Our BURST Camp started after school yesterday. You can say it's a nightmare. BURST stands for Basic Uniformed-group Robust School-based Training. We have it as a part of the Orientation. It's like physical and psychological torture. But this time, it's not just a 3-hour programme. It's a 2-day camp!!!
Day 1 - 18 Jan 2008, Friday
It started with practising our class cheer. Next, we learnt some new drills and also talked some crap wit the seniors. They came to the topic about push-up, which they ended up asking about the the person who can do the most push-ups. For some reason, I ended up doing push-ups with the class cheering. YES!!!!!! I topped the class with 48 push-ups, more than the Sec 4(s). Me rocks!!! JKJK... But without that guy making me laugh, I could have done 50. With that, an hour or two was gone. We learnt some knot-tying skills after the drills. And then, we practised the drills again. Everybody was getting hungry an hour later, so we had dinner. It's nice enough for me to eat 3/4 of it. We had the next hour in the hall listening to a Discipline guy talking about an upcoming event. Everybody longed for a bath so we just treated what he said as crap. We went for supper at 10.30 pm. And finally, we can bath at 11.30 pm. But we had to be in bed, or rather, sleeping bag by 12. So only a few bath. I wanted to but seeing the chaos in the Toilet, I didn't. So like the 30+/- people in class, I went to sleep after changing. I don't believe what had happened. I had never not bath for more than 24 hours before. And I can sleep without bathing. I must be insane, okay, more like tired. So... At 12.30 am, almost everyone fell asleep after sharing some jokes. Zzz...
Day 2 - 19 Jan 2008, SaturdayI was rudely awakened from the noise and the complains from my fellow classmates. A look in my watch shows 4.45 am. We were supposed to wake up at 6. We still have more than an hour to sleep and 75% of the class is awaked. I decided to have the next 10 minutes sleeping... 10 minutes later, I was rudely awakened again. I was about to teach that idiot a lesson when I looked up and saw... A TEACHER!!! I don't know who but after she command the class to go back to sleep, her ear-piercing scolding tells me it's Miss Khoo. After she left, I went out with a few friends to the toilet. For today, the toilet is a place to escape sleeping. We came back in a couple of minutes. After which we share jokes again. The next time I slept again, I was left with only 20 minutes!!! But nevermind, a short nap will do. At 6, the lights were finally on. We packed up our stuffs. For me, I did some push-ups after packing. That's the only way to keep my flu away. Next, we fall in at the Plaza at 6.30. After the lame exercising at the plaza, we have breakfast. The next hour was spent eating breakfast. We packed up again then we assembled in the hall. After the 30 minutes briefing, we set off for the newspaper collection. We walked for 20 minutes before reaching our destination. To make a long story short, we collected the newspapers and got a good respond. It's fun!!! The result shows that we collected a ton. A little lesser than last year as some schools came to collect a week before we did.
