BINTAN

ATC - Camp Site

The boys area of the camp site

The poor instructor who was the victim... :(

Part of BINTAN LAGOON RESORT

The resort villa which cost $300+K SGD

Too good to be true but yes, teachers stayed in Lagoon resort only to sleep and bathe.

Entrance of the library wall which we had to set up a reading corner.

The condition in Bintan High School. Thank god, I was born in SG

We were only given 3hrs to paint the mural, fix the shelves and placed all the books in the shelves.

J4 won the sandcastle competition - MY GROUP =)

Last day last activity. Thats why we were willing to PS.

Theses are the images of BINTAN on light-hearted days in broad daylight . Of course, there were some fun activities during the camp but not the main HIGHLIGHT activity -trekking. No one wants their camera to drop in pools of mud hence no images. Nothing worth taking anyway.

I did not mention in the previous post of another happening during the camp in Bintan. I was partially a victim and everytime I take a shower, that incident keeps flashing in my memory.

BINTAN CAMP

Usually School camps are organised to help build a stronger bond among one another and to receive some enlightenment, on a contrary my 4 days Bintan Camp has transformed me into nothing of what were mentioned above but a tortured coward! (ok...i did build a stronger bond with colleagues and kiddos)


I am now scared of entering to anywhere with absolutely no light or little light, the fear of humongous insects flying or crawling around me and WONDERING SPIRITS (I'm serious). The incident that happened during the camp is still in my mind and I can't erase that. It is FREAKISH! You know what people would always say about the hearsay ghost encounters during their stay at camps, I now believe them totally. This is my first encounter to witness EXORCISM. A kiddo was possessed twice by 2 different spirits, an instructor who helped the kiddo was possessed too and etc. I saw the whole process. As I am blogging it down, the scene keeps flashing in my mind. If you think that I am not unlucky enough, I shared a room with a queer colleague who added more freakish news to weaken my faint heart.

On top of all theses that had happened, I was tortured brutally. First I was forced to do a mural painting for a Bintan School. I was forced to stand under the scorching hot sun for hours. I had to brace a heavy storm while walking up a high slope to the school.I was forced to climb a stupid mountain of some 400+m above ground level. The mountain is VERY steep and VERY slippery due to the rain. It was already a torture to climb up the steep mountain with 100 kiddos and it was totally impossible and insane to climb down the mountain using a different route which was steeper and extremely slippery. Most of us were sliding down the mountain like snow skiing instead. Everyone slipped and fell with countless of bruises, cuts and bumps while trying to make their way down. Of course not mentioning the night duties which I had to be part of. AND...what do I get in return? NOTHING but more shit work to clear when I get back from the camp.

I totally ABHOR camps period

D.I.Y Craft work

Times are bad as recession is currently going on. I've decided to go D.I.Y all the way haha. Moreover, it is tough to look for a comfy shoes that is nice and the price is reasonable hence drawing on my shoes would be a best solution since its ORIGINAL with no replicas and most importanly they are PRICELESS =) I shall venture out to design my own clothes haha. I can't wait to graduate and leave this stagnant mundane society of moulding the future. I rather mould money in my bank.

Well...I was one of the few hundred thousands of people who made their way to the IT show 2009. It was madness. There aint no recession going on, suntec was flooded with human heads, i believed 2 times more than last years crowd. Is recession = staying indoors, hence people tend to invest on IT gadgets to fill their humdrum lives at home? ha. Anyhow, I bought a printer with not a bad deal, G bought a Canon camera. Due to occupational hazard, I raised my voice in public to educate some A.hole who was so kiasu that he had to push his way through the massive crowd and pushed my nice looking printer and trolley. The words blurt out naturally and i regretted instantly. All eyes turned to stare at me, I felt like opening my printer box and hide inside haha. I will try to avoid suntec for a short period of time.

3 TMAS down...3 more to go before the BIG exam. Every weekend is spent during TMAs, NO more exciting life :(

It is difficult to get hold of Domo poducts so D.I.Y is the only option and it is FREE haha! Intending to make a DOMO tissue box holder and small domo ceramic figurine when I returned from my trip to a 5 star BINTAN Hotel resort ...HA!

Anyways, Sports day is FINALLY OVER. Here are the mascots from the different houses. Rule was to use recycled materials.
