But,a turn around of events during my athletics championship made me very disappointed that I wasn't interested to go for the prefect camp.In addition to that,the Friday which was the first day of the prefect camp was supposed to be the day that my training friends had a farewell party.So,I practically missed out on the last party with my wonderful training friends.
The only thing that I could hope for was that the camp would provide me some sort of happiness after a bad week.And that's exactly what happened during the camp.
Once we arrived,we were supposed to set up our camp.I've joined camping trips where I had to sleep in camps but never once have I help set them up.So,this time,I was determined to learn to set up a camp.After setting up the camp,I found out that it wasn't that difficult at all.At least,I learned something new at the very beginning of the camp.
The only activity that day was ice-breaking.There were a few games that were planned to help us to get to know other prefects especially the ones from the afternoon session.We were also instructed to use different languages.It was fun but I was feeling really sleepy as the game was held way past my bedtime.
The next day,I woke up at 6 after quite an uncomfortable night.It didn't mind the comfort level as such things were normal during camping trips.For the first time in months,I didn't shower in the morning(due to lack of time) and just managed to brush teeth,wash face and change T-shirt for the morning exercise.The main activity of the day was the jungle trekking.It was a long long journey to the midway point of Gunung Angsi.The only bad part of this experience was that we had to walk back the same way,not an alternative route.Other than that,I really loved the sight of nature throughout that journey.
That evening,there was a game that required great teamwork.Each group had to work together to place a small ball the furthest from a given point without touching the ground after the given point.After some great teamwork,my group managed to win that challenge.
Next morning,there was a ball game after the morning exercise which was fun to not only play but also to watch.After that,we packed our camp and sat in the main hall for a speech and the closing ceremony.There was also a photograph session at the end of the closing ceremony.All the prefects were so heated up to get themselves in all the pictures as chances of returning to that wonderful campsite in Ulu Bendul,Negeri Sembilan was not that bright in the future for most of us.
As I mentioned earlier,the short-lived happiness during the camp managed to distract me a little away from the disappointment of not performing well during the athletics championship.I managed to forget the past to enjoy myself during all the activities.That camping trip was sadly,the last prefect camp that I would attend.Something memorable but short-lived,I will never forget the fun I had with my fellow prefects during the 3 day 2 night trip..........
