Well...the camp starts on 11 aug till 13 aug..today..The good thing is that i no nid to attend lessons on that day cos the trip to the campsite starts immediately after morning assembly...The bad thing is...i cannot attend the history fieldtrip with my friends!!!have been looking forward to class outings..haix.nvm.The camp site is not very far la...Pulau Ubin nia..lol.Took a sch bus to a dunnoe what name jetty n had a ride to pulau ubin on ferry..so cool man..so long never hav a ferry ride le..haha.but it took awhile nia.The interesting part of the camp is...it is a camp for all area 4 sec 2 s n 3s cadets..meaning..ppl from RI,cat high,guang yang n whitley will be attending oso.It is called the ATC(adventure training camp).The walk up to the campsite was horrible..I heard it took us at least half n hour of walking.If normal walk..its ok.BUT we had to carry our heavy barangs barangs lo.We were oso hurried to move faster along the way.Upon reaching there,we were split into 6 groups..named after a fast food outlet.The grp i was in is called SUBWAY..woo..sandwiches.However,i was the only kcpian in my group.the rest of the 5 groups have at least 2 kcpians lo.The song.."lonely...i m so lonely..I have nobody..."played tru my mind..Being an introvert...haha..hard to communicate with them initially..Things became better as we went tru all kinds of activities like tent pitching.my group had alot of cat high n ri cadets..so i felt comfortable with them around..lol.They were like so smart n innovative.
2nd day...had adventure training facilities n kayaking.one of the facilities is the maze.When we enter a tunnel..we were locked.the whole maze was dark..we could not see.we formed into a straight line n ventured thru the maze..b4 we went in..the instructor told us an interesting(scary) story bout the maze.He said that one of the path in the maze will lead us to 2 70 years old men 's house.The two men were survivors of the war in 1940s but they had lost the war n dare not face the reality.they were well taken care of by the government.they had long beards n speak good eng.He oso said that the maze used to be sort of a killing field,where dead bodies used to lie on the ground.Of cos..some ppl believed..obviously..it is not true..haha.This story is to give us some excitement...After that..went for kayaking.It was fun but our clothes n shoes got realli dirty..haix.
Last day...it was the day most cadets there were looking forward to..We did not sleep well n mayb not eat as well?we slept in tent..n cook our own maggie mees for all the meals,with some other food.After a long period,we went home...Relieved!haha.
Heard from someone that fri got back home econs n science marks...wonder how i faired..realli hope can get at least a b3 each?did not dare aim high as both tests not as confident...
