GB HQ is very big man, and it has that rural area feel, like PBP (except that PBP is REAL rural), a stretch of field stretches beyond the old basketball court. No wonder it’s all in the way in Kovan. Was the last one to reach cos I was the only one who didn’t have anyone to go along with and I didn’t know how to walk from the MRT-GB HQ.
Had a little briefing then came the games. Most of the YAs volunteering came from Cedar so they were together. Anyway, back to the games, we did the number cards game, Punch, I think? It was pretty interesting, we had to choose 1 / 2 numbers then we had to touch those numbers in sequence, one person at a time and we couldn’t step out of our imaginary boundary. 2nd game was to transport water using pipes, that were utter chaos and in the end, the GB guy taught us how to carry it.
The 3rd game was the best, in my opinion anyway, we did trust walk, they blindfolded us using trash bags and we had to follow the person in front of us (in the actual scenario, they will do it in the forest so all the more scarier) and follow the instructions passed down from the person in front of us. Doing that with the people you don’t know gets kinda scary at first but after a while, it was fun. The last game was human soccer, 2 ropes tied to each side and 5 people in each team and we couldn’t let go of the rope we were holding on it kinda like the big scale version of the table soccer game.
Since all of the YAs are going to come on the 10th to do preparation work, I think most probably we will eat breakfast together at Changi Village then meet them(the leaders) at Changi Jetty at 9am. So, I will be gone from the 10th-14th of August.
As all camps goes, after 5 days, something will bound to happen. And 5 days seems rather short, I guess after going to PBP, anything below 9 days is short.HAHA. But still, I am looking forward bonding with those guys.
