16 Dec, Thursday (1st day)
I arrived at school at 10am. After putting my stuffs in the store room and registered, I went to the field, which was the camp side and I helped them with the tent.
We had fried rice cooked by canteen chef as our lunch.
After lunch, we had Ice Breaking Section to know our group members better. We sat around the canteen tables and started to 'break the ice', but at first everyone was quite shy and we sat in silence for some time. Our teacher-in-charge, Miss Ong came to survey us, when she saw us sitting there stiffly, she asked us,
"Have you all done your Ice Breaking?"
Then, one of our members said," Erm... breaking, breaking..."
Only then the silence was shattered by our laughters.
We decided to play a game called 'True or Dare', it was enjoyable.
After finishing Ice Breaking Section, we had Handcrafted Section, learning how to make key chain.
We had mee hoon as our dinner.
After dinner, we moved some stools to the front of the canteen stalls and sat there in a circle.
The Patrol Leaders taught us some songs and action songs.
Then we had some fun activities, such as Memorize Drawing and Passing Message. The Passing Message part was quite interesting, there were two messages, one of it was something like : "can you can a can like a canner can can a can". The message was passed on one by one towards the last person, and it turn out to be : " can can a container". The Patrol Leaders burst into laughter and can't stop laughing. How could 'can' turn out to be 'container', they wondered. The other message was something like: "I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the witch wishes, I won't wish the wish you wish to wish". I was the last person, and I managed to say those lines correctly, lucky me~
And then, the Patrol Leaders wrote everyone's names in pieces of papers, then folded them and let us draw. Each person with take one piece of paper that was written with one of the names of the members in the camp, the person we drew will become our 'manito', which is someone we have to care for in the camp, being their 'secret angel', and we should not reveal to anyone until the camp fire night.
The activity lasted until 11pm, time for bath. We took our bath using a bucket full of water and a bathing ladle. The water was freezing cold, I kept shivering as taking my bath. It took me for quite a long time to bathe as I was not used to taking a cold bath especially late at night. It was about 12 midnight when I finished my bath.
We slept in the store room, after laying my sleeping bag, I lay down, closed my eyes, hoping for some sleep and call it a day. Minutes left, I found myself still awaking, I can hardly sleep, so I sat up. Meanwhile, there were three more From 1 girls were also still haven't sleep and kept chatting, so I joined them. At that time, the Patrol Leaders haven't taken their baths and still writing their reports and discussing something. By the time they went into the store room and taking their clothes and towels to go bathing, they found ourselves still enjoyed chatting, they advised us to sleep because the next day we have to wake up early. We took their advise and went to sleep... ZZZZZZ
17 Dec, Friday (2nd day)
I woke up at 6am. After washing myself, the Patrol Leaders do the morning exercise with us by groups.
After that, we had our breakfast, bread with jam and egg. After finished our breakfast, we changed into our uniforms and went to the field to do the Horse Shoe.
Then, we had some games, they named it 'cabaran'. Each Patrol Leaders had to prepare a game for their members, which was their camp helpers. Tian Hong prepared a game which is to throw the ball into a basket which was carried by a person.
After that, the ones taking the Queen's Guide test will be having a cooking test. We helpers help them to prepare the ingredients. Chia Hwei was cooking non-spicy tom yam mihun. Her cooking was excellent!
After diner that night, we had a camp fire. The girl guide seniors went to join us too. We sat around the camp fire, singing and dancing. We also had the manito revealed section, I can't believe that I am Chia Hwei's manito! haha~
