guitar camp was a BLAST!
haha okok, at least the bbq was. ((:
the whole camp, from beginning:
26/12 - prac, lunch prac, captain's ball, badmintion
(but left early, so didnt play the interactive games with them)
27/12 - prac, lunch, prac
yeah i agree that these 2 days dont really look like much fun
but it's cos we really need time to prac as we wont hav so much time to come tgt once sch reopen.
there are some interesting things to note though.
- there's a grace period of 15min for late comers, anyone later than tt pays a FINE of $2
- on the 1st day alicia accidentally knocked over poor Jocelyn's Lor Mee so she had to survive on her poh piah. i helped her clean up aft tt (:
- i finally found out the(short-term) solution for my unable-to-read-tuo-geh (music notes) problem! - TABS! haha i went to print tabs for every song except El Bimbo, despite the constant nagging from Esther & XiaoYou
- Kevin's friend - Dengz (how to pronounce?!) chose Alicia, XiaoYou, ChengYi & me to play percussion! so i now play the shaker & this turn turn thing, [ i dont really know wat's it called but will post up pictures later, so maybe someone can help me ID it (: ] which is super hard to control! & i keep dropping the instruments! >.<>
- New songs we playing: In a Childhood, Close to You & JingHuan's fav - Can You Celebrate
then came the most fruitful day:
28/12 - prac, lunch, bus ride, HOME, bbqwe prac guitar for abt 1 hour plus,
then the few of us went to prac percussion for another 1hour plus.
as we were practising outside the LT, the choir ppl walk past.
yup got: ChinYi, Yu, ZhouFei, ZhengWei, RuiXian, JingCheng, etc.
they were like HUH? until they realise we is guitar club de.
then we went in to combine with the ppl.
cos 4 of us all guitar 1 de, so the melody became quite soft.
i was fumbling with the instruments, and trying hard to find the beat and keep to it,
but very hard lor, cos they also not consistent de.
then suddenly i drop the shaker!
HongSheng & DeJian started laughing like mad. *bash them*
haha but it was quite funny lah.
i resolved to prac percussion at home!
helped pack the guitars,
ChengYi couldn't find her guitar cos someone took hers & left one of the same model there.
[ i realise sometimes the seniors jus use any guitar they see leh. not like us, always use back our own one. ]
went for lunch.
queued for Ipoh Hor Fun.
then HongSheng was like saying look like dog food. SUAN ME?! #*%$!@
i was FORCED to sit with HS & DJ cos the girls table got no space. Humph.
ZhengWei & RuiXian came over to say hi.
then JingHuan decided to follow HS, DJ & i take 111
(they didnt know can take to Dhoby Ghaut leh! wad can they do w/o me man. HehHeh. )
we had a really 'interesting' bus ride.
[ GRACE Assembly of God -.- ]
i volunteered to help Varlerie collect the files she ordered for us
but the Popular staff find so long but still couldnt find the order
make me wait so long tt i was late meeing Esther they all at Pasir Ris Mrt
anyway JingHuan was even (much) later.
so we walked (to be exact, strolled) to the BBQ pit
acutally quite easy to find leh (:
the atomsphere was gd once we get going.
the fire was hot, us Year 4s cooked the food.
[ maybe cos we UG de? used to it. haha ]
there was a bit of rain but we covered it with kevin's super big umbrella.
we were cooking half way when HS & DJ strolled in..
by the time they came it was super dark liao lor.
then they said they went to the spider web place,
which is so far away!
LOL lor they. 1 blur HS leading the even more sotong DJ walk so far off.
made us laugh & laugh.
fire was super hot,
so we took turns tending the fire.
got this couple came with guitars & sung to ask for donation.
oh Samuel started with the Sambal Sotongs,
then i started to get everyone to share stingrays with me. VERY NICE!
then Bed started this crazy of putting mashmallows on the wire mash.
it tasted REAL GOOD!
oh then HongSheng become the 'Satay-Man'
while PingYan become the 'Bread-Man' -
面包超人!
Samuel then came up with this invention of
'
黑白配' - which is to spread white mashmallow on black bread
and it turned out to be quite nice!
cos Bed, Jocelyn (Lek) & a few others cycled their way here mah,
so got a few bikes.
Jocelyn took me on the back seat along the track!
except tt i cant see anything, so i screamed when jocelyn did & the whole bike got quite unstable,
but got breeze & everything, nice. THANKS JOCELYN! (:
YUM!~ this is one of the few BBQs tt i ate until so full.
the stingays were super good! ((:
ohh and we took lots of grp photos.
[cos JingHuan anyhow snap, haha ]
but we got someone from the other pit to take for us.
their dog seemed super angry at us though.
the Year 4s wanted to go home tgt,
the guys waited for a long time cos the girls were waiting for Jocelyn to come back from sending JingXuan home
but last we were on our way.
wah along the way we crap a lot lor!
like super loudly kind leh.
but anyway no one to disturb at Pasir Ris park.
Super Random stuff like JingHuan's 'Can you celebrate' nightmares & 'Sun rise the EAST'
HAHA. JingHuan was claiming we bullying her.
i still think it's HongSheng lor.
he's a bad guy ppl, stay away from him. haha.
we almost kindof walked in the wrong direction,
until Samuel & i noticed it.
then we went on the correct path,
but i realise it was different from the one we took.
but it's ok la. still lead to the same place anyway (:
walked to the MRT,
where we shared a bottle of 1.5L water cos everyone was thirsty
(5 ppl, 40cents each. haha.)
then we talk lots on the MRT.
[ i was standing cos my stomach very 'small' need slowly digest. (: ]
yupyup, though the Year 5s + Kevin + Teachers & Year 4s didnt interact much,
(except PingYen who was there with us toasting bread & mashmallows)
i think this BBQ is a really successful one!
[even though there's was no butter, not enough drinks & too much food]
although i was super full,
we had so much fun tt i can laugh my head off lah!
haha here's a bing
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS BBQ A SUCCESSFUL ONE! a pity XiaoYou & Grace cant come.
we shld organise another one! (:
