Patrol Camp -Yi Chien (Group 6)

Patrol camp was not bad.. But if it was 3 days 2 nights it would have been better. We went to East Coast Park for a day, we cycled, played volleyball, waterbombs and at lunch at mac.. It would me better if we could have a mini BBQ and camp fire.. (: But overall it was fun! (:

last year i had lots of fun at OAC and hope to have more this year 2011. i hope to see more sports involved in OAC example soccer or a mini badminton competitions and more outdoor activities as in out of school activities.Oac could also have more camps maybe instead of school some sort of adventure camp. The indoor programs could also use some work.I wish all OAC members a happy new year!

Patrol Camp - Musyirah (Group 6)

Patrol camp was the most fun thing I went to during the holiday , thats because I have done nothing during the school holiday .

So anyway - back to the topic - it was a 1D2N camp , I wished it was 2D3N that time but anyways , we spent the whole day @ East Coast . There was so many dogs there (I love big ginat dogs , especially Siberian Husky<3>

Kayaking star 2 course reflection by Lemuel Koh(3E5)(OAC)

This is the second time I have kayaking since OBS. It was held at pasir Ris beach not at changi beach. I was a little scared because of the reports that said thatthe waters there had a high level of entercocous bacteria.. For star 2, we split into 2 groups, it was good as I had a few of my good friends with me. Our instructor,May, reviwed all of star 1 kayaking skills and taught us new and interesting skills and strokes on how to control and propel the boat better. It was super cool! we also learnt rescue skills like the Eskimo bow rescue. During the last day, we went to Coney island, approx.3.3km away. That's where we did the rescue drills. It was an Exciting and informative experience for me. I would consider taking the kayaking star 3 course now..

Climbing- NurShabrina 1E5

Im in the climbing team , so i would like to take this chance to write about my experience , feelings and emotions that I've been through in my team .
Starting with my experiences , I've been through hard times with my team mates ,vry tiring training and a competition . Going through hard times was a disaster but , we managed to understand each others roblems and soon began to be friends again . :) Tiring training was every time of the sessions . I knew that complaining is not going to help me achieve my dreams of being a rock climber , so I make myslef believe that I make make through the training successfully . So far , I've only been involved in one competition . It was hard but I strived for the best . Looking at the other climbers climbing , it brought ideas to me on how to climb the walls .
We also learnt technics , taught by Ms Joanne , our coach for our team. She's great . By learning technics , im getting better in climbing . ^^
Im looking forward to more climbing .

Kayaking star 1

From: Grace lew Jin Jie

I attennded kayaking star 1 about three moth ago. It was very fun, i enjoy the learning process. The teacher teached us how to kayak properly and even teached us how to carry the boat. Although i am very small in size, but i stll managed to carry the boat and pour out the water in the boat, with the help of my OAC friends.The scarry part of this program is when we know that the water which we were suppose to kayak on have JELLY FISH and PRWNS, and one of my frend got sting by the jelly fish!!! I learned a lot of things at the end of the day! Although my kayaking skill is not so good as the teacher's, i even capsized several times, but i am very happy that i learned something.The most interesting part is when we saw all the tired face of the OAC students.

Kayaking Star 1.

Hi.Hello.Hi.Hello.Hi.Hello.

I've attended the kayaking star 1 course a few months ago.
It was from ten a.m. to five p.m. but we all have to meet at eight a.m. in school as we have to wait for people and for the transport.
Before we start on the course, all of us were excited as most of us did not tried kayaking before. When we reach there, most of us play there while some went to have their breakfast.
When we reach there,all of us were talking to each other to get rid of our nervousness.
When we start, we first learn how to capsize, and after that, we learned how to call for help if we are capsized with our peddles and kayak not floating away.
After that, we went for lunch and continued with our programme.
Next, We went to the canal to learn more skills for kayaking.
After that,some of us went for a bath before returning home and some of us even left our shoes there!
After that,it was time to go home and the next day continues...

Bye.Thanks.Bye.Thanks.Bye.Thanks.

Kayak Star 1

Last two Saturdays ago , I went to attend a two-day kayak course star 1 . I was late on my first day of course , I woke up 15 mins late then went back to sleep because I knw the bus would already have left me , then my mom woke me up again saying that Ms Noraida would fetch me .

Then I waited for Ms Noraida , she came with a cab , woohoo :) And we ate some keropok . Derick was also late so we went to fetch him . Upon my arrival at there , I saw Lyana and after I kept my belongings in the locker provided , I went to chichat with her and Vanessa . I was damn excited 'cause I saw so many chinese dudes , my taste siaa !!! So , I thought that the instructor would be a chinese dude too , skali got one old man , but he is a very , very nice instructor , he's name is Shukor which means Hope in malay .

After we introduce ourselves to Shukor and Shukor introduce us to him and the equipments , we headed to the shore . First we went to play a lil' bit of splashing of water then we learnt how to capsize , damn shiok . Initially Ms Noraida , can't capsize , we were suppose to get out of the boat during under water , but Ms Noraida was still there when Shukor turned the boat back , LOL

After kayak and kayak we when back to school , then me Lyana , Vans and Trevor went to McDonald to have our dinner . At there , we saw Ms Noraida and some of our OACmates , at first we didn't have a place to eat , then we wen to check out at CWP B1 then Ms Noraida called to tell us that Faiz and Hadii chop place for us ready , SO THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS :)

Kayaking 1. 4 & 5 september 2010.

Kayaking one was a different experience from our kayaking sessions for class camps. It was a challenge to learn skills other than just directing your Kayak frontwards and backwards and apply it during the test. Scariest thing, of course, was the risk of capsizing at any point of time. The wind and waves that could come at any point made it even more challenging. But thank God for the amazing weather we had and the smooth waves that made the whole session fun. We pretty much learnt most of our skills on the first day. We got the oppurtunity to practice and play on the second day. The test was carried out in 15 minutes and it was then the end of the kayaking session.
The best part was going home with the feeling of achievement after passing the test.

Kayaking Star 2 by Yi Chien :D

It was a great time learning all the skills that we had to learn during the session.We learned alot of rescuing skills and strokes.Although the water was dirty,we had alot of fun capsizing, rescuing and practising our skills.We got sunburn badly at Pasir Ris beach.We also had an expedition to an island ad it was very fun and tiring, we also got to trying on different roles. (Example: Leader, Side men and Last men) Althought at the end of the day, it was tiring, but it was worth it and I got my cert.!!!I'm looking forward to Kayaking Star 3 for more capsizing, rescuing etc. :DD

Kayaking Star 1

I was looking forward for this course during the September holidays but wasn't looking forward to the scorching sun. Before the kayaking course started, i applied plentiful of sun block because i didn't want to be dark! My instructor was shukor, a very understanding and nice man who guided us. Everyone must be able to capsize and get back on the shore. The sea water was so salty and also dirty. We learned about side-sweeping, kayaking front and back and to be able swim 50m away from the shore. The next day, it rained but we still proceeded on and kayak. It was freezing cold and it drizzle a little. In the afternoon, the rain subsided and we played around after we all pass our test. I must say that the sea made me seasick and dizzy. Carrying of the kayaks was also tiring as it was very heavy. After a very long day spent in the sea, we were very famished so i went to MacDonald with Lyana, Musyirah and Trevor. We saw hady and clique at there too :-)

CRC by gin teo seok yee

I remember CRC fondly. It was a really memorable experience. I had mixed feelings as I glanced at the towering wood with trepidation. I have always relished high places; they let me see things from another perspective. I tried various high elements and I liked it. The wind flitering through your hair felt nice and cooling on your skin. We were split into different groups and each group was given a different high elemnt to complete. After my turn I helped with managing ropes. The teamwork between the belayer and the anchor was good, everyone was organised, friendly and I applaud the Secondary 1s' courage. I'm sure everyone had fun and it was a pleasant activity. :3
