have their dinner. Oh well. So I left my bag in school, hopped on a bus to Parkway and had my lunch there. When I came back, so were the rest. Yups… was welcomed into my squad. The group members were really nice. I was in the group SANG (Read: Simply Atrocious N Gorgeous). Haha. The group had done their group presentations in the morning and came out with that name. Creative huh? So, first up, had lectures that were boring, about being a Peer Leader, how to handle peers, etc etc. Then we had games of human chess! All the groups had to take part. It was really fun --- and messy. Every time a chess piece could attack the opponent, the person can throw a handful of flour at the other. I managed to kill off one senior. I threw a handful of flour right smack in his face. Revenge of the juniors! Wahahaha. Well, had my retribution next, as my group was playing against the seniors, the senior was already winning and my group leader sent me a step forward and I came face to face with another chess piece. *sigh* So, there I was, the final chess piece to be attacked for the night. The senior said his parting words, “You’re the last one, so use more flour…” Then BAM! Had flour all over my face, t-shirt, inside my nostrils, in my lovely hair that I just washed like 3 hours ago… Went to toilet to clear up the mess… freakin’ sticky, cant get all of it off… Then I went on a sneezing fit, the flour had clogged up my nostrils so I was sneezing like a mad person… So I went to shower after that and it was LIGHTS OUT!
Day 2
Next day, had the most exciting thing to start the day of with – Physical Training. Did the 5 BX, then had to run around the school in THREES with the others and cheer at the same time. Hiong man… Furthermore the seniors were like “Cheer louder, LOUDER!” Breathless as we were, we held on…Had to do 10 Green Bottles as well... o.O
Next thing we had on was water bomb fights! Damn fun! Can throw at people, haix, I got eliminated playing the game against another group. Then after that, the seniors made us fill buckets with water using only the thing on our body… It was chaos! Many of us started taking of our t-shirts then running to the toilet to wet them then squeeze the water into the buckets… For me, I did that too, and I filled my mouth with water and spat it into the bucket, which many others did too… haha. The most outrageous thing someone did was to pee in the bucket… gross. Then the seniors sent us to the sand pit in our school to search for a bar of soap and a candle. The bar of soap that is found must be completely dissolved in the “Water” that we had in our buckets. Then, put a candle on the surface of the water, it is those rounded candles… Yeah, so all of us got down and dirty in the sand, digging like animals… LOL. My team did not complete the task, the freakin’ candle was too difficult to find.
Next activity: Building towers using the materials that the seniors were selling at their “Shop” each group had paper money to use lah. The items they sold were at inflated prices… Well, my group won for the tallest tower! Woohoo~
Night time we had a BBQ which was really fun. I was practically gorging myself. Haha. So fun.. wolfed down alot of chicken wings and the chicken chop was great! Then at 10 p.m. we had a movie screening... Horror movie... I like watching Horror movies but i don't like the images that flash through my mind after the movie... Well, we watched Into The Mirror. Korean horror. Then after that had night walk around the school. The seniors kept telling us horror stories to scare the shit outta us. I was. Then during the night walk they will purposely make weird noises and grab us. I was grabbed on the leg by one of the seniors when I was in the toilet. Damn scary. I almost screamed. But i stifled my voice. Dang. My heart can't take these scare tactics... Will get heart attack de... Lol. Well, after everyone had finished the night walk it was about 3am+ liao. Then it was lights out yet again.
PT yet again. Have to do 5 BX. Had breakfast then after that we lectures from external people and some SJI peer leaders LOL. Our seniors showed us a tribute video they did for PLC. They also showed us this hilarious spoof on Harry Potter video. Haha. Then they ask students to give their views on PLC. I told them that I felt it was dumb at first. No hard feelings guys, but I enjoyed it and have changed my perception! (: Then, there was the handing out of red tees which is like so cool, then we had a photograph session, sang the VS anthemn and that was it! The end of PLC.
Well, the motto of PLC is You Never Stand Alone. Abide by that, we will.
French school facts: Most of the students there use fountain pens for their writing and most of them write cursive words which is really hard to distinguish. For me at least. ;)
Hail Mary.
