 I've just slept for like 5 hours straight after finishing the previous post. I don't know why my eyes just could not stay open and the eyelids are getting heavier. It's a sensation I have so far not experienced before; extreme fatigue. 

 The first activity we did was abseiling and believe or not, I did it! It used to be my scariest activity before I went to the camp. I grabbed the string really hard and I couldn't have a good grip on the string with the glove on. Other than that there were the team bonding games, rope courses and mud games. We couldn't do the flying fox activity because of the rain, what a waste. The best day was obviously not the first and third day, those were horrific and horrendous experiences. On some occasions, we were the forgotten class

Day one was appalling, they made us cram in the small space - Multi Purpose Hall with our bags on our laps for so long, so long that before we can do any activity, we would lose our legs due to lack of blood circulation.

On the third day, there was area cleaning and it seems easy to clean the canteen but it's not so when you mop before you sweep the floor. We were like madly sweeping the wet floor while the guys were just sitting there watching. Like how does that feel man, we're like slaves and they are like "I am going to do what I like, you can do all the stuff", not only on that day, it's throughout the camp, I tell you. 

 On the other end of the spectrum, day two we were all very bonded and we had fun. During the campfire, we yelled ourselves hoarse like mad dogs on the loose.

 I kept thinking that the guys were childish and immature but after thinking through, I concluded that I am just like them too. Who am I to judge them? Then a verse popped in my mind - "Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?" from Matthew 7:3. And actually, I am worst than them. And, sorry to those whom I've snapped at during the camp, especially heng ah ma, haha. 

Ahh, I feel much better. (:
