The movie event of the year! Titled: Sembawang Boys Camp...Get ready..Starring Thumbelina and the 5 kaypohs
On Sunday (2 Dec), Jianwen (the organiser of games for the coming boys camp), Rabin, Chin Han, Daisy and I (game masters) met up at Sembawang Park to recce the grounds and choose the sites for the games that we would be playing in the December camp to be held on the 12 to 14. Sembawang Park turned out to have quite a few patches of land but most of the ground had lots of slopes. So, it ended up that we could only hold our games in a few places. The flatest piece of land we could find was chosen to be the location for games such as soapy tug-of-war and modified captain's ball while the largest field which had trees in it was chosen for games such as the obstacle course and water bomb. We wanted to have as much variety as possible in the locations for our games and even planned to have one of the games on the beach itself but changed our minds when we saw that it was around 2 metres wide. We finally decided the better option would be to hold one of our games on the path along the beach.
Our group then made our way to the Boys' Brigade and Girls' Brigade Campsite (accomodation for the camp). The campsite has a pretty large field with a scary looking obstacle course at the back of it.We decided to hold some of our games in this field. After we had finalized the locations for our games, we decided to check out the rooms that we would be staying in. All the rooms we walked by had the windows shut, curtains drawn and door locked, therefore, we couldn't see the inside of the rooms. Everyone agreed that the place had an eerie feel to it (this was when we were checking the place out with the sun shining brightly... so it looks like the nights we will be spending at the camp will be pretty exciting... ). While checking the rooms, we came across a small hall in the corridor. We were quite happy to see that we could have a space to play some games if it rained. We then made our way up to the third floor, where the NTU volunteers would be staying, and this was where we found a room with the windows opened. Jianwen stuck his hand through the window to pull aside the curtains and we saw that the room had double decker beds. Just as we were discussing that it would be impossible to shift the beds from one room to another we heard some angry shouts from below. Apparently, the security uncle was furious with us for trespassing the property. This was because we had not informed anyone that we were there. All of us quickly rushed down, apologised to him and got out of the place.
Although our recce session didn't end too pleasantly, all of us were still excited about the fun we would have with the games during the camp. Well, i'm looking forward to the 12 of Dec and hopefully the rest of the volunteers will be too : )
