mhmm ok lets see .. where to start .. been doing quite alot of things lately. mostly camps. well for one thing my internet is down.. like coma down.. like dead down 6 feet underground .. BUT it comes alive once in a while.. so yeah oh so glad for u.. it came alive and i can finally blog for a while. well then .. lets not waste any time
once upon a time.. there this group of adventurous scouts. who decided to go camping in kolam air panas, kerling. so without planning.. or.. well.. with one day's worth of planning. they travers into a camping ground which was already cleared, beside the roadside, near a hot water spring. well there were facilities near by to bluff u that it was a good camping ground. but oh no. we got tricked. in the pictures they showed us, the toilet looked really sleek, but once u went in there in real life, u'll feel like killing yourself. then there was the hot water spring. which was filled with.. algea. =P sad.
well abt the camp. there were some utterly surprising things that happened. for one. one the firstday (thank God it didn't rain. i prayed so hard it wouldn't) well after we set up our morden tents. well the sun was out and blazing hot. then all of a sudden, a tent pole snapped. the tent lost its dome shape figure and became a sharp pyramid. well we taught it was normal, meaby the tent was just old. but after that tent, another tent followed... then soon after, most of the tents started breaking.. oh crap, this is only the 1st day.. our conclusion that we could come up with, the sun was soooooooo uber hot, that the carbon fiber poles of the 'cheap chiana brand' tents melted and then snapped. sigh. well the soulution to this problem (which we figured out too late) was to throw wet towels or shirts over the top to keep it cool. or we could just build a ponco above it (if there was a tree near by)
other than getting crappy tents for the camp. our equipment was ill planned too. us bringing 4 preasure lamps. and forgetting to bring the servicing box. sigh.. without proper tools to fix the lamps we could only use one for one night. other than that. we did bring cloth to oil the equipment at night. well at least we tried to have a mantainence session to keep our tools (parang, hammer, ect) from getting too rusty. so yeah our solution was .. we didn't use the lamps at all for the 2nd and 3rd night. and we took a triangle bandage from the 1st aid box for the cloth. =P
oh yeah and other than that.. i have more negative things to say abt the camp. well for one thing.. wait for the 1 thousand thing.. we didn't have a clean water source. well the river near by was really murky because it was quite low down. unlike real camping places in the jungle where u had crystle clean water. and the toilet water was just equally as bad because it was just pumped up river water. we tried collecting rain water, but it tasted like ponco's. our solution? we hid the colour (and taste) of the water with tea bags.. lots of tea bags. and other than that, we imported bottled water from outside. due to such a limited supply of water, we had to really ration the water so careful that we don't over use the water and dry out our water source before the next batch came in.. or well. atlease some of use tried to save water..
the last night was the worst .. apart from the past two days that it rained. oh man i tell u. the last night it rained for more than 15 hours. so .. (forgive my voulgar use of language) suckie .... man... the whole night was bl**die wet .. toot.. we didn't even have proper shelters... for one i pity the cooks who had to work under the super low 'kitchen' (i don't know if that place could even be counted as a kitchen) .. ouch back pain. if u don't get what i'm talking abt, u should be grateful, for those who went for camp and experinced it.. thank God ur still alive. man.. the last night was so wet and damp i could.. kill myslef. solution? a group of us went to the hot water srping to soak. ahhhhh supppperrrr niceeee... then changed into my last pair of dry cloths =D
well the bad part didn't end there. on our way back to skool we met up with this 'crazy' (sorry i had to call her that, but she said it herself) old grandma. that just wouldn't let the bus go through.. man we were so close to reaching the park. solution? thanks to eugien's mom who talked to the untie and saved our day. hmm but my solution would be to ask the bus driver to just go and park infront of skool. whouldn't that have made live so much more easier. i mean... think abt the equipment .. see we went to the park. we had to unload all the equip off the bus ... we had to bring some back into the skool (especially the heavy stuff) so we would have to load it back up onto a car.. drive to the front gate of skool and unload it.. i meant.. what the heck..?? waste of time..
but yeah anyways.. had to cabut early because my uncle was fetching me back.. so grabbed my 3 ice boxes (haha yeah and everything else in it) and went back home. sigh.. haha what a camp comandant eh? skipped all the ughh packing. =P hmmm u all probebly feel like killing me now don't u..
so yeah as the camp comandant of this camp. i have to appologise (on behalf of mother nature and fater wether) that it was such a crappy camp. to tell you the truth it was the WORST camp in my life.. for those who are 1st timers and this is the thing u experinced.. i am so sorry. but trust me, camps should have been much more fun than this .. and it will be
explanation... some of u guys might be thinking "if the camp site was so utterly crappy.... why did u choose it?" ... well "didnt u send a scout of something to check out the camp site earlier?" oh well. just for the info of u all.. see this camp site was chosen by the scouters (no nooo i'm not putting the blame on anyone) well see the reason being there was supposed to be a teacher comming too. well now u don't expect a teacher to hike into the deep jungle for 30 minutes.
well so the moral of this all.. to sum up my whole post..
"FAILING TO PLAN, IS PLANNING TO FAIL!"
sigh yeah.. so thats that.. i'm so glad the camp ended.
"before the camp started, i was eagerly excitingly waiting for it. when the camp started, it didn't turn out to be all that nice as i had expected. during the camp, i couldn't wait for it to end. when the camp ended, i rejoiced"
uleung-the wrost camp comandant.
