at first i thought i have a lot to say...and i do...but when it came to the actual blogging...im suddenly speechless...must think of what to type...
just returned from sec3 camp in kluang, malaysia...my whole neck and face is like completely black...or perhaps reddish-black...sun burn until really very painful...put a lot of powder. sometimes the camp is really frustrating and hateful, but overall, its fun! ill just start from the start...
it took very long to get to the campsite...then we immediately started pitching up the tent...its kinda make you happy to see your tent forming up from something in a bag...after that...started eating lunch...the plates are like dirty and not dry for most of the meals that i have...but cant complain lah...at least dun have to wash myself...and there are like almost a hundred flies flying about...never giving you peace -.-
after that got land obstacle challenge...all not very good at...only the last game which is some Captain Ball game...where my team is great...we trashed the opponent 16-3...
then we went around the whole place to find clues, then note them down. which we have to use them to anwser the 50 questions later. of course, my class, being a best class...trashed the other class...
second day...raft building...my group so extra...go build a starwars ship build...while everyone else is the same, three barrels together. so, in the end, all the rafts made it more or else except ours...the pond there was very muddy...the water is brown lor...until today then i heard that the stuff in the water is not mud, but human manure lol. gross sia...dunno if true or not...
later in the afternoon we climbed the hill, Lambak. very cool wearing red-shirt...looking after the class. the hill is very vertical, so you can reach the top very fast, but its very very tiring. completely unlike Panti, which i climbed during LTC...which was not steep, but take a lot of time.
that night, we had nightwalk, i thought would be very scary, but since i couldnt see anything around me, and i was just behind my classmate infront most of the time, it was not scary...imagine walking through a oil palm plantation alone in the middle of the night?
at night, i got bitten by ants...very painful, it was like the whole tent is infested with ants...very scary...i really dun want to think about it...the ants made my second and third night like hell...
third day was the most fun, we had kayaking and water polo...at first i didnt know how to handle the paddle, but soon get the hang of it. we were first to get to the shore haha...very fast and fun. water polo, the raft was hard to control and actually i didnt even get to touch the ball. :( at least we drew with our opponent.
following we had the annual exchange with Chong Hwa high school...where we kanna trashed 3 games...basketball, table tennis and volleyball...the only game we won is soccer, 3-1. malaysians...just too pro.
campfire night was great fun, just that i got burned on my neck by a smoldering ash...why so unlucky? i think the vs spirit is vividly present that night.
woke up today at 5.20am to the call of "Wake up! Wake up! Later already!" lol? so kiasu, because if the everyone gathered in the field by 7am, morning pt would be cancelled. in the end, pt was cancelled. :) thanks everyone.
break camp, we went through all the school cheers at one go, i love doing it...very fun. arg. i think i blogged too long...
very depressed now...i think i really sux at my dizi skills...cause the hou ban pai was very good on thursday? sigh... :(
