OMG! so wore team theresian shirt cos of wet activity. team titanic. build a raft with the class. against 3d. alicia, shimin, rezwana, jolin, and two others.. can't remember who..... must go and save our instructors. our was cherlene! saved her first! then had to dismentle everything. 3d dismentalled faster! cos their raft broke a bit. our was steady all the way! yay! so we won! cheered a lot all the way! went to do low elements. with the 6 people still wet! we had to stand on this moveable platform and then balance it! did it in 6min! fast! it was easy! had to sing and then alicia had to carry someone and sing! we did it fast! go 3a!!!!! went to the next station. spider web. didn't get carried. didn't want to. just walked through a bottom hole. and there were two eggs in the spider web... the center part! and some real spider webs too!! wow! so we did it quite fast! carry a few people and all! it was fun! and we had to do a cheer after that! went to the next one which is get into 3s. one stand on top, the other two support. went with chloe and sabrina! they supported me! it was so hard! it was just a tin piece of rope to walk on with friends to support! adn we had to hold hands with the people next to us! so it was harder! but we did it! didn't complete as no time. only the first group had to do.  lunch break!

we had time to change. after lunch, had high elements. did the one with two ropes and planks in between. shannon was our instructer. went up the ladder. was shaky! and people were cheering thanks a lot! it helped!!!! really helped! keep being told to go slower.... and one point, shannon said to bring the rope to the other side.. i was like 'huh'? how to bring to the other side? and other side of what? the plank? bridge? me? so wrapped right arm on the climbing thing and just moved the rope.. and it was done! haha! continued the climb and slipped. so legs dangling in the air for a while. scary. no prob getting onto the platform. once there, got scared looking down. shouted 'shannon!' karthika said he said 'trust me'! didn't hear it up there, but thanks! so sweet!!!! daddy! you're so sweet!!!! thank you so much! miss you!
well, the walking was easy. got to the end and shannon said jump down.... then said sit down. so sat on the platform and wondered how to jump from there. was supposed to sit on the edge... hehe! and then someone came to talk to him. so jump or don't jump? just waited there! the jumping was not scary at all!came down! thanks a lot! to those cheering and to shannon! and the helpers! yay! so just sat down and talked to friends about what happened. it was so fun!!!!! will remember this for life!

wondered around.... watched and cheered everyone else. then went to get teachers to do the survey. for PBL. then did a bit of campfire prep with some people. sorry sorry dance! went for the next element! with cherlene! this was tough. not as scared, but was tougher. walked on a tin rope with ropes on top to support! did a lot of matrix!!! haha! it was over, did campfire prep with the whole class and had time to change. gathered at 6.45 to do more prep, then dinner. xiulin left durin the high elements cos of piano exam the next day. sze ting too!
