1st Day -Monday- Belaying part 1
Ok, so i shall start on the 1st day which is on 19th Jan monday. Wake up ard 6pm and get ready to go to CP to meet the 6 leaders which are Wee Kit, Zhi Wei, Wilfred, SiHui. Then we took 161 to Woodland and wait for Yi Jie, she's inside the mrt station already and so she join in with us follow by Faris & Rachel taking the mrt to bukit panjang. Took 975 at the Bukit Panjang Interchange to the Sarinbun Scout Camp at Lim Chu Kang Lane 5 there. Passby alot of of creepy places like the abandoned town which has a playground and a super big curve slide which looks like a massive tombstone and also Army camp like Armour Centre and Keat Hong Camp. Reach the bus stop already and we alight, and we had to walk a super long path into the place which is super deep. And suddenly we saw Elsie was driving her van in and so she pick us up. Went in and learn all the basic belaying steps from the standard rules stated by the MOE. And then the 1st school to arrive is the Nanyang Primary. And they started their activity right after their lunch. I and Wilfred was stationed at Rockwall, well it was a tiring one after all but it all ends at 5pm. Yeah, we can rest already. Well, Wee Kit, Zhi Wei, Me & Wilfred decided to leave because we need to get back home to take our clothes there and so we left the campsite on Elsie's van and to the Choa Chu Kang MRT Station. Went home and pack my stuffs until 9.45pm and took bus no.s 88 to meet Wilfred near Seng Kang Primary, and so met Zhi Wei also as Wee Kit's father gonna pick us to the campsite ... And on the way, we almost get lost as we turn here and there and suddenly a very hollow road like only 1 car move at 1 time. Well, found the place already and so we go in and it was really dam dark in the front with the spotlights full blast and then Wee Kit told us not to look behind because u can't see anything totally from behind. Well reach the place and enter our dorm, place our thing inside the dorm and get ready for the nxt day. Well Wilfred & I volunteer to go to Dairy Farm Adventure Centre there to do belaying as there's lack of people and since the Sarinbun camp they had enough ppl to do the belaying.
2nd Day -Tuesday- Belaying part 2
Wake up at 5.45am, wash up and pack up ready to get out of this campsite. The path was dam dark man somehow a 10 min walk as we got took the timing, can't see the front and back, luckily my handphone's keypad torchlight save the day, as i tookoff the keypad there's 8 Super Bright LED light shining like a spotlight. And so our path in the front was bright enough to see. Finally reach the lighted area and so wait for the bus. Reach the Bukit Panjang bus interchange already and wnet into the Mac and had our breakfast, aiyo Elsie's van is here and so we had to pack and go liao. Enter her van and eat inside, ok reach the entrance already and we were introduce to a new camp trainer and his name is call Marcus. His skin is really very dark, i can see that he really had sunburn alot la. Ok, enter the place and walk around the place with Marcus guiding us lo, put our items at the trainer quarter and went to the cookhouse to find the camp chief which is Kai (A malay guy la, quite young). And so he brief us on wat to do later during the camp. And so me & Wilfred belayed the whole day for the Ang Mo Kio Sec (Sec 3) at the CRC (Challenge Rope Course), from 8am to 5pm ... And of course we can rest already cause it's the end of day for both of us liao. And so we had to went back to Sarinbun Camp there to take our backpack, and we reach there ard 8.30pm+ and it was dark already, we can't see the path liao but no choice we had to go in with the support of my 8 super bright LED lite. Walk 4/5 of the road and a nice male driver wanted to drive us to the campsite and yeah we agree lo ... YEAH !! Thanks to that male driver, and so we asked him why he came here, and the answer was because he came here to pick his wife which is a teacher inside the camp. Ok, we alight his car and say thank you to him. Enter the campsite and took our backpack in the dorm. Left the place by telling Faris, Zhi Wei & Rachel that we are leaving ... Oh no, another dark path to walk again ?? Hehe !! No, this time there's a mini bus outside the campsite,this bus was initially to drive the china people out of the campsite as they join in the Nanyang Primary Campfire. And so we ask whether they can lobang us out to the main road and they allowed !! YEAH !! And of course we got say thank you and bye bye to them !! Well, reach back the campsite like ard 11pm+ ?? Cannot tahan anymore and so off we go to bed !!
3rd day -Wednesday- Hiking IC part 1
Wake up in the morning, ready to had our breakfast ath e cookhouse. After that, started our belaying with the Amg Mo Kio Sec again with the CRC. After which a new school arrive which is the Pasir Ris Crest Sec (Sec 2). Well, this time Wilfred had to go as the camp has enough people already and also because for the hiking trip for the Pasir Ris Crest Student requires traniers who are at least 18 years old. And that explain why Wilfred had to go. Well, the hiking trip was to walk a 12 km route to the treetop walk through Macritchie trail. Well, it was a tiring walk as we had to walk on the afternoon. Yeha, get to go with Marcus team. Well, had lots of fun overthere, saw monkeys and squirrel running around here and there. As the Infantries are having conducting their Operation around this area, we often get to meet them when we are making our move. Aiya, this time our group didn't get to walk the treetop as we are late for it as it has already closed. Oh man, and so we had to walk to the ending point which is at the venus drive carpark and we are the 1st group to arrive at the place. Took a shuttle bus and back to the campsite, and that's the end of the day for me. 5pm leh !! Do wat ?? Zo Bo lo !! Slack ard the place, 9pm wash up and the Pasir Ris Crest had their night hiking ard the area. Yeah, and i was alone at the trainer's dorm and so i took out the tidbits i had bought with Wilfred during our return trip to the Dairy Farm campsite. And i play my song through my phone and meanwhile eat my tidbits. 10.30pm already and i chop chop currypok. Switch off the lite and sleep already ...
