  • After that, instructors taught us how to do the rescue in deep waters.
  • Oh and did I tell you, the weather was absolutely crazy.
  • It rained, and then the rain stopped. And then it rained and stopped again.
  • Crazy I tell you.
  • We grouped up with Yan Yee and Millicent.
  • Took q long cause we were all exhausted.
  • Murali pushed us and we finally made it.
  • Such a long and draggy day.
  • Later on, we learnt how to pitch tents and how to cook.
  • Accidentally left a tent back at the store so me and Mrunal went to get it.
  • I BROKE THE STORE KEY.

  • The logs kept on distancing and we couldn't make it to the fourth log.
  • But its okay, we did our best alr, and I'm proud for at least getting to the third log.
  • Then I belayed twice and almost fainted, damn tired.
  • So I went to sat down beside Mrunal and Khummithra.
  • Told Mrunal the muffin and the stand fan joke. HAHA
  • And found out Mith loves Arashi too! Zomfg ♥
  • Then it was our thoughts for the day.
  • I was really touched by Izzati's words.
  • (Roughly) "I saw that Siti was so motivated. So I thought, 'If she can be determined, why can't I?' I was really determined because Siti was"
  • Izzati, thanks so much, you touched my heart :D
  • Then we took our bags everything, kept everything else and went to Camp 2.
