August 30 Ex Lancer completedBack in spore, in one piece. Sandflies, mosq, bee stings n lost of appetite n weight. But thank God i'm safe n i pass my JST. Nv wan to go back to Brunei again.. Tourism is so bad, their city mall is so much worse den a normal Lot 1 in spore. Aniwæ.. Let's share more bout my adventure of Jungle Survival Trg- Day1(sun 20th aug): took a noon royal brunei flight. From there, we took a fast craft thru e waters of south china sea, to another jetty where we were transported again by bus to SAF Lakiun Camp- the HQ of JCC in Brunei where it all happen. First 3 days were intro to camp, drawing stores, trg like knot tying, intro to edible fd, bldg shelter, traps, fireplace n skinning of animals for fd. Finally on thurs, we ate our last breakfast n was inserted into e most horrific jungle to survive 4D 3N w/o fd, shelter, water etc.. I was with yang and suan in e same site. We built our "A" frames, fireplaces, traps, fishing rods, utensils etc.. It was really hard core survival. My job was to cut trees for wood, find vines as ropes to tie n refill water. I got stung by a bee of e 1st day but thank God i'm fine. My frens took care of me. Am really thankful of them,. Nightfalls as early as 6pm n it rained all 3 nights. Was frozen cold but no choice, haf to suck it up! Last day still have to kill a quail as for assessment. I hate it.. V cruel but still have to kill it w bare hands.. We were extracted out on sun mrng n were given a map to find our way back to camp by 1700hrs to secure. We bashed thru e thick vegetation of brunei. My grp n another got lost n were stuck for tt day. We din manage to get back on time hence extended our stay by camping in e jungle till moday. Next day we completed n e rest is history. Thank God for His protection upon everyone. Wad an experience!

August 02 WaT A DaY!!!Something freaky happened hrs ago in my bunk. I was at my neighbour's bunk jus beside my room watching dvd w a grp of us. Suddenly, der was tis loud weird gushing sound. We paused for awhile n looked at one another. The sound came from e tap. N immediately my fren suggested tt it came frm my room. I ran over to check it out n behold, e water pipe burst! H20 was gushing out n overflow e entire room. Immediately we turn off e mains n start evacuating our belongings out of e room. It was disastrous! Wat a day! |
