Uh ha....!!! Back from camp. Seriously, I do feel very very proud of my group and also myself! HAHA.. We WALKED 30 clicks= 30KM for 12+hours. And is really pure walking from 10pm to 1045am the next day.
It's really tired and sleepy for most of us. We persevere on and on and on. Some wanted to give up, still we managed to carry on with them grumbling all along the way. Hmm.. they are just too tired.
Our legs are aching and still we have got to move on to get to our destination. It was a very good experience for us. Seeing night life of Singapore and also some memorial places. All these is what I have never ever seen till expedition. Great opener for me!
During the walk, yes I feel tired but I have never wanted to give up. I just want to reach our last checkpoint as fast as possible. This is the first journey out of the 5 years of expedition I had, that I have never took a ride from the safety vehicle and complete ALL 14 checkpoints! Praise me.. :D
What's most important is that I'm with a self-motivated team. Good job everyone! Now let me tell u all the checkpoints... ( you might not know the place too)
1st: BB HQ (beside Great World City)
2nd: Muhd Sultan Rd
3rd: Fort Canning
4th: Macdonalds House
5th: War memorial
6th: Padang
7th: Hong Lim Park
8th: Sri Mariamman Temple
9th: Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
10th: SCDF 1st Div HQ
11th: Cold Storage-Jelita
12th: Police Kins Training Camp
13th: Old Fort Factory
14th: Fajar Secondary School
From checkpoint 9 onwards.. The road is named as endurance route.. Why? Cause the route is super long and also "never ending" Can you imagine the feeling of a combination of tiredness, aching in your legs and sleepiness plus walking a never ending road?? COOL man!!
Come come... Let me relate to you my feelings!!! XD I am super energetic when I started off walking.. Then I was almost turned off at around 130am but still I'm not tired just sleepy.. After which, I got super energetic again around 3am. My tiredness came only during the endurance route. My muscle started to ache. Still I carry on with some grumbling of course.
Yeah... When I reached the last checkpoint, for the past 4 years of experience, I lay flat and went into a deep deep sleep. But this year super super different! I'm still so energetic that I can still joke around! Still as hyper as I used to be. Madness!
Everyone is like super dead.. I'm the last WOMAN standing!!! hahah... For my team, guy got tired faster then my girls.. And is the girls and some guys wanted to carry on. And is some guys had the thoughts of giving up! Girls are ruling... :X
Yea... This is a super different expedition for me! I am not having any signs of tirness till now. Except for some areas which are aching. Amazing uh!!! WAHAHAH!!! Strong me... I wanna walk again!! Treat it as on diet man!!
Whats more.. My team was the ONE and ONLY team that complete the whole route!!! Congrats. HAHA... soooooo PrOuD!! :P The sec 3s are their Mentors and as for me and my Di, are the Senior Mentors.. Sound big ar? The most frustrating thing is that if they go the wrong way or long way we gotta follow them even though we knew it.
Worst come to worst, backtrack and walk extra mile.... :( hahaha!!! still it's nothing but fun Fun FUn FUN!!!! Never regreted taking up the post as their Senior Mentor! WOO...
Enough about the camp. I got to know about the new Excos of SIT club... As I predicted, Guang Yun got into Excos.. Congrats! For those who have wanted to be in Exco but never get in. I know their feeling. I feel that being able to get a post a not is not important. So hope they won't put it to heart... Stay cool always pals.
A post is only a recognition for the hard work and leadership skill one's has. What's more important is the experience, friendship and enjoyable moments. So what if you got a post? You still need everyone with or without a post to make an event/activity a success! Everyone is equally important isn't it?
Sometimes I wonder why do humans having this mentality that having a post is something to be proud of? I just simply can't understand. They can fight or even badmouth others. Humans are scary. I'm a human so it implies to me as well =)
Appearance is also biased. Take fishes as example.. Goldfish, Angelfish etc... Beautiful aren't they? Yes! They are. People keep them as pets, enjoy looking at them. Are they used to feed other bigger fishes? NO!!
Drain fishes.. Argh, don't know what breeds they are. Just some kinda ugly looking species. Are they kept as pets? Do people enjoy looking at them? NO! They are food to other animals! Aren't they living things as well? Don't they have feelings or the rights to live? Humans are always selfish!
Ok some people may argue the right out of it. So what about those disabled or even not so good looking humans? Aren't they being judged the way as we humans judge the fishes? It's not an offence to be ugly or even fat. It's not stated in any laws anyway. So why are they always be at a disadvantage? People just don't give a damn to them at all!
On the other hand... Pretty, slim, handsome etc etc, gets more advantages and even attention. Yes I admit I'm neither pretty nor slim. I'm not feeling jealous about them. It's true that I envy them. But that does not means that they have the right to look down on people like us? It's not that something has happen to me. I'm just feel upset about those biasesness..
Won't you feel depress when someone said something like : " hey you are so fat, look at that slim lady!" blah blah blah... Why should we live for others? We could just ignore them and be ourselves with confidence! uh.. saying is easy, doing is hard! Even me myself can't do it..
We must live for ourselves... Be it fat or ugly, pretty or slim... We are one and only, unique in our own ways. We are created just the way we are. It's all God's will.
