Of Many Parts...

Like all my other posts the title says it all. This weekend has been eventful and very full indeed. First up, KL#1 Royal Rangers finally had its combined annual camp after having separate outpost camps all these years. The camp started on Thursday but I could only come on Friday cause my mom won't let me skip classes. So on Friday, had chem, oblivious to Mr. Ratna's teaching, Bio Lab after that, experiment didn't work out, then meet with Cmdr. Jeffrey and we left for Sungai Congkak...

We reached there just in time for lunch. Moving ahead...DR had to do lashing, went for a dip in the river...


Nice and clean river. You don't find this a lot nowadays. After that, we wanted to build a CoF (Council of Fire is actually a nicely stacked arrangement of firewood that burns nicely) but then the worst happened...

No..someone did not impale himself on a stick of firewood but it started to rain. Small drizzle...fat drops of water then BOOM! the heavens squeezed out every last drop of its tears. That was it. The plan for the night was gone with the rain. We just sat under the canopy and waited. Dinner time passed by and the rain still prevailed. Right at the last moment, before Tim started to light the stove and warm his pack of Brahim's from Tahan using cold water, Cmdr Yoke Yee showed up with the van. So we shooed all the boys into the van and left for the chalet. Thank God for the Commander's chalet..never liked to just wait for the rain to stop...

Back at the Cmdr's chalet...had wonderful dinner prepared by Cmdr Yoke Yee...her famous spaghetti. Soong played a little game with the boys...


A short devotion by Cmdr. Yoke Yee followed...then the time for judgement arrived. Muahahaha! Tiger Court! Made it a game show with Ngeow as executioner. Nicely done my friend. He played a "Professor" with 135 years of cooking experience. Haha. What's more fun is his balance using falsetto and a harsh tone. Punishment...evil food concoctions..hahahaha. Anyone up for grape with mayonnaise and soy sause?

That aside, the day or rather the night ended with me sleeping outside next to the nature's TV after the rain stopped. More to come on my next post...stay tuned.
