national camp

okay. some people may have noticed that i didn't go to on one friday. haha. it was due to national camp. anyway, NATIONAL CAMP 06. it rocks. the camp was at pasir laba camp. an army camp. the national camp was held there such that at that time, the army guys were at the outdoors having their camping there for four days three nights while we slept at that bunks. seriously, the army bunks are fantastic. okay. so there was this building just dedicated to the girls bunk. the building itself with its grounds, is more than half the times of our school. pasir laba camp was SERIOUSLY GIGANTIC.


i was put into CHARLIE2. atiqah rahoul and candice were in charlie3. wa lao. all pangseh. but never mind, i had an syf mate put in with me. activities immediately began on that day. it was dragonboating. man. it was SHIOK SIA. i got a tan and it is still staying on. then, it was dinner and then some charlie group time. on this day, i made two new friends. yithng and jolene. the next day, poof. many more activities. made more new friends. EVERYDAY i make more new friends and got to know them better.


the many activities in the camp were dragonboating, rappeling, rock climbing, frisbee, street soccer, indoor games, survival skills, first aid, cpr, archery, fc-16 simulation shooting, outdoor cooking, and a few more. there were many others that we didn't do like carter rowing, kayaking, paintball shooting, mountain biking and a few more.


there were memorable teammates like me, yithng, jolene, benedict, rachel, jiayi, weston, stephanie, lawerence, noah, terrence, kangfeng, prasad, hilme, hairul, wilfred, sylvia, farhana, wendy, huiwen, qiahhan, dick and louis. sorry for those that i can't remember.


there were 6 groups, alpha bravo charlie delta echo and foxtrot. in in every group, there were 6 platoons. one platoon had 30 people. so one group had 180. so six groups have a total of 1080 campers. then, there are TONS of instuctors and the total amount of people at the pasir laba camp added up to 1600 people! and the campsite could fit this amount of people and you could still get lost in the camp.


i really had a fun time at this camp.

that seriously looks sick. ben
