Day 3:
I woke up and see me and my colleagues sleeping so soundly and I went out of my tent to stroll sround then Owen went up to me to ask whether they could go to the toilet ( and the toilet is not those you find in Singapore but bushes). I was like why do you need to asked me and what if I did not woke up so early? Hahaha.
When all my colleagues woke up at around 6.30 am to 7 am, they told me the same story, yesterday night they saw a log scorpion while Syukri was playing shadow and everyone was awake except for me and Linus. Wth, I asked them why no one wake me up, they said they shouted and Linus woke up but I was still snoring so loudly. Then everyone ran out of the tent leaving me alone. Omg O_O!? then they said I did not get stung by that scorpion because Joshua had went into the tent and killed it or else....yeah, you the readers should know if someone get stung by a scorpion that outcome.
Our base camp..........
Shun Hua teaching them how to start a fire correctly, how to put the rocks in the correct formation etc....
After talking for a while, Shun Hua finally started the fire..........
After they finished listening, now is their turn to show it. Then they had packet lunch and they prepared to go to Chek Jawa while I stayed back to give Sir Kiat a helping hand. While we were packing all the logistics stuff like the lamps, ground sheet, portable stoves, battery etc, we listened to some songs and we were chatting and I thought I am the only one staying back to help Sir Kiat. He told me that he asked Andre and Garder to stay back to help him and they were now washing all the things we had used to cooked dinner. I was asked to tie lots of poles together and that was my first time doing a new knot that I had learned from Sir Kiat. When we had almost finished packing all the things, Garder suggested why not we cycle to Chek Jawa. Andre and I agreed so we rode the bikes that was rented as during day 1 and 2, instructors need bikes to cycle from one place to another to assist each other. While we were riding our bikes, I realised that all the bikes brakes are all spoilt. Then Garder saw a China lady in front and both of them dodged in the same direction. Nothing happened to the China lady but our muslim friend on the other side suffered a muscle cramp so we told that lady our friend is alright, they go ahead first. After a while we continued our journey then suddenly one of us thought what if they are on their way back base camp!? We made a detour back.
The recap on what they did and the lessons they had learned. Try to spot a girl cub-scout in the group..............
We packed our stuff and we, the instuctors were asked to carry boxes packed with a lot of things which is very, very heavy. My sub-camp was sub-camp 1 (every sub camp consisted of 2 patrols) so we were asked to go off first. I talked to my group and asked for some opinions and they were saying stuffs like this STC hope sir fail me or else I won't be allowed for the next STC (if they pass, sir will must likely not let they go as STC have a limited amount of people like this round is 35), some said that I am quite good, during the hike I taught them several new stuffs and they appreciated that during this STC 2009, I took care of them and helped them built Bashal, helped them cooked their food as they heard from their friends that their instructor did not help them with their cooking, etc. This was my first camp being an instructor and recieving lots of positive feedback :) Suddenly pesky Gerome threw the thing he was carrying on to the box which I am carrying and that doubled the load which I was carrying. He told me that he was training me so that I will have muscle when I went back mainland and then I willl have lots of girlfriend then their scouts teacher taught them a wedding song and they sang the song trying to disturbed me, LOL
What I had noticed from my patrol is that when day 1 I saw them they were like unlikely to passed this STC. Shun Hua scolded them during several activities and randomely I would test whether had they learned anything from those scoldings day by day they changed and if you were in my shoes, you will be touched by them as they were very determined though they were last to returned and last to finished all the activities but they showed me what they were capable when they were starting a fire after Shun Hua taught everyone. They were the first to set up a fire and the most organised. If there is the best group award, I would had gave to patrol 1. I am proud to be the instructor of patrol 1 :)
Patrol 1, You Are The Best Group!!!
