BEDS!!!!!lol... and the toilets werent in the middle of the jungle either... ok... maybe when we went camping it was in the bushes or the drain or the sea... but at the bunk? YAY!!!!....lol.... ok... lemme do a run through of every single day...
Day 1
We had to report to school at bout 7:30am... which as usual... i m the earliest to reach... so we all reach the time... then we left... the school provide bus for us lar... to punggol jetty...so we waited in the sun for the boat to bring us there... meanwhile... because very hot right? i cant rmb y... but i lent jack my sunglasses to try... then zuxin said very punkish...lol... i suck in sunglasses ok? so dun ask me how i looked in it... then when we reach... we had to surrender all our distractions electronic devices... waa.... missed my handphone... we oso hv to surrender out wallet... already missing my $$$...LOL.... anyways... we were sorted out to our watches... i was in barker... LOL... cant rmb hu in history was called barker anyway... so.... we met our first instructor (Bibiana) ... everyone is suppose to hv one instructor throughout... but u'll see y i hv first in bold... so we went for kayaking lessons... so we were naturally in the water... so we were halfway going through TX boat rescue... when... =looks traumatized= bibiana got stung by a stingray... in really shallow waters... like... 1 feet deep? ok... not tat stingrays go really deep... so it was like in her foot... so when she got stung... it was like... "EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WATER NOW!!!!" so we all got out... n we were wondering wat happened...(we din noe wat happened then...) so she started radioing for help... then we had to like get out of the water and go back to the kayak sheds while waiting for more instructions... feelings? girls were traumatized... n guys were like... umm.... roy was traumatized... the rest of us were speculating wat attacked bibiana... some said it was someone threw a rock... n hit her...=X... n some said... they saw jellyfish... then someone said flatfish... i mean... HELLO!!!! flatfish do not sting, bite, or attack humans... LOL... anyway... we were asked to stay there... then we had to wait for a new instructor... therefore... our second instructor.... which was a guy called wee hoa.... he started to go through with us our TX boat rescue... not b4 he asked us wat we hv learnt... which was like at least 2 ppl hv asked us b4 he asked us...=rolls eyes= anyway... so we went through the rescue... then as we weregoing through... they brought bibiana in a wheelchair to get onto a boat to get back to the main island... so we did our rescue... ok... we rescued our partner... so it like... ok... when we rescued them... then it was time to rescue perry n i... but i think our boat was too full of water... so perry was like cursing newton's 3 laws... so we somehow managed to get recued... so we got on... then we were told that conrad n roy's kayak was capsized 5 times!!! then roy kept singing "you're beautiful" n conrad was like... " i completely gv up on roy... i m so gonna totally swim back to shore if we capsize again..." then we went back when everyone was saved... then we had dinner... which i had to say... WAS NOT A DISSAPOINTMENT!!!! yay... we had caterers... ie... a foodhouse.... sort of like a canteen... minus the $$$... all we paid b4... but i think the attitude of the caterers SUCK!!! big time... shant tell u y.... ok... then we went to the multi purpose hall(mph) where we had a talk on safety... which somehow we got on the topic of stingrays(we had pretty much confirmed it was stingrays by then...) so we went back to the bunks after tat... where we prepared for the next day n went to sleep at 11pm... their rule... not ours... anyways... ding, conrad, perry n i shared one room... the girls shared one... n the rest of they guys shared another... so we went to sleep...
Day 2

LOL.... cos roy kept singing lonely by akon... n it was like... damn freaking sickening n cold( i hope it was the wind... cant imagine a guys singing to be tat cold)... so i went back to sleep... with the blanket on cos it was freezing... imagine tat.. no aircon... oonly fan n natural breeze n yet it was COLD?! ok... maybe cos it was night... so at 4:30 am... roy sang "your'e beautiful" ... again... this time... i was so fed up... i dun bother to wake up... so i jus slept on... n i woke up then went for morning PT... where it wasnt so much of PT... dunno y they called it tat... anyway... after tat... we were introduced to our third instructor called chew yien... cos our 2nd one got bitten by a centipede in his sleep... na... cos he got course on thurs n fri... so on our first day with our new instructor... we learnt belaying... was damn fun!!! i lurv heights!!! so i went first... while i think kim belayed, sam anchored n perry assis belayed me... so i went up up up up up... ok.. .i exxagarated... so then when we reach only bout 2 metres up... we had to come down... cos it was practise so i was let down... no problem... kim, no problem... when belaying sam? ok... as sam was coming down... perry was belaying n i was anchoring... so the combined weight of perry n i cudnt cover sam's weight... it was like OMG perry was flying!!! ok... i was oso flying a little... had a little help from kim to get back on track if not both of us can say hi to martians.... so it was like we had lunch... then we had to get to belaying damn high up... on the inverse tower... but we lost a whole lot of things... so...waaaaaaa.... i got no time to go up the inverse tower... which was i think damn freaking fun lor... so darn high... i wanna go up!!!! no fair!!! sucks to all hu did!!! lol... then we hhad land expedition!!!! ok... not tat its fun... tats y all the !!! but cos it was umm... our first expedition? ok lar... we walked all the way to i think near the tip of the island... where we camped overnight... it was so damn freaking stupid the trekking... we had nav for nothing ( no offense to nicholas and perry) but it was like... we jus followed the ppl in front...tats all... n then we heard bout wild boars on the way to the camping site... which we din see... :( but the other groups saw... no fair... anyway... reach there... it was like the guys n girls switch roles... the guys cooked while the girls set up the umm... brashas... no tents... only brashas... ok lar... not all girls lar... me perry ding nicholas n i think one or 2 more guys cooked... while the others tented... so we cooked... nicholas did the rice... n nicholas...
