My Sec 1 Orientattion camp ! :D Let me share to you about my first camp in ZhengHua Sec School . 1st day~~I was so excited about the camp! (I always feel excited about these things) I was so scared i forgot to bring anything so i double checked my items .. i found out that ... Nothing was missing! Hahas ! When I reached school at 11 p.m. i saw that half of my friends were already there ! .. Wow all so "kiasu" . No offence .. We sat in the Hall for like about a few hours to let the councilors a.k.a facs /facilitators to settle everything first . I wanted to take pictures of the camp but they took away our valuables for "safe" keeping . They say until so nice "safe" but actually is confiscating .. Hahas ! some people does not want to give up their valuables and the teachers say okay nevermind if lost right they can't help it . We then started to set out for our campsite .. (reached) We settled down quickly infront of the canteen . By the way , our campsite is located at Changi so alot of aeroplanes passs by every 5 minutes or so (you may be wondering how we sleep at night but I'll safe that for later) .After everything was taken care of we went to our meeting place (a place where we meet when we are practising for cheers etc.) Cheers are taught and games are played .. (Reaching dinner time...) Fac A shouted ,"Kay ! let's do the Gako (the frog)cheer!" 1E2 councilours sang to us 1 time . 1 classmate said , " What
kinda * language is that!" Fac A said, " Japanese." The same classmate said, " We are Singaporeans
marh, why must we speak Japanese
leh?" The facs were getting fed up by then .. Fac B then said " Okay then let's do the Bimbo Cheer." The facs sang it to us 1 time . Classmate B yelled , "
eeeyer, i don't want to be bimbo
leh!" The facs were raging by now, that they stopped talking and hide in one corner. (Dinner time) we went for dinner and then went back to our meeting place. The facs by then were not so angry anymore and we continued to do cheer until... We were all too noisy and were asked to be silent.Fac A Shouted, " give me 1 silent clap!! " The class clapped but they continued talking as if nothing had happened. That made the facs very very very sad. Then, they hid at 1 corner again. This time it was much more serious as his was our third offence. THe facs from the other classes gave us a scolding.
Some of us were remourseful and felt guilty. We went to bathe and then sleep.
Day 2
Yay N.E. Hike day ! We went for our hike around Changi. We walk and walk and walk for long, long, long hours. The hike was like never ending . But , the good thing was the facs were friends with us again ! Woohoo!That walk was much more relaxing. we went to see alot of things on our hike like the Changi Chapel & Museum , Changi Prison (only the fence that cover the whole thing!), the monster gun place, Changi Village and Changi Beach. after all that, we went back to the campsite and ate dinner , do cheers , bathe then sleep. I am finally telling you how we sleep at night haha forget about that already , right? We sleep very soundly at night because .. we were forced to ... thats the way we sleep we sleep we hate it we sleep we sleep... HaHas .
Day 3
The day of Rafting and high/low ropes element courses!
We went for the High/Low ropes element first and some were too afraid to try the Flyingt Fox so they back out .. I didn't really did until the high ropes accept for the flying fox if counted as one. The flying fox was super duper fun ! 2 of my classmates who really wanted to try the flying fox could not do so as Classmate C do not dare to jump down and took 45 minutes to get ready.The low ropes have their difficulties as you will need to use alot of mental power to complete them. The next activity was rafting. We took about i think more than 1hour to learnt how to tie knots and do lashing so as to tie our raft. It took alot of hard work to finish our raft with 6 pipes and 4 barrels ... Many people were injured even before they took their class raft out to sea. As we need to do a water confident test before entering the sea with our raft , we need to do it in the more shallow part of the sea and that is beside a clift. the clift is very rough as many shells were sticking onto it .. people cut themselves and whatsoever. I didn't got hurt , because i was lucky. It'll be much worst if you went onto your raft. My group was the last to finish our raft and didn't get the chance to go in to the sea and another group because there were too many victims.So sad . A the end of the day, we went to bathe , ate dinner , prepare for the campfire , played a bonus game and then to sleep. The bonus game goes like this, the camp commity gives you an egg ,a trash bag , newspapers and masking tape. You are to thing of a way to not let the egg break if u throw the egg to the ground with a hard force/from a high place.
Each class was split into 2 groups and to figure out how to do it. My gropu wrapped the egg into a dinosaur like ball thingy. Do you guys think it'll work well guess for yourself :D
Day 4

We had to leave this place already. We were all so happy to go home but before we do that we had to clean our designated area which is the toilet . Eeew ,right?We had a hard time cleaning the toilet but it worked out nice. after cleaning up we went home.
