OBS
Looks like this is my 1st post!!
1st Day
We took a boat to Ubin from Punggol Jetty. We were divided to 2 groups, BoSeng & EngSoon. I was in BoSeng. Nothing happened much . We just did the high element activities, belaying and so on. In the evening, we had 2 climb d logs thingy(i dunno wads it call). I partnered with Cheryl & guess wad? We almost reached the top, the highest among BoSeng!! hehehe. Dinner was rice with canned food. Our ric turned out to be something else and i had to take a bit of the other group's food. After that, we had to hike up to our sleeping area and it was super dark. I pity Vivien(she's my instructor btw). She had to hike down to the main campsite withouat a torchlight and she's a girl people!! Sleep was a disaster.Me, Zul, Hafiz & Sumi couldn't figure out how to pitch the tent!! Plus, Hafiz slept like a wildboar!! hahahahah. Seriously!! he sounded like 1 while he was sleeping.
2nd Day
Learn the basics of kayaking and capsizing. Partnered with Cheryl again. We packed our stuff and kayaked to campsite 3. So tiring and we took like 2hrs. When we reached campsite 3, we arranged our kayak, pitch our tent & wash up. The tapwater was reali brown!! Zul's towel turned from white to brown in an instant. So, we juz wipped ourselves & put like a gazillion tons of insect repellent coz the mozzies were biting us like nobody's business. Then, we had our dinner and it was damn filling. Maggie with mushrooms & hotdawgs. Ater we washed up, we had abreifing on tomorrows sea expedition back to campsite 1. Sentry duty 4 me was 2.30-3.30. Damn sleepy lah!!
3rd Day
We packed our stuff for the sea expedition. After we load our bags into the instructor's boat and took out our kayaks, we prepared ourselves for the long journey back to campsite 1, only prepared with 2 bottles of water and a pocketful of packet food. The journey was tough seeing that the current was against us & it was hot hot heat!! I got sunburn!! Gosh!! But, we all sang all the way to forget all the problems. We reached campsite 1 just in time before the rain poured down on us. At night, we had to hike to campsite 2. Plus, we had to do a night walk. I partnered with Hafiz so, its not so bad. it was only after Haizul(another one of our instructor) debrief &told us that we did walked pass a cemetery. Still, this didn't affect our spirits & i still managed to sleep well & we still couldn't pitch our tents properly.
4th day
I woke up from a good night's sleep(like finally). We washed up played a few games and had morning exercise. after that, we prepare ourselves for our hike. We had to go through 3 checkpoints. 1st checkpoint was to go to this german girl shrine. Me, Zul & Nurul navigated & we managed to reach dere on time. Our 2nd checkpoint was to go to the highest point in Ubin. The view was awesome. It overlooks the whole island & we had an excellent view of the quarry. The 3rd checkpoint was to go to the quarry and make a raft. After all the frustration, BoSeng's raft was d best & i enjoyed myself in the quarry as the water was sooo fine. We sang the whole way back and thought Shawn some malay. hahahah.
5th Day
It's the last day & I really am gonna miss it. I still want to be with the friends i've made during camp and gonna miss the fresh air. We had our commitment jump & it was cool. After we had our place cleaned up, we have some reflections and did some souvenier shopping. We took pictures & say our farewells. Shoutout to those who have the pictures, PLZ PASS THEM ARND!!
