my blog's like dying. sheesh!

not tt my life's boring n such, but thr r many things which simply cannot be revealed. oops! moreover, i tend to forget what happened once i reach home. it's as if the 1hr journey to home organises the whole series of events into the archives. basically it means i need to think hard to recall what actually happened.

anyway, these few days have been somewhat out of the ordinary, mainly on helping peter for his VC hike. i was his reserve companion and supposedly had to help him out for his hike report thru sat nite.

ok let me begin with friday.
i didn't have school tt day, so i decided to accompany clement to HQ. but before that, i had to complete an online music quiz and return the HfH pledge card to children's cancer foundation. loads of rushing and travelling during tt time. bedok - little india - tanah merah - bishan. anw at the scout shop, we had to wait really long for some really annoying, yet hilarious people who were making who-knows-what purchases.

aft we bought the necessary items, we made our way back to ahs to start preparing for the VC hike. well i wasn't really involved; i was just there to receive instructions from peter.

the 1st component of the hike started on Fri evening. it was some 15km hike with some i-don't-know-what instructions. hrd that peter reported 1 hr late n sorta failed tt component.

Sat was the 2nd component, a hike of about 45-50km (if i'm not wrong). peter n clement were going well until some time in the afternoon, when clement sprained his ankle. hence, i was roped in. so this was where the "action" began. i was at my aunt's house when peter called me to inform me of the urgent news. hence i rushed home to get changed. but on my way home, sean called to ask me about music quiz. of all times... but THANKFULLY charmaine was riding a bike on her way home. so i used her bike as a mini table, n she even helped me to hold up my book as i flipped thru the pages of my music textbook. anw back to the point. aft i got changed and made the necessary arrangements, i rushed to meet peter n clement at the junction of upper paya lebar & macpherson rd.

took over clement as peter's companion n picked up his haversack (i was too lazy to pack my own). clement went home after that, while peter n i made our way to the nx checkpoint, some church in bishan. it wasn't too bad until when we were on our way to the following ckpt; a height feature located in Loyang industrial estate. blisters were forming on my feet as we reached tt ckpt. pain... T.T nx up was the bedok lighthouse at east coast park. low spirits, injuries, lack of sleep (for peter), not a single ounce of hope and motivation was left within us. but nevertheless, we still reached tt ckpt, tt of coz was aft a long long long walk (in terms of time). to think tt it was the end, fat hope. thr was still approx 2km to the end point. T.T x100 we literally dragged ourselves down the road. torturous, simply torturous. withstanding all the temptations to give up; restaurants, happy families and partying people. fortunately for us, we were saved from walking an extra distance when one other team saw us and informed us tt the examiners were at mac. u see, we thot that the EP was still quite far away and wanted to carry on walking.

tt moment was just "OH MY GOSH... YES... FINALLY." shawn n guodong arrived shortly after. fortunately/unfortunately, there was a change of plans and i didn't need to go to peter's hse anymore.

Sunday afternoon. went to clement's house to return him his haversack and pass him den equipment. his mum was really nice. :) spent quite some time there before i popped by at peter's place to return him his stuff.

my whole body's aching rite now... ouch ouch ouch! neck - shoulders - back - butt - thighs - calfs - feet. terrible terrible. the worst thing is the blisters on the sole of my feet. =( every step i take is just oh-my-tian...

i'm so not going for another hike anymore.
