CAMP
back from camp....so sad......arrived around 3pm. gonna make a short story of it. i bet everyone is now in bed, sleeping after a short nap they last nite. or for even some, no sleep at all. i guess i was one of those who took the short nap. the camp was fun of course, but it would have been even better if i was in the better condition, and also for alicia and tiffany too, i bet. the camp i think has really strengthen the bonds between teachers with students and the form 4s with form 5 although there were only few of us involved.
so, on wed, arrived at camp permai. two cabins for girls and three for boys. i guess this camp was not so much of a camp if compared to when during pri 6. our cabin is not the wood one but was made out of bricks and inside, was much better, the toilet especially. start, ice breakers games. instructors for the whole 3 days course are mr. lanny and mr. kalang. played few games and then lunch. afternoon, obstacle course..... still the same, nth has changed. so 26 of us split into two groups, 13 each, carrying the king. my team i guess was good, really had a very good teamwork. then free time from around 4 i think to 7pm. so i went to the beach and walked along the seashore. tried to overcome my fear of water, ocean, sea, whatever you wanna called, which was getting worse. not even up to half of my body and i panicked. well, if only i was in a better condition, i could have walked down even more and try to submerged myself to the sea, that is if my frens are there of course. i missed the sunset because we had bathroom traffic jam. and the weather wan't that good either. watching the sunset is a must for me if i was at the beach. miss it that day. dinner at 7pm and then nite walk and sit. ok, lesson is dun talk too much in the jungle and dun call ppl's name so we numbered ourselves. last time pri 6 camp, was nite sit in a group and this time, no more, not joking, nite sit ALONE. we had to go thru the forest, very dark in one line. one by one from the back, the instructor stopped us and told us to sit at the designated place and took our orch lights. this means, if you are in front, you walk more, hiking up the forest but sat alone for a shorter time as the insturctor will collect you first and back down to the end. i was no 4, so i did had to walk quite far and the steep part, was tiring and couldn't catch my breath. was afraid that i would be out of breath but luckily i was fine. alone sitting down, was ok for me, peaceful, thinking and listening to the surroundings. just very peaceful, like that moment. only thing i hate is the mosquitoes and my ass was painful after sitting on the ground full of twigs and dry leaves. really had a great time of peaceful thinking for 45 minutes??after nite walk and sit, time for supper and then sleep. but i din get to sleep as it was just too hot.
thurs morning, exercise at the beach learning basic self-defence around 6 tp 7am then breakfast. i guess the second day was not my day as i felt i was useless and hopeless. din go for kayaking, as i was hydrophobis, seasick and last but not least , it was just that time of the month. if only it wasn't that time of the month, i would have went to kayak with my frens and overcome my fears. i guess it's not the time but i will gurantee you that that time will come. so, while the others wen to kayak, me, andrew, cass, alicia, tiffany, kok ming and melissa with cikgu jacqueline stayed at shore and play near the stream, building sandcastle??? and catch fish.as i say, it just wasn't my day. after lunch, jungle trekking. same trail as the nite walk, but much farther. we walked until the waterfall and then rest and then walk back. i guess the jungle trekking was fun. honestly, trekking in the day and walking at nite is sooooo different. both was fun for me. nevertheless, me the clumsy one had few falls and slips. after that, free time until our last dinner. so, i quickly went to bath and around 6pm, went to watch the sunset. it wasn't perfect as there are few patches of clouds blocking. but indeed, it was much better then the day before. as i enjoyed the scenery, i realised that it was one of the best sunset i have ever seen. combination of few colours. bright yellow, light yellow, then sky blue, followed by grey clouds that destroy the perfect sunset and then orange, the most beautiful part of the sunset near the horizon. addition to that, the clear blue sea was just perfect. it was just nice. and i always say, if a bost happen to pass, that will be even better and guess what as i enjoyed the time leaning at the rail of the cafeteria, a boat passed through and boy, i really cherish that moment. bbq dinner and nite supposed to have performance but no one prepared. so in the end, we played our own games. some chat and went the beach and catch fish. i stayed with cikgu jeffery wee and most of them to play 007 and those who kena will kena conteng at the muka by our make-up artist, the only girl teacher. in the end, everyone kena conteng at the muka using poster colour. the one with the most time conteng have to present sth and in the end, cikgu terkena. and he perfomed his taekwando moves. that time was fun and relaxing. a lot of laughters and joy and when time to clean out faces, i guess those who did not wipe of the paint will have coloured face and cikgu became the green man. went back to cabin and i guess everyone chat and had their own enjoyable time the whole nite. most din sleep or slept awhile as i have said. me, short nap at the couch at the living room. and miserably i woke up with a backache,a terrible one. went to the beach at 6.30am and just breathe the freah air and enjoy the beach moment. chris and shih yang were there too. and i went to wet myself although there was not much improvement. had breakfast and then rapelling.....my backache just hurt. was the first girl who did rapelling. dif from last time asit wasn;t the cliff but just a vertical plane , man-made one. i guess the cliff was much more fun. had to climb up and that was fun. rapelling down, for me, was ok until the beginning when i began to slip and i lose my rite hand grip to hold on any further so i just let it go and descend down. i guess everyone was like that. had the same lose grip situation except for a few. by the time everyone finished, it was noon, quickly packed our bags and then lunch and back home.
overall, the camp was fun for me, could have been better. but i really enjoyed it. three days just passed soo fast. congratulations to cynthia who was determined and worked hard and braved thru every fears and doubts of herself in all the activities. thanks to the teachers who brought us and everyone who participated. only thing i had is the INSECTS AND MOSQUITOES. my leg full of sandflies bite and whatever insect bites. soooo itchy. whatever it is, i just hope i will enjoy another camp like that this year, before i go. it was just fun, tiring of course but the enjoyment just could not be forgotten.
i guess camp is over and now back to reality. must work hard for exams which suck. not much time left. i guess for all form5s. our holiday is over last holiday before spm. back at my house, doing my daily activities, going back to the routine, have to study and do hwk. its just annoying. at the moment, no mood yet to do anything. my right ankle, twisted or sprained, after the jungle trekking after a few time i slipped and twisted it. painful now. mind, mentally is not working. tired, wanting a sleep but just not the time. tomorrow, a new beginning but still the same old saturday routine. i am sure most of us think that way too. short summary i say in the beginning, but in the end, soooo long. so till then. few pix during camp. and the song that my cabin girls edited fromt lodge school's song that we intended to present it on the last nite. nth else from now, till then.
THE SONG
camp permai, our camp
our camp with fun
and jungle's fill
mr lanny and kalang our instructors
very kind and patient
building courage from nite walk and sits
building courage from kayak and trekking
a better teamwork
a stronger friendship
together we make
together we gain
