By the way, Sec 3 camp was from this Tuesday to Thursday. It was short but fun. The night before the camp, Yongjin asked me whether I want to play DotA with him until 5.30am the next day. I agreed but waited for him until 3.30 and he still had not go online. I was pissed so I went to bed.
Day One
The next morning, Yongjin called me and asked me to meet him at 6.15 but we met at 6.30. He told me that his mother scolded him for staying up late and took away his handphone and adapter. -_-" We got to school wearing our PE shorts but soon found out that we need to wear track pants. So, we changed and waited for further instructions. Soon, everyone assembled at the Parade Square for briefing and everyone was told which group they were in. Whoa! E4... Style sia. So many people wearing jeans. Fashion show ar? I was in Group 6. My instructor, Kai, had a very cool and hip-hop style haircut. After some cheering actions, we boarded the bus and headed to the customs. On the way, I was so tired that most of the time I was sleeping.
After an hour or so, we reached Kem Kaizen, the adventure village we will be staying in. We were breifed again and allocated to different bunks. I was sharing bunk(it's actually called dorm) with the boys from my group. My bunk was at a isolated place, far from the parade square. Beside us were some E4 people, those people which I would call "good E4 people", people like Kangning, Kiatsiang and Shengyang. We were allowed to return to our bunk and change to our PE shorts and report back to the parade square for our lunch. Our bunk was in a terrible state. My bed sheets have patches of yellow stains and my pillow was wet. The bunk was infested with bugs. The toilet was small and the water is cold and the toiletbowl have no flush. Good bunks, eh? For that day, we need to cook our own lunch, Field Cooking. We were given chicken, potatoes, mixed veggies, eggs, oyster sauce, salt, pepper and rice. I didn't help much. Just searched for firewood, mantain the fire and cook some chicken. Our dish was fried rice. It tasted okay. Whoa! Yohanes cooked a fabulous dish for his group, chicken and potato with oyster sauce.
After lunch, it was time for the waterfall trek. Group 4 from E2 travelled with us to the waterfall. We took the main route there then climbed a steep cliff to reach the waterfall. I think everyboday played in the waterfall except for Yohanes. But I regretted playing in the waterfall. My shoes were all wet. As I only brought one pair of shoes, I had to wear them for the whole three days. Okay, back to the waterfall thing. After playing in the waterfall for around 20 minutes, we were asked to get down the cliff. Then, we took the jungle route back to the camp. The jungle route was very, very, very, very, very long. There were many obstacles too. Ups and downs, left and right. Luckily I talked to Amanda along the way, or else I would be bored to death. After more than an hour, we FINALLY reached the camp.
Dinner was served next. We need to clean our plates, cups and utensils after eating. Haha. It was time for some cheers after dinner. Trainer 'Bloopbloop' and Sara taught us some cheers for the camp fire. They were so hilarious. Hahaha. The night walk later was fun. We need to hold on to our group member in front as we walked through the jungle. It was a test of teamwork and perseverance. The person in front of me was Wenchong and the person behind me was Ms Huang. After a long walk, we finally reached the hill top. In the silence, I stared at the sky. Whoa! The starry sky was so damn nice. After that we were told to get down to the Parade square by a stairs. Then, it was debriefing. Trainer Kai said he was disappointed in us becuase our team work and class spirit was bad. He wants us to improve the next day.
We went back to our bunks and turned in early. See, only day one and my post is already so long.
Day Two
Wenchong woke the whole bunk up and we took turns to bathe. I used my luxury item- my wax! But it didn't last because for the whole morning until luch, we had wet activites(No-man's land 1 and 2). Haha. Kai untie his hair today! He looked like the Predator in AVP.
Hahahaha! It's so cool.
Lunch. We finally get to eat lunch at the canteen. But the canteen was in a terrible state. Flies everywhere. Haha. It was swamp trek after lunch. One word to decribe it. Yucks. That was soooooo dirty. The mud weren't like those near the monkey bar. At least those where smooth mud. The mud at the swamp was disgusting mud. Everybody just picked up mud and throw around. I didn't even throw anyone but I my shirt was darn dirty due to the blind aiming of Yohanes and Kai. After the muddy and yucky swamp trek, we returned to the camp for Rafting. I did nothing during rafting. A lot of people did nothing too. We were not required to. Our scout and guides were able to handle such things. I just jump into the river and clean, okay, not say clean, wash the big peices of mud off my shirt and pants. Then, it was sherwood. Something like no man's land.
Dinner was up next and then campfire. Campfire performances were boring but the cheers and jokes were fantastic. After the campfire, Idham, the camp chief, told us that for that night, we could tuck out our shirts and wear slippers out of the bunk. During debriefing, Kai said that we had improved a lot in just one day. We ate our supper, gave our instuctors a cheer and went back to our bunk. After cleaning ourselves, we started playing the Poker cards that chongchien brought. Nigel and Rad weren't in the bunk, they went to celebrate someone else's birthday. Kangning, Kiat, Shengyang and Daniel went to our bunk and we played Blackjack. I was the banker. I pulled up my shorts and claimed I was Mickey Mouse, the God of Gamblers. Imagine this...
Haha. Sorry. I don't have photoshop...so this pic looks like shit. Oh ya. Anyway, I claimed that I'm unbeatable and in the end... I really am!! No one in the room won me!! Haha.
Day Three
The last day. I woke up, washed myslef and went out. Chatted awhile with Shengyang and headed to the parade square. Breakfast was served. We ate our breakfast in the canteen for the final time. Then it was area cleaning. We were asked to clean our bunks. After prize giving, we just waited for the bus to arrive and fetch us to kelong for our seafood lunch. Afater a very long wait, our bus came. We reached Kelong and Yohanes, Rad, Nigel, CC, Zach and I were on a table. There were 4 empty spaces. 4 E1 girls were asked to sit there. The food serving was small for us because all the boys there were big eaters. Haha. We took away all the fried rice and Zach got none. The orange drink was not enough. So, Yohan asked the waiter to fetch us 2 more. I paid for him since he did not bring any money. The lunch was fantastic. After lunch, YJ and I walked around and bought ice-cream and coke.
Then we headed to the customs. The girls of my class was crazy over Idham and the Malay Kai. I really mean 'crazy'! Haha. After we went over the customs, I was dead tired. I just fell asleep. When we reached school, Mrs How rewarded us with chewing gums. The camp was tired. But FUN!!
