27th-30th Nov Camp
Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Ok, now i will go on to Day 2, the 2nd post. That day, we did many physical stuff.

Day 2(28th Nov 12am- 29th Nov 12am):

Ya, lights out at 11pm on 27th Nov... But we were woken up at 1am to do a short Night Walk, which was to move out of the campsite and walk back in again. This took about 2hours so we went back to sleep at about 3am. And then we woke up at 6am. I dint get a very nice sleep since it was the 1st night and oso bcuz of that Night Walk. Somemore , at night, dam noisy, as in those cricket sounds and dogs barking. Then, we brushed teeth, then after that fall in at 7am.

Soon, we had breakfast. After breakfast, it was area-cleaning. Our 1st area to clean is the hall. It was a rather simple task, since the hall was not so dirty.

After area-cleaning, we had our 2nd obstacle course. It was the High Outdoor Adventures. We had to finish every station to complete the obstacle course. We separated into 5 groups. There were 7 stations in total.

For my group, the 1st station was the broken bridge, followed by the log, the ropes, logs and tyres, beam balance, rock climbing and flying fox ( zigline). Before doing each station, we had to be on belay and confirm that it is safe to climb. So everyone had to asked, "Am I on belay?" Then, we should get an answer yes. After that, we asked for a squeeze check so to ensure the rope is tightened. Then ask again, "Climbing..." We should get an answer climb on, then start to climb.

When I was doing the 1st station, I was like so tensed and scared. Wheneva I look down, my legs tend to shiver. It was like so high up... and I had to move my legs slowly from 1 platform to the next. The platforms was oni tied to ropes, so it was quite unstable. However, I still completed it and I oso gained confidence after that. So when I move on to the rest of the station, I am no longer so tense and scared.

So yup, the 2nd station was quite simple, it was just a log, very stable, so i completed that quite fast.

The 3rd station was the ropes, the rope is stable, but the problem is my feets were unstable, such that when I want to move on, I will feel like falling. I oni completed that station at about 10 minutes.

The 4th station was the hardest station, the logs and tyres. In that station, I saw many pple falling, so I was wondering whether I will fall as well. However, I was not disheartened and amazingly, I completed that station. That station had oni 4 platforms. 2 tyres and 2 planks, which were unstable. The problem lies with the tyres, cuz its not easy to move from the tyre to the plank.

The 5th station was the beam balance. It was somewhat similar to the log, except that, it is unstable and will swing about, and yup when i mean unstable, i mean that they can swing about. I oso completed that station.

After the 5 stations, we then had a water parade. It was 12pm already, so we had lunch first. After that, we had some rest.

Then we moved on to the 6th station. It was the rock climbing. It was 1 of the hardest station cuz many pple gave up half way. I took about half hours to complete that station. Half the time i was stoning there cuz i ran out of energy >< However, I dint give up, I pulled through all and finally i touched the top felt so happy!! :D Then after that, I came down.

We had rest until 3pm then we moved on to the Zipline. Zipline does not require much strength, in fact, it dont require any at all cuz u just have to hold on to the rope tied to the "handle" tightly and just simply swing downwards. At the start, it was rather scary. Its like u walk walk walk, then suddenly fall off a cliff, that kind of feeling. But after that comes the fun!! You swing forth and back very fast, and yup when it stops swinging u just get down by walking down a flight of stairs located at the bottom of the Zipline.

All these ended at about 6pm, and I definitely had fun and of cuz it was oso beneficial to my character building. We had dinner after that, and then after that, we had a water parade again.

Then, we were taught by the officers on Transportation Of Casualty again. This time was practical. Every Sec 1 Cadet had to do the Fireman's Lift whereby u carry the casualty on ur back. Another was to carry on the front but i forgot the name. There is oso Human Crouch, which were used on casualties with leg injuries. You will support their injured leg with one of ur legs and the casualty and our other legs will move. We will move the other free legs first then slowly move the leg supporting. The last was the piggyback, you should know how it works, so I shant elaborate.

After Transportation Of Casualty, we had supper. It all ended at 10pm, then we had free time to bath again. Before that, we had the last water parade for the day, then lights out at 11pm.

So.. this is the end of 2nd post, please continue scrolling downwards for the 3rd day post. :]
