ACE Kluang 2006 Camp II Part I

ACE KLuang 2006 Camp 2 Part I 31-3 Nov

Got some info beforehand about the camp this yr from gabriel
Was told that instructors sucked...
Alot of mud instructors...
Keep away especially from Gaffa the F** malay instructor...
Instructors all damn firce keep kana scolded...(scared scared)
Always rain...

Anyway...
Met in school at the canteen
received our ACE shirt and Hat
I got the largest(as usual) and it FITted...WOW...just to add...the shirt this yr is damn cool...I love it...the hat was a little too small...XD but it still FITted
The Japanese-looking ACE hat
The cool looking ACE shirt...I wont tell u how many Xs.....XD

changed into the ACE outfit
filled in the white card
proceed to track where all the campers are...
was assigned to Bus Hippo...bus of 208...wahahaha...
Teacher accompanying Aaron Goh
Was the third or fourth bus to leave...
Instructor Bear was with us....he cracked some jokes..he seems very good...but then he said...u laugh...see what happened in the camp later....ooohhh...
Bear was quite F**..thought he was the one gab mentioned...luckily he's not....
passed through the Singapore custom at TUAS second link
then the malaysia side customs..
The Movie on board was "Rambo"...not bad...but i fell asleep
Figured out that sleep was more important...
4 tiring days are awaiting for me....
Was told that our Singapore passport could fetch as much as $5000 in the black market...WOW
Must take good care of it man....
On board the bus..Aaron goh was doing all the job....
a little bit paiseh...the ACEs(ace leaders) didnt do anything...oops...
giving out passports...
on board the bus....
Cam whore...(the one on the left) LOL

As the campsite got nearer...
Memories started filling in....
Happy,sad,sweet,bitter and everything...
Drove into Institute of Haiwan our campsite...
Its freakin big...
If i remembered correctly it was around half the size of singapore...WOW
Was the first bus to arrive...reason..cos i was inside...lol..
Took the tent gab suggested...
put everything inside zipped up and went back to assemble...
Waited for the whole camp to arrive..damn long....
anyway i was in charge of FRAT which stands for Fraternity which means brotherhood....
was sabo-ed...became the overall in charge of FRAT
my the other two leaders...Mathias and Dickson....
once everyone settled down...assembled at the longhouse...was briefed and everything...
the camp was introduced to "HORNET"
then was lunch as usual with the flies for company...
Activities begin....
Today was Rakit(rafting)...
Got my force to change
ACEs didnt change ourselves...XD...
Didnt want to get into the "milo" pool...
Chien ming and Aaron was in charge of Rafting...
Bro. Jason was FRAT's teacher-in-charge...
The first and only activity he tagged along....
Saw Gaffa...(scared scared)
He turned out ok....
was quite fun...
very funny too...
To us ACEs only i guess...
dont understand why Gab and many others from camp 1 said that they sucked...
my force wanted to sabo us...
they told Gaffa that they didnt bring their water bottles cos we didnt tell them...
So Gaffa told us to be in push up position...
then he ask us why didnt we....
Dickson replied: The camp commandant briefed them at the start of the camp...
Wahahaha...so he told us to resume...now FRAT goes down....serves them right...lol...
So in the process of rafting...my force was "seasoned" to "hornet"
Learning how to tie knots....
Gaffa imparting his wisdom to the campers
Building
Tightening and fasting...
Testing the structure...
Into the water...so far so good...
Oh...falling....arrrrrggghh.....
Struggling.....
Still struggling....

For ur info they didnt capsize at last...
Why?
Because they are from FRAT....
After that they had river crossing.....
no pictures...cos i was helping out....
If u noticed...gaffa is in long sleeves...
He asked us (ACEs) why do we think he is in long sleeves...
U are scared of sunburnt???
He said no....
He then rolled his sleeves up a bit...
guess what????
Tattoo...
his arms are full of tattoo...
thats why he needs to be in long sleeves...
He also told us he a yellow ribbon guy....
He actually opened up to us...
that aint easy for everyone...
I mean actually telling ppl such private stuffs...
Is it an attempt to scare us???
I dont think so...
Its just affinity i guess...
He only told us..(me mathias and Dickson)
Other ACEs didnt know...
I dont know whether its right to say this here but i felt strongly to type it out...
I m sure he doesnt mean...
The willingness to open up shows that he have changed for the better...
He has turned over a new leaf....
And i m proud of him....

Ok a little too emo...
So after that was SHOWER time...
Shower not bath...
So that means its very fast...
and i made sure it was...
2-3 minutes per person...
I dont think they wish to stay in there too long either...
I have a watch...but i chose to roughly gauge the time....lol
I bet ppl in the longhouse could hear me "screaming"....lol
"Time's up....."
"Out ....NOw"
If they still dont want to come out i will then proceed to plan B
Turn the lights off....
" Oi............"
" Come out now !!!!!"
"Bang!!! Bang!!!"

After that was dinner time...
Cant rmb whats for dinner...
Every meal is just the same to me...
food with irritaitng flies and syrup drinks...
After that it sort of rained...so cant have reflections out in the open...
So we have got to go into the different tents and conduct reflections...
I took 2 tents and did reflections...
had their cooperation....was quite well done...
Was late for ACE meeting cos i was doing reflections...
When I was about to run up the slope...
2 boys approached me...
told me something about vandalism with suntan lotion...
I was already late....couldnt bother much....i told them to find me later...i need to "fly" now
After that was ACEs meeting with bernard teo at the toilet....
Yes..toilet...fine lar...toilet area....still it was not a very good location for a meeting...

Then the Drama came rolling in....
We finished our meeting then we were walking to the long house...wanting to laze around...
then suddenly...an announcement was made...
the whole camp is to fall in in front of the long house at once
We were puzzled...
totally clueless...
then bernard teo adopted a very serious tone....
i was like...oh....something really bad happened....
so it was a SLASHING incident....
Slashing of tents...
With a Knive...not a jack knive that everyone have...a real knive...
how they know???? the slash is jaggered...
a few tents were slashed...
there were even ppl in the tents when its slashed...
in one incident...a person's head was just a few centimetres away from the slash...
imagine if the "slasher" would to slash another few cm nearer....
OMG.....its an SJI camp....
Its the first night..and this happen....
What a GREAT start to a camp....
One by one suspects were called up to the long house...
for???? for interrogation...
interrogation that really looks like an interrogation...
torch shine at their face real close...
shouts could be heard even when the door is closed...
those innocent ones were forced to SQUAT and heads down....
LIKE criminals....WTH...
Luckily ACEs were spared from the squatting...but we didnt dare to sit...
so it went on and on....
new names were shouted...
and new figures went up the long house....
noticed a pattern...
alot were from 201 and 202...
how ironical...
the supposedly most "guai" class....
an hour went by....
investigations were still going on...
ppl were tired of squatting...
some sitted down...
tried to turn a blind eye to them...
I KNOW its tiring...
Instructors came by and shouted....
" ACEs make sure every single one of them squat properly....if not U squat"
Ok...i seriously dont want to squat...
Many others too....
So we were FORCED to ensure that everyone is squatting...
I know u wont believe it...but i felt the pain seeing them squat...
I think the teachers realised it...
They made them stand....
Thats much better...
another hour passed...
Bro. mike and Mr lui were informed....
Nathan threatened to call the police if the culprit still doesnt turn up...
that was not the only incident....
vandalising the tents with suntan lotion
and possessing a lighter and threatening to burn down tents...
what happen to the sec 2s this yr man...
this dragged on to around 1am...
in the end...force by force were sent down to clear their tents...and bring everything up
all jack knives and sharp objects were surrendered...even nail clippers...
all the bags were placed in front of the long house...
they only got to bring their sleeping bags anf water bottles down to sleep..
ACEs bags were left in their tents...
then it was sleep time and sentry duty...
no duty today so went to sleep...
Darren Qingwei Richard and timothy together with Dickson and Mathias was in my tent....
2 big ppl in my tent....call darren to "go away"...he dont want...
surprisingly it was not as squeezy as i thought it will be....
