Camp 2 OBS [Floating Pontoon] 10.38pm

Last night, we going to spend on this pontoon. We have a deep briefing on the ultimate challenge [the main agenda finally arrived in our camp] to us in a serious state. Being thrown to us we must complete it.

4 of our friends were elected. Guess who this people are. “Foreigners!” I hate it! Sucks! Never mind. 4 of them were elected to be the leader of this challenge and they’re going to lead us back to camp 2 in a detour situation. What I mean by detour situation? It is to go by the long way back to camp 2 not by walking or hiking by kayaking. One of the leader was Francis – one of my group members in the group but not only that he was one of the partner in the kayaking also.

So I was praying to the Gohonzon said that “can I be the front man, as I want to see the scenery first, I want to see how is feel to go on a sea journey as a navigator. This sea journey or called the ultimate challenge was to ask to make a diamond shape so that the ships at the ‘expressway’ can see us in their radar. So my kayak happens to be the navigator where the leader supposed to be and 1 kayak will be at the left hand side. This kayak needs to estimate the distance of the kayak and the shoreline about 50meters – called the port side. The other will be at the right hand side called the star-board. The job is to keep them close so that it will not spread out to the main sea. Last but not least we have the sweeper to encourage the slower one to be faster.

The distance was estimated about 14.5km from camp 3 detouring around Pulau Ubin and we needed to set off at 6.30pm in the morning. Slept less than 3 hours because of the pressure that my bladder gave, I have made the rest of the kayak finished the whole journey in a very good record. In the early morning we need to do centuries duties. What are this duties for? It is to prevent the dogs that we have around us to come closer to the tents.

After finishing 45 minutes, we went back to sleep for another 30mins. Getting ready for the ultimate challenge. By the way, we didn’t bathe that night, we only have a shower bathe.
After finishing unpitch the tents, we have a quick breakfast before setting out. We were in the sea for almost 4 and a half hours kayaking back to camp 2 before lunch time. We did it in the end! Congrats everyone! After everyone reach the shore, we wash the kayak before putting back.

We have a good day doing kayaking after all, I also quarrel a lot with foreigner – Marita on the kayak.

Activities for the whole day: 1. Kayaking. 2. Lunch. 3. Pitch tents. 4. Cooking. 5. Night walk.

Talking back to cooking, I told you the boys and especially me were angry about the food. We cook the last dinner in OBS. I did revenge. I told the soup and hide it. After the girls finish eating I purposely cook the soup in front of them before eating up. Haha I was the only one that is the happiest of all. You see how evil I am!

Night walk is also another activity I like; I can’t even see anything in the dark as we blindfolded walking into the forest.
