Back from another camp

Finally, all the camps are over. Phew!

Felt really tired after two camps back-to-back. Shoulders aching, plus wounds all over my hands and legs, due to cuts that I got myself during the activities as well as those irritating, countless mosquito bites! Argh... shall stop scratching before they start to bleed...

Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the second camp, held at Sarimbun Scouts Camp. Again, the food was nice, the instructor was superb, and my group mates were a bunch of really fun, friendly and funny people. Got to know many people from other countries too! Haha, next time can go visit them in their home countries and at the same time, make a complete tour around ASEAN countries le :P

The activities were very exciting and challenging too. Ha, first time doing a mud spa by dipping my whole body in a whole pool of mud, right up to the neck. (It's free and 100% natural, anyone wants to try? :P) Though we got real muddy and dirty, we did lots of funny things with the mud, like styling people's hair with mud, "camouflaging" our faces with mud, etc. Too bad didn't take photos cos we couldn't. But really, it was a once-a-lifetime experience.

Other activities included kayaking, during which two people capsized right in the middle of the sea and the rest had to rush to their rescue; hiking around Lim Chu Kang area, which we got to see parts of Singapore that were totally different from what we normally see, like the recycling site, the goats and frogs farm, the mangrove swamp, etc; outdoor cooking, had to build our own fire using dried sticks, leaves and charcoal, was in-charge of the fire and got myself covered by a whole layer of thick black soot at the end of it, but anyway it was good experience; campfire night, which my group won the best performance! Hip, hip, hurray!

Would say that the camp was really an enriching and enjoyable one, only bad thing about it would probably be the camping site on which we built our tents - it was infested with all sorts of bugs, especially ants, and many of us suffered ant-attacks in the middle of the night. There was once we even found a frog jumping about in my tent! Eeeewww.... haha...

Now that all the camps are over, it's time to get back to reality and start all the work again. Realised that work has been piling up, and it's high time to start revising for block test. Have that feeling of impending doom le... Not a good sign...

Well, shall end off here and go to sleep le...

Nitez....
