SO MAD.

GRRRR. Cannot believe I'm back after spending 1D1N in a supposed to be 4D3N Camelot camp in Pulau Ubin. Swear I've never felt more pissed than I was last night in camps ever?! Not even when I held a blood buffet for bed bugs and mozzies months back when I did this 3D2N camp in Exponent and it was so bad I had to see the doctor.  Wanna know what happened?
  • We were supposed to have a buddy system in most groups, like 2 instructors in a group because it's my first time doing a Pulau Ubin camp in company so it's gonna be different despite doing several camps in Singapore. Most of my friends have buddies in their group even those who have done camp in this company before because wellll I think because they haven't done Ubin camp for quite some time and it's a pretty big number of campers for a group. BUT! My buddy had to lead another group because that specific group's instructor didn't turn up for whatever reasons so I had to take the group alone. 28 13YO boys VS 1 20 YO newbie girl aka me. Can also? 
  • Still prefer Exponent's way of giving instructions.. way better. I don't know how this camp company works but I'm telling from my first time experiencing it. 
  • They have no proper room or space for Instructors to sleep.. We had to choose between pitching tents (Yes at 1ish midnight when they could have told us in the day when the kids were pitching so we could have used the time to pitch the tent with them instead of using our free time which is a few miserable hours and eating into our sleeping time) or taking the public space and tanning chairs to sleep. 
  • No proper place to charge our phones. I don't even know if it's alright that I'm charging my phone in their office which is like unlocked with doors wide open with no one inside?! Uhm there's this walking pavement outside where public can easily access?! Plus I just got this phone (Sorry la paranoid abit can) and it's pretty new so I don't even feel safe leaving it at a place I can't see AND at an unsafe place itself.
  • Shower was horrible. We had to use the public ladies and 1/4 of the shower rooms cannot be used. Either it's no shower curtain or there's no water supply. No heater and ya the kids get no heater too but they shower at like what, 6pm?! We shower at 1 fucking AM. Freeze to death lor? Okay nvm next about the shower facility. No hooks to hang our clothes or towels. And THE FUCKING SHOWER ROOM WAS CHOCKEDDDDD!! This is like that maximummm level already?! I can accept all the rest I complained above but seriously a chocked to some level with chalky water shower room? Like grey colour?! So what now? Might as well don't shower cause we use the water to clean ourselves, the water hits the flooded gross dirty water (with seawater, sweat, sunblock and whatever thing our bodies produce after 1 whole day under the sun in camp) and splashes back at us?!?!?!?! Can you fucking imagine how dirty the water is omg. 
  • Okay this point will be relevant to the previous point but because it was getting way too long so I decided to continue using another point. So anyhoos, besides the flood in the shower room, next we have the water power(? I don't know if it's called like that but I'm too pissed to google and search about it so you just listen and you'll understand) was so fucking weak that I actually used most of the time just washing the shampoo off my hair. I got so pissed I decided to not condition it. Pissed x2 with fucked up hair. OKay so after I was done showering.. I went out and found my shoes 1/4 soaked in the flooded gross water. YES IT FLOODED EVEN THE TOILET. Not the whole toilet tho, but the side? The grey colour water WAH pissed x3. So I tiptoed into the water and retrive my shoes.. only to accidentally pushed my mosquito coil metal case INTO THE DISGUSTING FLOOD. OMGGGG at that moment I was literally swearing and my friends cannot believe how unlucky I was. Okay so I had to tiptoe into the water again to retrieve it and I attempted like what, 5 times?! By then I was like ssssooo grossed out that I threw the whole case away because I cannot imagine using something that was soaked in that gross puddle of water once and even if I were to rinse it, I can never see all the bacteria and germs from the I repeat, dirty water (with seawater, sweat, sunblock and whatever thing our bodies produce after 1 whole day under the sun in camp) which will be stucked onto my case?! The thought of carrying the case with the whole chunk of shits stucked onto sickens me. Imagine me not throwing away and using it, then I continue using my phone.. and brings the gross germs shit thing back to my place.. use my phone on my bed and they spread all around my bag.. the next day I meet up with any of my friends.. AND PASS IT TO THEM. So I'm actually doing my friends all a favour? And yes I gaoceh like that cannot?! 
  • Okay omg this point is too long I'm using the 3rd point. So after getting mad and throwing the coil away, oh I've yet to mention how important the coil case is. So this coil case thing is a round case where we hand it around our pants. It's used to hold mosquito coils where we burn to keep mozzies away and it usually works. Today my friend had the activity Cycling Expedition and when she came back I couldn'y stop noticing her legs. They were filled with mozzie bites?! She was scratching and scratching that I I felt soo horrible for her cause I've been thru that? It's not just the mozzie bites that I'm afraid from.. The first stage is the mozzie bite where it gets so itchy that you scratch and scratch and scratch. Then you'll end up scratching it so hard it bleeds and that's when you'll get scars? It's really bad. So throwing the metal case away will mean a mozzie-ful cycle ride for me the next day(because mine is on the next day). SO ANYWAY WHILE I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, my one and only towel decided that it wanted a taste of ..... the toilet ground which was semi wet. -.- LAST STRAW PLEASE?! That was when I decided to leave the camp for good. 
So that's the story why I left the camp after a day. Ohhh anyhoos I got the chance to take the small bumper boat back where we had to sit at the ledge and it bumps high up when it hits the wave. I was sitting at the front side so I was like on air most of the time hahahahha! Was lucky because there was only 2 of us leaving camp with the camp chief who was piloting the bumper boat. Exciting much that was most prolly the best part of the camp.   Realised how fortunate it is to be doing camps for Exponent now. GREEN TEE FTW. Okay gotta head out now. Shall put up the pictures the girls and I took last Wednesday night tomorrow. Toodles!
