E Developemental Camp Begins Aptly

Last day of Term 2-- what a perfect day to start off ABCDE in AJC :p


Representing my CCA, i was going for the Alpha-Bravo Camp instead of Delta Experience (for Tier 2 classleaders) and heard from many that ABCamp will never be an easy-going one!


No doubt it was a pretty tough camp, some sae it's as bad as my NP camps in those days... I can still take it but i can imagine how hard it is for those who have never been in Uniformed group or went on such strenous 6Days5Nights camp before! Despite the many hours we have, time was tight as many activities were all pre-plan for our learning exoerience. This camp also include a 3D2N stay @ MOE's Labodor Campsite (Yes... I have been to the same place for Sec3 OAC and when i was a student facilitator just last year!)


Having been to LAC annually for 3 years in a row, i was rather bored with the place as i am VERY familiar with the whole campsite already. However, when the bus arrived once again there, i wish i can go back to last year where i came to help out as an instructor not as a poor little camper :p I bet this is the last time i will be attending a camp and particularly staying @ LAC. One major change of the campus is the dismissal of the family who lives and cooks for batches of students ever since the food poisoning incident of my Secondary school @ the beginning of the year :X Their 6D5N camp was forced to break @ Day 4 when over 50 odd students 上吐下泻。The cookhouse is now empty and no more children running around the campsite and live chicken cocking in the cage. The place has a new coat of paint as well and the whole place looks more cheerful than before. Nevertheless, certain paintings done by schools are still present like the masterpiece by St Nicholas Girls school 2002 near the absailing wall. Walking further in, you will get to see the same 2 storey high dormitary with two air-con ones on Groud floor for the teachers =) In front of the staff doms lay 2 wooden table 'cum' benches which AJ's teachers has decided to transformed it to HQ and First Aid post.


I still remember vividly the fact that my team and i was occupying the same wooden table and sitting on the benches doing out homework during the March holidays last year. We were just in front of the male staff dom and Yes saw M and E numerous times walking in and out. In fact, we even asked ET to teach us Maths Questions during the nights. So, is this what you call free-tutoring from MOE qualified teachers and a 24 hour one?!? It was really a great thing for the few of us as we are not campers and got no rules to follow. We can simply bring Lays' and chocolates in to munch on during the course of the camp. Best of all, we can call in McDonald's Delivery Breakfast :) In the day time, i will be busy leading my team to carry out the Physics sessions for groups of campers; while @ nights, we can relax all we wanna! Sitting @ the high walls in a row and staring @ the uncountable stars is certainly something i enjoy doing lots. Allow me to digress a bit, who still remember the Australian trip where we viewed shinning stars under the moonlight in the temperature of 4*C... i do, and will never forget this brain freezing experience. (Yup, he was there too)


Our PETrocket teacher-in-charge is so kind to take out boxes of Premium Cornetto ice-cream from the fridge of the male staff dom and share with my team. WOW, Cornetto ice-cream, my favourite! I will never ever forget how sweet the whole camp was to us and the
