NPCC Adventure Training Camp ' o8!
Area 13 cheerios :D! Beatty Unit All The Way! x)

Okay let me get started. It would be an ultra long post LOL. Enjoy reading uh! don't sleep pls :P


First Day (31st Oct) :
Report at 12.30 sharp and then waited for th bus to comeeeeeee :)! haha, so cool man, guess what. Only 13 in total turned up for th camp that day. There's only 7 sec2s and we were told of our groupings. only like 3 person in each team. Phew, YiLiang was in my group thankfully. But my tent, no-one! Whoa. That's when i decided to make friends, we need them to survive right?(: ahah! We all got up th bus where we were dropped off at Changi Jetty and then for th bumboat! (: It's really bumpy and, th scenery is shiok. Lols. So walked with th sec2s all th way from th jetty to th campsite, which is super long for us with our big bags :O! Finally we saw th NPCC campsite, our destination. Whoohoo, everyone started cheering. Who wouldn't be happy? :D But, there's still a short walk cause we are using the bahru one which is deeper inside. Endurance is th key. Walked and walked. Finally~ Cheers again! :DD Whee.


First thing, collect rations from th don't know where and while waiting, we saw all th GLKs as we thought LOL, and then we realised that all of us are starting to regret going to th camp as there's only 7 of us, th 'biggest' squad among th schools. But nevermind, went to help and it's real fun with all th beatty sec2s pushing th trolley from th place all th way to th camp area. Wheeeeeeeeeeee, uphill and down hill we went and that's called : UNITED!:D Then, tent-pitching time! There's only 3 persons in my tent and ahah, we are in for great sleeps. Helped one group of sec3s to pitch th tent cause they also have 3person only and then ours. But th inner sheet we took wrongly for 2times and got to run down to take again :/ mine is th last tent to get pitched up! (among th girls) Lols. Power, but thanks to th help from all th others :D! Can see there's no tension LOL. Made th first few friends (same tent/group)


Logistics were given out and it's DINNER time. th first meal we had in ubin! (: cooked maggie mee with jiahui, ashikin, liling and tasted th can of pineapple, conclusion : CAN PINEAPPLE IS NICE! :D haha. So after dinner would be mock campfire? Okay sang songs there, idk alot of songs :O! Therfore, ps i can't follow. Next up, icebreakers. Well, boring luh. It's th poncho game again! But yeah, know many more guys here. haha :P And campfire preparations! It's wasting of time actually cause my group didn't get anything done. CIs told us to submit a proposal tmr. Goddd. Lights off at 11plus and discussed th campfire with jiahui and liling but eventually we don't intend to submit that due to some reasons -.-! and, they both got to sleep but I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP! zomg yeah. whenever i closed my eyes, th "wengweng" buzzing sounds of th mosquitoes would wake me up, without fail. anyway just a few more hours to sentry duty. Fall in at 2 and reported for th duty. Whoa, boring one. It's just around th campsite. Check gates blahblah. And, th gate is secured with a camera down there but we stil have to check LOL. Quite scary here. Checked th tents and finally, ended. Went back to tent and tried to sleep, but in vain. Stupid mosquitoes. Took my towel and covered my ears up and at last, i drifted off to sleep, for only a while and then it's morning. -yawns-
Overall : Boring Day.


Day2: (1st Nov)
Lightning risk alert in th middle of th night and keep repeating, super irritating. And in th morning, raindrops started to fall from th skies. We quickly covered our stuffs with th ground sheet, put on our ponchos and rannnnnn to take shelter at th command post.

I'm trying to tell myself that "today would be a better day" and i went around telling poeple that, haha :P okay and see their expressions. Jaime i'm not lying okay! Lols. Anyway first thing in th morning is PT! :) sexy pt yo. haha did 5bx and some exercise, fun! Long time no pt ler ): next breakfast - ate dry rations and i think i ate only like 2biscuits. Don't feel like eating :/ went to pack my daypack and then waited at th command post for more instructions for today.
Our first activity - Low Ropes. Everyone had already went for their activity and we were th last to go because th HQ guys haven't arrive :/ GAH. So went to th deep inside place of th campsite and wore helmets. Cave!(: 6girls one group. It's scary because th place is all dark when th door is closed and all of us were like screaming when th door is closed. With LiLing being th first person, we feel our way through :D Lols. There's holes, water things like that in th cave. Ahhhhh -! But when we saw the small beam of light, we all started jumping for joy LOL. Scared th boys and th water seems like MILO?! omg lols. Th boys managed to come out fast, i think they brought torchlight LOL. So cheat one.

Next would be lunch time! haha, i only ate dry rations ): ! Because we can't find th solid fuels at first and when we found it, it's like no time alr. Next activity - Land Expedition! Led my CI Kumar and a female CI (idk who)! Lols. CI Kumar's shoe very stylo luh! Haha. You see all those bottom part of shoe, is his one. LOL. When reached th place stated "Hornet's nest" we did our horrnet drill and thunder drill. Walked and walked, ultra tired alr luh. They still played the bombing game and there's only me and yiliang in beatty. Then starting no one bomb us one luh, but SA CLEVER, come bomb us. And, we are bombed -.-! Lols. Travelled until th topmost of Pulau Ubin for like hours and saw th scenery. It's real - FANTASTIC. Saw Singapore and Malaysia and the quarry surrounded by granite rocks. Lols, learnt about some history here and proceeded and climbed downhill, time to go back to campsite! A real tiring activity. My group was left with like 30 minutes to get back to th campsite for th next activity and we were sure gonna be late - KAYAKING! ): omg. We were like running back but yusof can't make it, but we cheered him all th way. Eventually, we saw th NP site and went cheering, there's still a long way to go! x( climb back to th bahru campsite and saw that th other group were alr setting off for th expedition :O!

Changed to our wet activity clothings (thanks cyl for th shirt!) and it's kayaking time! I got paired up with Afiz. Lols :X He's a real damn funny guy. He keep wanting to capsize th boat and i was like screaming? Lol laaaaa ._. see! Then we paddled in circle, left, right, but can't go straight to th front! And when we were told to assemble, we keep flying off to nowhere and instructors got to come and drag us back haha :P i still haven't treat him for a meal :X Lols. We only kayaked for less than half an hour and got to put th kayak boats back to th kayak place -.-! th boats are real heavy! :X washed it and then it's wash up time. Washed myself up and then off to slack :D campfire preparations was real dumb. some just think they are leaders and when i gave suggestions, they doesn't listen at all. Lol. Then dinnertime! Ate with cai, xinxia and 2 other bendemeerians. This is th fullest meal i've got - canned food, maggie and many more. XINXIA IS ULTRA POWERFUL luh. Beware of her. Whoa, don;t see her small small uh, she have th power! She opened th curry chicken and splashed until my whole shirt, even th left side :O! LOL.

Next campfire, i'm quite high one luh. Then performance - siannn. lucky there's one guy who act sissy. if not die :D Lol. Was funnnnnn luh. Sang and sang. But i can be more crazy one! Th SA guys beside me are so DEAD. Seems weird being th only one singing :O CIs are uber hyper la. So fun being one. :X Next - Washup and debrief time. Haha. talked many things and some things th CI told us is "change your attitude. you can't change what's already planned for you, but you can only change your attitude you showed towards them. don't bring your feelings to th activities!" and many sensical stuffs, ate our sexy bananas while having debrief. Group photo next! Yay:D
Next sleep luh, i only sleep 3/4hrs only. woke up at times and stared at th sky. routine.
Second Day is really a better Day for me :)
