YAY people. I actually survived the Famine Camp. Cuz i was under the constant impression that i would die of starvation. But I didn't. YAY ME.

Let's start from Day 1 shall we?
I woke up at 6.54 thanks to mom and gab's screaming conversation. I had to pack for the camp. I was to shag from the training from the previous night, i packed half way. And went to sleep. LOL. Then, after finishing my packing, had a bath. Then set off to bedok mac donalds. Waited for Yilin and Liting to come. After we had our breakfast, OFF TO ACS BARKER RD.
We took an MRT to newton road. Then yilin took us on the wrong route. She took us to ACS Junior-.- In the end, we had to take a cab there. LOLOLOL.
Upon reaching, we did our registration and whatnot. changed into the camp shirt. Then went to auditorium to gather. It felt awesome in the auditorium. cuz of the AIR CON~ K, then we had to search for our team members. LOL. From the refugee camp. then the slum. And at the slum(tennis court), we had to build a shelter. And we were given ice cream sticks to buy materials to build the shelter. LOLOL. Good team work there. The shelter was done in NO TIME! Then we went back to the hall and slacked. Then left the hall to do jobs! my team, Naidu, consisted of 12 members. Me, Yilin, Victoria,Valerie, daphne, Hasyna, Andrew,Peng soon, weiming, jia le, bryson and Benjamin. Other than me, yilin and bryson, the rest of the members were either in J1 or J2. Hahaha, we're the youngest.
So, naidu was split up into bits a pieces. And we went to do jobs. I did tailoring, cutting,mining and farming. We had to collect ice cream sticks. When we gathered back at the hall, we had to gather our sticks. Weiming, Andrew, Jiale, Victoria, Valerie, Yilin were struck with HIV/AIDS. Cuz they did prostitution. HAHAHA. I didn't.
At night, we had a talk with one of the kids from cambodia. It was quite sad. Really. I didn't know HIV/AIDS discrimination was so bad. I'll educate people. I will. I shall.
Then we were given news. Bad news. WE COULDN'T BATH. Felt terrible. Smelly and sticky. Ugh, used body lotion. Then tried to sleep. We slept at the Indoor basketball court. Like the ones in NIE. The aircon was abit spoiled. Then people kept making noise until like 1. When lights were off. And yeah. Only managed to catch some sleep at 1 plus. Woke up a couple of times at night. Ah. My phone died trying to reply to derrick. Hahahaha. I refused to let Darch forgo sleep at night. So i suffered by listening to people giggling, chittering and whatnot. At least i didn't hear snorings. I personally thank god for that.

Todayyyyyyyyyyy! Yilin woke me up super early. 6 plus. Washed up and got ready. Then we went back to put our stuff in the classroom. Then back to the auditorium. We had soya bean milk for breakfast. The ones that come in a packet. Claiming to be LESS IN SUGAR. But it was frigging sweet. apparently, it was 25% less sweet than original. I wonder how would original taste. Ew. Anyway, we were pretty hungry. So drank it. we have a bladder king among us. Actually, its 2. Peng soon and benjamin. Peng soon drank 4 packs of drinks. And had to go to the toilet everyday 10-15 minutes. I'm not exaggerating. 2nd in place, benjamin. That fella just goes to the toilet for idk what reasons. K. So, we went to tampines to collect old newspapers and clothes. It was a good harvest. Had to carry alot of stuff. yeah. By the time it ended, we were sleeping in the void deck. Super tired. On the way back, slept too.
Then when we were back at ASC , We slacked. And got our bags and went back to auditorium. Did cheering. But was shagged. no energy liao. still cheer-.-
After all that drama, we went to downtown east! D' Marquee. Had some concert thingy. people there were high. Zhang hui mei was singing. Jack and Rai were there too:D more interested in Jack and Rai. K. Then after the concert, we went to food court to makan. Wasn't exactly in the best of moods. Sorry yilin and Liting if i was cranky. after that, went home with yilin on MRT. Daddy brought the bike to the MRT for mwa. So i cycled home. with the bags. Yeah. Heavy load. But feasible load. Then finally had my LONG AWAITED BATH. It felt good. Felt awesome. After 30 hours without food and bath, i finally had both. Sense of accomplishment. But i missed min's concert:( SORRY MY DEAR. REALLY REALLY SORRY.

now, i'm super tired. Next up, mission trip.
