Hate the fact of how I have been writing how busy I was every time when I'm back to xanga. Well, honestly speaking, I'm still very busy, probably this most busy period in my entire poly life. Time really flies, I'll be going to AMECO Beijing for my 6-week internship next month. Nevertheless, I still got some time for my own entertainment. AND, Valentines Day is coming! Still thinking... Thinking to put everything together and give as one. Hmm.

Ever since the start of the year I've been thinking of what my future holds, maybe I've grown a little more mature haha. Being a 18-year old, it can sometimes get a little confusing of what you actually want and what you'll eventually get in future. Perhaps I'm starting to see the light in the long run, but well, think less, concentrate of what I am now and work hard to achieve it. Sometimes I just feel that Engineering is not my line but some practical sessions still ignited my flame of passion for aircraft maintenance. Overall, I just like the way how plane works, and frankly speaking, I prefer to operate this huge metal bird rather than maintaining it, though working in an airport hangar has always been my dream. Hais, think less, do what I'm supposed to do now. Career.

I admit that I'm still a very immature boy, definitely still not a man yet. Little exposures, insecure, flirt, no everything or anything, and I'm still dreaming in my world of fantasy sometimes. Going to gym can only build my physical attributes, but not my mind. Can get a little too upset sometimes over little things, but I really expect nothing in return, I'm still a legless bird in reality. We still need time, and who I am to judge you, to what you say or do. A young boy still growing up. A tough nut to crack, love.

Family is the only thing that I should treasure more in 2012, since I'm going to NS soon next year. Can feel the disappointment of my father when I told him that I'm not going out with him in the weekend because I'm too busy with my work. Also, I sometimes cannot deny that I prefer HK more than SG. HK is still where I belong and the feeling for the piece of land is something that I can't explain. Perhaps all my family members are all there for me, especially this cute little cousin haha. My moral support.

Hmm, seriously feeling a little weird talking about some sentimental personal thoughts after 2012 has set in. Well, I'm still me myself, songs can still be found within my radial distance hehe. Dramas are still one of my favourite entertainment, though I've lesser time for it now. Sports is still something that I'm involved with every week, at least once a week, be it hitting the gym or afternoon jogging. Looking back to 2011, the most awesome group of people that I've met is still DJY 2. It feels like I've known them for very long although I don't even know who they are in this period of time last year. Everything changes in a year. Let's see what 2012 has.

Holy shit!~ I almost forgot that I still have my Xanga account excluding all the socal media sites that China has blocked. 7 days without Facebook and Twitter haha! Well, I'm still surviving well here hahaha! Anyway, I'll be back at night after my meeting later for the YinXiu Primary activities and my dinner. I shall bloggggg about the fun that I had. Really don't feel like leaving this wonderful place to break myself from the outside world. Cya later man, bye!

I was somewhat a little bit reluctant to attend this camp at first as I was still feeling a little tired after the 6D5N FO Camp at St John’s Island. But later then I realized that the camp was getting fun and more interesting as the days went by. Haha, so below is the itinerary for my camp!

Day 1
I woke up at 6am in the morning and quickly had my breakfast before heading down to Serangoon MRT station as I was supposed to meet Xinyi and Dexter there at 6.45am! They were all punctual and it’s very easy to see them in the platform, since they’re at the last few carriages. However, Xinyi and I had to go first unfortunately as time was really against us while we’re waiting for Yahui. Luckily all 4 of us managed to reach the jetty on time and catch the ferry to Sekupang. On the way to Sekupang, I was repeatedly bombarded by the examples of Fuzzy Wuzzy game. I was constantly figuring the alphabetical order of the letters in the ferry but I still couldn’t get the game. Well, I thought that what I need then was more time. So when we reached Sekupang, there were many different ferry operators and everyone was like so desperate and wanted you to buy a ticket from them. This reminded me of Shenzhen, the conditions were the same, and it’s just that there were many different taxi drivers which I thought they were con men LOL! We then walked for 5 mins to another small jetty to take a ‘motorized sampan’ to Telunas beach. That ride was close to 2 hours and since everyone was asleep, I started to take some ‘nice shots’ from them haha! I was really startled when we reached our campsite, because the people there were so nice! They gave us a cooling wet tower and a welcome drink! XD The camp facilitators were introduced to us and we were then briefed on the activities for the day. As we were being ‘categorized’ as 1A, we’d be one of the 2 groups that would spend our night in the jungle. We had to pack a lot of things into our backpacks, including essential items like water and hammock. Shortly after that, we went to have our lunch which was not too bad, before taking another motorized sampan to the jungle. The earlier part of the jungle was relatively easy to hike, as we only have to walk on a flat land for 2-3 hours? The exotic part came later in the hike. We had to climb up a relatively steep slope and step onto very slippery rocks at the river bank to proceed to our campsite for our stay. The journey wasn’t that smooth and a few of my group mates fell… But I’m really certain that we were all very elated as we were nearing our campsite! =D The facilitators taught us how to tie our own hammock and a shelter-like cloth (which I forgot what it’s called) onto a tree. I always prefer to have girls in my group as they’re all very good cooks! I seriously don’t know how they managed to estimate the amount of water needed for such a relatively huge amount of rice and corn. And of course, we’d to really thank the helpers for helping us to start fire for cooking. It really true that everything would be tasty to you if you’re very hungry. I used to hate the can of tomato sardines, but when I ate some of it again, it just tasted heavenly lol! Since I didn’t contribute anything to cooking, I chose to wash the dishes and clean them~ (Must have team spirit! XD) So we turned in pretty early that night as we’ve got nothing else to do, especially in such a dark jungle without any lights. Since all of us were pretty much awake when we’re lying at our hammock, we’re communicating to each other by shouting across the forest! It was very fun as we understand each of us better after chatting haha! And that marks the end for Day 1~

Day 2
After all, I was sleeping in an unfamiliar environment then, thus, I didn’t sleep that well on the previous night. We were all looking forward to that morning because we would be going back to our paradise! Breakfast was instant noodles with some hotdogs and mushrooms. And again, it was all done by the girls, therefore, I went to wash the dishes together with Keen Hoe and Felicia. Upon having all our stuffs packed, it’s time for us to set out! XD The weather was really very humid, and I was already perspiring before I started my day LOL. Walking back to the waterfall was somewhat faster than we’re walking in on the previous day, perhaps because we’ve more energy and expected a longer distance. Nevertheless, walking down the slope wasn’t an easy task at all. We’ve to support and look out for one another constantly in case anything happens. Everything went on smoothly fortunately but the walk back to the endpoint of the forest was a little too boring I guess? Well, we can only interact with one another at the back of the line. It didn’t took that long for us to reach Telunas beach, and this time round, there’re still cooling wet towers! XD The feeling of wiping your face with the wet tower was amazingly awesome! We did the jetty jump next after grabbing a life jacket each! The normal height of the jetty jump wasn’t that high and jumping in was really cooling and fun! I think I jumped for like 4 times from the normal height? Ramen and I then decided to challenge the higher one which was apparently 3-storey high. I didn’t wanted to go up at first but since this is my only chance for jetty jump, why don’t I give it a try haha! I stood there for close to 15 mins before I finally dared to jump down. What I can say is that my ass really hurts! =X I’d my most awesome bathe after that, one reason was that I could wash off the dirt from the jungle on my body! Another reason was that Darren was bathing beside my cubical, and since I brought my mobile phone into the bathroom, we decided to sing out loud while bathing. The first particular song that we sang was Boston. It was like ‘You don’t know me, you don’t even care…” then we bursts out our laughter real loud! =D It would be damn embarrassing if someone is waiting outside the bathroom! XD We then had our second lunch, before proceeding to our next activity- Raft Building. We took quite some time to build the raft, as we’d to plan everything and consider its buoyancy. I wasn’t feeling good at that time as all I could do is nothing, because I didn’t know how to tie knots. All I could do was manual labour~ =X Ramen and Darren were the kayakers and they were supposed to pull the raft with everyone on, and at the same time, people sitting on the raft were given oars to paddle. That wasn’t an easy task as everyone was giving different instructions, so it was a little bit puzzling. Nevertheless, we still managed to pull through with the help of Mike! Kudos to Mike! =D We also caught the first sunset that we saw in Telunas! It was damn nice! XD Dinner was quite long for that day as we were clueless for the night activities that we’d be having. We proceeded to the beach for some ‘kampong activities’. Some games were pretty fun, like the one that people have to squat and aim the pencil into the bottle. But I think that the best throughout the whole night is none other than shooting stars! XD We were all throwing honey stars onto Ramen’s face that was coated with liquid chocolate! =D It was damn funny, and his face managed to stick 125 pieces of honey stars! Since the other 2 groups were away to the jungle, the bunks were very quiet. We then played different songs to somewhat keep the whole group awake but I guessed that was some unwanted noises lol..

Day 3
We planned to watch sunrise together as a group on the previous night, but only a few of us were there at the jetty, staring into the sky. Well, I would say that the morning activities a little too boring. Let’s make the amazing race as the highlight of the Day instead! After having our first lunch as a whole of Camp A, we were briefed on the amazing race round the beach. The first station was to build a raft again.. And this time round, we’ll have to carry two people who’ll be sitting on the raft from a flag to another. Though we were the last group to complete the first task, we managed to catch up in the second station! (Thanks to Xinyi’s hawk eye) We were being mislead at first as we didn’t know which direction we would have to head if the flag was at the West side of the beach. But thanks to the sunset on the previous day, we managed to find our way there. The third station was one of the main ‘pillars’ of the race itself. Xinyi and Yahui had to sit on the kayak, and the remaining members have to really push them from the shore of the bay all the way to the red floater which was near the jetty. It seemed that it’s a little far but we managed to complete it as a team! =D The fourth and fifth and sixth station were like ‘mini games’. We had to fix a puzzle, match flags to countries and translate from native Indonesia language? to English. We completed those stations pretty fast and meanwhile, we hydrated ourselves with some freshwater. The seventh station was one that really needs total concentration as we had to count the total amount of wooden poles on the right of the walkway. All of us had different answers, except for Alexis and Ramen who got 2076. I counted 2148 poles with an error of plus minus 100 haha? The eighth station required teamwork as everyone had to take part in the activity. We had to hit a volleyball for 10 times continuously, and we managed to get it after a couple of tries! =D The ninth station was a rather frustrating one. We had to climb up to the hilltop and complete 20 over sets of tasks. Muina suggested to finish reading all the instructions at first, but we didn’t want it as we thought that it would be too time consuming. Therefore, we did and tried on different tasks before we read the last set of instruction. We could have gone down to the beach if we had listen to Muina at first. The instruction was pure simple, we only had to write out the names of the team members and we could go. I reckoned many of us were really frustrated upon seeing this. Nonetheless, we went back down to the beach to play some ‘musical instruments’ in the tenth station. We were tasked to create a song by blowing the mouth of different bottles after filling it up with water with different levels. I was the middle tone if I’m not wrong, and they kept laughing at me just because I was funny when I was blowing. Well, frankly speaking, I was just trying to entertain the group haha! XD The eleventh station was another ‘mini-game’, nothing much to say. The main highlight of the race was the twelfth station, which was also the last one. We had to hold a hollow pillar which was around 1.8m-1.9m vertically in the beach. 2 table tennis balls were placed into the pillar and the purpose of the game is to scoop up the table tennis balls from the top of the pillar after filling water to the brim. That wasn’t easy as there were many holes round the pillar. Therefore, each of us has to push our fingers firmly onto the holes to prevent the water from flowing out. It didn’t work at first, so we tried again and switched our ‘manpower’. I went down to the bottom of the pillar and really push my fingers real hard against the pillar, with my eyes closed as the seawater was irritating my eyes! =( But we succeeded in the end after a few tries and we’re the first group to complete this station! We were so happy then and we decided to help the other groups with their pillars too! And it’s really good to make a good friend like Din in one of the groups who thanked us for helping! =D It feels really good to help people with their stuffs haha! The dinner was a real epic one, as we were given pizzas with our own desirable toppings! I didn’t had that though as I was feeling pretty full. But the banana roll and passion fruit pudding that we had in one of the days were totally awesome!!! =P I think that was the most enjoyable dinner that we had as our group was so HIGH! We’re singing on the dining table like no one’s business! XD Following that, we’d a debrief and we’ve to gather in a big round circle to tell each other in a solemn tone that ‘Brother/Sister, this is a solemn occasion.’ Well, I guessed most of us were like laughing away after our turn haha! That’s because it’s just too funny! XD That night really ended very fast, which most of us didn’t want to! =( We shared our secondary school’s life and Darren taught us palm readings! It was so cool! And we played truth or dare afterwards which was also extremely funny!!! Especially for all the dares haha!

Day 4
Saw a very nice sunrise when I came out from my bunk, and started to take snippets of photos before leaving such an awesome place! The ferry and sampan ride was like way shorter than the first day’s ride! Many funny happenings on the ferry too, like Xinyi and Dexter LOL. There were some funny stories from Felicia and Lydia too~ Well, all good things have to come to an end. I seriously feel that for this camp, all the TWT lessons were worth attending! XD And I guess I wouldn’t forget this awesome bunch of people who spend the most awesome 4 days of 2011 with me! If possible, I hope that the camp was made 10 days long! =P
