Back from New York/Washington finally!
Photos are not yet uploaded, and I'm still getting used to typing - I've not typed in a week. Anyway I also need to practise my piano, because if I don't, I will get very very screwed. The last thing on my mind is surprisingly homework, but I seriously can't be bothered. I've done my Mathematic TA, but not my Chinese homework. I can't stand to do it. Ok technically I didn't DO the Math TA, because Andrew mostly did the work. Sorry Andrew -.- Punishment: No more grouping with him anymore...
I brought back with me presents, experiences, and memories. Wonderful memories.
We actually had a standing ovation at the Carnagie Hall!!! When Mr Sze got to the stage with the other conductors, he looked a little vertically-challenged. Definitely not that much but it got some of the Secondary 2s laughing. Lol.
Day 0
The aeroplane flight took like a few days. Crap. Almost one week later I still don't know how I survived the plane flight. It was like, how long, reaching New York. The only thing I enjoyed, was most definitely the food. :) SIA food rocks my world. You get what, in the morning wonderful hashbrown, huge eggs coated with cheese and egg yolk, heavenly bacon, a bun, honeydew, rock melon, yoghurt, YUM YUM YUM.
Day 1
Upon reaching New York via Frankfurt, we started walking around after checking in into our hotel. We went to the Museum of Modern Art.
After a voting session, we had a undisputed decision - get out of MoMA. I mean, Modern music - intolerable.
Modern Art? - Forget it.
We went to Rockefeller Centre and viewed New York from the 50th storey. Very nice. :)
Times Square was like the same as in the movies, the huge billboard with MnM's world behind it, and lots and lots of shops and people.
Basically New York was as it was on TV, those sewage holes with smoke coming out of them, quite some rubbish around the dustbins, lots and lots of black marks on the floor of chewing gum, and yep, basically New York. If given a chance, I would actually live in New York. Just love it's busy attitude. :)
The main part at Carnagie Hall was a complete success. One of the best concerts in my life, and probably RISE's. A brilliant standing ovation, lots of cheers, and good audience. Just what Singapore lacks. Haiz.
AUdiences from overseas are much more open. Or rather people. Look at the girls in disco night. We had a disco in the cruise, and the American girls were all dancing like mad, with us Singaporeans basically being the shy people we always were and standing at one side. There was once where we actually joined in, almost a takeover, it was quite a couple of cool damn songs.
Just goes to show for me why listening to too much Beatles or Beegees is bad. I couldn't even stand or recognise ANY music, except for those classic ones. And one Beegees song actually played when I was leaving the boat with everyone - More than a Woman
But yep, after Carnagie the next day we went straight to Washington, visited Lincoln Memorial, the place where Martin Luther King made his famous speech. Very solemn place, although Haotian entirely made a fool of himself by laughing and falling onto the floor.
Please reflect, Haotian.
Moving on, I learnt many things in this trip. Adriel commented something which I agree, "The best way to know somebody is to travel with the person."
Quite true. No wonder there is a need for a honeymoon...
So, yep, we kicked ass for Singapore, and we did Singapore proud.
Of course, that's one for Singapore, one for RISE, and of course, one for Mr Sze.
Cheers!

First Day of Camp
After 3 days and 2 nights of RISE annual camp, I'm back, and I'm tired but in a fantastic mood.
RISE camp always gives me the same feeling, the way one whole bunch of us walk to j8 to eat, how we play soccer in the morning (8am-9am) and also sometimes in the evening (5-7pm). And how we would stay up so late in the night (1am-4am) to talk, chit-chat, play cards, play soccer in the classrooms and of course a night of wonderful softball in class at 1am :)
Day 1
I slept at about 1am the day before, considering how long I stayed in my Secondary 1 ACS cousin, JC 2 RJC girl cousin, and Maris Stella cousin's house. I went there at about 2pm and stayed till about 10.30pm. Crap man. I rushed home and started putting together the scoreboard that would stay in use throughout the entire camp, and my mum was busy packing for me. So that's one thank you.
Then a few hours after that I was in RI, and we were assigned our rooms at the S. Rajaratnam block. The feeling was still the same, AND the people were still the same, just that there were the extra Sec 1s. Because almost ALL of the Sec 4 2006 (currently JC 1 now) were in this camp. Shows how united we are. Seriously.
And so we cleaned up how rooms, because we would be staying there for the rest of camp.
Mr Sze started the room checks, to find bags which were unlocked and bags without locks. The EXCO swept through the rooms in S.R block while the rest and me were in the LT1, our rehearsal room for the rest of the camp.
Indeed they brought almost half a dozen bags, unlocked, no locks. So luggages were emptied, and the owners were humiliated -.-
John Lee actually opened up one of the suitcases and throwing out the underwears. Haiz, Sec 1 nowadays.
Rehearsal the rest of the time, soccer, more soccer, mcdonalds, and finally Night Games.
Day 1 Night Game was created by our conductor, Mr. Trevor Sze. And thinking about it like 5 days later, it's still really cool. It's called:
AROUND THE WORLD IN THREE HOURS
And aronud the whole RI campus in 3 hours, it was. Now there are seven continents in all, and the entire RI campus was divided into seven. He gave us this travel flight plan, this sheet of paper which has seven continents on the left, and seven continents on the top. So what is this for? It states the cost of going from one continent to the next.
For example:
Antartica Oceania Asia Europe North America South America Africa
Antartica X 10 20 40 55 10 15
Oceania X
Asia X
Europe X
North America X
South America X
Africa X
Heck you get the drift. Which means Antartica to Antartica zero cost. DUH.
Antartica to Asia, 20 bucks.
Yep, I forgot the entire travel plan and I can't place all the figures, so here goes. But anyway, our tribe, Green Team 2 got second in this Night Game. We started at the LT1 at exactly 8.00 and ended at 11pm.
Mr Sze gave us the clues as to where each continent where.
Antartica - Down South
North America - Up North
Asia - Residential
Africa - Savannah
Oceania - As the name suggests
South America - Learning
Europe - Inventions
The 'Ups' and the 'Downs' actually were for real. Down-South referred to the Lower Level of Dining Hall and Up-North referred to the Second level of Admin Block, all the way at the very top of RI. Which means the backgate there, with the busstop.
But anyway since the first continent we went to was for free, we immediately rushed to Oceania - the Swimming Pool, where the gamemasters Mr. Sze and Jonathan Liang from VJC were there. We were in fact third team, but our entire team was there, second team was sad-case.
First Challenge was to see who swim one lap of the Swimming Pool, 50m. Adriel (Sec 4) clocked faster than ShangXuan (Sec 3).
Second Challenge was to see which team dries the person up the fastest without using any clothings. So we used our hands and squeezed the water out of ShangXuan's clothes. We won on the second challenge thanks to our team spirit.
Third Challenge of Oceania was to do the Easter Island challenge. We divided ourselves into Male and Female crabs, and we had to climb down the stands of the Swimming Pool SIDE-WAYS, wet our heads in the water for the male, wet the butts for the female. I was one of the female crabs and I tell you, squatting down on the swimming pool is damn difficult.
Fourth Challenge was to tick the correct islands that can be found in Oceania. Mr Sze gave us a card with all the islands on it, and Jonathan Liang was kind enough to let us skirt through. :) There was one - Rovert Islands. Then we were like, possible, so we named it, but we screwed up. It's Trevor spelled upside-down.
The last Challenge was to finish up three cans of tuna, which we did delightfully. Yum yum. :) Fish.
We rushed next to Antartica, where Shawn Chang was the game master.
First Challenge was to eat ice-cubes - one whole carton of them. He poured the ice-cubes into one plastic box, where we stuffed our mouths with it. Ice-cubes to me tasted horrible. I mean, yuck, ice-cubes. Who wants to eat ice-cubes. We finished it.
Second Challenge was a total game of luck, we played for 15 minutes, before finally getting the correct card we wanted.
But alas, 15 minutes was too much. At 8.50, Shawn Chang received an SMS from Mr. Sze to say all those at Antartica will face bad weather because of the unforeseen circumstances. So anyone who is there 9.50 also gets it.
We waited for 10 minutes, 10 antagonizing minutes, before we headed for our next destination - South America.
Lizheng was Game Master there.
So we lost all first Challenge immediately - he asked all of us to take out our wallets and see how much money there was - we had a grand total of $180 in our pocket. Points deducted from that.
"Mr Sze told you'll not to bring so much money, now you're robbed because you're in South America."
And robbed we were. Our points were deducted by three I think.
The next challenge we had was the cheering one. We were supposed to form a cheer - we saw the other group do it - Hongrui's group, and they were like deciding for a while.
We already had a group cheer early in the morning - we formed on while we had a meeting with Yi Yang, our tribe leader.
We cheered the Greendian Cheer, and we got the full 10 points plus 2 for bonus, because it sounded good. :) And racist.
Our next destination was North America, where we had Remus and Samuel Lim as our Gamemasters.
First Challenge of North America was to drink Coke - The Land of Coke. I sipped a little, and suddenly it kind of like, tasted quite nice. Yunfei gulped the whole thing down, with Shangxuan and John Yu having similiar portions. Being a health freak I am, I didn't drink much.
Next was the Chicago Dog Dragging thing, where the two dogs were supposed to sit on newspapers while the humans dragged them. I volunteered to sit on the newspapers because I felt I wasn't really doing much, so I did, and Zhiyuan and Zhiyi were dragging me. Zhiyuan did a great job, but Zhiyi was rather lacklustre in performance thanks to the fats hanging down on his belly. My entire back was totally black thanks to the construction dust and more dust on the floor. I was dragged like about around the entire second level surrounding the LT1, which is probably about a 100 metres.
The third Challenge was to eat apples - the Big Apple. So Remus and Samuel took out one carton of apples, in which Zhiyuan readily bit one whole apple, and ShangXuan was basically OWNING, like literally owning the apples. He was like...don't know some pro apple eater, just basically finished two in less than a minute. I couldn't eat the apples thanks to my front tooth, and just a few weeks ago the dentist told me to almost totally avoid eating apples or rather use my side teeth (between the canines and the molars) to eat.
We got 6 points for that, while most teams only got 2 or 3.
THe last Challenge was to name and match the initials of the state to the state name itself - LA - Los Angeles, and much harder ones. Can't remember.
We went to Europe after that, and the GameMasters were JC2 JIngXun and JC1 Sam Tho.
Being EUrope - Science Block, we had to listen and identify music at the Austria section, smell and identify Perfumes in the French section, and match silhouettes of bats and bats in the Romanian section, and lastly identify capitals in the Misc section.
We rushed on to Africa - School Field - where we had to take off our T-shirts, and mummify ourselves. We got a terrible 2 for that. We then had to line up, 4 of us, and sing note-by-note the Queen of Sheba, one note for each of us. We got a 3 for that I think. Horrible.
THe third Challenge was for the flip-the-cards-n-match one, that one we scored 6.
And lastly, we had the Battle of the Colours, we had to produce a certain colour on our body when stated. So it was like, "yellow" - then everyone finds a certain colour on their body.
The very last continent was Asia, where I had to do a Geisha Face Painting, my whole face was covered with white, and then followed by Vietnam Tunnel Crawl, where we had a row of chairs and all of us had to crawl under the chairs. Damn tough. Like seriously. Then the final challenge was the Dart Blowing one, where we had to blow bean seeds and try to reach a distant target.
Then the entire team had to rush back to the first continent that we went to, and that was Oceania at the swimming pool. Once approved by Mr. Sze, we rushed back to the LT1 where we had a bonus 4 minutes to spare. That's four bonus points.
But at the end of the day, they calculated the points the next day, and we got second. Good job, Greendia 2!
And that's only the first day -.-
RISE camp always gives me the same feeling, the way one whole bunch of us walk to j8 to eat, how we play soccer in the morning (8am-9am) and also sometimes in the evening (5-7pm). And how we would stay up so late in the night (1am-4am) to talk, chit-chat, play cards, play soccer in the classrooms and of course a night of wonderful softball in class at 1am :)

Dental, Kindness, and Team Spirit
And yes how I seriously wish MEP Camp could go on...and on without the workshops.
Special thanks to these people:
From the MGS camp - Marisa, Hilary, Cheryl
From the ACS camp - Timothy, Chuanxi, Kapilan, and Jackson
From the RI camp - Zhiyi, Zhiyi, Zhiyi
Probably among the best days I had!
Today I went for a dental check-up. My gag reflex kicked in during the 3 X-rays I had. The male nurse placed this blue plastic spiky straw in my mouth to keep it open, then asked me to bite very hard, and "don't open! Close your eyes!" He ran behind this shield wall and the machine went "BEEP!"
So the whole process repeated three times, and by the third time my eyes were filled with tears from the gagging. But I knew how to control the reflex already though.
After the whole talk with my doctor Dr. Andrew and the nurse I went outside for the confirmation of my next appointment. Then I had a long debate with my mother in full view of the receptionist and the other patients.
"Can't have it on Wednesday! I have my rehearsals!"
"Where got rehearsal on Wednesday one huh? I need proof of your rehearsal!"
"But no, not Monday Wednesday Friday. Nurse, can you give me on 2 and 4s only"
"No Nurse, anytime also can"
"No Nurse, 2s and 4s. Yes, Tuesdays and Thursday. No Mondays Wednesdays Fridays"
"..."
"No Mondays Wednesdays Fridays"
Meanwhile the Nurse turns head to and fro from me to my mum.
We finally settled on September the 6, which was quite amusing for the Nurse because it's so far away.
Happens to be my mom and dad's wedding anniversary!
Then we proceeded to OG, when upon noticing the guy's badge at the entrance upside-down, I felt disturbed.
We continued walking around People's Park for satin, but it was SOOooo boring, and almost everyone I saw were old people. Excluding my mum.
I went back to the entrance guy and I told him that his badge was not correctly placed. He had this to say.
"I know, I just don't want people to see my name or else they will complain about me."
"Huh?" (Music of Beegees's Nights on Broadway plays)
"Later people see my name then complain about me."
...SO this guy has complaints against him? Weird.
He continued in a not-so-jokingly tone. "No lah, just kidding. Thanks anyway"
"Hey ok no problem."
FOllowing that I got a scolding from my mum about being so kay-poh. What? Was I doing any wrong? Besides right beneath his name tag was a "Be Kind Singapore" orange circular badge. Around those lines lah. But anyway, how ironic.
Now I know why ACS(I) beat RI in rugby, or in any other sports. That's because in ACS(I), they're camaradarie is very strong. In case people don't know what camaradarie means, it means team spirit. Probably like espirit' de corp.
To all Rafflesians: We're too focused on acheiving our own goals till we do not bother about the feelings of others anymore. We must strengthen our friendships, our team spirit, our school spirit. There is no more Rafflesian Spirit, only the Thinker, Leader, and the Pioneer.
This is the only thing we must improve before we can go on to triumph over other schools. The technique is there, the spirit is not!
Rafflesians, let's rise to the call!
