To continue...

Ok so we reached the island, helped drain the kayak and sensed that trainees were helpless, got adeline to settle the rest of the stuff and went off to help with the other kayaks. Maybe it was a wrong decision, cos apparently adeline wasn't too sure of wad was to be done, maybe she's just awfully tired. But a working com always has to be alert and taking care of the situation.

Was i too confident of my trainees? maybe...

Anyways by the time all the kayaks were up, the boats were already back and the life jacks were hung. Helped unpack the boat and went to see whether any help is needed... nope, as usual dinner was settled by the seniors and tents were pitched up by the WC. One amazing thing is, some participants were wondering around having their own sweet life. Hmm not making full use of manpower. Anyways i went to clean up and changed into a new set of clothes. Found out that sandlifes at jetty, so i changed into track pants and set up my fishing stuff.

Trainees camplight suxed... kinda reminds me of one of the camplight i held... but not southern. So boring, songs not in order, in the end me and wei siong had to dance around to lighten the atmosphere. And they kept on dragging the camplight when it should have ended long ago... Had a mini debrief with them that night and off they went to do sentry.

Seems like there's alot more for them to learn...

Then there was boat debrief, nothing much really~ in the end the sentry was split into wad... 3 hrs shift... with wei xiang taking the 1st 3 hrs, and me taking the next 3 -.-". In the end i still fell asleep... duh... even wei xiang did. Yeah fishing was a total failure as my hook kept getting sucked underneath the plontoon...
At 6 + i was rudely awoken by kumar who just discovered that the bow line of one of the boats got undone and the propellor was knocking against the plontoon. So we jumped into the boat and tried to shift it back... Luckily we discovered it eariler than jia liang... HAHA saved us a scolding man.

Day 3
The rest of my people came WOOT! And kumar and i jigged 2 fished out of the jetty, haha dunno wad fish, confirm inedible lar... so in the end released it. They packed up and lunched. Wei siong and i stayed to jaga the place. Seeing the place in a mess we tidied it up for them, And went to sleep in the hammock.

Huts must always be kept tidy!

I tied my hammock in such a postition tat i could see Jong so i could give warning when they came back. So i slept without my clothes so as not to make it smelly. Had some MAMA shop food for lunch, then went off drift in and out of sleep. And wad surprised me was, during one of my checks on Jong, i suddenly realised that weng hao was walking pass my hammock. Surprised i asked him why he was back thinking that he had some urgent stuff to settle... In the end he told me that everyone was here... !!! shocked i took a peep out of my hammock and VOILA everyone was beaching up. I quicky rolled out of my hammock grabbed my shirt and wore it b4 anyone saw me. Phew that was a close shave~ Heard that GX cried when she was a TL she also capsized and the whole WC's morale was down and out. Well nothing i can do abt it right?...

Hmm 1st time a TL capsized... instead of being angry i was pretty curious as to wad will happen later...

In the night we had BBQ! WOAH! Cool and my people gathered in one hut to catch up with each other. In the end we got scolded for not looking after the jetty... oppz guess we got our objectives wrong. In the end me and zhen wei cleared the area bathed b4 doing our sentry. Took 2 pics of the trainees sleeping, quite cool! Was supposed to wake the rest but we just decided to clear everything ourselves... HAHA in the end all of us fell asleep.

And yeah i woke up in the middle of the night 4+ am to shit... WAh its all the sambal man... Imagine having to cross the SOC at the Jetty really unlucky and urgent... Urgh, quite scary walking alone to the toilet armed with only a torch, lucky for me got a group of people camped nearby... got radio to entertain me. But to my horror not enuff toilet paper! so i had to go out of the toilet grab the hose, turn it on, go back was my ass. Dry it with the limited tissue, wear pants then go out again to off the tap. And trust me, moving around the toilet alone isn't the most pleasant thing to do... especially a ultra big mirror is in front of u when turning on the tap. Finished my buisness and rushed back to the jetty. Did abit of sentry and fell back to slp.

DAy 4
The next day awoke to find that chi liang and gary had saw us sleeping and tested us by running around, means that we never do our duty... Oh shit, but never kanna scold so heng... anyways lunched off, and i was to kayak with GX, supposed to tow and support her, well being a Tail End it wasn't so difficult~ B4 we left we all packed the boat and wore our booties, AND in jia liang's booties there was a BIG CENTIPIDE and he only found out AFTER WEARING IT! OMG he is so god damn lucky not to get bitten... who would have thought the jetty had centipides... Everyone was like wad the fuck! Then they kicked the centipide into the deep blue sea... I was made to clean the jetty... wah waste me strength...

Joined them for warm up and then we set offed. Yes could sense that GX still quite traumatised. Yes yes... and my people wanted me to take care of her~ lol i won't ill treat her lar, otherwise all the guys will kill me... So to brighten up the day i used kun han laming skills level 2! Haha just crap and crap and sing some stupid and lousy songs. And also taught her the things she needed to know for kayaking.

Guess wad Jess i broke the record! I CHOPPED her more then 11 TIMES! WAHAHA! ooppZ. And 1 hit was straight on the neck! Didn't take long to cheer her up lar, did some slight edging to make it more exciting... and she was sooooo frightened... haha scared of capsize? must love it! Analsysed with her the charlie formation, wheres the mistake all this... hope she learns some stuff~
And that stupid Raihani any shout help, waste my strength to paddle to her. Damn Raihani! But other then that, the trip went back on pretty smoothy. Beached up, cleaned the boat blah blah, had 3 debriefs... participants, boat and trainees. The trainees debrief was good, although wei cong and GX cried, but at least everyone knows how each felt. Yeah can see the other trainees were holding something back, GX was definately holding something back and so was adeline... But since they dun want to say, well so be it, hope they think things through... Anyways to the trainees Great work, all this being ur 1st expedition and all.... GD job~
