ATC '09
First day
While that day i woke up early morning and reach outside NP room at 7. Had bagcheck, which was like very slack, HO Jeremy just asked us to open up and let him take a look can already. Next everyone sat there for an hour, as many of the sec 3s were not, i was like lol, we were told to fall in at 7 and sec 3s can come at a later time. at 8+ bah everyone board the bus, it was quite noisy at first as everyone was filled with energy and restless. But not long after, they just sat down and started to rest. The ride to Changi took around 30 mins or so. I got bored and decided to meditate, what is so funy about meditating, why must people come and disturb you. haiz but nevermind we are all friends. hahhas :D Took a 8 mins boatride to Pulau Ubin it was really very fun lor!!!! when we wanted to get down the boat was rocking roughly from side to side hahhas. Next we hike a 5km wake i think on the way we encourage each other and was a really fun wake, i wish it could have lasted longer.
So we reached the campsite wo hoo and started pitching. Was really frustrated with the twine it would snap if you pull very hard but if you dont it wil be quite lose. Next we went to help other school, i think it was Boon lay Sec. we got ready the inner sheet and was waiting for Chong wee to tie his tent-guy loop when this officer came and scold Zheng kang i was like LOL, cant he see that chong wee is tying, everyone was very @#%@#$ with him. Next was grouping and tentage groupings, following that was lunch. it was so troublesome if you wanted to wash something you had to run all the way up the stairs to the canteen and back again before you could cook your meal, what a bother.
After lunch was ice-breaking game and camp fam.Next was pioneering, my group made a kind of wardrobe with round lashing and square lashings. I did this as i remembered Adullah's deisgn last year and we were so close to winning but we lose. However who cares what matters most is the process am i right?1? :D Had dinner which was change to army rations, so COOL!!! hahhas :D all you need to do was just put the pack of food into hot water for a few mins and your ready to eat, actually they are called MRE or meal ready to eat. At night had a mock camp fire to get everyone familarise with the songs which JSS know most of them hahhas. Next we gathered at the grass and dunno do what already i forget lah just some stupid waste of time things. Before i went back to tentage, a CI ask whose bottle so i went to take it and he ask me do you think i can make the whole camp come back bcus of the bottle i heard wronly and said no. I tot he said" you think the whole camp will come back because of that bottle." hahhas so lol lor.
In the tentage, three westwood ppl wont sleep and went around to disturb others with their torchlights and acted as CIs really frustrating almost wanted to whack them upside down. so no choice bear with it till next day only slept fot 2 hours sia and alot of mosquitoes.
Second day
Woke up at 530 to wae the other Jurongians to brush teeth and quickly fall in for flag-raising and PT, which was leaded by HO Jeremy. The PT was like darm hard a test of your fitness strength. lucky only for an hour. Breakfast was a fast one as had to help the group to wash mass tins and prepare tent for tentage inspections. almost half of my tent was infested with ants sia!!! lucky it was where the westwood ppl would sleep tonight hahhas so not my problem. Following that everyone took their backpack that we had packed yesterday and fall in at canteen. My group first activity was team-building. one was a memory game and the second was where you had to get two balls of twine onto the other side of the poncho without it dropping and everyone must hold onto the poncho. Next we just sat around and chat with the JW NCOs and i volunteered to be AIC, IC was wei hao from Jurong west.
After lunch, we had rope challenge and rock climbing. first was rock climbing i couldnt reach the top got not enough strength hahhas lol. Next was the maze, we had to get out of an old dark building lucky i was not the first man hahhas. The first guy kept hitting into things hahhas :X We could have gone for kayaking but due to lighting in nearby areas, low-rope challenge and kayaking was cancelled. and many people of Jurong was casuaties. haiz. So IC and i decided to use the time to plan for camp fire activities. we came up with a skit which was not really perfect or should i say unprepared hahhas.
Marched back to camp from the beach for flag-lowering and briefing for later events. we had 2.5 hours to bathe eat and perpare for camp fire. lucky did all that in time. I also found out at that time i lost my torchligh so sad T-T .
The campfire turn out to be quite fun not like ordinary campfire which i would be very bored at it. Due to time constraint, my group did not have to perform and there was alot of funny performance too long to type out here.
After it ended, all gathered at the field as the CIs wanted to mae sure that all the masstins and stove were there, we also could not fall alsleep or just take a rest or will be in pumping position haiz.Whne thye ask for volunteer i quickly stand up as i needed to walk aroung to prevent myself from falling asleep. We were told to check the tent for any masstin but i found non which was gud. when i went back to sit down and almost close my eyes, a JWSS NCO tap me i got a shock and tot it was a CI lucky it was not. Before we were release, we were imform that CI Mei yu wanted to see us, it turn out that it was consueling as one of us had did something very bad in simple. stand at the BBQ pit for like an hour or more and we suffer 3 casaulties. went into pumping position a few times. haiz.at 1230 everything finally ended and i tirly drag myself back to my tent, and went into the wrong ten luckyly i found out in time and went back to mine, this is usaul happen alot of times, hahhas lol.

Third day
Samtentse routine in the morning again. But after breakfast no inspection we brought our things to the fireld and unpitched our next mastins inspections and i voluteer inhelping to move the tent equiment from one place to another. Next week took a batch photo and took a van back to the jetty to reach mainland singapore. On the bus i dint feel tired at all, sir desmond was very funny when giving back wallets he ask everyone the conten of the wllet and there was alot of joking around hahhas. After dismissed i and Abdullah helped Ric to the bus stop while waiting for his parents and sent him home safely. went to Macsonald's with Riduan and Peiling. before dragging myself to go home. On the bus almost miss my stop was very sleepy due to lack of rest. Bathed and slept through the evning b4 getting up for Dinner. then at night Chat and went to sleep at 12 hahhas:D.
I think that ATC is filled with fun and un-fun things if you partcipate in it. I also learn that The leader is not always the important person , sometimes it is the last man making sure no one is left behind. I also manage to get a chance to be an AIC which i felt very honour, although it is just a small post but important too.
Well that's all for today untill next time
1st Penguin division Salute!!!
