back from atf!!!!!!!!!! burnt. face red. half of the arm red. neck red. and body a bit aching. heEx.
met early at the cherry hill bus stop....sharon's dad took us there. the new jetty was nice. quite cool. went on the boat a little while later. the boat needed 12 people....so 10 of us plus mrs koh and rafel. lols. got seperated from his sqdmates. anyway....we had to walk in to the campsite....both marist and pl. and we saw the others take a cab there! dots!!! haha. had some briefing...and the instructor kept asking us to loosen up! cuz we sat so str8...he asked whether wanna break record for sitting up str8. lols. then he asked us to start defrozing. haha. thawing. cuz we were all like ice. haha.
my series of activites went like this: double flying fox, tunnel, advanced challenge tower, ict, dangle duo.
Double flying fox:
the inst asked for 20 volunteers....me, tiff, ann marie and belize did. waha! and we got to go on the flying fox first!! whoOoOo!! hahahaha. me n tiff were the 3rd pair.... and we were shouting when the 1st two went down. we were so confident...so excited....but when it came to the real thing..erM. we didnt know when to jump off. but anyway...we did la. and it was really scary at first....then we soared thru!! shouted whOoOooOo!! and mrs koh's name....haha. she turned and looked! the inst said that if we cld fly and touch the pole...he would give us our flying fox badge right away. haha. but it's quite impossible lar. finished it..then had a fun time getting down too. so cool. me n tiff went on to another area.
Tunnel:
was quite similar to the one they did at sec3 atc. tiff was so confident....cuz she thought it was the same one.
tiff: orh...this one...do before
instructor: wah...so confident...good.
tiff (a while later): huh? not the same one ah? oh no.
instructor laughs...
lols. she was funny. anyway.....i went in with a peicai girl and turaiya and jaime. once he closed the door it was pitch black. cldnt even see ur hand in front of you. so we went down and up and we had to pull them up some slope thing. haha. took quite fast. the inst sacred us by saying that we had to crawl one whole round and turn back. haha.
Advanced CT:
also known as high elements....the highest lar. either u went into loop 1 or loop 2. oh yeah. i was the ladder woman for a while....brought the ladder to help those people doing it to help them get up in case they fell. so someone took over me. then i went up. and made supposedly the wrong choice. one lesson i learnt. looks may be deceiving!before we went on, the inst asked the boy to ask the girls what their names were and all that. the guy up with me and jaime was rafel. haha. the inst called him men in black. haha. he didnt even need to ask our names. but needed to ask our hobbies. haha. inst kept teasing him. haha. i went to the one that looked easier. was to balance on 2 wires and walk with just a rope. and i couldnt move. couldnt balance. oops. haha. had to have the ladder to help. then used this trolley pulley thing....to pull myself across the second leg...then third was to skate board! whOO!! but i kept slipping back. heex. had to stand on the skate board and pull yourself to the end using some hanging ropes above. by that time...i had no idea were tiff, ann marie and belize went so joined turaiya and jaime.
lunch: rice with 2 pieces of chicken, curry vege, nasi lemak ikan bilis & nuts, fishcake. was quite good infact. and mrs koh bought 3 bottles of 1.5L water for us! heE. had a banana too.
Intermediate CT:
i to be the ladder woman for a while....then went up. woah. i think this one was way cooler. contained 3 loops. 1 of them was the ladder. mentally challenging. had to use a trapeze to walk across a rope then walk on a ladder...and take a step of faith to the next one cuz there's a hole in the middle. then walk on a log and fly across. heex. 2nd was physically challenging. had to step on some steps hung to only one rope above....then do single rope pull (roasted pig), then step across some steps with no help at all. haha. sharon and hh did that. i did the last. a bit of both physical and mental. had to sit on something then pull urself across with a rope. then walk on 1 rope with 2 ropes as a support for the hands. and the last was to walk on a single rope just holding on to the ropes that hung down. haha. the ladder guy was funny. he was guiding me thru and then he shouted and i laughed in mid air! haha! and i promised the instructor below that if i had the time i would do the ladder and he said ok....stay back after this and do for me la. haha. i didnt. heEx.
Dangle duo:
went on to do dangle duo with yingle. needed a lot of team work. cuz u had to get up logs which were very far apart. did until the 3rd one. yl had to step on my leg and lift herself up...then she helped me up. heEx. then we went back and talked crap for a while before going to be the ladder woman again.
the rest went back leaving me, tiff, sharon, grace behind. by the time sharon and i went back they were having cheers. each school had to lead one cheer. and this guy...did the cheer....and looked gay!! oh man! he stood in such a gay manner! lols. then we did hokey pokey....friendship dance and a whole lot of crazy stuff. kept laughing.
haha. debrief. the same inst in the morning said we had melted already. said some even evaporated. lols. was fun. then we took a cab back to the jetty. and we came up with this "whatever" action. which was damn funny! kept doingit on the boat. rafel came with us again.then went to the toilet the jetty in main island... oooOo. red face! i kept teasing mary. i was saying....u make me angry i pinch ur face ah!! lols. we took 2 cabs back to heartland to eat. i ate cheesefries. ha. talk talk for a while b4 going back. lalalalaala. heEx.
i think it was really fun doing these stuff esp the flying fox. u must really shout and scream or else u wont get the kick out of it. who cares if u are uncivilised? haha. and i've learnt to better cooperate with my team mates and others too. and to believe in yourself and overcome ur fears!! and learning to balance. haha. i should really learn to balance. haha. cg too high!! lols. but i really had fun la. it was a gr8 experience just to be there. and the instructors were good and encouraging. haha. some really funny too.
ok. my face is tight and i dunno. haha. gonna miss atf!~
