wow. finally back from the 5 days 4 night camp. extremely fun but tiring. going into some details.

FIRST DAY
took my dad's car to hua yi. also drove qing xi and yi ren there too. then set off to kota tinggi. the trip was quite long. but listened to music so was quite okay.

reached there, seperated into groups. my group instructor were jit(very tall, 185cm) and jie yi, quite friendly and nice. i went group 8 with wei jie, roy, zi yin, clara and zhe xian. then had some ice-breaker and bonding games. our grup had to balance ourselves on this 'sea-saw'. though we only managed 5 seconds while group 7 managed 6 seconds, i still think both groups did a great job. then went to bath and eat.

SECOND DAY
went for kayaking. had to be in mixed groups of threes so teamed with melissa and hweemin. the instructor said in total, we rowed 4km. and when we reached the checkpoint, we had to stand up on our kayaks. abit unbalanced but didnt fall. good teamwork with the guy next to me, i think his name is cheng boon? i dunno. but i know hes from 2E1 last year. kayak whole day so got a sun burn and pretty tanned. but yi ren was like a red lobster.

THIRD DAY
went for high elements + water activities. first, went for indiana jones. only went onto the board for one time. the rest was watching the others. firdouse and crystal held on very long on the board. end up, we didnt complete it. then went for high elements. only did absailing then went to the flying fox there and slack and ate apples whole day. yi ren was up to his usual business -.-
then went for jetty jump, jumped in, sang some songs, played some games. then started talking to crystal and jocelyn with zhe xian and roy. also made quite good friends with queenie and hanson.

FOURTH DAY
got ready for trekking and left and about 10am. the group morale was quite good. singing some songs till we reached cheknpoint 1 where we all stopped singing. then from checkpoint 2 onwards, was walking with zhe xian and helping some people too. zhe xian got a leech even before he reached checkpoint 3. thats fast... then chatted with other people too.

finally reached checkpoint 4, then had to climb the vertical wall. volunteered to help the others get up first. then was the 2nd last to go up. by the time i reached the summit, it started to rain, then they were rushing me to eat faster. ate then packed up. was one of the first to went down the vertical wall and it started to rain halfway. went down and helped clara and wei jie navigate. reached down and had to wait under the rain for everyone to climb down. i guess everyone was moving very slow due to the heavy rain.

then started walking back. it was about 7+ when we finally started moving. luckily a few instructors came from base camp and led us cause the sun was starting to set. forgot to bring my torchlight cause i didnt expect that we had to return in the dark. walked and walked, and we were trying to hurry and get our way out. when reached about checkpoint 2-3 it was dark already so it was hard to see, and the instructors distributed about 20 torches but didnt get one. so the rest of the trip, i was holding on the queenie's bag and i stepped into holes filled with rain alot of times. but it was really dark, so couldn't be blamed.

then we finally reached base camp at about 9.50, according to mr razak. the teachers were standing outside clapping for us. then went for hot milo at the reception and went for dinner. ate up, and went to bath. changed into camp t-shirt and went for campfire. most of the groups performed already then it was out turn. performed a short skid and went back. also watched some acts from the instructors. especially ivan's magic trick, and 'nobody' dance moves. glad that we finished trekking the panti mountain. most fruitful activity of the 4 days.

FIFTH DAY
woke up, packed our stuffs and went to canteen for breakfast. last day at camp, kinda sad to leave, but also happy that can go back go urban living. then had time for photo taking and chatting. joon kiat told me that the groups back at base camp were cheering for us whenever we made it to a checkpoint. sounded quite touching to me. giving us support while we made it out. then said goodbyes to our instructors and went onto the bus. i couldn't find my white card in the passport, but in the end, it was found. reached hua yi finally, at about 2+. went to mac for lunch, then took cab with jun jie, qing xi, and ellene. went to jj house, qx house, ellene's house then finally mine. reached home and went to rest.

after these 5 days, i think we all gained alot of experience, and lost alot of weight too at the trekking. everyone's probably tired from trekking and kayaking, which were the most fun activities in my opinion. really fun, bonded and made new friends from othe classes, and not to mention my own class. i guess i'll be stopping here then.
