ACE CAMP

Ace camp 2008 was filled with many new experiences, new skills learnt, friendships strengthened, and perhaps with much self discovery as well. hearing from what my seniors told me, aside from the excitement i had about going for the camp, i did dread it a bit. however, what an experience it was, even though at times we may feel very uncomfortable and are going to break, when we manage to pull through and jump over that hurdle, you'd be surprised with what you can do.

As mr nathan said to us, learning puts you through discomfort and much strain, both physically and mentally, but we must realise that what comes out in the end is so worth that effort we put in.

As a class, i think we grew in terms of our class spirit, especially when it was nearing the campfire and we had to cook up an item and a cheer in a very short time. i admit that we all were much less enthusiastic in the first day or so but after awhile it all kicked in. i wish that we couldve had that attitude from the start though, but nevertheless, we still came up with something and pulled it off.

the insects, the bites, the sweat, the strains and the occasional hunger were nothing compared to the time spent with friends. i definately got to know my good friends better, because through the activities, our personalities and characters really showed.

jungle survival, orienteering, rafting, climbing up gunung lembak, abseiling and canoing were the 6 activites we all went through, and i have to take my hat off to those who, despite challenges, exceeded their limits. KIAT SHENG OWNS!!! - man, you made it up and down gunung lembak even though it was like "!!!" haha, congrats to you!

the last event where 204 would go through something together has passed, and i hope that we'd all remember this camp as something great because it truly was made great by the prescence of everyone. thanks to everyone who made this camp as meaningful as can be - the teachers, the ace leaders and my friends.

yawwwnnn, so tired now, time to find that pillow! Zzz......
