Ahh back home
I checked the online website tracker
apparently only 2 people visited my blog
kudos to you for visiting anyway.
Well basically I was at camp
starting maniacal fires
cooking and hiking.
did absolutely nothing for the first day except for the outdoor cooking test.
That was fun, spent 2 hours trying to light a fire with twigs and leaves. The Sec 2 people were all ''Bow to me and worship the grass I now trod upon.''
They spent all their time attempting to start a fire.
Well lets put it this way, they couldn't light a fire even if they had petrol and lit matches stuck up their arse.
The moment they left.
On my first attempt
I managed to get the fire going steady
well what can I say, let the maniac do the pyro.
Then the most depressing thing happened, it rained...
No clouds no nothing,
one moment ''YESS FIRE!SUCK MY PIANIST!"
The next we knew,
we were caught in the middle of a marble throwing contest.
Welcome to the tropical rainy season
it doesn't just rain, it freaking pours.
Next day, set off for the hike,
with 6liters of water and enough food to last us 3 days.
At the very last moment the checkpoints were changed
we were gived an extra 5km to walk. ''
marvelous...."
So for the first 3 hours of our journey, we walked 8km.
We hardly moved.
Some fat guy was slowing us down,
he had to rest every bus stop and pee every 5 mins.
Thank God he had an asthma attack during the hike,
and he had to drop out
to give you a idea of how slow he was...
We covered 15km in 2 hours.
Then, while we were hiking in the middle of some obscure road
a little car came speeding along, and we were "like what the hell?"
the car stopped beside us and the door swung open and......
Turns out that little fat bastard went to the food court to eat chicken rice.
And we took 6 hours to cover the rest of the 8km....
The secend day,
was the most surreal of all.
It rained the whole day,
I mean we couldn't see 100meters infront of us.
walking along the main road......
With all the cars zooming pass you at like 190miles per hour
with you try to cross the road then a Nissan rips along the road and tears your body in half.
And did I mention that
THE WHOLE GOD FORSAKEN ROAD WAS 6KM LONG?
We could see the other end.(when it was not rainingfor like 2mins)
like a never ending road,
depressing.......
the thunderstorm wasn't really helping.....
to cut the long story short we made it as the last team,
from the first team to the last.
Darn, goes to show that the chain is as strong as its weakest link.
