Kingdom Of Castle Peak

Boohoo finally back from camp... so i guess i will just be writing about it? Doubt anyone missed me here so i shan't ask that question. HAHA..

Alright back to the topic.

Stayed in school on Tuesday so as to prepare for the start of the camp the next morning. But since i had some other stuff to handle before i reached school so i arrived slightly later than expected, but when i reached, everyone was nowhere to be found busy preparing for tomorrow while i stayed in the room waiting for more than 2 hours. Was supposed to be sleeping early for tomorrow, but everything ended only at around midnight. Although i couldn't sleep so in the end went to hunt with Gavin till around 4 AM in the morning before getting some rest.

1st Day
Got up quite reluctantly due to the lack of sleep, but since orders was given to wake up and get ready by 7.30 AM. Campers was told to reach school by 8AM SHARP, so most of us was waiting at the second level and for the record, this year everyone was late! Although we could have stayed much longer to see some actions or rest longer in school as we were told that its free and easy till 11 AM, but the orders suddenly changed to leave immediately which i have absolutely no idea why since we had the luxury to choose the fastest transportation route from school to the Changi Village jetty while the campers have to take the longest route from school. So in the end, we waited at the jetty for around 3 hours ++ before leaving Singapore Island at around 2 PM. I only had duty in the night at 1.30 AM so there isn't much i have to say or write so shall move on to the next day.

2nd Day
I, along with Weishan & Samantha Kho took 5 of them to Mamam Beach for their sleeping place. While Gavin, Jiehui, Alpha & Sherilyn took the other few to Nordin Beach. Counting this, it will be my 5th consecutive time, 3rd year in the row heading there for sleep time. While i was always playing the role of the devil, i thought that maybe this year i could play the role of an angel instead. So with that in mind, Weishan wanted to tried playing the role of the devil, so i could get on to the role of an angel.

Did the usual pitch and unpitch the tent, clearing some punishment and setting some ground rules before they can actually go and sleep. While it was suppose to be Weishan being the devil, my devil instinct came and kinda took over at some point in time.

The best way i could describe it would be that i'm a vampire, and i was trying to control not drinking human's blood, but with the large amount of blood presenting in front of me, i could not control anymore and took some while playing it down most of the time. But the bottom line is, I failed to be angel i wanted to be.

Woke them up at around 4.30 AM and did the usual stuff except for the legendary 40 mins half-squat. But doesn't matter, since it's already over and they went back to HQ in a piece nevertheless. Was completely shagged out probably due to the lack of sleep for two days including the prep camp night where i only slept for 3 hours and the lack of red bulls to pump me up for the day.

Shall not go on to the details during the day, but i was really shagged out that i went to the jetty and sleep for around 5 hours or so till noon. Since we didn't have any duty during the day for us, we booked a chalet near the jetty for a day. So we continued to rest there till evening before we head back to HQ. The campers had a hike and several activities, along with the nightwalk during the night. They were quite shagged out i suppose so the OC decided to let them rest in HQ without going to their campsite.

3rd Day
Returned the room by 10 AM after boiling many bottles and headed back to HQ. Nothing much i can comment on since i was doing nothing the whole day. It was only until outdoor cooking that i surfaced and started to create a fire with Gavin since we decided to do something, using that fire we could create to cook our dinner. While all the materials used were leftovers from all the other groups, we could also only create a small fire that won't last too long. As we didn't have any other materials to maintain the fire, there was no other choice but to use more solid fuel to create a large fire to burn down all the bigger branches that was left by the other groups.

After a period of time, we finally created a steam hot enough to cook anything and would last for a long time, but sadly with a slipped hand, I accidently destroyed the fire with the overflowing water in the mass tin. There was nothing i could do to prevent it so we had to re-create the fire all over again. Finally had our dinner, den we joined the rest to the campfire site and enjoy the fire, cocktails and campsongs. Once that was over, it was time to return their punishment.

For this year, only 3 people was selected to execute this, so the rest of us went somewhere and started playing cards. We played so long that we started out with 7 people, and ended of with just 4 before coming out to do some stretches. Rain came down around 4 AM, and the OC already decided to cancelled off the POP in ubin since they didn't have any special thing prepared.

4th Day
Slept at the jetty with several others, was forced to wake up due to the cold freezing weather. Only me and Weishan was left as the rest left earlier since they had to report back to HQ. Had our breakfast in the rain, packed our stuff and head back to Singapore. After washing up the stuff, had the POP and went home. And this concludes the end of the camp.

Since i didn't have the chance to say anything, so i guess i will just say it here. If you're lucky enough to pass by and read this. Good for you if you understand!

Well, there was a couple more i would like to say, but either i can't remember what, or i just lazy to say it. I think this 3 advice should be good enough for those who went through this camp to sit back and think about it. This post should be long enough, there should have been pictures uploaded as soon as i get them from Alpha since i think he was the only one with the camera. So wait up and catch up soon!!
