A Reflection from Branson Chang from Poi Ching Falcons

REFLECTION OF MY TRIP TO PAHANG - WHAT HAVE I LEARN?

Day 1

Today we sat the train from singapore to Jerantut railway station.A boy vomited at the train and the teachers had to clean it out.Then we departed to Hotel Sr kim Yen.We had a bath at the hotel then we went for a sleep at about 2 h.I learned not to eat too much at the train as we might vomit if we had a full stomach while in motion in the train.

Day 2

It was morning!!! Today we ate breakfast at a coffe shop near the hotel.Then we checked out the hotel.We took a coach to Gunung Senyum. We visited about  3 caves.We saw owls flying around in the cave.After that we ate our chicken rice for our lunch.After that we sat the bus to Gua Kota Gelanggi.We took a rest for about 1 hour then we went for fishing.We were fishing when it was raining very heavilly halfway. We rushed back to our camp site.Then we ate our lunch and went for night confidence walk.We had a bath then we the slept in a tent.

Day 3

We woke up and took our brakfast at the campsite.We went for abseiling and rock climbing.I was in the abseiling group.When the 1^st person finished the abseiling, it rained so I had no chance to do abseiling and rock climing. Suddenly I found that I had a leech bite on my right leg and my teacher helped me to put on alcoho pad and plaster.We went back to the campsite.Then we ate our lunch.After that we played game and sang song. One of the games was to tie ourself to each other and then we walked up and down up and down in the small around stream. We then took a refreshing bath at the campsite toilet. We ate our dinner and then we lighted up our light stick and went for the campfire. After that, we went to sleep inside our tent.

Day 4

We took our breakfast as usual in the morning.then we went to 2 caves.The first cave was much harder to climb then the second cave because there were many slopes and obstacles. In the cave, we managed to see some carvings on the cave wall – e.g a picture of a Merlion and the couple married when we were resting at the cave outside. Suddenly, I saw another leech bite on my leg again. The teacher helped me to apply some first aid again. After that we proceeded to the cave. We also saw a lot of small owls.

After that we walked a certain distance to the campsite to eat our lunch. Then we took a bus back to Hotel Sri Kim Yen.

We have a nice bath at the hotel toilet then we went for some shopping. After shopping, we had a rest then we proceeded to a coffe shop to have our dinner. It was a very good dinner with nice dishes. Then we went to the hotel for a rest. After that our teacher brought us to KFC to have our supper.We had a closing ceromonay for this event by forming a horseshoe. Then we bought some food at a supermarket for the next day’s

breakfast.

Day 5

We waited for the train at 12.00 p.m. The train was being delayed from 1 a.m. till 2 a.m. So I slept at the train station for awhile.We sat the KTM sleeping seater back to Singapore.

REFLECTION

I  learnt to make friends with others and to cooperate with the other scouts from 2 other schools. I also learnt to climb caves and how to deal with leech bites.
