3rd of the last

once again like everyday, rise and shine at six a.m. and we had to get ready for flag break. OKAY, sick of this, let's call it morning routine. after the morning routine, we played capten ball! i got hurt by an elbow that came straight into my face, i was lucky the guy who hit me was less than 40 kg's. my lips were bleeding and stuff. Ah! just like old times when i was playing football for my school. shite, i feel old.

so my mouth was bleeding and the next "activity" was breakfast, oh how appropriate! One more thing, the seniors told us to get a heavy breakfast! oh wow! so, we did have a heavy breakfast and the salt didn't really make my wound comfortable while i was eating but who cares, i was hungry! after breakfast, we had to pack up and get ready in our uniforms, we are going around PJ! it's another Amazing Race! twice a year! whoo!

it was fun the Amazing Race, went to section 14, 17, SS2, Taman Bahagia, Gasing Road, Taman Jaya and Amcorp. our patrol walked tirelessly, altho the girls were aching on their thighs doing too many downs. they showed great determination to finish but to me it wasn't enough to do a good job as scouts ,but hey! you can't go anywhere without starting and i'm glad that it aint too late for them. i was trying many ways to push their morale as i shouldn't push them physically. i had to think of their capabilities and how they were at that time. it was only the third day and I didn't want my team literally fall flat on the ground. it was tough, Simon, our leader was far ahead most of the time, i decided to stay back and keep a look out. but in the end, we finished second good job team! and also Simon for taking point.

after all the groups were safely back at around 1830 hours, seniors had to fall us in and let us go wash up and get dinner ready. we didn't have much time so we only took bread and jam. after dinner, its time for another night game, this time its an obstacle course, blind folded! yay! but i was the leader this time, sigh, no fun for me. there was duck walks, frog jumps, wet comando crawls, mazes and up and under tables. so fun it was sad for me to just let the rest do stuff. its was hard for the team, the two girls remaining -after Karis was shifted to the other group- weren't okay, all suffering from aches, bruises and cuts on their legs but they tried their best.

the next on the agenda was heart-to-heart, a game where u can talk about all the things that were stuck inside them. my plan tho was to wait until everyone finish so i can make up something for all of them to listen to -typical of me-, well, that didn't work, it was going pretty slow, and then i got fed up and decided to use Adrienne's idea and abit of Aaron's enlightening speech to say something. but then came Andrew's story, i knew it was coming, i knew it was hard for him. that turned out to be the longest night ever. it was then lights out at 0430 hours.
