Seconday 3 CAMP!!!
Yoz, I am back from camp! =P
Camp has its ups and downs, but overall it was kind of fun, despite the lack of sleep....
Day 1 – Tuesday, 17/02
Well I don’t know how to describe myself on this day, kinda having mixed feelings – Happy and excited but had the feeling of not wanting to go to the camp..... So went to school as usual, but this time we were “VIPs” getting to assemble in the school hall instead of the parade square for morning assembly.... and what’s better, don’t need to sing the National Anthem... Haha YAY!! So we head off to camp by bus, it was a 45mins ride, we then reached the camp site – MOE Dairy Farm Adventure Camp, being the first to reach, we assembled in the Fire Access Area aka FAA, waiting for the other class.... The sun being hot, I took out my umbrella to shade myself, and then some idiot from 3B came and snatched my umbrella away, WHAT A DICK..... so well told teacher and finally got back my umbrella..... When all the other classes came, we got a briefing and dorm allocations.... My class got pared with 3D, I was nervous at first, but well.... Being a kind soul *Cough* I gave them a chance =P..... We unpacked and were told to meet in the canteen to meet our instructors – Rui He and Adlin!! Those guys are way cool.... Adlin very enthusiastic, while Rui He is just plain cool..... Our class was, like every other class, split into two groups, 15 and 16, I was in group 15 =P GOOOO 15!!! We went to a dorm for some icebreaker games, I was appointed IC till lunch which was like 40mins only lol.... We made out group “Flag” which was the biggest and most obvious one.... Ohya I almost forgot, my group name is WALL-E... Then we went to lunch, the food sucks for all the days so I don’t see a point naming them here lol..... Then we went to get our day pack and prepared for our 4 hour guided tour of Bukit Temah.... our guide was Mr Tan, quite a cool old man if I must say, BUT, he talks a lot.... we saw a lot of interesting plants and a lot of mosquitoes.... My form teacher and Co-form teacher, Miss Ng and Mrs Johari, followed us to the quarry only, but hey at least they followed.... The quarry was Beautiful.... cant believe that you can see something like that in Singapore.... Sooo Cool...... We were also able to eat some wild plants under Mr Tan guidance... I ate only 1 plant, the sweet one of course =P..... then we continued walking... so after 4 hours, we went back to the camp site and have our campfire preparation, which is a cheer by Adlin... It goes like:
Girls: Have You Seen A Funky Chicken?
Boys: What’s That You Said?
Girls: Have You Seen A Funky Chicken?
Boys: What’s That You Said?
Girls: It goes like Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok 1 more time!
Boys: Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Bok Oh yeah!
Girls: Have you seen a Geylang Chick?
Boys: What’s That You Said?
Girls: Have you seen a Geylang Chick?
Boys: What’s That You Said?
Girls: It goes like lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai 1 more time!
Boys: lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai Oh yeah!
Haha I know its lame but its kinda fun =P, after that was dinner we had a song singing session then NIGHT WALK.... which was very scary at first, but in the walk was okay, but Mr Lim who as nothing better to do came out and scare us lol..... after the night walk we had a supper and debrief then shower time..... and of course bedtime which was at 12.30am, me, Kiran and Van squeezed in 1 corner which Is about 2 sleeping bag size.... lol.... Didnt had a comforting sleep but hey at least I got some sleep despite the noise by 3D...
Day 2 – Wednesday, 18/02
Woke up at 5.30am washed up and assembled at FAA, where we had flag raising, seriously, who have flag raising during a camp?? Plus there wasn’t any music so we had to sing it solo.... After that, we had Breakfast!! Still sucky though, then we had some team-building games, I love the rope jumping one, the most fun of all the games.... Just like the church camp lol.... but this time, I am able to do it lol..... But I screwed the one with the most people cos I entered too slow, and well, got a scolding of course...... We did many cheers also... after the team building games, we had LUNCH, at least the food was a little better, ate quite a lot because after that was Dragon Boating, which needs a lot of energy... I think I ate 4 bananas during lunch lol.... So we took a bus to Kallang River for the activity, slept during the bus so when I woke up, was very tired..... it was fun accept, my group came in 4th because Yun Tao didn’t paddle at all.... Our team out ran most of the other boats who wanted to splash us during the practise..... Maybe that is the reason that we lost. O,o.. when we were parking the boat, Gavin and I splashed everyone in the front and well, Gavin got splashed by a pill of seawater by the Girls of course =P..... Since we did not win, we didn’t hat a chance to shower at the Dragon Boating Association so we had to take a shower when we got back..... Slept in the bus again =P.... After the shower was Dinner, then the forum, with our host Mr Goh and the VIP Auntie Tang the Principle that works in NTUC part-time because she came in the NTUC uniform lol... The questions asked were a little difficult as Miss Raniy wrote them, and the panel of the Principal, Vice-Principal, HODs.... were like WTF??? Some of them took quite a while to answer them.... So I called that activity as “Make the teachers Pai Sei” night =P..... We then had debrief and supper again.... then wash-up and bedtime again, 11.15 eariler ^^.... this time didn’t slept that well as some people tried to take alot of space and I didn’t had enough leg room.... what a waste.....
Day 3 – Thursday, 19/02
Exciting it is the last night of camp! Woke up at 5.45am as usual, went to wash up and flag raising, then we had breakfast, Miss Ng came, then the most fun of all activities, THE HIGH ELEMENTS, I was a little afraid, but still able to do all of the challenges =P Yay me!! First was the Challenge Rope Course, man the helmet stink like shit.... I did the balancing log one, which was quite scary, but easily done, I wanted to do the other part but there wasn’t enough time..... then it was the challenge pole, which objective was to climb up to a high platform and jump to grab a trapeze bar and do a pull up lol... I went up pretty quickly because I was nervous and I wanted Miss Ng to try so our class must finish first =P. At the top, I looked down and freaked out so I immediately jumped and grabbed the pole, doing 1 pull up! Then releasing the rope.... When the class finished, we gathered round and persuaded Miss Ng to go. “MISS NG MISS NG!!” then Mr Teo went up and did 3 pull ups to show Miss Ng that it was easy, So in the end, she went up saying “100% Pass for Maths and 70% Distinctions” haha she climbed up and freaked out because she was scared of heights, like me, and jump but she missed the bar so we told her that she had to grab the bar in order for us to fulfil the promise, and the instructor tighten the rope not letting her out, so having no choice, she had to go up again, this time touched the rope but, still didn’t grabbed it so sorry Miss Ng, our promise can only be half fulfilled... then it was the flying fox and Abs Sailing, the flying fox had a lot of people, so I went for the Abs Sailing, which is like the commando climbing down the wall, and the freaking tower is 5 stories high! After my group finished, Miss Ng did the flying fox... so cool right? After that was lunch, then it was the tele-match, which is a inter-group competition. my class was ended up with a draw... Then we continued with the campfire preparation, this time we added a song after the cheer, the song we added was ’Stand By Me’. Then we took a shower, then dinner. Some pre-campfire cheers and then, DRUMROLL, the campfire itself! This Time Auntie Tang came in a blue shirt so we said that she came back from Sheng Shiong, haha..... All the classes performance was not bad, I loved the 3E performance, theirs to me is the best! My class one..... THE BEST.... Haha..... after everyone performed the teachers and parents were called to perform.... and as usual, we shouted MISS NG!!!! Haha.... then Auntie Tang gave a speech, after that the FINAL DEBRIEF and LAST SUPPER..... sad..... and Good Bye to Adlin as she got a camp the next day..... went back to the dorm and took a shower, brushed teeth, then when I was about to sleep, 2 trainers and Miss Tay came in and shouted us to get out of the dorm as it was a bag check.... WTF? What did we do to get into this trouble, bunking with the wrong people, we got raided because there was suspicion of someone smoking... and what’s worse is that all the pupils who would normally smoke were laughing at us! So after the bag check, Mr Soh gave a speech and apologised to our class on behalf on 3D so we were like wow! FORGAVE them.... Slept the best among all three nights! Most space and less noise.... But one of my classmates got toothpaste on his face.... Haha....
Day 4 – Friday, 20/02
The last day..... Well, it’s been fun, It’s been real, But it’s hasn’t been real fun..... Gonna miss my trainers, Rui He and Adlin...... woke up, washed up, flag raising and breakfast like the days before.... then we assembled in the FAA and started area cleaning.... luckily our group didn’t have to clean the toilets and dorms...... we were in charge of overall cleaning, we were told to kick the litter to the dorms so that other groups would clean it =P.... then we got FINAL FINAL DEBRIEF by Rui He only, then Prize Presentation, our class and 3D won =P.... Then back to school.....
~~God Bless~~
