Backwoords Prep

Today was backwoods prep.

Nothing much to say. Not because nothing happened, but cannot remember and think of safety precautions for CCA pre-hike log at the same time. I just got the order to do so paiseh no pictures at all. Just words.

Anyway, act started out with some pumping as usual, even though we had perfect attendance. That's something you don't see everyday. But still need to pump. Bzzz. Then we went to get the stuff to cut and mutilate like the bamboo some of us picked at the thomson forest. Cause i didn't go, and the people who went describe the journey like some foam, but the bamboo like some five-star hao liao, so there was a certain degree of suspense. At first, when the bamboo was unvieled from the trash bag, it looked like some god like cause it was actually green, unlike hamster poo. Then when we took it out, it felt like some god like, cause it wasn't dried up. By this time, it was starting to rain. Then zhi xuan asked amos jon ed and me to teach new members rope-tying skils. So we chiong to the den, totally un-demoralized. Then we saw something. More like the absence of something. The bucket of ropes were at bradell west lake from the pioneering act. Just to suan us, the rain suddenly got a lot heavier. Then we had to go the bombed up long way to the storage shed. After going up the overhead bridge structure to the canteen, and all the way to the stadium steps, in the end still kena soaked. Jon Ed the most sadded, cause he kena the job to unlock and lock the storage shed, which was not sheltered. Luckily, he was quite fast so he wasn't much more wet then amos and me. When we zhao all the way back to the gym hall atrium, we saw francis coming, with a umbrella. Totally dry. Then turns out the umbrella was zhi xuan's. The same zhi xuan with us in the den when we started the chiong. Bzzzzz. After the epic race for the ropes, some of us taught the new members to tie cool knots, like square lashing. I got the suang job of sharpening thin bamboo.


I swr sharpening bamboo is some kind of art. Like pen spinning, only a lot more different. The first bamboo to sharpen was hollow. With some cunning method, we managed to sharpen it. Then came the easier solid bamboo, which was even easier to sharpen. After the 2 bamboo sharpening, they were both foaming blunt. Then i moved on to copying francis's hax carving of the y-shape twigs to fit a bamboo skewer. After the carving of the sticks, my thumb officially gged. It gged so much that i couldn't 100% perform thumbaround with the mega small stick of bamboo. Neither could i do a 75% rev thumb. After i finished the stick, all three groups finished the bamboo containers for the backwoods cooking, which was dam smelly. Then we packed up.

After packing up, it was only around 5- 5.30, then had to go parade square practice founder's day procedures with 02. That one was the most bomb sian thing of the whole day. It was just footdrill with mega long pauses. Nothing much to say about the founder's day practice, except that most people find it difficult to differentiate between baris and contingent.

After foot drill it was about 6.45, then we went canteen eat abit then go home ci fan do cca pre-hike log le!!!
