Pulau Ubin Trip Part 2

Glancing the sea as i took hold of the railing in the boat. Unfortunately, i was seated in the first boat with the scouts but not with the ventures. The boat startled a while upon approaching the landing bay. As the boat stablised itself, everyone was getting ready to embarked on a new journey. Hubert and Wei long went to find a van to see if we could use it to get to our destination. ( I wondered if i remebered correctly but i know they went off first) They came back soon after we revitalised ourselves. We paced step by step through the thick canopy of the forest. Numerous Mosquitoes ambushed us on the way to the area. Poor people that had push the jellycans to the area, i admit it is very tiring doing so.
Finally, we have encountered the resting place. I was quite elated at the place as we have a sea-view and a forest-view, a materialistic person would have similar "thoughts" too.( I am being sarcastic to materialistic person here) We have 3 rooms to ourselves but 1 was to used for store room and the other was in bad condition. We went off to prepare the following games that were planned long ago. We have a electric fence which was made using strings making it difficult for the scouts to cross over it. The main purpose of this is to introduce teamwork to each patrol, allowing them to understand one another better. Next we have the army rope which a rope that was tied to a tree whereby the scouts have to climb and touch the end of the rope. This is to test the physical strength and the technique of climbing such rope. Last, we have the leopard crawl which is designed on a muddy area which too disgusting to describe it. The scouts have to crawl across this puddle of mud blindfolded and the main purpose of it is to trust their patrol mates when it comes to such situation.

Pulau Ubin

Since i have not been doing much, i decide to contribute by blogging this in. Pretty funny i'll say before this actually happen. Planning have to come first right. Toh Wee and Eddie were planning and all of sudden the day before Eddie Got FITS! Haha.. all of the sudden huge responsiblity falls to me....(Actually i do not know why) Still I did my best by retriving certain important information of the plans by Eddie and started to investigate the parts. Toh Wee trusted us and let us plan the activities for him. Ah trust what a word.

Here comes that day, the day we set off so near... so near.. it is. My mind filled with anxiety and stress hoping that the activities will work. We cleared the items that we needed to use and here it began. I lifted my massive leg off the ground and took the very first step up the bus." Doom, i said, Doom" I took hold of the railing by the side and lift myself with hope and light.( Don mind my way of expressing myself) I paced step by step with a constant worry that whizzed pass my mind and there, i took a sit. I let my eyelids fall to my eyebags and "poof" i went to lalaland. "Bang"(I know what you are thinking but no) I hit the window glass and i woke up. Oh! Scouts are singing some songs (Usual Stuff..you will get bored doing so sometimes) A drop of water paste itself on the glass, i placed my hand on the glass. Is it my lalaland's effects? Drops came one after another. Darn! Rain! What rotten luck we have...Argh! We have reached and i came down the bus. We dashed out to cover while some of us help out by taking out the jellycans( I hope i spell correct)
