Finally back from New Zealand trip and Survival training course. The New Zealand trip is an exciting and unforgettable one and for the survival course it is a tiring and strenuous one.
NZ TripDay 1We went to changi airport to have my luggage checked in and boarded the plane...Day 2After the 10hrs long flight we were all dead tired but still we visited green bay high school and went to visit a class and had a tour round the school. Following that we went to Mount Edon and after that went for dinner.Day 3Went back to Green Bay High School. Went to have a in depth understanding on how they have their lessons. And after that we took a 3hrs bus ride to Rotoroa and stay in the holiday apartment where we have to wash our own dishes and tidy our own apartments. Played category 5 with mr chew.Day 4Went to visit the kiwi360 and it was really an eye opener for me as the place was like so damn big. Following that we went Blokarting. Blokart is a sport which require the wind to help u move the kart. It was like so damn fun but almost met with an accident.... Went to visit an estuary and a beach... we went finding for cockles which are alive to complete our wrksheet. Went to the beach to measure the depth of the beach and so on... In the night most of the guys including mr chew have to do pumping as we overslept in the morning.... Own free time, we played daidi and i still owe mr chew 40 pumping for losing the game. Day 5Went to a temperate rainforest and also see the flow of river and portholes. The unforgettable moment is at the animal farm as we had the chance to feed the sheep over there... After that we depart to a marae which is somewhere in new zealand... It was really a unforgettable experience as this was the first time we are living in a marae which allow us to experience the culture of the maori.Day 6 It was a day of shopping spree as we went to a shopping mall to buy whatever we want... but the thing is that the clothings over there are so damn big that even their small size i could not wear...After dinner we went play golf and following that we departed to the airport.Day 7 We spent our time in the plane and touched down in Singapore at around 6.35am in the morning.Had to chiong home and prepare for NPCC STC which is in the afternoon...NPCC STCDay 1We cycled into the campsite as the CIs over there require us to help them rent 7 bikes. It was quite a day as we have to pitch our tents and think of a campfire performance. In the night we had a mock campfire and after that it was lights out.Day 2 We woke up at around 5am and had morning PT... We shout our lungs out for the timing as we dun wan to kena scold by the CIs over there... but in the end we still kena scolded as we are too slow in our actions. But second day was a fun day as we do jetty jump, shelter building and last of all is fire starting. I managed to start the fire and maintain the fire and let it countinue burning for a few mins. After lunch is treasure hunt... it was really an achievement as we completed the treasure hunt in 2hr 30 mins which was expected by the CIs to be a 3hr hunt. After dinner we had campfire... After campfire was debrief and its lights out...Day 3I woke up at around 5.30am in the morning and found out that i was bitten quite badly all over by ants... It was fire drill at 6.05am... WTH so many ppl reaction so slow and somemore still got ppl and still slp in the tent sia... So no choice again kena scolded by the CIs and went for morning PT with most of the ppl who had not wash up... but lucky i woke up early so no prob for me... After breakfast was area cleaning.... And this was the time i was waiting for which is breakcamp... woohooo.... after 2 days of suffering finally i can go home and slp till my hearts content...
