growth camp

Growth camp was a great time that I had together with the school. This is first camp in chong boon.
On the day of Growth camp, the whole school were gathered at the perfect square to wait for the teacher to bring us to where we suppose to go. Finally, the announcement which called for all Malaysia camp members was announced. Felicia and I hurried to the meeting place. After that, Mr Yip led us to the bus. When everyone got in, the bus slowly moved. This is the beginning of our journey to Malaysia.
After 2 hours of travelling, we reached a school in Malaysia. According to the programmes, this school is especially for the invalid. We were gathered in the school hall after we walk inside the school. The principal had a talk before we visit around the school. She said that the job of the teachers were quite hard because they had to look after the children who are not very normal. She advised us not to affair of them because they were people like us too. After sharing with us about the history of the school, how the system was, the school staffs bring us to some of their classroom. At first I was a bit scared of them. Sometimes, some of them reacted a bit strange. However, after i while, I realised that they were very friendly. They were nice people. They taught us to make some household thing s that they were learning. The facilities here were not as good as in Singapore school. The fact was they are pretty poor because they are not funded by the government. The children here were taken in good care of the teachers and the staffs. I could see happiness in their eyes even thought they were disabling. This was a good experience for me.
After we left the school, we stopped at a local food court to have our lunch. When every stomach was filled with food, we continued our journey to the camp location.
To our surprise, our camp was at a sea food restaurant. It was not a camp actually, it was a tour. We got to sleep in a hotel with air-con, bed, and attached bathroom not in a tent. Our dinner was fabulous. There was crab, prawn, fish, chicken, soup. It was an 8-dishes dinner. I could not believe that they called this a camp. We played a game called partner at night. Each of us got to find a partner; and the partner was the one who guided us to where we put our things.
The next day was our hiking trip. We climbed a mountain. There were a lot of locks during the journey to the top of the mountain. The terrible rain fell down and made the ground became muddy. People were struggling to move. All of us were exhausted when we got back to the bus. Despite the cold of the bus air-con, we fell asleep straight away.
The camp was pretty nice so as the people. I get closer to them than last year. Thanks to the camp.
