Every year chong boon holds a annual camp for all levels. The lower secondary students stay in school and participate in exciting activities planned by the teachers and the upper secondary students get an opportunity to venture out of school bounds and stay at a government authorised camp site.This year things were done a bit differently as my school wanted its students to experience the world outside school.This time round the upper secondary students,being the SENIORS, had a choice of going to the camp in Singapore or the one organised in Malaysia.Many of us were enthusiastic about this new experience awaiting us.However only some of us were chosen to go.And eventhough I was one of the selected few,I did not want to leave my friends and have fun in malaysia all by myself.Hence I decided to stay in Singapore.The days flew past and the camp was just around the corner.After packing my bag,I started thinking on how much I'm miss all the facilities at home.I had an early night so as to not be all so droopy in the morning.The next day, we met all our instructors and headed for the campsite.Along the entrance of the campsite,we saw many high elements and we were all tickled pink!We were looking forward to the interesting activities lined up for us. After alighting the bus we were seperated into our respective groups and were sent to our bunks.We had a quick change of clothes and headed towards the assembly area.All the groups started off with ice breaking games and we were instructed to come up with a group name and a group flag.We came up with a very unique name of UNDERDOGS.It was approximately 1 pm in the afternoon and we started doing our high element activites.With a huge fear of height i surprised myself when I came forward and attempted the absailing activity. And soon after we had lunch.After lunch we had a lot of time to prepare for our camp fire item and we decided to dance for a NEW and HIP song.We had the best dancers from our class to come up with the dance.And as the time flew by it was soon night and we had a night study activity which wasn't as boring as expected.The next day we were very excited as we had a canoeing activity planned for us.It was almost ruined by the unexpected downpour.However we managed to overcome the weather and went canoeing.It was indeed a very very scary experience but a REAL good one.Soon after night came and the much anticipated camp fire was next.We were all excited and looking forward to our turn.The night was young and we were enjoying ourselves ALOT!Everything has to come to an end and so did this.The next day arrived and we were all set to go home.On our journey back to school we caught up on some lost sleep and had cool dreams on our exciting 3days.
