HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST COUSIN, EUNICE! =D
love you lots! lol..

ok.. i got tons of things to post. =D

Hmm... How should i start?
Think think...

Firstly, it started off with a mild sorethroat. ( i know the sentences doens't link haha)
Then... it got worse. The throat felt so dry and no matter how many glasses of water i drank, it doesn't seem to help. Detest sorethroat! It gives me sleepless night because of the coughing.
Before I knew it, I was down with flu.
Nose felt like a faulty tap that couldn't be turned off! argh.
Finally... the fever arrived. Oh great.
Head felt like a bomb that could explode anytime.

Then I realised something. The sequence comes in this way. Sore throats, cough, flu, and finally, fever. haha..interesting discovery.

Well, yesterday we had foot drills. yay! Always yearned for a proper one...
Unfortunately, i can't seem to get the comands right. Mixed up "keblagan"(180 degrees turn) and "kebagan"(90 degrees right turn)
We trained for approximately 2 to 2.5 hrs?
Felt dizzy in the midst of the training and so I took a little rest.
I thought that if I’d continued, I would probably faint. hahaha..

Ok... Guides ended around 7 plus. It was only for sec3 and sec4. A meeting for the preparation of the campfire.
Want to thank the seniors and people for their concern... =D appreciated it lots!

Later at night, went to see the family doctor with aunty. Parents are out of town at the moment. Waited for 1 and 1/2 hours! Gosh. By the time I see him, fever subsided to 37.4 degrees...
I could have make better use of the time by sleeping =) Prepare for tomorrow training. haha

Today's pioneer training was fairly interesting.
Do take note that it is pioneer not pioneering... pioneering is for scouts lol....
Ok. I dressed like 'pajamas' and went for the training. LOL. -.-
The only sec 3s who wore track pants were me and Fionn. The others wore full PE attire..

Pioneer training:
Basically, I found it quite meaningful. I shall brief through it cos it gona be long =D
Got to learn quite alot of things.
For instance, how to start a fire using punks, twigs, kindling.
Mr. Mail taught us about the different types of sources we can use while we roamed around the HQ to collect the items needed. The tinner the twig is, better it is.
Next up was using a changkol and digging out a "rectangular" patch of the field.
Following was arranging the sources and lighting a matchstick
*yay! Successfully lighted a matchstick!* I know that’s quite late though. haha.. =D

Next up was building a shelter using a poncho, 2 poles, 4 pegs, 4 strings, etc.
It turned out to be quite small and squeezy loll...

Third was building a rope ladder from a second storey to the ground floor.
It was quite simple. Clove hitch (Mickey Mouse method) round the thick wooden poles.
All of us had a chance to climb up our hand-made ladder... haha

Fourth, axemanship.
He gave a one hour talk which everyone could easily doze off. lol..
Following next was practical...
kinda cool =D chop chop chop haha
Learnt the proper way to handle an axe and how to pass it to the other.
What a horrible axe. LOL. I was kind of careless that time. And because of that, I got cut by the sharp bit of the hand axe.
So glad and thankfult that it was minor injury. Phew. Can’t imagine what would happen if that finger is gone haha...

Lastly, Map reading. How to read Singapore map and some compass bearings.
Finally, we got dismissed at 5 plus. =D much earlier than I expected. Sat a train back..

Guess what? I saw Eunice while waiting at tenah merah bustop! lol.. =D
She was with her church friends...
Nice bear hug rite Eunice? haha!
Happy birthday girl! =D

Ok... so here I m posting..
kor sleeping over again! =D
Oh oh. Another source of disturbance for cowsie! LOL!

Nights! =D

I love spring & flowers.
