Day 1
we set off frm sch at 7.00am. as usual,it was a long journey to malaysia and we finally reach sarang buaya campsite at ard 12.30pm. had lunch and we proceeded on for our activities!
my grp did raft-building first. we were given 4 barriers and raffia strings to build our raft. it was kinda hard cause not everyone knows how to tie lashings,so the instructor taught us how to tie cross lashing and after that,everyone started assembling the raft. we managed to build our raft after an hour thanks to the cooperation of everyone in the group :] when we push our raft into the water and it floated,we were all really happy,and there was a great sense of satisfaction =) we went onto the raft that we built and we did rafting! it was difficult for us to even move the raft cause there were ard 14 of us on it. we had 6 paddles and we took turns to paddle the raft cause it was very tiring. in the end,a few of us decided to go down the water to push the raft,haha,and i was one of them (: the water was shallow but it's super muddy,to the extent that once you step on the ground,your feet will sink into the mud. it's gross but we seldom get this kinda experience,so i guess it was all worth it :D after rafting was canoeing. i partnered pei yi and we canoed 2 times back and forth the whole stream..it wasn't very tough canoeing there as compared to canoeing at kallang river cause the water was much more calm,plus me and pei yi got great coordination,so it wasn't much of a problem,hahaha xD
after all the activities,we went to bathe. the toilet was not really like a toilet,haha. the showers weren't working so we had to wash our hair outside,den go into the cubicle,fill the pails with water and shower our body. there were also lizards in the toilet,creepy..haha. had dinner and after that we went to a room in the campsite and had our reflections time,we also had to write an essay about a friend who we witness displaying the school values. haha,this is the first time i write an essay during camp >.< after that was supper and then we returned to out tents to slp =)
Day 2
woke up at 6.30am,went to wash up and then we had our breakfast. after that we left the campsite for trekking at gunung muar trek. it's actually a mountain but quite a short one,cause it only took us 2 hrs plus to go up and down,but the view on top was simply beautiful =]
we then returned to our campsite,pack up our stuffs and had lunch there. left the campsite at ard 1pm for sri coasta hotel. reached there at 3.00pm,changed into the shirt specially made for this trip and went to the seminar room. there we had our seminar until 6.30pm. we discussed about the prefects vision mission,expectations of prefects etc. it's actually a review of the yr 2006 and i think it's great to do it somewhere else instead of doing it in sch,at least it'd be more interesting (:
after the seminar,we returned to our hotel rooms for a bath before going to shop at tesco. pei yi,jia qi,jasmine and i went to the supermarket to get snacks for the night! haha,we bought fruit juice,cup noodles,tidbits and lots of stuffs. went back to the hotel and the 3 of them including shirley and trena came to my room. we sort of had a party inside,haha. we watched disney channel throughout the night and did the homework that ms norlina asked us to do. had a great time =)
Day 3
breakfast at the hotel was yummy! i always loved hving breakfast with my friends,esp breakfast in hotels cause it's usually buffet style and there are alot of things to eat,haha. after breakfast,we went back to our rooms,pack our bags and left the hotel at 10am.
the tour guide took us around malacca for a historical tour,before we were given time to shop at a nearby shopping centre. i didn't buy anything though cause i couldn't find anything that i feel like buying,haha. we went to a place where they sell local produce after that,and then went to jusco shopping centre to have lunch.
we left the place for singapore at 2pm. everyone were all tired and exhausted so we were all slping on the bus. home sweet home at 6.30pm :D
____________________________________________________________
now for the reflections part.
i think this trip was really fruitful and i enjoyed myself thoroughly. it was good for ms norlina to group us instead of letting us choose our own groups cause we get to interact with the others and get to know them better. this trip bonded all of us together and i really hope that everyone will be more committed to the prefectorial board after this. teamwork is an important factor for the board to function well,and i hv confidence in all the prefects that they will work together as a team for the well being of the board. all of us may face obstacles but as long as we stay positive and never give up,we're gonna brave through the darkest storms. man,i think i sound like mr reduan now,haha.
