summer camp

During the Labour's Day I joined the summer camp organised by OUR Club. For me, there is nothing remarkable, though there were some faces and "faeces". Yes, I haven't been before with many of these faces under no other circumstances but study. Just simply link to any other participants to get to know the so called "exciting" or "memorable" parts. There are just too much, so let me think of some flaws. ^^

Physical activity comes first. Perhaps many of them will agree with me, that the "fox" thing is not at all fun. Not to mention the waiting to be fox-ed. 100 men ~ 4 hours. I hate waiting. What's more, we are not permitted to RUN nor JUMP !!! The speed of the pulley going down the rope, I guess a 17 year old child can do better. Then was the "blind night". We were given a thin piece of black cloth each to cover the eyes. Cheating means that you blind folded your eyes but still can see, by looking directly to the front or towards down. Here, assume that each person's fold is 10cm in width. Without folding the cloth at least twice(3layers), I can see through the cover. But if you fold the 10cm more than once, you can for sure look through the small opening due to your nose(there would be none of such opening if your nose is totally flat). Someone said I was cheating, as I didn't fold the cloth even once. What for? As if everyone is still so young to not to know what came next. However, there was rain. Any wet black cloth is not permeable by eyesight, and so there was no way for me to "cheat". Clearly, those folded their black cloth benefited, as they can still look downwards. Haha.


Next is the purpose of this camp (no offence towards anyone). There were a few "statements" being delivered to students before the departure. 1st: this camp gives motivation to make sure all students fullfil JPA's target. Is this not funny? 2nd: this camp can recharge your battery. Is this not irony? 3rd: this camp can relieve you from the workload and make you relax. What? Hmm, let me make an assumption. IF, if we used that 3days to do nothing(relax) or perhaps try to reduce the workload a little bit, will it not be better?


In conclusion, this camp is no doubt a nice one. The explorace, the "swimming" pool?, jungle trekking and leeches, and so on and so forth. Haha, if we would have another one for the same price, I will sign up.
