Ciaossu! I am BACK as I thought I heard my blog crying "Update me!" Before you read this post, go drink some water and take a rest before you sit down! Because I am going to post a 4-in-1 post! :b

13th Nov, Friday

Today is my first day of ATC! I took a long time to leave my house as was having a sad time saying Goodbye to my bed my pillow and my computer. I told my mummy not to miss me and she said she wont. My brother was happy as he need not see me for 2 days. What a nice family I got...*touched*...

When I reached school, I realised I left my money and ez-link card on my table. !@#$%^&! To think I took 2 days packing and still forget to bring something. Finally, we all took a bus and left for Changi Jetty! CJ had upgraded alot since the last time I been there..which is when I was P1. We took a boat there! The waves were nice. But the boat ride was disappointing as I expected the sea to have some sharks or crocodiles just to have some fun.

Finally, we reached Pulau Ubin! It was drizzling by then..The weather forecast prediction had came true! Pulau Ubin had become much cleaner too, since the last time visited. We took a V......E........R........Y long walk in the rain in order to reach our campsite! Walking in the rain is the funnest thing ever! :b

Along the walk, we decided to take a short break. So all of us the wet people, AHS + other schools all crammed into a small shelter. (Start of Joke ^^ ) There were some Army people resting there and they were lighting up something. I asked Amanda if that was Inscense (SP?) and Amanda said No! I forgot what she said but I continued saying it was something like Powder? Then suddenly Sharlene popped in and said what Prickly Heat Powder? We were debating what it was when one of the Army man, who was probably listening to our convo, out of frustration, took out the packet and show us the name of the thing he was lighting. MOSQUITO COIL. We were all like..Oohhh! (End of Joke) If you didnt laugh means you dont get it :B!

When we finally reached the BIG campsite, it was raining heavily. We were then separated into groups and were made to think of group cheers and name. That was my frist time meeting the MAROONers and the nice CIs of group 5! Initially I hated Maroon because there were 17 guys and only 7 girls?! We came up with alot of group names like Black, but sadly it was taken. Then came Dark Black which was rejected, then settle for Blond. But was soon rejected because "Blond is not a colour!" said our Sir. Finally we decided Maroon, partly because our sirs'shirt colour, and because Group 5 + Maroon = Maroon 5! Smart right?! xD

Aneewayz, first day was quite boring. Did not do anything much and could not pitch tent due to the heavy rain. After eating we had some fun then it was BEDTIME! The floor was hard and we only had our ponchos to sleep on...I slept between Amanda and Mei Ting! :) I had a hard time sleeping..#1 Not used to it. #2 Weather very cold. #3 I heard someone singing a creepy sounding song (The CIs? Unidentified Humans?) #4 The girl beside Amanda snoring very loud. I am so amazed Amanda can sleep sia....

Around 3am+ , I finally fell asleep...Suddenly Mei Ting woke me up because she wanted to go toilet! So I followed her on our long journey to the toilet. We passed by the Boys' dorm and they were all sleeping like pigs hehe! (Get ready for Joke #2!) While me and MT were making our way back, trying not to step on any guys, suddenly we heard a loud random Snore from one of the guys. It was so loud and funny!!! HaHAHAHA!!! MT ad I controlled our laughter and ran back.

14th Nov, Saturday

Second day of ATC! I did not woke up as I was already awoke. I did not even get to sleep! :( We went to the toilet and AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, a big fat lizard was there! It was a Ubin lizard! The difference between an Ubin lizard and SG lizard is their SIZE......Aneewayz the lizard ran away after eating a flying insect which flew right into the lizard's mouth. Smart ah!

Had Morning PT on the mushy muddy wet ground. I learnt that Half-Squats can kill! There was a very funny guy who kept JY-ing people even though he was dying his own hehehe. After PT, we had breakfast...Then CAME THE FUN OF ATC!........

Maroon's first cycle of activity was Low Rope Elements. Jun Wei Sir brought us to the rock climbing place, where everyone's UNGlam-ness are seen! :b Sob sob I think I was quite unglam too becos I was very scared of heights but I..MANAGED...TO...CLIMB...TO...THE...TOP! Got some guys very scared and gave up half way...And NOPEZX, I did not laugh at them.. ^^ !!! I tried to hide but >Someone< sabo-ed me and I had to go T.T" I took quite a long time to reach the top because my hands no strength HAHEHO...But I MADE IT!!! xD The instructor even Hi-5ed me :B! Also at the rock climbing area, we met alot of Commando Mosquitoes. They are mosquitoes which can suck your blood even when you're wearing long sleeve and trackpants. Sighs.

After rock climbing, we procceeded to another rope element. Something like a tarzan swing. It was FUN!xD But flying fox still rocks more...After that was lunch time.

Cycle 2 of activity, Land Expedition! TIRING ttm! We walked more than 5km maybe? Our destination was the Chicken Feet, which was on the other side of Pulau Ubin. Walks walks walks. While walking we finally came up with a group cheer ^^

~We are the best! We are the best! We are the best among the rest. We are here to show our POWER POWER POWER! We are the best among the rest! MAROON!~ Sang to the tune of When the Saints go Marching In. ^^

Finally we reached the Chicken Feet!!! We were all celebrating and very happy until Jun Wei Sir said, "Now we must walk back." Faints.....

Cycle 3 of Activity, KAYAKING. One word, Disappointing. Everyone was looking very forward to kayaking, but it sucked! We didnt even get to kayakzxzz..They made us raft up 3 times and did not show us anything much. Just kept talking. But heng ar, managed to kayak at least a little bit.

The instructor made the front people of the kayak ( 2 seaters )to stand up. Gasps. We had to hold on to the people next to us. I was abit glad cos I had to hold on to 2 guy. I thought the guys would be stable. In the end this guy beside me keep wobbling and yelling HAHAHA. His funny action made me laugh so I wobbled too. Then this big waves kept coming and rocked our boats. In the end, alot of us fell down ^^ The waves soon swept our boats near the shore. The guy beside me continued yelling and panicking even after I told him that his boat was already on shore. His famous words "The shore have rocks!!!" LOL-EDx. He was so scared until he grabbed my hand very tight. Wanted to shake it away but I was too busy laughing HAHAHAHAHA.

Dinner after that. AND CAMPFIRE NIGHT. Except the campfire was destroyed due to the rain. Indoors campfire sucks, I ended up sleeping and waking up to sing some songs and group performance etc. My group's performance was Opera version of Maroon Light, which was just Purple Light cheer actually...

We had our nightwalk afetr that. The place was quite dark! And the CIs kept scaring us with weird stories like peeing inside the forest because of scaredness. I was stuck with a group that had 5 guys and I am the only girl. Not again!? The guys kept scaring me, saying inside got glowing doll hang there LOL. In the end the forest was just a SMALL place...It was not even scary ^^

Everyone slept like a PIG after 2nd day. The snoring girl snored louder than ever.

15th Nov, Sunday

Woke up abruptly by Mei Ting. Was so tired that I could hardly open my eyes hehe. I could sense the excitement among the campers because it was the last day of ATC....After Morning PT and our final breakfast, which my group spammed eat up all our maggi mee and milo powder and pocari sweat :B! Then came the Prize Presentation for the best groups best campers all that. . . . . . .

MAROON won the Best Group Award!!! xD!

We were quite surprised because we did not expected it. But yay!!! And that sort of marks the end of ATC and Maroon. I am finally back with AHNP Sec2 squad! Very happy to be with them again. Our long walk back to the jetty and took the boat....YAY..we could finally see S-IN-GAPORE! :D

I will miss Pulau Ubin in some ways. Bye Bye Commando Mosquitoes! xD! Bye Ubin Lizards! And that marks the end of my Adventure Training Camp. Now for next year's survival training camp.....

16th Nov, Monday

Bored at home, so went out with Alina, Ader, Wei Ling, Zanne, Yi Tai, Andrew, Kai Yuan, Yi Heng, Jerome. Wanted to meet at Tanah Merah with Ader ^^ But I ran in the first train which came until I realised it was the wrong direction. So met with her in White Sands! We collected our Fruzen Yoghurz Loyalty cards! xD

Ate Seoul Garden with Ader, Ky and Jerome. Haha yummy! I love my cuttlefishs! Slurpssss. After that Wei Ling joined us~ We procceded to watch 2012 after lunch. It was a nice movie with nice effects! There were many people dying in funny ways. I learnt from the show that praying doesnt help when your life is ending. Haha I thought it was quite funny at the part the guy's leg got crushed at the ship. So Final Destination-ish! :) Aneewayz the main leads survived as expected. Yawns.

Went bowling...My bowling skills had dropped DOWN. I forgotten how to bowl! The last time I bowled was after Oral Exams. Gutter balls all the way but managed to spare a few times ^^ Ate McDonalds for dinner...yum.... Ader got a sexy voice. Get well soon!

This is end of my long post!? Hahaha! Thanks for reading it :b!

PS/ thanks christine for tagging daily while I am away for ATC!!!

Ok, BYES! Have a nice day ^w^!
