sEc 3 aDvEnTuRe cAMp - '3:37 PM
Finally back frm the sec 3 adventure camp le!!!! There's some sadness though.... These few days have been really great though the facilities like toilets are nort really great.... Hmm.... To put it clearer, our instructors for this camp
Sheemun &
Azie made us have a memorable time at the camp...
bafore we left for the camp at kota tingi, we were divided into groups... half of the class were in grp 5 while the others in grp 6... i belonged tuu grp 5 and had Sheemun as our instructor. Grp 5 and 6 were the buddy group and normally would carry out the activities together. The campfire night also required each buddy grp tuu put up a performance.
At first when i reached there, i was nort really very pleased with the camp... Cos it's like so many days away frm home. However after the camp, i feel that the activities were seriously great!!!! As sheemun's invention, FANTABULOUS! Activities were so fun that five days just passed so quickly!
During meals time, it was also nv boring! with guys like yonghao, yongda, yingjie, chukai, junteck & yangjun, miie and tzeying almost fell off our chairs when having our meals!
DAY 1In the morning we setted off frm skul and reached kota tingi campsite at round noon... So we had lunch straight away after we settled down in our tents. shared the same tent with Kaili, Michelle and Tzeying... Then on the 2nd or 3rd night (i carnt remember) Siewying joined us too... :)
After the lunch we played some Team dynamic games... This include the
longest line, where each grp have tuu form the longest line with their shoes, socks, shoelaces, watches and bodies... Our grp won 6 pts for this game with the longest line among the others.
nxt game, the
caterpillar walk, all grp members have tuu form a caterpillar and try tuu reach a certain destination... Through using our hands to move, the fastest grp which reach the pt will win the highest pts... Our grp won 5 pts since we were the second fastest... Everyone hands were dirty but it was really much fun. Through the game, we gained teamwork as well as the skill of communication.
the third game was tuu run tuu the other end and turn 10 rounds and then run back tuu the starting pt. It made us all giddy and tired!
After the team dynamics, we were also given the chance to try the
low rope courses. This include getting across a beam with the help of other members... Through communication, our grp managed tuu succeed it.... The other one is balancing on a platform pivoted at the centre. That was so much harder... However, our grp managed tuu hold a total of 6 seconds! It was really satisfying tuu noe that our work paid off.... The first day was quite fun...
DAY 2the second day were all water activities... Our first station was the
indiana jones.... This is about getting all members across the river with the help of only wooden planks across each floating platform... the floating platform is such that if one person shakes one platform at one end, it would also affcet the other end... So both grp have tuu be very careful when they attempt to cross to the opposite side. I fell off one time lorhx... after the game we were also given about 5 min tuu play splashing.... it was so much fun!!!!!
Second station,
jetty jump. the instructors told us it could help clear off the mud on us after playing the idiana jones. So we jumped... And 3 times! My nose felt choked lorhx.... Lol...
Third station was after lunch... we played
kayaking. Jus as we finished changing out with our PFD, it started tuu rain so heavily... So we had tuu stay indoors tuu wait for the rain tuu stop while coming up with cheers for our grp... Poor cheer leaders had tuu almost beg for us before we finally opened our mouth and started tuu cheer...
kayaking was 3 in a team... So teamed up with yongzhen and cheeseng... Played catching and also forming a big H with our kayaks... Really VERY FUN... it was almost one of the most fun activities among the water activities.
Finally we proceeded on to the river outside our campus for
river cascading.... Although it was nort really challenging, the experience was nort too bad... Except for the part where my butt hits the rocks.... It's sort of like those lazy rivers but the surface is more rocky....
Before the activities ended for that day, we also had tuu participate in the
orienteering+jungle survival skills programme... we hunted down the checkpoints within our campsite with help of maps and compass. After that it was time for shower and dinner.
At night, i was really tired and slept most hours of the night.
DAY 3On the third day, we climbed
Mount Panti.... Although it was one of the shortest mountain in malaysia, I would say it was really challenging... I fell so many times that i obtained bruises all over my both legs and also a sprained ankle... It was due tuu the muddy ground when we are climbing down. And of course, leeches bite were inevitable....
Had maggie mee and hotdogs for lunch on the summit of the mountain before we decends. Scenery was still okay... felt that the most challenging part of this mount Panti expenditure was the rock wall... Scary it seems but i definitely do not want to climb down the mountain before getting tuu the summit... So Climbed and climbed and i finally reached the summit.... Really satisfied with my own performance lol....
that night i totally collapsed. Everyone were so tired.
DAY 4it was finally our turn tuu go up the
extreme sports tower. Up there, we get tuu try out Rock wall, abseiling as well as flying fox... Rock wall was really difficult tuu climb! i carnt even leave the ground... that was the embarassing part. After that grp 5 tried abseiling while grp 6 tried flying fox. Never tried abseiling cos last yr sec 2 really dun dare tuu try. Then this time Instructor azie made it compulsory for everyone tuu try all item sat least once. So there i go... Tried abseiling. And to my surprise, it wasn't really that scary after all! It was fun!!!! Wah!!! felt like goign dfor the second time.... But then of course must first finish off the flying fox.
Unfortunately, it started tuu rain nort long after our grp started the flying fox... So i had no chance!!!! I heard that it was really different frm the one in our skul and was really looking forward tuu it... yet this happened...
Anyway, we also formed the big HYSS which the instructor took frm the height of the sports tower.
Highlight of the day:
Campfire... It was after dinner and everyone were busy doing last minute final rehersals. Our buddy grp presented cheers at the campfire night. It was really so much fun watching the instructors host the campfire... Felt like the campfire it was back in pri 5....
Everything had an ending. Camp cheif told us one thing:
"23 june to 27 june is a special day for everyone."Yeap. It was indeed memorable. So we parted into grps for debriefing after the campfire and only turned in at 1am. It was wonderful... Campfire made miie carnt bear tuu leave the place!!!
DAY 5Last day of the camp lorhx... After breakfast we did
area cleaning. Grp 5 had tuu clean the mass tins, bags used for the mount panti expenditure. So we washed and washed... then instructor sheemun treated us tuu ice-creams!!! It was so nice tasting ice-cream again! Thank you instructor sheemun! :) After that we departed tuu singapore and reach skul and round 1pm...
Overall, the camp was so fun!!! i never went tuu any camp more fun than this! the instructors really made differences camps. It is precisely why we enjoyed the camp so much is because we had great instructors. Instructors SHEEMUN AND AZIE rawks....
after this camp, it also sort of
bonded 3e4 together. It feels as if all of us know each other for a long time.
The camp really made me realise lotsa things!
❤ I LOVE 3e4!!! ❤
