Camp at Pulau Ubin

Definitely devillish. But I still sorta made it through. And it felt like 3 days, though we only went through one night.

And now my legs are spotted with red bites. It's really too bad that I don't have a picture of it to post it up. The itching got worse when I reached home.

Guess my once spotless legs have been permanently scarred by these nasty bites. My life is over!

That one night sleeping in the jungle of Ubin felt like ages. It was really just in the wild. Then there were all kinds of noises throughout the night. Lucky I had one partner beside me. Yes, so there was only two of us.

It's pretty freaky and all, but the torture we received during the day made it all seem safe. Did I mention we had to build a barsha, temporary shelter, in almost complete darkness? We only had 2 lightsticks. And it was glaring, making vision kinda impaired.

But it was a pretty good experience out in the wilderness too. We were devoid of all communication devices plus we didn't have any timekeeping device. So it all felt damned long than it actually was. I'm really glad it's over.

And that frog-eating feat too! Felt like a dream too. All kinda surreal. Cos when you're daring yourself in low visibility, your other senses automatically become keener. And you ask yourself if it's really happening beacuse you can't see well. It's a fact that we rely a lot on sight. Maybe too much?

But for now, I'm really thankful. For everything.
