Hi All!!!
Yes, you are right. I was not in school for 3 days
to attend the Primary 5 Camp.
It was soooo tiring especially after the first day.
Did all the obstacles course for the high elements.
The most enjoyable was the absailing. I thoroughly enjoyed
myself doing it. It was not that frightening.
The one obstacle that really tested my self confidence and resilient
was the pole jump. I have the pictures to show you.
I was scarry!!! Allow me to describe. It is just a pole(like a bark of the tree)
with stumps for you to climb to the top. It is about the height of a 3-storey
building.
What you are supposed to do for this obstacle is to climb to the top and
grab a horizontal pole infont of you.
Climbing up was easy. The difficult part was placing your two feet to stand
up on the pole. You have to find your balance. Once wrong footing, you fall...
no worries, we have safety equipment.
I took quite a while to get both my feet on the pole. The pole was shaking!!!
Actually, it was not the pole, it was my legs.Then comes the difficult part.
Jumping forward to catch the horizontal pole. Before I went up the pole, Yazid,
reminded me that if I were to do it, I had to have mind over matter. That really helped.
I did not hung on to the pole but.... only managed to touch the pole. I hurt my neck.
It was a big cut in a shape of a mouth. It is sooo big.
I am starting to feel sleepy again because I only had 3 hours of sleep last night.
Will continue tomorrow.
