1st day, okay actually nothing happened, just that the day there I felt this camp is the best camp from 2003 till today!! A camp that the dormitory had air-conditioners, and some of us stock up their chewing gums and bubble gums. One of them even purchased two dozens, 120 gums. Haha.
We then attended the debrief session and come out with our group name, Nameless C. While widely known as Nameless Space C. Till now, I still cannot accept the fact why mosquito keep wanting to bite me, it follow me back from Perak all the way to Jurong? As usual, I can be woken up anytime, anywhere and by anyone, through all forms. 1 Kung Fu Panda clip has make me stay up for at least an hour before I get back to sleep.

Weibin woke me up!! We having Pinnacle Adventure and White Water Rafting on tuesday. We then play tai ti/di for a lot of rounds till Shannon loses with his three dis. Can anyoen believe it? 3 out of 4 strongest cards in the game, and he became the loser, I would have cry if this happened to me. We then take bus to gopeng for Pinnacle and Whitewater. Most of us slept inside the bus, and after that we took a pickup by standing at the back. The pickup sped, and we are all in good moods. Pinnacle adventure rocks!!!
Rock 1 : The rock was extremely nice, they make use of the natural surroundings up there, and you couldn't find it anywhere in Singapore. (Bukit Timah hill cannot climb =P) And it's great to slack up there, trust me!!
Rock 2 : It began to become more challenging than before, the peak of the amazement was went going down, the rope ladder appears to be well tied initially, but when a near distance away from the ground, it starts to shake weirdly.
Flying fox : All of us just climb and climb, while Miss Ker commented the "goyang goyang" (shaky shaky) things are not well like by her. Everyone of us climb it for the sake of the flying fox, haha! What it freaked me was the crossing of the planks, it hurt my spectacles, gosh terrible!!
Our lunch and proceeded to white water rafting.
The wave was so strong, swim against the current is our first test!! I was tricked in fact, as when I was about to swim the area was seriously deep there!!!
Weilun, Shronn, Siting rafted with me, along with two guides, one of them fell down later. The whole river there was only a few huge currents. Along the way, we make rainbows when we were resting, and not knowing why, our raft was always the last to arrive.
Siting, Shronn, later fell down to the water owing the thanks of the guides. In the end, weilun and I had to row the raft ourselves.
Later something wrong with our raft, and few of us went in the grass, it was irritating, when u can see me killing animals, (not a good sign). I was rowing rowing and rowing until one red ant bite my leg!!!!! However the activities was very nice.
Went shopping with ryan, where he go activate his prepaid to call others. While we go eat macdonalds!! The night I was woken up by the sound clip name- No Po*k A* All

The breakfast rocks, and we check out YMCA and proceeded to Gua Tempurung, and entered the restricted area for the short water adventure, I thought my watch weren't going to survive initially when climbing under the rocks. Without knowing, the guide led us 15th storeys us , and the rat cave, we have teamwork out of a sudden when everyone of us took care of each other. Though it's wet, but the price to learn and explore things which you can't do it without the help of the guides, it will definitely worth a lot.
After that we play the bang bang chuckey, and Shannon was asked to pump a lot!! :P
We have our lunch, when most of us have a few servings of food.
Proceeded for reflections and our mini solo walk, when few of us were slacking down there. Have a bath there and off to Kuala Lumpur!! On our way there, the movie there, I do not wish to describe haha. Dinner and check into the hotel, we became so high and finally fell asleep @ about 2 am++? Meanwhile, prank calls were heard the whole night when we finally decided to plug out!

We then woke up, and wash up and went for the breakfast. You can really eat a lot there, the food seriously is okay-okay. Proceed to malacca for lunch, when few of us was prank again by a certain groups of people, with faces stained with toothpaste. We had nonya food there, and wen to orphanage . The kids there are really adorable, able to visit them and play with them, I would say it's my honour. Farewell kids, I will visit you next time when I am free around malacca.
On the way to Malacca, Mr Au Yong (tour guide) share with us about the history of Perak, Selangor, and Malacca. I have done some researches!!
Malacca Sultanate- By Sultan Iskandar Shah aka Parameswara
Established- Year 1402
Disestablished- Year 1528
Last Monarchy- Mahmud Shah
He gave birth to two sons and both of them become sultan of perak and sultan or johor respectively. If I am not wrong (better not be errors or what , don't mean it anyway)
Selangor- Two times paid by the central government of malaysia to build up putrajaya and kuala lumpur.
Speaking of which, he mentioned Admiral Zheng He, which others will mention too. I researched also, he's a chinese hui group (muslim), probably that's why the emperor sent him there to make friends with the Malacca Sultan (last time).
After that we went to the local products store, where I just grab anything I saw, which I told myself I need to purchase some food for others in Singapore.
Cross the Border and Home Sweet Home.
To all campers!!! ATTENTION!
We have a great time interacting with each other, though it may be a short few days trip, it have carved a friendship inside all of us. For that I hope that, when we get back to school, we will become closer and closer to work with!! And for now, pictures!!
That's all. Nights everyone!!
