Friday, January 20, 2006 Post LEAP camp
Haven updated for quite a long while already. Juz got back from LEAP camp, really really tired and shagged, but HEY! It was really a new experience.
First Day : Reported to school in SRJCian Day tee and new track pants(olive green) which i juz bought the day b4. Wore my windbreaker/raincoat/sleeping mat too, and it's green too!! So the whole combination's pretty matching la! Hahax. Did the usual morning stuff(assembly, talks), den joined my camp group. Our class was divided into 2 groups and i was in the 2nd group, which was the minority. Anyways, it so happened couple of people First on the agenda was The Quest. We started at Marina Park and made our way all over Singapore, earning points for the quest and credits(cash) for our transport/food. It was really an "amazing race". Some memorable things were scrimping on $0.70/plate fried bee hoon for lunch cos we couldn't "afford" anything more and of course, Mr Ang treating the whole class to drinks(So nice!!). Endpoint of The Quest was at Changi jetty. Here, we took bumboats to Pulau Ubin and it was really great fun even with mosquitos already attacking and seaspray drenching us. Upon reaching Ubin, had another briefing and we moved out towards our campsite at Nordin beach which was like 45 mins hike. We decided against taking the main route as Colin said it was "longer" and instead took a dirt trail that he guaranteed was shorter. It was pretty creepy as night was falling and the dirt trail was through the forest. Finally reached there and there were like only 2 teams there. Pitched our tents and ate dinner( army food rations!) and had another briefing for the nightwalk. The nightwalk was SOOO creepy, we had a brush wif the netherworld can? There were 5 checkpoints to pass through. The first checkpoint was normal, but the second checkpoint was.. abnormal. The darkness was funny, the place was too quiet, and the whole place felt wrong. I found out later that a couple of people had felt "things" and Justine had heard someone breathing in her ear(Its over Tine! Dun brood over it ya?!). Besides that, the rest of the walk was pretty okay, though we did had a little scare over a persistant cat. Reached camp at about 11+ and after a short de-brief, went to the tents as we were all really tired out. Second Day: Woke up at 5.20am feeling really fresh. I guess the previous night's excitement and the "night-talk" didn't had much impact. Went to wash up and started packing up as we had to leave the place by 7. Hiked back to the jetty(groan.) and took bumboats(whee) back to Changi. Had breakfast(bread and soya milk) while waiting for the coaches to arrive. When it finally did, all of us boarded eagerly and there was quite a bustle. It quietened down though as quite alot of people dozed off(me too). Woke up when the bus was at Sentosa already. Nothing much today as we were waaaaaay behind schedule. Went to Palawan beach and basically spent the afternoon there interacting with the class and Mas. Left at late afternoon back to school by coach again and this time, everyone slept nearly right at the beginning. Woke up and we were in school already. After a considerably long de-brief with cheers, presentations, thank-yous and whatnots, finally left school for home tired but happy. The camp was really great fun and a whole new experience. However, the lack of potable water and facilities for baths un-nerved me somewhat. Oh heck, one can't ask for everything. Now its back to preparing for A's. Sigh.
