hello! haven't posted in a long time. my laptop was just repaired and i was lazy to post. i'm gonna post on the efl :D this is what i'm gonna write for the booklet
DAY 1 Today, i reached school at 5.50am. We had to reach school at 6am because the buses will leave for Malaysia at 6.15am sharp. It was a seven hour bus ride to Taman Negara. We stopped twice. Once for lunch and the other for a toilet break. I slept throughout most of the journey and ate tibits. i was very excited as i didn't know how the camp was going to be like. i will be staying in the cave today. We ate dinner after reaching the cave. After dinner, they gave us some time to settle down in our tents. We had to climb a few flights of steps before reaching the cave and there was only 1 toilet with about six cubicles near the cave. About 80 people had to share that toilet. We went for the night walk at around 8pm when it was dark. We were not allowed to bring our torchlights and when we were walking back, we had to form groups of 10 and each group will be given 1 candle. This group will have to walk back to the cave and the only light source will be the candle. Every group managed to get back to the cave without getting lost. We went to sleep in the cave after that. DAY 2 Today, after breakfast, we went for treasure hunting. We had to look for poker cards at different places. We were given a map to look for the cards. As the map was not drawn to scale and there were dummies placed all around, it was quite confusing to figure out which is the correct card. My group was the first group to finish and we were quite proud of ourselves. After all the groups reached, we went caving. On our way there, there were many leeches. I didnt get bitten :D. We went to a bat cave and the slopes were very steep. The rocks were very sticky because of the bat poo. We either hold on to the sticky rocks or we will lose our balance. So everyone had to touch the bat poo. The slopes were very steep so we had to squat down to lower our centre of balance so that we would not fall. After caving, we had lunch. We had to cook outdoors with our own mass tins. We were given eggs, sausages, instant noodles, solid fuel and matches. It started to rain after lunch. We waited for the rain to stop than we went abseiling. The rocks were very slippery and i was mostly just sliding down. My legs were too short and it could not reach the rocks. After everyone did abseiling, we took a bus to the tekam plantation resort. It wasn't much of a resort, rather a dorm with 8 double-deck beds. We bathed than went for dinner. We were taught how to tie knots and lasing (for rafting tomorrow) by the trainers in a hall with a lot of flies. It was very disgusting because the flies kept flying and crawling around us. We went to sleep after that. DAY 3 Today, after breakfast, a bus brought our class to the palm factory to introduce oil palm seed and the plantation to us. Next, the bus brought us on the agro tour to see the oil palm plantation, rubber plantation and cocoa plantation. The guild explained how each plantation was used. We were allowed to eat the fruit of the cocoa plant. It tastes sweet and nothing like cocoa. After lunch, we had a mini amazing race to find vouchers to exchange for the items needed to make the raft. My group was also the fastest to find all the hidden vouchers. We took quite a long time to make our raft but in the end it still managed to float. I had to sit on the raft as many of my groupmates did not want to go or didn't know how to swim. I was also quite scared because the groups that went before us said that there were huge leeches in the water. My group won this race and after that we went back to the campsite for dinner. After dinner, we went into the auditorium to learn weaving. It was very interesting and after we finished, we went to sleep. DAY 4 Today, after eating breakfast, we took a two hour bus ride to the taman negara rainforest. We took a short boat ride to cross the river than we climbed up to the canopy. It was a very tiring walk and there were many steep slopes. When we reached the canopy, we had to walk across this bridge. The bridge is basically just planks with a net holding it. I was the first to cross the bridge. It was very scary as it was quite high up and the bridge would suddenly start shaking a lot. When everyone crossed the canopy walk, we walked down to the side of the river and we ate our lunch there. after we finished our lunch, the boats came to fetch us. The boats went very close and everyone in the boat was soaking wet. It was very fun and we all screamed our heads off. It started raining and when we got out of the boat, it was very cold. We changed and boarded the bus back to the campsite. After bathing, the teachers brought us to the provision shop to buy some tibits to eat on the train back. We did evaluation in the auditorium than we packed and waited for the bus to come. DAY 5 The bus picked us and fetched us to the train station. We waited for quite long at the train station as the train was delayed. We all fell asleep at the train station. It only came at around 3am. We slept and ate on the train. We reached Singapore at around 11am and waited for the bus to send us back to school. We were dismissed from school. |
