ReflectionsTADA!! I'M BACK!!!! YAY!!!! Kota Tinggi was an eye-opener lol. I'll talk abt it below, first I'll talk about today =D Anyways I went Vienna Restuarant at United Square today. Buffet!!! Omg!! After 4 days of starving myself, I ate like a pig today lol! There's juz too many good food! Shark's fin soup, Buddha Jump over the Wall, beijing duck, crabs, crayfish, choc fountain+marshmallow, etc. I actually think I regained all the kg I lost during the camp! anyway after the buffet I bought a squash racquet(finally =D) at the sportslink there. I saw the basketball throw-in interschool contest there lol. Kinda funny coz the guys team completely owned the 2 girls team. After leaving United Square I headed wif my parents to my uncle's hse where we stayed awhile and talked while I played wif kieran and chloe. And and and and and, I got my hair cut after that lol! Super short now!!

Alright now for the Kota Tinggi Camp. Innova Expedition Leadership Camp. 3 days of expedition, 1 day of ermm... cleaning up?
Day1:
Reached school at 6.15am. Left school at 9+am -_-" By the time we reached the campsite was alrdy 1+/2+? We were in div C(harlie), C01, instructor Ping Wei, headed by none other than me =D the group leader! Wahahaha! our first task: trek up Gunung Panti. Insanity. I was carrying the 15kg expedition bag all the way to the campsite at the summit. It wasnt a 3-4 hours trek either. We trekked for over 7 hours. you can imagine trekking through all kinds of terrain, mud, rock, gravel. *shiver* We were trekking through the dark too, kinda scary XD had to hold hands while trekking...ok had to help others while trekking ;p eventually we reached the campsite at the summit. Through sheer determination or eagerness for survival, I don't know, but we made it. We reached the summit by 9/10+ completely dark. and guess what, we had to pitch our tents in complete darkness =X in the end we only got 3 tents up lol. We had our field cooking after pitching tents. Maggie mee, hotdogs and baked beans. Hell, it was almost screwed up. Poeple were forcing food into me, esp baked beans! god I totally loathe baked beans now. After dinner was lights out and sleeping. Nice stars that night. Extremely nice. the sky was filled with them.
Day 2:
Holy shit! I didn't sleep the entire morning. People had diarrohrea and were shitting practically everywhere on the summit. Literally, it was a mine field lol. tissue paper everywhere (hint: shit) stank like crap. We had to do area cleaning, and we did it, cept we avoided all tissue papers lol. Soon we were trekking back down, and thats when my stomach started crapping up like hell. It was so bad that I had to release my bowels halfway down after holding for so freaking long. Man! It was hell! I was so freaking weak while we continued trekking back to the resort. It's was practically paradise when I reached it, I ran str8 for the toilet and emptied myself again ugh. I was taking medication throughout that day. Felt totally strengthless that day and cindy had to help me do alot of things regarding leading. It was raining heavily when we were set to make for the Pelepah waterfall. Category 1, so the expedition was cancelled sadly. We ended up checking into the 'chalet' earlier and were allowed to do anything till 5+pm. of coz I had my bath and played some card games as well as a fortune telling game by kam hung, where my fortune was that I was gonna get the girl whom I love without meeting any enemy coz the enemy card was the last card! Yea and after dinner was our confidence night walk. A 3 min straight walk through partial darkness. It was practically dusk to me, I could actually see pretty clearly, to think yx was scared like hell before the walk. It was a good night sleep that day anyways, I mean on a bed, how bad can it be! It doesnt matter that 4 guys were sharing the single queen sized bed lol.
Day3:
IT WAS THE MOST FUN DAY THROUGHOUT THE CAMP!!!! WOOTS!!!! We started out with river cascading! and good thing we did that! the best class bonding activity ever! we were supposed to sit on a rubber tyre/tube and go down a series of rapids(very short length of rapids though) it was pretty fun, but the highlight was the games we played in the river itself! First thing I did was jump into the water and started splashing everybody! esp Vivien, who was asking for it hehe. soon everybody was wet, and we started playing with mud instead lol! was very very fun! after that we went to the johore river for our kayaking expedition. I teamed with clarabelle and siti(2 star). All I can say is we were the BEST team in 0811b hehe. clarabelle was kayaking for the first time and siti couldnt swim, but we end up being the fastest in the class. We went so fast that we overtook most of the first group people (grp6-10) and were right ahead during the expedition lol! It was similar for the return, though we rested more often since it was really tiring. But being fast has it's disadvantage. We ended up having to raft near the end point while we go in small groups to be dispatched to the end point as it could only hold 3 kayaks at a time. And we rafted very long indeed. so freaking long I swear I could fall alseep. Once we were up, we were allowed to buy stuff, and it was hell, coz instantly I lost over 70RM to my classmates while only spending 1.50RM on an ice-cream lol. We had our firefly cruise afterthat. Guess what ;p I caught a firefly! but too bad I had to let it go coz it was getting ticklish in my hand lol. the girls were so freaking excited lol! We were back at the campsite after that and we slept in tents that night.
Day4:
good sleep as well that night. samuel and me occupied an empty tent =D spacious indeed. well it was the last day. had some fun playing games with the class during breakfast. then we had this team dynamics where we had to get everybody on a poncho and turn it over while still on it. Painful experience, Vivien was squeezing my neck like a vice-grip lol. but eventually we managed to do it. soon we cleaned up and had loads of cam whoring. lol. We went home soon after that, but I didnt reached home till 7pm+

Instructor Ping Wei was awesome! he is sooooooo freaking lame, enthu and funny! " Love you deep deep!" LOL his fave phrase. SOmetimes he sounds like Jason lol. He impresses me alot actually, being able to get everybody going and motivated and laughing along, it's not that easy, really...
