{23/11/09}

Admundsen, group name, lol forgot who he is alr(edit: first man to reach the south pole). got 2 instructors, one of them quite cool, jokez ard and tell lame jokes. screwed up our watch charter or values, we have like "damn sexy" somewhere in between, so can see -.-
lunch was sianz, it looks very little but is actually a lot, though it sux zzz. after lunch we were behind every1 alr, and it stayed this way till night(edit: and apparently the next few days). recaped belaying and got other crap.
pitched tents and cooked dinner, dinner pwns, as compared to lunch. hav rice, lunch was biscuits, which we all hated by now. went to shower and forgot to bring towel lolol, had to borrow. packed for sea expedition tmr, gonna brush teeth and sleep.

{25/11/09}
[Writing this in complete darkness, sure cannot read this ltr. my hand also screwed, ytd grip paddle too hard, at least thats what instructor said.(edit: my hand was swelling, and the paddle was for kayaks)
ok talk abt ytd first, woke up, damn cold, packed stuff and went kayak practice. yr 1 crap all forot alr. somehow I always get a defective paddle, and ppl kept joking ard. (edit:"He's arm is so powerful that he bent his paddle again." - Samuel) paddled and did capsize drills went out for "sea expdedition" int the afternoon, freggin gay, suspose rwo to punggol RC and it was against the tide, reached only at 7+(edit: dying alr still have to go pull the other kayaks(and the ppl inside) up). However, being tired, wet, cold, hungry and sleepy, the night rox, in a relative sense. got food and cool ground, even the night sentry duty was chillz.
today morning and we paddled back -.-, this time it only took 1 hr. zzz, tide was with us(we left at 12+ when we set out ytd). washed all the stuff, changed and bathed, felt damn good. then went for height activities, phailed badly, rock wall was too freggin small for my feet. "I think there are some rocks that are susposed to be there but are not there."- Reflections. Finished "climbing" and packed for land expedition. Susposed to find our own way but we hexed off a lot of crap and ended up taking a 15min walk on a direct path. Saw wild boars running around and some of the people didn't dare to move forward for some time.
Camp site was fregging cool though, facing the sea on open ground. could have seen a crap load of stars if not for the clouds. Joked around at dinner. Told lame jokes and stories and chilled. Instuctor Samuel is freggin good at imitating everything, like the radio channel DJ.(edit: apparently he can do yoda too) Writing in the tent, paper also no space alr, lolol (edit:the ground was damn rocky and the night is dam cold) ](11.52pm)
ok, last 2 days i write now, didn't had the time ytd, woke up and planned everything, then we set off for the real land expdition. the jerricans that contained water was freggin heavy and i had to share the load with satya by hanging it on a towel.
walked and rested and walked an rest and soon we found that we did not hav enough time to reach all the places we need to go(you are given a map), since 2 ppl need to reach camp 2 by 5+ so they can go home for haji,still manged to climb to the highest point in ubin. fregging cool scenery, can see changi airport. and the place echos, you can seriously hear your voice coming bak, and not some crappy reverberations you get for a empty hall. rained on the way bak, we got freggin out and juz chionged bak, obviously caused death.
when we reached, we juz sat there for 1 whole hr, no1 could bring themselves to even move. listened to bert being evil, they used sankar's kayak as target practice and capsized him 3 times -.- dinner was cooked by ourselves, no can food, all fresh. i would like to express my gratitude to my watch and the instructors, dinner was really awesome(yh thinks its coz of the MSG in the vegatable stock)
night was freggin cool, woke up at 5 and could here the chanting from a nearby mosque. and the sky is so clear that you can see all the stars, its better than any nightsky during astro lolol
cleaned up in the morning, gay ppl trying to expliot us with their extra stuff, say that we will reap a profit if they juz gave it to us -.-, its not even urs since its extra zzz, did reflections and took ship bak to punggol, bought coke from vending machines "The profit from the veding machines will have peaks occassionally and stay at almost 0 at other times." - YH
went home can chilled, temper was unusally short, dunno y, i'm not hungry, tired or sleep. maybe its com withdrawal symtompes.
lol random stuff from camp:
bryan's game: sit in a circle, every1's called "One Dot". so first person says:"Hi, my name is One Dot, what is your name?" to the person beside him/her, and the person will reply:"Hi, One Dot, my name is One Dot, nice to meet you." then "Hi, my name is One Dot, what is your name?" to the next person. if you get something wrong, ur name becomes two dot, and three dot for another mistake. and you can hav forfeit each time. dam easy to get confused
Samuel's imba indirectness: People in this world can all fart loudly, but only two can whistle when they fart, and they are both standing right here. Translation: Put your whistle inside ur pocket of ur life jacket, zzz
Wei Ni's thinking game: you are given parts of a story, you may ask yes/no qns and try to figure out wats really happening "Theres a man, he paid $400 for a ride. He landed on a island. When he walked around the island, saw a restaurant and decided to go in. He ordered a steak, ate it and cried." ok, so heres wat we got: it was not coz he didn't hav $$, his ride was a helicopter, he was not dreaming, and he did not plan to visit the island. and wat happened? we nvr managed to find out -.- wei ni juz won't tell
Samuel's "ghost" story, i think only he hav the ability to pull it off properly
There was this guy that was working over time at night. It was getting quite late and he suddenly felt quite hungry. He decided to go downstairs to get something to eat. It was rather dark and the store was almost preparing to close as he got there. Behind the dim-lit counter was an old aunty. She stood there sliently as the guy entered. The guy asked for a pack of noodles. The aunty did not reply. After a while she slowly disspeared into the darkness at the back of the store. The guy stood in the store rather impatiently. Then, rather suddenly, he thought the heard some weird noises coming from the back of the store. He strained his ears and it seemed to have stopped. Then, it came again, quite vividly from the back of the store. The guy was getting somewhat afraid, and curious too. As he tried to take a look at the back of the store to see what is causing the strange noises, the aunty came back out with his noodles. "How much is this?", asked the guy. The aunty did not reply, she only stood there and stared at the guy. "Aunty, how much is this?", he asked again, slightly louder this time. The aunty continued to stare at him. The guy was a bit creeped out by now, so he took out a ten dollar note and placed it on the counter. "I'm just going to leave this here ok?" He turned to leave. Just when he was about to step away, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He froze and turned around, and..........
