day 5
woke up at 6 and had pancake for breakfast. cleaned dustbins and swept the pathway as duty. went for mountain climbing again to see snow! we played with the snow! sled down it in the sled! super fun! then we built a snowman! and we also rolled down the snow! we went to a nearby small waterfall where ice crystals had formed! it was lovely! but no photos for that! sorry. then we went river tubing. i kept falling into the water! but i was not the only one. kristel also kept falling! haha. and once, kristel fell in and i was pulling her up but i fell in too! very funny. hahahaha. but it was fun! however, we kept hitting rocks and branches! then we bathed and had rice for dinner. had quiz night. roadrunners got fifth place. but for our performance, we got first!!!! yay! thanks to kristel and daphne for their 'channel newzealand' broadcast and to charmaine and amanda for their 'peeing' in the bushes part!then slept. was our last night at opc's dorm! so sad. we talked and i told my group about my leg problem. that's how close we are! see! so close!















day 6
woke at 5.30 to pack and had spagetti for breakfast and then we set off! we went to the low elements first. we did this rope activity and i didn't hold on properly so i slid down the rope and my hand was suepr red! so i had to wear gloves. then we finished the activity! yay! and we walked to our campsite. bush bashed and missed our campsite so we got lost. then we found another campsite that was nearer to opc and bigger so we slept there. ate spagetti and cheese for dinner. but it was raining the whole day so we were drenched and did not really enjoy it! so sad! but it was freezing cold in the night. i wolke 3 times. and i was shivering like mad! so slept closer to my team mates. i slept in the same tent as huimin, christabelle, sumati and betina! the other five slept in another tent.
