I came back from camp loh!This is my first experience in camp and I like it a lot except for the sleeping time and bathing time...tok about that later la.
On the first day, I sat with Xuyao on the bus becoz two groups had to squeeze in the bus and I made him carry my big bag so that I got more space to sit.Hahaz, and I cause him to have more serous leg cramps later on..poor guy =( Anyway, I realised that I no longer get motion sickness le...hooray!ok...denwe reached the place and went to the sleeping place which is a hut and put our things...the place isn't that bad la juz a little small for so many ppl.My day one instructor is Jasper.He is a very good and kind person...not very strict and we played a lot of games in the morning which I forgot were what games but I tik I still enjoyed it except for some spoilt brads and attitude ppl who somehow destroyed the happy atmosphere for a while.It was lunch time and for me It was unexpectedly that we had to cheer before eating...and it must be damm loud.
The cheer goes like this "Hungry hugry (clapclap) Veryvery (clapclap) Hungry very (clapclap) Very hungry (clapclap) Ji ka la ka BI BI AH Ji ka la ka BI BI ah !" I find it quite interesting but my facial expression juz seemed to be so dull everytime at the eating time...haha. At the later part of the day, we went for mud walk,kayaking and a lot more la but i never go for kayaking coz I got water phobia. As for the mud walk, I felt the way hippopotamus felt when they were in the mud...haha dun noe how to sae la but It was fun...den we walk to the other side where there's some clean water and jasper asked me if I could walk over coz i SCARED OF WATER but I told him it was alright as the water was quite shallow...Deves also said he got water phobia but she later told me she can swim...haiz spoilt brad la. Afterwards was bathing time, as we were late there's not many ppl in the bathroom so we were not hurried by ppl outside like it happened in day two...den dinner, followed by activities and supper then sleep time! Haiz, I could not sleep coz many ppl still talking and the nature sound is too loud...when the ppl quieten down, my friend beside me started snoring...Sobz cannot sleep la!
Day two was better in the sense that I had more fun becoz my new instructor was more high in nature, his name was Meng Siong. Jasper left for some personal reason and Meng siong took over.I played the very thing I was looking forward to...Flying fox! I was able to play it becoz a lot of ppl got height phobia so din dare to play but I'm not so I enjoyed it very much. The first step was like jumping off the building den I fly all the way down...WoohooO! Next, we played the climbing elements and the element I played was the broken bridge. I'm suppose to climbed up the pole den walk on the bridge which was made of planks and Its was damm shaky...ppl below kept hurrying me coz I'm the last person to play and the belayers were very tired le but they also cannot like that mah...very scary u know...and becoz of that, I had to go faster and those planks kept knocking my leg and when I came down,my leg was filled with bruise...but I still enjoyed it....In the afternoon...Meng Siong decided not to play games but to tell us many life mottos and story. He said the ultimate thinking we should haf is " Never disappoint your parents" and "Not to haf distractions in life" Hmm....deep thinking sia but I've really learned a lot.Later in the night we were group in the major group again for the preparation of the campfire later...we were taught many more cheers and dance! following that was the signature activity, candlelight war! I like that game coz I get to bully ppl...no lah becoz It was a lot of fun. We were always the first group to have our balloons all burst but when Denise announced our marks, we cheered becoz this game was not about winning, is about the fun we had....at the end of the game, Denise told us the meaning of the game. Many of us cheated in the game becoz lights were off, but do we really think that nobody knows that we cheated in the dark? It all link back to the real life....
Lastly was the campfire, we cheered and cried becoz It was very sad to know that we were leaving the next day....Denise played the song'Hero' and we closed our eyes and held each other hands..we recalled every details that happened the past two days, all the fun and tiredness..the campfire ended late and den we went to bed.....
The next day was only cleaning up and packing only..I can't bear to leave actually...
In conclusion "I really think that this camp has changed me and I love the change in me.." || posted by Lenig
