day one:
was first aid i/c. manns, have to carry the first aid box everywhere. played some fun get to know each other better games. got to know each other better.some people like nat and lianghuo came to obs to skip school. hahaha. good reason sia.took a group photo after that. had to pack the stall room and arrange the food rations and all this stuffs. went for kayaking training. kayaked to swarmpy areas. had to do capsising drill there. the mud there was really soft though its able to stand. kind of u will sink in.after the drill, we put all the kayaks back. the heavy heavy kayaks. was supposed to do jetty jump. but din managed to, short of time. i really wanted to do it. the word jetty jump sounded so fun.aryas, but so sad.went to wash up after, cook food, start fire so we can get started on cooking, some people went to cook and some when to pitch tents.i went to help start the fire.the easier job.so slack manns.coulnt find my fork and spoon that night for dinner. dunno where it disappeared to. shared it with aishah. ate some rice with sausages, peanuts and beans in tomato sauce. okay lahs, not bad. slept with aishah, tracy and sakina.
dy two:
woke up, had to unpitch tents. wash up, shuai ya.hahaha. din brush teeth the night before cos lasy to go down to where our bags are after dinner as our sleeping area was on the hill, had to climb up so many flight of stairs to reach the top. when u reach there, u will start panting. its that tiring. went for belaying course and trust sheet. trust sheet was really fun, u had to hold this orange sheet tightly, i mean the whole group and a person will fall on it. u had to trust ur group members to hold you and not drop you. hahaha. and i was the lightest. hee.. belaying course was really boringggg.. but cant complain. had lots of mosquitos in that area as well. adter that course, we had to pack our stuffs to move to another campsite for 3 days and 2 nights. it was the land expedition, 4 hrs of hiking witha auper dupa heavy bag, 10 times heavier thn my normal bag i brought to pack all my stuffs in. the bag itself without any stuffs is so heavy already , so imagine putting lots of stuffs inside.and see my size. ahahaha.but endurance. we reached the place.it was almost dark when we pitche dour tents. barely 7 and its so dark like midnight. was raining cats and dogs so we had to cook under ponchos cos thats the only waterproof thing. ate good maggie mee. was the unluckiest night ever. our tent was soaking wet and couldnt sleep. how to sleep in a soaking wet tent?! hahaha.our tent collapsed 3 times. once when we were sleeping. sakina sacrifice her towel so that our tent would be dry. thks girl. another one was when we were sleeping and wild dogs could be heard. dont think they are nearby. and we actually pitched our tent directly under an ants's nest. red ants!! no wonder morning, i had so many holes and keep finding ants on my leg. ohh.. my poor leg.hahaha. din have proper toilets. had to dig hole in the ground and do ur buisness there. hahaha.
day three:
the fun part.
cross expedition kayaking. that was the best of the best of the best. 8 full hrs of kayaking non-stop. instructor melissa told me that i would never want to kayak again after that trip, but its the opposite, i want to kayak somore. not many people get to kayak that long okay.a really really amazing experience. felt like giving up half-way. the trainig was really tough.i was not physically fit.
ENDURANCE. my favourite word. if not for what melissa said , i dont know who to carry on. this is what she said:" if not you, then who? if not now then when? if its not a challenge, its not meant for you." haha. so encouraging its'nt it? well, i finished my race in the end. God really gave me the strength to carry on.im so glad for that. there we lots of challenges on the way. everybody had to go through and bring their kayak above this muddy muddy check point. the mud will sink ur feet deep. luckily i was wearing those diving or swimming shoes. they were light so its easy to walk on mud. was the cleanest when i went up the hill, until everyone started hugging me with their so so so dirty and muddy body. the kayking area at that really muddy area was so hard. keep getting trapped into mud.the kayak i mean.had to look out for branches when our kayak hit the corner of the muddy swarmp. till some area, when some kayaks were waiting to cross the bridge, we had a cruel mud fight. haha, there jia ling got the title of mud princess. everybody aimed her! and i was the next target cos i was so clean. anyway, good skin complexion after all, got really really mud up. my hair wascovered in one layer of mud. dye hair for free. brown some more. melissa was so clean. i hugged her and gave her a small mud shower.haha. went to clean up in the river after. once we were out of the muddy areas. ahhhh.. the deep blue sea or ocean. so nice, so deep, so no crocdiles and sharks. hahahaha. love that area. no obstacles. so can kayak faster. darren was the leader. me and my kayak parthner were like right and the back, but we performed some magic, we were all the way in front where darren was. amazing arh? saw jelly fish, big ones. so nice!! at last, after sucha long journey we reached camp one. the residential campsite. we were actually in staying in camp two, mobile course. but mobile's better though we had to move every single day, pitching and unpitching tents. more challenging. once we reached there, had to clean the kayaks , like cleaning dolphins. had big waves, some people fell into danger zone where the rocks are. need seek medical help. some people cuts were really deep. sharp rocks!! beware!! after that, went straight to pitch tents at the sea side. really really super cold! shared campsite with the amundsen. din cook enough food, had to take some of the admundsen's food. they were so nice, gave us food. thanks guys! darren was really helpful!! helped to make one of the girl's tents properly. not my tent, my tent very neat!!!! hahahaha.i had this laughing sickness that night. dunno what got into me. saw this huge stone and i suddenly burst out laught for almost the whole night. daniel was so scared of me cos i was laughing so crazily. anyway, it really was a enjoyable night! :)
day four:
high elements.
climbed this really really tall thing. me and ginger were the first two to climb.din reached the top. ginger backed out halfway and i had to wait up there for so long, windy like siao. the whole thing was shaking. all i was on was a log. nothing to hold except the log.after awhile nat joined me up there. and we reached the top. climbed the thing again. was so fun. vanessa and aishah went up as well, aishah gave up halfway, poor vanessa was stuck up there alone. heehee.. begged mel to let me go again. and i went again. was super fun can. went to pack our bags straight after. headed back to camp two. hike for like 20mins. quite a tough journey , uphill one. finally, we reached!!! yeahh! camp and enjoyed stay for the last night. before that was dinner. the best dinner i had so far. as in some people cook, some people play around and i was the ones playing around.and stupid spiderman keep lighting the match in front of me. so freaking. almost light me on fire. ahaha. yah, and he look really like silas. we keep playing like siao. run here run there like small little kids til dinner is ready. hahaha. enjoyed my last night though. din really slept well.keep waking up in the middle of the night, look at my watch, ahhh... so early so went back to sleep and thn wake up again. hahaha.
