SURVIVING SURVIVAL TINGGI AT TINGGI DAY 2
9:19 PM
DAY 2
we woke up. but first, here is how we chose our beds.
when we walk into the room, we saw only 3 beds, one by itself and two side by side. ok ppl, math - 4 ppl, 3 beds.. how many beds to a person? of course elton take one and the other 3 share 2 beds la. wats the reason?
guess - 5 letters
S M E L _ ? simple complete the puzzle!
ok so anyway, we woke up right, brendon had a gay alarm tone which is omg irritating. so it woke everyone up, but we all went back to sleep. Elton stepped up and did hard work by waking everyone up after we went back to sleep. then we brush teeth, or most of us did.
smart nigel didn't bring a load of things (INCLUDES TOOTHBRUSH. YEA.) and so didn't brush his teeth and went down for breakfast. so we ate (breakfast was lame and brendon spoilt a toaster) and went back up to change and get ready for the next activity! freaking lecture.

lol ok, btw that's our instructor, saiful. he laugh like hyena. like HIHIHIHIHIHI. i'll intro the other instructors when i get their pictures. ok so during the lecture we learnt how to make a few things.
1)shelter
2)build fire
3)get food
4)hunt animal
5)open coconut
6)make utensil from chopstick
7)how to kayak -.-
8)how to capsize
9)hot to save a capsized boat
after lecture we had to do PRACTICAL.
first was kayaking, the teams were -
elton and leonard
brendon and sheryl =(
nigel and anthea =(
dunno abt the rest, but me and anthea
couldn't row straight. she's left handed but her right hand is stronger, wth. ok so i had to rudder the boat 17340912734098712039857 times. after we reached some swamp place, we changed partners! :DD
teams -
nigel and brendon (more like it)
elton and anthea (lol)
leonard and sheryl (lololol)
FINALLY ROW STRAIGHT OMG. yea then me and brendon reached back like first and we decided wth, we'll capsize, and capsize, and capsize, and capsize.
so we capsize 4 times and by the 4th time, the boat was like a waterbottle, full of water lol.

we were assigned to build a tepee.(what's a
tepee?) yea so we took 3 bamboos and built a tepee. guess what, NOTHING TO COVER THE TEPEE WITH OH NOES.

so as you can see, the tepee look quite stupid and we were suan'd for it by saiful with much HIHIHIs during the debrief.
ok, then we dug a fire pit, with all the sticks inside.

but before that, we got sian and decided to make a fireball. well, brendon was the one who wanted to make fireball actually. so he found an empty coconut and dumped some flammable stuff and a firestarter like those we use for barbecue and lighted it and it became
koko krunch a coco-bomb. ^__________^

cocobomb
yea then we built the fire, which was quite successful and we cooked chicken and fish in the heavy duty aluminium foil. (remember when we had to go buy those things) yea.
no one want to eat the chicken wing after we cook the chicken wing it looked so good that we gave it to mr. tan hoe teck
as a bribe to make him happy. then we cooked the fish which looked like crap after we cooked it. in the end, everyone was quite happy/unhappy for different reasons. aiyah don't ask me i'm confused too. then we cleaned up and burnt all the leaves and went for dinner(which sucked too)

burning the leaves.
awesome part came after briefing, but first, the briefing. they planned a kayak trip around the whole island(which is a fake trip, you'll find out why later) after we planned our kayaking for the next day, we discussed major things in the group like what we needed to bring next day and what not. most of all, we discussed
kayaking partners but we couldn't really decide and so we apple orange pear persimmon and guess what. sheryl pick orange and anthea pick persimmon.
so teams -
NIGEL AND SHERYL (meh.)
LEONARD AND ANTHEA(lol)
BRENDON AND ELTON (eh.)
yea so that was settled and so we went to but some drinks at the gift shop. (its called a gift shop, but there weren't any gifts ok.) WHOAOMG THERE WAS COKE AND 100PLUS, buybuybuy. FURTHERMORE, THERE WAS A TOOTHBRUSH, 50 cent ringgit. which is like 20 cents sg, so i bought one to brush my teeth at night which was a godly feeling when i did it.
then we went to see stars. it was sooooo clear that we could see like every star in the sky. first we saw "sirius", brightest star in the sky. genius anthea bet with the rest of us that it's a lighthouse. wow. yea so anyway we got mr. tan hoe teck to come and tell us all about the stars. we were all super impressed. i can't remember all the constellations we saw but here are those i remember:
winter triangle
southern cross
fake southern cross
libra
scorpio
gemini
saturn
leo (made leo ma happy)
virgo
perseus
cassiopeia
andromeda
shoooooooooting staaaaaaaaarrr
yea the shooting star made us shit happy, like for a moment, we thought it was all worth it, but it wasn't quite worth it la. so he explain that the southern cross shows us where south is, and libra is the only one of the zodiacs that isn't an animal, and omg saturn was inside the leo constellation, and perseus was a king and andromeda was an evil queen. by the time we finished it was around 11 pm and we all went to sleep and I WENT TO BRUSH TEETH and there was the end of day 2. tmr was the lame mission and it will be an even longer post so.. sian. lol
more is coming p.s.
STUDY FOR ECONS AND STUDY TERRORISM
