I went for my first nature camp at the Papan Forest Nursery.  My friend, Law Wen Jan followed me.  It was the first time I went for a trip without my family.
      When we reached the camp it was hot and stuffy. There were also a lot of mosquitoes. It was more cooling at night and not so many mosquitoes.
      The night walk and jungle trekking were the two events I enjoyed most. I was able to see many different plants and insects. (I love to catch insects). The teachers taught us to put our torch lights next to our right eye and we could see something like diamonds ? they were the eyes of the spiders.  The jungle trekking was tiring and quite frightening. Some parts of the paths were steep and slippery.
      The part of the camp that I did not like was taking bath with cold water. It was so cold and I had to take the bath in a toilet.  Not like the nice bathroom at home.
      We made recycled paper and had other activities like bird watching, doing the blind trail.  I made some new friends.  That night we had to sleep in the dark because the generator broke down.  We all slept in a room with no walls.  The teachers slept on the tables and we slept on the floor.
      I want to thank the teachers for looking after me, cooking the meals and teaching us about nature and recycling.              21/10/2000
