So finally GT is over, although i wasn't present for the 1st part of it... met up with all of them at kranji and me kumar and pat went ahead to larkin 1st, bought dinner for all of the ppl and guess wad we almost missed the bus. This is because i went to A7 to check the bus when the bus is at B7. Either i heard wrongly or zhen wei said wrongly... but we managed to end up in the bus. Actually the bus was already leaving, but due to the absence of a large number of ppl, they found it weird and decided to wait.
Bus trip was quite a bore, read the schedule and tried very hard to slp. In the end only managed to get like 1/2 hour slp.
Reached kluang interchange and got the trainees to slp. While me, zhen wei, michelle and weng hao did sentry for the whole night. Think all of them very high, especially zhen wei, so we kept on talking and talking throughout the night. Then got a malay uncle who kept disturbing us... and a slping buddah in the terminal to entertain us. And tell u kluang bus terminal is very sickening... everytime got the burnt tire smell and occasionally smoke smell + lots of motorbike zooming ard. Breakfast was lousy, instead of getting solid food such as mee goreng, we got butter cookies, milk and apple cider from 7-11. Quite demoralising. HAha... slept for 3 mins before waking trainees up for their breakfast. Instructors packed up and waited for the bus. Tired and time passed very slowly... those who did sentry swore to get slp in the local bus service. But in the end i never got much slp. Zhen wei slept throughout, weng hao abit and mich never slp.
So morning arrives, me and mich have to lead them to the base of belumut. Halfway we sort of lost our way, so we adopted the stop, punish and ask solution. Stop the trainees, punish them and ask the seniors for route. Don't think the trainees noticed~ or maybe they did. Anyways the route into belumut was like a mine field, one wrong step would cause ur legs to sink into a puddle of cow dung. But due to our intense training and observant skills we managed to escape unscathe. Bottom of belumut reached. Trainees top up water and off they set for the summit while zhen wei, michelle and i stayed at the base camp to do recce for night walk and water confidence.
Base camp ppl slacked for a while, made our lunch (bread with mayo and luncheon) which zhen wei ate the most, then we slack for abit longer then went to set up the water confidence area. Followed by washing up in which we created quite a bit of havoc splashing water at each other. Never see my ppl so siao before. haha guess they picked up my mabo skills~ really seriously siao one. After bathing we slept for a while before wei xiang came back... then we went to check out the ropes we tied and voila someone actually stole our rope... sianz, shortened the ropes... and went back to camp site. Slack abit more before it hit 6pm. Too late, and they hadn't come down. So the 3 of us chionged up without anything but our torchlights, which was damn stupid... cos we never even take any water with us. Sianz, lucky we have trained before, so we managed to survive. Things were getting bad as the sky grew darker, 1 hr into the forest and we haven't found them, kept perverting now and then but to no avalid. Not so for the next 30 mins, no sound. Then when at last our pervert was replyed we were quite happy. By the time we met up with them the area was begining to darken. So we hurried them on and motivate them. Lalala down the slope. Another 2 hrs of trekking down in nightfall and we reached the base. Almost got lost 2 times. Once reach base camp it was decided that we 3 take for the rest of the night. The rest of the instructors, down. Watched them eat dinner, fill water before proceeding on with the night walk. At the same time i went to take water and medication for ah lai and mich. All of us dehydrated... + check out the water confidence ropes. Guess WAd, Some KKB stole the ropes, all of them. Man tell me why malaysians like to steal things so much... no choice after discussion we would lead them one by one... Then we started night walk. Nothing much really just made them walk into soft sand, trees and rocks.
Then came water confidence. Everytime it was my turn to lead, michelle would be so kind to choose a hum ji trainee and i would freeze in the water while waiting. So in the end i like got all the humji trainees who won't dare to jump. Urgh... water very cold. Don't understand why they cannot just jump off the stone into the shallow water... But aiya wad to do... Leading them was the more difficult part as i have to constantly look out for the route and also be ready incase any of them fall n get hurt. Funny thing is when i get them to lie down to wash up... especially those with abrasion. I know how it feels cos that time i also have abrasion... haha Ohh all the abrasion ppl! ALL HAIL! After that im very positive all the trainees are freezing, well the instructors as well, since we are drenched... So back to camp change up for the trainees, then slp. For the instructors it was change up, eat dinner, clean up, brief discussion on schedule before we slp. 2 hrs of slp before we woke up to change. Got them started for breakfast, before kumar came to relieve us. Back to camp, busied with packing up collecting water while the trainees took their theory test and drank water from their *survival kit*. Break camp, then set off towards the main road. Waited a while for the bus, reached kluang, let them have their own time for eating lunch. Then we recalled some stupid things we've done back then, like once our instructors weren't looking we threw the gadget pole,step,cross and did all those "illegal" stuff... Hoho, coolz after a long long decision we finally ate at the bus terminal. I ate 2 meals. Dunno why im god damn hungry. Went down, made the trainees do survey, then board the bus back to larkin. During the bus journey i watched "the one" and at the same time helped zhen wei mark the test papers. Ayio guess wad weng hao salivate on his shirt, then when he woke up and swung his head he created a whole string of saliva. While im not particualarly disgusted or affected, it was an interesting sight to see. Trainee's test papers were very funny, i mean when u mark it, u can see the answers they give... Some of them try to bullshit their way through, or smoke... but smoke won't help. Some just leave blank. Hai HIAIIIA WHY! lolx
Reached back to sp made them wash equipment, while we had our meeting. Alot of disagreements... UNhappiness... divided views, u name it. Meeting was adjourned and the final PT was carried out, super siong, super siong pt. Do this do tat, run here run there, shout here shout there. But somehow i still feel like its only a normal upgrading training, like OUR upgrading training... After that finish camp and bathe, before that more decisions to make, suddenly i feel so sick of making decision. Thats why i always said, leadership stinks... it stinks to the core. Why can't ppl just find a place to lie down talk, play, slp... why can't i? Life sucks... After that was the ceremony, gave their certs, badges and floatation. Then went to eat with them, trainees sure have a very big appetite, oH no.. hope we didn't pass it to them. They eat so much more then i did leh... they are very pro... WAHhaaha. Next day still have to treat them swensens...
