JUNE 22/6-25/6

Finally I'm back to blogging! Shall post about last week NYAA camp. Should have a short post on NYAA camp. 1st day had our preliminary training by our AFS seniors. Learned field cooking,campcrafts,safety precautions for various activities,compass readings and etc. After that was team-building games. Have games like tangle hands,spider-web and water games. After playing was around night time so have field cooking for dinner while WenQin and Myself went to plan night-walk for the campers. Start the night-walk around 10plus when all lights are about to switch off. Everything ended around 11plus and campers went for wash-up. Had our field cooking for dinner/supper with WenQin,KongHwee,Kelvin and myself outside the classroom. Finished dinner around 12plus then clean up and we went to washed up. Back to classroom to sleep but can't find the right position to sleep and in the end,sleep around 2plus morning.

2nd day woke up at 7am then prepared everything and depart to Sembawang PA water Venture club for kayaking. Was kinda of lost at first but in the end,saw the place and we walked in but was thinking why the place is so remoted so WenQin and myself went ahead to check out the place while the rest waited along the side of the road. After checking with a passer-by then all start to move in.. Reach the club around 10am then prepared for briefing and moving of kayak over to sea. First test was 50m swimming and I passed. 2nd was capsized drill and not so good done. Break and then again to sea for more capsized drill practice and when we were about to headed out to sea for paddling,it started to rain. So no choice but to go back to shelter for more theory. Rain was heavy and wind is blowing directly to us so it was cold but SHIOK! Rain stop and we went out to sea for some paddling exercise for an hour. An hour later,washed up and packed up then headed back to Tampines for dinner. Then back to school around 10pm. Then washed up while waiting for Ms Lin to be back in school. After that,debrief and lights off around 12.30am.

Had abit of land paddling exercise then headed out to sea for more paddling exercise. 9people went out for more vigorous paddling. Then had our stern rudder practice,rescue exercise and draw stroke practice. After everything ended,had our cert presentation and I pass with other 8person passing the course as well. Then back to tampines to buy some ingredients for field cooking and then school for dinner. Clean up abit and washed up till 11plus. Then had briefing till 12.30am and lights off.

4th day woke up 8.30am. Prepared and pack things for hiking. Depart to Bukit Timah Hill and start hiking up the steep slope which was quite tiring but I managed to climb up. Then rest awhile and continued up to the submit. Reach submit by 12.30pm then rest and back down to starting point. Headed back to school and reach around 3pm.
