Finally back from secondary3 camp......Whats my feeling now that camp is over?...feeling a little 'down'...i missed the camp alot!!!...especially the instructors there...and the fun and enjoying activities that we had undergo in this 3day 2night......Who i specifically would miss?...MY INSTRUCTOR in charge of my group,team4, of cause...Constance!!!...not forgeting Yan Hao...
I learned/gained alot and alot of things from this camp...
*Courage wins all!!*...On my first day activity, my team,team4,have our high elements...first was the 'broken bridge'...then was the 'rock wall'...both of the high elements was not mainly depended on skill, but was your courage that made it possible to do it and overcome the fear of heights......
*Co-operating and coordination between fellow teammates!!*...during our team's second activity, the low element's...we displayed teamwork and **......
*Trusting fellow teammates!*...adding on to the low elements activity, trusting fellow teammates is important and crucial to completing the elements on time...no matter how hard you tried, if there is no sense of trust in fellow teammates, nothing can be achieved...
*Conclusion for the first day*...During the briefing of the last activity of the first day,the night walk,3B were told to blindfold ourselves and form a human chain by gripping shoulders of the front of you...then the activity began...this night walk test the three values i mentioned, courage, co-operation and coordination between fellow teammates, and trusting fellow teammates...imagine yourself in a blindfold, seeing complete darkness and you depended on the person in front of you to lead you the way to safety...this tested the trust among the team, the courage to keep going, and the teamwork of the one in front of you...
***************NEXT*******DAY***************
On the next day of the camp, all activities tested on almost all of the points mentioned early......
*Planning*...First was the casualty challenge...I think...in fact, all of the team including Constance, all think that we did not complete the challenge and return to the campsite on the given time limit, was because of the lack of good strategic planning...there's a saying that you could have heard before...'when you fail to plan, you plan to fail'......
*Courage?*(to me, i think fun more than that to be scared of)...We went straight to the Natural Rumble station...Constance teached 3B how to do hornet drill(which requires us to lie on the ground facing the ground, hands covering the back of our neck and cross our legs)...we then proceeded to the muddy place...Wah!...Song Ah!...we did the hornet drill on the muddy ground and had our body covered with mud...
*Coordination with teammate?*...After lunch, we went to the shed where the instructors there brief us about the basics of kayaking(sian...)...i then pair up with 香 ling and we set off after wearing our floating device, carried our kayaks and taken paddles to the shore...after a point, we were told to raft up and do things that really tested on our * *s(the points mentioned earlier)...upon reaching the shore, i also don't forget to play...i teamed up with one of my teammate to capsize kh, then teamed up kh to capsize chee MENG...HAHA....
*(**s and fun fun fun)*...After bathing up and changed to our track pants, we proceeded to the low element there...the tower there lah...to do our zip line and absailing...absailing was fun and i made it through smoothly without knocking to the wall...the flying fox was GREAT!...gave me a moment of 'high' feeling when doing it...except for the tight harness that *toot* my *toot*...pain sia....
Campfire was what we all was looking for...i was "nominated"(sabo...ed) by the ALPHA company to represent ALPHA to VS the representitive of bravo company...i managed to make the cohot dazzled by my entertaining act...(haha...)...3B's performance was a success and a big thanks to Amanda,together with Michelle for their dance steps...and because of that, Amanda even got herself sick...i and the rest of 3B hoped that Amanda would recover fast and be hyperactive again...CRAZY MONKEY!!

Although we lost the cheering competition and did not get any of the awards, we still gained and at the same time, achieved what we thought that we can't...Through this 3days 2night secondary camp, i learnt alot of things that can't be thought through the boring lessons in school...For example, i learnt to cherish the ones around me and i truly understand the importance of friendship......
