last day were really a laze day. we pratically did nothing. we were just clean up the site. we were divided into group and my group were appointed to clean the canteen. and we did nothing much because the canteen was clean.and we pack our bags and clean up the house. after that we clean up ourselves, some of the students including me we still playing in the lake. after that i took my bath at the toilet and i was the very last person to get ready. almost get scolded haha. and then we took group photo before going back and arrived at school around 2130 hours.

i've learnt few thing from this camp:

- how to cut the fish (thanks to syukri)

- wash my hair in the sink.

- you can do it as long as you're willing to do it.

this would be probably the last camping for me as a school student. i had fun at the camp.
