NCC leadership camp(:
"INDIANA" JONES RoXSI am back from 4 days of long and short NCC leadership camp! ENJOYED and ENJOYED XDDay ONE : Early morning, went to school to get ready for the camp. Mr Fong chatted with us before the ncc members and ms nadleen boarded the bus and head for SHINES outdoor. Reached. was welcomed by one trainer and 4 facils. Later known their name as Tony, Kenny, Jones,Eunice and YingHan. At first was boring a bit sian. Played alphabet race with everyone, finding different letters to make a word with criteria made by Tony. Then, after that was asked to divide ourselves into three grps. There must be part As,Bs,Cs. At first was in Eunice's grp but cos another grp has alot of part b and we hv alot of part c so me, wei zhuang, glen , gerald went over to Jones group. We had talks among ourselves asa group, asked abt our own goals. dun really want to speak , juz kept quiet. Played helium circle... hands up and down trying to bring the hula hoop down but cant. Everyone the hand was very tiring finally our whole did it (: Then discuss on our grp name and what is 'us' and not us. Suggestions were alot BUT finally came up with this name "Indiana " Jones©Lunch and after that went for low elements. three stations in total. Split own grp into twoand started with an elelment that is needed to send a ball from one side to another. our splitted grp didnt have a chance to complete. Went to the element- with the cross- junction tinki. needa be blindfolded and try to climb over and walk through a tunnel and log to complete. We tried two times becos the frist i accidentally slipped causing the grp to restart. climbing the cross junction was scary cos cant see where to go and i'm afraid i might fall. Finally, completed in 19 mins plus. Michelle said why one one grp can complete only one element and Jones agreed and asked us to tink abt it.Went to the last element where we have to cross alot of log to carry 4 cups of water to the finishing pt. restarted dunnoe how many times two or three- split abit, woei ting accidentally slipped but we carry on and believe on we can do it one.Finally, we completed! This time two grps get to complete the two elements. After that, dinner and played mindfield. Bombed alot of times and peeped alot times but to do push-ups for punishment.After alot long long try finally completed the game as a whole grp. We were happy and celebrated and shocked to find out that we finished 15 mins earlier that the other two grps. Debrief after that. Thn, Tony asked for three volunteers from each grp- it is for panelling to see which grp wins to lead morning exercise or which grp last to wash toliet. Ying Cong went for our grp. Later chiong to the bathroom for bathing. me and joyce were the first to get ourselves cleaned. waited for the other part cs girls . Later went for supper but just drank milo. ms nadleen came with olivia and woei ting asked we would want to accompany them to the other toliet the dark creepy one to accompany the two part a gals to bath. Agreed and brought our milo along. Sinlee called us " MILO GANG" for some reason. hahax... (: Went back to our cabin. Mam coame down saying wanted to sleep with us, later it was so hot she cant tahan and went back up her own. Sinlee, Marjorie and Cindy went with her to accompany her to sleep in the air-con rm. Joyce cam and slept with me , chatted a while and ard 2 plus stopped and slept. Day TWO:Woke up and found out that we lost in the panelling- needa wash toliet.Ryan's grp won and lead the cohort for morning exercise. We were abit disappointed, ying cong lost but didnt realli blame him. Later, jones asked us to think abt the lost problem - did anyone concerned the team and asked abt the panelling. Wanted to wash toliet later but one uncle helped us and we dont need. Jones said this is called luck. A while st off to kallang basin for kayaking. Was briefed abt how to kayak, the parts of kayak etc. Thn, we carry the kayak put on the rag and gragge dit out and headed for the basin. Were told to wear our lifejackets and were told to do floating test. ARH.... the water very dirty and my lower body wet. Thn, me and woei ting paored up and kayaking to another far away pt, need indoor stadium. we were the last few to finish. Later, was asked to lined our kayak together in at fast as we could. Tony asked for volunteers and dunnoe why i volunteer. Listened to instuctions from Tony but somehow kinda listen wrongly and finally understand. Need to fill the kayak full and thn empty when jones say can and put up on shore dry. Very tiring and my grp was first. later, asked to kick out two ppl, and repeat the same whole thing, we won again .Was asked to kick out another two again, we won yet again.
