1st Day
I woke at 5.45a.m as the bus will be leaving at 8a.m. I got to arrive at school before 7.30a.m. So after getting dressed and ready, I carried my luggage all the way to school. It was terribly heavy. But I managed nonetheless. When i reached school, few students were there. Maybe around 5. At 7.15a.m, the teachers instructed us to head in the school to be allocated to groups and to be marked in the attendance sheet. At 8a.m, we headed to the front of the school to catch our bus. I sat on the last bus(the only bus with no air-conditioning) . However, the trip there was pretty awesome. I sat with Tung Bui. We arrived at the camp 1 hour and 30 mins later. The place we will be staying is called Stanwell Tops. We were then allocated to our rooms. My room was B7. My roommates are Matthew Hampe, Tung Bui, Jonathan Zhang and last but not least Virat Nehru. It was a bunker bed. I chose the down one. Luckily we got our own bathrooms!! So, after getting organized, we headed to the common room/hall to be brief on what activity we were going to be doing. Each group were assigned to a specific activity. My group were GROUP 4. The members are Warren , Andy, Sach, Jason, Jess, Norel, Lewis, Tung, Andrew Zhang, Steven, Fraser, James, Adam, Angela, Gina, Nicola,Sam Conway, Matthew Westurland, Brendan, Danielle, Xena, Frank Su and of course me. Our first activity was the Giant Swing. You guys get the idea of a giant swing right??!! By the way, it is 15m high. I didn't do it giving the reason " I have medical conditions". =)
After the giant swing, we went for Lunch. Actually we had lunch first before Giant Swing.
After the giant swing, we played Survivor(bunch of puzzles). By the time we finished, it was time for dinner. I like the food there. Very good. like a buffet style. After dinner, we had Trivia Challenge. I was in another group consisting of Tung Bui, Antonia, Jonathan, Sandy, Christina, and Joyce. I thought it was quite fun that night. After the trivia thingy, everyone headed to their cabin. Jonathan and I headed to the girls room to play some card game(Big 2). At certain time, we(Jonathan and I) had to hide in the bathrooms when we thought the teachers were coming to check. We weren't allowed to be in a girl's room. Anyway, later at nigt, Jonathan and I headed back to our room sneakily.
2nd day
We had to have our breakfast at 8a.m. So each of us took turns to use the bathroom. After breakfast(we ate at a dining place each time we have our meals), my group had to do the Mission Impossible(a type of quiz game- running everywhere solving quizzes. It was preety fun and HOT. Tiring of course too. Each of us in my group had a role. I was the medic. My job was to report if anyone was injured. A useless role i guess as no one got injured. My feet were all sore after the activity. We failed to defused the bomb. After that, we had our lunch. After lunch, Group 4,5 and 6 went to the beach as Groups 1,2 and 3 went yesterday. It was pretty awesome but the journey there was gruesome. So much walking. I played with my friends in the beach a game whereby a person stands in the middle of a circle and they hav to snatch or touch the ball to be substitute out of the circle and the person whom they catch the ball from will be in the circle. Confusing right but it was enjoyable. We took the bus back to the facility. Had our dinner then it was DISCO NIGHT. Pretty good.
The teachers dressing up for the disco:
After the disco, we headed back to our rooms. I was caught after that for leaving the room to get some water. The teachers say no one is allowed to leave their room. But i say i want to refill my water. They say i could have used the sink water. I said i don't drink for the sink. Then they say the water i'm getting is from the sink water. I must have look stupid and dumb at that moment but i really didn't know. They thought i was making an excuse. Anyway, at the end I was just punished to do clean up after lunch with a few more who was caught.
3rd Day
Today was the final day. We had or breakfast then we headed to our last activity. My group did the HIGH ROPES. It was pretty scary. You will get the idea in my video below. Just for the records, I did the High Ropes. By the way, it was raining(slightly) at that time. It made the course much more challenging and slippery. After that, we headed back for lunch. Then we packed and headed home. We reached school at 2.50p.m. Jonathan and I walked home with our luggage.
P/S: at free times during the camp, I played some table tennis. I realised that my table tennis skills is rusting because I didn't play for quite some time already.
Here is the video to sum it up. I <3 teh camp!!!!
