Alpha Group / Me3 Foundation Day 8 (Plus photos day 5 to 8)

Finally, after a long and fun five days, our time at Muskey’s landing is over, but our program isn’t over yet. We still have many things planned, and the students are all very excited. Anyways, today we woke up at a relatively late 7:30, and packed our things up. We were lucky that it hadn’t rained during our kayaking or boating, but it was raining all night, and our wetsuits were…. well…wet….. but it was a challenge to pack. We all managed to gather enough plastic bags (coming from various places) to put all our wetsuits in. Since it was raining, we all ate breakfast in cabin one, and we had watermelon, eggs and hot dogs, which took longer than expected, since we had so much extra watermelon. We then loaded up the Sprinters (our minibuses) and drove back to HQ. Back at HQ, we took three hours to clean up all our equipment, which included kayaks, kayak straps, safety equipment, and a plethora of other equipment that would take a few pages to name. After that, Billy treated us all to an amazing dinner at Mandarin, and after a long work day, we all appreciated and enjoyed it. Good night, and we’ll continue to keep you all posted.

Today is day 8 of Monticle camp. After breakfast, we left Muskey’s Landing and returned to HQ. As soon as we got back to HQ, we all got jobs cleaning the kayaks and the boat. It took us a long time to finish and we didn’t really have a good lunch. But, we got a great reward, a buffet dinner at Mandarin. Hope we have a wonderful day tomorrow.

 “Fzz……!Fzzz…..!” The sounds of oil squirting everywhere on the frying pan woke us all up. I was helping to cook breakfast due to the fact that the rain was storming down outside. Our mates started coming in our cabin sitting down and starting a loud socialize communication conversation. We served hot chocolate, sausages and egg, then started heading back to the HQ on the vehicle. Me and Yereem snored with peace for hours charging ourselves, then finding the walls of the HQ right next to the window, a symbol of arrival! Everyone rushed in and unpacked everything and cleaned our equipment and the vehicles with the pressure of finishing by 4:30 in able to reach mandarin for a buffet dinner! I came back with a stuffed tummy kneeling down to write my blog, and await for the amazing night to begin!

Today we basically spent the day doing menial labour .We had to pack our bags and carry them through the rain in the morning . When we returned we had to do a lot of cleaning. Finally we celebrated by going to Mandarin. Today, was a normal day.

P.S. I broke a spider web.

Today is the day we leave camp and go back to the apartment and HQ. I was so glad that we could leave and say bye to all the bugs. When we came back, we had a messy clean up period of the kayaks and stuff. After that, we went to eat at the Mandarin. The Mandarin was a buffet and I ate a lot. I had ice cream, roast beef, fries and stuff like that. After that, we are going to Billy’s house to watch a movie.

This morning it rained when we woke up. We didn’t have any drama practise. We packed up first thing and brought our luggage to Cabin 1. We had breakfast at cabin 1. We had watermelon for last. We got back at HQ for 12 something. We cleaned our wet suits , watershoes, the boat and kayaks. For 4 hours then we went to mandarin for dinner.

“ Come on! “ I said in frustration as I was scrubbing the greasy metal parts of the stove in the sand while I was squatting in the rain. This morning after packing up, I pulled on my rain jacket and ran into the rain to help Billy load our thing to the trunk. I helped him with loading kayaks, life jackets, and helmets, then I had to clean the stove. To make it faster, Billy told me to wipe the grease using sand . then there I was, squatting in the rain scrubbing like crazy. I never left it until it was clean…. just a sense of determination and responsibility, although sand and water was all over my hands. I guess I overcame my fear of wet sand.GHQ

Today was  the last day of the camp site. We ate breakfast there, that’s it. We came back  to the HQ and talked over about where we are going to eat. At MANDARIN!! We ate good stuff  there. Today 2 of my friends Sharon and Joyce left. I felt really bad. Tonight we are sleeping at the apartment and watching a movie! Tomorrow we are going to Mon Sheng. Today was really fun!

Today we ate breakfast in cabin 1, because it was raining heavily. We also went back to HQ, (Headquarters). We had supper at a buffet. (Mostly dessert). Then later , we are going to have an exciting moment. Watch a movie. Movie unknown. Drinks. Soft drinks. Food. Junk food. So nice right. I clean a motor boat which is very wet. We go to apartment at 7:00 PM. Sound fair. Huh. Zzz………after. Today was very fun. P.S the restaurant is called mandarin.

Today, when we finished breakfast, we ate scrambled eggs and sausages, we packed our bags, tidy up all the stuff from my room, then we’re going back to HQ. Because this was the last day of camp. Later we tidied all the equipment in HQ, which took us about 3 hours to finish. We had an early buffet in Mandarin. I’m totally full. I had seafood, meat, some ice cream etc. I had a great dinner!
