hihi... juz came back from my kayaking camp and expedition... really a fulfilling 5D4N camp... and i got 1-star and 2-star cert... hahax... really satisfied :)
actually the most fulfilling part is the expedition round palau ubin... initially we were supposed to set off at 8.30am... but due to some delays and watever u think it is, we were two hours late and far behind schedule... and oso we were supposed to use the single plastic kayak (which is the dancer kayak), but in the end we used the double salom kayak made of fibreglass, which is faster and has better forward traction... actually while kayaking, i really used all my energy to pedal forward... but i juz cannot understand why it is so slow... i'm really sorry for my inefficiency... but later when i kayaked with jack, he thought a technique that allowed me to pedal faster... and it worked... hahax... really felt quite nice pedalling with him
however we pedalled so fast that we almost overtook our expedition leader, dickson... then we started chatting with him... hahax... it seems that his favourite question is: "What do u think my age is?"... and we got a shock when he said he is at our age... omg... he got 3-star and planning to take 4-star next year... hahax... maybe i can meet him at NUS cos he's taking NUS H3 module, which is Basic Physical Chemistry... hahax... then after that we kept pedalling non-stop towards Corny Island for our lunch, which is sandwich... and it happened that the mobile server down there is Maxis, which is a Malaysia mobile phone server... hahax... i kind of understand that cos we are really near Johor... after that i pedalled with Shu Heng and although we were quite slow, we managed to reach our destination, which is Pasir Ris Park... then we camped there for the night
the next day (which was ystd) Jack and i woke up at 5am to perform our sentry duty cos have to look after our double salom kayaks, spray deck, buoyancy vest and our pedals... then Jack played his hp music and it somehow acted as an alarm clock... hahax... Yan Hao was rather pissed off with that "alarm clock"... then at 8.30am, we set off back to Changi Beach, and i'm with Jack again... hahax... so the total distance from Changi Beach round Palau Ubin and towards Pasir Ris Park is 18.3km... and the total distance from Pasir Ris Park back to Changi Beach is around 3km... hahax... the journey back is really short
in the end the aftermath of the expedition is sunburn and more sunburn... hahax... i'm oso affected too... Aaron is the funniest... hair oso got sunburn... wat a joke
actually this 5D4N kayaking camp made me noe many people, especially Dickson, Darren, Eileen and Chris... and hahax... hope i can go back and kayak again to practise my skill... and i didn't noe that my cousin is oso a kayaking instructor in Changi Sea Sports Club... hahax... heard he got 3-star... so maybe i can learn form him... hahax :)

finally i'm blogging for the first time in more than a week... hahax... really no time to blog... always going out and then i'm tired... hahax :)
monday went to hand in $160 for the remaining amount for the kayaking expedition... so that means it costs a total of $270... wahhhhhhh... that's really expensive... but for the sake of the fun and experience, it's worth it... then after that jun an, joel, michelle and i went to the amy market to buy the stuff for the kayaking expedition for everybody... hahax... we bought 10 solid fuel holders, 10 solid fuels, 10 sets of mess tins, 4 pairs of commando gloves and whistles... quite hectic... i muz say
after that we went to sheng siong supermarket at ang mo kio to buy the foods for the kayaking expedition... wahhhhhhhhh... legenddddddd... it's really a joker... the supermarket pathway is really narrow... FIERCEEEEE!!! in addition, we bought 30 cans of luncheon meat, 24 packets of instant noodles, 8 boxes of cereals, more than10 cans of campbell soup, more than 10 cans baked beans and oso more than 10 cans of tuna.... wahhhhhhhh... that's really fierce... then it's really a joker... michelle went to borrow the trolley from the supermarket and loaded everything onto the trolley... and everybody were watching us pushing the trolleys to the taxi boot... hahax... that's really fierceeeeeeee... then we went to michelle's house to pack the stuff into plastic bags... hahax... total we spent more than $100, including the taxi fare... but the taxi fare was quite cheap... so quite insignificant.. hahax :)
finally i got into NUS H3 Maths programme... quite shocked actually cos i didn't even apply for it... i think the school applied for me without letting me noe... hahax... so now one step closer to my dreams... and muzdefinitely work hard to strive for my dream... hahax :)
jiayou jiayou jiayou!!! :)

after that joel, hek ming and simon went to jibin hse to bake the pizza and cook the spagetti... tricia was oso at jibin baking the cookies... then they really took legendddddddd longggggggg to cook the food... during the process of waiting i cooked the sausages and mushrooms for the spagetti... and we waited till around 4 plus... no choice lor... before ate lunch at aaron's hse and played tai-di
then finally when we are at ECP, we started eating... and the pizza is really nice... and we celebrated their bdae... jun an bdae present was the Adidas Teamgelist soccer ball that joel brought from china... wahhhhhh... it's damn cheap lor... S$14 only... and it's the real product... 14 panels combined together... but juz that it's knitted together instead of using thermal technology to attach the panels together... hahax... then played Atoms and Molecules and then went home at around 9 plus... reached home at 10.30pm
2dae msg jun an and jin hao to wish them happy bdae... then i msg jin hao hoping he'll be more "dohc-like"... and this is the reply he gave me
"Nope i dun wan to be more dohc le sian of the name liao. I wanna be more pc like."
ok... in case jin hao is reading my blog... which i think he won't... this is my reply: "if u want to be more pc, then be my apprentice... hahax"
