hihi sorry for nothing posting for so long because i was sort of out at sea during this 4 days. i was at AKE since friday thus i was unable to post anything so today i am going to describe everything that happened in this 4 days 3 night camp.

Friday, 2nd June 2006
today i woke up at about 10 am. i was not sure if i should go for AKE or not as the last experience was a tiring and painful one. woke up and i strightaway swtiched on the computer and the ipod to start a new day. when i was online msn messenger, i asked biondi if i should go. his GOOD persuasion made me want to go for AKE so i packed my bag while playing DOTA with him. mad right early morning before AKE play DOTA. then when it was about 2 45, i headed for school as there was another bus to fetch us there again. then we played basketball before leaving school and then when we left school zi heng found out his wallet was still in school and told miss sia to turn back but she couldnt so we continued on our way. it was the same bus which fetch the 13 of us there for mini expedition but now there is only 7 of us left. we chatted on the bus very loudly even though there is the presence of miss sia. i scolded a bad word on the bus and she scolded me. so poor thing right get scolding before AKE. when we arrived, we went and this time we were late for more than 2 hours because we are the so called "VIP". then we fall in and had dinner which is quite nice, compared to the mini expedition which is very bad. then we changed into our sleeping attire which is like the same everything and went to sembawang camp to sleep again. fell asleep quite late though because was not tired but i knew that a journey was coming towards me tomorrow.

today i was woken up by the CLT at about 5 30. i was first to wake up and syariff is always the last as he is always tired. then we walked back to the yatch club and we had our breakfast there and soon it was time to kayak. we were supposed to kayak from sembawang to changi today, stopping halfway for lunch in the afternoon. i had to partner my old partner again and we set off with great speed even though he was not that good at kayaking. i keep encouraging him to go faster and we soon caught up with zi heng and wei hao and then biondi and syariff and at last syafiq and shahdan. we then had some fun playing around keep banging each other. we all didnt want to go front as we want to experience the life of a middle-class. after a while we all chiong up and we soon loss track of where zo heng and wei hao is. when we were about to reach our destination zi heng and wei hao appeared out of no where and overtook me. i asked them later where they came from and they told all of us the story of them taking the SEAGULL EXPRESS. they told us that it was very fast and very fun as the sir on board welcomed them in and even told them the time taken for them to reach to the destination. then we had our lunch which was also very nice. luckily man but too bad it was too little and we were not allowed to get second serving so we just set out of the next half of the journey to changi. this time i told my partner to slack as it was not a competition and we slacked all the way there with zi heng and wei hao. we chatted along the way about our chinese homework and what homework we had done. even though we were all slacking we were all still dam tired. imagine u slack kayaking for 4 hours plus, would you be tired. of course you would. when we reached changi, we were all dam relieved. even though we were number 40 and 41, we were slacking. haha slack and i thought we both kayaks were last and second last. then we had dinner which was so nice i still miss it right here right now. but too bad we couldnt take second serving. then we sat at the side looking at the sea while we chat. oh yah we were talking about the scgs girls ( nuclear-powered robots ) not because they are fast at kayaking but because they were always very standard, more standard than me. wow and worst of all because i said one of the scgs girl is cute i was like totally screwed for the whole camp. because of syariff spreading of me wanting her number, soon almost everyone knows. even some CLT knows and they asked me if i wanted her number. i do not want her number la. even some guys came to me and told me they also want her number and asked if i wanted to ask with them. AKE camp become relationship camp. then shahdan tore up biondi's shirt which was like the dumbest thing. biondi was camplaining for 30 mins about how sad he is and how bastard shahdan is as we were about to ahve our photo taken. biondi quickly went to change hs shirt and we were all laughing like hell. then we had our photo taken and then we had our nightsnack. then soon we all went to our sleeping area and syariff and the rest were all still talking about the scgs girl and keep on disturb her by telling her that i want her number and keep laughing at me saying that i was rejected or something. haha what a screwed up camp this is. then i went to sleep after that as that area was cool because of the sea breeze at night and the comfatable floor.

we woke up to a brand new days with aching arms. my arm was u sunburnt in a very funny state. it is undescriable here and you will only understand if i show you personally. okay then we were told that today we only need to kayak from chnagi to east coast park and that would be the END of AKE. we were all so excited as it was only 4 hours away. then we all quickly went to a quick start . as the others started first and i started last, i couldnt find them for the whole trip. soon we found out that our kayak had a hole and water was rushing in fast and it had already covered my scandals. we tried our best to kayak but the kayak wont even burge. i tired to stabilize the kayak as the waves plus the water in the kayak was going to capsize us. when the water coved by whole leg i knew that i was dead man. and soon a big wave came and capsize us. we were rescured by the LAST kayak and i mean LAST kayak. and that means we are second last. we quickly emptied the kayak of water and chiong all the way. i encouraged him and he finally understand what is MIND OVER MATTER. we ovetook 20+ kayaks and we reached there is less than 1 hour from the mid point. we told our story of why we were slow and everyone was just glad i could complete it. then we had lunch at east coast park and then waited for more than 3 hours for tunners to carry the kayaks back to kallang and sembawang and for the buses to arrive to pick us up to kallang to sleep overnight. when we reached kallang we were all very happy as it was the end and we would be receiving our badge tomorrow. then we had dinner and we saw the warrant officer playing with biondi's LONG LOSS WHISTLE. as biondi had no balls to ask it back, it seems that he has a new toy to play with which he did. then we went to clean up our bunk. then at night the CLT asked for our feedbacks. there were alot of bad feedbacks about the AKE about the waiting time and the distance travelled and also about the little food that was given. then one of the captain came and told us about last time AKE or shoud i say AIE (around island expedition ) if i remembered correctly. the kayakers had to kayak around singapore which is 96km all together in 3 days and that they were only given a small green packet of dry ration which was to be eaten on the way. what kind of mad expedition was that. one of the CLT that had gone through that was sitting behind and he look alive to me. that showed us that MIND OVER MATTER is something that can be pushed further that what our minds can even think of. then we soon had our nightsnack and we went back to our bunk to sleep. thoughts about what the captain said just now was in my head all night and soon i fell asleep.

today i woke up with a neck ache as i sleep on a dam dirty floor with my bag supporting my head as syariff took my sleeping bag. then we went out to have our breakfast. then my group was called to wash the toliet floor. even though it sounded like a dirty job and tiring one but it was actually easy. we went in the used 2 hose to spray the whole floor while one group with the broom sweep all the dirty water into the drainage. soon we took a bus back to sembawang yatch club where we would be receiving our AKE BADGE ( what we came here for, or is it the experience ). when we arrived we waited about 2 hours for the commandon to arrive to present to us single handedly the badge to each and everyone of us. then after the prize presentation we had our buffet. i ate 3 rounds as i was like totally so hungry and brought some food into the toliet so that everyone who was bathing could eat. i was last to bath and then we were the first school to leave sembawang camp with the help or miss nadira. then shahdan the NUMBER ONE BASTARD ( what biondi called him) tore up my pants which had a small hole. now it has a 6 cm hole which is like OMG but i did not change. then when we were walking out, we met a bus uncle which kindly drove us to the bus stop. thanks man. then we sat the bus to north point macdonals to eat while zi heng followed wei hao and miss nadira home as he left his wallet in school on friday while playing basketball. we went there and i ate again mcspicy set. then we went to the arcade to play. i wanted to play house of the dead 4 but it was crowed all the time so i went to play outrun 2. loss to shahdan when i gave him chance by driving with one hand, sorry ronald haha. then later went stright go home and now i am here. okay this is all i have for today now i am back and hope no one missed me while i am gone.
