[Bernice] *shakes my present for daniel*
Is it a giant pen?Okay i have no idea how she got that right with just the first guess
Hmm.. the most recent happening would be
ODAC Xmas BBQ!!
Haha, it was pretty fun
Entered pasir ris park from the car park instead of the usual route nearer to the MRT
Lol, went a bit huh cuz couldnt recognised anything
Found myself in the middle of a mangrove forest instead
Haha, was quite funny
Luckily I reached the end of the forest pretty fast and could recognise where I was
Our pit was pit 7, but I was at pit 30
But then I still reached there earlier than I thought cuz the pits are like clustered together
Not like in ECP during 10 000 steps to a healthy heart the distance between two pits was like 1km -.-
So anw, reached there and like around 5 ppl were there already
Started playing cards and stuff
Then start fire bla bla bla
The bbq was pretty good i guess
Cooked at first but later just ate
Haha
Turned out there were too much food (but that
always happens)
Oh yea, there was quite a bit of water bomb fight also
Didnt participate though 0.o Just stayed near the pit and continued eating haha
Had some sort of ambush
The guys went around hiding water bombs, making fake bases, sending in decoys
No wonder they are guys, so interested in war games 0o
But I just ate -.-
Gift exchange was quite fun as well
Got baby spoon and fork from roxanne 0o
And she
insists I bring it for future camps
OMG I JUST REMEMBERED WE ARE IN THE SAME OLC GROUP
Opps, now there really isnt any way lol
Then got milk choc from kheng soon, some soap gel thingy from kevin, coconut sweet from graci, and gingerbread man from hafeeza (which crumbled in a real sad state)
After that most of them went off to watch Avatar
Some of us stayed.. so we just talked and stuff
Turned out that tickets for Avatar was sold out, so they watched princess and the frog
But some of them said dont watch when they returned
Apparently they fell asleep during the movie 0o
So we went to the playground to play
And omg
Had so much fun there haha, especially with the slide
Played.. whats that called ar? Blind mice or sth
Damn fun haha, run here and there
I actually sweated in the playground, considering I didnt sweat during the bbq
(also shows how hot our pit was)
After that it began to rain =S
Talked a bit played I never
And everyone else went to sleep -.-
Well, sarah had to leave cuz she had training so jiali and I just accompanied her while she called a taxi
Hmm.. didnt sleep the whole night. Stayed at the pavilion to look after the bags (and two girls sleep there =.=)
The rest was at the.. empty shop house thingy? I dont really know what that place is
Hmm, there wasnt many people since it was raining so i just let everyone sleep
Eventually they woke up at around 8 i think
Went to have breakfast at macs then.. went home
Zzz early in the morning haha
But yeah
Apparently I fell asleep after dinner at around 6.. (yes my family eat dinner damn early)
When i woke up it was like 11pm
Went back sleep and only woke up at around 9am i think
Haha, replenished all the sleep that I needed
Oh well, I can upload photos in facebook liao
I have like 30 albums but only 700+ photos with me lol
[Roxanne] Must bring ar! Must ar!Haiz..生命里的难能可贵，就是生活中的平常

Im ponning vivant pre camp for this =.= Well, sometimes we just cant have the best of both worlds haha
Well, went out with 4A, like finally. But not much people came so bleah
Apparently Percy Jackson and the Thief of Lightning and Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire's Assistant are going to come out as movies. Yay, i read the books before haha. Actually the percy jackson one i didnt read the first book but read like book 2,3,4 cant rmb how many i read, but i guess i still know the major spoilers..
Watched My gf is a secret agent. Like omg so long ago one haha. Damn funny la. Eat popcorn until like damn full also, didnt need to eat lunch. Some of the corn like super sweet
So after that went upstairs to play guitar hero. Sucked like hell, but whats new. Had fun with songs like la bamba and beat it. And now i like rooftop.
[wennam] Wah rooftop wat 屋顶 arHad to carry furniture around in school again.. But now my arms are not as scratched as they used to be.. Cuz now i know how to carry the chairs properly from experience -.- Im not even sure if thats a good thing

Oh wells, I have been getting lots of sleep lately. Like saturated sleeping time. Somehow it reminds me of the time when i dont get much sleep, like PW or invest. Haha, i intend to enjoy this sleep to the max!

[yuting] Are you guys awake yet?
[me] noWell, woke up and heard like roosters 0o
Haha, the view in the morning is definitely more impressive in the morning. At night cant see anything i got a very pleasant surprise in the morning haha
Jiali and yuting went to wake everyone up but daniel and I were already awake by then..
Well, han breakfast. Some fried rice thingy and egg and tea/coffee. I wonder why i still remember
Hmm well, placed the stuff that we didnt need in the office and went to the start of the trail
So we started walking.. Saw some.. i forgot what we saw =.= cow i think
And we walk halfway then the guide called us back
zzz so we had to carry both our bags cuz not enough porters
Aiya walk walk walk like forever and its forever 10mins away from the next checkpoint
Then at pos1 quite epic
Everyone squeezed into the... hut thingy then break the hut
wah i think the guides a bit pissed
Then i knocked my head on the hut roof cuz its too short
So after that the guides decided that we should go cuz in rinjani, after 2 warnings (breaking the thing and me knocking my head), it means you should go already
So walk walk walk again until pos2, rest then walk again
Lunch was quite nice. We had like hot tea, and the weather is like super hot. Drinking that hot tea when you are quite high up and its cold feels very good. Drinking it in the hot weather feels more shiok
Well, had instant noodles for lunch, just that the vegetables more than the noodles. Heard about this kind of lunch from miss ng already.. Oh, then fruits as well.. Every meal they have fruits and i seem to eat the fruits for the juice. There is damn little water given can. Like 2 bottles or wat. I know there are limitations la.. but still.. And then the guide will offer us wafers each time we rest. But its like super dry! Everytime try eat our own happy food will just make us more thirsty. At some point my mouth really no saliva =.=
Like mr seet said, we have to have discipline when drinking lor. Never take water for granted 0o Now i know what to bring next time haha
Well, as we walked up, the air got cooler and it became nicer to walk (still tiring la of course)
But when we emerge out of the forest the view was fantastic.
Like seriously, its like all the geography textbook pictures but much more magnificent
And for a moment, I thought that it was all worth it
Aiya but the photos dont convey the true beauty of the landscape..
At pos3 there were monkeys also. Like a lot of them just surrounding the pos. There was one monkey spamming food like crazy like wont stop putting grass in its mouth one, damn fast. And will also get to see baby monkeys
And then it became darker and colder
And it became REALLY DAMN FREAKING COLD
haha take out windbreaker wear headlamp cuz we wanted to reach the crater rim at that night
Took quite long to reach the campsite. But when we got there the tents and everything were already set up by the porters. Take out all the warm clothing spam sia haha. The tent was pretty warm la. But outside is pure brrr
So ate reflected and slept. No time and energy left for reflection discussion and NR also..
Well, so i guess thats all..
Still have to go to school later for OGL meeting.. hmmm, Im not sure what to expect. Just hope there wont be any awakard silence haha
[ivan] why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it Living a strong life means being able to smile

*email*
The orientation theme is VjSPEARCA, some magic land thing. Our OG is Shenkuu and our element is the jungle, even though that's not an element.Haha, Im back! Paper blogged a little during the trip but, as expected, no time la haha. Only wrote during the first day on the plane there since it was the only time when we had time and did not use it to sleep..
Well, I suppose I should just post it now since Ill have to hand in the book later for teachers to look through the reflections 0o
Okay, now Im on the flight to Jakarta. Those in column ABC are like sleeping while DEF are like playing cards. Well, roxanne didnt manage to find her passport in the end =(
*oh yea the teachers are sleeping too. Guess who took a photo?*
Hmm, ate a bit of food already, now quite thirsty 0o The plane a bit like brunei one, but they dont have the small-tv-screen-every-few-seats, recorded radio, sweet, water and food zzz.
*Er random, PY in front of me playing pokemon poker cards*
At first I reached T2 at like 12, then turned out they were at starbucks -.-
When hafeeza came with the logistics in school she forgot to take banner 0o
So jiali went back with her to go get it. And of course the JCYT thingy that happened but I shall not publicise it here, not that anyone is reading this anw.
Then the zip on one of the bags holding the insulation mats came out. So like take dunno how long trying to fix thing. We tried using jackknife to pry open the thing, cuz strings here and there, but in the end also cannot. So we used duct tape instead.
Dilly dally until when we ate lunch it was like one plus. BK! Lol that was where we had PW lsat time. Renjie went AORWAHSHIOK over the tendergrill cuz its like... tender =.= Actually I go BK can only eat the chicken fish and tendergrill 3 types of burger only
*Random note: I like to hear people read out the "this is this cat" and "say gullible very very slowly" trick from the programme booklet! Damn fun XD"
So after that went T1 and camwhore!! Checked in, went into the gate and camwhore! (Not like i was in most of the photos anw fyi)
By the time we were in the plane I felt like sleeping liao. So I closed my eyes and at one point marvelled at how steady the plane was cuz I didnt feel like it was moving at all. So I enjoyed this moment for a few seconds and opened my eyes to find out that the plane wasnt moving at all. MLIA
[Okay so apparently later we have to transit, and dinner is at 2230. Yeah take some time to register that, its 10.30pm! Haha. Now is the prime time to take sleeping pics everyone spammig lol. Maybe I kena also. Haha.]
Wow, I finished 2 pages of teh exercise book liao. Reminds me of OBBD everytime I will be paper blogging while the others play bridge. Now everyone is either sleeping or playing cards. Or maybe eating, lol.
Oh, apparently Im the only one wearing army boots and every year there will be someoen who weres it. Oh well, I shall psycho myself into thinking that its 'lightweight and comfortable' as stated in the SS textbook. Except that I can already feel potential blister areas that are like confirm going to get blisters. Bleah I hope the thinkcer socks will prevent that.
Okay I really wrote hell lot even though nothing much occured. I guess thats what happen if you are bored. But next few days I doubt I will get much chance to do this so I should probably entertain myself as much as possible now. Later become OBBD style again, recall and complement with paper blog entries.Okay now Im on the second flight eating my chocolate roll, like bread then in the middle got chocolate cream. Haha, its more satisfying than I thought and I feel better now somehow, even though Im still thirsty and need go toilet. A bottle of water costs 10 000 down here. Haha, everytime we make joke about the currency here, and now we are really using it.
Anw, my packet of chocolate roll was like totally bloated, cuz of air pressure in the plane i guess. Reminds me of physics. PingYao wanted to burst it but scared later they think got bomb haha. In the end I couldnt open it zzz. Used a pen to poke a hole to let the air out then can open -.-
Haha, transiting flight was like quite fun lol. We were super pressed for time la! When the plane landed there was only about less than an hour before the next plane takes off, so we had to CHIONG!!
Ran from the plane to baggage collection then stone there quite long cuz of the queue. Halfway they opened another lane. Yay. Not sure if it was for us since they knew we were transitting. So we collected our luggage and had to go on a bus from the international airport to the domestic airport.
*Lesson of the day. The indonesia shutter bus door opens in the middle of the bus*
Waiting for the bus took quite some time. Then when we got up Mr Chow miracously produced AnW chicken. OMG damn nice! But I didnt eat cuz I didnt want my hand to get oily 0o
[Mr Chow] Woah you guys so easily satisfied by 5-piece chicken one ar
Anw, throughout the whole journey was like RUNNING! Felt quite good after all that inactivity on the plane. Ran from plane to baggage collectoin to wait for bus. Then from bus run to custom run to gate run to plane run until never take boarding pass haha! And we didnt realise they had names so now I have khengsoon's pass.
Oh, did I mention, the plane waited for us. Awww. The flight was delayed and they annouced that they were sorry for the delay cuz they were waiting for the Singapore passengers
So anw, we boarded the plane and went to look around for our seats which were like all scattered around the plane. Most of our seats have people seating on them 0.o
So the air stewardess just like help find empty seats let us sit there. So now Im sitting between random man and Mr Seet, who is sleeping. Haha, I was also sleeping before I woke up to eat and write this.
Kk now some of them managed to find empty seats and are sitting together playing cards -.- Bla, nothing much to blog for now. Hmm, maybe I can go sleep again haha.
*P.S. The bread did wonders. I really feel better now =) Eating rocks*
[I smell cigratte. This is a non-smoking flight. Im confused] Okay haha so thats all I have on paper. Lets continue =D
So, reached the lombok airport which is.. pretty small lol. Went toilet and some said the tap water is yellow. I didnt even notice haha. So we went on a small bus (this time the door open in the front haha) to have dinner at TIFA restaurant, which is this small eating place that has a creepy old man's face on their sign 0o
I still remember there was this corny soup during dinner as well. Okay haha that was random.
So after dinner went back to the bus to go to Senaru which took nearly 2 hours. Some time during the journey I kept moving and lying on PingYao, who was sleeping beside me and some time he started snoring/breathing loudly so we kinda interrupted each other's sleep haha.
The journey a bit creepy haha. Just a lot of turns at first. And the lighting wasnt enough to see colours so it was like watching everything in greyscale. And after that part there were some.. farms or housing thingy la, cant really remember.
So finally we reached Senaru and got given our room keys. It was quite cold. Shared a room with daniel. I found the room a bit creepy haha, but i guess thats only because i allowed myself to think that it was creepy. Bathed and went to sleep.
Oh, and there was like lizard shit on my bed zzz
And we slept with all the lights on lol.
*airport*
[me] Okay for destination address put Lombok.
*to those not going OT* You guys put NewYorkLaugh and the world laughs with you. Snore and you sleep alone.

The route to the summit was tough
The cold wind did not once stop
Some of us were deterred
Yet, this plant is easily the only living thing I saw thriving up there
in this harsh environment.
Are there some things we can learn from it?
More importantly, it might have saved my life as well
