okay! so since im a little lazy to go into detail everything that we've done, im just going to give an abstract of casey's blogpost which more or less says what we did

DAY 1

While crossing the checkpoint over into Malaysia, the customs officer didn't seem to believe that I was that cute boy on that passport! HAHAH. She questioned me alot, and I seemed to be the only one to have been questioned. HMPH!Reaching our campsite, it was a pleasant surprise to find out that we actually had beds to sleep on! Omg. HAHAH. A bed to sleep on was like the last thing on my mind.Anyway, our first activity of the camp was "outdoor survival"We had to start a fire, find food, make a shelter and cook food.My group had a really difficult time starting a fire.We first tried using a magnifying class and the sun thingy, but it wouldn't work. Next, we tried to produce a spark with some batteries and wires, but that failed, too. So we lit the fuel with a matchstick, and the teacher in charge obviously knew there was something fishy. Why? Cause you aren't supposed to be able to start a fire or something. LOLOur shelter was screwed up too. Shan't say too much about that.Water collection was also as screwed up as the shelter.It rained halfway, so they gave us a lighter to cook the food we gathered. YUCKS. But still, we ate it after we were told there wasn't going to be dinner.In the end, we still had dinner. What a lie!

DAY 2

Our morning activity was "Orienteering". We had to use a map to navigate around the campsite, finding checkpoints and clues. Something like the amazing race. One of the roadblocks awarded us with the much sought after POTATO CHIPS! Only 2 slices, but what the heck. It was a treat while we were out camping.Another roadblock involved being given a chilli to eat and than out teacher had to explain why the Malaysians use chilli and how you get the spiciness out of your mouthGargle your mouth with water and spit the water out :DShe also gave us a mentos cause eating sweets can get rid of the spiciness too ;DDWe didn't manage to finish it during the time limit, and group 3 (I was group 1) won the race. Their prize was.... bombing the rest with water bombs! HAHAH. Got really wet there was I was hit quite a few times.Afternoon activity was "Rafting (knots and lashing)"We first did river crossing, where you had to get into the water and use a rope to pull yourself across the river. Real fun and wet! HAHAHNext was making a raft. I thought we were doomed in this one. My group pretty much had no coordination in the jungle survivor activity. However, we miraculously pulled through. Must have been warming up to each other. Also, it was also Eugene cheng whom helped pull us through. The scout-which-never-goes-for-scouts helped us tie everything together and beat all the other groupsThe raft had to be able to support 3 people, cross the pond and get back in 1 piece. ANDD, we were the only group to succeed. HAHAHPleasant surprise from Eugene cheng.

DAY 3TREKKING!!!!

Must have been the most fun activity in the whole camp. Why? Cause it was like, life and death all hanging on a piece of string. Or something like that hahah. In other words, you fall you die. Yeah, that sort of thing ;DWe trekked up gunung lembak which was 510m tall. It was pretty alright at first. But as we proceeded higher and higher, our paths became much steeper and much unstable. We really had to look out for others, warning others on where was unsafe and advising which the best path to take was.The heavy bags we had to carry (containing all our water bottles) didn't make things any easier. My feet burned with every step I took once I took over from Bryan.However, after much perseverance, determination, root pulling and nearly-falling off the damn mountain, we made it to the top. Snapped a photo, re-hydrated ourselves, took in the scenery and being our perilous journey back down. Almost slipped and died again. So did alot of other people. Really grateful that we all made it down, safe and alive and kicking ;DI think this experience has really helped us to let us express our concern for the well-being and safety our friends. If we couldn't care any less, we would race up and leave everyone behind. However, everyone pretty much had someone accompanying them, giving them support, encouraging them or lending a helping hand. We tested out the stepping and relayed the cautions or advice to those behind us. Making sure we were never too far ahead or behind any others, we looked out for each other. Great job guys ;DAbseiling later on. First we went down the building. Followed by some trust games. Like lifting the person up and than singing a song before putting them down. It was really tiring, lifting up my group members. When it was my turn, those idiots *ahem*Adam and Eugene and dunno who*ahem* were lifting me while clapping to "glorious green". Goshh. I'm either really light, these guys are freaking freaking strong OR they couldn't care less if they dropped me. LOL

DAY 4Canoeing!

Learnt a new capsize drill. We really had difficulty carrying it out, but we pulled through I guess. We got past the first island before rowing back.Ohh. ISAIAH WAS DAMN FUNNY. Being the gold medallist canoeist he was, he went solo on a canoe while I and Bryan shared one. He was telling us how fast his canoe could go, and he wanted to show us! So as we watched, he started rowing and before he could move any further, HE CAPSIZED! HAHAHAA. Therefore, we had to execute another capsize drill to save this medal-winning canoeist. TSK. HAHAHHOhh. After we were done, Mr Nathan allowed us to take a dip in the water. And just as we reached the water, he shouted "HORNET!" which meant we had to do the hornet drill of lying face down and covering our necks.Obviously doing it in the water was just plain wrong! Therefore, Bryan and I rushed back onto land while some losers stayed behind in the water ;DDDD

Lunch.
Took a bus to SJI
Went back home
Wooooooooooot
HOME SWEET HOME!
