Wait , I've just been to YEC Camp at Inti International University on 17th this month. It's almost like an actual camp , if you actually count the more comfortable accomodation in. My two other friends were supposed to take part in the camp with me but they had another camp , so Yen Shin was my only close friend there.
On the first day itself , the atmosphere was kind of awkward. I saw people from different walks of life crowding the campus. There were students from my state and also from other states. Trust me , I did not spot any hot guys among the campers.
Moving on....
Each camper was given a name tag with a number on it. I got the number 12 , which could possibly mean that I'm in Group 12. Students from my state just arrived on day one itself so we didn't have hostel rooms ready for us yet , unlike students from far places who arrived the day before. All the campers assembled at the multi-purpose hall and everyone sort of formed a human fence to welcome campers who walked in late. After that , we were required to look for our group members and camp facilitator.
When my eyes first fell on him , I...
OMFG MY CAMP FACILITATOR MUST BE A SURPRISE. HE IS SO HOT. Exaggerated much? I mean it , he's hot. And one by one , my team members-to-be joined in the fun. Ice-breaking session. My camp faci said it was his first time becoming faci so I guess it was okay for him to be awkward. He literally asked us to 'ladali' (something like rock scissors paper) to elect a group leader among us. I find it a little....ahhh never mind.

In the end , there's this nerdy cute guy , Leon who was elected as our group leader.
YEAHWHATEVERI'MOKAYWITHITOMGCONSCIENCECANYOUSHUTUP?
All my group members are Chinese except for Daniel , the lonesome Indian. *racist* I realised that my group members aren't good in English , including my camp faci. It's like they just translated what they wanted to say from Chinese to English directly. I'm not trying to be prejudice but it kinda surprised me. I thought the campers from far are proficient in English .____.
Group name? Iron Deuce. The organizers kinda set up names for the groups and we had to choose one from the list. I don't think Iron Deuce meant anything but it sounded kinda cool. We introduced ourselves to one another , and it's kinda amazing how I could remember their names fast. No joke , I'm serious. I kinda think that my camp faci's name is a little old-fashioned ? Hahaha.
Next , we had to paint our own emblem with some paint and our very own fingers ! Epic much haha.
I sort of suggested something like a shield with cool swords just like in Merlin. Sort of...Well , they pretty much agreed with my idea so I guess my team members were being cooperative. Each one of us had to paint the emblem with our own fingers and we managed to get it done on time. As for the cheer , I blurted out some of my ideas again and we finally agreed to do something like in Running Man.
"Iron Man? NO! Iron Lady? NO! Iron! Deuce! Cross !! "
LOL I find it funny.
Moving on....
We had to play 20 station games in the next 5 hours. 5 freaking hours in such an unfavorable weather. The first station , blow the ping-pong ball to the cup. It was always an almost. We kept missing it. Yeah we lost at the station. Whatever that game ain't really fun anyway. We played passing water with a cup in each of our mouths , passing water balloons to the back , constructing a tower out of cards , arrange ourselves while being blindfolded, blind bowling , observing objects , pulling papers off stacked-up cups , commanding blindfolded people , holding up a bucket of water with legs , overflipping a piece of newspaper, reading tongue twisters , touching disgusting stuffs kept in concealed boxes , sucking up weird water with the same straw , untying dead knots , making a jump rope out of rubber bands , protecting the 'model' while getting wet at the pool , completing puzzles, giving instructions to blind people and ....there's one more game which I forgot. The poolside station was the last station for my group so my members and I had to gather at the sports hall looking like wet chickens. Those who played at the pool earlier were all dried up except for my group which was drenched from head to toe.
There was a Gala Night held for the campers so we were given some time to clean up and get ourselves dressed. Yen Shin and I got ourselves a room for two on the second floor in a block at the very back of the campus. We had to walk , no , drag ourselves there. It was kinda creepy because only four campers were situated there , including me , Yen Shin , and two females. There were students residing there but it looked like it's empty. The balconies , well , were kind of dead silent. The bathroom was clean and dry but still , it was silent. Freaked me out a little. I kept forgetting about the keys to our room and actually left it attached to the door knob. =.= After getting ourselves ready , we walked miles to the hall. Thank goodness I didn't wear heels. The hall was decorated with balloons and streamers and also people dressed up like they're getting married. No kidding , some wore 5-inches killer heels whereas some dressed up like whores. I'm not trying to be mean but some of them do look like one...The food ? Some briyani rice with fish , chicken , etc. To sum up , not my favourite food. I believe the organizers tried their best so there's nothing much to complain about. After the meal , all the facis had to perform the camp dance on the stage. It's kind of boring , not until it was turned into a disco. Music was blasting and those university students started getting wild on the dance floor. I bet they went clubbing before. 100% guaranteed. The atmosphere was high at first , and it became a little boring later. At that moment , I felt like sleeping. My watch was confiscated so I didn't know the time.
Later that night , everyone had to assemble at the sports hall for some emotional session where we were supposed to share our sad stories , bla bla bla...Like I mentioned earlier , my camp faci was awkward so instead of doing what we're supposed to do , he 'entertained' us with ghost stories. We did talk crap but we did not know how to end our craps so that was when the horror joined in. Nah , it's not really creepy. My camp faci did talk about life as a university student and the campus. My group leader voiced out his need for a shampoo all of a sudden. LOL that was a little hilarious. Just imagine you were talking about horror stuffs when some guy barge in with shampoo. WTF HAHAHAHA. In the end of the night , everyone returned to their rooms and sleep , duhh.
The next day....
Woke up with a sore back cz the mattress was as hard as concrete. Did my daily routine with Yen Shin and headed to the hall with sports attire. Yes , we did morning exercises. Thank goodness it's not like those aerobic moves lead by sissy guys. The morning exercise was brief and we returned to our dorms again to pack our bags and belongings. I ate breakfast with my members at the cafeteria and it seemed like everyone wasn't really happy with the oily noodles.After breakfast , all the campers assembled at the sports hall , again. This time , a session with a counselor. We moved into groups according to the RIASEC system : Realistic , Investigative , Artistic , Social , Enterprising and Conventional. Not again... Being clueless , I randomly joined the Social group since everyone I knew was there. Each group had to make a boat and present it in front. Once again , the Putrians came up to construct the boat since the others were kind of clueless about it. I had an idea of making a base out of straws and in the end , we successfully made a nice-looking boat which we assumed could float with some help from a few girls whom we didn't know. Me and Yarshok went out to present our boat and apparently the counselor thought that we're more on the Enterprising side instead of Social. Well whatever. No one cares.
We had lunch later at the cafeteria. The food was okay I guess? We went up to the hall , again , to find an exhibition set up for campers to enquire about the fields they're interested in. Not again...Anyway , good marketing skills.
Can't take it anymore can I fast forward?
Iron Deuce grouped together again , just like how other groups were supposed to do the same. Members of each group were required to express their gratitude to their camp faci. As usual , my group leader wasn't being brave and he threw the task to me. Fine. I didn't really know what to say so I just complimented my camp faci with a few words of gratitude. I was not nervous or whatsoever , I just had nothing much to say. In order to make him happy , I praised him for being handsome. I wasn't really sure whether I gave a great speech or not but I hoped it's okay. LOL.
Coming to the end....
Prizes were given to the best group and also six best campers. Yen Shin was one of them and I have to say I'm proud of her :') While waiting for our bus , we took pictures with hot guys and team members. I must say , I couldn't really find a word to describe it. My team members are nice people although we'd only met for two days. And the activities , they're really creative and exciting. One word. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I wish to attend such camps in the long run , if I have the opportunity.
The end.
Wait , it has not ended yet. I have photos :)
