Camp RE:ACT! 2012 (III) [OVERDUE]

On the third and last day of Camp RE:ACT, Sam came in trying very hard to be less awkward :') he offered us morning hugs, played around and talked to us more, and offered us goodbye hugs as well, even if no one accepted the hug offers.

Instead of playing icebreakers on the first day, we played them on the last day while everyone was busy with the performance preparations because it is Group 6 swag ;)

We had a drama workshop for our first workshop of the day and it was quite good! It was really fun, cute and funny, watching all the camp facils do crazy things.

And the facils bought us Island Creamery ice-cream! They asked us "methophorically speaking, do you like froyo or ice cream more? we're just asking for no reason really", and Nic told us "sorry guys, i need to leave you for a while to buy something which is not for you at all". much love for them awkward facils really. we made space for them to sit with us during lunch and Nic was like "oh you guys are so sweet".

Had a plenary after lunch and it was....meh. Everyone was falling asleep, even Nic. He sat next to me and i could see him constantly dozing off. Plus, i heard John tell him "dude hang in there, we're halfway through." Sam was on stage because he was the I/C and he was telling us later about how he could see everyone falling asleep with demonstrations included. The speaker was the National Poet (wow) and he was a really nice guy, talking about Halo 4 and all, just that his talk was really long and slow, almost like a lecture.

After that, we had 4 hours to practice our performance! the facils ditched us to do their farewell video (although at that time we didn't know it) and we made cards for them before starting on our practice. To be honest we had nothing much to write in the morning but after lunch we added more things! We practiced our play 4 times and Victoria, Reiko and I starting randomly dancing kpop songs. SHAWOLS FTW SHINee WORLD UNITES. When the facils came back, we showed them our play and they so coolly said it was good. Our group is like the chillest group in the camp, it was Sam's influence because he's the King of Zen and he's our somewhat main facil. Therefore, our group's taglines are "WE'RE SO ZEN" and "NO EYESSSSSS" thanks to our play!! :D

Vic, Reiko and I started 'singing' kpop songs and the facils were judging us so badly. Nic and John ran away to wash their faces and Sam just stared at us while drinking his coffee. He asked, "what game are you playing? Can i join?" and we 'sang' Firework for him before he said, "maybe i shouldn't join."  We talked to him about life and somehow it led to talking about porn and dirty shows..... But he became much less awkward and actually seemed like quite a good senior to talk to.

Nic and John came back and Nic made us play Murderer again. HE IS OBSESSED WITH THAT GAME. Every time we have a break, he'll ask "anyone wants to play Murderer?"

Had our performance rehearsal on stage with spotlights and all before dinner. Played a very failed truth or dare before the finale started and Nic had to go off for some poetry thing :(

They played the top 3 films and ours wasn't one of them although i think our Adventures of Chairgirl was was better~

Each group then had their own performances and i think Group 6 was the only group not freaking out. WE'RE SO ZEN AND IT'S GROUP 6 SWAG. I remember being so extremely happy that Nic made it back for our performance :') he and Sam were creeping around backstage and they scared me!! It was super dark bckstage and i felt someone tugging the curtains :p

I almost cried during the facils' videos. The Samderman video was so expected of Sam, Nic and John gosh. For most of the video they were just running around while the other facils' videos were so serious haha! Sam only appeared for like 2 seconds though and IT WAS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD >:(

group 6, with 3 members missing because they didn't come

This group grew on me, really. From day 1 til the 3rd day, you can actually see how much we bonded. From the awkward group we are who even resorted to crossing bridges as a rite of initiation, we actually bonded enough to put on a play in two days (not counting the first day because we weren't talking very much).

I suffered from camp withdrawals for quite a long time :( i didn't expect to be miss the facils so much but i did. I miss my group members so much as well. They had a meetup but i couldn't go because I was overseas :'( I guess it was weird to not be seeing them after being with them from 7am to 6pm for two days and 7am to 10pm on the last.

ILY GROUP 6. WE'RE SO ZEN. <3

Camp RE:ACT! (II) [OVERDUE]

I've finally found the time and the willpower to blog again.

Had an amazing race for the second day of Camp RE:ACT and it was really fun! Our third facil, who was absent on the first day due to As came, and we ran around from Orchard to Toa Payoh to Novena and Newton. We officially named ourselves the chill group though. Nic came running to us in Popeyes, saying "hey guys this is your first clue!" We solved it in 5 seconds and then spent 20 minutes or so still having our lunch :p we agreed to be last and walk in with style but surprise surprise, we weren't the last~

Anyway, our first station was to make a speech to no one in particular in an underpass. No one wanted to listen to us HAHA they kept brushing us off. i guess we did quite well because Sam said  he really liked our speech :D

We then went to Toa Payoh and made a retarded story on how to slay a dragon. We also made a music video featuring Nic as an insecure boy, and we were singing What Makes You Beautiful and Call Me Maybe to him :D

Proceeded to ION after, and posed and talked to statues. We got lost looking for Lido and then at Lido itself, looking for the right theatre. Nic is an awesome facil really he was running everywhere ahead of us to help see if we were at the right place ^^ But then again, he's really hyper and never runs out of energy. Our group wasn't really movie people though, so we almost failed that station with a 5/10.

Before the amazing race, wanted to go to Newton food centre for lunch but the facils had violent objections. "No that's at the opposite direction we're going!!!" It was so obvious there was a station there. We had to scrape the sides of the coconut with straws, and then combine the straws to drink coconut juice with conjoined straws. THE COCONUT JUICE WAS GOOD (Y)

We went to Newton station for the next station and had to recite the red line without looking. Mariah and I were the black holes because we live our lives on the green line, and I felt quite bad about it :(

Our last station was at Velocity where we had to make a plasticine figurine of Velocity itself. We did quite badlyIi guess but the station master still gave us a 9 out of 10 (:

Wanted to get ice cream but apparently if we came back after 5 they would deduct points, so we rushed back. We ran against group 4 to get back and it was really tiring.

Bonded pretty much today compared to yesterday although Samwasn't with us since he was a station master :( but Nic, John and the rest of us were definitely a lot less awkward :)
