anywayy after that took many many pics !! .. then went through customs to our ferry ... sat in between venetia & mori .. but in the end everyone went taking pictures .. haha .. no one was sick i guess .. cuz everyone was so hyped up taking pictures !! my angel gave me a BIG packet of m&m !! .. so nice laa .. was gossiping/bitching away with jingyii, emy, mori, christina .. haha ..

then 2nd round cannot talk and mux arrange according to bday .. but someone stepped off i think so restart .. then this time it was arrange according to shoe size w/out talking .. so yepps .. we did it very fast !! went over to whale watch and was trying to balance the big big seesaw .. it was fun but dizzy cuz we jux kept going up and down .. hahah .. manage to hang on for 20 secs .. yayys .. then had the shopping trip thingy .. cuz that night we had to cook dinner ourselves .. monica & venetia were i/c for that and we merged with grp 2 .. zaazeezoo !! .. ahaha ..
jingyii was sick so accompanied her .. then she went to rest (: .. our grp gathered and cooked pasta !! .. the trainers were showing the guys how to open can tins w/out using openners .. it was rough but i think they enjoyed it !! .. haha .. finally first "batch" of pasta done !! .. shared it arnd .. in the end me, shawn & suhartono shared a tin of creamy based pasta cuz he was vegetarian .. added loads of corns !! .. haha .. i think that was what made us corny .. suhartono was telling me cold joke abt tomato .. haha that was how he got famous being lame !! ..
after that washed up and got ready for night trek !! .. shawn didn't join us cuz he was feeling tired and had night blindness .. off we went .. yanhan, xiyao, monica, venetia, jingyi, fangqi, mori, me & suhartono .. that was our single file arrangement .. we were talking as the grps left one by one .. suhartono was telling us lame jokes !! .. then he tried to promote indonesia .. i saw a shooting star (: .. mori said that we were under the milky way .. it seems like though .. the night view was nice ..
anwyay we were the last grp !! .. but had 2 lecturers following us (: .. mr lee & mr chong .. haha .. manage to persuade the trainers to let us go earlier .. and off we went !! .. got abit lost at first .. but thanks to the guys we made it !! .. met 2 SFs .. rene & morgan .. we did a head count and mr lee + mr chong added "10 .. 11" .. rene said "who's that idiot !!" .. cuz our grp only had 9 pple .. ahaha .. it was so funny laa ..
thought that they were suppose to follow us .. so choo choo train .. our line got longer .. met brenda & yongjie not long later and they joined us too .. haha .. however realised that they were not suppose too cuz we were suppose to go in one round and come out !! .. we met emy's grp on the way in .. they were going out cuz they were the 1st grp .. haha .. on the way met many many grps .. somehow "merged" with cher's grp .. when we reached the end .. we were trying to look for pple .. then i think they were like .. i see 6 pple .. then looked closer .. saw 2 .. but finally it was 4 !! .. mel, cheryl & 2 trainers ..
that was when our line offically got longer .. haha .. picked up lightsticks on the way back .. when we finally reached the starting point .. had debrief and slowly walked back .. the road seemed to be "floating" .. haha .. we were like the brightest grp cuz of the lightsticks .. the trainers who rode ATV waited for us too .. so nice of them (: .. when we finally reached .. everyone was like clean .. and there was a longg queue for toilet .. so christina told me to wait until debrief was over before going to shower ..
by the time i was done and went to bed .. it was like 2+ 3 sg time .. emy & jingyii were sleeping already .. so i didn't know what time to set my alarm .. me & christina set like 15 mins difference i think .. my hair was wet !! so slept with a towel over my pillow ..
day 3.
wednesday : 13th sept
i was shivering when i got up cuz my hair was cold and touched my skin .. then jingyi & emy woke up too .. jingyii lent me her blanket to keep myself warm .. we woke christina and went to wash up .. as usual shared cubicle .. had breakfast and quickly got ready to leave .. the bus came and brought us to bintan lagoon resort for our TCP .. mori was real sick .. i took care of her for awhile before a teacher came .. our grp was with the smelly farties .. christina's grp (: .. played who.what.huh .. then that polar bear hunter game ..
came out with more cheers and practiced for skit .. we did it like real fast !! .. *red bull rocks!!* .. haha .. played summore and it was finally our turn =X .. we were the 2nd last grp .. got to do TCP with xiyao, shawn & fangqi .. mori suppose to be with us but she was sick so didn't join us .. xiyao was leading us followed by fangqi, me and shawn behind .. the other red bulls belayed us while we went up .. walked on a line and was shaking like mad .. the 2nd stop was worst !! .. we had to walk on a line and hang on to ropes .. our line shaked like mad .. xiyao was really patient with us and encouraged us (: ..
then i think it was the 1st cage .. we rested before walking on the big log .. got over smoothly cuz the log was very stable .. had to climb the rope nets .. as we clung onto it the fragments of rope flew into our faces .. shawn suddenly felt asthmatic but kept saying he was fine .. in the end manage to make him stop .. so our grp got smaller with 3 of us .. we made it thru the bridge and caught up with the 2nd zaazeezoo grp .. not long later the 2nd red bull grp caught up with us at the 2nd cage (: .. we cheered !! ..
continued up the TCP .. rock climbing .. it was so so so fun .. haha .. then the leap of faith or sth like that .. i was quite scared to drop into that hole .. xiyao & fangqi were encouraging me all the way and we did it !! (: .. up we went another rope net to our final destination where we rang the bell and took a grp shot .. xiyao went down the flying fox first then it was fangqi .. i was the last .. quite afraid .. i heard cheers for me from below .. it was very encouraging (: .. requested that the guy push me down cuz i know i wouldn't be able to leave if he ask me to do it at my own pace .. and as expected .. i screamed down =X .. haha .. was like hanging tight on the wire that hung on me ..
went to meet up with the rest and cheered while waiting for the nxt grp .. yanhan did a stun on the way down .. so funny la .. when everyone was down had lunch together .. then went to cheer for jingyi !! she was very very afraid and was stuck there .. she manage to make it down (: .. yayys .. nxt activity was paintball !! .. split ourselves into grps .. took the same grp as the one for TCP .. mori & shawn joined us !! .. was the last grp to play .. then both red bull grps beat smelly farties .. wahaha ..
