TUESDAY:

Went to school early in the morning for Temasek Congress. Had talks talks and more talks. I slept late the previous night and many other nights before plus waking up early in the morning. And then I am greeted by so many talks. They made me want to sleep, even though the speakers were engaging. It wasn't their fault, it was mine. It was damn boring. Even the games weren't that fun. So let's get over the boring stuff. Haha.

Anyway, I ended up in Coolbeans group C3. And guess what? Yu Lan and Cui Shan were in the same group as me. That was damn cool. Three BGPS 6/2'02 people were in the same group. Varun was also in Coolbeans. So that means four 6/2 people in group C. Haha. And if I am not wrong, we were also the only 4 BGPS people at SLC.

At night we finally set off to Malaysia. The coach ride was long boring and it was a BAD place to sleep. I hardly got any sleep. I kept shifting positions.

Everyone waiting for the coach to arrive.
Trust me, it was dark and late at night.
The lightning and photo editing made it look bright.

WEDNESDAY:

So we finally arrived at Ipoh. Check out the mountain, rivers and the wilderness. GET CLOSE TO NATURE. xD

Mountains

More mountain

River?

River and mountain

Mountain

OK, I didn't take anymore photos since all the activities involved water and I didn't waterproof my camera. Anyway, 1st up, CAVING !!!

Caving was well, interesting. I mean it was the 1st time I went into a cave. So well, interesting. The guide was really funny. The cave was DARK!!!! In there, when all the lights were turned off, it was pitch dark. Exactly the same when there was a blackout at TPJC's Black Box. I'm sure all the Theatre Studies people would remember how cool the blackout was. Total Pitch Darkness! So, lesson learnt? You'll die without a torch light in there. Plus I suppose there isn't any reception. So imagine you are alone in the cave and suddenly your torch dies on you. Say goodbye to the world =D! Anyway, at certain points of the cave, we have to crawl down on our knees, and some times we even needed to practically swim cause it was so low. Haha.

After that, we went back to camp. We took a lorry, and it was cool. Everyone enjoyed the lorry ride the most. There were like trees and the branches so all of us had to duck down dodging the branches or else they will smack into your faces.

To everyone's surprise! The toilet at our campsite was OPEN AIR !!! It was like 3 people have to bathe together and it was open air so when you bathe, you can see people walking around you. Plus, the girls and guys' toilets were very close to each other. However we survived. Sorry I forgot to take a photo for you guys. xD But you guys can imagine!

Night walk was boring an pretty much a waste of time. Night walk = Mozzie feeding time can only attack him. But in the end . It was damn funny. Cause all of use applied mosquito repellent and Vincent who was standing in the center, did not. So he was complaining that the mosquito could not bite anyone, so all the mozzies Teng Han saves the day when he took out his repellent. Haha. I think Teng Han brought his repellent every where he went. xD


THURSDAY:

Had waterfall abseiling 1st. It was pretty much boring. I felt down twice and got my fingers chopped off. OK i was just kidding. My right fingers got hurt, but not that badly that they got chopped off. The water kept splashing into my face and then my contacts went out of place.

4th and 5th fingers. (this is the 3 day after the cut)

OK, ignore the black nails. xD

Then it was the most fun activity of SLC. Water Rafting!!! =D we had 7 people altogether on board. That includes the captain. All the wind in the air and waters in your faces. All the people falling off the raft except me. YES! Vincent emphasize in his blog that I DID NOT FALL OFF! Everyone planned to capsize and before I went over to the side, everyone else fell off except the captain and I. They whole gang pangseh me! It was damn funny cause everyone who fell off got saved by another boat. Now I regret not falling off too. Though Jun Min said falling off isn't that nice, she ended up drinking a lot of water.

At night we had campfire! It was pretty fun, but I almost lost my voice from all the screaming and shouting. They had stupid games but they were really funny, except for those who had to play the game. Then we had an impromptu game suggested by a camp in charge. He made the 4 groups send out the hunkiest guy telling them it was a competition to see who is the hunkiest male. But after they left to take off their tops, he told everyone that it was a competition to see who had the longest armpit hair. HAHA. The guys must be damn embarrass after the game. Vincent did coolbeans proud! Haha. So now you know ...

There were also dares at the campfire and one 3 people repeat the MOCCA advertisement that Gernaine thinks it is really funny. It was really crappy cause they changed the advertisement to introducing the campsite.


FRIDAY:

Finally it was the end of the camp! No more bathing in open air bathrooms, no more sleeping in tents, no more getting bitten by mozzie, no more washing plates, no more FUN !!!

Anyway, speaking about washing plates. It seems like I wash a lot of plates every meal. For the 1st meal, Yong Xiong and I end up washing the plates and cups cause the queue was long so we decided to take over and help everyone else. Then I found out that he was trying to escape pitching the tents. After that, every meals we play Indian Poker to determine who would wash the plates. Even though I didn't lose, I always end up helping people wash up cause I feel bad letting people wash my plate for me. Teng Han was really unlucky. He ended up washing plates every time we played Indian Poker.

Anyway, after clearing up the campsite, we headed to the hot springs. It was comfortable and we had proper toilets! Though I felt that the hot spring weren't really worth it. I soaked in there for barely half an hour. I mean, perhaps shopping was more worth it. I brought 200 odd RM there and I brought back 200 odd RM home. I barely spent any money. I think it didn't even reach 50RM.



SLC was a fun experience. There people there were fun and a great bunch. Sadly we didn't make a contact list. I suggested it to Evelyn, but I think it slipped her mind. I should have reminded her. I think SLC would be an unforgettable experience for me where new bonds and memories were formed.


And to end this post ...

ME !!! in my tent. Yes I'm sun burnt!
