my son is in 1j.


he said he didn't wash his body but only his hair on day 1 of the camp but managed to wash the whole body on day 2. guess what, he said he used the handheld bidet sprayer to shower. my eyes opened real wide when he said that...lol...

we thought they would be brought to the hostel to shower...

Yes, dd used the handheld sprayer to shower too. No choice lah, camping is like that, cannot be very clean, go home then have a proper scrub. :lol:

it is strange that such a big school does not have shower facilities :?

my son even said that the water pressure was v good so the sprayer works too.... i laughed because i had never thought that it can be used as a shower too....

your son is smart...can think on his feet and improvise

there are some shower facilities at sports hall and canteen toilets. but definitely not enough for 800 students at one go. anyway not practical for a school to have so many shower heads. such big scale events dont happen very often.

What's your DS's name? I'm HanChen, in the same class as him...

>> Yes there was absolutely no time to shower. Then they lambat and became off schedule then change the lights out to 10.30pm so even less time to shower. I basically threw my clothes off, sprayed water for 30 seconds, then put my clothes back on without drying cos there was no time and everybody was pestering me to go out. The girls' side were worse cos b/g ratio is 3:1 and the no. of toilets/cubicles are the same + girls' generally take a long time to shower. + there was no heater (nevermind that). Other than that it was enjoyable

Hi Snowman, the girls also didn't have more than 5 min to shower. The facilitators were banging on the doors and yelling at them to hurry up. So how to have a proper shower? :roll:

Camping is like that la... Haha. The kids will then know how pampered they are at home. They have to learn to adapt to environment and do with what is provided.
