Part 2 of camp.
Day 1
We were building the raft, the weather was burning! I was there, not much of a help, lying down and resting. ( everyone witnessed it ) We were all sweating and thirsty. Looking at the two other rafts from the other groups, I knew we could not win. One of the group, led by Remmie, was brilliantly made, also neat. However, i had no confiedence, no hope in my team's as we were all in a mess. Every part of our skin which were exposed were all sunburnt until we became so much darker. I even looked a little different from before.
Then I met my friend, who was coming out of the toilet. He asked me if i needed sunblock lotion. I stood still, about to burst my anger out. I never knew someone brought along a sunblock lotion. However, it wasn't his fault either, so i kindly accepted his offering. When I returned, we had a short time left until we had to finish the raft. Looking at the raft, I already knew we had no chance of winning, and I didn't enjoy myself, not like expected.
Soon, it was time to set of our rafts, we carried it 'gently' into the water, then we set it off. We were all so tired. I pushed myself until i got onto the front barrel. Another member from the group got onto the front pole. But the others were still lacking behind. The other member went to the others to help them. I tried to help them to, but the waves were strong, the raft was unsteady and the pole which I used to go down the raft was moving with the waves so strongly, I was afraid that my leg got stuck in the rope. The pole will then hit my leg and there it goes. The barrel was unstable too, so coming off of it was not that easy. How ignorant of me, i feared my members saying. However, it can't be helped, I might be able to help them up, but I would have to risk losing my leg. I decided not to help them, but I knew everyone would blame me. It was a wrong move to go up the raft first, but seeing my friend do it, i did it to. I knew that my leg was more important than helping them.
Other rafts also set off the shore, one was even worst then ours, the other was much better, as the team leader had the experience. Three of our raft's barrels fell off, only mine remained, phew, I was lucky.
After the rafting, we needed to keep the items, I help to bring the items to high ground while other were collecting and giving it to me. we had a lecture and then was allowed to return to the tents we made.
In the evening, we gathered in the parking lot, ate a very deliteful dinner, compared to the others we had. We then played game in groupes, which we enjoyed alot, although we scoreed the lowest points. It was the only chance we got to act 'stupishly'. (not that I liked it )
When it was Milo time, I ws walking with my friends, near the road to the entrance. I was staring at a bush, not big, not small, but somehow I sense something creepy about it. Suddenly, my friend screamed, or shouted. We asked what happened, a amy friend told us he saw a face, when you looked at an angle to the bush i was STARING DIRECTLY AT. I was more creeped out. Then when we maganed to become calm again, we started walking again. It was then, a person in white was rollerblading on the road next to the camp. The freaky thing about him is that no one would rollerblade so late at night. He was wearing all white and he skate so fast we couldn't even see his legs. It ade him look like a ghost. Creepy.... one scare after another. When we seriously managed to calm down ourselves, we saw a few classmates, with Speedy. They were sitting under a lampost, talking abou something, but it was too far away to here it. Then one of my other classmate told me about a rumour, which was what happened to those people sitting under the lampost. She said that one scared he other one.
Speedy then walked to the crowd, a told everyone, that some things can't be explained by science or haven't been proven. My thought wa that it was completely linked to the classmates under the lampost. Speedy also said that from then on, in the ccamp, we had to go to the toilet with some friends.
When it was time to sleep, it was all quiet. Soon, an aeroplane came by. It was so loud that those who didn't sleep before that cannot sleep for a while after. And there were two victim in this tent, my friend, Daren, and I. We couldn't sleep, Then someone came up from the other tent. We could not see who is it, only here the voice, and it aid it wanted to go to the toilet, so Daren and I, who have nothing to do, accompanied him to the toilet, with some other friends. This carried oon until we were tired, then we slept. I pity those who could not find anyone to go with to the toilet.
Day 2
We only had a few hours to sleep, then it was dawn. It was the last day at Camp Camelot. I actually missed it. It was then time to pack up our tents and eat breakfast. Breakfast was quite good, considering that it was a camp. It was my favourite Breakfast. But some said it was too salty, which was just what I wanted.
A few moments later, we left the campsite. We all managed to fit into the bus, although it was 'a little' cramp. It only took a while until we reached our next destination, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. It was "perfect"! My bag's zip was spoiled, and now I could not zip the compartment for the bag. "Great!" I told myself. We then watched a 15min show aout the Wetland Reserve. I admit, although it had lots of bugs in it, nature is worth alot more. If only I had brought my EOS, I could have took wonderful photos of the scenery. But such a big camera, is heavy and takes up alot of space and I had no smaller cameras. Oh well, like the saying goes, " When nature gives you lemon, youu make lemonades". Hahaha. It wasn't a total lost either.
When we got back to Christ Church Secondary, we had lunch and then got to to switch to our long pants for the Challenge Rope Course. I had no long pants, so I wore jeans. When it time to go for the course, we had a little briefing in the ISH, then we were separated into groups and then wore the gear.
When we were in the Rope Course area, we did the plank walk on the highest level. My groupmates were Daren, Johanthan, Remmie and I. Johnathan did not want to go, so it was only the three of us. As this was our first time, we were anxious. Bob said "Who wants to go first?" and we were pushing each other to the front. I knew that this would carry on until someone said yes, which nobody wants to. I knew that we were also wasting time, so I volunteered. I didn't even know if I made the correct decision. I climbed the pole, reached the top, looked down, and swallowed my saliva. It wasn't that high anyway. I then began to walk the plank. (Like the pirates, just kidding) I then began to grew confident in myself. Went i got down they gave me an applause. Nice...... I then helped Remmie and Daren to climb the stairs to the pole.
Next we went to the Leap Of Faith. Rumours around say its very scary, people say its very fun. I trusted people not rumors, so I was the third to jump. When It was my turn, I climbed the pole. It wa getting even shakier everytime I climbed higher, Well, I can't turn around now. I got to do what a man got to do. Before me, Everyone who jumped counted to three a jump. However, I was too afraid until I forgot to count. I just jumped. Then when I thought I was going to fall, something smooth and white touched my palms. I grabbed the pole and hold on.
The rest of th Course was fun too. When It was dinner time, We got to change before it. But I had no time for that as I helped the teacher to carry the equipments back to somewhere. When we ate dinner, the food looked okay, a little disgusting but okay. But when we ate it. I tasted a whole new thing. I tasted the smell of the black plastic bags used in the bins. But I had to at least eat some of it.
After dinner, we had our free time, that was when I changed. I then brought my sleeping mat with Luqman to the hall, and also brought our mug for Milo. I drank Milo until I was bloated. We were then ordered to go back to the camp room and wait there.
We were then oredered to line outside the room. Some of us thought it was nightwalk, but I was uncertain. However, we were then lead to the music room. In it was total darkness, we could only see outlines in the black. We were then tol by Speedy to form a circle, we did it several times and then the lights were on.
It was then Disco-Disco. We dance, we watched Sakda dance, we watched Bruce and Faris in a corner and watched Remmie doing the Baby. It was fun, the best thing that has happened in day 2. The songs were cool to, Ke$ha, All American Rejects, Super Junior and more. But the fun stopped when it ended. We went to the hall to sleep. Walking with a sad face that we could not Disco longer. We talked about ghost stories in the hall before we went to sleep.
Day 3
I sudddenly woke up in the midnight. My stomach was aching. It was then I realise I was sleeping on the light stick the whole time. I took it off, but my stomach still ached. I suddenly felt like going to the toilet. I tried to wake Jun Wei up, but he slept tight. I tried to wake others up, but I could not stand it. I dashed out of the hall. I really could not stand it. I passed by the teachers toilet, passed by the corridor and ran as fast as I could to the toilet at the end of the block. It was terrible. When I went back to the hall, I suddenly got the ache again, I called Jun Wei to accompany me outside the toilet. When it was over, I saw a few classmates outside. They asked me if I had stomach ache and I nodded my head. Then I knew I was not the only one.
When it was morning, everyone had stomach ache. We suspected that it was the noodles we ate for dinner last night. Everyone in this class camp has stomach ache, one even vomitted. We did some stuff in the third day and we got home. I knew in my heart that it was the best class camp in my live, and one to remember for times to come.

2E3 Class Camp By Jingwenn(: !
Day 1
I was very nervous for this camp. I kept thinking i forgot to bring something. In the morning, we attended morning assembly. Then left the hall at about 8.05am. We went straight to the camp room and the instructors collected our valuables. At the mean time, we get our day pack ready. After we're done, we went to the canteen and the instructors did a spot-check. The instructors introduced themselves and allowed us to board the bus. The bus was kind of small but we manage to squeezed in. The journey was long and sleepy. We reached the MOE Changi Adventure Coast at about 9.30am. The first thing we did was listen to the Kayaking safety briefing by an instructor. We paired up and got ready to set off. The kayaking was very fun. I'm sure we had fun, not until the rain poured down on us. I couldn't see a thing at all when the rain gotten bigger. We all went back to shore not long later. By the time we reached the shore, the rain had stopped. After that we rested & had our lunch under a dome. Right after lunch, we went to build our tents. Then we got to our groups and make a raft together. The sun was extremely hot. Unfortunately, my group was slow and we were the last team to complete it. But i was still contented with our raft. We were ready to sink! Well, in the end it didn't sink but everything breaked apart. We had some discussion of what happened today. And i learnt that TEAM (Together Everyone Acheive More) is important. Soon it was time for outdoor cooking. Then we played a game. It was AWESOME & FUN. After that it was sleeping time.
Day 2
We woke up at about 6am and unpitched our tents. We had our breakfast and boarded the bus to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve. we watched a short video and set off for our walk. I love the walk a lot but not until mosquitoes had bitten me. We were all very tired by the time we ended our walk. On the way back to school, we did some cheers. Then we had lunch in school before starting on our Challenged Rope Course. I attempted 2 high elements only. One of which is the bridge with broken logs. It was scary at first because it felt like i was going to fall. The second high element was the Leap of Faith. I was the last person to attempt that. I wasn't scared but my hands were sweaty and i worried i might slipped off. I managed to jumped off and reached for the ladder. After that we were given our class t-shirt. I loved it a lot. Thanks Shannon! we changed into our class t-shirt and had dinner. Dinner was of course horrible. It was like last night's food. After we're done, we practiced our performance for tonight's camp fire. My group was very funny and we enjoyed our times together. After which, we were called back by the instructors to gathered. We practiced some cheers for later. At the camp fire, we started off with the camp fire song. My group's performance turned out fine. And everybody was shocked that i shouted. Some parents came and joined the fun. I really enjoyed the camp fire. And i almost lost my voice. Then some instructors told us some true life stories. Then we went for our shower. We gathered at the canteen for supper. As most of the class said that they're not tired, instructor Jia Ning brought us to the music room. We did our reflections that night. And so we went back to sleep in the hall.
Day 3
I woked up at 5.45am because my stomach was hurting. I went out of the hall and some people told me that their stomach hurts too. And some went to toilet for lots of time. Some said that it was food poisoning. I went to the toilet for 3 times and suspected that i was affected too. I washed up and went down to the canteen for breakfast. The food wasn't good too. Most of us feel like vomitting. I didn't finish my breakfast and had to throw it away because it was as horrible as last night's. We went to the music room after breakfast. A lot of us were feeling horrible. We did a review of CRP and we also watched a small part of a movie. We went to the camp room after we done with the CPR. Speedy told us stories again. Then we did some bandage stuffs. I enjoyed it a lot. Then we returned the mat and came straight to the IT lap 4. We did a lot of surveys on asknlearn. Then we started to blog in the class blog. Overall i think the camp is fun and i hope we continue to stay bonded like this.

2E3 Class Camp 2010!
Day 1
NIL. I was in NCC camp.
Day 2
I came back from Amoy Quee camp (NCC) to school at about 4.05pm on 28 of January. When I arrived there my class was doing CRC (high element). I was quite disappointed when i cannot play with my friends as I have blisters on my foot, playing the high elements heed to wear sport shoes but I only can wear slippers because if i wear my sport shoes my injury will become more serious. Sitting on the bench, watching my friends playing was rather boring. It was a mess! Some were pulling ropes, while some were only sitting on the floor watching them play. The weather was very hot, I could see my friend's cheek damn red and perspiring like mad! Many of them just run out of the so called "cage" to drink water from the cooler.
After almost everyone has played the game, Pesi gathered us outside the playing station and asked us some question like how was the game, is it fun like these, etc while Shermine and Racheal Lim took out the class list to mark our class attendance. Mr Marc Tan, our form teacher then distribute our class camp T-shirt to us. When all these stuff has been done, speedy sent us back to our camp room and take our shorts and slippers to change and gather in the canteen for our dinner. This time round the dinner is from the Western Stan. It sucks! The food consists of chicken chop, garlic bread and tasteless, disgusting "poisonous" noodles. It is not up to standard as almost half of our class ended up having stomachache the next day.
Having our dinner finished, pesi and redbull separated us into our own groups. For me, I am in group B with Racheal Lim, Jia Ying, Junnesa, Calvin, Zhen Chen, Kathleen and Valent. We all gathered in the parade square to prepare our skit for the campfire. At first, we started off playing, not concentrating on the things that we should do. But as time files by, we started getting serious as we were afraid that we cannot perform on the campfire with all our friends, teachers and parents staring at us, feeling embarrass. Our skit when like this: we were in a place near the sea doing rafting when Calvin, Zhen Chen, Junnesha,Kathleen and me feeling tired and thirsty started to slag, leaving Racheal Lim and Jia Ying doing rest of the job their own. Jia Ying can't stand it and started "scolding" us saying that we should unite as one because two is always better than one and teamwork is together we achieves more, living the choice to us whether we want to help us or not. Feeling guilty, we went to say sorry to them and work together as one. The moral of the story tells us that we should stay together as a team,c no matter what happens.
After quite awhile, the sky started to turns, dark and the parents starts to slowly come into our school to join the campfire with us.
While waiting for the campfire to start , pesi and redbull teaches us some songs and cheers ready to use for the campfire. When almost all the parents are here, Mr Marc Tan starts the campfire by setting up the fire. Group by group we go up to the stage to perform our skit and we did the cheers and songs together . We have our supper after our campfire which is Milo and biscuits. After which, we took our sleeping maps and sleeping bags to the hall for sleeping. We gathered at the canteen again because speedy wants to take us to the music room for Disco. The campfire and the Disco were the most memorable things I did in Day 2.
Day 3
After we woke up , we went for our breakfast. Today was just simply talking to us about some safety rules and do some survey , the blog and we called it a day.

CLASS CAMP !!!!
1st Day of Camp
On the first day of camp, after the morning assembly, we went to the camp room to put down our stuff and take with us only our day packs to Changi. We board the bus and I slept for the whole journey. When we reached the Changi Adventure Centre, we were paired up and carried our kayaks to the shore. Before we kayak we did the water confidence. The water was so cold! My partner was YuTing. Seriously, it was fun to kayak with her! When we were starting to have fun, it started to rain. YuTing and I paddled with all our might as we did not want to stay in the sea in the heavy rain. The water kept running into my eyes so i have to wipe the water away every few minutes! When we reached the shore, the rain started to minimize. Everyone helped to keep the kayaks and paddles. Next we were formed into groups. I was in group D. But for the rafting, i was in group C. Before we had lunch, we gathered the pipes, barrels and ropes for rafting. Next was lunch, it was quite satisfying.
Then it was time to bult the raft. Everyone helped to build the raft under the hot sun except two person. After all the hard work, the raft was was finally completed we checked the raft more than thrice. Our raft seem to survive in the sea the longest. But all we got was sun burn... We helped to keep the barrels and stuff and next we build our tents. The tent building was quite fast. Then we did outdoor cooking. My group took some time to decide what to cook first. We had instant noodles, baked beans, sardine hot dogs and vegetables. Yeah, DeSheng did not eat the vegetables.
Then we did the whizz challenge. Although we did lots of crazy stuff, it was awesome. Next was time to bathe. I remember how long i waited for Kathleen to bathe... Next was supper time. We had milo and biscuits. Then we brushed our teeth and it was time to sleep i tried to sleep the whole night, but with shermin beside me, it was hard to sleep.
2nd Day of Camp
We woke up at 6am, brushed our teeth, kept the tent and gathered for breakfast. The noodles were quite salty, but still edible. We board the bus and went straight to Sungei buloh. First we watched a video clip about the mangrove swamp. Then we started walking and walking with our heavy bags, ate some biscuits and then walked. I tried to copy all the names of the species and plants but where is my green tea?! Then we went back to school for our CRC in the ISH. We were about to do the leap of faith but i did not get to do it because it started to rain. I felt so miserable for not getting to do it. We got our new camp tee and i think our index numbers look wierd on the sleeve.
Then it was time for dinner. At first it was so iritating as we had to do the cheer many times before we could eat. The food was inedible, but i ate everything except the bread anyway... Then, we cleaned the canteen and planned our skit. The skit was about a rude student and the teacher. Then slowly all the parents came, and the camp fire started. We did all those cheers and the skit then we went to bathe. Next we went to the music room for reflection and then we went to the hall to sleep.
3rd Day of Camp
We woke up, brushed our teeth and head down to the canteen for breakfast. I finished breakfast as it was quite edible to me. Then we went to do CPR, bandaging. I remebered sleeping during the whole talk. I felt quite blurr when i woke up. Then we went to the com lab and did the reflection, got back our valules and went home with the heavy bags. >_<

We woke up at 6am, brushed our teeth, kept the tent and gathered for breakfast. The noodles were quite salty, but still edible. We board the bus and went straight to Sungei buloh. First we watched a video clip about the mangrove swamp. Then we started walking and walking with our heavy bags, ate some biscuits and then walked. I tried to copy all the names of the species and plants but where is my green tea?! Then we went back to school for our CRC in the ISH. We were about to do the leap of faith but i did not get to do it because it started to rain. I felt so miserable for not getting to do it. We got our new camp tee and i think our index numbers look wierd on the sleeve.
Then it was time for dinner. At first it was so iritating as we had to do the cheer many times before we could eat. The food was inedible, but i ate everything except the bread anyway... Then, we cleaned the canteen and planned our skit. The skit was about a rude student and the teacher. Then slowly all the parents came, and the camp fire started. We did all those cheers and the skit then we went to bathe. Next we went to the music room for reflection and then we went to the hall to sleep.
3rd Day of Camp
We woke up, brushed our teeth and head down to the canteen for breakfast. I finished breakfast as it was quite edible to me. Then we went to do CPR, bandaging. I remebered sleeping during the whole talk. I felt quite blurr when i woke up. Then we went to the com lab and did the reflection, got back our valules and went home with the heavy bags. >_<

2E3 Class Camp
1st day of camp:
On the first day of camp,we went to changi for kayaking and rafting.When we reach there,we put down our bags first,then,we went to have our briefing on kayaking.After the briefing,we went to take the kayak and the paddles,then,one by one we went to the sea to kayak.JingWen and I partner in the kayking.The weather started fine when we were kayaking,however,as we continue to kayak further,the sky starts to turn black and it started to rain,we had no choice but to paddle back to the shore.The rain was getting heavier and heavier,i couldn't look straight as the rain kept on dropping into my eyes,but as we were getting nearer to the shore the rain subsided.When we reached the shore,we carried the kayak and the paddle back into the places where we first took it.My arms were ACHING from all the paddling!!!!!
Next,we were told to build our raft ourselves,we gather the things needed for building the raft-6 pipes,4 barrel,and 1 box of ropes.We discussed about how to build the raft first,then we went to have our lunch.The lunch was quite okay.After the lunch,we went to build the tent where we will be sleeping in the night.We then returned to continue discussing about how to build our raft.After discussing,we start to build the raft.After around 1 hour plus we finally finished building our raft,however,we discovered that the ropes that were used to tied the barrels and pipes together were not tight enough,therefore,we had to dismantle the raft and restart on building the raft again.This time we use only the barrels.We were the last team to finished building the raft and we were very hot as the sun shone at us.We then take our raft into the sea to see if whether it float or not,but luckily our raft can float but it was very diffficult to climb onto it,the ropes got loosen and one of the barrel came out.The rest of the team also did well for their raft.
Next is our outdoor cooking,we are going to have magi mee for our dinner together with baked beans,vegetables,hotdogs,and sardine.After the dinner,we had Whiz Challenge.It was very fun as it help us to bond as a team,although we did silly things together but I enjoy myself very much.Then we went to bath,had our supper and then we went to sleep in the tent.
2nd day of camp:
In the morning of 2nd day in camp,I woke up at around 6 and I found out that I had sun burns around my neck and nose and it was super,super painful!!!!!We then carried our things outside the tent so that we could take down the tent. Then I went to brush my teeth with my friends. We had Bee Hoon for our breakfast,it was very SALTY!!!!!And the milo doesn't taste like milo at all!!!!
We then board the bus to Sungei Buloh.Unfortunately,when we reached there it was high tide,therefore we couldn't see any animals.But I saw a squirrel jumping from tree to tree!!!!!
We board the bus back to school.Once back to school.we headed to the camp room to change into our long pants for the CRC.We walk to the basketball court for the briefing on the CRC.There was a total of 5 challenges and each pupils must complete at least 3 of the challenges.
The first challenges for my group was the Leap of Faith.I was excited yet scared.While it was going to be my turn soon it started to rain,we had no choice but to go back to the basketball court for shelter and wait until the rain stop.While waiting we played "Blow Wind Blow".After a few rounds the rain stop and we could go back to our challenges,however,I was unable to do the Leap of Faith as we are changing stations.I did a total of 1 high and 2 low challenges,it was quite fun and easy too.If I had the chance,i want to try the Leap of Faith.
It was dinner time,and we were having the food from the Western food stall. The food was very oily and it doesn't taste good at all!!Then we are going to have a skit during the camp fire.We quickly thought of the title for the skit and we came up with the title of "Respect".We rehearse the play for a couple of time and then it was time for the camp fire to start.Some of the classmate's parents came to watch the camp fire.We did lots of cheers and groups were called infront to present their skit to the class.
The camp fire ended quickly and we went to bath,have our supper,write our reflections and then we went to the hall to sleep.
3rd day of camp:
It was the last day of camp,and i woke up at 6.Some of my classmates were having stomachache including me,due to the food that we ate last night!!!It was terribly painful and we had to go to the washroom a lot of times.The breakfast was horrible too but the milo was quite okay...next we went to the music room for the recap of CPR.Then we went back to the camp room and we learn how to help bandaged others.We then went to the IT lap to do surveys.
And finally it was time to go home!!
