Caiqing was FUN! Sitting on the lorry was the funnest thing (: Though I still think leaning on the thing is scary. I know its very stable, but still... Day 1 we went to quite a lot of places. Bartley (where we waited quite a while. where the people gave us a lot of food.) French school (where ma'ams wu-ed for very long) The GIGANTIC house beside ny (which was the last place we went to for the day. Ended late, so only jung and melia and I went to KAP to tapaw dinner. Day 2 went to lesser places. Ended quite early and had debrief and sort of got chased away. Anyway, we went to KAP. More squadmates went this time round (: Crapped a lot. Okay, change topic.
Thinking of AGM reminds me of MeiChun. She wasnt supposed to say that we love to polish boots. But what's done cannot be undone, so whatever. Then after that we had drills.
Mock third class. Ended quite early and we had one-to-one talk. Hmmmm... Did much better for mock third class than for third class.. For me :( but never mind. shall jiayou and all of us will do much much better for the retest (:
LSC !!! First thing was amazing race at Botanical Gardens. Reminds me of Alumni Games Day (: Anyway, we were super un-high at the start. Only got high at the end. Didnt do one of the stations. Coz 201 was there the first time we went. So we ran down to Symphony Lake to do the next station. Then we choinged back up and 212 was there! Then we couldnt do anymore coz it was already 12. Then we had to go back Syphony Lake :( It still was fun (: There was this station where we had to find some stuff. Shooting Star, ZhaoChen was the 'star' coz she had sunglasses and someone shot her. For the 4 kisses, Sheryl went and kiss 4 of our classmates on the cheek!! Then we went back to school. Did 203 de telematch. Liked the blood potatoes (: Apparently our class and 208 were the best in that game. Oh, and Zhong Lao Shi came in and tickled some people. Anyway, we were really walking in circles around the room at the end (: YAYY. Then our class de telematch was next. Somehow the Tea Break disappeared. And then 203 was late coz they had to clean up. Then they not high coz they very tired :( WW3 was the funnest I think. Coz its water. The last two classes used two pails of water and splashed each other in the quadrangle. And we had to clean up for movie. But we did it (: Movie was School Of Rock. It was nice. Debrief was sian, coz everyone was in the 'I-want-to-sleep' mood. PS. Thank you Mrs Sandy Tan for scolding the Sec 1 for being noisy. Talk so loudly, there was even someone screaming?!
Day 2 was slack. Had leadership games. There was egg drop, obstacle, water bomb game!! Loved the water bomb game. Thought the kidnap was diao. And a bit unfair, coz the people who were kidnapped cannot play. After that was the personality test. Sat very close to jung. Oh, and three people had to do banana dance! The guy who demo-ed was very gay. Anyway, went for dinner then it was night trail. We got chao high. Thought the ma bu game was the best (: Then went back to class and we had 'voice training' coz Mr Nick Ng told us no mikes.
Stayed up till around one with few others. Samantha, Sherly, Cheryl, EeHsien, Kelly, CongZhi and Jessica. ZhiYi joined us later. We played card games for a while. Then played truth or dare. Found out a lot of funny stuff. Dare was very funny too, we were comtemplating to prank call. But we DIDNT. Coz it was very late and we are very considerate people. Anyway, there were a few dares where the person had to kiss another person on the CHEEK. Read this: on the cheek! Okay.. There was this part when a teacher opened the door and asked 'Are you all asleep?' Of course no one answered. She didnt see us, luckily, coz she didnt come in. Anyway, the eight or nine of us went to the toilet at 12.30 and we were refreshed. Went back and talked. Got freaked out by the big space in the center of the classroom and the towels hanging on the nylon on top of us. Then we fell asleep.
Day 3. Drama. 201 did something like a mime. Red ants vs black ants. Really cool (: 202's one was interesting. The part where the kidnappers came out with sleeping bags draped over their shoulders was super diao. 203's was about a netball team, if i remember correctly. It was really funny when someone was supposed to shoot into the goal and then hit the cheerleaders accidently. 204 was mostly dance. The fusion dance was not bad. Saw Hong dance (: Missed 205's coz we were at backstage. 206's one only saw a bit so I dont know what it was about. 207 de. I think the audience missed out a lot. Coz we very soft :( Anyway shall just list out a few parts which were funny.
Sheryl: Who's done it? Who's killing us all?

Person H: [very quickly] do you swear to tell the whole
truth, solemn truth and nothing else but the truth?

208 did about My Fair Lady. You know the fair lady in london bridge is falling down. They also had a lot of other nursery rhyme characters. It was very cool and engaging (: 209's was about music fusion. 210 was about ........... i forgot le. then 211 is about a class of two major cliques. I think it something like the 206 one. Or maybe not. 212 also about fusion. Liked the part where someone came out and talked about the judges comment. 213's one was abt Mrs Dubose being kidnapped and the villages helped her. Something like that.
Then it was prize presentation. We won four or five prizes (: Then it was the photo montage. Then appreciation time. A lot of people went up and thanked others. And it was really a lot. Took like half an hour plus. Then we went back class, took our stuff and left.
So, we went KAP. Jung Chuie, Hong, Pinky and Me. Melia was there with her classmates. Ate. Talked about a lot of stuff. The three of us joined Melia and her classmates after Pinky and Hong left. That was when we told ghost stories. So as I promised, I will put up the apple story. And if i feel like it, I will post some other stories too.
There lived this boy call Tim. One holiday, he was at his granny's farm. His granny was a very superstitioud person. For example, when Tim knocked
over a salt shaker, she would ask him to throw a pinch of salt over his left shoulder to blind the devil sitting there. When Tim eats apples, she will say, 'Watch out for the pips. Dont want a tree growing in your tummy.' His granny was a widow. Tim's grandad died in an accident in the farm, but no one told Tim about the details.One evening, Tim was very hungry. But dinner wasnt ready. So he went searching for food, when he remembered about his neighbour's orchard full of ripe and juicy apples. He couldnt resist the temptation and decided to steal an apple. Suddenly, someone shouted at Tim. It was the owner of the Orchard, an old man called Bill Cole. Tim ran and heard the man shouting after him. 'if you ever come back, i'll make you sorry'
Tim forgot abt this incident until one day.... Tim was once again on a mission to search for food. He decided to go back to the orchard and make another attempt at stealing some apples. And he was successful though he was almost caught. Old Bill Cole had shouted at him, 'Watch out! No one ever eats my apples!' Just as Tim was about to eat the apple he stole, he thought of his granny saying to watch out for the apple pips. He shook off the thought and ate the apple, core and pips and everything.
The next morning, Tim woke up with a cough. He felt something in his throat. He coughed and coughed and he coughed out four apple pips. He thought it was very strange, but soon forgot about it. In the late afternoon, Tim heard a ringing noise in his left ear. It started itching and was soon joined by a dull rustling noise. It got worse and it eventually sounded like a wasp buzzing with its sting prinking. Tim prodded his ear and felt something, he pulled it out and it was actually a LEAF. That evening, the same thing happenned to his right ear.
Late that night, just as Tim was going to go to sleep, he felt a large lump in his stomach. It looked pinkish, but when Tim pressed on it, it didnt hurt, instead the lump started swelling. Suddenly, Tim's belly button opened, spat something out and closed again. Tim picked up the round thing which was spat out, it was an apple. Tim screamed but no noise came out of his mouth. Suddenly, he realized that there were more and more lumps forming on his body. Leaves were also growing from his ears and nostrils at a rapid rate.
Tim was terrified. He ran to old Bill Cole's house. As he was running, he tripped over one of the apple tree's roots. As he got onto his foot, he saw that on the bark of the tree was a face. The next tree was the same. So was the next one. ALL THE TREES WERE THE SAME!
Some were boys. Some were girls. Some had their mouths open, screaming for help. Some had bulging eyes and the look of horror in the blank wooden orbs showed fear and desperation.
Suddenly, Tim saw this tree. The face on this tree was his GRANDAD'S! Tim tried to run when he felt something hard tear through his skin. He looked down in fear and saw that jutting from his arms and legs were thick, bark-covered branches! Roots also had burst from his ankles and burrowed into the ground. Tim's entire body went rigid from the bark. Tim heard footsteps as he saw old Bill Cole approach. He was smiling, watching as Tim's face was covered by bark.
That story was taken from Voices from the Midnight Library. i deleted a lot of stuff. But that's the outline.
O.O I just heard a caiqing lorry. Miss squadmates.
207 rocks. 40 rocks too! (:
