Day 1 of Bintan ! :
Woke up early and changed bag cause that one totally cmi , actually want to meet Xinying and Nadia but cause it was raining so daddy just send me to school . Bused to Tanan Merah ferry terminal and boarded the ferry to Bintan , the ferry was so small and shaky that a lot people was seasick. Played Mahjong/Taptap using XInying's iphone to kill time as the whole ride was 2hours(?) plus . Then reached Tanjung Pinang Ferry Terminal and Xinying got pulled to another bus by Miss Seah so sat with Weijuan and off we went to Loola Resort . The whole bus ride was rocky as the road was super uneven and was 1hour(?) plus . Slept awhile , and when we reached there , couldn't believe that its called a resort , its nothing like a resort lol . That day's activity was Flying Fox and Kayaking . Flying Fox was super fun , at first dare not jump but bobian le right , so jumped down , damn scary and landed in sea water , so salty ew . Then went for kayaking , me and Julia went the wrong way and was stuck but lucky with the instructor help , was able to reach the destination :D Reached shore via dragonboat , very tiring had to paddle so hard, but was fun :D ! The food there was cmi but no choice , then went to dorm and was so sucky , no blankets and alot of bugs , toilet no flush system had to tahan cannot do big business lol . Day 1 was nothing compared to Day 2 , seriously ._. Ohya and had to prepare 1 skit + 1 cheer for the next day's campfire , and we were like not contributing anything , only Kangle and Weiheng keep zi-highing . So in the end i had to be chicken , wtf and the other chicken is Kangle .
Day 2 of Bintan ! :
Let's start with pictures first ! :D
 Low tide , you can see the seabed , wonderful view :) |
Artsy right ? love the view from there :D
Day 2 was like oh-my-god can die , morning had morning exercise and need to run 4 rounds around the soccer field , then had breakfast was oh so good ! Best , had noodles , yum . Had CIP that day and there were 2 groups , first group had to helped build the road and the second group had to help paint the walls , my group was to build the road :D Our group was split into 3 groups , collect sand , collect bricks and lay the bricks , mine was to lay the bricks . Overall it was fun , tiring , but was worth it . I tried to do as fast as i can as in my mind i was thinking : The more we do , the lesser the people who are doing next would be lesser :D and there were kids who were at the side looking at us , so motivated :D
Was so dirty after that , went back to Loola to have lunch , then went for hiking . It was the worst activity but it was a good experience as it's my first time climbing such thing . At first we had to walk through a pathway of tall grasses and jumped through a puddle with chicken poo . Unlucky ones would step into it , and i was one of it lol , one leg though . We thought that was already starting of the trekking , but no that was only the ' icing on the cake ' as what Xinying calls it . We had to walk a bit more and tadah we reached the entrance of the forest , it was 170m high , and the instructor set us a target of 1 hour up and 1 hour down . It was so steep and very tiring . Nearly fell down a lot of times , but with the help of motivation of Xinying and the rest , we all made it to the top with only 35min . And the scenery on top was magnificent , everyone was joking that we flying fox down hahas . Took group photo and down we went . Lucky there were ropes to help us , and Xinying keep fell down , so clumsy ;x Aiqi and Lynette were there to encourage me , and asked about me when i fell down ;x love them :') made it down with a a timing of 1 hour :D had blisters and the back of my foot was injured cause of friction T_T walked back and all of us were dead tired .
Top of the forest :) Didn't take the scenery though .
Took bus and after a few minutes reached the place for Boomnet . Took a small boat to a bigger by a bit one and had to jump into a net from the first level and second level , omg that's the most fun activity ever ! Was scared at first but just thought that aiyah just jump la and jumped , it's scary at first but got the kick and kept going to jump . At the end , after we finished we stayed in the net and the boat took off nearer to shore , and we girls in the net just go with the flow , and keep flowing from left to right , so fun ^^ though the water is so salty , we manage to convince the teachers to try it out too :D So fun !!
K la a bit stupid cause this of cause not us , kope from fb page of loola , but just a picture to show what its like :D
Headed back to shower and after that had campfire ! We were like very nervous already , cause we didn't prepare anything at all , cheer also last minute think one , ' chicken ' last minute change to Joshua and Kangle ;p Everything improvise on the spot , and guess what we won LOL ! all of us were like shock , didnt expected that , we even thought about going up say thank you already LOL , and going to volunteer to clean up cause Mr Tay say loser need clean , but in the end also no have . Went back bunk and nights out .
3rd Day of Bintan ! :
Stayed in Loola the whole day , and went for Archery first . Fun , but hard to shoot and only manage to hit the board with 1 arrow lol pathetic much . Then went for skywalk ! Omg ,though it's scary but it was FUN ! SERIOUSLY IT'S FUN :D !!!!!
You have to climb up the ladder first and when you reached the top you have to hold onto your harness the rope and walked to the middle of the log and jump down . YES JUMP DOWN LOL . K at first when you're climbing you would be like ' Aiya , not scared la , so easy walk and jump down ' But no , when you reached the top , your legs would be shaking tremendously and you cannot walk , and your hand would just be grabbing the ladder and would not let go . Since everyone was like asking me to let go , then i let go and walked to the middle , the jumping down part was the best LOL , you would be feeling like your heart want come out like that ;x but it was FUN :D then went to climb coconut tree , not compulsory but just want to try out :D Not bad very fun , though very tiring and hard to find the cuts for your leg . After a while , went back to pack stuff and were off to Tanjung Pinang Ferry Terminal , slept all the way . Boarded the ferry and it was better than the one we sat to Bintan , eat a lot things from Xinying , Aiqi and Eve ;p Then watched free movie : Kungfu Panda 2 ! :D
Yupp ! Reached Singapore and was one of the seven to seat in the van . But turns out the van is just the same bus as what the other group took , played Taptap using Xinying's phone , and our bus overtook the other bus :p Reached school and went back home :D
PICTURES :D
THIS CONCLUDES MY WHOLE BINTAN TRIP YAYYYYYYYY :D , THOUGH IT'S TIRING BUT IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST CAMP HAHAHA :D
