My StoryBook
ATC (Adventure Training Camp) Day 1, 2, 3
Coming back home with ant and mosquito bites making my hands and arms swollen, and not just that, it is also very itchy. While typing this I just can’t stop scratching my injured parts. I so want to put MOPIKO the medication for insect’s bites but my friend was complaining in the boat when she put the medication on her injured parts. I have enough pain and suffering for three days already.
I just came home from my SEC 3 ATC (Adventure Training Camp) at Pulau Ubin a little island away from Singapore. I was there for three days for my NPCC annual ATC. It is actually very tough. I mean sleeping in tent for three days above an ant nest beside the woods. It was not that bad actually because the entire ant did not crawl up into my bags. Lucky me!
But it actually went into all my friends bags; have to say that I’m lucky. Ha-Ha!
I made lots of new friends. We had an extra school that joined us which is BUKIT PANJANG GOVERNMENT HIGH SCHOOL SECONDARY THEY ARE FROM AREA 20. I’ll try to name the campers that were in my group. Firstly, Jauhari, Phillyis, Musfirah, Li Ting, Jason, Jeremy, Claymon, Amirah, Li Sian, Hassim, Anisha, Nadi, Yin Ying and one more I’m not so sure about her name. The campers who are not in my group names, Haziman, Yusof, Lukman, Yassin, there are actually lots of them, but I just forgot their names. That’s Ok. I will try my best to get their name again.
There are actually lots of things I have learnt during the camp. “Endurance is not base on your physical limitations but mentally. You may be small but you can hold on much longer. Endurance is actually mentally because when you say that you can do it, you will do it. So what if you have a muscular body but you don’t have the endurance you won’t go far”, said Mr. Suffian (Officer of Bartley secondary school). That was very beautiful.
What have I learnt? I’m not so sure. I know, with the experience I have learnt how an encourager can bring up the morale of a person just by smiling at them. I have also learnt how to be patient and respect the person who you are working with. Lastly I have learnt that teamwork goes a very long way because when you work as a team you can achieve much more than always fight in a team.
THE END
