im back

yep,
im back.
5 days passed by so darn quickly.
definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
fun and tough at the same time.
though there are some stuffs we regretted not doing and giving in our best,
we truely enjoyed the good and bad times tgt. (:
go sui sen!!
*dan.sher.jiahui.ximin.queen.clara.angela.qiuyi.tiffany.paul.francis.feng.jiaquan.erjian.yaowei.raymond* i miss the watch already~
hahahs.

back with loads of bites.
mosquitoes & sandflies are our nemisis.
argghhh.
hope the bites heal asap.
sun burnt from the boat rowing.
rashes from the dirt.
but ask us and we'll say we'll do it again!!
yep and,
dan's the man.
hahahs.
thanks to him we really enjoyed our course.
cos he is there to make our lives difficult & let us suffer`


day one.
took vessel harmony to obs jetty.
checked in and got grouped into our watches.
did some introduction games.
darn hilarious when the games get complicated.
we seemed to end up throwing stuffs at each other instead.
was kinda awkward when we were grouped with vj people.
yes, victoria jc.
those scholars~
hahahs.
but they are really nice peeps`
did rock climbing.
dan told us to stick our names to where we stop at on the rock wall,
and most of us made it right to the top (:


day 2.
that was when the real adventure began~
packed our stuffs that was sufficient for 2 days and headed off for our expedition.
had cx expedition where we kayaked the whole day.
before that dan wanted us to write our expectations and stick it behind our life vest.
mine was 'toughen up' which really toughen me up during the journey.
paired up with jiaquan and off we went into the sea.
did some capsize drill which nadine and thatfunnyguy rescued us.
jq got seasick halfway through though.
headed into the muddy swamps later in the day.
tide was real low and we had to carry our kayaks over a mud pile.
that was where the fun began!!
had some mud fights.
some guy even scooped mud from the swamps as ammos.
hahahs.
some girls from baker was about to ram into the swamp branches and all they did was scream.
...
as if it was much help`
lols.
got rammed in a few times too, with the sandfiles.
finally reached campsite in the evening and we had to build our shelter.
had a dip in the quarry.
it was heavenly.
clara cooked noodles for us while we eat by the shore in the dark.
like what yanchao said,
mosquitoes were like F1 racing cars.
we sorta joked abt dan and cin,
dan was always being a gd sport playing along as well.
and he always end with his 'ya righhhhhht'.


day 3.
woke up cleaned up the campsite.
some had to bury the shits.
lols.
literally a shitty way to start the day.
had morning sharing.
talked abt expectations again.
this time was to put others before self.
started off with building a raft to hold the whole watch.
we, as usual were the slacker bunch.
we tie the pipes tgt, take break, have snacks, feed mosquitoes and crapped.
and of course, the raft didn't float.
hahahs.
but in the end we still end up having a dip in the quarry.
played some group monkey game there with nemo.
and cindy's nemo decided to go home.
it just submerged into the water and never appeared again.
hahahs.
later we sat down to evaluate.
and dan gave his talk again.
this time abt people, process & product.
really learnt alot.
den off we went for our 6 checkpt trek.
had to lug our uber heavy backpacks and trek for 4.5 hours.
goshh.
1st checkpt was hard to find - highest point in pulau ubin.
2nd was among some trees in the forest.
3rd one was near a tombstone.
jiahui & ximin ran for their dear life when they spot the grave.
lols.
when francis & i was looking for the signboard we heard some noises that sounded like wild boars.
and the 1st thing he did was that he asked me if i heard it.
den he turned around and walked off quickly.
....
wa laooo`
was darn hilarious.
so freaking timid man` =X
by the time we were at our last checkpt the sun already went down.
so we trekked in the dark and finally reached camp 2.
best thing was there were showering facilities~
built our shelter again.
raymond was real funny with his 'fatherly' crap.
noodles for dinner again.
and we played the number game to finish up the food.
francis is always the unlucky one when it's left with either me or him.
even dan noticed abt mrwaxylegs and his broken wrists.
lols.


getting tired.
continue with day 4 & 5 again tmr.
hope all the sui sens will never forget these 5 days like other watches dan took.
we can do the impossible.





the wind was strong
the waves were strong.
the tides were strong.
but all of you were stronger
