Day 36 ; A touch of Adventure
Tuesday, April 7, 2009


We were out to have fun again today! This time adventure fun. Hahaha. (:
Some of us were feeling quite restless because we reached back our hostel quite late yesterday night and only had a few hours of sleep since we had to assemble at 7am today.

We went to another campus of WUST at Zhong Nan where the ECE students are staying at.


First impression: This looks nice. What about their hostel? Hahaha.


We then had to walk a short distance to a place near the campus to have the activities. The instructors welcomed us and introduced themselves. Before starting the activities, we had to come up with a group name, group logo and a short cheer.

It was a little hard to break the ice among us because we didn't interact much as we are from different divisions and schools. Amazingly, we still managed to come up with a unique group name; AFRO!!

It was modified from the intial name that we thought of, which was PERM. Hahaha.

The guys were busy figuring out how AFRO should look like. Hahaha. (:

That settled our first task as a group. (:

He is our group instructor and also the overall in-charge. He briefed us on our second task; which was to come up with a wheel that all of us has to step on and it must be able to move forward. Our only resource is the newspaper. That is quite a difficult task. Hahaha.

With more brains, there will be more ideas only if everyone were to contribute their ideas. (:

Kumar and Ian trying to poke holes into the newspaper.


Almost everyone is busy at work and helping each other out. Thats what a team is about. (:


When its all done, it was time for the competition to start! Our group proudly bringing our newpaper wheel to the starting point. Hahaha. (:

We reached the finishing point second. (:
There were some problems coordinating the movement because some of us didn't really know what was going on. All we know was that we should be moving forward. Hahaha. But everything went good. (:

Competition is over!


AFRO. (:


The AFRO girls. Hahaha.

During lunch time, the ECE students brought us to their Muslim canteen to eat. Being hospitable, they carried over 2 tables and chairs so that a big group of us could sit together. Despite being "scolded" by the cleaner, they still went ahead and assured her that they would put them back. Hahaha.

After lunch, they brought us to around to see their hostel. Needless to say, their hostel is more comfortable and spacious. (:

Balcony for hanging laundry.


Living room with a television! How luxurious. Hahaha.


Living room with wooden sofa and table.

It is incomparable with our hostel. However, I still feel homely in our hostel as we get to live differently. (:

When we came back from lunch, we had a small activity of treasure hunt. After that, it was more of the exciting ones. (:

First up, Trust Fall.

I have always been afraid of doing this because there was once when I did trust fall, I fell through. Hahaha. From then on, I was scared whenever we had to do this. However, it went well. The instructor even said I fall very nicely. Hahaha.

The instructor had to tie our hands and feets together so that we will not hit anyone below.


Getting ready to fall.


Falling! Hahaha. (:

After the Trust Fall, we had to climb 8m above the ground and jump across a bridge of 1.2m long.

Us with our harness and helmets on. Hahaha.


Climbing was hard. Looks easy but it wasn't. Hahaha.


Getting ready to jump across.


And its over! Hahaha.

For both activities, my heart was beating quite fast because I was scared. But with a little bit of confidence, I managed to pull it through. (:

The last activity for the day was Rock Climbing! (:

Start of the climb.


Blue against Pink. Hahaha.


I couldn't manage to climb this part right here. ):
But at least I gave it a try although I didn't reach the top. (:

Life isn't always about perfection. 
I guess the little imperfections is what makes our lives more meaningful. (:

The four instructors who guided us through the day. (:

After the activities were over, we had some time to walk around and take photos at the place.

This group of guys managed to catch a fish!


Letting the fish die slowly..


He is pulling the bait from the fish.
Fish = Food! Hahaha.


The three of us with Kumar from LSCT.


MDE, ECE and LSCT!


Three guys and three girls. (:


Its finally time to head home. (:


It looks like as if there are three suns. 
Maybe we are just blinded by the illusion. (:

Presentation is on Thursday. All the best to us! Hahaha.

perfect imperfections. (:
