Don't think, just do it

Day 2 of Camp

Day 2 was when the fun began. Actually, I wouldn't call it fun. It was more like excitement and adrenaline rushing through my veins the whole day. After an ok toast and not ok cereal breakfast, my class headed to the rope course. It's like ropes hanging in the sky and you have to walk on it. My partner JG and I had to wait a long time for the gear to come around. When it did, she went first. She's very adventurous and told me to challenge her so she wouldn't regret it. But when I shouted my head off and told her to walk backwards or at least let go of one of the ropes she was holding onto, she did not listen. It was really funny cos she said "when I come down I'm gonna kill you because you're not persuasive enough!"

When I did it I finally understood her inability to challenge herself. It was so scary!! When you're up there you just shouldn't think. That's what I did. I just kept on going. I wasn't going to go on the highest level but my classmates convinced me and I did. When it was time for my turn on the flying fox, I ran off the take-off area. That way there wasn't time for my brain to react and command my body to stop.

Next up was archery. It was fun the moment I grasped the trick, which was pull your hardest. From then on I had a lot of fun hearing 'ooh's and 'ahh's whenever our team hit the target. We then went winning the competition, do which we were rewarded dinner kitchen duty and a palm-sized ice cream. Kitchen work was actually really fun!! The dish-washing machine was so cool but so hot so it kept 'fogging' my glasses up, which when someone heard they thought I said a rude word.

The night wasn't very fun. Abseiling gave me a big purple bruise on the knee and the teacher was so intimidating. The only fun part of it was i got to dress up in their gear and I felt like my motherly side came out. Night activity that the camp place organized was pretty lame. We basically just ran around hysterically like monkeys.

After that we went back to the cabins and celebrated a friend's birthday. When she was just about the open her perfume present, someone said to her, "Apparently it stinks." It was a statement said with a smile and responded with a laugh but it stung my heart. I don't think I want to organise another birthday because I don't want to keep spending a lot of time and brainpower picking presents that 'stink'.

We slept at 2 in order to play strip poker and watch a 'classic' horror movie called 'the Shining'. I don't recommend it unless if you like really slow movies with super long conversations. But what did make me happy was I finally watched Lion King. JL has been obsessed with it for ages and I have been meaning to watch it again since the last time I saw it was back in 1st grade and it was dubbed in Chinese. It was really good! I thought Nala really looked like JL and Zazu's voice sounded like JG's.

The funniest bird in the whole wide world

Has the same 'W' mouth as JL

Everyone agrees that I'm exactly like Ed, a sidekick hyena who has some kind of mental problem. He keeps laughing non-stop and eats his own arm. Ok maybe don't bite my arm but I do laugh for no reasons and make ridiculous faces.

There he is on the left!
