Day 1
We were on the bus, going to St.Johns Island, for our Hwa Chong secondary 1 camp. On the bus, the two instructors from the camp, Justin and Shafiq, introduced themselves. They were really friendly and it was not long before we became close buddies. Elated and excited, everyone was with hoping that the bus ride would be faster so we cold get to our camp.
……… (Nothing really happened)
We got on the boat ad during the journey, Zihan felt very tired and took a rest, he fell asleep and happened to lose his balance and fell on me. At that time, I was also tired and resting, Mrs Anu, dying to get a picture of me
(I don’t know why?) Took a snapshot of me and Zihan sleeping! I felt so humiliated! We reached St. Johns Island and took a long walk to our destination.
……… (Nothing really happened except for a short briefing)
We learnt to pitch a tent and carried on with some activities. There was the exhausting and energy consuming commander’s crawl which made a hole in Zihan’s pants. There were also other games. It was time for lunch as we did the hungry cheer. At night, we did a kidnap game were Qiyuan was abducted. I, huisheng, and William went on a quest to find him. Without any clues, it was almost impossible to find him. A one point of time, I went into a place which I found rather suspicious and found a few instructors with a bunch of students which I think Qiyuan was there. I knew we had found them but the instructors shooed us away. In the end Qiyuan was found there.
At night we sleep in the tent, the 1st hour was BURNING HOT!!!!! After the hour, it was rather cooling and just as I was about to sleep, Jack change turned around to sleep in another angle and fell asleep, leaving me and Arnold to a small little space. We could not even stretch our legs! It was too cramp but I finally slept.

Day 2
We woke up and my leg was cramped up but we got ready for the day. For the activities, we did a human pyramid, it was so FUN!!! The fun part was falling down and I was on top of William who was screaming in pain, I also remember falling on Shao Dian a couple of times who was quite macho so he didn’t felt it pain. At last we did it! After the fun games, we went on to decide on our campfire performance-dance. I was laughing my hearts out as Jack (the one with the curly hair) had to act as a girl! The dance steps were embarrassing and I was reluctant to dance but did after the enthusiastic Zihan encouraged me.
We then did an entangling game with William, again, was screaming helplessly as his arm was contorted into a wild mess. We also played a game-on my laps which WILLIAM fell so many times. He is the NO.2 joker while Zihan is the first. It now came to the game we have al been looking forward to, Captain’s Ball. As the game proceeds, everyone was hacking their way and was having ‘war’ to fight for the ball. There was an instance where me and Wei Jin was playing monkey with a small kid- it was so COOL! The small and ignorant boy then fell onto the ground after banging me. Group 15 and 16 decided to collaborate and help one another to win. In the end we scored a lot of points and I think we were among the top classes.
Campfire!! Everyone was nervous on our act and had no choice but to perform when called. Before ach performance, the instructors would dance to the music played and occasionally pulled students up to dance. Once, Justin was looking at us and I smelt a rat, thinking, “Don’t pick me, don’t pick me!!” then, an arm pulled me and the next thing I knew, I was dancing with Justin. (Lucky Mrs Anu didn’t take picture!!!)
After the camp fire, we proceeded to our dormitories and surprisingly, I fell asleep immediately as it was so cooling compared to the tent.

Hwa Chong Camp

Day 3
It was the last day and we did our last cheer. We did not even do area cleaning. We picked up our luggage and left for the jetty. In the boat, we played a few games with 1O4 and it was quite fun as we bomb here and there.
--------------End-------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Reflections~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this whole camp, I felt it was really fun and rewarding. I learnt how to appreciate things- food/ water etc….
I also learnt how important teamwork is and learn basic life skills.
I will certainly look forward to another camp.
