boo! i'm finally back from SLC! :D
still remember i was telling mummy that i was super scared of all the activities and insects. and i told her that i will be super happy when i'm on the way back to singapore. haha. but it turned out otherwise. SLC was
FUN!!
1311o7this day was the first day of SLC. actually it cannot be counted as SLC though. it should be LC instead. leaders from various school came to tj and we had some talks and games. blah blah. i was still feeling sick. ): stupid fever didnt subside despite me being a super good girl. i take my med regularly ok. (:
congress ended at around 5 and those who were going for SLC went to bathe and prepare and all. yes, and i finally decided that i'm going to SLC!:D oh, me yuen junmin and yulan are the in same group.
COOLBEANS!SLC started off by playing some games for icebreakers. we boarded the bus at around 0900pm and off we go to malaysia! stop several times along the way for toilet breaks and allow us to get some food so that we can eat while travelling. reach malaysia at around 0600 plus i supposed?
1411o7woohoo! today for coolbeans, the activity is caving! :DD i was stil very very scared because i thought that there will be lots and lots of insects climbing up my feet once we were in the cave. haaha. stupid me right. so i decided to put lots and lots of insect repellent. :x yays. and off we go into the cave. it wasnt as scary as i thought. and the cave is super spacious. there are stairs around and we climb like mad from one place to another. the uncle who was guiding us was super cute. he was trying his best to show us different formation caused by err. i dont know what is it called. well, those who learn geog should know. i failed geog all the way since sec 2. so pardon me!! :DD everything went fine, slow and steady. until we reach a place where we must slide down the sand. gosh, it freaked me out at first. but people started sliding and i was thinking i have to do it as well right. yep so i went down. it was ok just that my palms were burning due to friction as we have to use our hands to support ourselves while sliding down. ): i was so happy that i slided down. and u know what, the uncle said that we have to drop into a hole to the part of the cave where there is river. gosh. well we did it in the end because there wasnt any other route! water level in the cave was ok, so only our legs were wet. we walked and walked, the cave got darker, road get narrower and rougher bacause of the stones. we came to a point whereby we have to crawl through a narrow space. it looked scary but it wasnt. finally, we saw LIGHT!! omg, all of us were so relieved. we took photos and stuff. the uncle said, " ok, let's go back to our starting point." i stunned. OKKK!! so we got to go through everything again. but this time we use a different route. there is no climbing and sliding, just alot of CRAWLING. many many blue blacks appeared on my knees. but lucky thing is that i wore long pants. woosh. ohohoh, and there is this wind tunnel. very nice! the wind is super cooling and it due to some pressure. i dont know what. just very cool. (:
nothing much after caving. we just pitched our tent and do our stuff.
1511o7omg, the tent is full of insects and sand. well, but we still slept throughout the whole night. woke up at around 6 plus, washed up and had our breakfast.
today shall be abseiling and white water rafting! :D:D:D
first we went for abseiling. it was quite fun though but i didnt really like abseiling. ok im sorry! cus many people think abseiling was fun. haha. we have to climb all the way up to the top of the waterfall and then abseil down. i tried my best when it was my turn but i kept falling. there are so many bruises on my feet now. ): my shoes were very slippery and so i could not support myself. furthermore the waterfall made it even more difficult for me. so i slipped many times along the way. haha. but okok la. was really happy when i came down. :D
ok, i have to say that rafting was super fun!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
5 of us were in a raft with an instructor. he is very very nice. :) at first everyting was ok, water was calm and all. we set off after listening to instructions and safety precaution. we paddle forward and then there came the rapid. it wasnt really strong and i
did lock my legs. BUT I FELL! hahaha. i dropped into the water, the part where there was rapid. i struggled abit and let myself float. and i saw someone throwing safety line at me. so i grabbed and tried to swim towards the raft. but the current was too strong. so i was being swept away. haha. but i finally managed to climbed back into my raft and we continued our journey. oh yar, stupid bryan and his instruction tried pulling me off my raft. wah, luckily i didnt fall again ok! my group members wanted the boat to capsize. boo, i had already drank enough water. ): well, but capsizing was quite fun. i held on to someone else so as to prevent myself from sweeping down AGAIN!! oh and we did body rafting. wah!! the stupid stones were so near us. and i didnt know so i stretched my legs and hit the stone. the blueblack is super big ok. pain like crazy. yay we finally reached the shore which is our campsite.!
1611o7today is the last day of SLC. woke up at 6 plus as usual and started packing our stuff, had our breakfast and took a lorry to the caving area. oh yah, travelling in the lorry was super fun. hahaa. we were all standing in the lorry. its like riding in roller coaster. :x
we took a bus down for hot spring. ok, i was like very stupid la. i jumped around in the hot spring and knocked my knee against a big rock. so, my knee now has a very big cut. haha. qianying was like laughing at me. she said that people get cuts from all those activities and you got cut because u are relaxing in the hot spring!! *&@^#*&@$ OK IM SORRY! hahahaha. i didnt buy many stuff back to singapore because apparently, shopping trip was cancelled. so sad. reached singapore at around 9 plus. yay. the moment i reached home, bathe and SLEEP! the feeling of my bed is sooooooo comfy! :D
really never regret going for slc. FUN! :D
ok, off i go for gong zhu xiao mei!
