Overseas Trip to

MAWAI ECO CAMP

01 Dec- 04 Dec 2011

Hey there! So recently, seven of us (Felicia, JiaHui, Nisa, Syuhada, YanTing, Jingwen & Genevieve) went for a combined UG and adventure sports overseas trip to Mawai, in Malaysia.Here are some of our reflections about the trip for you to enjoy! :D Sorry I can't put ALL our reflections cuz the post will be UBER long and y'all will be bored. Our combined reflections are like 10 Microsoft word pages! :P The pictures haven't been uploaded yet! Keep checking for them! :))

Day 1

- Set up canvas beds

- Asli animal traps demonstration (Natural Innovations)

- Swampforest walk

- Asli water obstacles challenge

- Designing of flag & reflection

Reflections

Therewas a swarm forest walk and water obstacles. During the swarm forest walk, Igot to taste different types of edible plants and leaves. Throughout the walk,I had some difficulty with some of the places but thankfully, people from otherCCAs helped me along the way. I talked to some of the girls from other UGs andgot to know them slightly better. The water obstacles were really challengingand required a lot of balance and concentration. I felt there I could have hadmore perseverance with some of the obstacles. I also felt that I could havemore initiative during the V-bridge obstacle. However, I am quite satisfiedwith a few of the obstacles that I went through as I completed them prettyeasily. I also got the chance to talk to some of the guys from NPCC whilewaiting for my turn to complete the obstacles. The flag-making activity atnight was a good bonding time for Guides and NPCC. We made a flag with thethemes, ‘family’, ‘confidence’, ‘survival’ and ‘feetprints’.
-YanTing

Today we headed of toMawai. We arrived in school at 7.30 am and found out that Leeyana had foodpoisoning and that she won't be able to go to Mawai. we felt really sad for heras we knew she really wanted to go. the bus ride to Mawai was really quiet. Wedidn't talk much to people from other CCAs. The sec 2 guides however did talkto Abu and joked around. Jia Hui kept asking people for bubble gum saying thatshe will only be their friend if they give her their gum. When we arrivedat the camp site, we went to set up our beds. Then we had lunch andwent to the animal traps demonstrations. Next we went for the swampforestwalk. It was really muddy and hard to get around. Luckily some of theboys from other CCAs were kind enough to help the girls out.After the walk, wewent to the water obstacle. It was very enjoyable. i was very proud ofmyself as i managed to complete 3 obstacles. WE didn't manage to complete thegroup obstacle. it was raining at night so we couldn't go for the fireflycruise. Instead we made Flags to bring to Gunung Arong the next day. Sleepingon the canvas bed was really scary. i was afraid of falling so i didn't sleepat all!

-Nisa

Day 2

- Set off for Mt Gunung Arong (300m high)

- Lunch at summit

- River cruise @ night (Fireflies watching)

Reflections

The trek up the mountain wasquite strenuous, and it wasn't surprising that many of us were out ofbreath. :O However, it really helped to strengthen our bonds with the peoplearound us. It taught us a lot of teamwork, and I learnt that by encouragingothers, we actually encourage ourselves too! I learnt perseverance, aswell as the power of mind over matter, and we eventually made it to the summitand got a breathtaking view of the sea. The trek down was no easier than thetrek either, as one instructor quoted, someone once said, "I climbed ahill but came down a mountain." However, it did bring out the best ineveryone, and strangers were helping strangers so that everyone could comesafely down the hill. Also, I learnt the true meaning of going "slow andsteady" during the both the trek up and the trek down. We had a lot of funtrekking the mountain and our time was filled with lots of laughs,determination and staring at the ground. :P

Thefirefly cruise taught me a lot about fireflies. Did you know that there werefireflies which glowed blue-green? During the cruise, the driver switched offthe boat's engine and for a while, we sat in silence, listening to the soundsof the forest. It made me realise that here in Singapore, we are alwayssurrounded with noise, be it that of traffic or people talking, that we forgetwhat silence sounds like. To be honest, before the boat's engine was switchedoff, I didn't realise that it was making any noise at all! We're so used to thenoise that we forget that sometimes we just need a little quiet time to remindus what silence sounds like.

-Genevieve

Today we went on a hill trekking, whichwas uber tiring and tough. I have never had such experience so I didn’t knowwhat it was like trekking a hill. After today, I realised I have bad staminaand I had actually wanted to give up when we were just 100m above ground. Thewalk up was definitely steep and dangerous. I almost fell a couple of timesmyself. Thanks to my fellow friends and teacher who continuously encouraged me,I managed to pull through the whole trek and reach the summit successfullywithout giving up. Encouragement is really powerful as it can change a person’smindset drastically! I have never expected myself to complete the trek whileclimbing it as it was horrendous and I was very tired. I am proud of myself forpersevering all the way and not giving up. Determination plays an importantrole too. Without it, none of this could have happened.

-Felicia

Day 3

- CIP @ Kampong

- Community Sports activities (Traditional games, etc.)

- Campfire & Sing-along

Reflections

Today, we went to the Kampong for Community Involvement Programme. We did many things there including cleaning the windows, helping them to remove grass, etc. I think cleaning the windows was quite disgusting because the windows were really dirty and while we were cleaning, there were hundreds of flies flying around us. Next, we had to clear the grass patch. Clearing the grass was very tiring, and yet was very fun. After we had placed the unwanted grass into the garbage bag, they told us to burn it. I was rather shocked because in Singapore, we didn't do such things as it was heavily polluting the air. After all the work we had done, we had some Community Sports activities such as traditional games like congkak, learning how to make ketupat and learning to play instruments. I really enjoyed playing congkak as I used to play it when I was in primary school. Learning how to make the Ketupat was rather difficult. I gave up halfway while trying to learn it. I think if I had the chance to learn it again, I would not give up so easily. I also really loved playing the Malay instrument (I don't know what it's called). Later at around 4 plus, we returned to the campsite to prepare for the campfire. Each CCA had to come up with a different performance. We came up witht he History of Guides, NCC with the chicken dance, Scouts with the "Bom Chika Bom" dance, NPCC with a cheer and adventure sports with a song performance. Overall, it was super fun and we got to get along with other people from different CCAs.

-JiaHui

Today's Kampong visitfor CIP was a truly memorable experience, we received a very warm welcome whenwe arrived at the kampong. Also, we helped to do cleaning up at the village,which was a very meaningful activity to do for the people living at thevillage. We also had to opportunity to learn traditional games likecongkak, we had a lot of fun at the games and we also had the chance to playand interact with the kids at the village! Other than that, we also learned howto make ketupats, it was very challenging for me because i couldn't speak Malayand had a hard time communicating with the villager trying to teach me, but itwas very heart-warming to see them try so hard to teach us even though wecouldn't talk to them in their language! We also learned some simple Malaymusical instruments and had a band to perform a few short demos for us, it wasreally enjoyable and interesting! Overall, this experience made me realize howfortunate i am to be living in a urban city because the villagers living at thekampong are not as privileged as we are to have such amazing facilities athome or at school. I'm glad i got a chance to do something for them.

-JingWen

Day 4

- Aerobics class @ Kampong

- Performance for villagers

- Gift exchange

Reflections

We spent our last day in Mawai learning some basic Malay Dance aerobicmoves with the villages! This activity really brought everyone closer as we dida mass dance together, as one. I learned that we should do activities as awhole, not by one person to enjoy it fully and make more friends! By thisactivity, I could help those who were unable to catch up and I was able to showmy potential and be more friendly towards other people!

In conclusion, I learned that we should have a strong mindset towards anythingwe plan to do! If we do not have a strong and stable mindset about a certainactivity, negative points would appear and we would avoid doing that certainactivity. I also learned that we have to be prepared for any emergencies orsudden changes and adopt to them. The weather was unpredictable during the campand we had to do many activities that involves perseverance and commitment suchas the muddy swampwalk and climbing the mountain. Other than that, we must alsoimprove on certain things. I noticed that other CCAs did not complain on thedirty environment we were camping in and they did not bother about the insects.They didn't care about the number of insects swarming around them, how manymosquito bites they got and how the insects irritated them. We could improve inthat. We should be like them and should not care about those insects who didn'teven bother us in the first place. We should also work on our initiative. Inotice we did not take the initiative in most of the activities. We learned ourlesson so we will take more initiative in the future! The most memorable eventthat happened to me was the CIP work. With that activity, I had bonded withother people, getting to know them better and had a chance to work with them,to learn from what good qualities they had and help them improve on theirinsecurities. We also got to help the villages, without expecting anything inreturn. That should be the way of life. I really enjoyed the camp and I willrecommend the juniors to go!

Hehheh. :P We all learnt to be more intitiative and to look out for each other. Everyone was really participative and thus we had the BEST TIME EVER!! I'm sure if we had to make the choice again, we would all choose to go to Mawai! Lastly, thank you Ms Lau for looking out for all of us! :D You rock!

And guides,

G-DOUBLE O-D-J-O-B
GOOD JOB *clap clap*

HERE'S TO THE AWESOME MAWAI!!! :D

Reflection

2011-11-22T09:50:00.001+08:00

HIHI GUIDES:) its oriole turn to write the reflection:)

Guides End of year Camp Day 1 :)

In the morning we had a balloon sculpture workshop. Overall, we think that this balloon sculpture is very interesting, it allow us to bond together well as we interact with each other a lot. Most importantly, it helped some guides to overcome their phobia of balloons. We believe that this skill that we have learnt can benefit both Guides and the school a lot, as we are able to use these balloons during any events:)

This time we had an hour lunch at anywhere we want near the prawning area. It was relaxing as we get to choose where we want to eat as we had freedom to choose and it trains our punctuality.

The last activity was PRAWNING!:) This is the most memorable activity as many guides have never gone prawning before.Thus, it was first hand experience for them. This activity trains our patience A LOT and our endurance to continue to wait and handle the baits ( disgusting! :/ ). It also train the entire guides teamwork as some had to catch the prawn and some had to BBQ the prawns. Also, it started raining all of a sudden and the prawning area is quite a distance from the shelter and not all guides brought an umbrella.We had to share and take care of each other as it was very slippery and very cold:/

Overall, we think that today was very exciting as we do not know any programme lined up for us beforehand and we really enjoyed it :) We hope we can go prawning or maybe fishing again :)

With lovveeee,
Oriole! :)
