yo! i think i'm sick. (not!)
throat very irritated.. T_T
now i sound like a duck. >.<
so sien.. ah..
march holidays over... currently suffering from "holiday-blues", as quoted by pastor chin.
ah nvm, the holidays wasn't all that great anyway.
so firstly,

AQ Expedition Camp.
friday morning to sunday afternoon.
just started camp, during bag inspection, do 75 push-ups ler.
can't even remember why.
but we went to a variety of places.
let's see... started at gm, walked [yes you read right] to eunos mrt.
the seniors were late in planting the next MGR.
running around like idiots at the station looking for that teeny-weeny slip of paper.
then walk to bedok reservoir. this part seriously pissed me off.
when we reached there, could not find that teeny weeny piece of paper again.
15 minutes later, saw the seniors strolling in.
but still no MGR. so we took a rest, and anyway it was nearing lunchtime.
then came the call to fall in. my w.o, 'er hua bu shou', whole lot knock it down.
reason: we no initiative to call the seniors for hints.
when i heard that, i was wtf?
even if we did call, the most probable answer will be, "Keep searching".
so why call. next they questioned the accuracy of our plotting.
they seem to have a retort to everything we say.
i didn't really see the point in arguing on. and a half an hour lunch break.
including cooking, eating and clearing up. field cooking.
i guess nobody really had the appetite to eat, belly-fill of fire.
at bedok reservoir, kayaking. Paddlez.
started drizzling, super shiok. cooling.
as soon as we cast off, the rain stopped. super suddenly. like *this*. aye.
next 2 hours, monotonus paddling. zzz.
next from there, cycling. 5+ pm.
next destination was east coast park, via changi village and through changi airport runway.
and the best part was, i took a wrong turning at pasir ris, went all the way to the end of pasir ris park.
wasted a bloody precious 2 hours.
i felt damn guilty la, and my teamates were all fatigued.
thanks for holding on.. amos, gary.
when we finally reached east coast, 2+ am.
about 4 hours after the 1st group. cool rites? =)
after that, camped there. 2 hours of sleep. 2.
i cant really start with the next day, as its already the next day.
but the point is, from east coast, took bus to king albert park.
we had another companion from there, kenneth.
from king albert park, next destination, Zhenghua Flyover.
i remember that route especially vividly.
Dairy Farm Rd. sparstic name.
from that dairy farm flyover, led into BKE.
now i know why it was supposed to be off-limits.
there was no proper route. overgrown with plants.
i got a few lovely scratches on my leg from that particular route.
and stained shoes.
when we finally reached, the seniors told us that there was another route underneath.
but somehow, i was too tired to care.
the rest of the day i passed like a zombie.
kenneth did most of the plotting, and after we 'allied' with league1, daye.
i just devoted all of my remaining vitality in keeping awake, and walking on.
Toa Payoh, finally the checkpoint, Little India MRT.
there, while searching for the next mgr, we called the seniors.
called u to go back to school via public transport.
at the moment, everyone's spirits lifted. literally.
but man, did that smile turn upside down the moment we reached school.
everyone officer and senior had a 'dulan' face
and you don't have to be a genius to figure out we were in deep sh*t
reason: uber lack of teamwork and commitment.
ran dunno how many rounds the quadrangle, fast and in step.
imagine trying to coordinate 24 half-dead people. riddiculous.
dinner was 8 pieces of bread for 24 people.
i was so damn pissed after that exercise, i just snapped at amos when he offered me the bread.
i didnt mean it, and everyone was fuming as well.
i rmb that time i said, (in chinese) "wtf, don't give me also i dun give a damn in hell"
but eventually they fed us.
then, i didnt know whether my anger has subsided yet.
i only know i was very very hungry.
after that wash up and sleep. the concrete floor of the classrooms never felt this comfortable. ^^v
last day, archery.
i seriously screwed at archery.
could be fatigue, slack, lack of focus or simply no skill.
fired like 8 arrows and none hit the board. damn sienjp.
after that swimming at kallang swimming pool, and finally...
BREAK CAMP.
terrible sore throat then, and slight flu.
i ate nasi lemak at the hawker centre, and a milkybar after that.
but the tastes were like distant. sobs.

okays, finally thats it for the AQ camp. really took damn long sia.
wednesday started, ended on sunday morning.
