Sec 3 EDGE camp!
Hihi all, im back from the Sec 3 overseas EDGE camp at Kahang KOREF. Few words to describe it before I really post the whole thing down : Tiring, Terrible, but memorable =D. Photos will be uploaded next time, like maybe a week or so. Maybe even tmr if I remember...
Day One
Arrived in school at first, early in the morning. Departed at around 8+ after assembly. The journey from SG to the our campsite took around 2 - 3 hours, and we spammed Taiti to kill time. Haziq was rather high due to his winning streak =.= Arrived there, met our Instructors and Facils, my class's was Wei Qi. First activity there was lunch =]. Had our first taste of ORGANIC food. Thereafter went on for our real first activity, Bamboo rafting where we had to use a bamboo platform as a raft and sail around in a small pond which depth is only about up to your knee, but the pond bed is super super muddy such that your shoe can get stuck inside. Our "oak" is actually just a long bamboo pole. Managed to survive not getting wet for the whole activity =DD. Thereafter was... Dam I forgot liaos... All I know was that there were campfire preparations, and talent time, which our themes were the Victoria School's Core values. Had dinner then a small night walk around the camp, mainly the grassy area. Hariz was trying to find an Aliphant during the night walk. Thereafter had supper and debrief. Slept at 11pm.
Day two
Woke up at 6.15, 30 mins to prepare before going to the MPH to gather. Had morning PT, then breakfast. Nasi Lemak =P. Then our first activity for that day was water volleyball! Well, it actually changed to water captain's ball since almost everyone of us did not know how to play volleyball. Got split into 2 teams, A and B. I joined B, and got owned. Score was 8-3 respectively =D. Thereafter was the Orang Asli Water obstacle course, practically the most fun yet friggin scary game of all. We had to go through a whole length of obstacle course which was surrounded by the same mud water as the bamboo rafting on the first day. There were shortcuts which were more threatening but may not get wet and also long routes which were less jia lat, but confirm get wet. So instinctively, I took the short cut =P. Was dam friggin scared because we had to walk along a single wooden tree pole, just like that, no supports everything. And right below you was the mud. Luckily, I managed to get through the whole thing once without getting wet AT ALL =P. Pro. Then we had lunch and a short break before we proceeded with the mountain climb at Gunung Lambak. The hike was rather enjoyable yet exhausting. Reached the peak after 1 hour plus, and took a pic. However, it soon rained and we had to chiong down. Shoe got goddam muddy. Was dam tiring lah, dun know how to express in words... But managed to survive till the end... Thereafter went back and had dinner, and camp preparations, then supper. I realised that Miss Marliana's father was actually the owner of Ramly Burger, so she brought back 30 burgers for us. YAY! Finally no peasant food. Slept at 11.45 pm.
P.S Water Ration started today due to drought.
Day Three
. Woke up at 6.30pm, got late for the gathering at MPH. Had breakfast then had to keep our tents, I still dun know why... Why couldnt we just stay in there until the next day... Anyways, skip skip to our first activity for the day which is Padi farming. Well we didnt really farm, the guide just let us use the sickle and gather some padi for our own souvenir =.=. I collecting quite some padi, but they soon died for unknown reasons because the rice kept dropping and dropping. Thereafter, went for our nature walk with guide Mr Alan. He did an excellent job in describing the different plants and their uses, the difference between domestic and wild cockerel and also how to distinguish sounds of the forest. Heard a cicada's sound for the first time and thought that it was some super loud mosquito high frequency. He then lead us to a clear river bank to let us cool our feets. It was practically like a jacuzzi, the water was dam shiok. Rest there for about 15 mins then went back for cheer session. Next was raft building where we had to build a raft out of bamboo and containers. I was rather screwed since not the whole class participated in this. In the end our raft fell apart even before reaching the water. Had sessions of camp preparation once in a while, then had dinner. After resting for a while more, the real thing started. Got really high and wild as we spammed cheer and sang random song like Meatspin theme song. Haha. Red shirt item was rather screwed because most of us did not know the lyrics to the song. .
click>. Though the real song was rather nice and totally different from how we sang. 10 class's skits were all random and we didnt really pay attention to most of em cause we were friggin tired... Campfire ended around 11.30pm and we had debrief at MPH. But before that the red shirts had a meeting. One stupid guy made a stupid comment about the teachers and got stripped of his rank. A bit stupid... Miss Marliana once again did us a favor by buying many snacks for us but I did not eat it since I had a sever sore throat and voice loss. =.= Slept uncomfortably in the MPH at 12.30am...
