after the 2 days camp leo, i realise something, it is best to do everything yourself then to wait for someone else to help you. sometimes, it is worst when someone help you, when you need to look at others face and they mumbled or scold you behind your back.
sometimes i really wonder, humans are really strange. Today they are friendly to you, tomorrow they are angry with you. today they talk to you, tomorrow they don't. weird human beings. human change really fast. if they are happy, then they are nice to you, if they are not happy, they are not nice to you. if you made a mistake or don't talk to them, they will not talk to you again. if they want to change, they can, but if you want them to go back to original, that will be difficult. not sure how would i be tomorrow. lol.
left 1 day to EOY!!! OMG!
heyy guys! i'm back! safe and sound. Woooo!!! well, i really did not regret going to this camp. really a first fun, great and best camp ever!
Day 1,
went off in the morning and took ruzanna's car to punggol jetty, reach 30 mins before. waited until 8am, then the instructor chase us inside the reception place. met our watch, shackleton. a combination on NPCC and NCC, from all different schools. quite pathetic lor, our group only have 4 girls and 12 boys. the boys are, Alson, Jonathan, Jun Ho(not sure if correct), So'if, Idil, Alif, Wei Xiong, Gan, Taha, Nicholas(slacker 1), Anderson(slacker 2), and girls are, Radin, Charmaine, Nazirah and me. And not forgetting our instructuors, faisal and kama. our watch name was one of the great person. took photographs.
while we are waiting for the boat, we gave self intro and checking of health status and stuffs. when we reach the OBS campsit 2, we put our bags at block 5, and went around to know the place. went to cookhouse and took food for the next 5 days. sort them out into the different white containers. had lunch after the messy packing. did trust fall and went back to the store to get the safety gear and went off to learn belaying. went back to the store and pack 4 sets of tents into bags for tent pitching, and brought food for dinner to the grass area behind the instructors dormitories. but before tent pitching, we cook the rice, and show use how to do with the plastics and cans, and bla bla bla. had dinner, and the rice was damn " soft". pack bags and food for the next 3 days. going elsewhere. had fire drill at 10+. went to sleep after that. slept with the 3 other girls. cold at night.
Day 2,
had to report at 5.55am, and was early. but who knows, shackleton and tensing are a team, so we had to wait for them. they were still sleeping at 6am, so we woke them up. was late so did extra pt. had breakfast, filled water. was late, so had to double up. those bags were heavy! there were 15 bags, actually 14. after 30 mins walk, reach campsite 1. did some reflections. went for the tripod climb, we had to reach the top to earn the kayaks and paddle for later. CN was there as she had water fear, help to write down number of paddles and kayaks earned. after lunch, learn the things about kayaks, capsize drills, rescues and bla bla bla. reach machor at 6pm+, settle down. those guys help to pitch tents while the girls went to cook. a cockroach flew past the instructor’s head. lol. sky grew dark. yuan they all suddenly appear, they trekked there, and ya we met. faisal gather us at 10pm, told us a story, which we thought it was scary. lol. stay up for 45mins to look after if the boat goes away. which we were saying jokes, and looking at stars.
Day 3,
no pt, was land expedition that day, as usual, tensing and shackleton were late! got scolded, and had some blessing for the journey. went off at around 8am. kayak for around 7hrs. reach ubin village at 2.30pm.which was 2 hrs earlier. some help to pitch tents in front of the sea, while some went to change, after 2 days of salt water. got change which felt better. shiok! cook dinner on the beach, use salt water to wash stuffs. after dinner, yuan that group came again, they had land expedition. they were bringing the kayaks back. met instructors for next day briefing, and 2 black dogs came. night falls, pack stuff for next day land expedition, at 8.45pm, we met our instructors, and say about our fears. that day we slept at 9pm+, which was early.
Day 4,
we were supposed to wake up at 5am, but we were late. tensing woke up but never woke us. as yuan they all need to wake at 4am, at 5am+, I heard their instructors shouting, so woke up. woke everyone, and started to pack up. set off, and did pt, which was games. quite stupid, but really fun. set off for land expeditions, first task to find 5 different species, which past a bridge with board with species, which we had kayak past there the day before. after finishing, we were given tasks which we need to find on the map and find the locations to found the plate with numbers and do some task. we failed the first two, we missed the 3rd one, went to the 4th and 5th, cos of weather, we did not do the task and went back to campsite 2. reach at 5pm, was late for 30mins. unpack stuffs and took tents to the forests and that’s our sleeping place. deep in the forest. after pitching tents, went to store and brought food for dinner, sort of celebration. we had to cook for tensing, they cook for us. our chef squad on the floor, and cook, that’s funny. we presented our food, named ‘ our very chao da food’ , lol. we had a challenge which side food was better, shackleton won, woooh!!! we shared our food, and discovered some talents among us. one ate and food was leaking out. lol. so while he was away, we mixed tensing’s ‘dessert’ with a lot of stuffs(sardine and stuffs), and played “truth or dare” , we made him eat that. and ya, it was leaking. washed up, and went for sleep. tensing was very noisy, one of our member, woke up and shouted at them, so they kept quiet. haha.
Day 5(last day),
the girls woke up first, started to woke everyone, unpitch and pack up, went down to the store, washed up, get ready and we were late for pt. had breakfast, washed the ground sheets and clean up store. unpacked all the food, slackers were slacking. instructors check the store, had stuffs missing. lock up and our bags at block 5. went for confidence jump aka jetty jump. fun and scary. get certificates. washed up, get contacts, and get our stuffs back. had our last stories. went for assembly, and went back to Singapore. brought obs shirts, and went home.
well, after these 5 days, it was really fun and a great learning experience. had to preserve, be outspoken, motivate each other, never give up, and stuffs. a best camp, and fun learning experience that one must go. it is all that makethis camp a possible one. great job shackleton and not forgetting our instructors.
