BREAKFAST:
Breakfast was after pt. we had hot Milo n bread wif all the different kinds of spread. there was margarine n uh, I cant really rmb. anw, hot milo was wat that delayed us in having breakfast. 2 ppl from every grp had to go get the hot water. i dun really know why they took so long cos i didnt go 2 get the hot water but i heard some of the other part as say its cos they had to go all the way to the staffroom kitchen or something 2 get the hot water. yeah, but anw, when the ppl who went to get the hot water were finally back, we could start breakfast, but of course, not forgetting the cheers. there was alr one the previous day, but the cheers i/c came up wif one more while waiting. it was really funny. haha nice cheer! yupp, so after that we could have our breakfast.
CLEARING UP:
Generally area cleaning wasn't tough, but it was as though we were helping the greenman. Because the canteen was already very clean and we didn't really have much to do so we swept the floor, although there weren't any food on the floor. We wiped the tables too, which wasn't dirty but still, we cleaned the bird shits off it anyway. :D
WASH UP:
We had 1 hour for wash-up and we could use the toilets on the 3rd and 2nd levels. Most of us thought the time was too little as there were a lot of us but in the end, the time was more than enough. The water was icy cold but I thought most of us did not mind, as we were sweaty. We were also glad that the water was not dirty. After the wash-up, we felt refreshed and a little sleepy. Then we went back to our bunk and waited for the 1 hour to be up. While we waited, we studied for our theory test and started to memorise stuff and tested each other.
AEROSPACE CLUSTER:
uh. now i look back at it, actually its rather easy to remember huh.except that when we were first shown the powerpoint slides, we werekinda too anxious to scribble everything down and couldnt absorbhow many parts were there under this and that category. the long names ate up our brain juices. haha.
Trip to Air Force Museum On the 3rd day of the camp, we went to the Air Force Museum after lunch. Upon arriving there, we could see numerous models of airplanes that had been decommissioned. Then, the tour guide took us to watch a short but interesting video clip. After watching the video clip, the tour guide led us around the museum and explained about the different types of airplanes, when was that particular airplane in use and when was it decommissioned. That day, we were very lucky to get to go to a place that was usually not open to the public as the person manning the place happened to be there. We went up to the 3rd floor and into an air-conditioned room to watch 2 videos about the lessons conducted on aeromodelling and about aeromodelling competitions. After that, we had free time to roam around the room and admire the model of aircrafts made by students of various ages. In summary, the trip to the Air Force Museum was quite interesting and fascinating.
MORNING PT:
We woke up early in the morning, and the first thing we did was PT!! Without breakfast or anything, we did 3sets of PT. 1set includes 20 crunches, jumping jacks and 2rounds around the track. After the PT, we went around the netball court, across, arnd to dial the Canadian pizza number – 62410241. in the end, we were told that we were too slow and had to “redial”, and the redial button is very far away, right across the field at the J Block toilet! Everyone was out of breath. When we were running on the track, the seniors were very supportive and kept encouraging us (<3) whenever we were close to stopping. PT was quite tough but I believe it is beneficial.
IFC:
IFC!!! We did this on Day 2 of camp… Basically, we gathered at the track and the i/cs started talking about it: the different methods to judge the distance, camouflaging and. We just sat there listening. After which, the i/cs quizzed us on what they have taught. I think we could answer most of it… If I am not wrong, I think we were also scheduled to do some hands-on camouflaging. However, it was a pity we did not get to do it probably because there was a lack of time if not I think it would be fun! I think that is about what we did for IFC. (=
OUTDOOR COOKING:
First, I must confess that i have never eaten maggie mee before (gasp!). I suppose most people would think it a horrible crime, although i'm not very sure why.
The outdoor cooking was fun, although i'm afraid i made my partner do most of the work (sorry Li Hui!) but the fire kept on acting up...i think that it needs some discipline...(joke. joke!). And the fire kept on going out too! oh wait. I'm not absolutely sure about that. But i remember aksing ma'am Debbie to help us light the fire... (blush). The food was okay but i'm a bit paranoid about cleanliness so i kept on rushing to the toilet to wash my utensils. Sigh.
And the cucumber. Um. What to say? It was okay, i guess, as cucumbers go, but i don't really like cucumber, so tough luck for me. Anyway i ate some cucumber. Oh shucks don't want to say how many (i kinda forgot as well) cos i might be forced to eat some more! Oh horror! (choke choke)
Yeah. So now i know what maggie mee tastes like. And i guess i've got something new to boast about to my friends. Sort of, anyway.
SENIORS: (LOL this wasnt asked for but i asked for it anyway)
@Our seniors were kind and approachable. Although they “scolded” us frequently, we knew it was for our own good. We could talk to our seniors anytime and almost all of us treated them as friends and we could sometimes be kind of rude towards them. Our seniors also set a good example by doing the drills neatly.
@ oh and about you seniors. thankyou, sorry, and loves for just about everything. you make our day. :D
@The seniors helped us a lot, encouraged us during PT, help during outdoor cooking (and of cus ther stuff). The phrases like “don stop, continue” encouraged us to continue running. Dunring nightwalk, we see the fun side of them as they told us ghost stories to scare us or tried to shock us by appearing suddenly. Seniors=nice and supportive!
THOUGH I CANT RMBR WHO GAVE WHAT
BUT I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. THANKS!
YAY
