Camp STEEL 2009 Part 2
This event was broken into 2 parts in case you get bored or confused by a whole lot of paragraphs. Anyway lets continue the event, Camp STEEL.
The second day was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE! I woke up at around 5.30a.m. since I could not sleep well. At around 6.15a.m. we went for our 5BX which involved as series of stretching warm-ups continued by exercises such as push-ups and jumping jets.
After that we went for our breakfast, that's the WORST BREAKFAST I had EVER. We had NasiLemak. The rice was okay, I ate the chili, it was not as spicy as tongue told me, so I finished the whole chili.
However, soon I after I finished my breakfast, I felt my stomach like burning! Guess I ate too much chili...However the pain got worse and worse, I could not take it and fall-out. I was sent to the clinic nearby. I told myself: NEVER EVER TAKE SAMBAL CHILI AGAIN though I didn't after that since I could not resist the temptation.
When I arrived at the clinic, I filled in some forms and waited for my turn, the wait was freakingly long! Finally was my turn to go in the consultation room. I told the medical officer everything about the pain. It was another freaking long wait before I collect my medicine. I asked the officers there when I would be fetched back to the camp, guess what? He said he didn't know! All he told me was to wait. I was worried of being trapped there alone. There went another long wait before they arrived and fetched me back. About 1 hour 30 minutes was gone...
When I got back to the camp, I was relieved that I finally saw my platoon mates. We were then doing rappelling. I asked them what I had missed. They said that I had missed the obstacle course (MOC)! Damn it! I had once again missed the MOC like I did in Camp FEAST! But there was no point crying over spilt milk. I decided to go rappelling since my pain was almost gone. When it was my turn, I started to tremble as I was afraid of height. The guy told me to look left look right look down in order to increase my bravery. I then started to rappel downwards. I was not as scary as I thought. That's the only good thing on the second day!
Then it started raining! Stupid rain! Our paintball was cancelled! We waited for don't know how long. Due to the heavy rain, we had to eat our lunch at the narrow dirty ground inside the bunk building.
After that we went to our bunk and packed up. We then went down and collect our certificates. Then boarded the bus back to school and HOME SWEET HOME!
Overall I felt that this camp was quite boring and relatively badly organised (since this was the first time they organised the camp) compared to last year's Camp FEAST. They should plan wet weather activities so we do not waste our time waiting like we did during the paintball time. Together I missed the MOC and paintball, what a pity! Nevertheless, it was an unforgettable camp. I HOPE THAT I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO A BORING CAMP LIKE THIS!
