Woohoo!
Back from camp and feeling better after a loooooong sleep.
Camp was fun. Went malaysia.
Lots of inside jokes haha.

First day was kind of sian cos mainly on the bus ride to camp site.
Dam gay, play cards all the way.
Then stopped cos my other card partners all felt dam queasy.
Lunch was horrible, so many flies around.
Then later played "zhong ji mi ma".
Forfeit was eat expired chips LOL.
Dam fun. I tio eat once only.

Later campsite raining and i fell lots of times cos my shoe no grip.
Black bag become mud bag.
Ashworth bag too.
Dinner ok but sian taste.
By the time we found tent and settled everything was almost 1 am.
Normal tent got 3 people only but ming xuan, yin zheng, jia kiat and me squeezed into one tent.
Squeezy but ok.
Slept, next morning, i first one wake up then jalan jalan around.
Think timo tio stomache cos camped in toilet dam long.

Later 1st activity of our camp, or rather our group.
Trekking.
Quite fun.
Each person had to bring at LEAST 6 bottles of water.
Then our group, mx had to carry 24 bottles.
Mega Water Unit(MWU) LOL.
"S1 to S2 copy."
"S2 to S1 copy, protect the mega water unit at all costs."

But not really that heavy cos have 1.5 litre bottle that me and jia kiat carry.
Then each 1.5 = 3 small bottles.
So mx only need to carry about 18++ water bottle.
Trekking dam fun.
Got tree-top walk and trek through jungle.
Jia Kiat and me kept singing the bottles song, later, Marcus, Eugene, Josiah and Kevin joined in.
At first quite fun, reached the peaks of 2 hills.
Then took a mass group pic at one of the peaks.
I kept slipping at many wet mud paths.
George teached us how to climb down using the rope and the proper posture so it'll be easier.
Many thanks to George^^
After that went down to the river for lunch.

That's when all the drama began.

"FUCK TIO LEECH!"
"MEL LEND ME YOUR LIGHTER!"
"Fucking leech stuck to my shoe lah ci bai!"

I got leeched and tried burning but the flame like sotsot then never burn the leech.
So i decided to let it suck my blood first and let it fall off.
.................
Reached lunch point, ate lunch while the leeches had thier lunch as well.
After eating finish lunch, my leech was still stuck there.
I wanted to burn it so i took off my socks.
Guess what?
One leech on my left foot, the foot which had the earlier leech.
Burnt it then flicked it away.
Fast wore my socks and put on my left shoe.
Then checked my right shoe.
One leech on my foot, burnt, flicked.
Then one was on the inside of the sock, flicked away.
Turned to the outside, another leech.

Everyone was panicking when the leeches flew near them lol.
Then later Bryan Wong helped me burn the first leech(which was kind of big now, from virtually 1 cm thick to at least 8 cm long and 3 cm thick now.) and it finally dropped.
After that, Bryan picked it up with the remants of a plastic spoon, burned it and it dropped.
Then i did something really gorey.
I stepped and squished it, then all the blood burst out and stained the ground.
Everyone thought it was dead.
The suddenly part of it moved.
Bryan burned it again.
Then i stepped harder and rammed it into the ground.
I think it died but i doubt leeches die that easy.

Later we trekked out of the jungle.
Shaun Paul made some interesting comments about leeches that made us all LOL while trekking.
Made it out and waited for boats.
Then had a really, really fun boat ride.
Rapid shooting i think its called.
The guides put the peddle and splashed water at other passing boats.
Of course we got splashed with water when the other boats passed by too.
Got a slight leg cramp while sitting in the boat.
Dam fun.
Later they took us to a stream.
Everyone was washing their shoes and stuff lol.
Of course there were several water fights.

Later we had to pack up and move to our new location.
Sleepy mood, set up tent then did nightwalk.
Then later they gave us a candle and walked back to camp 1 by 1.
My candle haven't walk 5 steps no light liao.
Met kevin yeo on the way.
When we were close to camp, then i remembered that i had a lighter in my pocket.
Lol.
Had to pump 10 later cos of someone who left rubbish in the forest.
Reginald hero save everyone from 20 pumping.
Then later during counting out something funny happened.
Yz counted 20 then the guy behind him counted 20 three times.
Then cos we were already re-counting the third time so everyone quite pissed.
Then Zi Wei was like "Don't joke lah." in his dam gay voice.
Yz was dam pissed and said dam loud "Go FUCK yourself lah."
Then Mr Teo was like "Who said that? Who said that? Knock it down 10."
Lol at the randomness.

Caving and abseiling the next day.
For me, the abseiling was crap.
I only abseiled 1/4 of the distance then fell all the way for the rest.
Jia Kiat abseil like some pro lol.
Mx one of the first few to do the 15m wall, Eugene too.
Some people went to do the 10m wall after doing the 15m wall.
YD, Eugene, Danny included.
Walked to the caves after dinner.
They looked dam cool on the outside.
Inside too.
That was the first cave as we climbed around.
Saw some natural formations. Cool stuff.
But second cave was kind of sian cos all the walkways were constructed and all we had to do was to follow it around.
But this time the natural formations looked more spectacular in a way.
Especially the lighting thing.

Then packed stuff and headed off to some resort.
Had dinner there.
I think Mr Teo caught me piling too much food and said "Don't forget other people haven't eaten."
MC,Joshua and Ervin's table did a yam seh, so did Lee Yang's table shortly after MC's table started.
After dinner, there was a series of taupok sessions.
I think Woony got taupoked the worst with almost 10 over people piling on top.
Later had debrief, many people sleeping lol.

Then had some mini prize giveaways in the groupings.
I got "Mountain of Food" award. Lol.
Timo got some "Tan Tock Seng" award for carrying the first aid kit around haha.
Ebun got the "My-Bag-Is-Bigger-Than-Me" award.
Reginald got the "Best Prayer" award.
Shaun Paul got the "Most Chia Laut Prayer" award.
Bryan got the "I can, I will and I MUST pee everywhere I go" award. That was DAMN LOL.
Mx got "Most Helpful" award. o.O
YD got the "Talk Most Cock" award. LOL.
Jia Kiat got the singing award lol.
Cos we kept singing the bottles song.

"A 100 green bottles, hanging on the wall,
A 100 green bottles, hanging on the wall,
Then one green bottle had accidently fall,
So there's 99 green bottles, hanging on the wall."

We tried 500 in the bus ride to the resort lol.

After that was a train ride back to singapore.
Quite smooth, Cafeteria massively crowded.
No Ramly burgers zzz.

People kept saying that i slept with my eye whites visible.
Lol George even took a photo while i slept during the wait for the train.

Camp Overall was definitely a good experience.
I made new friends and strengthened bonds with old ones.
Could say i knew the personalities of my old friends better.
Esp. George.
Now i know why never to place judgement before evidence.
New friends include - Gregory, Ming Xuan, Eugene, Ray & Roy(twins), Shi Jie
Revisitation include - George, Bryan Wong, Shaun Paul, Yan Deng
Guess my new year's resoulutions of making new friends and strenghtening old bonds can be said nearly half done(having making it pass half a year already).
Friends are your best source of Courage, Strength, Perserverance, Love, Care and also Fun just after God.
I'm sure everyone had a fun time at camp despite all the probelms we faced Amen?
But we literally Talk Cock, Sing Song Play Mahjong(Ok maybe Bridge and Tai ti in this case) during the whole camp!

After coming back from camp, received shocking news that Samantha was hospitalised because of POS. :(
Immediately bathed and rushed to the hospital after coming home.
She seemed rather weak compared to her usual radiant self.
Of course that's expected since she's still on the road to recovery.
Darryn, Jia Kiat, my mum and me were there.
Yao Hui, her sister, mum and cousins were there too.
Shi Lin and her frens(Whom i later got to know: Claire and Hui Hui) also went down.
The rest of the CG weren't there 'cos they went the previous night.
Saw Jerry and Yi Chun on our way out.
Hopefully she'll recover best before Emerge. (:

*Random*
