back from camp!
i don't know when i will blog about COALs, but while it's still fresh in my memory, i shall post some important bits.
DAY1: i was the very first abseiler. i was super scared. way,
damn scared . i was just glad that my belayer was ms ng. zura got mr chan :{ and i did it! after stepping on that silver bar, it was alright. i really enjoyed it. new experience no1 :)
it was zipline next. ahh. i was even more scared. can hear the metal screeching and people screaming. all my confidence just whoosh. gone. i did that 3rd last. it was SCARY. i just screamed and screamed. thanks for the comfort though ng, you helped me abit. when i stopped they said i screamed the loudest and longest :/ haha
i suppose it was fun, but i still don't wanna do it again.
it hurts my poor, weak heart.low elements. nothing much. very btc.. but the log thing. ergh. it was so hard to get the rope! the tyre was worse. that was pure teamwork. i was sort of immune to it already, we have done things like that during btcs, it was like nothing to just spot and lift each other. although inst. faith tried to help, we ran out of time. oh wells.
rockwall. sigh. i didn't manage to climb to the top. i was belayed by syazza, so we both very nervous. sorry for giving you such a hard time! my rock climbing skills just can't make it.
dinner was nice. we were all so hungry anyway. but bathing really truly sucked.
summary: too many people, too little time, too wet bathrooms = choke!fire drill! oh my confusion, confusion. wend and zura were the 'captured' while shaomin and afiqah went to find. strength=7 :( but all's well that end's well. they were 'found'. surprisingly the most relaxing time during coals is when mspoon is in charge.
after that we didn't have performances as planned. instead there was a longgg debrief, by then we were all so sleepy. wendelynn kept worrying if there was time for her to brush teeth :P
i slept well. despite aeroplanes every 5 minutes.
DAY2: i woke up sleepily, walked sleepily and bumped into 3 instructors. sleepy me just
blinked blinked. and then we all just walked away. ahh i felt so bad. that would teach me to not drag natalie along. haha.
okeh. outdoor cooking. sort of successful. in the sense that we were the last to cook, but at least the food was cooked. although it was twice as much as we could eat. shall not disclose what we did with the remainder.
water activity! i felt safest here, because there's no heights at all. making the raft was tiring and fun. although our raft fell apart even before going into the water, it could still float. and the camelot instr. considers it as a pass. so yay, good job to all
15 falcons :D
we went to rinse. the meaning of coals rinse is this: wearing your dirty clothes, enter the shower, drench yourselves, come out dripping wet, go to the dorm, grab clothes, go change.
An empty street, an empty house;
A hole inside my heart.
We'll be all alone, it's time to say goodbye now.
All the smiles;
And tears we shared;
All the times we had.
We'll keep them in our hearts;
we won't forget.
And all these while;
You've been amazing, Falcon.
We'd like to say;
We're proud of all of you.
So we'll say it once again;
All the good times that we shared.
When the skies are blue, to see you once again, our love.
All the seas from coast to coast, to find a place I love the most.
Where the skies are blue, to see you once again,
our love.
