Energy Camp: memories (part 3)

hello guys !
sorry for the extremely late post. i'll make it up to you with an extra post after this. So moving on to part 3 of Energy camp, the end of my wonderful experience.

Day 3 Energy Camp (unforgettable memories)
my whole body is freezing cold. I think that i still got the cold from yesterday. I was about to take a bath, when i saw the long line to the bathroom and I knew that there were no possible time to take a long relaxing bath. The only thing i could do is wash my face. We were told to gather as fast as possible, and we should not be late, because if we are late our team will take the punishment. So every time they told us to gather, the whole hallway is shaking because of the rushing footstep towards the main room. As usual the morning starts with a gymnast, basic push ups and jumping around. Then we had a game ! yippie. Our schedule was supposed to be outbond, you know, flying fox and other extreme things. But sadly it rains badly outside, not our luck then. So we played inside, and my team won the first game ! it was easy actually (for our team) but strangely other team took hours to finish the confusing, mind challenging game. Then we ate our breakfast. After that we had this extreme game that basically told us about how to save lifes. There is this tall stairs and someone should go up there and the others will hold each end of this kind of spider web, mad from strong ropes and on top is a mattress. Once a really fat guys jumped, and we all were almost falling because of the weight we should hold. But for me, it was like nobody made any effort because i am so so thin, so when i jumped to the mattress everyone stand perfectly straight. My weight is now 32 kg. Pretty thin right ? but in this holiday i am trying to get a little fat.But anyway, the committee said that finally we can play outside, although it rains.IT WAS FUN !! We played games that have a meaning behind it. The meaning is commonly about team work and hard work. Then comes the final game. So there were 6 torch. 5 small torch and 1 big tall torch. We have to protect all torch and keep it lighting up.If the small torch went off, it's alright. But if the big torch went off, the committee said that we did not pass the Energy Camp training. Which is completely nuts and insane ! Just because one torch turning off we did not pass. They said that the torch represent our spirit and knowledge. We did not know what was coming, but we know that our enemy is our own committee and we have to stay in one big circle and protect the torch there. Suddenly a water balloon was thrown high to the sky and almost killed our flames in the big torch. So we made a strategy. Some kind of a fort for the torch The tall guys will held the small guys up high and surround the torch, then a few people block the water balloon to come in by jumping.It was like a real war, which is fun ! Once the water baloon hit me hard right in my heart. It's quite funny though, every people that got hit by the water balloon in the heart will do a slow motion thing where they ache and it's kind of funny. But then the enemy passed our border, which was actually forbidden, so we break the rules too. We brought the torch outside and we all ran together and hide near the woods. We all laughed and the game ended. We won over the enemies ! After that we hold hands and apologize to each other. Then we shower in a cold bath because our clothes and face was covered in mud and grass. Then come the closing ceremony. Here there will be an announcement. My team got 'the best group' and 'the funniest group'. Well i won 'the student which don;t give up easily' because of the thing that happen the night before (read in in my last post). Then we went home. On our way home, it was so different from the bus ride when we first came in. In a short 3 days, we build an amazing, warm, crazy, smart family. And we all said i love you to each other. I almost cried, but my excuse was ' i got to sleep'  because i don't want them to see me cry. Finally i met my mom and went home. I saw the twitter and saw the Energy camp tweets that said "everybody who joined energy camp, thank you for a great 3 days. And welcome home". I wanted to cry, but cry because of happiness. Happiness of having a great family and a wonderful memory.

Special thanks to all my friends in Energy Camp 2014
Love - Diah
