Hi, I'm back from the Sec 3 level camp.

Can't tell you how happy I am to be finally away that grueling place. I don't know how to explain it, but it was damn tiring. We walked 32km from Changi to Bukit Panjang from 3am in the morning to 5pm, 14 hours! Then the next day we kayak-ed for 3-4 hours in the hot sun. Sunburn like hell.

Never mind, I shall elaborate in detail day by day.

Day 1

Arrived at school at 7.20am. After everyone arrived and some admin matters, the bus left for Changi Sea Sports club. We reached there at around 11am. We were split into groups, some for land expedition and the others for sea expedition. The first day was quite slack. We started off by introducing ourselves and playing team games. Later, we cooked our own lunch of noodles, broccoli, pineapple strips, and potatoes.

Later we had camp craft. My group built this laundry thing which also can put shoes to dry. Quite cool actually.

Then all the groups gathered. The camp facilitator gave us garbage bags to pick up litter. A prize of two bottles of Sprite and a box of Oreo were given to the group which collected the most rubbish. What a dirty way to motivate us, lol. In the end, the area was super clean.

Dinner was ok, though quite a small portion. Again we had to cook. Noodles, baked beans, and sausages. After that half of the group went to bathe while the other half did the orienteering for the 32km walk the next day. And vice versa later on.

After the debrief, lights out.

Day 2

Woke up at 2am. Gathered our foodstuff and started the 32km land expedition. The route was from Changi Sea Sports Club to the Montfort Center (Assumption English School).

Walked from Changi to Pasir Ris, our first checkpoint. We rest for 15 minutes before heading to Kovan through the old Tampines road. Stopped for breakfast somewhere near Ikea. Breakfast was an apple, and some biscuits. At Heartland Mall, we had another short break. We continued to Serangoon, then Bishan through the Braddell Road.

With low water supply, we carried on to MacRitchie Reservoir. Took the Lornie trail with the intention of exiting from the rifle range. Unfortunately, we met a dead end and walk back and exit through the ranger station. By 6pm, only a few groups made it to AES. The rest of us took the bus back to CSSC. We had to cook dinner again. Rice, carrots, eggs, and fish fingers.

Later, the groups going for sea expedition the next day gathered cause Mr. Tan wanted a talk with us. We separated into new groups then went to sleep.

We were woken up once at 12am and another at 4am to check attendance. At the 2nd check, several students were found missing. Apparently, they had ran home. Since one of the missing students were from our group, we had to stay back awhile so they could take our statements. Bleah, talk about deprivation of sleep.

Day 3

Woke up at 7am. Broke up into our groups and got on the bus to Pasir Ris Sea Sports Club.
Kayak-ed to Loyang where we had our lunch and back. We stopped for the day. We went back to Pasir Ris park where we set up our bashas (some tent-like thing). Finally, we had packet food for dinner. A lot of additional food also.

Day 4

The last day! We were awaken by the instructors and 6.30 I think. Ate breakfast and prepared to kayak again. This time, we kayak-ed to Coney Island. Played some games there before going back. We changed our clothes and took the bus back to CSSC. Once there, we packed all our things and ate lunch. And at long last, the bus came to bring us back to school.
