IP1 Adventure Camp in Bintan

1st day

BORING DAY. There were a lot of cliques etc and there were 3 13 people in my group 8, leaving me to sit with zexuan. :S He kept spitting saliva. I shan't elaborate more. Went to charcoal factory and we did mangrove reforestation. That was the only fun thing for the day. Coz we get to go under water and it's really very very fun. We used our legs to dig a hole and stick the young mangrove seedling in. Some of those kept floating away and i was like catching all of it. It's damn fun. The soil was exceptionally soft and we almost sank into it. Even though we got really dirty, it was worth it. (the shoes went from white to black with soil in my socks. Eww.) slept in tents.

2nd day

We had amazing race, coconut tree climbing and sandcastle building then dragon boating. Coconut tree climbing was fun. I CLIMBED ABOUT 3/4 LEH. It's really tiring and when i was in the middle i was already like can i go down. Coz there's nothing much for you to support your legs on and you have to use your hands. I was hugging the tree as though it were my only hope of survival. Then, the dragonboating was really tiring and there were blisters on my hands. The seawater kept going into my eyes and i couldn't see anything. Half the time i was closing my eyes while rowing and ended up hitting my fingers on the boat. We made it to this ulu island and it was bloody cold. After that was outdoor cooking. I almost cried. There was no teamwork. And then, we had night walk and we waited damn long for it. I was like sleeping on jesslyn and the others who bent down sleeping looked like piles of bags in the dark. When we started the night walk, i was at the front and before that the trainer scared us by saying that the island isn't very 'clean'. I was holfing on to my bottle tight. Haha. The sleeping part that night was -.-. Halfway through the night, it started raining and the tent was like blown from right to left back to front. But we were so tired we didn't bother. The water started seeping in from the sides and my feet were submerged in water. And i was squeezed to the side. Again. It's like if i turn i'd hit Mimmie. Whereas the other side of the tent seemed really spacious. Bleah.

3rd day

I held on to my bladder till morning (coz everyone seems reluctant to accompany me to the toilet.) And the toilet was like canvas sheet covering a deep hole. There was fresh shit inside, light brown ones, pee and blood with pads. Yuck. It was freezing in the morning. We left the tent site after that and I ended up sitting at the back of the van and Mrs Chua's really fun to be with. We played a lot of games and guessed the mysteries. CIP in school. Language barrier. Mountain climbing. Before the climb, Jesslyn and i went toilet with the long queue and ended up being asked to pee behind the toilet around the bushes. It was damn funny. We were like 'OK now it'll be over soon. Don't care la. 123 we go down ah.' And we were so close to mother nature for once.  The climbing up part was tiring when you had to pull yourself up. But it was quite memorable. Darius and Horatio help me throughout the first half of the climb, then Jesslyn and i went to the front and we got ourselves to help with. Sengjoe went the wrong way up and got stuck. everyone told him to stand up and he was like 'NO!!! I can't!' Hilarious. On the way down, HOWEVER, *rolls sleeves up* Zexuan + Sengjoe. You finally know what hell means. We bickered all the way down and zexuan paired me up with sengjoe and all the bloody shit. YUCK. And he keep cutting in between me and jesslyn. He did help Jesslyn quite a bit but also made her fall a lot of times. AND whenever he's about to fall he'll hold on to my bag and almost make me fall with him. MORE THAN ONCE.  Seng joe tried his 'flying fox' thing and ended up almost tumbling down the mountain. Retard. He even made zexuan and jesslyn fall. When i asked zexuan to go to the front to help, most of the time he practically LEFT ME TO MY OWN DEVICES. Bias. What kind of shit is that? That's why, don't count on guys. Going up was okay but when down, it's very slippery and difficult.Especially with my experience last year breaking my tooth, i was struggling yet there was no one in front to help me. And with all the noise that zexuan and seng joe was making, i gurantee i'd have killed someone if i were on flat ground. After that was fire flies watching. It's kind of retarded coz we ony see some lights in the dark. And we were guessing Mrs chua's mystery at the back of the bus so when we went down, we didn't pay much attention to the fireflies.The night was awesome. Hotel!!! I was finally clean for once. Though i waited damn long for my turn to bathe.
4th day
CIP in orphanage, visiting some place where the locals live in, campfire. The campfire was quite ok, very dark, see nothing. But the fire's big and they prepared fireworks for us!!! We went to a shopping centre to buy stuff for the orphans and the stuff there are quite cheap. Just that the money stinks coz it was all wet in my bag. Jesslyn and Jamie came over to our room to talk at night and Miss chua came in to check. Jesslyn immediately hid into my blanket  coz it's lights off already. In the end Miss Chua joined in our chat. It's damn funny. Anyway, changing seats after hols!!! YAYYYY. We chatted till 3am and after they left, gracia and i talked about 2B for like 30 minutes. Next morning we were all late.
5th day
Visited fishing port. Wrote the parent letter thing. Miss Chua shared her experience and whole of 13 were very emotional and cried. Mrs Chua shared her experience the day before and plus Miss chua's, you just can't help but lose control of your tears. Went home after that.
