haha... ok.. here i am to cont my previous post... Idare rox... haha... GOONDOOs rox too... haha...so many memories of the camp... turning the impossible to i'm possible... all great fun and nothing but fun and learning many new things that could be applied to our daily lives... ok.. i'm gonna type a brief summary of wad happened in Bintan...
Day 1:
1st day of camp.. took a cab down to tanah merah mrt station to meet the vinda, who is my sf for this camp and the rest of the peeps there at 7am ... den takin a bus down to tanah merah ferry terminal to board the ferry...
got over to bintan in an hr or so via the ferry... lolx... few of us got a little seasick i guess. den we went to have our 1st exposure to the instructors there... played a few indoor games and learn a few things about it... and went ahead with the low elements... be4 checking into our lodges... grps 1 - 6, namely the incredible babies, mighty 7, ding dang tong zi, bungee bunnies, braveheart, and last but not least, my grp, Goondoos which consisted of hongwei, jasmine, melis, jerry, andre, aiqi, and me.. haha...
we were splitted into 3 further grps to play different low element stations, so our grp was together with bungee bunnies and we eventually named ourselves goonnies... ahha... our 1st station was trolley, which was i think the most impt station as we learnt many things like cooperating with other teams towards a common goal, using obstacles and thinkin of how to use them as a pro instead of a con. after that we proceded to our nxt station which we were supposed to balance a big see-saw thingy, remember 1 of the years the charity show thingy? ya.. something like tat... and we were supposed to balance on it for 1 min... a high performance team need to take about 20 mins and below to complete that task... and guess wad, our team balanced it within 2 mins, breakin the record of 15 or 18 mins... haha... and we accepted the challenge by larry, 1 of the facilitators there, which was to rebalance the whole structure again without communicatin with each other, and this time we took 8 mins or so... haha... and balanced on it for about 15-20 mins... haha... alot of concentration needed there... cos a bit of movement will cause the whole thing to move...
and for spiderweb, we were supposed to carry ppl thru holes without touching the strings which form the spiderweb... and our grp was the only grp that managed to finish it within 20mins!
den had lunch and played a few more low elements and eventually playin the low wall.. which almost killed me... hahaha... cos remember, i went sentosa be4 camp... so i was like super burned when i was there... den this low wall was about 3m tall at least ba... den we were supposed to be the base lor... and by the end of it, my back was sufferin from abrasion... lolx.. but had great fun... nite trek was canceled that nite due to rain i think... den we went back to our lodges to bathe, and after tat practice for our dance... be4 goin to slp...
day 2:
had rafting on the 2nd day, we were separated into 2 grps, 1 to do rafting and 1 to do kayaking... den the rafting grp was separated into a further 4 grps - A1, A2, B1 and B2, and situated at different places... we were given materials to form a raft. 6 tires, ropes, 2 pipes a bag of ballons and a hula hoop were given to each grp. and we had a command centre thingy, which will gif us instructions on wad to do and so on... at 1st we were damn sian cos no chance to kayak.. but after buildin the raft and puttin it into sea after combining with B1, we completed our task which was to get to one of the buoys in the sea.. seems so near, but it was damn far... paddled like mad and the raft started to fall apart, ppl started fallin into the sea and stuff liddat... but we were determined and continued till we got to the buoy and finished our task... the other team, unfortunatly couldnt continue cos their raft fell apart...
had paintball after that... was extremely fun... but waited very long cos we were the last grp... haha... i killed 3 ppl... super nice... but we lost eventually... and i swollowed some paint... lolx... cos some1 shot me in the mouth den my mouth was open.. sian 1/2 o.O rite... haha...
later at nite was the nite trek... the moon was like damn bright there... cos the whole land was lighted up by the moon itself... and it was quite a long nite trek... but was super fun lar... went back to the training centre and drank coke be4 headin back to our lodges to wash clothes, bathe and kunz... lolx...
day 3:
had our high elements and TCP which was known as Team challenge pyramid... how to describe it, it is a 25 m tall thingy, which is formed like a tall pyramid and filled with obstacles and things that needed to be completed together with the whole team of 6 people... it was great.. at 1st every1 was like woah... so big and so many obstacles... how to finish... but after having all the teamwork, perseverence, encouragement, from team mates, and other teams, we completed it and flying fox down... haha.. enjoyed every part of it... be4 TCP was the high elements, 1 of them was parralel wires, which was 2 wires parralel to each other, and u have to cross them without any support... but i dint get to complete that... cos i fell off.. and not enuff time.. :( sian 1/2 injured my leg in the process but was alrite by the end... and had another 1 which was to hold on to a wire in fron of u and move to the other end..
at nite, it was the performance nite/campfire nite... this campfire was not as fun as DNA's... and there was no proper lighting, sound system etc... so durin performance, it was very difficult for all grps to perform cos the songs and stuff liddat cannot be heard properly... but nonetheless, every grp's performance was great and esp. zack's grp, mighty 7... haha... it was super entertaining... lolx... was laughin like mad when perry threw his shirt at me, and zack gave me a high 5... lol... and after which was the sundance, followed by unvieling of the angel mortal game, and lastly the friendship dance... my angel was ah tong and mortal, pei fen... haha... this time's sundance was quite weak i feel cos of the sound... cant hear properly... but every1 started dancing with the beat provided by a few of us... haha... during the last part of the dance, it was damn funny cos me and ah boy increased de tempo.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 haha... den damn funny lar... every1 had great fun...
