day 1...
reached school with Julia Tan...dili dalied for bout 1hr before the whole programme really started...almost everybody were excited bout the camp...we learnt that Xinyi was the camp commandant for that day...the bus came and we students loaded up lots of stuff onto the bus..the tents 1.5litre bottles chairs sch flag and lots of stuff...and so we procceded to the far end of east coast park...a number of ppl slept on the bus...excluding me...we reached there...unloaded every single thing and set up camp... there was much trouble in chosing of the accomodation...the teachers kept reminding us that we need not follow to whatever they said...in the end...we pitched tents near the pavillion..had lunch...i did not pitch tents but carried those canoes to the beachside...boy they were heavy...we then had our briefing then we then started our training on kayaking/canoeing...my partner was Yiling...she couldn't take it and got seasick...i had to do everything myself....saw her vomit in the sea...shan't move into the details...i only can say that after that day...my whole body was aching like siao..the rafting up made poor Yiling sick...after that training we had dinner...ate it all up man...was tired and hungry...went to wash up...then we had debrief for the night...was pretty nervous when it was my turn to say something...wasn't very satisfied and proud of my speech...then it ended...for that night only...did night sentry duty at 1am with Yiling...very exciting!!! we both watched the stars the planes the police car that kept on passin by our campsite...counted the canoes lifejackets and paddles...watched the safety boats...then came two women...they were super suspicious...smoking talkin very loudly...had lots of 'hand signals'...at 2am..we went to sleep and let Constance and Julia take over...our tent had me Yiling Constance Julia Tan and Eunice Soh...
day 2...
had stretching exercises in the morning...did the chest expansion exercises...it beat was like one two three argh.one two three argh...very pain...had breakfast...we then had to set off for kallang basin...changed partner...had Xinyi...she was pretty strong in the first leg of the expedition but in the end she could not 'tahan' anymore n she started resting n resting n resting...leaving me to do everything...after bout 5hrs under the treacherous sun n waves...we finally made it to kallang basin...i had held my bladder for 5 hrs!!! the whole lot of us kayaking knew that i had to pee...wanted to pee in the sea but i dared not...Xinyi said to pee in the kayak..i tried but i couldn't....tried with lots of force but still couldn't so i 'ren' till we reached shore...i was super relieved when i had the chance to go to the toilet...we then had some kind of briefing...duh...Lanz was the camp commandant for that day...we then had lunch...we had more briefing and then we learnt from Mr Aw that were to go for dragon boating...oh my...our muscles were aching and still dragonboat?! but we had at least 40mins of rest...then we had to make our way to the dragon boating association...i then realised that i may see Kenneth there as the kayaking association was also there...Gina was super 'dirty' when we were gathering at the grounds of the association...i dunno why but all of us girls were like looking at the guys beside us..they were half naked!!! all of us suddenly become very chatty and noisy and hyper and the guy councillors seemed to become jealous...they were most probably jealous that we weren't paying much attention to them but to the other guys frm other schools :) lol...my dragonboating grp had May Gina Lanz Hong Chin Me Yiling Eunice Alvin Jocelyn Tan Janelle Stephen Julia Tan Constance [i'm sorry i missed out anybody i can't really remember]...we won the race with the other boat!!! we won!!! we played a game twice on the boat!!! it was super fun!!! almost capsized the boat but it was fun man!!! :D n because of the game we bathed late...there were only 2 shower cubicles for bout 20 girls!!! it took more than an hr man...we went back to our campsite...then we went to beach rd for dinner...the dinner totally sucked man...didn't eat much and by supper i was starving man...but for supper we had sandwiches!!! wow!! that satisfied my hunger...luckily i didn't have sentry duty that night/morning...or else i wouldn't have the energy for the nxt trip back to east coast...there was some obscence details that i shan't mention but my tent mates would understand...gave me tent mates massage...they enjoyed it totally man...
day 3...
it's the last day..many ppl had aches including me but it wasn't that much...many of us were quite enthu..i dunno how to explain this man...lotsa emotions....the camp commandant for that day was Yongzhi...a new councillor...we were pretty organized on the last day...we quickly brought the canoes to the sandy shores...we completed everything in time i think..we then set off back to east coast...oh yes one more thing...i was the starboard i/c for that day n my partner was Rachel Gong..*whew*..i got a strong girl man...but at the last leg she kept on resting..we had breakfast in the sea!!! that was shiok man!!! we reached east coast 2 hrs earlier...the teachers cooked up some punishment for us and so we had to kayak all the way back to some jetty...Rachel was very pek chey liao lor...but we still made it!!! alright man!!! when we reached back to east coast...we were still early so we had ice-cream!!! so nice!!! ice cream nvr felt so GOOD!! me than had to wash lifejackets...then helped in the washing of the kayaks...after that whole washing thing ended we gathered again for lunch...the lunch wasn't that gd la...only the stingray was nice...hehe....we then had to unload our bags and bathe...after bathing we had a very last debrief and hugs went round end then we had to board the bus back to sch...haha...the bus trip was so funny but i fell asleep for bout 5mins la...Yiling had a peaceful one....we loaded the stuff into the council room and it was home sweet home!!!

reflections: we build bonds better thru hardship which was the kayaking...encouragement is power in such cases...moral courage is important...teamwork cooperation are some of the qualities of leadership...we need gd communication skills to succeed to...
