The Details Of The Camp Robbery

I didn't post the anticipated details of the recent robbings because of some personal reasons, and obviously because there might be a Normal Tech boy reading this anytime.

But now, I am going to make this clear; I have nothing against the good guys of Normal Tech, and unlike the rest who are spreading the propoganda that all N Techs are robbers. I believe alot of them have nothing to do with it and are either too afraid to report the crimes or were just plain oblivious about it. Whichever the case, the Normal boys are still people and we have every respect for them. At least I do.

Okay, this is the full account that I've heard, I've just recollected the camp events when the incident happened. The data was unedited (by myself) and I hold no bad intentions.

----------------------
Day 2 Camp - It was either Ernest or Wei Min who first realise that their handphones were missing, and there was a commotion where it could be. Someone suggested to call one of their numbers and Sin Teck did. Lamely, someone picked up and asked who the **** he was and he could recongnize immediately it was one of the malay normal tech boys.

The band members of 3ST - who first realise the stealings - spread the word to the rest of the class, and everyone decided to look the Normal Tech campsite up.

Before even entering the tents, the normal tech boys came out with broomsticks and one of them asked "Why are you accusing us of stealing?" before we even opened our mouths. Everyone knew then the Normal technical had something to do with this. The thing blew up when the argument was somehow shifted to the middle of the dirt trail to the MPH (multi-purpose hall) and some of the N Tech boys started creating a fuss on why they were accused and all. At this point of time none of them asked us to check their bags.

One of the express boys asked one of the N Tech boys if he lost anything, he gave a hostile 'Ya!' then after pondering..said 'No'. Showing that he just wanted to pick a fight and wasn't using his brain.

Commotion ended with Erwyn Lam (act hero la as usual) who peace-made.

Some 3ST people returned to tell the news and people all over the Express classes began to realise they had lost items. Mostly consisting of handphones and dollar notes. Dollar-notes range from five dollars to a whopping 500 bucks (who brings 500 smackers to a camp? You thing got there got sell MP3 players ar). The camp instructor came and calmed everyone, followed by the teacher-in-charge, Daphne Ang. She insisted each class to present a list of lost items and do not start pointing fingers at N Tech without proof.

The evening came and somehow another commotion started, THIS time the few N Tech boys dared us to check their bags. By then it was confirmed they had hidden the stolen items.

3S2 boys, with Kenneth from normal (thanks Kenneth) and some others witnessed Suraj loitering about the express campsite and they followed him to his base camp. At his departure they ransacked his bag and identified many handphones and a CD player.

The camp had a campfire on the same day. Many witnessed a big bunch of the N Tech class vanishing from the campfire. They also threw stones at express item performances. It was rumoured some Normal Tech ppl were caught lurking. Returning to the tents some of our bags were opened, some in tact while other losing more things. Bertrand was also kidnapped that night as he was the only person who dared to stand up against their malay leader. He was brought back by a bunch of express boys and he did not want to give an account of his experience.

The Express began to plot a scheme of Night-shifts as the N Techs said 'Tonight you die' or something like that. Marco flashed the lights at the back route to the express tents and saw the cap of a normal tech boy. This made people realise that they had tried to plot revenge. The tents facing the corners of the campsite camoflaged themselves and some even got ready for combact or a night attack.

Matthew, Anthony and Nateniel, the infamous trio came loitering in the express campsite and was shooed by the lead instructor. The lead instructor told us the problem was in control and that everyone please hand in information they knew, or else they could not be helped. Alot of 3ST boys, backed up with other express class boyswent to look them up, and having a discussion. Nichloas claimed that they used their brromsticks and kept knocking at his head. The rest of the commotion was unstated.

The night ended with no events.

Camp Day 3: Returning to School - Upon returning, everyone was asked ot sit back down in the tuckshop, and the culprits were arrested. Mrs Ang found a bag of the stolen items and asked the people who has information to tell or lost their items to stay back. Suraj was rumoured to be sent to a Boy's Home and the rest were arrested and under custody.
