Eloy's diary entry 1

I felt so lost, there are a thousand different emotions swirling around my head . Today i had to carry out an eviction order . We rode for six hours , reaching Rio Chiquito . I saw the family at the door of their miserably tattered hut . Covered in rags , they stared back at the lieutenant with their lifeless eyes , pale and silent lips quivering . They loaded their belogings , straining their arms which protested in pain to carry their shabby iron beds , table and wardrobe . I was troubled by the thought of the same thing happening to my family . After escorting the family to a boundary of coconut palms , i was ordered to burn their hut . If the family was watching from the coconut palms , i think they will feel angyry at the same time sad , to see their home get burnt. The structure that has been sheltering them from rain , preventing the sun from baking them. The humble hut that , despite its shabbiness , was home . My mind instinctively drift to my family . I had a stab of fear .

Part A camp

Part A camp,another NCC camp, was held in my school. this is a training camp not like the Camp FEAST which is a fun camp.When I arrived there, we had bag inspection ,after that we had a physical training session. the training was tough, harsh and we got punished for not maiking the time limit.We were rewarded a 10-20 seconds break when we manage to complete the task given.after the physical training session,we had lunch and had to clean the canteen tables we used after using them.Then, we had campcraft which teaches us useful skills. I learnt the factors of camoflouge, and also learnt how to do Rush,high alert,low alert,lepord crawl, baby crawl.I lernt to find the range between me and another object.Later we had dinner and had to clean our bunks(classrooms)we had to do a lot of push-ups as punishment as our bunks was not clean enough(I think we were given too little time to clean). Later I slipped and fell down a few steps of stairs while trying to complete a task.I hurt my back when it hit the stairs and hurt my knee my I landed. I spent the night in the sick bay and in the moring after having breakfast, we hiked to changi village.The hike was exciting and fun.Soon, we reached Changi village,(which was 10.3km away from my school)we took 2 hours to reach ther and took a bus back which took only 20 minutes. We had a proper breakfast beforing cleaning our bunks in our free time. Later, we had a lecture about NCC and broke camp.The camp left me exhausted,my limbs aching and I feel a bit angry at the seniors when I think of the camp again. Anyway i passed the camp and got a certificate.This camp was just the first training camp, and there is more to come (gives me goosebumps when i think about it). I hope the another camps can be more reasonable and less tough.

Camp FEAST

Camp FEAST is a NCC sec 1 camp. when we arrived there, we were excited about the activities they had planned for our 2D1N camp. We get to do flyng fox, paintball, archery and rock climbing. On the first day we did archery first. We had to move the bullseye onto the field in prepartion for shoooting.Each of us oly gets five arrows. Sadly I only shot 4 arrows as the lost arrow was damaged by the person who used it before me.Later, we went to the paintball station. We were instructed to stand behind a oil drum and use the gun to shoot the targets.There are nine targets about 4 meteres infront of you and 3 water bottles about 6 meters infront of you.If you are able to hit the water bottle,you are considerd a marksmen.(there is no ai assist or scope)I managed to hit one bottle,Hooray for me!!!!We did the flying fox too. after putting on the harness, we clinbed up the tower. On top, there were two lines. i Got a birds eye view up there. Many screamed their heads off when they zoomed down. Soon, my turn came,my harness was clipped to the line. The guy beside me wnet down screaming Vag*na.which was quite weird and funny. as went down, i could feel the wind in my ears.(i did not scream)the rest of the camp was fun but some parts were uneventful. Soon it was the next day and we had to go back home.Camp FEAST made us very exhausted but i felt that the camp was very meaningful and fun.(FEAST stands for Fun,Experincing,Adventurous,Sociable,Teamwork)
