Ok now for the final two days of LTC 20o6 :)
~day3~
today was the day that we had to wake and rush for the sea expedition. It was quite draining mentally and physically but at least we managed to complete it. Me and my partnaer had to stop twice on the way back to clear water from our sinking kayak. After that it was time for the HIGH ELEMENTS!!!
To all those who were in the same group as me in Sec 2 for the adventure camp in Lavender would know that this is the place where i made a fool of myself. This time it was quite different I actually managed to complete one and in one case i fell off XD. By this time our skit for Finale Night was more or less done. And yes, I play the big bad wolf. -.-". I felt that the skit of my group ( two groups combined to perform one skit on finale night) could have been better but we decided to stick to out current one. It was largely narrated by the narrators with the actors not really having to say much. It was really a fun thing to perform :).
We also had some sharing session with our group where we had to pick out two qualities - one that we had already learned during the camp and one that we wanted to pick up thru the rest of the camp. I picked optimism and being risk taker respectively ( this might be on the end of the 2nd night, i can't remember). Well I think I accomplished my task of bring a risk taker :P.
~day 4~
We completed another round of high elements before waving good bye to our campsite and heading back to nanyang for our Finale Night. It had to be held in LT4 as it was rainy. It was a memorable Finale night with many 'homosexuals' appearing. It was a joy to watch. Yes and Wei Hao was damn funny !
The night ended with a tribal at the parade square and that was LTC for me.
That will be the end of this post as well. Cyaz

Well, I'm back from LTC 2006 !
What an adventure it was! My group had a heck alot of different personalities. All of them took something away from the camp. Every single one who participated would have taken away something from the 4-day camp. Thanks to Ms Audrey and the rest of the teachers and facils for making this camp so meaningful for all of us. I'm going to briefly blog about the camp... hope it doesnt take too long it's now already 12 am.
Day 1
We meet at NYJC at 7.30 am. I look around my group and start to get to know the 11 people I would spend the next day with. The first day we went on our land expedition. It was a little like the amazing race but we had to start of by finishing 7 1.5 litres of water. That means 9.5 litres for 11 people. People puked but we still managed to get it done. The real challenge came on the bus because we had to hold our nature's call till the bus got to our destination. Still, we managed to do so and we went through another mini obstacle before reaching at the final destination ( where we were going to camp overnight) in 2nd spot. We had outdoor cooking for the night and after that we had a night activity. It was really an interesting one as one person (blindfolded) was bound to another person who would have some sorta handicap [ for my case my leg was tied to the blindfolded person]. We had to overcome several obstacles incuding spider webs and all that stuff. It was a challenge and i have to thank Germaine for doing it together with me :). Through that I learned that there will always be someone there to help me if I need help and lead me through the obstacles and also that I too can make a difference to people's life by helping them. We retired for the night in our tents.
-end of day1-
-start of day 2-
We started the day going back to our original campsite Jalan Batera. This is where we had our sea activity of building rafts. Well we didnt exactly meet our objective of building a raft to go and collect something from someone out at see but our raft did float. Just that it couldnt hold the weight of 3 people and it always toppled over (min. 3 people had to be sent out)
After that we had training for our sea expedition. Unfortunately it started raining heavily and we couldn't do our capsize drill. But no worries we would do it tomorrow morning (even though that would mean we would rush like hell for our sea expedition. We had some sharing sessions at night and it was finally lights out.
Well this is certiainly a brief description and I am too tired to continue. I will blog about the rest of the days and include my thoughts on my group members in the following days. Until then cyaz!

Hi once again...
Yesterday I went for the pre camp breifing in school, and I think my group is going to be fun!
Kinda weird though, we were really quiet during the time when we were supposed to have 'ice breakers' but after we were dismissed four of us actually stood there and started talking about everything! Kinda funny but hey, who cares! As long as we can understand each other and work well with each other.
Overall its been not too bad... Holidays have just started too..
Which reminds me of my crap chem assignmet.. It was unjust, unfair and pretty much ridiculous... but I have no choice ... And I really think that Chemistry and I do not go together >.<...
Well, thats all for now i think... will blog again soon!
