It has been a long time since I have blogged. This was because I was busy preparing for the Sec 1 camp and afterwards, school holidays. I spent days packing and buying the necessary things. Before the camp, I felt excited as I have never participated in any camps before. However, I also thought that the camp would be boring and unsuccessful as this is what we heard from our seniors.
The night before the camp which was held at Sarimbun, I tried to sleep early as we were told that we would not be getting much sleep during the 3 days 2 nights camp, but to no avail. I was simply too excited and keep thinking about the camp. The next morning, I woke up quite late and after having a hurried breakfast, rushed to the school. After flag raising, we were being grouped into groups of 20 and I was in group 4, with 7 from my class (1A2) and 13 from 1A3. We assembled at the clock tower and boarded the buses after the ice-breaking session. For reasons I did not know, our group was named Lyche2 (Lychee) as the majority agreed.
The trainer in charge of our group was known as JK. He refused to reveal his real name and was never seen without his cap. He was humorous and joked with us throughout the camp.
The journey took approximately 1 hour and we arrived at our destination at 11. We went to our respective huts which can house 10 people and where we would be living in the next 2 days. The huts were quite small and dirty, especially the floorboards and we had to clean them. We had lunch at the white tentage after that. The meals were actually quite good, at least better than I had expected. Then we had team building games, which was a little boring as I had played the same game for many times already. We also went rafting which was fun. We were required to build a raft with 3 tyres, 3 planks and as many ropes as you need. There were disagreements on how to build the raft but it was eventually settled. We launched our raft with 3 brave volunteers on board. Our raft was the fastest among 3 groups. After that, we also had fun fitness games.
At 1830 hours, we had dinner and went to shower after that. We were supposed to have open shower but few abide by that. We went into the cubicles instead. After song session and supper, we went to sleep. Everyone was tired out and wished to sleep soundly, but we were constantly woken up by chatters and giggles of those who had or did not sleep.
