Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away

ABCamp is over!!slpt for e whole of ytd..n now i m gg to blog about the camp..but wad i wanna sae first is...mohican rox!!realli realli..everyone in e team..i m so proud of u ppl.. mohican:me, alford, liting, fangqing, genim, xanthe, tiru, nigel, edmund..yuchuan, jian qi..
dae 1: e tough n strict trainin starts..camp started off by makin all of us do pushups durin attendance takin in e mornin..e whole dae was games n workshop..but e tone of e camp was seious n strict..some ppl were quite unhappi..but i was kinda okie with it..cept tt they even dun let us talk durin eatin time..guess it was cuz i attended elects camp n experienced it before ba..so everythin was kinda disciplined n strict..oh yar n durin one of e games i fall n injured my elbow..den was kinda in a bandage for e whole dae..but was veri touched by all e concern from my frenz n instructors..dun worrie ppl i m okie readi le..overall e first dae was a dae of negative leadership whereby things were forced on us without bein known y..
dae 2: anthr dae of activities n workshop..but however e tone of e camp is different readi..things were explained with a rationale n e instructors were nt as harshed on us..we are given more time to do stuff but everyone was oso more disciplined..nt punished as much as e first dae readi..guess second dae was instead a dae of postive leadership..
dae 3: a trip to sentosa..took photos in e bus..reach there walk all e wae to tanjong beach n played games..after tt had some other activities..wore poncho..though i nv bring but someone lent it to me..wanna sae thanx alot to him..hai him kanna scoldin..so sorrie..but ppl dun wear a poncho unless u have no choice!cuz when u wear its hotter n wetter inside den outside lo!!i was so humid tt my whole faced become so red n i felt kinda dizzy..after tt in sch went sick bay den awhile ltr jiu okie le..den at night we plan activities for our clients who were comin over on dae 4..out clients are actualli intellectually disabled ppl..all e plannin was tirin but we had fun workin as a group as mohicans..everyone did their part n put in e effort..e tone of e camp is gettin better n nt as harsh readi..n genim n xanthe left on this dae for e moe camp..
dae 4:our clients arrived in e mornin n everyone was v friendly n warm to them..brought them around for games n activites..took great care of them..can c tt they realli enjoyed themselves..learnt some stuff from them also..can c e effort every single one of us put in..so e service learnin was a great success..teachers n instructors were veri proud of us..n i also wanna sae..great job everyone!e effort n time was definitely worth it..dragon boat after tt was fun..had a great time paddlin n havin e activities..but we onli had an hour for it..cuz e other hour have to be sacrificed due to us forgettin to bring certain stuff in our pack list n causin a snowball effect..guess we desreved e scoldin..make us realise e imprtance of listenin to instructions n bein responsible for our own words n actions..after tt we proceed on to e land expedition from kallang to aj..our group gt e red route which was 22km..we started off late as we were e last team to set off but it went well as we went e rite wae..but however as e grp in front was lost..they were slowed dwn n thus we had to stop several times for e grp in front of us to proceed on first as we were nt allowed to move on tgtr..therefore things were kinda slowed dwn..on e wae alford needed e toilet n thus we stop n spent some time searchin for e toilet..tt part quite comical as tt area had no toilet at all n so if we cant find a toilet he sorta have to pee in e drain readi..haha but luckli found one n waited for them..after tt on e journey on one of our grp members fell n injured herself..so we waited for teachers to come n address to her wound n after tt sorta carry on..due to so so mani things we were slowed dwn n when all e grps reach e sch readi we were onli 3/4 done with e journey..at this time e teacher ms yap came n told us tt we have to make a choice on either to carrie on but with triple our speed or we give up n go back sch..but if we give up e land expedition will be considered a failure for everyone..so of course we have to carry on..for e rest of e journey we went on a realli fast speed n i know everyone were v tired..but we realli encouraged each other n showed so much team work n effort along e wae..i was realli touched by everyone's effort n endurance throughout..it was definitely somethin which u wont get to undrstand unless u experienced it urself..tt journey will stay with me for e entire of my life..realli realli great job ppl..no one ever tout of givin up..n we made it in e end!!
dae 5: e last dae of camp readi..had a value worshop n after tt clean up e bunk n had e graduation ceremony..values workshop was quite fun n had a sorta treasure hunt game to look for e values of our sch..after tt we proceed on to cleanin our bunks n den gathered in canteen for our graduation ceremony..was a fun one whr certificates were presented to us n everyone cheered n roared for our instructors..e camp comin to an end n ppl did their last cheers as a grp..n we did ours as mohicans..
