Adventure Camp 2013

Hey Guys,

As most probably all of you guys know, I am a volunteer in the Boys' Brigade back in my old secondary school.

When I first entered the Boys' Brigade, I didn't know what does Boys' Brigade do. I mean Scouts are like adventure craze and NCC is like the ametuer level of the real NS (National Service).
Frankly, not a lot know about the Boys' Brigade, so I'll try as much as possible to publicize the awesome Boys' Brigade!



So last Friday, 30 August 2013, we had our Adventure Camp!

Initially, the route was planned to be 22 Kilometres, but I think we've probably skipped one kilometre or so. Haha!
From Pasir Ris Park to East coast park. 

Day 1:
Here's Max! My boy! About to enjoy our dinner! 

Next we moved to Pasir Ris Park.
On our first night, we've encountered a snake! I think it's a viper. 

The Boys' setting up the tents. 

The last parade, about to sleep!
A short day for all of us. 
Day 2: 

Preparing the 5BX, it's the 5 Basic Exercise to get the body ready for the day!

Our Captain. 



The platoon I'm taking care of. Of course, with my partner primer, Marcus!



A photo of the whole company with the beautiful Sun rise and sea as background. 

Meet the officer that took care of me when I was still a boy! Mr. Dennis Oh. 

We head out on our expedition! 
Managed to snap a picture of me!



These are some stunning scenery we had while on our expedition.


The one and only handsome Marcus.


We decided to walk across the drain, full of algae.

End up I was the only one that fell. I hate algae now. 

We had our lunch at the McDonalds. 


Swagalicious Yu Heng. 


We continue our adventure afterwards. With lesser loads though. HAHA. 


The other platoon at the same time. 
All looking kinda sad and forced to drink the milk tea. 

The rest of the company had already reached there, and was setting up the tents. 

While my platoon is sitting on the streets, waiting for safety vehicle. 


We had BBQ for dinner at East Coast Park, that's me!
I think everyone was too tired to take anymore pictures, so that's all for the BBQ.

Day 3:
We had the Sand Mermaid as the final game for the camp!

In the process of burying!!


My fellow Primer, Ruben!
The poor Jian Hong, burying himself. Haha!


About dead, HAHA!

Lobster instead of Mermaid?

My Team's mermaid!
Poor Jian Hong with sand everywhere. 
Platoon 28

Platoon 27

Platoon 26
Our platoon won!


Next were the promotion! Congrats to all!







Candid photo of the junior and senior. 
How can we end without a group picture?




Everyone was sleeping in the bus ride home, haha, can't blame them!

That marks the end of the camp. Of course I didn't managed to upload all the pictures, but these are the cream of crop since 98% were taken by someone else. I'm really not good in photo taking, haha. 

I really enjoyed myself in the camp, be it the expedition or the BBQ, all were very memorable to me. Some might be skeptical since I kept lecturing people throughout the camp. But I really enjoyed the camp!

I'm in-charge of platoon 28, the youngest platoon in the company. Sure, there are times where I get weary and demotivated, but seeing all of them enjoying this camp was really encouraging to me! 


So till next time, stay awesome and rock on.
