finally back from ltc!!! to put it in (real) short, the 4 days were fine, tiring, interesting,
boring, fun, exciting, etc altogether. was in group 4. we're called the 4sil!!! supposed to be fossil, actually. hmm. i'll say roughly what happened during the camp.
4sil's team members (order of remembrance):
amira + hui shi + shawn + shi hui + wu ming + imran + xue jing + marckus + min yew + wei jie + xin rong + christine + ridzuan + me.
first day:
took a taxi to school. but i had to take the sleeping bag from steffi first since i lost it. x( yeah. the reason i took taxi is: there's no way i'm using a bus while carrying such a huge bag! then left at 8 for kota tinggi. took abt 2 - 3 hrs. i think. luckily lele's in my buddy grp (grp 3), so we were able to sit together! haha. if not i'd be damn bored la. there were hardly anyone i knew.
then we had lunch [all the food there are so nice!!! MUCH better compared to the NE camp!!!] and pitched our tent. just by using rope. tt's all. [shared the one tent with 5 other ppl from my grp] then we had a few activities. uh-huh. and campfire for the last activity. yup, campfire on the first day. o_o" dinner, then lights off.
second day:
woke up at 5:45. didn't want to be late. yeah. had morning calisthenics [i hate push-ups!!!] then went for breakfast. then it was the climbing of mt. panti!!! gawds, i was so freaking tired [still am]. my legs couldn't take it anymore. had breathing difficulties. yes, i know it's "mind over matter". i pushed myself, but i just needed to rest for a bit. i was already half-way up anyway. anyways, with the support of the instructors [chief camp abbe, aniq and andrea] and other grp members, i was able to make it there without waiting for the next group. i'm weak and my stamina sucks, remember? special thanks to
hui shi and
amira for all their help and support! [i know it sounds corny and all, but truthfully, that's how i felt. =x] had lunch at the summit of the mountain and then we reached the bottom again *just* before the rain started falling. phew. oh yeah. the mountain's at least 500m tall. [d-uh! 499m and it'd be called a hill already.] 514m i think. or 541. forgot la. took 2 hrs to climb it.
after dinner, it was solo night. new instructors were introduced. then suddenly 2 guys started quarreling.[and tt's when the 'play' began. read abt it below.] in the forest. partnered up with leonie. phew. not really scary since everyone's not so far apart, but there were lots of insects. i woke up with a swollen lower lip. [it's still swollen a bit now. T_T feels funny feeling the swell against my upper lip.] had at least 3 leech bites [2 fang marks in each bite, right?], without even knowing it. only knew about them this morning when i took out my *socks*. "wonderful." i was only scared i'd fall down or something while walking since torchlights weren't allowed. oh yeah. the stars were pretty!!! lots of them! just above us too. cool. now if only i'd remembered all the constellations. haha.
third day:
the instructors woke us up at abt 4:20. still sleepy! we straight away returned to our tents and slept. till abt 6:30 when the teachers suddenly woke us up. yup. the play's started. 3 screams were heard by some people [unfortunately not me. was too in a deep sleep.] coming from the girls' toilet. then we had to go to the canteen. the aura was all serious. guess what happened. a murder occured. [yeah right!] one of the guys who fought the day before 'died'. the 'police' were called, and it was announced that the campsite's on real high alert. [it's supposed to be a CSI play for us as a part of our activity.] i thought the murder was real. dang. it was after many clues that it's obvious that that was a set up:
1. the line used to surround the murder scene isn't a police line. -.-" just those red and white plastic used in construction sites.
2. all of the 'policemen' happened to be an ex-assumptionite. -.-"
3. activity still continued on even when the camp site's still on high alert. -.-" morning calisthenics. -.-"
4. there were "blood stains" on miss siti's shirt. -.-"
and many other clues. -.-" nvm abt this. continue on: after this play thing, it was raft building. our group and group 3 ended up last. haha. nvm. at least we had fun. i ended up not rafting too. 1, cause it was already so late that we were late for omega night. 2, cause in the first place i was too 'achy' to be playing. body aches everywhere. [cause of the tracking and solo night (slept on the rocky ground).] so i'm kinda glad i didn't need to go. xP before omega night, we were sent to our resort rooms. (air con!!!) i was the keyholder. during omega night, we were given the certificates. yup. and the "murderer" was revealed. it was afizul. d-uh! motive: love triangle thing. sooo expected. haha. the advantages of reading higher standard murders in detective conan... hohoho. then we slept in that comfortable bed but hard pillow. lols. was in the same room as amira, xue jing, shi hui and xin rong.
fourth day:
that's today. the last day. had morning calisthenics again, and breakfast in the restaurant. then it was restoration operation. only needed to clean up the campfire site. haha. then aniq tried to cheat the others and we went to walk around while "picking up litters" when we were actually just playing and escaping the help required for other team's cleaning.cool. haha. then we went to multi purpose hall for debriefing and all. left the place at 12+.
anyways. my mum already went to school yesterday to see which class i'll go to next year: sec 3/1, with bio. now i'm stressed on whether i'll be able to manage my studies next year. @_!!
and yeah. here's an award from
ersalina to me for completing a puzzle in her site. x)
[heh. i took at least an hour to write these up. started at 17:04, finished at 18:20. lols.]
