One-Night Camp at the UnderWater World...

On 9 and 10 of Jun, I brought 48 P4 pupils to the Underwater World at Sentosa for a One-night camp. We set off from school at 4 p.m. and reached the Underwater World at 5 p.m. As the programme only started at 6, I brought the pupils to the Siloso Beach, which was just opposite the Underwater World.

There were altogether three teachers, including myself, in charge of the excursion. They were Mrs Agnes Chua and Mdm Wong K P. We divided into 3 groups to take the pupils to walk around the beach.

The 15 pupils who joined me were from 4B and 4F. I did not really know them but they were fun.




There were a lot of fishes in the aquarium and all of us were fascinated by them when the 2 facilitators, Ryan and Jelene led us around the tunnel in the Underwater World.

Many of us were holding cameras or mobile phones equiped with cameras to take pictures of the water creatures wherever we went.

The dinner and supper were great and everyone had a wonderful time eating after an adventurous journey at the Underwater World. Then we went to the Musical Fountain to watch the half-an-hour show until 9 p.m. After that, all the pupils proceeded to the shower rooms for their long awaiting moment...water and bathing songs... Poor me for I had to act as the cheer leader in the shower room, cheering for them to quickly finish up their washing and shampooing so that the next group of pupils could their turn. Just imagine how hard I had them to lower their RA conversations in the shower rooms as the girls were having their showers in the next container.

At about 11 p.m., the guides led us back to the tunnel in the Underwater World again, but this time, it was the sleeping time.

All the pupils had to put their sleeping bags along the tunnel, just directly below the sea creatures. Wow, have you ever been sleeping with so many sea creatures the whole night before? This moment you see a shark lying on top of you (of course, I mean on the glass top above you), in the next moment, a gigantic stingray swims over your top. The whole night, fishes swam above you, never stopping a moment. I really wished I could do the same, swimming all night long, freely and relaxingly...

However, I did not have a good sleep the whole night. Not because I was so thrilled about watching fishes the whole night, it was the pupils going to the toilet the whole night!

Did they always do that when they were at home? So was it because they were so thrilled and excited that they had the urge to go toilet to de-stress? I heard footsteps the whole night as they needed to walk past me when they went to the toilet.

The pupils were told by the facilitators that they should sleep from 12 midnight to 7 the next morning.

In the end, I knew who were those who did not sleep in the night when we were travelling back to school in the bus........
