ACE camp roks!

Ace camp is over, so is the 2 years I spent with my classmates. Camp was real fun. Didn't appreciate it at first--mosquitoes, living conditions, hygiene....--. I got to know more about my classmates, even though most of them were like how they behaved in class. My group was the best, there was no gay enthu, no suck-ups, no gay entente, no smelly kings, no uncooperative person. First was the activity where we were "stranded" in the jungle and had to build our temporary homes based on wrecks from the "aeroplane". It was real fun, not building the houses but instead pouring water on houses of my classmates after the game to see whose could withstand nature's elements best. Not long after, it was the orienteering where we were supposed to find places based on clues and the use of a compass. There were also stations where my team won M nMs and frozen water which was a privellege for us. Field cooking was horrible for my team as I poured tea leaves into the sardines, thinking that it was spices. Worst of all, thinking that a pack of crystals was salt, i poured it into the soup, ruining my team mates appetite. On the second day for field cooking, I also screwed up the rice by pouring onion and sugar mixture in. I can never go into the cooking proffesion. Rafting was the most disgusting, we had to enter a small lake which was so chalky with "shit-like" plants projecting out of the water that were the only thing visible. The large pipe depositing murky water into the lake also turned my stomach upside down, thinking that it was the sewage. Canoeing was great too, even though i capsized after changing partner with the last canoe to reach the island.-__-. and of course it capsized due to differential in effort to move the canoe. Gunung lambak however showed the true spirit of those whom I looked down on. Despite me making fun of them, they expressed concern over my injuries due to carelessness. The view from the top of the mountain was great. It was the first time being above the clouds with my own physical effort. My bonds with my classmates and to-be ex-classmates were strenghtened, however what pissed me off during the camp was the incident where a camp had collapse and some people who usually suck-up in class refused to help. The ACE camp rocked, I want to be an ACE leader next year. Thank You, shawnjovettmattheusarthurgodwinandyalmericyanxunjoshualeonardtimothydanieldenzelvictormelvinjonathan and many more.
