A Challenge to ME,The ROPE COURSE!!





I reached Sembawang bus interchange around 7.50am yesterday...
We could't get into the bus because many other company boys were queuing up at the bus stop before us...Therefore we decided to walk towards BB & GG campsite...
Poor Timothy didn't expect that we would be running and walking,hence he carried his children's camp items with him and it's very tough for him...
We were late about 45 seconds,according to Mr Kang's watch...T.T
Before I cooled down from running,we were gonna push up on hard sandy ground...
My palms were hurt...
Then we went to play some warm up games before the actual rope course...
After the warm up games,we went for the low rope course,which is to get over to the otherside of the wooden wall...(I don't know the name for this event...)
Moti,Timothy,GuoMao and myself took turns to use our hands to support others' legs,so that they could get to the top of the wooden wall...
Climbers would need to put their elbows on the top of the wall,and then those people who were on the top already would pull the climber up...
During pulling,climbers' arms would rub against the top part of the wood wall,which resulted injuries on arms...

We ate lunch after that event was completed...
High rope course began after the lunch...
We learnt to tied our own harnesses before the high rope course,and some instructions were given to us too...
Above are three pictures that showed what events we did for the whole afternoon...
But these pictures are not taken by me and people inside are not any of us...
As you can see that the first event is individual event,while the last two events are required pair work...
The first two events above are only scary and challenging,but the last event is scary,challenging,tiring and painful!!!
My whole body ache now because of that...
During the climbling of last event,my arms got some little cuts and all my limbs were bruised...
I sat under the hot sun for the whole afternoon,and of course I got sunburn too...
When you were standing on a steel wire or a small piece of moving log at two or three floors height,you would pray to go down to the ground as soon as possible and you would find that ground is the safest place you had never ever thought of...

We listened to the campsite rope course officer in charge for round up in a room at the end of the course...
I found his words very useful...
He told us not to afraid of fears,and everyone is not perfect,everyone has his or her own fears.He also said that you should go towards fears and conconquer them.
If you were scare of water,then you should go to learn swimming in a proper way...
If you were scare of height,then you should go for more rope courses in a safe and proper way...
If you were not confident to speak in front of others, then you should volunteer yourself to speak more...

This course is painful,challenging and tiring, but useful and valuable to me also...


一直坚持不曾放弃过,
一直微笑不曾哭泣过,
一直等待懵懵懂懂的爱,
一直相信付出会有回报...
