14/6
Board the ferry at 8am, you yi dian bu she de, but also very excited for the trip. Reaching karimun, we checked in, played some ice-breaking games, den off to some bird nest farm n the orphanage. I'm so so impressed by one of the boy there. He actually speaks english quite well, and gave a speech to us. N guess wat? He learn english himself. Reading the dictionary himself everyday! Imagine one who know nothing bout english n jus purely learn thru dictionary. N he aspires to be a teacher next time, teaching english to karimun kids and go overseas. I think those who giv up due to small problem shld b ashame of himself/herself, and learn something from him. Anw, next was dinner at someone hse, and in fact we had all our lunch n dinner there. Quite a nice family.

Okay, was supposed to wake up at 530 local time, which is 630am singapore time. (Karimun is 1hr slower then singapore) But me blur blur, change the timing for watch but not hp.. so i woke up 530singapore time, which is only 430 local time!! luckily realise on time, n went back to slp again. Reach campsite at 7am, pitched tents, my sleepin buddies r xinyi, cmy n nicole. Activities later are river crossing, and standard obstacle course. Sounds like army huh. haha.. oh yah, the toilet is jus super disgusting. Despite the hot weather, i still insisted in nt drinking too much water. HAHA, need to bear for just one day. At night is make ur own dinner using metal tins, campfire n night walk. Ok, im damn scared initially, only in pairs with ur partner and one 1 candle. N the best thing is i dunno how to use matchstick. So im jus protecting the candle like with all my life, even wax drip onto my hand i also dun care, jus walk straight all the way. Sense of relieved and accomplishment after the walk =)

Next were visit to fishing village, some granite quarry but its quite boring, cos jus reach there see see den go already
