finally!! back to civilisation!! hahas... air-con, soft bed, hot water, the com and my beloved handphone!! =D i love it.
thank God for the protection and good weather He provided...
well, came back from sec 3 camp today and unpacked everything, bathed and plonked onto the bed and slept! until i had to wake up to go for tuition... =( camp was GREAT!! i got sunburnt though... and of all places, it was my nose!! so i went about with a red nose!! everyone went rudolf the red nose reindeer!! -.-'''
well, campsite was at changi which had a drawback. there were planes constantly taking off!! even through the night! on the first night, i was suddenly awaken by a very LOUD taking off. i was jolted awake and the first thought that came to my mind was... "oh no! the plane is about to crash!" so i shut my eyes and waited for my death. crazy as it seems, i really thought about that!! hahas... well, it was 4 a.m. in the morning!! couldnt think right...
so the brief overview of the camp...
*1st day*
arrived at campsite and got settled in our bunks. proceeded for first activity. belay school. then had the challenge rope course. we had to walk over the the log in the air. i am sure everyone has done that. but being me, *extremely afraid of heights* i clung to the pole for a very long tiime. =) hehe.
we then had absailing... woohoo!! i loved this!! when i went up, i made the mistake of looking down. i saw how high i was and i started shaking. i was shaking so bad the instructor had to grip me. lol. when i finally was ready to go, i shut my eyes and went down. s...l...o...w...l...y...
fast forward to night trust walk.
it was like so dark!!! we clung on to each other... as in the 21 girls!! and six of us, vera, cherie foo, tze kei, daen, vril and i sang... the instructors kept asking us to shut up... =X meanies.
*2nd day*
had map/compass reading. we were last ALL the way until the last station where we caught up to come in second place. we go girls!! glad that you guys didnt give up!!!
after lunch we had canoeing!! it was fun!! though avril and i kept going in circles!! hahas. erpp. and i got wet coutesy of wan ting and insturctor sam. eww. salty water means salty me.
we then had knots and lashing cum raft building. after building our raft, 4 of us had to go test it out. out we went in an extremely awkward position... you should have seen us!! we took turns falling arnd!! first was carmen, than me, than tze kei and lastly vera. we were all laughing so hard cuz no matter how hard we rowed, we just kept moving backwards!
lastly, campfire!! the emcee was kind of gay but he made it so fun. we enjoyed ourselves!!
