Joseph & mr chong tried to kidnap shawn liaw, cos he's the most gullible
So in the end, marcus had to wrap his arms around shawn to avoid him "helping" the group lose 35 points.
XD thanks marcus!
Douglas and clarence and the other juniors were super funny.
When joseph got near, they ran away and took refuge behind me
So cute! XD
I almost got kidnapped too ):
Anyway, there's hot dog bun and chocolate goat milk!
Finished the whole bootle!
Then frog farm!
Threw frog food to lil froggies
and watched a video on frog farm.

I packed everything into one bag,so all i hve to do is just
GRAB-&-GO(:

Lianne had to rack her brains cos almost all of us are asking her to do the design
And plus, her text are nice(:
So to share her burden(i'm such a nice girl)
*SLAPS* XD yeah linrui stop dreaming
So to share her burden i did my own section's font.
Pasted the photo
and wrote my message(:
Bryan went out for a while
Ezbon looked so sian after packing some files in the band room cos they looked like they're crumpling downwards.
Bryan came back and got all excited over supper =.=
So yeah we got cake.
And Joseph told us that the cake/muffins were the SUPERSENIORS tea break
LOL but it was nice lah
We opened de box-smelled the fragance of the muffins.
The flavours were all kept mysterious, but the chocolate ones were snatched up/
I took one muffin, tasted it
AND GOSH IT WAS MY FAVOURITE
BANANA MUFFIN!
Yum!
There was a small slice of banana in the centre of the cake
haiz should have put more slices
love banana muffins X3
eugenia lianne and i stayed back for a while,
to help mr aw with the MYSTERIOUS ITEM that the P6s seniors were sneaking up on in the store room.
Joseph Kirk and Nicholas each wrote a message
when they were done
eugenia and lianne and i did all the wash up and got into out sleeping bags.
thanks Jia Hui for helping us save space!(:
woke up a total of five times in the night =.=
--------------------------
Woke up at 4.27am
Then turned and tossed until 6am.
You can imagined how bored i was
1h33mins doing nth XD muahahaha.
But there was one occasion when i got up and walked to my bag
to take tissue
cos my throat felt dry and itchy and my nose felt kind of blocked and uncomfortable.
then no more water already.
Took one tissue, and cleared my throat all the way until 6am,
went to the toilet,washed up and drank from the water cooler.
Then morning exercise.
Compass Star jumps, 8 rounds round the parade square, jogging on spot, and lots of stretching and breathing exercises.
delicious breakfast followed!
Egg sandwiches (or some may say, sardine sndwiches) and hot piping milooooo.

RHAPSODY EVENING!
yep, the highlight of the whole band camp(:
Miss Chan selected the 3 groups to perform their Musical Item- Ralph, Alfred(:and Ed

then dinner
prepared for rhapsody evening
Jia Hui and I as Masters of Ceremony.
(GOOD JOB JIAHUI!!!!(:)
Then emceed our way until the main band performance
And then the musical items performance.
That was a nice introduction you have Douglas(:
Well during the audition to pick 3 groups, our group (ALFRED!) volunteered to start first.
Douglas then made his way infront (much to my puzzlement)(is there such word?)
And started his entering speech!
He thought ofthat speech himself! i didn't ask him to do anything! i was just as shocked!
