Sec3 Camp

Well hello ppl....haven been blogging since I was preparing for Sec3 camp and now I'm back from the tiring camp...well, overall the camp was fun though there were challenges faced... I suppose photos will help to describe better

Well, this is where we camp in Gua Tongkai..we sleep in tents and have three meals provided for us...it's the best compared to the other food given us despite being in the worse environment.

It seems to me that in Malaysia, the worser the environment, the better the food..in the hotel we went to have our first meal, we did not get the best food, chickens were pretty much raw, rice were cold and flies were all around, although there were still flies in the cave, but they were not houseflies...

this is the view of the forest from the inside of our so-called cave (Gua Tongkai) where we were camping..it's a pretty good view in the morning and it feels good to take a walk..well, maybe not the place where our toilets are situated..

our toilets were pretty much dirty and in fact worse that having to do business in the wild. It was also a distance away from our campsite so we had to walk past the forest...it a pleasant experience in the day but a thrilling experience at night...

so here we are now, jumped straight to Taman Negara, in this hill where we took our firest step into the canopy walk for like 7hrs straight...many were dying half way through while others, probably due to a heavy breakfast, managed to catch up despite being the last... over there are two ways of climbing: Stairs which are quite badly maintained of its planks or natural platforms 'where the challenge begins...

there were also other activities such as rock climbing and abseiling which I did not take pictures since I had to climb with my camera off me..but I have successfully finished the entire route of the natural wall which was about 5 stories. I only manage to climb pass the 3 meters line last year when i was climbing the man-made wall.

Of course there was also the rapid firing (which at first we were going to use guns) where we kinda ride on boats and use the our hands to create fiction to cause water to splash at other ppl in the boats as the boat is moving..that's something we dun do in Singapore...or may seldom seen in civilized Singapore...

Another minor success during the camp was to blow a bubble gum....okay lol...but oh well, blame me of being deprived of gums ever since Singapore banned it..but oh well, it was very simple as all you have to do is kinda wrap the bubble gum around your tongue and blow while holding it with your lips...took me quite a while to master it..

Well, other than the fact that the toilets there were full of webs I think I hd missed out the trip bonding session where we played a games like "spider man" & "human chair"..well, to test on our teamwork and alertness...we also visited a cave..forgot what the name was but it was Gua and "moonlight" in malay where it probably was too dark for me to take pictures since we depended on torchlights to climb up and down deep slopes and stair...

Another places we walked passed was another cave and again i forgot the name but it was the most muddy cave I have ever been to, probably half the time we were sliding and slipping down the narrow routes of the cave...which made my pants brown and leeches on my socks

I kinda found a leech juz in time b4 it bit me...unfortunately for one of my friend...he was already too late since he had been bitten by the leech in his shoes and bled for the rest of the days...in end m leech was cremated and my friend's was soaked in salt where it dissolved and spilled out blood...pretty cool sight since two blood types from the leech was found. one of them was obviously from my friend...

well, i guess this is pretty much what i can remember now of the horrible nightmare i have in Sec3 camp especially being disturbed by cats at night and woken up by roosters at 4 am in the morning when we were in Taman negra, not forgetting our angry bus driver who kept being spammed on his phone calls and shouting the word"tiao" many times repeatedly on the way to taman negara..well, in the end, he got "tiaoed" away as he did not fetch us on our last day in malaysia...

After the train ride back from Malaysia to Singapore, i was pretty much exhausted since I did not sleep well, in the train, but at least I am now home where i finally can rest well and enjoy the holidays to come...which I have only:
