The P5 camp was super fun! I'll post all about it here!
I woke up at 7am to get ready to go to school. Then I left for school at 9.10am. Everyone was carrying HUGE bags when my teacher carried only one bag and we were like "How does she do that?" Must be the sleeping bags that made our bag stuffed up. That's right, we slept ON THE WOODEN HARD FLOOR! Anyway, my class, 5 Purity hopped on our bus and made our way to CAMELOT Pte Ltd a.k.a. the MOE Change Coast Adventure Centre 12-14 Sept 2007 after the short brief. CAMELOT was huge(I'll just call the campsite CAMELOT ok?)! When we got there we assembled under dorm D(Dorm is an abbreviation for Dormetory in case you don't know). brief brief blah blah blah then we got assigned to our instructors. Each class had 2 instructors- one girl and one guy. We got RZ and Wayne a.k.a. Honeymama and Wayniepapa. They were our "parents" for the 3D 2N camp. So anyway the moment we got up to the dorms and sorta unpacked and packed... we had to go for lunch. As any normal camp would give, we had rice and veggie with an extra splash of watermelon for the first meal. After lunch was Belay School.(Belay School is where you learn how to put on your harness and helmet! Its for safety purposes. Then after Belay school was Kayaking! once again short brief blah blah blah yada yada yada then we put on our Personal Floatation Device(PFD) and headed for the beach. We tested our PFDs and then pushed the kayaks into the water and hopped on! Splish splash goes the water and finally at some point, we connected our kayaks and the people in the middle had to stand up on the kayak while holding hands! For refreshment, the front and back people had to splash water to the opposite side. We tried to catch Wayniepapa but man, he was fast! And besides it was unfair! We had 3 on a kayak while he only had 1! One of my team members managed to poke a paddle on his kayak! When we were near the end, the man CAPSISED US ALL! It was so freaky and fun! After the kayaking fun, we went sea rafting! Once more, brief brief yada yada blah blah push rafts in water hopped on blah blah! Paddle paddle we were supposed to jump in the water to try the situation , "Man overboard". Sadly only one of us jumped in as jellyfishes were spotted! One girl from the previous camp got stung. Anyway, while heading back to shore, an instructor in the kayak came and grabbed my leg and said, "Dwain, can I bite her?" I was like NO NO NO!!! After the rafting was dinner. Same thing rice and veggie with extra banana. Then was the night activity. We were told to bring an extra T-shirt. The T-shirt was to blindfold our selves! so we blindfolded ourselves and held each others shoulders in single-file, walking into the woods. Not very far away, we stopped and took off our blindfolds. We realised we had been walking for 30 min over a short distance. After the night activity, we reflected and wrote in our booklets about the amazing day. Finally, we showered and boy were we given a short time. We were like HURRY! 5 mins! PASS THE SHAMPOO! OW YOU HIT MY HEAD! My things dropped on the floor! PASS THE BAG OVER! So funny. Then lights out at 11pm. We were like clawing to bed! I couldn't sleep AT ALL. I hyponotised my friend to sleep (it worked BTW), massaged my friend's face but still couldn't tire myself out. Until about 4.30am, a teacher came in and told us to sleep and I finally slept. for 2 hours. Morning came, we brushed our teeth and went for morning stretches. Then breakfast came. Bee hoon and veggie with banana. We went for the Zipline and abseil. I went abseiling first. It was super scary! I was like don't look down don't look down...I LOOKED DOWN! The abseiling was super sweaty and I kept slipping off the rope! Luckily, I didn't drop! After that I missed the zipline because of time! Then we went to the woods for outdoor cooking. We cooked instant noodles. We were given a space, a lighter and this thingy that lights up when fire touches it. We gathered sticks and twigs and bark and dry leaves to feed and start the fire. Our noodles were in the water too long so it was like soggy but it wasn't over cooked. Phew! After that was lunch and this time we were the lunch ladies. We were supposed to PLOP PLOP PLOP the freaky veggie in the bowls and plates. But I didn't so sad... After lunch was the Rockwall. Rock wall is the same as rock climbing. I couldn't grab the rocks and suddenly I slipped off! The preasure was all on me when I climbed! The harness was tugging on my butt and everything was so pressurising. I let go in the middle of it to relax a second then I managed to reach the top unharmed. FINALLY THE MOST CHALLENGING OF ALL... the Challenge Rope course(CRC)! First there are two trees with the grabbing kind of staples attached to them like an arm length apart. And then between them are 3 cables. 2 to grab on to and one for the feet. If that wasn't worse enough, the other one was just a dangling and shaky log with nothing to grab on to! People CRIED doing that! Anyway, the last one was this trapeze and a pole. We were to climb to the top of the pole and stand, then jump off the pole and hang onto the trapeze! HOW SCARY IS THAT? After the CRC we went to shower then was dinner which was rice and veggie. Then was the GRAND CAMPFIRE! Purity won the campfire night! We were so talented that night It was AMAZING! Then came the reflection and we learnt about Mimi but we didn't know who mimi was and I am NOT GONNA TELL YOU cuz only 5 purity knows about Mimi! Then lights out at 12am. Rise and shine the next day at 7am then we packed up and got ready for breakfast after brushing our teeth. Then area cleaning took place. Half of our class got the 2nd floor n teachers dorm while My half of the class got the canteen. I was a bodyguard to make sure nobody steps in. My job was easy and refreshing. Why refreshing? It was near the water coolers! BWAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, we did a survey and a debrief and need I say the yada? Home Sweet Home was next but a downer, IT WAS RAINING. Hard to get home! Anyway It was nice posting about this lovely camp! Bye Bye Wayniepapa and Honeymama!
So long! Hope you've enjoyed reading this and looking forward to going back in Sec 3 Camp! Toodles!
