Woke up at six, and got ready and took a cab to school with my huge backpack. When i got to school, walked to canteen and i saw Rama, Mingteck, Hujun, Donna, Nik, Mathew, Zack and Isa. After Ariffin, fifi and the rest came we board the bus to go Punggol jetty. When we reach there we were spilt into our different watchs(groups). Took the jetty to Pulau ubin. When we reach there we walked to the MPH, and there was a course opening, after that met my watch instructor Roland. Had our lunch after that, and we had kayaking. Kayaking was so much fun. Had dinner, and went to our tents to sleep.

Left camp one after lunch, for our land expedition, everyone was like carrying a bag which we got the day before, and we carried our tents. We walked with our almost 20KG bag, which was so heavy. We walked more than 8km, to our checkpoint, and after walking Roland said that we had to find a tower and climb, oh ya we had to find the checkpoint and the tower with our map and a compass. So difficult. The tower was so tall, and everyone was so tired but we had to complete it as it was a challenge. When we reach the top, the scenery was so nice. Had our lunch. After that we walked to our campsite two, which took us one hour.

Woke up at five, and everyone from Camp One Alpha got ready with our bags and walked to a place where got our kayaks, and that was the starting point of our sea expedition. We started to kayak at 8am, and we had to kayak 3/4 around pulau ubin. There was a total of 64 people kayaking, and our instructors were in their safety boat so nice. We were kayaking so fast that we stopped at a beach, some people went up shore to eat, but most people swam and we splashed water at each other, which was super fun. After half and hour continue kayaking and reached camp one at 1.30. We were suppose to reach at 4 but we reach there faster, as we all worked together. As a reward we did jetty jump, which was so cool. Just off into the water, haha got life vest.

After that we had our lunch and everyone gathered at the MPH, and we sat in our watchs, and Roland talked to us and gave us our certs and photos. We had to pay for some equipment which we lost. Had course closing and we left to punggol jetty. Bought our t-shirts from the souvenir shop. Rama, Donna, Ariffin, Mingteck and me decided to eat somewhere. And we took bus 89 to hougang mall.
