Leadership camp

Leadership camp, like my other events, has become a mere memory. If I do not pen it down, it will soon dilute and fade into darkness.

I feel that this camp was a failure although it was slightly better than annual camp. I definitely improved a lot in minesweeper and little fighter two during this camp.

Day 1
Woke up at 5.30am, intend to reach school by 6am. However, I realized that I forgot to print out the first aid slides! I got them printed and reached school at about 6.20am.

The camp starts with the traditional bag check. I took group 5. In this activity, me and papaya scolded and pumped them a little. I feel that they are ok compared to other groups.

After that was supposed to be a hoing, hell night-like activity. We are supposed to make them put their bags in their bunks, come down, go up take their bags, come down for 5 times. However, this activity was cancelled, making me utterly disappointed.

After that, I had a long break, about 2 hours, before my first aid slides. I went to the pri school canteen and brought breakfast and 3 oreyas. It was supposed to last until the end of the camp but I think I finished all of them before day2 lunch.

After that was my first aid lesson. After that was lunch.

After that was IFC. I was teaching movement by day. It was a really fun, did crazy stuff like lying down in the middle of the track before the next group comes. One group jacked me! I taught them already but they came back to m station. I didn’t know that I taught them already and carried on teaching. They made me teach for 10 mins before telling me that I taught them already. Mean sia!

The next main activity was their cadet’s night and presentation planning, together with their interview. Jackfruit purposely shouted and scolded into at no one to make them think that the interview was really scary.

Near the end of their cadet’s night planning, something bad happened. Jackfruit scolded ‘banana’ for something which was really quite minor. He almost made banana leave the camp. I can tell banana was really scared and almost cried. I feel quite sad as I did not expect all this to happen.

After that was supper and then bed time. I was trying to boil some hot water so that I can have some hot milo before tomorrow’s PT. It took a very long time to boil. In the end, I slept at about 1.30pm. I intend to wake up at 5.30am tomorrow to have some hot milo before PT.

Day 2
However, I slept too well. I woke up at 6.15. PT starts at 6.30! It was really hard to change to half 4 as it was dark and everyone was sleeping. In the end, I was about 5 mins late for pt.

PT was slack, so slack that I decided to pump them 50+50+50 near the end of the PT.

After that was breakfast.

After that was slack time. I have about 7 hours of slack time. I slept a little, finish up all my oreyas, played minesweeper, played little fighter 2.

I joined them again during laser quest. I didn’t know that it was so fun. The laser quest experience I had during p5 made me feel that it was crap. However, it was really fun and I regretted not participating.

After that, I went to buy dinner with Brandon. Dinner was fish ball noodle and bubble tea. After that was cadet’s night. Some of them were really funny. After that was supper.

After that was sentry. I was very fun. My year, they concentrated more on the guards, raiding their store. This year, we concentrated more on attacking the sentry. Here are the major highlights of the sentry route.

  1. The canteen. I don’t know what really happened but it supposed to be really nice. First, only the lights above the water cooler will be on. As they approach the water cooler we will suddenly off the lights. Then, they will panic and we will attack them. One person will die at this stage.
  2. As they move to the pri school side, there will be an attack. One person will die at this stage.
  3. My station. I will pretend to be a ghost, under my sleeping bag, to attract their attention. As they advance towards me, thy will not notice Samuel behind them. Samuel will shoot them from behind. One person will die at this stage.
  4. As they move to the chapel, there will be an attack. 1 person will die at this stage.
  5. The piano station. This station is fun, only shift 1 made it here. We will play the piano to attract their attention. As they move towards the guy at the piano, the other NCOs will attack them from behind All will die at this stage.
  6. The final place, the D and T toilet. Benedict and Ernest will attack them. They are not supposed to survive the previous stage.
Only two people, I think, survived the route, all from shift 1. Not that they are good, it is because we planned to let two people survive from shift 1. I think shift 2 was really good but we decided that all shift 2 people will die. Shift 3 was screwed up.

Day 3
I woke up late, about 10 am, cos I slept at bout 5.30am. I helped out at the tests. After that, we packed our stuff and go home
