Couldn't believe that I survived the adventure camp,its so damm tiring,but overall its pretty good.
Day 1
Went to school and we were divided into groups and played some ice breaker games.Had to surrender our handphones to them and we set off for trekking.We were given a map and then we had to trek from school all the way to Macritchie Reservoir.There were games along the trek as well.Luckily it did not rain or not it would be quite difficult to move through the mud and soil.That's more than 20km in total and I think we took more than 4 hours to reach there.On the way there,saw Hazel there for her canoeing activity.
After the long hours of trekking,we rest for a while and waited for a bus to come.Felt a sense of achievement as I have never walked that far before.The bus came and I slept on the bus and then when I woke up,I realised that we were not going back to school BUT heading towards Changi Beach.We spent the night there and 9 guys had to squeeze into one tent.The beach is so freaking hot,there wasn't any breeze at all and all of us were perspiring inside the tent and had difficulties sleeping.
Day 2
Had honeycombs for breakfast and took a ferry to Pulau Ubin.Did a bit of stretching before we went off for cycling around Pulau Ubin.The last cycling activity I had was like ages ago.There were many up-slopes and down-slopes.Down-slope is the best as the speed at which we are going is thrilling.After not long,my legs began to feel tired but I just had to keep on paddling.While cycling,a wild boar suddenly came running out of the trees and it was just a few meters away from me.I really do not know what to say if it were to crash onto me -.-
Cycled for the whole morning and afternoon and many people were tired.So we rest for a while.My whole crotch felt damm pain X_x;;
Night time came and we had 2 packets of instant noodles to cook.2 packets had to be shared among 8 people in a group.We sat in a circle ate one mouth of noodles and passed it to the next person,so everyone ate like 3-4 scoops and that goes our dinner -.-
wow so filling...
Following up was our campfire.Did cheers,campfire songs and skit.My group's skit is about 3 adventurers trekking in a forest and they saw 2 ghosts and one of the adventurers died as the ghosts hanged him(which is me).Then the 2 adventurers went to seek help from a bomoh but the bomoh was helpless.So the 2 adventurers took ferry back to Singapore and reported to the police and they came back to Pulau Ubin to find back my dead body.Then my body was brought back to Singapore for funeral and the skit ended.lol -.-
After the campfire has ended,we had Night Walk at Pulau Ubin.It was pitch black and we could barely see the path ahead of us.At first I had jitters because there were many rumours about Pulau Ubin =/ but slowly later the nervous feeling had gone as I told myself if I have done nothing wrong I do not have to feel scared.Was partnered with a girl and we had to walk in pairs,except for a guy he had to walk alone because his group had odd number of people.We had to follow the lightsticks on the floor and then whenever a person said "TAS" we have to tell them our group name and number.Apparently there was this man in white sitting on the road facing the trees so I just said hello to every figures I saw under the fading moonlight.He ignored me and so I continued walking with my partner.Continued walking for around 15 minutes and then we heard noises behind us.My partner and I thought they were the GLs trying to scare us from the back.I wanted to turn back and looked but my partner said its better not to do so.We continued walking and then the people behind us caught up with us and they happened to be another pairs from our group,which means my partner and I walked very slow to the pace that another pair caught up with us also.6 people walking together in the night walk lol.
Night Walk ended and we went back to our tent and slept.The beach here is very windy compared to Changi Beach,if not we would all not sleep well again.Before we slept,everyone was damm thirsty and kept talking about the cold drinks and ice kachang they will spam drinking after the camp ends.We were not allowed to buy anything from the stores in Pulau Ubin and because Pulau Ubin's water is not clean,we can only rely on our water supplies we had from Changi Beach.I kept picturing the cold drinks on my mind to the extent that I dreamt about eating ice kachang in my dream and that felt really COOOL.Bleah it was just a dream.
Day 3.
Took ferry back to Changi Beach in the morning and everyone rushed to the toilet to fill their bottles with tap water and started drinking away.A bus came and took us to another place.It happened to be the MOE Changi Camp which I went during the Sec 3 Adventure Camp 2 years back with my secondary school.The place where planes fly by every few minutes...
Had kayaking for the whole afternoon and this was another vigorous activity.We kayak in pairs and we had to kayak to EAST COAST PARK!!!I do not know how long it took us to reach there but according to the GLs we took like 2 hours plus to reach there.My hands were like dropping anytime and I suffered from seasick -.- went to the toilet and vomited.No appetite for lunch already.
After lunch,the GLs said that we had to paddle our way back to the MOE Changi Camp.I was like WTF NOOOO!No choice but we had to kayak all the way back for another 2 hours plus.Luckily the waves weren't that strong as we had to kayak against the current.The weather was scorching hot but thanks to the strong wind we did not feel the intensed heat from the sun.
I paddled with all my force till my upper limbs were breaking apart.Although its tiring,its nice and relaxing to see the boundless sea and sky and it sort of like made us forget the tiredness.
After reaching the shores,everyone was sunburnt and all our skins were reddish in colour.Slowly later everyone felt the pain the sunburnt has caused all over our exposed skin.And since I paddled like mad I did not use the correct way of holding the paddles so my hands got blisters but luckily they were small.
Went back to school after kayaking and we had to clean our tents before we were released.Only then our handphones were given back to us and everyone started calling and texting.
I survived this hiong-est camp ever.Lack of sleep,food and water plus all the strenuous activities ...woahh can die!! Now I'm suffering from sunburnt and muscle aches and am a chaota(smoked and burnt person) now.
Overall,this camp is really fun!
