Sec 3 Camp 06
This would be the 2nd year running Sec 3 Camp as a ‘green shirt’ with EDUOA. As with running other VS camps, It was a fun and enriching experience. Though I (and the other Victorian ‘green shirts’) felt that the spirit was somewhat lacking. Sad, but times change, and cultures change too. I remember my batch used to shout and cheer at anything and everything we could, now our Victorians need to be coaxed to cheer.
For the benefit of rememberance and archival, I shall continue with writing about it in more detail then my posts normally are.
 Day 1
Nothing much in the morning as we were en route to the campsite. Afternoon’s Raft Building (station I was assigned to) was rather screwed up, mostly because we didn’t get the 1/2 poles we asked for and we had quite a lot of our rope was still uncut. Also because it was the first day, which is by far the most difficult day in camp organising.
Oh. Organic Rice. Tasted like shit at first. But got used to it after a while. At night was slack, preparing the Logistics for Area Cleaning on the last day with a few instructors while the rest went for nightwalk.
 Day 2
No Raft Buliding so was assigned to bring up the classes to G. Lambak (its a hill technically, since we climbed up to just 510 m). Climbed twice (AGAIN), all within the span of under 6 hours. Total times I’ve climbed Lambak? 6. But that kinda makes me want to climb twice again next year, bringing my total to 8. Had to bring down a Victorian during the morning climb, which Calvin helped guide to raundevu (spelling?) with Base Camp.
Afternoon was interesting, someone (I can’t really recall his name) sprained his ankle but was super determined to make it to the top. So I let his classmates give him a hand up (slowly) and shuttled between them and the rest of the class. That wore me out rather fast, but thankfully my leg muscles were more or less numb to the strain by then.
I did, however, discover a new way to keep myself going (and alive) throughout the 2 hikes up Lambak. I made 3-in-1 Milo ‘on the go’. All you gotta do is to have 3in1 milo powder on you, and some water. Empty some powder into your mouth, drink a mouthfull of water and gargle. Tada! Milo! It actually works! But getting the ratio of water to powder is a pain in the you know where.
 Day 3
Raft Building in the morning, not much fun as most of the groups had similar looking rafts and most were dry (meaning they didn’t fall in). Stayed back to help out with campfire while the rest went to Kahang Secondary School for their games.
Campfire turned out pretty well, if you consider just the fire. The programme, however, was rather dull. Think the black shirts should have injected some of their experience into it aye?
 Day 4
Area Cleaning. Back to SG. Pizza Hut for lunch. Home. Blog. =D
Another camp on the 16 to 18th. 42 pax at Mawai. Should be fun.
