back from atc!!!

left school around 1.45 on friday and after like 45 mins of bus ride, sec2 and 3 npcc people arrived at changi jetty. took the 2nd last boat to pulau ubin among us and after a 1 hour plus walk we finally arrived at Camp Resilience, accompanied by our new friend, the pulau ubin white dog followed us all the way into the campsite but the security guard use his hand-catapults to scare it away. sad doggie D:.

seperated into our groups. i tried very much to interact with other school people, cos i was the most sian nanhuarian when we left the school, but turned out i kinda enjoyed myself in the camp. my first 2 friends were some ACSI unit dudes who apparently cant do very much campcraft. :X. anyway took the time to try and teach them pitch a tent during tent-pitching time and they were really nice people. wahaha im sociable, not like the last year me when i was like anti-social in my camp group.

then dinner plus wash up. surprisingly they gave us 1 hour altogether for dinner AND wash up. thats like the longest given break ever to me in a camp :o. so of course, didnt really need so much time for the dinner and wash up. also didnt finish the nanhua-packed dinenr food cos had no appetite.

in the nigh, the usual bonding activities among the group members. and i realised i have jiahao and yuxuan look-a-likes in the group. for yuxuan it was the guy this guy speaked. for jiahao, it included how he looked lol. and then another amazing thing happened. another 20mins break omg lolololol. thats like zomgwtfbbq...... dam qiang. btw the camp was hosted by River Valley High. met the CI which was in charge of my group. hes a real nice guy. cant rmb his name (crap :X) but he was from the clementi town unit. anyway after that cant really remember what happen but by that time it was around 10.15?

then it was sleeping time. and again OMG SO EARLY? 10 PM SLEEP? LOLOLOL NP LEISURE CAMP. was real amazed that lights off time was so early. went to the far far far far away toilet to brush my teeth and when i came back and was all ready to sleep, nicholas was suddenly in my tent, all ready to sleep to. turned out his tent tio ant nest. ants crawling totally every inch of the tent. so he slept next to me with my other clementi town friend whom also shared the same tent with me last year. the dam cool thing about nicholas is when he sleeps, he can all of a sudden snore and all of a sudden stop. dam pro. and somehow the ants managed to crawl into my track pants while i was sleeping and i got ant bites all over my legs now :X

had sentry duty with sir jipeng. brought us one round around to check the gates. our group CI didnt turn up cos he had a headache :X so he came when we finished the sentry duty lol. so around 2, went back to sleep all the way till 6. woke up for PT.

the PT instructor speaks in a dam cool accent. how to put it.... he sounds gay, but you know he isnt gay, yea somethin like that. so ran like maybe 800m++? then continued on with our sets which included pumings, crunches( dont know how to spell), jumping jacks and smiley starjumps. we had to smile when we did the star jumps -.-

to side track abit,
jumping jack= jumping zhe yang , if you get what i mean :P

so anyway when breakfast ended around 8.45, we started out with the 3 main activities of the camp. it was on a rotatory thingy, where groups would switch activities with another group after some time. for my group it was first orienteering. easy shit lol midn you im a geography student lololol. oh yea forgot to mention that after refilling my 1.5 litre bottle in nanhua, i tried to keep as much water as possible every time i drank cos i didnt want to drink ubin-water, cos it tastes like crap. but after my orienterring i had no choice but to refill my bottle. the orienteering made me drink so much water, cos we had to walk like around half the island to reach our checkpoints :X

anyway next was lunch and then high ropes challenges. i got owned by this so-called lvl 2 thingy cos the instrcutor forced me to go for this 2nd one -.- in the end i got stuck halfway because i really really had no more arm strength left and if im not wrong im the 1 of 2 in the whole camp to get special treatment. i was lowered down to the ground, not like most others where when they had difficulties they would be sent back to the starting or ending point, depending on which was nearer.lolol i was caught in the middle :o. dam fun. i felt like some fire man thingy rofl. oh yea before that had this dark-undergounrd-maze thingy.was completely pitch black in the maze, except for the light entering at the entrance and exit points even though they were closed. and yes klinsen, thank you for the left hand theory about mazes, me and kianann got out of the maze uber fast.

then after that changed into wet attire and headed off for rafting. my groups raft was the most pathetic. before we could even put the raft in the water, it was already crooked, unlike others. anyway since i didnt want to get wet and considering that our raft would definietly sink, i became the supporter for the raft,whereby they tie this rope to the back of the raft and i was supposed to hold it in case anything happens on shore. lol slackslack.

so went back to out tents, i changed back into a new set of clothings finally after 2 days, ate only baked beans for dinner and it was campfire.

this year's campfire quite special, the emcess were sec3 people instead of the CIs. the sec2s also join in our campfire and they walked all the way to our campsite lololol. btw the sec2s and 3s camping areas although were within the same area was around 1km+ apart lol. sec2s dam sad.

so anyway, area commandant of area 16 started the campfire, sang the usual campfire songs, screwed up my camp group's impromptu performance and the campfire ended.
my new catch phrase form the performance rofl:
Release the birds.
They give good fortune.
More birds,
More luck
lololol. anywa this year's campfire's fire wasnt really very good, was a very weak fire and the fire was rather small. after debrief went back to sleep again. my CI incharge was very happy about our performance though , cos he felt that we performaed teamwork and hence managed to somehow smuggle 5 lightsticks from the rest of the CIs to give us. how nice lol.

nicholas was complaining about the various insects of our tent, while i told him there was only about 1 or 2 to me. then it struck me. nicholas was tanking all the ants for me on the first night lolololol. not bad, lucky he come sleep my tent. anyway before sleeping , kelvin,weiliat,junwee nicholas and i gathered at this concrete shed just outside my tent to talk cock lol. then went to enjoy my sleep cos i had no sentry duty and slept all the way from around 10.30- 5.20.

was awoken around 4.11 though, cos kelvin's tent was invaded with tents, and his tent mates and him had to be transferred to the canteen to sleep ( and to enjoy life -.-). so anyway he woke me up just to tell me to wake him up still even though he had changed his sleeping area -.- gaaa then went back to sleep.

then after that continued to sleep on till 5.20, then after that was awoken by the light drizzle outside, was super excited cos i wanted to feel how it was like to stay in a tent when the outside was raining. but the rain only drizzled awhile and the fun died down D:.

so after that was pt and breakfast again and then area cleaning. lol my group super slack, only had to pick up rubbish in the girls and gusy tentage areas, so after that my group went to help other groups. so after the cleaning of the whole campsite, the sec2 came to our camp area with their bags all ready for break camp. announced the best camper award, wooo amanda ang qiqi got the sec3 female best camper and then we left the campsite!!!! woooo! no more ubin-water!!

crapped with sir jiahao/edwin on the walk back to the jetty. reached school, changed, went mac, came home, play neopets and maple for awhile and here i am :D


bye.
