Hey!! It had been a very long time last since i post right??? Haha....Last post was on 7 Nov 2007....WOW!!! 18 days didn't post!!! Super uh!!! Haha....Few reasons behind it....Firstly,i'am very busy this holidays....Secondly,sometimes i just don't get wat to write...Words just don't get into my brain....Today post will be about the Adventure Training Camp(ATC) that was held on 22 Nov to 24 Nov....That was just few days back...If i follow my heart,i want to post tomorrow...But i think again,post today will be better....Why?? Because tomorrow i have JAPANESE students(cultural exchange) coming!!! I will surely want to post about that....So if i combine ATC and cultural exchange story,i will sure you my post will be damn super long...We need to be clever!!! Haha....Let's don't waste time!! Will start my story and history make at Pulau Ubin....After reading it,try to imagine how tired is us!!! Then tell me via the tag board!! Let's the story begin!!

Day 1

GOSH!!! Day 1 was the most boring day in all the three days there.....Depart from school at about 9 a.m.....Of course we get there by bus....haha....About 9.45a.m we reach the changi boat jetty....Group by group get into the bumboat....A bumboat can only take up to 12 people at a time....And yeah!!! I created a history " My first time taking a bumboat!"... I thought the boat will be moving fast,but then it move slow....GOSH!! Its like never ending seh the boat ride....Slow mah!! haha....After about 15 minutes,at last we reach!! Sit around while waiting for others....We got take group pictures too!! But sadly its at my Ms siah camera....Damn,damn,damn!!! When all arrive,we proceed to walk....Firstly i thought we walking to the bus that will bring us to the campsite.....But then,we kept walking...When i ask Ms phang,she say we will be walking to the campsite....I was like FUCK!!! With heavy belongings and still need to walk....Somemore i bring the travelling sling bag style...FUCK!!! I should have listen to my brother and mum!!! Stubborn me!!! Damn regret!! Walk and walk and walk and walk and walk!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!! Its like never ending!!!! Its like driving at a road with no ending!!!! Turn left,turn right,straight......Still didn't reach the campsite......Can't even see any building.....FUCK!!! My back already in pain!!! 5,10,15,20 minutes walk.....Still didn't reach the campsite....Still can't see any building.....Worse still....There's no rest at all.....20 minutes walk but no rest!!! ENDURE,ENDURE,ENDURE,ENDURE!!!!!!! That word was heard by me thousands of times...GOSH!!! Irritating you know!!! I had enough endure...."WHEN WILL WE REACH???" That question kept repeating in my brain!! At last after 30 minutes of walking we reach!!! And i mean just get to step my foot into the campsite...A bit of relieve from me...Thinking that we have reach our camp site....But then!!! Need to get up this slope just to send the secondary 3 to their campsite......Isn't that FUCK!!! They should be the one sending us to our campsite....Starting to fired up.....Thx to FIR for helping me carry some of my bags....Appreciate it!!! You should have help me from the start man fir!! Haha...Up slope,down slope,up slope....Fuck!!! Its again never ending.....I was already super exhausted...Then this sir that i really want to shout straight to the face " FUCK YOU!!"....Why?? He kept on saying "keep walking","catch up" many times....Is he blind??Can't he see my exhausted walk??Can't he see that i'am carrying a big bag?? His carrying a just small fucking bag....I also like want to say "You carry for me can then i catch up".....But i will be dead because other sir will also punish me....So the solution is to just pretend not to listen....His talking to the trees around there....haha....I don't even reply a single word....At last we reach our campsite....At last we can sit....At last we can put our bags down....At last we can drink water....At last we can talk....At last we get a shelter.....PHEW!!! Hell walk!!! Sit around while waiting other schools....After a while sitting,another problem comes....My ass started to be itch!!! Gosh!!The place for how many years didn't wash?!?!?! Keep changing place...When all schools arrive,we are divided to our groups....Dunearn,Hillgrove,Chestnut,Greenridge,Swiss Cottage,Outram,Admilarty,Yusof Ishak....I can only remember this schools....Any school i left out??? Hmm....Nvm...In my group,i'am the only from Fajar Secondary....WTF!!! But slowly started to talk with each other....After all get their groups,we had briefing....After briefing,we are group again for who will be in the tent....This is even more FUCK!!! In my tent group,there's no malays!!! SHIT right?! Collect the items for tent pitching...Our tent area was above the girl's tent area.....But the bad thing is we got to climb up this slope then we can get to our tent area....GOSH!! The slope was rocky and quite steep...The moment reach our tent area,tired already....Haha....The pitching tent process was damn frustating....We got to keep changing place because most place can't pax because there's stone in the ground....I was at the lost world when doing the tent....Because the others don't agree doing my school style of pitching the tent....Soo got to follow one of my team member school style of pitching the tent.....And FUCK!!! Absolutely different....Need to hold there,don't hold there etc...Haizz....Some more it was freaking hot.....2 hours under the hot sun!!After done pitching the tent,get back to the canteen....Get our food etc and cook our lunch....As per normal maggi is the main food....After lunch,ice breaking time!!! Get this sir name Jia hao...Damn!!! A super strict sir....Its as if everything must be prefect....Shirt must tuck in ALL the times etc....During the ice breaking time,we did lots of stuffs....Playing game,know each other,we make deals etc.....Quite fun when we playing games.....I do laugh alot!! Haha....Do ice breaking for almost 3 hours.....Boring uh? Then proceed for dinner....After dinner,we had singing session & briefing....GOSH!!! It was damn boring....I did fall asleep a few times during singing session & briefing....Simpily can't open my eyes.....Haha...After singing session & briefing,we had a blind folding activity....We will be blind fold then will be brought to somewhere....Scary you know!! You don't know what's there the next step you going to take....We are having fun when suddenly the rain started to drop....Damn!!! Got to rush back to the canteen....We the team get the furthest place but of course the last to reach the canteen....haha...When the rain stop,we all were bought to the field...And guess wat!! We are punish to the core!!! FUCK,you know!!! From pumping(10) to sit up(10) to pumping(10) to sit up(10)....FUCK isn't it?! And some more the field really SUCKS!! Stones everywhere!!! The sand soo damn rough!!! I hurt my left hand last finger....All because we didn't show urgency....After those pumping etc,another scolding from sir jia hao about wasting solid fuel!!! Because of some inconsiderate people,theres no more solid fuel....FUCK RIGHT?!! Fuck the people!!! Brave to do,coward to admit!!! What kind of human!!Then after those scoldings,sleeping time!!! We didn't sleep at tent because the sirs predicted there will be a heavy rain in the morning.....Soo sleep at the canteen....ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Day 2

Day 2 was a damn tiring day....Lots of activity....Activity after activity....Non stop action!!! Haha...At 6.30a.m started off with PT.....Not that tough.....Did 30 pumpings,30 sit up and 2 rounds of run....After that,we had breakfast....After breakfast,my group was kayaking....Diffirent group,different activity....Soo my group first activity was kayaking...Damn!!! Kayaking at the sea was difficult....The wave makes it difficult!!! Some more its not single kayaking....Its double kayaking...I hate doing double kayaking....Need to coordinate all the times....FUCK!!! My kayak simpily can't move straight!!! During the one star kayaking,i can move it straight because its at a reservoir...No wave!!! Of course can move straight....Then got this time when we got to hold eachother kayak to make a straight line....After all in line,we got to STAND and do chicky dance!!!And i mean all front/back kayaker......Turn by turn...First the back kayaker stand but the front kayaker sit.....Second time,its my turn...Back kayaker sit but front kayaker stand....Its quite scary you know....Then got this time i save a quite FAT girl from falling into the water....GOSH!!!FUCK!!DAMN!!! The time i pull her up,i was standing up....My kayak nearly half tilted but the girl was half up....Then i decide to realise her because if not i will capsize....haha....Soo the girl back to the water....haha...After my kayak stable already,i ask the person at the another side to pull me soo that the girl can get the hell up.....After much helping,the girl at last on her feet back up!!!!PHEW!!!But there's no "Thank you" at last!!!! I should have let the girl drowned better!!! Haha...At the sea for 3 hours!!Its 12p.m get back to land and wash up....1 hour for wash up and lunch!!!GOSH!!!DAMN!!FUCK!!!Soo rushing!!!I was like mad dog run here and there.....After wash up,run to the lunch area and grab a can of baked beans and stuff as many as i can in one go...Because i only left 5 mins!!!After lunch,gather back at the canteen....Then proceed to our second activity of the day that is low ropes element....Actually some go rock climbing and some go low ropes element....I go low ropes element.....GOSH!!! Its super fun!!!There's this wood log that we decide all to climb on the wood log and stable for 5 seconds.....Its not easy!!!The wood log is shaky and quite slippery.....Try after try....Attempt after attempt.....Keep on failing....But there's one time we manage to do it!!! Felt soo proud of it!!! Team work is everything!!! Team work that make us succeed!!! Haha....Then the low ropes element group switch to the rock climbing...GOSH!!!DAMN!!! It was difficult to climb....The surface was not straight....There's curves!!! Some more the stone not many....Not many stone is one thing....Another thing many stone is small and for the leg...The stone for hand soo little....I give up but the instructor don't care...The instructor wants me to continue...Or not i will be hanging up there....I was like " FUCK YOU MAN!!!"....Manage to complete it!! PHEW!!!! Then get to the canteen again....Wait for all groups finish their activity...After all finish,we proceed to our last activity of the day that if campfemp....What is campfemp?? It's like a tour around Pulau Ubin...Very useful you know....Gain quite a lot of knowledge of the Pulau Ubin....From this campfemp,i then know that the campsite sec 2 staying name Kampong Bahru and the campsite sec 3 staying name Kampong Nordin,the water we drink from the tap was not from the PUB....They process it by themselves....Tads why the taste different from the tap water at home....haha...Weird taste but save to drink...I prefer Kampong Nordin(sec 3) than Kampong Bahru(sec2).....Kampong Bahru is not new...Its a old camp...The name only "bahru"....But actually its old camp site...Kampong Nordin is new,nicer,bigger....The tent place at Kampong Bahru was on top a hill but the tent place at Kampong Nordin is just beside the canteen!!!FUCK right!!!! Don't even need to climb up a rocky and steep slope....After the campfemp,its dinner time!!! After dinner,prepare ourselves for campfire....When all groups ready,we move to Kampong Nordin(sec 3) for the campfire....Their campfire place is way bigger than at Kampong Bahru campfire place....I should say the campfire was FUCKING boring!!! The fire was damn to the core small....Its as if not a campfire....Someone got to throw thinner or wat at the fire to make it big....The fire will be big awhile only....Then will be small back....The MCs talk were damn boring!!! They should hype up the environment not just to talk......The environment was not that havoc....Even there's cheer,the environment still not havoc.....There's one time i do fell asleep...It means that the campfire was boring to the core....2 hours of BORING campfire.....My expectation was even higher than this.....Even higher than my school NPCC annual camp's campfire.....But all were not up to expectation.....Below my lowest expectation some more!! So sad!!! After campfire,head back to Kampong Bahru(sec 2)....Gather back to our groups and had our last talk with our sirs....Also include of de-brief of the activity of the day....After everything,sleep!!! Sleep at the canteen again since there's a baby cobra in syafiq's and gang tent and the sirs didn't manage to catch the snake....Even its just a baby but its POISONOUS....Soo didn't manage make a history of sleeping in a tent for the first time in my life....haha....

Day 3

Day 3 was a simple day....No activity....At 5.30a.m got to assemble already....FUCK right!!If at home at 5.30a.m still sleeping soundly!! Assembly according to school and then from there they will break which school do what thing....Some clean the toilet,some clean the field,some clean the canteen etc.....Fajar,Swiss Cottage and Admiralty got to unpitch all the tents!! Sound sucks right...But i'am happy with it....Unpitch the tent better than cleaning and digging the toilet bowl!!! Girls unpitch the girl's tent while the boys unpitch the guy's tent....While unpitching the tent,i do spotted some great stuffs like underwears!!! Haha....After all are unpitch,we bring down the ground sheet and what ever shit to the lunch place area...We got to keep moving...No one can stand and watch....Not even one second of standing....FUCK uh!!!Then help out wipe the dirty ground sheet etc....After everything done,at last we can stand look around....PHEW!!!Then gather at the field to give out our remaining foods....After everything completed,school by school left the campsite......Go back to the jetty means we got to walk again.....Get to Kampong Nordin to wait for the sec 3....Then set off to the jetty BY leg again....This time all school will be walking together....During the walk,my back getting more pain....Soo walk slower and slower....Ma'am liwen help me carry the pole....Thx!!! Mr Solehan help me carry my small bag and water bottle...Thx!!Ma'am kaili help me carry my shoe bag....Thx!!!I left with my clothes bag only after all the help....I can feel its a bit lighter after those help.....Thx alot Ma'am and Mr Solehan!!!Appreciate it very much!! This time walking back to the jetty i felt soo fast....I think because of CDSS and other schools cheering behind us make me can't feel the walk was long....But i can feel the tiredness...Get the bumboat once again back to changi boat jetty....GOSH!! Need to get through a bag scan!!! Like airport sia!!! Too bad no bomb nor gun inside my bag so they can't catch me...haha...Board the bus and back to school....Sleep the whole journey from changi boat jetty to school....Haha...

WEIRD + STRANGE...haha...Some question pop up in my mind like Whose that guy?Do he know me? or Something attart his eyes?.....hmm...Its unanswered till moment....I kept thinking day and night whose that guy....hmm...BUT,BUT that guy was pretty good looking....haha...NVM...Then fir,danriz and dan decide to bury me....WTH!!Of the course that won't bury all the till my face....I don't want to be buried ALIVE!!Get to the beach and prepare myself to be buried....GOSH!!They choose the wrong spot...Because that spot was direct from the sun....But just got to continue because they dig a hole already...haha....Just close my eyes during the process of burying from the tip of my toes till my neck.....After all sand already been put,from tip of my toes till my neck felt cold....haha...I think because of the wet sand...haha....BUT my face was feeling hot....Very hot....Got to hold it because they want to have a photo taking with the DEAD MAN!!!haha....After about 15 minutes taking pictures,at last i got to stand up....Everything from the process of burying to the end take about 30 minutes....Seems long....But actually everythings seems to be just 15 minutes....haha....Then after i get up,another photo taking session with me....Now they call me the SANDMAN!!!haha...All because of my body till my toes filled with sand....haha....But overall was really fun....Then danriz,dan,fir went to swim....I can't swim because i was restricted by my parents...Haizzzz....So sit alone at the mat bought by Dan from home....Sit,eat,dream,taking a short nap,taking pictures and many more....After they swim,we play around....Then me and fir walk around the beach....Get to the Southernmost Point of Asia Continent....WOW!!!Feel soo happy when i step at the Shouthernmost Point of Asia Continent....A great achievement for me!!!haha....Then much walking around,get back and sit around before go bathing....After bathing,went to take the beach tram since its free.....GOSH!!That tram was super slow....I meant it....Super damn slow....Only half way from the whole journey,my eyes already closing....But i force myself not to sleep...haha...After the tram ride,get to the merlion before heading to vivo city to eat....After eating,get back home by train....What a tired day!!haha

Pre-ATC training

Today my squad give a phatactic attendent.....11 only come...I feel like soo damn super regret of coming....But in the end,i felt no regret of coming because its a recap of how to pitch a tent....We going to sleep in a tent during ATC....I was like a lost dog when need to tie ropes....I don't even know a single thing...haha...I really can't imagine how the hell six or seven person to fit in a not that big tent....In the tent not only us,buy our belongings/bags will be in there too....Confirm our bags all won't be as small as a school bag....At least our bag will be like a travelling bag size....MAYBE some bigger....Haizzz....On the day itself then i will feel how the hell it going to be...haha...And i will want to sleep right beside the going in and out place...Why??Because there will be a lot of wind at night....That's the advantage....BUT the disadvantage will be first to get mosqitoes bites....MUST apply lots of anti-mosqitoes cream....If to sleep at the middle of the tent,it will be hot and less wind....I can't sleep if its hot....AND if someone release a poisonous gas out of their ASS, the middle man will die first....haha....We will only be given 1 hour 30 minutes to pitch a tent....WTH!!

DONE!!!!I'am done posting!!PHEWWWWW!!!At last i'am done....From 19.00 till 21.40....Nearly 2 hours of posting.....haha....Bye and Take care....OH YA!!! Will be ending with some beautiful pictures taken when at SENTOSA....Only half will be posted...Another half will be next post....ENJOY!!!

Will be proceeding to the peer leader training camp(PLTC)....Then if i pass the PLTC, i will be a peer leader....I really want to be a peer leader....WHY??? I want to LEAD & SERVE the school....CEH!!! BUT really ah... I really want to be!!! This the ONLY chance left for me to SERVE the school...You poeple must be asking how about becoming a prefect or student Council?? I didn't get to be BOTH!! Sad right??? A soo WELL BEHAVED person didn't get it....CEH!! I will pray hard that i will get to be a peer leader!!! Pray for me too you people out there!!!Thx!!
