Crossroads Camp!

| Posted on Sunday, Jun. 08, 2008 at 12:18 AM

EDIT: My new blog layout is so Frida Kahlo right now. The flowers took me a million years.
It was early in the morning on Wednesday that we left off to head to Wombaroo. The bus ride was an hour and a half, but it went by fast by taking photos, singing, eating, playing games, listening to music etc.


Margarita & I

Once we got to the campsite it was pouring and freezing. At first our (cabin) group was totally confused but we raced to get our cabin, it was quite small but we couldn't complain because we got a spare bunk with nothing on it. We then met up in the main hall and was sorted into group and we started out activites. I was in group 6, with our first activitiy being Mountain Biking. I was totally hyped!!! Alistair & Roel(?), I'm pretty sure that's how you spell their names... Oh, they were the instructors and goshhhhh are they cute!!! All the girls would agree with me. Anyways, we rode around the campsite and they took us to this ramp where we could race and all.


Eyvette and her KILLER PONCHO!


Paul racing on the bike

After the tiring mountain biking, we were taken back to the hall to rest and then have our talk about drugs. LOL, while we were resting Seilla was drying his dirty socks on the Fireplace, disgusting.


Armin & I. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE BIGGEST WEDGIE, ASSHOLE.

We had our talk about drugs with Mr. Kitteringham, and that's where I discovered Seilla has hair on his feet. *shivers* I tried plucking it all out, but it hurt him too much. AHAHHA. And as Mr. Kitteringham asked us for honest answers on whether we tried Ice, Magic Mushrooms, Tobacco etc. Lucky framed me. Grrr. After we finished I think we had lunch. I ate my sandwich, then Khanh & I ate Vee's Fried Rice. Yum.


Khanh & I

After doing Strategic Planning (Builing blocks of foundations & Crossing the Nile River) we had spare time until the Slabface performance at 8PM after dinner. So while the other groups had dinner I had a shower along with Margarita & Cathy. It was quite hilarious because Margarita got her periods and as she was showering she said "Nothing's coming out!" and "Rowena don't freak out if you see my blood." After the shower we went back to our cabin were we relaxed.


LOL, Cathy starring in Texas Chainsaw Masacre 2. *knocks on wood*


Cathy receiving a massage from Margarita, LOL damnit this got us late to Slabface.

Well Slabface was a stand up comedian, totally hilarious bloke. After the performance Khanh told me to shove these dirty tissue into the girls toilet and see their reaction, I felt like puking myself when I did this.


LOL, when Arbella walked in "OH MY GOD, HOW DISGUSTING!" TOTAL CRACK UP. (Shhhh. Nobody knows I did that.)

Ummm, then we brushed our teeth and headed back to our cabin to bed. I think we were all too tired and just chatted in the dark and fell asleep. I knocked out first after Jessica Qi. LOL. In the morning when we woke up Margarita & I headed to the bathroom to brush our teeth and head off to breakfast. There wasn't eggs, damnit. So all I ate was toast, it's still good. Went back to cabin to get ready for activities.

Met up at the hall with the grade, went with our groups. Group 6 was doing the Team Initiative which involved stepping all over Kangaroo shit which I got pissed about. We did this number game where we were blindfolded and then some lantern game. I hated the wet weather, it like... never stopped raining. After the activity, I sat in the cabin eating my apple pissed at the world. But I got over it.


Margarita's big boobies!


LMFAOOOOOO, cathy reenacting the scene of Margarita falling onto Vee's bottle with the cap going up her ass. TOTALLY HILARIOUS.


Who's is the cleanest?

I have really bad memory. But I remember my camera died after taking a luvo with Margarita and I put my battery to charge and when I came back our electricity blew because some people overused it a few cabins down, not mentioning names. DAMN YOU PEOPLE, because of yous I only took 100 photos.

OOOHH, we had lunch which was a hot dog I think. Then my group had the Giant Swing and the Vert. Cluster. Both were so fun, I beat Bona in the Vert. Cluster. Seilla got his balls caught in the harness. AHAHHAA. On the Giant Swing, it was so fun. I wish I could do it again. Lucky, the pussy wouldn't let go of the rope but everyone else did. AHHAHAA. After that, I had a shower because I felt dirty and headed to dinner. After dinner Margarita & I headed back to our cabin and got ready for the Karaoke and Disco!!!

We got dressed and all and at 7:30PM teachers were knocking at our doors to head down to the hall. Karaoke was so FUCKING fun! It went off and everyone was so into it. Everyone who was selected gave it a go, nobody backed out. Then we had disco which was dj'ed by Simon, the disco was so awesome. Danced our way till midnight with disgusting sweat down my back. LOL, Cathy said to me "It looked like you just had a shower." Whatever, it was awesome, and Dili is kinky.

Headed to bed and knocked out completely because I was so tired. Ended up waking up at 7:50AM which was ten minutes till breakfast. After breakfast, got ready and headed off with our groups. This time we did the Flying Fox and High Ropes. Flying Fox wasn't so great, I regret not going upside down. :( I was so chicken climbing up there and that's why I didn't ask for it. Gahhhhh. And Armin fucking lifted me up by my harness trying to give me wedgies, which I couldn't exactly give him payback for. I also gave Armin, Lucky & Paul massages because I'm so nice. For High Ropes, I did the beginners one without letting go of the rope in fear of slipping off the log then the instructor stopped me half way in mid air and made me sing and perform "I'm a little Teapot" LOL.

Then after those two short activities, we headed back to our cabins to pack our luggages and head off for lunch. We had hot dogs and we just ended up playing with the Walky Talkies and rolling on logs. Then we got our luggages and headed onto the bus. Ohhhh, and I can't forget. I HUGGED ROEL. And he came to me with open arms first. :D The bus we went on had a dickhead bus driver which strictly wouldn't let us have our bags/food/lollies/drinks with us without paying him a $365 fine. Dickhead. But I got over it, because I planned to sleep my way throughout the ride anyways. Which I did, with my mouth opened and Vee took a photo of me. Gahhhh. Then after we returned to school, I got picked up and went home and knocked out on my bed.

But man, camp went by too fast. It was enjoyable despite the bad weather.I do believe I have got a lot more out of camp. I'm much closer to those that I haven't been with before, I've seen everyone at their worst (BAHAHAHA) but most of all I think I've gained a more positive attitude with obstacles (excluding shit). I feel happy with myself in what I've succeeded in the past 3 days.

Time to DRABC my blog

| Posted on Sunday, Jun. 01, 2008 at 9:23 PM

The thought of blogging is dreadful, boring and totally not interesting to me anymore. I feel like I need a change, something to look forward in life. I don't look forward to the 5 days of school, then I also don't look forward to weekends because I have work. I need transition. I haven't blogged lately because I've been lazy and I had my half-yearlies week just last week, which I found totally exhausting because of the early mornings and late nights. Prepare for a long blog entry.

Well, on Monday I only had one exam- Economics. I think I did okay *knocks on wood*. After that, I decided to go to the school library and 'study', then my dad called me and told me my mum's coming in to pay my school fees and he offered to take me home. I said no, then I changed my mind and wanted to go to Cabramatta library along with Cathy. So when we were paying, Cathy & I observed that Mrs. Seto was wearing the school woolen jumper. I've never seen staff wear the uniform other than Mr. Bury last year. Mrs. Seto looked like a student who has repeated for the past 30 years.

My dad then dropped Cathy & I at Cabramatta library. We sat down and Cathy immediately started to complain about her hunger and her lust for Hungry Jack's pudding. Cathy Nguyen then decided to come and join us, and started to complain about how she can't study in the library. We went to go eat at that restaurant in the TKK building. After eating we went to Submerge and just browsed around... I'm so getting those Mossimo flats. Then Cathy N. went home and Cathy V. & I went to the library to continue our study... I think we started to talk about work; how sick we are of it and how to quit. We went home around 7pm.

Oh yeah, in the library people were selling chocolates and Cathy bought a packet of All Natural's lollies and well, she dropped one and stabbed it with her pen. How gronk. She then thought of a strategy for me to remember 'Viscosity' which refers to the 'stickiness' of a fluid and the resistance to move (it's harder to move in water than air). "Viscosity is when ____ eats a lolly it is sticky." Then Cathy shoved the gronk lolly in my bag without me noticing until a while later, we then turned this into a game which we call 'Viscosity'. We both continuously hide it into each other's stuff without letting the other find out, and in 15 years time I shall mail it to her mailbox or give it to her as a wedding present. LOL.




Referring to the photo above is Cathy's strategy for motivation to study for Physics, let's call it Target & Aim your competitors.

On Tuesday I had two exams- English in the morning, and Biology in the middle of the day. I was honestly more concerned about Biology, infact I basicly remembered all my notes (24 pages); I made Deric (my little brother) test me in the morning in exchange to turn on the television for him. But when he tested me he had no time to watch television. Ha! So I went to school so desperate to do the Biology exam... but we had English first. I failed, I know... gahhh. After English I was revising my notes, totally stressing myself out because I might blank in the test. Cathy N. totally wasn't motivated to study, so I got Chrissy to test Khanh & I. When we went to the exam hall, Khanh gave me a slap in the face because I was bright red and was gonna hyperventilate. That bitch. The exam went on, and it was pretty easy. I think I did well. *knocks on wood* After the exam when teachers collect the papers I was constantly starring around at other students in the hall and if they smile that did good. I looked at Khanh and he was smiling a hell lot, almost like he was gonna laugh. When we were allowed to leave the hall Khanh told me that he ___ _ ______ and was trying to ____ __ with ___ ______ and that's why he was smiling so much because he was concerned that _ ___ __. LOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLL.

After the exam I headed to the library where Bryan, Cathy & Chris were. Cathy decided to go home, so she gave me a lift home on the way. I got changed and went to IGA to hand in my Tax File No. then headed to Cabra library by bus. Cathy & Rebecca took the same bus as me, but they were going to Livo. Got to the library, sat down near Darithy, Tiffany & Darinna. Then Melain came and joined the lonered me so did Cathy. Obviously we got carried away, BLAH. Bought gum and Cathy was smothering it over her teeth and smiled. I followed on, but with Strawberry flavoured gum.



On Wednesday I also had two exams- Maths & Visual Arts. I failed Maths, I don't give a crap because I'm gonna drop it. Visual Arts I think I did okay *knocks on wood*, the first question had totally random and weird artworks... no offence. I just couldn't make much out of the three artworks to do with Brett Whiteley's artist practice. On the essay question I wrote three pages- I think I was the last person to finish. Whenever I looked up, everyone's starring at the clock. LOL... Also the import got told off afterwards for bringing in her study notes to her exam table. HAH! That's what you get for laughing at my pronunciation of 'Architect'...

After that, stayed in the library and 'studied'. Mr. Brown came to give us a serious talk about English... he told me dropping to standard is a serious thing I should consider. He then talked about scaling, HSC etc. Made the atmosphere... awkward afterwards as he left us with disappointment. He so totally makes me feel like an average student, but when I think about it I'm really not that great at English and he's right. Maybe I should drop to standard and achieve much better marks... Well after that, just headed home to relax as Thursday was my free day!!!


Oh yeah, Seilla made this as he was procastinating in the library trying to study for Visual Arts from Encyclopedias

On Thursday, it was my free day so Dili & I planned to go to DFO to shop for Camp stuff, though we got carried away with the bargains you can't refuse. I think the whole day, I spent around $150 (inc. food, transport). I went home pleased with the items I bought, but I am currently in a financial crisis.


These undies are so cheap- 3 for $10


TOP to BOTTOM: Davenport bra $15 reduced from $29.95, Cotton On bra $15 reduced from $25, Kissed by Lovable bra $15 from $29.95.


T2B: Just jeans blue shorts $5 reduced from $40, Mambo polka dot shorts $10 reduced from $60.


Both are from puma- the shorts were $15 and the trackies were $25. Oh, and that's my knee on the bottom corners.


This bargain was TOO good to miss- Hoodie priced at $5, reduced from $30. It was my regret to not buy more, goddamn.


Toe socks from Jay Jays $5, Headband from Cotton On $2.


Oh and when I went home my mum gave me this cardigan from Forcast called 'Korean Jacket'. Both my mum & I have this.

On Friday I only had Ancient History which was at the end of the day. So, I stayed at school to study in the library along with Thanh & Andrew while Julian was studying for French. Thanh photocopied my notes because he's a lazy ass and because my notes are good. :D Then Bryan came after his Physics exam and we went to the canteen to eat, then we decided to go to Tommy's to eat which Margarita came along with us. We got food and studied at Tommy's and headed back to school. We did our exam and everyone finished within half an hour with another half an hour to go, so Mr. Bury gave me scrap paper to draw. LOL. Then we got to go early, so Bryan made me walk my fat ass home. Then I went to work at 4PM-8PM (IGA).

On Saturday I had work from 8AM-2PM, because I swapped shifts with Sandy. I walked to IGA in the morning and oh my god it was freeeezing cold. Blah, work was gay. During my break I went to Cathy Nguyen's house and she got me sleepy. After work, my dad picked me up and my mum wanted to print photos at Domayne so we went. My mum purchased the Finepix Z10 for me because it's nearly my birthday and the camera was marked down from $300 to $147, then the sales assistance chucked in a free 1GB SD card because it's nearly my birthday. :D Oh my god, I love you mummy!

Although, it's not so great for serious professional photos it's still good. Easy to use and compact.





LOL, my first acceptable luvo with my new camera (for a bad hair day)

And as for today, I had work 9AM-4PM at Maccas. It's dreadful......... I'm so sick of it. I need a change, a life dramatic change. Oh yeah, expect my blog to undergo maintenance as I need a change for my blog also.

I'm almost 16!!! Hint, hint. Still confuzzled on what I should do.
