We met up at the station at 3 and trained it to Town Hall. Headed to Hurricane's but we were a bit early so we walked around. We then went to Hurricane's and were seated. Everyone ordered their food. I ordered the Hurricane Burger since it was the cheapest thing on the menu. Others ordered ribs, salads and chicken. Tam bought a pink cruiser and Helen bought a blue one. They mixed it together and it became purple! Brenda drank a bit and her face went all red! HAHAHA Our food arrived and those who chose to eat ribs had to put on bibs. It looked so funny! After we finished eating, we sorted the money out and for some odd reason some money were missing. When we sorted most of it out, we paid and waited for our $3 something change. We kept on waiting but the person didn't come back LOL When we realised that our change wasn't coming back, we headed to karaoke. We sang for 2 hours. Me, Jenny, Cindee and Amy sang Fong Sau LOL We sang some taylor Swift songs and when Helen sang, it was all her HAHAHA Tam and I danced to What Makes You Beautiful with the moves we could remember from Just Dance. After karaoke, we went out and found out there was a CNY parade. We watched a bit, since it was late. We were jelly at how the people had a Medibank snake light stick thing, especially Jenny LOL. We tried to go to the station but it was blocked off during the parade so we had to go the extra long way. On the way to the station, Morning Glory were giving out free glow sticks, so that was cool LOL When we arrived at cabra, it was already 10:30.
Now, for o-camp:
Day 1: Karen and I met at the station at 11. Trained it to Central and walked to where the meeting place was. We were a bit lost but met some people who were also going so we followed them. We arrived at the place and had to wait to get our names marked off. We talked to the 2 girls who were near us. One named Beverly and the other... I forgot; some Indian name xD Found out that they were either BscIt (Biscuits) like me, BusiBscIt (Busy Biscuits) like Karen or Engineers LOL When our named were marked off, Karen and I were on separate buses D: I was on a bus full of guys... I think I only saw 1 other female or something...
I didn't know where we were going so I looked at the signs we passed. I kept seeing Liverpool so I thought we were headed there xD
We arrived at Cataract Scout Park and reception died :( There was a sign showing the fire danger and it was on "severe" LOL When the buses dropped us off, we were met with this guy who wore army/commando clothing. Everyone was so scared that we were goingto do drills and stuff xD I was full like "I can't run for shit" xD We went to our cabins and it was ok I suppose... for a place in the woods. Our cabins were further away from the guys ones and we had to walk through the bush to get there.

| Our cabin! Eww >< |
The next activity was Humpty Dumpty. This was where we had to make a protective thing for the egg and then drop the egg from a high place. I met up with Karen and her 2 friends that she made from her group. They were Helena and Maria. They told us what to do and that we could make any group of 4. We decided the four of us - Karen, Me, Helena and Maria. We had to protect the egg and the resources we had were 50 straws, a rubber band and 1 metre of masking tape. We planned what we were going to do and then started working on it. I was the straw giver LOL Karen was the tape person and Maria and Helena did all the taping and stuff. Our plan was that the egg goes in the middle, and it would look like an hourglass with a cube outside. We ran out of tape and the group next to us had tape they didn't need since they were done, so we stole theirs hehe. Once everyone was done, the first level was the tallest leader dropping it from his height. The leader looked like he was 2 metres tall or something. Nearly everyone's eggs survived. The second stage was dropping it from the roof of the shed, plus one of the other leader's height. So altogether, it would be around 5m. Quite a few people's egg didn't survive. Our one did!! :D The ones that survived went onto level 3. This was the same thing but instead of the elader dropping it from the roof, he threw it down instead. NO ONE survived HAHAH (obviously). If someone did, the next level was to step on the egg xD

After all that, it was dinner time! There was an extremey long line so we decided to play a game. My group (Foxtrot) with some of Karen's group joined together and we played a game where we throw the ball and the person has to clap before catching it. If you don't catch, you get down on one knee. We played and the group kept getting bigger and bigger, with different people joining and leaders and stuff. Then we changed games and just played throw and catch but with one hand. The ball was big but Charles could catch it with his hand only LOL Not fair xD Someone threw the ball at one of the leaders and he used his head to catch the ball. It was SOOOO FUNNY!! And everytime he tried catching the ball, he makes a funny expression! He also looks SO MUCH like Dr Wales from Once Upon a Time LOL The line got shorter for dinner so we went to eat. We sat together and made friends with 2 leaders, Phu and Andy. After dinner, it was free time. We went back to our cabins to get a jumper and stuff and then headed back down to listen to some people speak about uni. It was so boring LOL After the talk, it was the fashion parade! We got into our groups and we had to make 2 outfits. One guy and one girl and then the people who were going to wear the outfits has to walk down the cat walk and stuff. iam and John volunteered to be the catwalk people. John was the girl and Liam was the guy. We had to create their outfit using newspaper, streamers, tape and a balloon. For John, we made a bikini out of streamers and a skirt out of newspaper. We made boobs out of newspaper and put tassles on his boobs LOL We tied his hair up and put some streamers in there as well. We made him a whip so he can whip his butt when he walks down LMAOLOL. For Liam, he put a balloon on the end of a newspaper stick for some reason and put it in the back of his shirt LOL Jasper made him a sailor hat with streamers. Charles, Chloe and I made him a vest and a walking stick. We made him pants as well. He stuck a picture of a person near his crotch LOLOL Bronty made him a bow tie. John was going to walk down the catwalk by putting his whip in mouth then whipping his butt and then when he got to the judge, rip his skirt off to show his bikini undies underneath HAHAHA Liam was going to walk down and have eye sex with the judges LOL When we actually did it, the judges gave us 8 points! HAHAHAHA At least we weren't last xD
After that, we went to back to our cabins and went to sleep.
Day 2: Woke up at 6:30 and got ready for breakfast. Then we headed to our first activity. It was called Dot Bomb. It was a series of little activities that you do in a group. Then when you complete one, you get a letter and when you get all 7 letters, you unjumble the word. First group to get it, wins.
The first activity we did was The Hoop. Everyone had to stand in a circle and put one finger under the hoop. Then we had to gently put the hoop on the ground, without taking our finger off the hoop. It was harder than I expected since the hoop kept going up and everyone was like "Why is it going up instead of down?!" After 3 tries, we finally got it on the ground LOL We got a letter and then headed to the next activity.
The next one was Plank Walking. We split into two groups and we had to walk on the planks. One side of the leg onone plank and the other on another. We had to move in sync with each other. One person counted "1, 2, 3 left!" and we lift the left leg and move forward. It was tiring! But we finished it and got the second letter.
Next was the Tarp. For this game, we ALL stand on a tarp/mat thing which is about 1 x 1m. Then we have to flip the mat on the other side while everyone is on it. If someone's feet steps out, we have to start again. We seriously thought this was impossible. Even the helpers thought it was impossible! Since Charles was the biggest person there, he was the most stable so everyone held onto him if we were going to fall. And this my friends, is another activity where we say "What is personal space?" We all squashed together to FIT on the mat and squashed even harder trying to flip the damn thing over using our feet. Miraculously, we did it. It wasn't perfect... ok I lied, we flipped about 3/4 of it and gave up. Full saying "We did it ok? Its impossible!" to the leaders in charged and they let us off xD
Next was another hoop game. We had 2 hoops and we were in a circle holding hands. A person starts off with each hoop on their arms and we had to work together to move both hoops around the group and back onto the starting person's arm. It was quite easy. I was the one who had to make the hoops swap places LOL We finished and moved onto the next activity.
Next was a writing game. It really wasn't a game... more like one of those session you actually had to learn from and stuff ugh. We quickly did the activity, only because we wanted the damn letter HAHAHA.
Next was the balloon game. This was THE MOST AWKWARDEST GAME EVER. Luckily, we've been in each other's personal space so I guess we were pretty close xD So the aim of this game is to transport a water balloon from one person to the other person. We can't use our hands, only our legs. Our tactic was to hold it in the knee area and walk slowly. If it was going to drop, we call someone, usually Liam to hold us as we leaned back while another person, usually Amy or John to kick the balloon back in place. From a distance, it looked EXTREMELY awkward. Our tactic to pass the balloon to another person was for the receiver to lean back while Liam holds you, and the passer to thrust their crotch for the balloon to move to the other person. Charles had to pass the balloon to... Chloe? I think and it was SOOOOOOOOOOO WEIRD! Everyone was full laughing because it looked so awkward! The leaders, us, other groups. What's more funny was that he was struggling a bit, so people went to help kick the balloon out and OMG. I nearly died xD In the end, we made it! and got our letter.
We played a few more that I won't get into details. Once we got all the letters, we unjumbled the word. Our word was feather and we ran to the guy and thought we came first but instead we came second. Dammit! We all got 50 Camp Cash. Some people tried to cheat their way, saying that they didn't get any and the guy gave more HAHA
After that, we went to the next activity called Mars Rover. We were allows to go into a group of 4 with whoever, so I was with Beverly, Jasper and Imogen. The aim of the game is to have 20 steps written out, and the "rover" which was Beverly has to follow when we called them out. She was blindfolded. You have to pick items up and there are dangerzones on the ground and if you step on it, you get sprayed with a water gun. We did all the stuff and when we practiced, it was perfect. When we did it for real, we didn't know she was going to get spun around. That made her go a little off track and she got sprayed a lot LOL In the end, we came third which was a surprise because I thought we did crap compared to the others. We got 50 Camp Cash but I hid mine and got another one hehehe.
Then we went to the next game. It was called On Target. We had to build a device that could fling a golf ball the furthest. There were lots of resources and they had costs. To win this game, there was some kind of formula to follow where the remaining costs plus the distance and all that equals your total points. We get 10k to start off with. We started planning. Since our group was big, we split into 2 groups of 5. Charles the engineer was in my group HAHA We planned to make a catapault. We built it, even though me and Jasper didn't give much input into it because we had no idea what was happening LOL We had only 30 minutes to build it. We made everything but didn't get time to test it out since we kind of rushed it in the end. We took it outside and looked at everyone else's. Our's looked pretty good compared to the others (no offence) HAHA. However, when we went to test it, Charles did the honour, it stuffed up and didn't even work so we forfeited :(

| Our catapault. The cross looking one on the ground is Karen's team's one HAHA |
Our group went to sitand found out 4 members dropped out. We got 2 helpers to join, Phu and Andy and another 2 Hotel people joined. The questions were SO HARD and dammit there was no reception. I see what they did there xD For the first round we came like 4th or 5th. For the second round we were nearly last and the last round we were also nearly last LOL Overall, we were nearly last HAHAHA There were bonus rounds in between each round. The first one was a 4 legged race. Izzy, Jarred and Andy played that and was first! YEA! The second bonus round was eating 2 Weetbix without milk or water. Amy went for that and only ate half of her first weetbix LOLOL The last bonus round was a XXXX Gold (beer) challenge. We made Phu go up to do it. Everyone was chanting"Chug chug chug!" Phu lost LMAOLOL
After the trivia, it was the party. I didn't go which made Karen not go :( sigh. We were at our cabins and we just went to sleep. The others came back around 1 and woke me up and they kept talking and I was so annoyed LOL Then I fell asleep.
There's this guy named Marco. I think he likes Karen hehe.
Day 3: Woke up at 7. Got changed, packed my suitcase and headed down for breakfast. During breakfast, Phu and Andy joined us to eat and we asked Phu for some Camp Cash xD He gave me 50 :( Others got 100 HAHA At the end, I only had 200 Camp Cash. Darn.
Afte breakfast, we had to clean up the area and then it was auction! There were chicken hats, some bar tabs, bookstore gift cards, a UTS hoodie, shirts from CargoWise, pens, a mystery box and the major prize: a phone. LG something...
The phone went for 15k or something LOL The chicken hat went for 5k! Far out LOL It's only a chicken hat xD The shirts were 50$ and the pens were $100 but when I wanted the pen, it was already sold out :( Ended up not using any of my Camp Cash :( I didn't want any of the shirts because they said "If you were my homework, I would do you" LOL
After the auction, we went back to the cabins to get our suitcases. I went into the bathroom and left my camp case on the toilet roll thing hoping someone from the next camp might get it and be 200$ richer. We took our suitcases and walked to the place where the bus dropped us off on Day 1. Then it started raining really hard. The guy's cabins were next to the place so we went into there to wait out the rain. The rain stopped and we went on the bus. Our group went on the same bus :D We then headed back and arrived at the meeting place. We waited a bit but Matt wanted to head to o-day so he went first. We took a pic with Phu and then headed to o-day.

Now, o-day:
After the picture, we headed to o-day. We met up with Matt. Went to every stall with our group. Maria went to this Vietnamese stall and she asked if we could leave our luggage there and they let. Woo! So we went around and then we met up with Izzy who was with Amy. Then we were altogether. We went around some more, joined some clubs. I joined BiG (Bachelor of Information Group), CREDO, the Co-op Bookshop and E.G.G (Electronic Gamers Guild). Around 2 or 3pm, we sat down to rest. We exchanged numbers and then decided that we should head soon to avoid peak time on the train. Some of us wanted to join a few more groups so we decided to split into groups. We said our goodbyes and headed. I went with Karen, while Izzy went with Amy and Helena and Matt went with Maria and Beverly.
