NCC Trip to Batam (Second day)

23 November 2007

It was 5.45 am.I woke up from my bed for my wash-up.Then i woke up my roommates.After their wash-up we went down to have our breakfast.Then we went to Harris Resort (some hotel) for our first activity of the day - flying fox.It was albeit scary coz we were going down from 3 storeys high but it turned out to be from 5 storeys high.Then we were splited into groups,not sure how many.I was in the second group.After the first group finished me and the other teammates followed the facilitator who were going to bring us up to the rooftop at the fifth floor.I was the last to come down.Rather scary but not that scary to the extent of fainting on the spot.Roughly about 70m down to the ground.Soon after the tour guide told me to turn back to look at the camera on the way down.So when i was going down i made a 360 degree (no Celsius,kelvin,Fahrenheit lols) turn.When i finished the turn my eye was whacked by the stopper (to stop me from moving further).Not really the eye but between the eyebrow and the eyeball.So i went down to ground and took out my harness and helmet.Then i rest.After walking around the area i sat down on the chair where people lie down for some suntanning.Slowly i lied down and finally going to sleep.After a while one of the facilitators told me this-"wah very relax ah." and he smiled.As i knew it was a sarcastic remark i went away from the chair just in case i sit down,lie down and sleep.Somewhere near my juniors i rested.A few hours have passed.I went to the hotel to see what the other guys were doing.They were playing pool or rather billiards.A while later we left the resort.Then we went to have lunch.We had nasi padang (some malay dish with rice and some vegetables and meat).Then we went to have our second activity - jungle trekking.Outside the jungle we applied some mosquito repellent and got some water bottles for ourselves.Then we went walking inside the jungle.At first it was easy.The path was big.Slowly the path became smaller and smaller and we slowly went up the mountain.There were some obstacles in the jungle.We had to walk on a bridge made of several ropes with knots between them.Then we had to jump over river streams.There were several wooden bridges we had to cross.After hours we got out of the jungle.As there were some guys left in the jungle i told my friend sitting beside me this."Don't tell me they went in to the jungle and couldn't come out alive?".Then he said "siao ah?as if the jungle has the attacking Big Foot.".Soon after they came out.After a while we took pictures of us with the snakes.So after taking the pictures we went to bus.After that we went to a shopping center to buy some things for ourselves.That time the tour guide said that we are going to the largest Buddhist temple in the South East Asia.In the end we didn't go cos of time constraint.So after shopping we went to have dinner somewhere.I had my dinner along with the 4 teachers who followed us in the trip.Felt so good talking to them.After dinner we went back to our hotel.After that was free and easy time.After watching tv until 11+ near 12 i went to sleep.That's all for the second day out of home.
