11.29pm
I need a real big CONFIDENCE BOOOOST.
I got home real late last night, am feeling kinda cranky right now >:( Insufficient sleep to feed me.
I am so grateful to be blessed with such a caring brother. Though he didnt send me to school yesterday but he did so on Friday which was so sweet.
HRC (High Ropes Challenge). The day kicked off on Saturday morning real early just like any ordinary school day. WeiTing & I prayed hard that it'd rain. The bus arrived at the general office slightly bit earlier. Miss Fad asked for a mini-van cos' it only needed to ferry the four of us Sec 4s plus Miss Fad herself but I think they are so dumb to appoint this big coach to send us to Changi Jetty :\
But anyway, we've got ample space to sleep & laze around in the bus & we were pretty much unsure about the HRC. Arrived at Changi Jetty & met Temasek which was the only area 10 school to be going on the same day. Saw a couple of familiar faces.
Took the bumboat to Pulau Ubin, more specifically Camp Resilience & started off with activities. We're honestly lucky as we weren't separated from our school. So the four of us got to stick together throughout the whole HRC. Our first stop was to the "Dangling Duo". There are about five logs placed on top of each other like a ladder but held with only two thin strings & the gaps in between the logs are bigger as we climb higher. Paired up with WeiTing to conquer the heinous logs. Managed to reach the third step where we both felt too short to proceed.
Second stop was Flying Fox. If I've not mistaken the height's about that of a 7 storey building. The harness was so annoyingly tight. I could feel my heart almost spilling out but ssshh, must keep composed. Soared down with this guy from another school. He didn't yell at all.
Third station was ARC (Advanced Rope Challenge) which all four of us were hoping we won't have to do. We could either choose the balancing one or the one that requires more strength. We opted for the strength one. Went through the obstacles & despite the fright I could still look down & yell at those people below who were pulling the emergency ladder for me to stop pulling the ladder away. Lolz. I was near a state of hysteria. But once you start you have to complete it.
After the third station, our prayers were heard & registered so it started to drizzle & it progressed to a heavy downpour with lightning striking the trees & crazy birds fleeing from the treetops. Slacked around in the foyer where we used to camp there overnight instead of in our tents for ATC cos' it was raining too. Returned helmets & harnesses which implies that activities cut!
Van came & took us all back to the jetty to be dispatched back to Sg.
Rush hour after that for me as I rushed home to get ready for Cinderella performance at Esplanade. Was suppose to meet Yeehui at 6.15pm but saw her at 7pm cos' we were both late. Had a quick dinner & rushed to the Stage Door to meet Reina. The performance was great, real modern with a little tinge of humour as well. Managed to spot Reina & Howie on stage. They were too prominent to be missed.
Jiahan, Faye, Winnie, Aprilia, Yeehui :D
