:)

I'M BACK FROM THE CAMP, & FINALLY FINISHED UPLOADING ALL THE 80+ PHOTOS. There's actually 100plus, but I deleted some :) Camp was fun, with those bugs + insects + hot sun + weird food + team mates + sunburnt & more!

So first day in the morning, we reached school feeling quite excited. Haha, but our class was separated 'cause Mr Chow couldn't make it. Yeah, so 8 of us were in B4 & 7 of them were in B5. There were 3 divisions, A/B/C div. We're in the B DIV! At first some of us were quite sad that we got separated & have to join other classes, but I felt quite neutral 'cause can get to meet new people haha! :D

First day we got to the Johor River. Had lunch & started kayaking! Fun because it rained :D Yeah we went down to test the buoyancy of the life jacket, of course we were all wet already. Lol then the 180plus of us started kayaking! It was a 3-men kayak, so I went with Gabriel & Peggy. I can only tell you it's very shiok to kayak in the rain LOL. There's some point of time where the Instructors would ask all the kayaks to join together, & then stand UP together, quite scary but yeah it's a very nice view :D A whole line of people standing on their kayaks, holding hands at Johor River. Haha. We kayak-ed from afternoon till evening, our energy were all exhausted. After that, we had Firefly Cruise. Changed into dry attire, ate dinner, & set off to campsite, where we'll be sleeping. Forgot what we did at night, lights were at 11pm I think. The only vivid thing I can remember is 1/3 of all the campers were having diarrhea, so I accompanied some of the girls to the toilet. Lol then I saw a lot of people heading to the canteen, all were having diarrhea, so it's because of the egg we ate during lunch! Thankfully, I was perfectly fine. In the middle of the night, you can hear girls rushing out of their tents & to the toilet, situation was quite bad & there's one guy who went to the toilet 12times. Luckily, we had a toilet nearby. I heard the C DIV were staying on the summit of Gunung Panti, so those who had diarrhea had to dig a hole & shit on the mountain. Sounds amusing, but they were the real heroes! Also don't know if they had toilet paper or not -.-

Second day, we were supposed to climb Gunung Panti. So when we reached the first checkpoint, it started to rain heavily. Wore ponchos/raincoats, & we were asked to squat down, 'cause there was lightning! Gosh I was so worried, we are surrounded by trees! If the lightning struck one of the trees, we'd have been electrified or something. The raincoats served no purpose, all of us were drenched on the outside & inside. Haha but again it was a wonderful experience. Anyway I volunteered to be the summit leader, in the end we've to climb down since it was too dangerous, so quite sad lah. Can't get to watch the sunrise the next morning ): The maggi mee was supposed to be our dinner when we reached the Summit, yeah but we did the outdoor cooking near the campsite. Lights off at the Conference Hall, w aircon but terribly cold.

Third day, Waterfall Expedition! Again I was so excited about it. But it rained when we reached halfway -.- Climbed for more than 3hours already, then rained! Aiyo then we climbed back again. Lol anyway we managed to climb a mini waterfall along the way, so still okay lah. Quite slippery though :) mannnn I wanted to see the big waterfall so much D: After dinner, we had the Confidence Jungle Nightwalk. Basically we walk through the dark jungle w/o any torchlights, in groups of 4. Eh but I think it's not scary at all, HAHA most felt the same I guess. Lights off at chalet. Yeah, last night we got to sleep at the chalet! Not really those luxurious type, but it's better than nothing. So our group, 11 girls shared two beds LOL. Obviously it's not enough, so I slept on the floor. Not bad :D

LAST DAY! Did some low elements games, Indiana Jones, etc. I didn't participate 'cause I was quite exhausted, but I helped my group to capture some photos while they're having fun :D Had prize presentation in the afternoon, the Instructors did a video for us, with all the photos that they took of us going through the whole camp & music, very sweet (: So, A/B/C divisions combined together to join in the "Finale", did cheers & we left at 3pm! I did something quite stupid before I left, I said "Goodbye Kota Tinggi." Hahaha then some of them laughed. So we finally reached Singapore at 6pm plus, & got to school at 7pm. Took photos with Instructor Dani & all! Then left to meet classmates in the canteen, & we set off to Causeway Point for dinner. Had LJS! Talked/laughed/ate & we went home! :)

Sorry I tried to cut short this post but there's so many things that I wanna say. Yeah. I've this ambivalent feeling in me when I left Kota Tinggi. Haha wanted to leave so badly, but at the same time I wished the camp was longer. My Instructor was great, Instructor Dani! She's totally different from other instructors, she taught us so much, and the last night we (the girls) had a great chat with her at the resort. Too bad this was her last camp in AsiaOutdoors, all the best to her :) And yes, I'm finally back. This camp, I'll never forget. Learning how to step out of comfort zone is must, 'cause you can't always go the same group of people.

ASIA OUTDOORS :DDDDDDDDDD Guys go to their website okay! ;)
