I know that i am supposed to be sleeping now, but oh well. Just a quick one.
Camp Day 1
Fall in at 8am. Then we spent quite a lot of time standardizing our stuff witth the whole course[Alpha, Bravo & Charlie platoon]. After we finally standardized our stuff we checked in to our bunks and clean up the bunk. Thennnnn i forgot all the way up till after lunch. After lunch had footdrill until fieldactivities. Damn fun. Haha. The Alpha platoon did tent first. My section was like the fastest to pitch and unpitch the tent. Haha. Then our section commander[Annabelle!] realised that we had lots of time to spare, so we sat down and discussed about our campfire skit. After the tent we did flagpole/shoerack. So, my section volunteered for the flagpole. Again we finished first. Haha. So we just continued to discussed about our campfire skit. After the flagpole is some banshee thingy.Finished too fast again. When w just finished dismantling the banshee thingy some other sction commander came to us and said that they need us to hold the banshee thingy so can take pic. My whole group was like "Huhhhhh..." at that time. Haha. So we just chiong and fixed it up, took a pic and dismantled it again. After all the pitching is outdoor cooking. The discipline master told us to like race to take our food. So one person will go once, taking only one food item back with him/her. Last two team had to sign extra. Ok... story cut short. We didnt have to sign extra. So we cooked and our poor section commander and platoon sergent had to eat our uncooked and overcooked rice. Haha. Then the eggs were disgusting. The shells have already gone very soft... After outdoor cooking will be last parade. That was the time i was appointed as Course IC for the next day... When my name was called i was like stunned there...
Campfire Day 2
Woke up to firedrill. Had trouble with attendence, did physical training with commanding official. Includes relay run, pumpings, crunches, jumping jacks and some speed thingy where u jog/walk for 1min, then sprint for 30 secs. Not easy hor the speed thingy. After physical training was breakfast, then is survivor challenge. Hike all the way to punggol park, completed a few stations.
First Station: Frog jump, sit-ups, jumping jacks and wheelbarrow walk
Second station: Flipping over a poncho with every section member on it, helium hoop
Third station: Some maths thingy
Fourth station: Captains ball
Fifth station: Find 3 candles of the same colour
On the return trip we took a bus back. Haha. But when we returned to the bunk we found out that it was triage immediately after this. So everything was every chaotic and triage was screwed up with all the evacuation team members and more than half of the casualties dead. After triage was dinner, then theory test. Screwed up theory test btw. After theory test was last parade and debrief. To my horror i have sentry duty... That means dun nid to sleep... Sentry duty damn cold. We were like practically frozen to death. Then S2 Advisor came and told us that we can sit down to seek shelter from the cold wind.
Camp Day 3
Ok... This day must write longer. Complain about how my section, or rather platoon[including the Platoon Sergent] saboed me... So same thing, physical training, breakfast. Camp day3 have method of instruction for both foot-drill and first-aid. So my section did MOI foot-drill first, and i did hormat as my MOI. After lunch was MOI first-aid and i did a full body check-up for that. Fared quite well. after MOI we were told to slack a bit, change into camp tee and jeans, discuss about campfire skit. Then around 6pm-7pm the campfire started. Alpha was damn high. Haha. We were spamming the Alpha Cheer, rebutting the MC[in a good way] and dicussing about what kind of surprises should we do next. Haha. So first was some cheering, then the guest-of-honor entered. After the GOH settled down we cheered and presented our skit. After the 3 skits from each section in every platoon, there was some kind of sharing session where the platoon choose 2 representives to go up and say their feelings about the camp. So finally it was Alpha's turn. Then i kena saboed by platoon sergent and Alpha, keep chanting my name... So i just came up said my feelings lor. But i invited the whole Alpha up to sing "Nobody" to the commanding official, then he was like super stun! Haha. So it was screwed up at first, but then Benjwe led the whole Alpha, so we at least finished the chorus for commanding official. After our cheers was a game. Agained saboed by Alpha... supposed to do actions related to pancake! Me and two other more guys were all stun down there. After the game is very fun. We were challenging the trainers in a cheering competition with the discipline master on our side. Haha. The when th trainers went down to pumping postions the trainees were like screaming out " Trainers, butts up!", "Trainers, I dun wan to see any knees on the floor!", "Trainers, knees straight!", "Trainers, mind over body!", "Trainers, Endure!". Haha. Then the discipline master said,: Trainees, they are your trainers. Can you at least show some respect for them?" Then trainees super quiet liao. Haha. After that was round 2, where we lost and had to pump 5. After this cheering competition, the discipline master gave us a challenge. near us was a block of flats. If we can cheer until the lights go on in the flats, we will then stop cheering. Turns out that after a few more turns the owner got super pissed and turned on the lights. Haha. Then we all cheered. After the challenge we went to have the best dinner ever! Buffet spread. Super nice. Then PC came to sit with us and we kept adding food onto his plate. Haha. After the buffet was debrief and stuff.
Camp Day 4
Last day! Everyone super high! Super slack. PT, breakfast and then bunk cleanup. My platoon finished bunk cleanup quite fast. Haha. Area cleaning super nice to us. We only had to clean the AVA room cause the Multi-purpose hall and the indoor sports hall occupied. So no need to clean. Haha. After area cleaning we had our last challenge, and i loved that challenge the most. We are supposed to finish up a watermelon and the last group will be the last to leave. Then if the trainers lost, then had to pump an additional 20. So the trainers lost, and the trainees all super high. Haha. So after the last challenge was last parade and our SC was the flagrasier. So flagraising was quite... Lol. After camp I went with Arturo, Benjamin, Derrick and Jun Hong to eat macs.
