Sec 3 Adventure Camp 2008Day One, 15th AprilWent to school as usual but without my camp bag pack. Student Leaders who are suppose to reece at MOE Changi Campsite were excused at 1.40pm. Miss POA open book test and took it as homework. At about 2.15pm, left school and went there to learn some safety and security precaution. All of us were suppose to do the belaying for the campus so Mr Rani brief us on that and told us to do practical on it. Ate our dinner there and did not use the dining hall because YuHua Primary were still having their camp there. Waited quite long for the bus to drive us back to school. Reach school at about 8pm, for the girls SL, they will be sleeping in the music room while the boys SL will be sleeping in the hall. I was going home to rest because I'm not feeling well. Miss out quite a lot of activity (Eg: Campfire Preparation, Ice Breaker Briefing). Went home at about 9pm after Mr John Tan called my parents to ask whether can I go back alone. Have a good rest on my cosy bed. Shiok! (:
Day Two, 16th AprilReport at 6.30am in school and reach the campsite at about 9am because there's a traffic jam. Campus also reached after awhile so we didn't have time for preparation. After that we proceed for the station game. I feel like everyone did not manage the time well, not every group went through all the station. The rotation timing wasn't that good. After lunch, group 9-12 was having high element, challenge pole and rock climbing. I was doing the belay for both from 3pm to 5pm. Can you imagine belaying and the super thick rope. I kenna a damn weird lock and makes miie fad up. Hard to take in and slack. But when I see my group campus try out all the element and did not gave up when they felt tried when they were at rock climbing, felt so please. At night we went to Bedok Jetty for our night outing. Jun Hao went with us and there's a total of 5 stations. We were told that the winner group will get to eat their supper outside at the nearby food court. This motivate the campus and they try very hard to solve all the clues given. Went back at about 10pm and have our personal arrangement. Jun Hao had a debrief about the outing just now. It was the first time trying night outing during Sec 3 Camp and wanted to know how it goes and they will consider to conduct it next year again. By having this outing, I felt that the campus really can learn something out of the blue. They learn what's the meaning of teamwork and Jun Hao kept encourage them to walk/run together as a group. All for one & one for all.
Day Three, 17th April
Woke up by the campus at about 5.50am but they were told to report at 6.30am. No wonder the whole day they will feel tried. They were given the time to sleep longer but don't appreciate it. Instead of sleeping, woke up and make funny noises and I pity those people who want to sleep can! After breakfast, they had abseiling and zip line. Many people fell sick (asthma, sea sick, headache & etc). I attended to them, some were send to the hospital while some were send home. In the afternoon, had canoeing. Enjoy myself very much and kenna capsize by the instructor. Let miie chose whether to capsize myself or else they will help miie. In the end, fill my kayak full with water and turn miie back to my original position, let miie sink and capsize miie again. they were cruel to do this things but I experience new things and got a recap of how i learn to capsize last year. Haha! Went to have a shower and change to Sec 3 Camp t-shirt. Preparing for campfire performance, combine with group 11 and sang a song instead of dance because there's not much time for them to practice. At about 8pm, SL were informed that 4 campus lost their camp t-shirt and done a spot check and found 3 inside others campus bag. Quite disappointed because didn't expect there people to steal it or maybe they are frame by some else. Maybe you can lie to others but you can't be lie to yourself, when you know what's the truth? Campfire was not what i wanted and felt so emo. Miie, myself also don't know why!
Not feeling well. ):
Day Four, 18th AprilToday, area cleaning were done at about 10am. Reached school at about 11am. Mervin asked us to assemble in the concourse at 11.20am to have our last debrief. During the debrief, I regret raising up my hand when Mervin asked whether who thinks that you've really done enough for this camp. At first, I didn't think much and thought that I've really done everything. But it doesn't seem like that. I just try my best to do everything well but it's not enough.
All I could say is utterly DISAPPOINTED for this camp.
PS: Why can't you appreciate what people done for you all. Sacrifice our 3 days study and come here to facilitate. What some of you had done makes miie feel like giving up you all at first but in the end, I feel that it's not worth it because just a few rotten apples, others don't get their chances to learn and do what they want to do. Haix! Sad. Worst I've ever had!Who you think you are? All you know is only how to care for yourself but not others. I feel that I did nothing wrong helping them. Do you really expect miie to stand down there and do nothing? Try to think for others before you do anything. Don't overate yourself and don't underestimate people's abilities. Trying to do things behind people's back and back stabbed huh? Really too much. I'm just tolerating yah? But this makes you think that I can't do anything to you? Think before you do and use your brian, not backside. All the things you've done are only BULLSHIT sia!
