3/25/2009 02:27:00 pm
Woohoo! Back at last! yeah i know it's like few days ago already.. But still, I'll post about what happen during the camp! ^^Day 1went to school around 7+ in the morning. We Had all the logistic took out from the den and distrubuted equally to each patrols. lols my patrol is _______.. Only me and Clarence were there. And in front of us we had lots and lots and LOTS of can food and tent.. Then both of us had no choice but to squeeze as much as we can first. My bag is big and i only fill it up not more then half of the bag. And you know what? Another half of my bag were stuffed with can food. Then after all the squeezing, whoa. Try carrying my bag and you'll have no idea how heavy it was. I have to bend my whole body down so that i could walk. Later on chengyong and ivan came. Ropes and some more can food were all stuffed into their bags. After this, we headed for the jetty.Cub scouts then later on were separated into our patrols. We've got 5 cubs. When we reached Pulau Ubin, we hiked to mamam beach. That's where our campsite is. Along the hike, wah! "Swarms" of mosquito came sticking to your legs and arms. It's like a frenzy feast to them. lol... reached the campsite and pitched our tent. Had some activities after that. At around 7+ pm we had our dinner. Our own pit were set up and burned thick woods. Here comes the part where i Almost die. I brought the Cub scouts to wash their utensils. Along the way, one of the cub scouts's utensils fell down a "mini rocky clif" that leads to the sea. He wanted to go retrieve it, but i stopped him cause it's dangerous. It's so dark that you can't see anything. Then i went down to help him pick up his utensils. Little did i know that it's slippery and so i slipped. I slide down the rocky edges and down to the most bottom. Half of my body fell into the water. Lucky I grabbed onto the rocks before i fully fell into the water. Then Clarence pulled me up. I had cuts on my elbow and some other places on my leg. I was bleeding... All thanks to the first aid kit that i brought, managed to stop the bleeding. They sure heal fast!Day 2Woke up around 7+am. Gosh the morning scenery is beautiful! Took some pictures with my handphone but too bad, i can't transfer them to my computer. Soon after we woke, we headed on with Physical Training. We ran up the slope and down and up. Did a little up sit-ups and pumpings. After that is breakfast. After breakfast the cub scouts went to Chek Jawa while the sec ones went for their orientation lesson. They learnt how to find bearings and blahblah. More then what geography textbooks have to offer ^^. So the seniors had nothing to do. I slept under the sun while waiting for them. It was real sunny and i was perspiring. I took my sleeping bag and used it to cover my eyes. lol... When I woke up, Geezes! I had no idea why but i just suddenly fell sick! I was dizzy, everything around me is swirlling. Then I puke. All the breakfast in my stomach came out. I somehow managed to walk back to the tents and slept again. When i woke up this time, lunch is already well prepared by clarence and ivan. So i took some bites. Then followed the sec ones for their Orientation test. For each patrol, one sec 2 had to follow their sec ones for this test. As i was the only Sec 2 in my patrol, I had to follow the Sec ones even though I just got better. Night falls and we had our campfire. I really enjoyed myself during this campfire. We sang and danced. Then the skits are very funny! My patrol's skit is how the school song was founded. I acted the principle. Then the school song was actually from a beggar that sings to earn money. Very funny :D The other patrols did well too! Especially Woodpecker patrol. They did the Sleeping beauty skit. Even though it's one that everyone knows, but they managed to act it out in a funny manner. Then after the campfire, lights out! Intead of sleeping like the other patrols, i went for sentry duty. All we did is just sit there and stare blankly. The stars are nice there. You can actually see then glowing brightly. This is rare in Singapore, a City that is poluted with lights. Day 3Same thing. Had PT and breakfast. After Breakfast, Break camp! But still, we had to stay until 4pm then we can proceed back to Singapore. So meanwhile, we took down the tents and kept all our logistic. The excess can food, we threw them away into the bins. Great! My bag is much lighter the before! Chengyong helped us to keep the logistic and went home earlier due to some reasons. So now It's just me, One senior for Kingfisher. I became the acting Patrol Leader for kingfisher. So I lead them through the games yeah, had all the stuffs needed to be done. The time finally came for us to leave our campsite. Just as we were about to start hiking back to the jetty, rain came pouring down! All of us had no choice but to hike under the rain. Back to Singapore and met up with df at Jurong Point. Went to had long John Silver! 's been 3 days since i had nice food. Yum!Pulau Ubin is simply marvelous, especially the scenary and the night sky. It's just those mosquito that aren't so nice. Lol ^^
