We were settled in the hall,with our bags and strangers dressed in black on our right.

Sang National Anthem,and we were shown a video of Live! Operation camp.

We were then introduced to our Platoon Mentors(PMs),which we then had our own small gathering and talk with our PMs.

My class' are in platoon 9 and 10,I'm in Platoon 9.

My PMs are: PM Kay and PM Angus.

We soon boarded the bus,and I sat with Karishma.

The back row was Trini,KimSiew,Alexander,Hannah and Ginice.

Everyone was like "WAH ALEX AH!~",haha!

We were v. bored and we decided to play 'concentration'.

Karishma,SiangYing,Trini,Ginice,Alexander,KimSiew,Hannah,Claris,XingYing and PM Kay played together(:

PM kay lost! HAHAHA! She owes us forfeit!xD

Reached Singapore Vision Farm,owned by Adam Khoo.

OMG,so deserted.Creepy much.

We settled down,then introduction,Alexander,Jonathan and Jeremy led our cheers(The banana cheer and the WHOOSAY!)

Separated into our platoons,our AMs(Assistant Mentors) led us.

First activity was 'Section Movement' ,which involved lots of "CONTACT",Machine gun and bombs.

Hahahaha!Did ALOT of contacts,where the whole platoon had to lie front first on the ground with hands behind necks.

The ground was always wet and dirty,and its those ground that cars drive on.Rocky.

And we had to contact first,so once,I slid on the ground and my elbows got cuts.

We went through the 'mud obstacle',crawl under the lines.

MY PE SHIRT WAS CLEAN!:D So awesome.

Went on with lunch and yeah,it was quite satisfying!(Cannot waste food:/)

Marchings!:D

My team was called 'Bravo'! ,which consists of 3e1,3e2 and 3a1.

We did senang diri,sedi ah,kekanan lurus,kekanan pusing and hentak kaki.

THE CHEER WAS REAL COOL!

we completed the marching in 1 hour,plus cheer.Led by PM Mesh.

:D

Tentage area,did following cheers,

"Onu Raindu Munu! AHHHH!~"

"OHHHHH BRAVO KEYI('Can' in chinese)"

Had 'Slippery slope' activity next.

There was soap and water.My shoe no friction:(

Nearly fell halfway.CaiJia EPIC man,havent start already fall.

"Never give up!"

--

Next was the "say principles of success" and "advance forward".

that was really cool.

JunRong showed leadership, and initiative.

We also did 100 success claps.Tiring....

--

Next was WATER TANK.Getting the balls out of the water tank.By filling water and covering holes.

Everyone is like "oh,easy man."

We were all wrong.

There were tiny holes,all 40 people had to help just to hold and support.

Everyone got really drenched and supported one another.

This was the game that hit me the most.

It was this game,that I saw the 3E1's true colours.

The team spirit,the encouragement,the support,the "C'MON WE CAN DO IT!"s.

Its really really heartwarming.

Guys and girls held and support each others hands and pressing on,changing strategy.

Wow.Really.

-

Briefing by PMs after the water tank activity.

We didnt get the balls out just once,but TWICE.

PMs said most of the classes didnt get the balls out,but we did.TWICE.

PM Kay said she placed the balls back after it fell out for the first time.And none of us realised.

And we were all extremely happy:D

-

BATHING.The water was so puny.like "drip drip drip."

Dinner! BMT ceremony!:D We all conquered Basic Military Training!:D

Best troopers from 3E1,Hannah and JunRong!whoo-hoo!~

Talk by PMs,exchanged tags in the troopers tag board.

NIGHT TIME:D

Bunks (double deck,really hard)

As we all know,hot air rises,cool air sinks.

Damn.Regretted being on the top bunk.

NONO,no aircon.Fans.WARM...

Chit chat around.PM suddenly come in,then Jolene,Chelsea and me in one bed.Squeeze~

chatted until 12.30 plus,then slept.

:D

6.00am.People waking up.Packing sleeping bags.Brushing teeth.Bathing.

Stand-by-bed at 7.00am sharp.

We had to pack everything,and clear everything.

Military style.

By the time it ended,we had punishments in place.

Punishment for not doing things properly,packing stuff in time.

One for all,all for one.

Whole cohort did it together.

Tiring...I think by now everyone's got muscles.seriously.1540 is wow.

BREAKFAST!:D

ok.wipe that smile off.

We had army rations for breakfast and lunch.

Dried biscuits,apricot bar,and lunch pack.

People were sabotaged to the front to dance!

And other troopers,they were all v. shy at first,then they still did it.Cheers!

Barrel carrying.Cargo net.Sponge passing.Drawing-stuff-on-s'pore-map(Esplanade,DMSS),

Rope Skipping,People carrying.

Everything was awesome.

Cargo net was so encouraging.

Everyone in class cheered for the person climbing over the net.

PM KAY SANG FOR US!:D

As forfeit for losing in 'concentration'.

Bad romance!~

"Mam! Why dont you join singapore idol!:D"

"No lah! Save the Earth!"

Rope skipping was fun!

I kept going in and play.haha:D

Passing people activity was LONG.

Nina carried me,I carried Kim Siew.

(: Light people!

Next was LUNCH.

Ration pack! My food was 'Braised Chicken Pasta'. Expiry date: 30 Dec 2011.

At first it tasted okay,then its starts to not taste nice.

After lunch,

PM Ah how punished us.

We had to do 104 pushups.

And those not feeling well/cannot do pushups do success claps.

LOL 3/5 of the cohort stood up and do success claps.

I should've stood up too.Doing pushups and waiting for them to finish talking is really tough.

The ground was filled with sand and kenna cuts too.The guys had to endure in their position too.And we did crunches,then pushups again.

The PMs knew someone smoke during the night.

And the whole sec 3 cohort had to be punished.

Choices have consequences,what you choose to do will have a consequence.

One for all,all for one.Because of one person's choice,everyone has to face the consequence tgt.

Can you imagine?

Every sec 3 trooper,standing still for 1 hour 20mins?!

Hey,be happy.We've made history.

The punishment really taught everyone a valuable lesson.

-

It was an eye-opener,it felt as if we werent in S'pore.

There were no tall buildings,no HDBs,no hawker centres,no bus stops.

It was just farms farms flowers flowers and fishes.

Fish!:D (Inside joke b/w Karishma,PM Kay and me:D)

The farms had this awful stench.

We sang songs, shouted cheers and jumped up and down.

Songs like BAD ROMANCE,hahahaa!

-

Rehearsal for campfire night.Chaotic.

Bathe.Dinner."Molested" by Chelsea.Hahahah!xD

-

Campfire night!Hosted by selected class,3E5!

The MCs were good,the plannings were good.

And 3E1 was the first class to present.

JunRong:Fall in!

SiangYing: 16! 17! 18! 19! 20!

JunRong: Timer! How late are they!

SiangYing: 20 seconds late,Sir!

JunRong: 3E1! 20 success claps! 45 degrees to your left!In ready position!

CaiJia: 1! 2!3!

JunRong: Carry on!

3E1: (silent success claps) -sings- (HSM tune)-x2

We're all in this together

We were late,we were wrong,

We were punished together.

JunRong:3E1! Kekanan pusing!Hentak kaki cepat Hentak!

3E1: left left left right left,

-Count by the count by the left foot count ah!

(ANd so on:D)

-We are the best,we are the best,we are the best among the rest,we're out to show our power!power!power! We are the best among the rest! E1! -created by PMKay.

Trini's speech,"onu raindu munu,ahhh!~" -end-

And the other classes had their great shows too.

He danced(faked dance) Taylor swift'you belong w. me' with another PM,nobody.

Hahahahha,really awesome man.The atmosphere was HIGH!~

LOL CaiJia the samsui 'women'.

Sleep:D

Final day.

Everyone woke up early.Prepared for stand-by-bed.

GOOD JOB!:D

No punishments,had breakfast.

Classes were allocated to clean places.

Class went to girls' bunk.Quite clean!:D

So we gathered at one corner,few beds,sat there and sang songs,shouted cheers.

Then we sat outside,exchanged tags:D

I like my camp booklet,alot!Its filled with tags and goals and memories.

Final briefing for the camp,PMs from other classes came out and talked.

Really touching,especially PM tony,from E4(I think).

I nearly cried too,its like the class salute,and 'I love you PM tony'.

Wow.The PM cried too.Heartwarming...

Back to Damai!:D YAY WATER BOTTLES!

I sat with Karishma and PM Kay:D

Talked alot!

Back in school,and did marching in the parade square to end off the camp.

We could have done better though,but it was really awesome!:D

Shouted really loud!

Many people cried,extremely sad to part just like that....:(((

And PM Kay cried.Some people broke down.I cant control my tears too.

The PMs said"Its okay to cry, it doesnt show thet you're weak.It shows that you're alive."

hugs,photos,cheers,hiphip horrays.

Then more hugs,and bid farewell to PMs.

--

Went KFC with Nivaa and Jasmine.

SY:"This is what air con feels like"-the mall.

Talked about camp experience,interesting,touching moments,etc.

Suddenly the CAMP PMS APPEARED OUTSIDE KFC!

Waved vigorously to each other,like wow!:D

& they were gone.

Mall-saw the PMs again.Talked to them,normally when you see teachers and stuff,you cringe cuz you have the mindset that when teachers see you at the mall,they'll scold you and stuff?

But NO,the PMs said hi to us like really friendly.

--

Overall,the camp was really inspiring.

It motivated the cohort to succeed.

We stood for 1 hour 20 mins.

We did 1540 success claps.

We did our drills and stand-by-beds well in the end.

This camp made us see through the other side of a person.

Leaders we've never thought will be.

Amazement.This camp made a difference.

I truely understand the meaning of 'one for all,all for one' , 'choices have consequences'.

Thanks PMs and AMs for all the learning experiences!:D PM KAY AND ANGUS! WHOOSAY!

It will be engraved in our hearts,the fun,laughter,sweat,determination,punishments,endurance.
