133th post!!
didnt post about the pulau ubin yesterday...
coz too tired
now on to the camp!!

1st day : kayaking!! nuuu

gather at school...
take more than 2 hours to board the bus??
our group, named alpha was so "lucky"
we get to kayak on the first day to ubin
bus ride...15 min!!!
reach pasir ris something....
nice resorts around
get briefing on kayak and all that
lunch was...rice with chicken...

dont know why,
but its weird that in camp
the food tastes sooooo good
u cant find the same taste elsewhere in spore!
or should i say mainland
had the water confidence test...
damn the seawater it ruined my tissue paper lol
the kayaking sux so bad..
coz at the end it took 4 hours to reach ubin
plus the stupid wind and waves that go against u
and the ships that need to pass through the channel...
by the time the ship passed..
u are already back to where u started

they gave us this year's camp shirt..

a long sleeve

with words behind written "resilence"

this camp's theme

overall...
kayaking sux!!
at the end ur arms get ache,
leg ache and back ache
imagine sitting in the same position 90 degrees for 4 hours....
and doing the same pulling action lol
we stopped at an island..
which is not ubin
and rested
then kayak more to ubin
then pack all the stuff...
dinner...the fish rocks!!
as i said camp food really rocks
alot of ppl also find the fish so nice
they write in the EV form comments on food:
the fish rocks

our instructors....wan and ruth
aka under one roof lol
not bad actually
then we got to know more about ubin...
hmmm the toilet from the campsite is....
damn long
its like 1.5km??
worse of all u cant bath throughout the 3 days
water too dirty, and there's only one tap
blah skip all the details...
at night we settle the tents get to sleep
i slept in a 6-man tent!!
very unique coz the others get to sleep in a 4-man tent
whats good also is that there are only 3 ppl sleeping in the tent!
woo~
1st day end
zomg i only reached 1st day and i wrote alot

2nd day: mtb......not bad...sux too

did i mention that its very hard to see at night?
no wonder they asked us to bring torchlights
with all the wild animals there..
dogs cats luckily no wild boars around the area!!
its dangerous without any light

breakfast...
some noodles with chilli with hotdog
again damn nice but not filling
went to the so called basketball court which was demolished
but still called a basketball court
and we got our bikes
then got sabo-ed
and rode a tendom bike
first time riding a tendom bike...
here are the details!


-its heavy!!
-double the power! but double weight too
-hard to steer, countersteer
-stabilty not good lol
-let go of the steering and u'll fall

oh and u cant bunnyhop with it too
about the mountain biking...
it should be named trekking instead
coz the amount of riding we did..
its less than the walking itself...
the trainers keep asking us to get off our bikes
and push them downhill uphill
and the stupid thing is....
the gradient wasnt that steep
and its not like its so dangerous
really, draw a tangent and measure lol
mx+c
then there's this very steep uphill
they ask us to ride it up
then after that there's a very gentle downhill
they ask us to push it down...

went back to campsite for a break
and got a water shortage
waited for 2 hours for water to be resupplied...
and lunch...
k i wont keep saying its nice
but this is the best of all meals in the entire camp lol
curry rice with chicken with pineapple and banana as fruit!
then went mtb back again
shall skip the details...
coz its basically the same thing
too bad they dont allow handphones or cameras....
coz the view was magnificent

at night.....
dinner time
fish again but its different
i realise i havent talk about the cheers...
well...
lets say some of them are better than sec 2 camp!
after dinner we got this campfire thing
which wasn't really planned at all
we practiced the cheers for performace...
but at last minute the trainer got pissed...
by 3g
and begin the vulgarities and storming of campfire lol
so in the end we didnt have campfire..
and we can hear the other group, bravo
having fun with their campfire
that night alot of ppl cant sleep??


3rd day : last day....and trekking?!

morning woke up early
last night the trainers were so pissed..
they said they dont care about us anymore
and can wake up anytime u want
but we all woke up at normal time
breakfast was...
nasi lemak
still good
we packed our stuff then head on to trekking

we went...
to this query
actually the trekking is exactly like the cycling...
minus the bikes
saw again nice views of the island
after trekking we went back to campsite...
burning like legacy
very hot
everyone got sunburns but strangly..
i only got minor burnt on my neck and i wasnt wearing sunblock
then we got snacks....
sugar crackers and cream crackers!
it was like finally
after not tasting sugar for 3 days
we finally got sugar!
then we board the ship and head on to sch

sec 2 was too slack
this camp really pushed ppl to the limit!
