I really really wish there's someone who can really understand... just feel helpless at times...
Aniwae...
Since im at it i should make it a long post.
CCAL camp!
Monday! Took the ferry to bintan, the ferry was nice... actually thought it would be the same kind of ulu boat tt took us to OBS... but started getting abit seasick... got a slight headache... but got better when i got off...
Wakatobi was first! Deby was our facilitator.. At some parts of the darn jungle cud see like hundreds (wanted to say thousands but tot it's abit exaggerated) of mosquitoes flying around like wad the heck... started raining halfway... so walked back to camp in the rain... n den there was the stretcher thing zzz
Amazing Race was next. The facilitator was wenhao, found out later tt he's jx's classmate loll quite funni... halfway thru the activitiy everyone in the group just went crazy n almost everyone cudn't stop laughing lolll
Went back pitched tent, cooked for ourselves and slept. First night was cool... slept quite well actually... BUT omg.. the mosquitoes + sandflies came althou i like spammed myself with repellent already... the bite on my toes were ultra irritating.. for some reason those bites were more itchy...
Tuesday! First thing Kayaking! Woohoo... sad thing was it was quite short zzz but still fun! Was wif harold at first n den janelle later. Too bad we cudn't see dolphins or stingrays... but still fun! The sea is just cool.. cept for the fact tt it's salty...
Den while having lunch it started to rain really heavily... so like the entire group 1 stayed at quite a small shelter... and the rain was so heavy tt it was splashing in from like every direction zzz felt quite sleepy n everything...
Next was low elements. Quite cool the activities hahaa... and we made the "river of life" with sand and harold's "values and *cough*" thing hahaa
By the end of low elements i was feeling really dirty and yucky... bathed before going for dinner and campfire... dinner was a mass BBQ thing, and campfire was cool but i cudnt enjoy it fully cuz i had a stomachache!!! So wasnt feeling really comfortable during the campfire... still hahaa the pickup lines and funny performances... oya... after group 1's 'performance' most of us wanted to hide our faces lolll den there was the symbolic candles thing... cool... n so the campfire ended n we went back to our tents... which was wet wth... others had the same problem too... so shih ee ended up sleeping in another tent and the remaining 5 of us managed to get into so-so sleeping positions... n the night passed haha!
Wed! Most of us woke up early cept for li jian... den we were like ultra happy tt the night was over... so we packed the tent like right after we brush our teeth n everything to get rid of tt dam tent... so we were like the first group tt got our tents packed hahaa
Den was rafting.. the last activitiy... quite cool too... but it was really really hot... learnt a few useful skills hahaa like tying knots... den our raft went out to sea! Oya harold owes us fish&co cuz our raft did not capsize heheee took quite some effort to make our raft move but we made it!
Yah n so that was the camp!
Group 1D: Weejin, Hong Jie, Shih Ee, Harold, Li Jian, Grace Thiam, Jiawen, Genevieve, Sarah Chua (was sick so cudn't go for the camp..) and me! We rule man... really had fun during some of the activities... teacher ic was mr chua... some of the stuff he said were really thought provoking... learnt quite alot from the camp... made new friends n everything...
Many many sandflies/mosquitoes bites everywhere, 3 different shades of skin colour on my leg, the night in the wet tent... but it was all worthwhile... the experience is irreplacable...
-----------------------------------
Okae next thing todae had the bio lifescience cluster workshop for secondary school students... really din wana wake up this morning cuz i tot it wud be a boring n sienz day... but it turned out to be quite fun hahaa... got to noe some new people also... n halfway thru the workshop the teacher told all student facilitators to go to the nxt lab to do our reflections... n the purpose of tt was to let the participants of the workshop pen down their appreciation to the facilitators hahaa... tt was nice! Thanks Ko Chee, Erwin, Yue Ning, Stephanie n Kartika! (thou doubt they'll be reading this) Yah so... it was quite an enriching experience!
