i'm back!!!
hey just came back from the expedition yesterday night. was really dead tired liao so din have time to update my blog. haha really feels nice to be kayaking after such a long time. good to have gotten myself a nice tan also, although also got a little sunburnt, some abrasions on my feet and also a new "life vest" on my body.
on the 1st day, on reaching the meeting place, i felt quite strange as all ard me were unfamiliar faces. felt a bit out of place but it all got a bit better as we started playing volleyball. after tat i got to noe my grouping and was quite sian as there was no one in my group which i noe. then there were a bit of games, then the potluck dinner, the briefing and then finally to rest to prepare for the start of the expedition the following day.
the next morning, after washing up, we went for breakfast which was prepared by the fnb pple. then suddenly Jinlong brought out a tray of eggs and we (the alumni pple) decided to bring them to the canteen and ask 1 of the canteen uncle or auntie to help us cook the eggs. the kind auntie from the muslim stall agreed to help us and it was the 1st time i saw 10 half-boiled eggs all together inside 1 plate. looks quite disgusting but then taste quite nice actually. after our very nourishing breakfast, we set off for kallang.
after reaching kallang, we then prepared for launch. i was given a single kayak as my initial doubles partner was sick and din come for the expedition. haizzz tink i really "ming fan tian sha gu xing", everytime also loner one. anyway, after all the preparation and then the powerboat problems, we launched our kayaks and we were off to st. john's island, our 1st destination for the expedition.
haha i tink being on the water was the most fun part of the expedition. riding the waves and feeling the wind. tat's wat i missed abt kayaking. but then i had some difficulties manoeuvring the kayak and then quite shacked also. haizzz really too slack liao.
upon reaching st. john's island, we were dispatched to our respective bunks in which we will spend our night in. haha just ORDed last thursday only then so fast i'm sleeping in a bunk again. but then it's the 1st expedition which i will not be sleeping outdoors (although i have not really been to tat many expeditions lah). but then also quite nice lah. rain also no need to scared, then less mosquitos and got bed, got pillow and blanket somemore. but then the sian thing is tat my bunk also got not many pple i noe.
then after settling down, there was free time again so we were off to play volleyball again. come to tink of it, this expedition really like volleyball camp also cos everytime we had free time, we will be playing volleyball. this was another fun part of the expedition. after tat, it was dinner time and then we went back to our bunks to sleep.
the next day, we were going to kusu island. it was really quite near to st. john's island so we din take long to reach there. after having lunch and playing some games (wrestling in the water, waterbombs, etc) there, we headed back to st. john's island in which we will be having the camp fire later in the night.
back in st. john's island, we had our dinner and then prepared for the camp fire. all the performances were quite funny and it was generally quite an enjoyable camp fire. after the camp fire, it was supposed to be bedtime. but then because it was the last night, a lot of saboing was planned and most of us were staying awake and ready for them. Junsheng and Jiaming, being the chief saboteurs with the "nail polish attacks" the previous night, were the main targets and they were aware of it too. so i went together with them to the jetty and we spent our night there sleeping in our hammocks.
wow really been a long time since i last slept in a hammock. really felt quite nice with the strong winds and the clear night sky and then watching all the stars and toking cock... so relaxing... the last time i saw so many stars in the sky was in tekong while i was in sispec doing guard duty i tink. same sky and same sight but haha wat a different situation to be in. ORD lohhh!!!
the next morning, we got up, had our breakfast and then prepared to head back to kallang and then back to sch. in sch, after getting our expedition singlets, it was finally time to go home. phew, really shacked out liao. but then although it was tiring, the expedition was really quite an enjoyable one.
