Den we had some trusting ur team mates games like trust fall n such qte dun, den we had basic absailing training, walk down this 15m clift…I thot I’d be as easy as rappelling, but guess wad I wad WRONG it was easy but very different, rappling u no strength also can do I one…no prom, but this one u really gotta plan everything which step u take or u will slip and u muz know which part of ur leg to apply pressure. Den only one can go at a time so me Jason n ben sat in the sheltered area n rest while the others were dunno doing wad lah, by this time sarah was already making out wif this guy called hazizan, zan lah for short den she became wif him ever since, den left me n jy the other grps the se girls very close one lor, but not my grp lah.. had packed lunch.

Dun feel irritated or wad by me writing the progression of their relation but it really plays a part in the future events. Den reached the top, hj set up the absailing thing wif all the ropes…itz like absailing on a mountain like that lah abt 1.6km high in se everything is like mounted up on the wall, here is like everything is u have to tie the absailing sutff urself…met demang sari there, ben wanted to absail first, but the Brunei guys like fought wif him to go first lah den they all like wanna go first wanna go first dun let us go before them, den we juz sat in the hut , me, jy, Jason, xj, cuz bakar n dari knew malay den they can click wif e Brunei guys n sarah was wif zan, ebel,zai,jasmine,greg came inside to tok to us also. Greg encourage us to go fight for the chance to absail cuz it was turning dark but we said no point. Den in the end they all took very long lah…the Brunei girls scared scared scared…they really not physical enough so only 2 more can go den ben Jason n xy let me n jy go lah they sacrifice lor. Oh n yar thanks to Jason n his REMARKABLE GK our clothes didn’t get wet lah he is like damn smart very impressive, his father works as this dunno watch stars one lah, wif the govt one lah den his dad got yatches n cars all over e world n he even help his dad programme their own softwares. Yar den after I absailed down gotta climb back up to meet the others den I climb climb climb got lost again lah and also met this huge fallen tree cannot go over cannot go under…but I wemnt under in the end cuz I was too short to climb over it…so juz followed the sounds all e way again den reached there from the other side of the hut…so climbed back down took a buz journey back oh n we came from a truck so abit fun lah….first time sit in a truck. Went back to log center greg asked if all of us managed to absail said no lah…tok to him until dinner den hj say we can choose to sleep in tent or bunk cuz we were supposed to sleep in bunk but no time to pack up so sarah irritated by ants forced us to sleep in the bunk. Den got grp meeing, b4 that played this giraffe, clam and monkey game lah den we had to rate our performance so far, I was the only one who gave myself 10 cuz I think I did my best for everything n I dun regret. den we had to design a grp logo n slogan den I tuwai mah den organized everything. Den I realized something…only the SE girls bothered to put sunblock and did not get burn, boys r carn be bothered but the Brunei girls dunno why lah…either dunno or wad. Oh n I have a tok abt the bags they brought….er very abit the er lah obiang is the word lah arh. Yar den slept at the corner beside Maxine. Cuz the other 2 grps going trekking the next day so they had to pack up. Den Maxine say the Brunei guys smoking in the tents, only our tent slept in bunks cuz sarah forced us to move. So our tent lent to xj they all sleep.

Packed store den had some argument over the missing tent den I think this part hj is damn unreasonable lah we obviously lost a tent den he went over to the other grp and say that they stole our tent and take the tent back…aiyah this tent thing very complicated lah…I only figured it out the last nite…got chance den I explain everything slowly next time. Den had to go over to sleep lah den sarah n I decided not to bring anything but our sleeping bags over den come back the next morning to bursh teeth den we went back to our bunk.

Den had breakfast, we were trying to pack everything up but the other grp already finish becuz they only did 3k. den they slacking waiting for us. N we got a non aircon bus. We traveled to the games village again…we were given time to settle in. I was damn shocked to be back at the city and see buildings again the feeling was weird lah cannot describe one. Tried to dry our clothes den went for lunch and beach cleaning/ clearing had to clear the logs from the runway of something. Got this damn sian feeling like very moody since I came back into the city cuz xj that idiot told me that we will be doing another 7k later that evening to familiarize us wif e route…but I was damn happy that it was only 3.5 like u ask me to run can lah once a day lah…not twice but anyway it was better when I found out that it was 3.5 but I was still very afraid that I will not make the timing cuz the first time I had the grp to pace me for the first 3.5 den I clocked 58 den the second w/o pacer I clocked 1hr7min den I was damn worried n moody like came back to wash up n pack up for dinner that time I was so lost I dunno what I was doing at all lah like on minute put the bedsheet den the next I tried to pack my clothes, den the next I wanted to wash my clothes again. Anyway it was time for dinner, this time I joined forces wif jingjing n the others to get ourselves some food. Den we had to like prepare for a performance for our closing ceremony, so we n demang sari joined forces lah…den cuz sarah was tuwai she decided that we shd sing I will survive it caused some unhappiness wif jingjing n ebel they raised objections but failed lah, den dunno how the Brunei pple got a guitar den we managed to sing it wif a guitar den got this part is the lalalalala part damn irritating lah greg ebel n meself were trying to tok sarah n mian who were sort of leader lah. But to no avail. The instructors were unhappy den everyone turned moody, but anyway it was decided that all of us MUST know the lyrics and sing louder. In the end hamdi, demang sari’s instructor told them he was not a good instructor he treated them like kids and not how an instructor shd treat his participants den like say wad hj is better den him den so sad lah he was abt to cry lah…hj sucks lah how can anyone feel inferior to him? Den hj said ok but den he said that he was sure the other grp will do better den us. Oh n Benjamin was damn scary lah. Think he was like seriously home sick like he juz ignored everyone else n sat at one corner den during our performance he juz stand at the back n do nothing den keep toking to others abt his family..den we had supper den yar I prepared everything I cld cuz my trek shoes were broken so I maximize the potential of my broken kappas lah.hopefully it can help me tide through 7k

Anyway he gave his speech, we performed and took our certificates den ben was scaring me again he was looking so down n moody while waiting for the minister den when he got the cert he was all smiles…the thot of it gave me chills.

But greg was first den we were all damn proud of greg for making Singapore proud lah I mean he did tell me that he wants to do something proud for Singapore but didn’t expect him to actually like do it. And hj was damn bais lah lent hafiz his shoe and that he wanted hafiz to win and break the record. But we were damn happy that greg won instead. Den he was presented wif this crystal yar. After photo taking n lunch went to this tech museum…damn boring lah…took a weird pic in a sampan wif greg lah n hafiz was damn cartoon disturbing all the models. Everyone was laughing at him lah…as in hafiz can really make u laugh becuz he is funny but zan THINKS his funny and laughs weirdly but I dun think he is funny and he irritates me..i dunno why the others prefer zan to hafiz but only max agrees wif me that zan was the most irritating one that u really hate the others is like u are ok…although the front part we clash abit but after that it’ll be over that kind. As in maybe becuz hafiz is still very nice to me lah like he is damn cute lah he gave me this rock that will shine when itz dry n help me find nice rocks to bring back to Singapore. I tell u why I think he is cute like becuz of his teeth itz like straight in front as in u know pple one got curve but his is like straight den on the first day he kept trying to get my name rite but to no avail and he was wearing this shirt all buttoned up like cute but not toot.
