Well, i'm back from ATC. i thought i was gonna die in the camp but i'm still alive and kicking.
So this is gonna be a super long post..
1st Day
cabbed to school around 8 plus and did the labeling for our bottles and utensils.
We then fall in.

Louiza was the camp ic.
Mdm Wan teng wasnt so happy with us.
So we did punishment.
Then went to our bunks, standardize every single thing in the room and it has to be the same with the other bunks.

Then changed to ful-u, did a little bit of footdrill, and then had lunch.

instant noodles+baked beans+sardines+sausages+eggs.
After that we had activities.

We learnt how to tie knots and we had to construct furniture.

Then we were given a task to construct a furniture.
So, we decided to make a stool.
It seemed so easy to do, but i was wrong.
We just anyhow chapalang the bamboo poles and cotton twine together.
And in the end, it didn't look like a stool.

It looked more like a photo frame.

Then, Mdm Wan Teng asked what was the name of the furniture we created.

So, we said 3 in 1. Photo frame, toilet bowl with handle and broken stool.
We had more activities and then had dinner.
We didn't do much on the first night cos it was said that the first night was always the toughest. We had standby bunk for i don't know how long.
Got tekan like crazy.
We went in and out of the bunk standardizing everything.
We did a lot of push ups and had bag check.
We had to pour everything out of our bags in 10 seconds.

Then we took powder baths, and played more games.

We were then released to sleep.

Shared poncho with Eelin who kept squashing me.

I just closed my eyes for around 30 minutes when i heard a whistle.
Well, it turned out to be a fire drill.

So we all ran to the arena and fall in, then had night PT.

Ran around the school and then we went to shower followed by supper, which was then accompanied by 1 cup of saltwater, which was simply horrible.
I somehow survived the first day(:

2nd Day
Had PT in the morning, followed by breakfast and then went to pack our bunks.
But then, unfortunately, i was chosen to be the bunk ic by Mdm Jasmine.
I was super scared then.
Cos Mdm Jasmine has chosen a klutz like me to handle the key.
What if i lost it?
But i've got no choice.
We then got our stuff really for the hike at
Bukit Batok Nature Park.
We then set off for the hike at BBNP.

It was extremely tiring and my muscles were all strained cos the trail at BBNP were steep and

And then, it started to rain, so we all put on our ponchos and headed off to our last station which
the activity was food rationing.
After that, we had our lunch which was sweet potato+raisins+milo powder+crispy noodles+fruitips candy+sugar crackers.

After completing all the stations, we took a bus back to Bukit Merah to buy stuff for the cooking competition.

And guess who won the comp?
My group! Haha.

We just chapalang the bee hoon and the other ingredients together.

The bee hoon wasn't properly cooked.
We had campcraft lessons after that.
We learnt how to pitch a..i forgot what is it called.

And then, Sir Jia Hong taught us camoflaging.

And we painted our faces with green and black face paint like the NS men.

It was so cool.
We went then sent to the field where we had to leopard crawl all the way to the end of the field.
It rained in the afternoon and the field was so muddy. No choice but to crawl. It was fun actually. And leopard crawling rocks(:
We had our bath after that and i had a hard time scrubbing off the mud.

I found out that i had lots of cuts on my arms, thanks to the leopard crawl.

We had supper after that and went to sleep.

Almost everyone got had sentry duty cos of not following the camp packlist.

The only people left in my bunk were Eelin and me.

So, we decided to do sentry duty too.

But ended up doing sai kang jobs.

Then we had fire drill again.
Actually 2 times, in fact.
I was like half dead already.

Then Sir Jia Hong told us to change into full-u and fall in in 4 minutes time.

I was stunned.

So, went to change.

We had changing parade, we changed in and out of ful-u and PT kit for 5 times.

I was super irritated.

Can the others act fast?
After everything, we finally went back to sleep.


3rd Day
Woke up, Mdm Wan Teng was lenient for not giving us PT and buk inspection.
So we had porridge for breakfast.
Sad to say, it was horrible.

Bunk Inspection and Area Cleaning after that.

And then we had games.

And i found out that i had rashes on both of my arms thanks to the leopard crawl.

I can't even lock my elbows cos the rashes are all over my elbows too.
I've applied cream but apparently, it still doesn't help.
Its was extremely painful.
RAWRRRR!
In fact, everyone had rashes.
It looks like some skin disease.YUCK.
Even my feet got it!
So, it seems like the grass looks innocent, but in fact, its not.

We then did a last cheer and keluar baris and we break camp.

Overall, i think the camp was extremely tiring but its quite fun if we have a positive attitude and mindset.
Well, but i think that the hike/amazing race could be improved.
I gotta rest cos i will be going for another camp on wednesday.
The one and only YA camp '08(:
And jia yous for those that are going for the cadet camp:D
I shall end this post by saying, " Confessions are good for your soul but bad for your reputation "
YAWN..
