Cheryl Lim's Reflection

its my first year in traing camp
and i'm proud to be in O3 :D

day one.
we pitched our tents in a horsehoe formation. it was my first time pitching a tent and i was a little scared that i've forgotten what i learnt during the refreshal course. we took an awfully long time to pitch our tents, but they were eventually up. we build the gadgets we needed , and i'm proud of the shoe rack that yeeru and I built. the weather was depressing. the games were fun, though kind of disgusting. the watermelon game, sandwich making, flour... and we were the cooks for the day. the fried bee hoon we cooked was edible, and we're super sorry for the food coulouring/drink incident. it was suprising that we had the night games on the first night. was quite scared when i heard about the night games, as the seniors had told me about the night games in the previous years, and the night games seemed very scary. but the fear faded away when we went to the first station; the toilet. we were busy looking for clues that the fear was gone, was busy trying to comfort grace and pei jun as they we afraid. i think the scariest station was the one in the lodge, where yiteng ma'am was lying dead on the floor. and the row-row-row your boat song is scary.

day two.
we woke up later than expected, started clearing up the newspaper. it was drizzling again and surprisingly, the newspapers were damp or even dry. we went for the morning jog, it was refreshing. was the wood and water patrol , we cleared all the lamps and went to get the seat-upons. it stopped drizzling for a while and so, we formed our first mealring on the grass. we played a few more games and then prepared for outdoor cooking. chopping the firewood was a new experience for me, and thanks grace for teaching me how. and all of a sudden, it started raining heavily. somehow, we managed to do our outdoor cooking indoor and had nicee delicious food.

being the emcee of the campfire really was a new experience, it was scary to stand in front of all the guides and speak. O3 gave our OUT-girls performance, and i laughed the evil mojopojo laughter. soon the campfire came to an end. we learnt a few new songs and soon i had to leave for another camp the next day.

i really want to apologise to O3 for not being there for the entire camp. sorry that i had to leave on the Day 2 night.

A*guides annual training camp ; Outwit.Outshine.Outlast.
i'll always remember this camp.
