Haven't had the time to talk about HRC. Muahahaha, so I had an enjoyable day last Saturday. Did the usual and reached school at around 6.40pm. It was still dark at that time, haha. Clifford, Siang Long and a few others were already there when I arrived. And so we waited for the rest to come. Eventually, CI Melvin, CI Khairul, Mrs Lim and more of my other squadmates arrived.
Boarded the bus and headed for Changi Jetty. We only saw Maris there, we were a little early. Had to wait for the rest of the Area 5, Bartley, PLMGS, Cedar, Yuying & other schools from another area. PL were the first to go on the bumboat, however we beat them to it, haha. Our driver was faster, yes! Then, at Pulau Ubin, some of us bought breakfast ._. That gave PL the headstart, as they started to walk to the campsite first. At the point of time, I had entirely no clue as to where the other schools were, except for Yuying.
As we walked, we did some cheers, it was really funny. I estimate we took about 20 mins to get to the campsite. Ran all the way to the assembly area. Guess what? Only one school was there before us, I can't remember the name of the school but I know its not from Area 5. Anyway, we beat PL again (yes!). They were no where to be seen.
Our first activity was ARC (Advanced Rope Challenge). I really don't know why the instructor chose PL and St Gabs to go together but anyway, we have to put on our helmet and harness. PL went first and we were the "ladder-man" (: We had to pull a rope to move the ladder in order to assist them. It's difficult to describe unless I show you the photos. There were two obstacle course, I had a go on the harder one. Woah, the feeling was just great. Halfway through, my legs began to wobble. I was getting tired too. But I know I couldn't give up because the only way down was to complete the course. After a few scary moments, I completed the course :)
Next was the flying fox, it was a really nice experience too. I felt I was flying when I did the flying fox. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to go through the tunnel simply because of the weather. How unpredictable can the weather be? It was sunny only a few hours ago. And by the time we wanted to try the tunnel, the dark grey clouds were already moving in. That was about all!

I'm someone who is shy, especially towards girls because all my life I've been studying in a all boys school. I only have a brother and almost all of my cousins are guys too, so I can't help it (: However, I really open up when I know my friends well enough, we'll do things together, have fun together and maybe even study together? haha
