Secondary 2 Chung Cheng High School Main Camp at Kota Tinggi Resort Journal Day 1
(I know... A frickin' long name)
I woke up at the same damn time like any other day: 4:30. But no, today is the camp. Did the usual stuff before getting the luggage and bag outta of the house. Reached school at 6:35. Met with Group 6. All was going well, until I realised I did not have me a water bottle and a sleeping bag. That was damn retarded of me to forget to bring my water bottle for 4D3N. Oh, nevermind.
The bus: We met our two instructors for group 6 and 7. They were Joe and Grace. They were exceptionally good and well trained people. However, the trip was long and Vicky was sitting beside me. I remember one part in Malaysia when I was closing my eyes while talking to her, because I was tired but wanted to entertain her.
When we reached the campsite: It was frickin' hot. The grasses were tall, the ground was baked hard and we had to wait for another school to get their butt out. Joey brought with her a frickin' large army bag. Just imagine the size of 1 and a 1/2 school table. that was how big it was. In it were pocket fans, mirrors, caps and practically 50% was useless. I was laughing my head off seeing the bag that was three-quaters the size of the carrier.
Then after the teachers checked-in to their resorts and the students checked-in to their "5-star hotels" (Tents... with a mosquito net too!). It was time for the students to "makan". Groups 1 to 10 was the "Alpha" group and group 11 to 22 were the "Bravo" group. Alpha ate first while Bravo was setting up the tents and we had to serve them later. We had to do a "hungry cheer" that went like:
- Hungry, Hungry (Clap, Clap)
- Very, Very (Clap, Clap)
- Hungry, Very (Clap, Clap)
- Very, Hungry (Clap, Clap)
- Ji-ke-lak-kak pi-a pi-a
- Ji-ke-lak-kak pi-a pi-a
- JIA!!!
A bit lame... and we had to repeat if we shouted that too soft.
And finally it was the activities... Group 6 and 7 were always doing the same activity, and our instructors were very good friends too. So we named ourselves "Group 67", Group 6 being called as "Sexybacks" and Group 7, "Taugays". The first activity was "Rebirth" were we had to bring a person one by one through a big tire. With the great morale and spirit, we completed that quite smoothly. There definitely was chemistry between our groups, even within our groups. The rest of the days went quite smoothly... Other than a person named "Yu Xiang" who kept on shouting and screaming because of flies.
The night activity was a nightwalk. Not much to say, only that the stars were cool and we had to wait very long to walk like 200 metres.

I woke up with a backache. The sandy floor was damned hard. I changed inside the tent before putting the toothpaste on my toothbrush. I brushed my teeth while I walked towards the toilets. I tell you, the conditions of the toilet there was like none other. There were approx. 7 cubicles and 4 of them could not be locked properly. Our source of water was two big buckets of water which collects the rain water for our use. Each of them can hold like 100 litres. Even so, when we shower at night, just because some damn people had to shower ALOT, the water supply gets cut off and we had to shower by the tap dripping. And, in the forest, competition is always stiff. So stiff that the creeper plants had to creep up the water tower and plant their roots their. So when we were showering, we had to remember that we are using the water, the sun taking back the water and plants drinking the water. Damn it.
The first activity was cancelled for us as the river had not enough water for River Cascading. So what now? We sneaked into the resort and played in the pool. Damn cool.
Not much worth mentioning until night...
The night activity for that night was the Firefly cruise along Johor River. OMG, the stars, fireflies, river and trees were magnificent. It brought me a lot of inspiration thinking that those stars were the same ones that people 4000 years ago saw. I ALSO SAW THE SOUTHERN CROSS!!! WHOO!!!
End of Day 2 at 12.00

Urgent as he was, what did he do? He pee-ed in his tent. Sorry, OUR tent. He was like shouting "fuck" all the way in the tent till even the teachers in the canteen 200 metres away heard him. I was real lucky I was sleeping on the other side of the tent, but boy, was the tent smelly.
Ah, the next day was the mountain trek. I couldn't believe how many people complained about the trip. Other than carrying a jerry can approx. 20kg when filled with water, the trip was completely fine to me. The instant noodles cooked was delicious, however, I lost my fork somewhere when we were cooking uphill. Oh well, a souvenier for the forest in memory of me.
Not much until the campfire at night, where I thought it was boring. I saw the southern cross again. Led me to think about the dawn of mankind and what not...
