20 August, Wednesday
Weee….early morning … went for PT .. running and raining N comes together.. GG but nvm … cus the mood is right … (sometime having to run in the rain early in the morning also very good one)
After the PT, repacked the food and had breakfast … then … await for the bus to drive us to Changi water venture to have water expedition via kayaking.
3rd time kayaking …. This time round learnt to speed …. LoL kayak to race …. Didn’t really care about the winning .. but the spur moment of intensity really is the fun of kayaking
After the kayaking … we went to filled up most of the water and off we go to Ubin
Usual camp stuff. Find camp ground pitch tend. Cook food, then zzzz
However before we slept, we did have something different which is to … plan for our day 3, for day 3 we are suppose to hike around ubin to find designated landmark
Hence each team in-charge of figuring out the grid reference and locate the possible area in the maps
21 August, ThursdayRise and Shine,
Finally is time for the hiking, luck us, the shackleton team, have been allocated one of the hardest route … as we have to scout the east part of the Ubin island, after a long journey …. Yet it leave us with mixed feeling of happiness and sorrow .. reason is because, after we found the first landmark … rain came down on us … without giving us any chance to retaliate … hence forming the wet & shag .. shackleton lol.
After the downpour … it seemed to wash out all of luck .. as form then onward , we were not able to discover any landmark at all, which our team redrew and re locate the grid reference however we still not able to find .. hence in the end we are only able to locate 2/9 landmarks ..
What’s special would be our encounter with a moth, during our last discovery of the 2nd landmark, this is because, while we were attempting to enter the forest, we saw a moth with a broken wing , struggling to move , which lead us to stop and look @ the progress, it triggers us thinking that, we should not be giving up on our hope and our journey in seeking our goals,, even a moth struggle to survive with one wing broken, and sometime we human gives up too easily… and yet ironically we are the more superior species.
Hence, I guess even though in the end the moth didn’t survive however, it’s sprit is what we deserved to learn from to do our best till the last minute.
Coincidently, after that, we found our 2nd landmark … behind a tree covered by a deep bush .. perhaps the moth was there to give us the message of not giving up
After the hike we return to the harbor to await the boat back to mainland.
22 August, FridayWent to YTVC today, mr toh is back … heard from my disciple that he is teaching more new tricks and obviously a bit fed up with the discipline.. cause I have smthing on hence was there nearing the end of the practice… however my motive of going back is not to see the new teaching but … finally got a chance to speak to the committee so as to update and mentioned about the Choir Camp .. saw the rough idea .. but still has room for improvement … which is for me to know and for them to find out… but I got hint hint le hor. AC members are also getting ready to do things, we are old but not useless cause we are also expose to similar camps and tricks too. . after 2 hours meeting in Beethoven Room to discuss about various issues and camp stuff and then we went for dinner. And continue another round of small group meeting at Long John Silver for 2 hours +++ also .. imparted a lot teaching to the people of the committee , not just use to solve the current problems but also to enable them to explore within themselves and improve on their own.
Thank you guys for giving this old man the opportunity to help out, really feel good working with you peeps … it’s not me that make the diff .. it you peeps
23 August, SaturdaySaw 2 video today ..
First one is about HEY-girls, 黑涩会妹妹，
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzk2NjQ4MDA=.html
the take away from the video, would be that, even though some of us make look not soo good or appealing .. however with proper care and with effort being put in we can also be a nice person.
Also, in this world, the video also show the ugly side of human nature which show how people that are not so good looking, that are being treated very differently or even badly, as a matter of fact , external appearance is not so important one .. what’s impt would be to be a good person, if we are really putting in our effort to do good to others then eventually one day people would come to realise that look is not so important.
Just like ah ya , even though last time she always kena tekan by jacky but .. she was not angry .. but take those as compliment and work and improve on it .. Furthermore.. she is willing to make sacrifices to achieve something of a greater value, just like what she have mention in the video, she left for America to study during her peak of her career, which I feel that it would be hard for people to make decision on.

sometime because of lack of communication… friendship, relationship ,kinship and many more various pattern of ship get broken up..
Think about it , it’s rather ironic .. for our world now with solid infrastructure for media , e.g. hp, video call, msn, webcam, good hang out place… we still face problem of communication , people still misunderstanding due to the lack of conversation and communication.
Luckily, and hopefully, after today … fewer problems occurs and each of you work hard to contribute to aid VC to flourish and excel …
