hey everyone! here to post about ATC (Adventure Training Camp)!!! :D actually nothing much. i don't want to describe the activities one by one so i am just going to give a brief description of the camp and do some reflections :D
first day, we went late cause we had to bring some firewoods to the campsite. when we reached there, we were split into groups and i was in HALO! :D bryan ming hao and i were in the same group. so the first day activities were:
1) tent pitching
2) orienteering (it was fun and interesting!)
3) dinner
4) talk by mr azman (he talked about some life lessons...)
5) treasure hunt (rather fun.)
6) mass debrief
7) unit debrief
haha. and the cool thing was there were no sentry duties and fire drill!!! :D
so in the second day, we woke at 5 plus and the all the activities started! they were:
1) morning PT (it was just a short one.)
2) breakfast
3) ATF (this year's one is fun man! except there's one damn difficult.)
4) lunch
5) supposed to have rafting but it rained so the whole afternoon we practised some campfire songs and learnt some cool songs :D
6) dinner
7) CAMPFIRE!!! :D (there were lots of funny performances. especially sebastian's group from the Sec 2 and the clifton's group from Sec 3s. CIs sang some nice songs before the end of campfire. wahh it was GREAT man!!! :D)
8) played a lame game we came up ourselves :D
9) mass debrief
10) unit debrief (talked for damn long and it was quite fruitful man! :D)
last day, the day we had all been waiting for at the beginning of the camp :) the activities were:
1) morning PT
2) breakfast (had french toast! damn nice! :D)
3) area cleaning
4) prize presentation (congrats rui jie for getting the best camper and hanwen for getting motivators award for the Sec 2s' side. for the others, don't be disappointed. you still got a chance next year! :) for sec 3s' side, Mick got the best male camper and Ken got the motivators award :D chairman guo ran shi chairman. haha!)
5) photo taking and unit cheer! :D
Last but not least, BYE ATC!!! :D left the campsite and came back to main island at around 1. then went back school by Guangyang's bus. slept throughout the whole trip :D put those rations in store and kope some back home. haha. had a wonderful KFC meal after that! :D saw the CIs at cafe cartel and saw yan hao sir went to play the racing game. haha. came back home, bathed and slept the whole day. yeah man :D
reflections: i think from this camp i got to know lots of friends like andrew and tuck wai from RI. they are damn funny man! hahaha. also, i would like to say, CHESTER SIR ROCKS MAN!!! :D and also from mr azman's speech, i got to learn something. first thing: know your own weaknesses and know other people's strengths. woah! i think this apply to me man. i always doubt others of their abilities and always thought of doing things myself cause i think i am good. but after hearing this, i think it's time to change! i am going to work as a team from now on because everyone has different strengths. you can't possibly do a great job alone, that's why you need a team! yeah man :D second thing: appreciate what others had done for you. i think this doesn't only applies to me but to most of the people out there too! many times when others come to help us, we don't show our gratitude to them. we will just take it for granted. and why are we all so stingy in saying a simple 'thank you'? so from now on, we got to appreciate others and don't take them for granted. just a simple 'thank you' will make their day so don't ever be stingy! :D
that's all for this post. i know it's a bit long-winded but yeah, i had finally finished! :D
