Back from oversea training.

Finally back to singapore mainland.

Shall write about what happen for the three days of camp.

1st day

Lecture ended around 5 and i rush down to changi jetty to take a bum boat. The journey took more than 1.5 hrs. Dover -> Tampiness -> Changi Jetty. So ma fan. No choice, we students are always short of cash. Had a plate of chicken rice at changi village before heading down to the jetty. By the time i reach the jetty, it is already 7 plus and the sky is almost dark. Was told by the boatman that the wun be anyone who will want to go to ubin at that time. Either i pay $24 to book the whole boat or wait for the other people to fill up the vacancy. As a poor man with $10 in my wallet, i got no choice but to wait. :( So i went to the toilet to change into my uniform and when i came out, i saw a couple waiting by the boat and we hire the boat together each paying $8 :s.

Reach the island and the sky is already pitch dark. So how? No street lights, no taxi and no bicycle. No choice lor, took out my 12 bulb LED torchlight and began my night walk across the island. For those in the cca, you will know that it is a gruelling hike through the uneven terrain, dense trees and is filled with strange and oversize creepy crawlies. Scary right? I will have to walk thru this kind of land alone in the dark and the the visiblity drops to 2 m, more than that you will need to shine your torchlight more than 45 degrees which is not advisible . If you think that sentosa night walk that we have last time is scary, this is even worse. Dogs will frequently appear and when you shine the torch nearer, you can see that their eyes will reflect a eerie white light back and they will bark and then run away. It doesnt help when nearby dogs are howling. Finally can understand the phrase "cold shiver down my spine". It is that scary.

After a 2o mins walk, in the middle of the dense pavement covered with tree branches, i could faintly make out 3 white figure floating around. I didnt point my torch at them for fear that they may be "good brothers"but i ask "who is there".





Guess what is the reply???










"Eh, you finally here. Can help me station at this junction, no enough manpower"

-_-'

"But i am incharge of other level"

Considering the risk of night walk that the campers may encounter. I stayed behind and look after the junction.

The whole activity ended within the next 30 mins and i walk back to the campsite with the whole groups of campers. Put down my barang barang at the dorm and carried on with the next activity.

-End for day 1-

Stay tune for more of Chays' camping experience

Lucky nothing happen to me, if not i will be staring in the next show "missing"

To peg: Confuse whether my call was a dream or a reality? Like what the chinese philosopher, zhuang zi, once experience

One day about sunset,
Zhuangzi dozed off and dreamed that he turned into a butterfly.
He flapped his wings and sure enough he was a butterfly...

What a joyful feeling as he fluttered about,
he completely forgot that he was Zhuangzi.

Soon though, he realized that that proud butterfly was really Zhuangzi who dreamed he was a butterfly, or was it a butterfly who dreamed he was Zhuangzi!

Maybe Zhuangzi was the butterfly, and maybe the butterfly was Zhungzi!

So it is soo cheem after all, a dream is not simply a dream. haha, just trying to add more stuff to the blog so that it wun be so bored, dun worry if you dun understand. Philosophy stuff only causes hair loss.

2 Years ago this day (2003 June 16).

Still remember we were at the chalet in downtown east celebrating pegs birthday. Turning off the lights and looking thru the cracks of the curtain, to see if she is back from her netball event and giving her surprise birthday cake filled with lighted candles.

Time flies and the only thing that stay is memories.

Chay

I did call on that nite, was busy the whole day. Hope that i didnt destroy your beauty sleep.
