Ltc 2008
LTC has been the best camp that I ever had In my life. It’s like looking at life at different perspective and to see the great power that is hidden beneath teamwork. Haha perhaps its because the group of people who were chosen for the camp is the CHOSEN GROUP- means the better personality
My group is the HTC group and hahaa…. I’m thinking about the inter- HTC discussion… lolz hahaha!!!

Day 1
Gathered at CJC, gathered at the auditorium extension,STONING !!! after a few familiar faces came, chit some chat….then played some bonding games….went through workshop….and yup hahaha finally boarded the bus to leave for Dairy farm…
Checked in our bunks, changed into PE attire… have lunch…. Then clean up the whole canteen as we got the forfeit during the bonding games…. And yup our 1st activity …… Problem solving at quarry……. Our group name: AS ONE ‘s first test- on how to work as a team to transfer pingpong ball over to another pail by pulling string tied on to another pail…. Yup it was difficult at first, as we had no idea, the few balls that could go inside its because of luck… 14 minutes+++ our first timing…but then we requested for another try… yup guess what??? 5 minutes ++++ and our score was the highest 19/20 !!!
Next game , blindfold game- whereby everyone was blindfolded except one who will be directing us through the obstacles…yup we did it pretty well….
Next game, the” poison river”- unfortunately we did not win but still hahaha…. Its was fun to work as a team…. Must be thankful to ODAC girl….Deborah… For not minding the pair of shoes to get dirty…
Caterpillar- hahaha its really hard … the wind blew…. Balloon flew landed on ‘sharp’ grasses and POOP !!! hahaha…. But still we’re able to complete it….
Number games….. worked pretty well…. Teamwork….. yeah….. support each other……
Tug-of-war wow pretty cool strategy… teamwork….yeah !!!
Then dinner came and yup ate…… Reflection….. and lights out!!!
Oh ya, today also we get to know each other……know each others name, forge friendship…..- able to observe each others….. and our goal for tomorrow….to be able to come out with a Cheer….

DAY 2
Woke up early in the morning…. Yup shower….. have breakfast…..then the most interesting game…. WARGH game….. Holding each laser guns in hands and yup haha battle…. Even though we did not win but we put up a good fight…. Our teamwork also strengthened by then…. I felt that my group can work better among ourselves than combining with others, because in order to do work together, we need to understand each other 1st….. and yah… the climax is when the Green hooded guy emerged into the scene and killing quite a number of the enemy hahahaha… .some referred him as HOBBIT !!!!
-LUNCH-
Then high element… was really touched by the group reaction…. Because they went that far just to get me a chance to try…. Because I was supposedly to miss my chance already, because the time limit was up….. at that time I was really disappointed- its just like in my sec 3 camp, whereby when its my turn, they said “ TIME’S up”. I thought things will be the same but…. Its not…… They went the extra mile to ask the instructor to let me to have a chance to climb the pole(how caring they are)…. Seeing that I was really really touched…. To the extent that I’m like entering some kind of special mode- I was afraid of heights,but during the second game onwards, I can cleared the height obstacle without any problem…. I was surprised too…. But this is actually also because of the cheering of the teammates- TEAM WORK !!!!
Then dinner came and yup reflections….. and sleep

DAY 3
WOKE UP, shower , breakfast…. Low elements games…. This is when our teamwork is put to a real test…. To climb over the wall, jump over using a rope, tyre , jump over string…..we can complete it…. Even though we have to repeat the game all over again due to accidental mistakes, but we never blame each other- instead we encouraged each other….cheer them up, gave moral support… hahahahaha what a great team !!!
Then the scaling down the 3 stories high tower using a rope… cheering do help hahaha…. Rock climbing- as usual I still can’t climb to the peak….
-lunch-
Explore bukit timah hill…. Equipped only with a map and friends…. Even though we went into a dead end, but we managed to work as a team to find the real way- the bicycle track… haha its sooo fun… walking along the track….chit some chat, back each others up…. Even though when the unfriendly weather came, it was overcome by our teamwork !!!! we supported each other...
Yup today’s the last night and yup sad atmosphere was arising…..however friendship will still goes on…..
Day 4
BASICALLY just pack up belongings, breakfast, went back to college…. Then attended the HTC meeting and yup closing ceremony…. The training camp may have ended, but the learning still goes on…. The friendship……the memories……experiences……hardship……. All will always be us….

Just like I have said, this is the best camp I ever have….its the first time I ever see the real power of teamwork….. and for that the group members are really nice people…. Right …HTCs..when the school reopens Lets set off and apply what we have learnt !!! IN TRUTH, WITH JUSTICE, IN HONOUR !!!! AS ONE !!!!WOOSH !!!
