The first day of the CCA camp, we went to Palau Ubin with the field study club people. We took bus to the changi jetty and took a bump boat to Pulau Ubin. After that, we took a small van to go to the Chek Jawa. After we reach Chek Jawa, The weather over there was very hot and humid. Not only that, there were many mosquitoes over there. We walked around to see the scenery over there.I like the sea at Chek Jawa, the scenery over there were very beautiful. We stayed at there for a while and we went back to Changi Village for our lunch. After that, we took a walk at the Changi coast. That was the last activities we had on day 1. Although it was very tiring, but I had learnt many things through this trip. I enjoyed the trip very much.
The second day of the CCA camp, we went to East Coast Park for a bicycle ride. I enjoyed the bicycle ride. We are supposed to play the team building games at the East Coast Park, but it rained. So in the end, we went back school and play the games. I and my friends did not play the games as the games were organised by us. Even though some people were bickering but it was fun. We did a survival cooking with the NPCC cadet people. We cooked instant noodles; it was very fun as it was the first time I cook with my friends.
The third day of the CCA camp, we ran three rounds at the field. After that, we played captain ball. It was quite fun. We had our break after that. Then now, I am posting my reflections for this three days camp.

Day 1 Trip to Pulau Ubin
We went to Pulau ubin. We went there to take pictures and it was so tiring. We took a bus to change jetty, and followed by the bumpboat to Pulau ubin. We were spending most of our time walking. And Mr chong was asking us to speak more English through the journey as we were all speaking Chinese. We also took picture of a beautiful butterfly on a leaf. After reaching the jetty, we went for a coastal walk there. I saw a green snake on the way. We were walking non stop but I realise we only spent 1hour walking.. It was ridiculous. But the scenery over there was beautiful. The waves in the sea and the wind blowing my hair makes me feel so relaxing. This trip was fun but really tiring.
Day 2 Cycling at east coast park
We went to east coast park to for cycling and roller blading. I was slacking as I was having a bad stomachache. I went to the beach and sat down alone there to enjoy the wind and the moving waves. After that, we were suppose to have team building games but it ended up raining. So we went back to sch. After the rain is over, we started our team building games.
It was rather fun but those few china boys were finding fault with us. Other teams were fine except their team. After that, we had survivor cooking by npcc. It was fun ! But the cooking was tiring. The noodles were quite tasty. Especially the soup. After that , we were dismissed.
Day 3 Captains’ ball in school
We stayed in school today for running and captains’ ball game. I suddenly realise how many PE lessons we’ve missed. Captains’ ball is so boring playing with those china boys with big sizes. We are sure to lose. Had our recess and went blogging for the camp reflection.

On the first day of the camp, we went to Pulau Ubin with the Field Studies Club members. We went to the Changi Jetty and took a bumpboat to Pulau Ubin then we take a small van which can contain 10people to ChekJawa. On the way, there were many trees and it looks almost the same. We could see many sea-creatures, spiders and ants when we are having our walk. We took the boat back to Changi Jetty and eat at Changi Village and at 2pm, we walked back to meet at the ferry terminal then we had a walk at Changi Costal, it was a very long walk as we have to walk to the end of the place and walk to where we first started.
On the second day, we went to East Coast Park with the entire D&I club members. We cycled along the path till the end of the jetty then we ride back to return our bikes. After a while, it rained so we have to walk to a shelter and wait for the rain to stop. After that, we came back to school to play the games. We played the balloon game, ping-pong game, water-bomb game and a game which is played by moving the van-guard sheet to the end of the court while we are standing on it. We had several confusions but after all, we are back to the same again. I think that I have seen most of the member’s true colours, if we didn’t play the game, we wouldn’t have seen it. We had survival cooking with the NPCC people and we cooked instant noodles with a pot and we were supposed to wash it.
On the third day, we ran round the field in the morning. And then, we played captain ball game, I feel that the opponent which we are playing against are very scary as they are older than us so they are much stronger than us. We end the game at around 9 plus and we went back to the Design Studio to drink water and we even sing a birthday song for my friend, XiaoHui as it is her birthday today.
Then we had our break and here I am blogging.

The day Thursday 28th of May. It’s the day where we the Design and Innovation Club went to East Coast Park to cycle. Well it was a really sunny day at first, before it rain at about 12.40pm. We first of course start of by renting bikes. The bike renting shop which we rented from was really cheap compared to the other shops I rented bike from, this shop rental costs only 5 dollars, whereas other shops costs about 7 to 10 dollars. Plus the shop even gives a free drink! While waiting for my teacher to handle the giving of money to the uncle of the shop. I did some warming up. Then finally we head out. First I thought we were going to cycle in a group going the same way but luckily the teacher split us into tiny groups and told us we could go anywhere we want but must be back at 12.15pm near the shop. My friends and I head out the last as we do not know which way to go. We finally headed out, became bored really fast. So I thought of racing the guys, then when I reached the place where there is cable skiing, my peddle fell of. I had to cycle all the way back to the shop which is about 1km with one foot as no one can help me fix it. It really hurts. After reaching back at the shop to change the bike my buttocks had a cramp. So I had to rest for a while, well of course all my friends blame me about it. After I recovered we head out again, we still left about 20mins so I just cycled really fast leaving my friends behind. When we were heading back to the shop to get a drink because we drank finish our drink I finally know how to cycle with no hands yeah.

On the 27th of May, my DNI group went to Pulau Ubin with Field Studies Club. We went there by school bus and boat. It is a long trip. Mr Roland Tan also follow along with my group. I think he is funny because he told a lot of jokes. When we reached there we walked a long the mangroves and we saw a lot of trees and crabs. It is very interesting for me. Some people took photo. I wanted to take photo but I didn’t bring camera and my phone is no battery. On the way, we saw a tower and go to the top. FSC took a video about the trees, crabs and tower. The teachers explained about the Pulau Ubin and mangroves. After that, we take a rest about 5 mins. We turn back to Changi village about 1 o’clock. The teachers gave break for lunch until 2 o’clock. And then, we met at change village and we went to changi coast for walking. We walked along the coast and turn back together. Moreover, on the half way, we saw a snake and the teachers told us pls be careful. It is very dangerous and the snake colour is green. After that we come back to school about 5:30 by school bus. That day was very tired because we walked the whole day.
On the 28th of May, we went to the East Coast about 9 o’clock by school bus. But that day only my DNI group. The FSC group could not follow us because they would make video for Pulau Ubin. That day, our CCA teacher, Mdm Ang and Mr Yang followed us. When we reached there, we rent bicycles and Mr Yang said everybody will paid $5 for rent.Moreover, he said again 1 group 3 ppl and will go together and will give him each group phone numbers. My group was 4 people and they are Russell, Harrison, Josh and me. And then we start cycling along the beach. One the half way, Russell’s bicycle was paddle broke the, so we turn back to bicycle shop for fix it. When we reached there, the shopper change another bicycle and we went again cycling. After cycling, we came back to school about 12:15.When we reached the school, the teachers said we would play some game for fun. So we prepare for the game. After that we played and the teachers gave the prizes who win the game. After that game, I felt my body was very pain. At about 4 o’clock, our group joined to the NPCC for cooking . At 6 o’clock we come back home.
