SCAMP Day 4

Probably the best sleep i've ever got in my five day camp, (coz i slept on the bed while the rest slept on the floor), i woke up early to brush my teeth. However, the weather wasnt good as dark cloud clustered. After all of us changed to our beach attire and gathered at LT 32, we were briefed regarding the programme at Sentosa, afterwhich, we set off to board the chartered bus which transported us to Sentosa Beach.

Upon arrival at Sentosa Palawan Beach, the sky was cleared, much to our delight. My OG started dunking our OGLs and seniors into the sea. We were so excited way before games officially started. Beach games started. There were six stations which involved us getting wet and dirty. But it was fun. We continued dunking seniors to earn more points. Red Bull sponsor girls arrived with cans of red bull drinks which served as refreshment for us after a whole morning of fun under the sun.


We sat down at a shady spot to have lunch before proceeding to the second part of beach game, which was War Game. The sun was very bright and it shined directly on us, baking every bit of us. I started regretting not apply sun protecting and predicted a very bad sunburn is eminent. We were briefed the rules of the war games. Basically every of the three houses had this many number of water bombs and we are to attack other houses' groundbase with the waterbombs. The house with the least number of waterbombs in their groundbase will win the overall champion house title. After filling up the waterbombs with seawater, i already felt the pain on my shoulders and back, but we still proceeded enthusiastically with the war games.

The war game started in a very chaotic manner. Imagine three houses attacking each other. I recalled launching a few waterbombs accurately into other houses' base inspite of their many defenders. The entire scenario was chaotic. Eventually, everything ended and the committee went to count the scores. In the end, my house miraculously won, inspite of the fact that we got the least number of bombs compared to the other two (they successfully bid more bombs before the game). As such, we won the right to bathe at the nearby toilets.

We were released to bathe and change for grand buffet dinner and clubbing at the night. We kind of agree that it was not a splendid idea to change in Sentosa into our clubbing attire. As the few hundreds of us started to squeeze into the limited number of available showers, a long queue is unavoidable. I recalled queueing for quite long before it was my turn. I bathed and changed into my all black attire. I had not club before hence i have no idea what is the definition of "clubbing attire". So i decided to wear what i wore to Ah Lu's wedding the other time.

Seeing everyone fresh and all dressed up was interesting. It was definitely another side of my OG mates i've yet to witness. We board the chartered bus which sent us to Hort Park for our buffet dinner. It was also where we were revealed who our SPs were. Unfortunately, my SP was not present as she sprained her ankle and was sent home to rest. The buffet dinner was good and we watched some games played amongst selected SPs pairs on stage.

It was 9pm to 10pm when we made our way down to DXO for clubbing night as a OG. We were initially planned to club at Butterfactory but due to some payment issues, the SCAMP comm was denied the venue one week before the camp and hence settled down with DXO as a last minute plan. Imagine if we really were to club at Butterfactory, there would not be any clubbing night because Butterfactory was shut down due to H1N1 outspread. So lucky of us. We played and chatted loudy along the whole journey, perhaps due to our extraordinary level of "high-ness". It was my first time clubbing and i was very excited. The first instance i entered the club, i knew it was not a place i liked. The dark and noisy environment was not welcoming to me, especially when the music was played at deafening volume. It gave me headache. But since i was already there, i told myself to let go, enjoy and have fun, it would serve as an invaluable experience.


Me and my OGmates danced through the night and i kind of getting the groove of it. Finally i've experienced what IS clubbing. The music stopped at 2am sharp and we were asked to leave because its closing. At that point of time, one of our senior was dead drunk and we have to send people within us to drive him back to school. The rest of us gathered back at LT32 before proceeding to NUH canteen to have supper, or rather breakfast (it was alreadi 4.30am when i had my bowl of meepok). Everyone was baked red due to the whole day under the sun at Sentosa. Me and a few guys even felt the pain on our shoulders with every single small movement we made. We did not bother to bathe or wash up after that. We just changed and fell asleep at LT32.
