Few days after coming back to Batam
Feeling boring after coming back to Batam. Although it should be fun and excited , i still feeling bored since i never going out from the day i arrived here. It i s because my parents are all busy with their work and had no time to go out with my siblings and me. Maybe until Saturday then they had spare time for us. Yesterday was really stressful. It was all about YMCA project. Sitting in front of the computer for around 4 hours and produce little bit details for our project. Fortunately, i no needed to go back to Singapore as the VWO did not open on saturday. ^^ Therefore,i could spend more time with my family and go out to eat seafood. HAHAHAHAGS...

Sec 3 Camp
Few days ago, went to the sec 3 camp that was held at Bukit Batok Home team NS Adventure Centre. It was really damm exausted.
First day. Before we started our journey to the Adventure Centere, we were being introduced by the instructor of the camps about the activities that would be going on through out this camp. Our instructors are instructor Kenneth Joel Chandran and instructor Vanessa who was also our senior in our school. She had been graduated since 1993. After that we moving on to the camp site by bus and arrived there at around 11 am. Following this, we went to Bukit Timah hill to have our orienteering of map and compass. We walked along the Kampong Trail there. Due to the limited of time, we were only be able to complete until the second checkpoint. We took some photos there with our form teacher, Ms Lai and the instructor. Subsequently, we went back to the camp site for our lunch. I did not like the lunch at all. The rice was not fragant, the dishes are not enough, only a fillet fish ,one small fishball and small portion of vegetables. I finally realised that the hostel food was not so bad than what we used to be. After that we continued our activities of high elements such as Zip Line and High Ropes cross. It was really fun and excited to play the Zip line. I wanted to play once again . However, each person could only play for once. At night, all the students were ordered to pitch their tents at the specific place. The place was not comfortable at all. Fortunately, i brought my sleeping bag which made the situation better. I had been forced to sleep with other class 3H which i didnt expected before. It was all because of the annoying instructor Kimberly!! Althought the friends there were quite friendly, i still not used to sleep with strangers. However, sleep must still going on. I tried to sleep as soon as possible.
Second day. Woke up early at 6 am. Most of us didnt take a bath as we were going to have our water activities today at the Changi Camp site. First acitvities we had today was the river crossing. Due to the low tide of the river, we crossed the river without any challanges. It was because we could just walk through the river, so boring. After that, we went to the beach to have our sea rafting.Unfortunately, the wave at that time was too high and dangerous for us to play the sea rafting. What makes the anger was that after we had decided to stop the activities, the wave had calmed down!!! We wanted to continue the sea rafting activites but the instructor said that it was the time for our lunch. We could not continue the sea rafting after the lunch too. It was because the time clashed with our class. We had to bear the disappointment in our heart. Later on, we continued the activities with kayaking. We played the kayaking for three hours and got sun burn after that. My body became like a charcoal. Now my body had two colours, fairly white and red-brown colours. I HAD TO TAKE FEW MONTHS TO CHANGE BACK TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLEXION. Following this, we had our camp fire at night. We were the most united class there. We performed it well. Hehehehe....Suddenly, lighting flased and thunder roared. It started raining cats and dogs. What rushed to my minds was where we were going to sleep tonigh?It was 12pm already, the raining still didnt stop. Then, the instructor ordered class by class to use the cover of the tents as an umbrella to move on to the chalet that we placed our belongings. The girls would be sleeping inside the domitory while the guys sleep under a roof with open area,no doors or windows.
Third day. Finally going home. The first thing i thought was going home and take a long shower. We went back to our school at 12 am , hailed for a taxi and went back to hostel.
