Welcome.

BACK FROM CAMP!!!

SUPER FUN!!

All that you can ever think of, we did :D abseiling, rafting(not really.. but so what?!) and the challenge pole! And the instructors were like, one of the best you would ever come across, i like the debriefs, especially meaningful for me.

DAY ONE

Got at school like at 8? Then we were told that the bus only comes at 11.... so we waited lor. Then at like 9 plus we met our instructors and we made our flag. We called ourselves "High 5" because well, we are the 5th group and we are high! lol. Our instructor was vanessa! Went to Jalan Baterhra or how you spell it and had a briefing on camp rules as usual. Then we had lunch, learnt the new hungry cheer. I have to say the cheers in this camp are completely oringinal, nothing much taken from scouts or any other camps. That was very refreshing!
After that, it rained..... so our high elements got cut short. Meanwhile, we played some station games like the caterpillar game where you had a balloon in btw the 21 of us and picked up bottles. Also, we had the bench game where you had to arrange yourselves to a given order without talking, and falling! Well our instructor sort of... closed one eye then 2 eye then we got through haha.
Then, we had our high elements when the rain stopped! Challenge pole! We had to climb atop a single pole, look at a bar hanging in midair, and jump, and catch! Well i was the first one up against this challenge pole! I climbed up the pole real slowly, later fall like that paiseh mah, then sat atop the round thing at the top first. I slowly stood up looked and.....stoned there for like 2 min lol. I jumped, and i caught, and i hung on! did one pull up there :D Well the fact that i survivied the challenge pole I must the belayers down there supporting my er.... 53kg of weight and still not letting go! After dinner we had this game called kidnapped! timothy was kidnapped! hahaha! 4 people including me went to search for him and of course we found him! Then we proceeded to do some stations to get chances to find the key to release timothy. The first try we were super tyco, 13 supposedly came from mariel(wtf?) and we got the key! then after that we no luck liao cannot get the key. but one nice instructor called pillar gave us a very obvious hint that the key was in number one and we got the key! We got 1st for the kidnapped game! Then sleep!

Day 2

Our day started promptly after breakfast where we went to build the raft. I had an advantage in this coz i knew how to tie knots :D Then after that the instructor tell me i cannot help to tie knots :( well anw its good that other people learn to tie the knots too. and all of us participated in this! After that we washed up and prepared for our performance item. We decided on a pair dance, and our instructor, vanessa, wanted us to do boy and girl dance...Mambo No. 5. I got chosen to partner...gerlynn... At first i was like WAHLAO!!! but then later cool down and danced more er... properly? forgot some steps while dancing and thank god gerlynn reminded me sometimes. After that we had abseiling. Not that exciting as the challenge pole and boon siong, who did not go for the challenge pole as he had a BAD fear of heights dared to do this! So brave right :P The only scary part in abseiling was positioning yourself on the wall properly, then not as scary liao.

After that, we went for somemore station games. We had to get across a "river" using a rope and everyone managed it! We had timothy to walk on a plank while the guys supported his weight. We all fit into this small square wooden plank on the ground. Then we had to lift a tire out of a 10 foot plus pole? We tried real hard and were dam tyco when jaryl, stuart, ahmed and me managed to throw it out without it touching the pole and it got back in! even the instuctor said it was tyco! we then had this high wall which we completed in a record time. 21 people in 6 minuted plus! Opps! I almost forgot the rebirth station. We had to carry everyone through a tire without the cup on top of the tire spilling! Of course la, we managed it with er... ease. maybe except stuart. he was the last one haha.

Campfire! It was not exactly the best campfire i been to, if you really want a good one, go to sarimbun. but it was great too! our performance item was not too bad, and the others too! ahmed and jaryl danced solo and that was awesome! Great job guys!

Day 3

Sad sad sad, we had to leave today... ended up clean toilet haha. I learnt some other dances roughly and packed up and left. When we left I felt a bit reluctant. But anw, THANK YOU ALL THE INSTRUCTORS WHO WERE ENTHUSIASTIC AND MADE OUR CAMP FUN, EVERYONE WHO ORGANISED THIS CAMP AND MY CLASSMATES WHO WERE TOLERANT ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I MIGHT HAD DONE WRONG AND OFFENDED THEM.
1,2,3,4 HIGH 5!
