Back from CAMP :]

Allright, I've returned from the Secondary 3 Adventure Camp.

Its one hell loads of fun!

I really enjoyed myself throughout the whole camp. With all these high elements and low elements, Kayaking, Nature Rumble. The Camp has taught me all about resilience!

Lemme try to recap about this 3 day 2 night camp.

1st day : 26 of March

Heading off to Jalan Bahtera.

On the bus, we met our instructors of our camp.
Had some short introductions before we were told to shut up by that bus driver who somehow is in a bad mood.

In the camp, we were sitted in our groups and after some introductions to the CampSite by the Chief Instructor. We headed off to our Huts. My Class got Hut 6. After settling down and given some rules on the standards in Hut. We went down and start discussing about our group. We decided on the name, Me & You. And had our flags drawn and hung up nicely.

After that, we had some jokes and settling some admin stuffs. Learn some cheers and talked for awhile, and played some icebreaking games before gathering for some annoucements.

After lunch, we procceed on to our 1st activity of the camp. It was the High Elements. We were to climb up to a height of a 2nd to 3rd story high HDB. And walk across on either a rope or a log. My group was told to do the log, whereas the other group done the rope. Learn some things about abseiling, challenge ropes courses, belaying. When I went up the log. It was really freaking. I had the fear of heights and it took me a hell load of courage to walk on the log. And then, Mr Chan told me to sing a song ontop of the log and Instructor Ah Huat pulled the rope and I was stucked in the middle of the log. I sang and procceed on. And finally reached the bottom.

It was really fun, but well.. scary

After the whole class has done. We move on to the Low Elements. Well, it wasnt much of a difficult task. We just had to move on some debris and try to move.

Dinner went pass but we were still quite hungry. >=(. Because there was not enough rice for the rest of the group. The remaning Sec 3s went to the Hall for Singing Session. Instructor WenJie was so funny. The whole hall was filled with laughter and joy when the instructors brought us entertainment of singing and dancing.

THE Kidnapped Game. Our friend has been kidnapped and we have to recuse them. And there goes the whole Secondary 3 cohord. Running around, looking for clues to recuse the victims. We had fun running around and doing our task. Recused our victims and feel so happy! :). Ending off the camp with some de-brief from our instructors, but not forgetting out the lecture from our Chief Instructor! We were taught that teamwork is very important!

Cheers:

:D Okie, let me talk about my 2nd day at camp. 2nd day Woke up eariler to bath and was sent back to the Hut by instructors. Can only bath at 6.30. At 6.30, rush down to bath and settle down in Carpark. Did some warming exercise and then the Buddha Clap. :0 Its just clapping in the mid air but your arms must be straight and can only clap when the Chief Instructor blows her whistle. If we clap and she didnt blow, we start from 0. And thats how the whole sec 3 cohord end up with tired arms. =/ We did 300 Buddha Claps.

After morning exercise, was the high elements again. The group was spilted into 2. My group was sent to do the abseilling, where you walk down a wall with ropes around you, securing your saftey. The other was flying fox. =/ so good. The experience of this abseilling is quite fun. But scary though, I had phobia of heights and then the instructor want me to stand at the edge. I did and felt my legs tremble. Then he told me to lean on the rope. I lean 1/4 and we had a conversation Instructor: I know you are not leaning Me : How? Instructor: you gripping on the rope like you are dying. -_- Me : Oh. And I lean back with much fear and hesistation. Then must bend to L shape before moving down the wall. I bend down to L shape, suddenly, I start to move down. Then I shout, " Why am I moving down ? " Then keep moving down. The instructor keep telling me to keep L posture. Then I move down very fast and I shout again, "Why so fast?" I've got a reply, "You ownself control the speed, you ask me?" I was like... -_-" And reached the ground. Abit weak in the legs. After that was the low wall. I managed to get up even though I was quite heavy. ._. thanks guys. And then it was the tyre stage. We had to get 2 tyres out of a pole. And its about 2m high? We had to carry some people up to get it up. Fun! :D Lunch passed and we procceed to Nature Rumble Oh, the part where worms come crawling to me sucks. However, overall, its quite fun. We went into the forest, and finally reached the stinky mud pool. It was quite fun playing with mud, execpt it keeps entering my eyes and somehow, WORMS in the mudpool come onto my beautiful skin and starts to bite it!! Then go to the river, it was fun. Helps to clean us, and the mud is replaced with soil :D. Played some splashing games and went back to the mud pool to play the splashing game again. Then went back to campsite. We were smelly and stinky. Went to the Kayaking station to get ourself clean up. And the stupid fly suck. It BITES. I was bitten twice. Its as big as a thumb!! Stupid BIG FLY. You suck. Learned how to Kayak, and now very very interested to take up Kayaking course. :D Hope in future, can go Kayaking in the sea! Went paddling to the Kelong with Nicholas and then we some activites there. We race with Siang Yee and Azaad. And poor Texan. Haha, Sorry. And not to mention stupid Darren and Brandon. want to capsize us. After that went to bath and went to the Hall for campfire preparations. After that was dinner, then back to Campfire preparations. After some briefing, we went to the Campfire site to host our Campfire. Teachers came and we had fun at the Campfire. I love Campfire! :D
