It was like wow, aiyaaaa, sei laaa

Mood: Mixture of pissed coz im tired, bored, satisfaction

Hurro Hurro! :D

Even though im tired as hell and my eyelids are falling to meet with the other side of the eye? , i will still blog about my amazingly tiring duke of ed kyanpu. My current state is pain all over, especially my second toes on both feet. I think the nail bit is screwed like last time for bronze coz i kept bashing it against the shoe...and also the tops of my feet are soo itchy, but ive learnt not to itch them coz it happened after bronze prac as well and since i itched it too much, it became infected.

So. It all began on the 16th of December, 2009...which was the last day of school, and i wasnt able to see the damn christmas concert!!!!! >:( and i didnt even get to say a proper farewell to Dee, Suhaniya and Jane!!! So anwayssssss i got to Elizabeth's house at 7:30 and her mum drove us to the Somerset place. Then when we settled there, we had a meeting thing where we planned our routes and shizz and then we did some "getting to know ppl" games and yeah. Altogether there were 5 girlies from hornsby and 7 other people. After that, we got into pairs and went canoeing...okay right now, and for the whole of today, i had the word "canoedooling" stuck in my head. So yeah...we canoed for like 3 hrs or something along the colo river and then stopped at cobbs campsite thing. The soil was so farking dry and it was like 35 degrees or some shizz so i was like dead after struggling to put up our tent. The pegs wouldnt freaking go into the soil, and even worse we kinda stuck a peg into cow shiiiit and i had to dig it out the next morning. It was worse than gross. So yeah, under the scorching sun, we slowly built our tent, whereas the guys built their tents in like 5-10 mins and we were like whattthaaafook. And we even had to use a block of wood to get the stupid bent pegs into the ground. It was terrible. Then it was dinner time. My dinner was so farking retarded. I brought one of those continental pasta things in a packet, and so we boiled the water and then i added the stuff in plus milk. Then not long after, the milk in it started bubbling, and boiled over so im like okay...it should be ready. So i poured it into my bowl, but it all spilt over coz my farking bowl was too shallow dammit. I then decided to eat from the trangia pot thing. OH also, i think i like burnt my finger on the fire, coz the pot was slanted above the holder things on the trangia, so i used those spondonicles to hold the pot, but i held the pot where the fire was escaping, so basically i put my hand in the fire, but i didnt realise until i did it a few times and thought it was unusually extremely hot. Hm...so yeah i ended up eating it from the bowl which i touched with my bare hands coz i was so stupid...actually blame it on the heat :D yeah. While eating it, our instructor Heather asked if the pasta was soft, so i said yes...even though it was still slightly hard in the centre.

Okay man this bold thing is really pissing me off. I know ive already raged about this but its really annoying coz once i backspace, it just automatically changes to bold. So if this blog has random bold words, its not coz i want to emphasise something, its coz the bold button is nfksjdhvpiuweahbc.

Hmm....haha our neighbours playing the drums...sounding good.....:P
Yeah, so thats how tired i was...i couldnt even be bothered to re-cook that meal so i suffered through a half-cooked dinner, whereas other people were eating nice gourmet-looking noodles and acutally cooked pasta and rice. Okay, so then after dinner, we did riddles and stuff and two cows came pretty close. They were kinda cute and i wanted them to come closer but no one else did...

THEN at night, omgosh. It was so freaking hot in the tent. I was suffocating whilst trying to sleep and i was literally lying on a pool of sweat. I even had to sleep on a towel on the head bit and have another wet towel around my neck, but that ended up soaking my sweat. Throughout the night, i probably got a total of 3 hrs sleep? coz it was like a steam room in there.

The next morning, we got up at 6:30 i think it was, and we had breakfast...well all i had time for was a piece of bread...then we canoedeled for about 4 hrs? i dont really know anything about the times. But that day was like 42 degrees??? far out it was soo hot, but thankfully, we were canoedooling so that was good :) We then stopped at a beach and the guys went swimming shirtless ;P haha no. coz then they were told to put on shirts and PFDs? LOL everyone kept calling PFDs PDF which is an adobe file i think....................... anywho, they went swimming while the girlies were just sitting on the canoes under the beating sun.

I think the best bit of the kyanpu was the beach bit. After canoedooling, we returned to Somerset base camp and after carrying, dragging and loading the scorching canoes that weighed like a tonne, we went to a beach-like area, which had burning sand and nice cool colo river water. Except the water was kinda dodge, coz before, when canoeing, there were bits of cow crap in the water...hm. But Melissa and i sat in the shade with our feet in the water and we cooled down there...cooling our water in bottles which were almost at boiling point. probably.

We stayed there for two hrs? I dunno but it seemed like a really long time. And it didnt exactly feel like duke of ed...but it was good :) then we cleaned up and sarted hiking to our campsite called riverside. Shet that walk was terrible. Probably even worse than today's. No actually not really. Omg i dont berieve im sacrificing my sleeping time to do this. But i want to do it while its still fresh in my mind. So since it was like 42 degrees, we hiked uphill and downhill to our kyanpusite. I had already had this psychic feeling that my nose was going to bleed coz the stupid thing always bleeds when its extremely hot or if it gets hit. So we finally reached our destination (haha GPS) and i was looking for a nice branchless spot to set up our tent. I found a very nice area, so i put my pack down and sat on it. Suddenly, i felt this rush of liquid down my left nostril and not long after, it filled my hand and ran down my left arm. It was pretty annoying coz i also got some blood on the ground where i originally wanted to set up our tent. Then it wouldnt stop so i became even more pissed off. When it FINALLY stopped, i decided to help put up the tent. Then suddenly i heard thunder, so i was almost panicking to hurry up and set it up. At least the soil was soft this time.

Sorry, this is a really long blog.

So everything was set up and we had dinner. This time, i couldnt be bothered to cook my dinner, so i had tuna in tomato and onion on bread... or so i thought! It turned out to be SALMON in tomato and onion, which was even better coz i prefer salmon over tuna anydayyy and anynight :D Skip an hour...we packed up our dinners and washed up in this really cool portable kitchen sink...and the guys were playing cards...i actually wanted to play but i thought itd be weird. ANYWAYS i joined the girl group who were talking to the leaders about stuff..then it led onto to runes which at that point i totally chimed out coz a) i was so tired b) i wasnt interested in runes even though i actually played runescape in primary and now that i look back, it was such a waste of time and concentration...stewbut brother for introducing it to me...same with maplestory >__>

THEN suddenly, i felt this hard thing hit my thigh, so i turned around and i saw a battery on the ground...so i kinda ignored it and then i felt this other thing hit my back and i could tell the guys were chucking stuff at me, but i didnt get what exactly they were trying to do...so then they started chucking stuff at other girls who had their backs to them...until they chucked a whole bunch of shizz onto Heather's back...and it was so funny coz she told them to wash up the trangia stuff. :P But then i felt sorry for the guys that didnt actually do it.

Okay, so THEN after an hour or so, Heather told us to wake up at 4:30 2moro morning. I totally thought she was kidding, until she kinda confirmed it. I decided to go to sleep straight away, which was like 9 o'clock but then lizzie, prachi and madeline started singing songs and i didnt find the songs annoying, but i just couldnt sleep...and i was desperate for freaking sleep. But then i didnt want to tell them to shut up...but the guys did so yeah...i dunno what im talking about. Im so tired.

OMGasssshhhhh this post is so long itll probably take up the whole page.

This morning, we actually woke up at 4:30 am when it was still dark...we packed everything up such as tent and packs in the dark, and i didnt even get to brush my teeth. Then at 5:30 it started raining and i didnt bring my rain jacket thing, but i wasnt really that wet yet. Then we split into two groups: test people and prac. people. The prac people which was me and co. went out first. It was a terrible walk, coz i was navigating first, and i didnt actually know how to navigate..but anyways, i still got my way through. The track was the bronze practice trail, and that stupid mountain that we had to climb was called Breadloaf. Omgosh that was fking painful. I cant describe how tired i was at every rock that i climbed. Even thinking about it now is making me tired.

Yeah, we stopped halfway coz i think Elouise was finding it difficult to breathe? It was a good break. Then we continued to rape that mountain, and i had to use hk as my motivation to keep climbing. Finally we reached the top. The view wasnt even that great...it was all fog and mist eveywhere so we could barely see anything!!! >:( so yeah...skip a few hours of walking and hiking. At this point, i was drenched in rain coz it was continually raining and it was freeeezing, and i was really paranoid about my shirt....ahem. Lol for those who get it. It was all boring, until we finished the hike. As we were at the testing station, Heather got a radio call saying that a guy from the test group had dislocated his knee. It sounded really painful, so they called a stretcher and stuff and 4 people from our group (inc meeee heh heh heh) climbed the mountain we just came down from to help out. Apparently, he tripped and rolled over twice and landed with his head lower than his feet...which sounds quite scary. When we got there, i saw the dislocated knee. It was like totes out of place and the knee cap was moved to the side. But twas funnayy coz he was complaining how his mum would get pissed about having to clean his pants...lol obviously kidding but yeah :P

So apparently he got taken to a hospital and his knee is being relocated, while the rest of us (who werent carrying the stretcher down a very steep mountian) went back to base camp via a van and we got ourselves cleaned up and stuuuuuuff.

I was taken home by Prachi's mum and on the way, she bought us this realllllllly nice chicken burger from maccas. It was like fully hot inside and it was so FRESH!

Sorry for taking up so much time...i think i spent like an hour typing this up...and im about to fall asleep here. I really want to watch 巴不得爸爸. Its the most hilarious show...its about. Okay no i cant be bothered to talk about it.

bye bye
