13th June, Friday
Beautiful scenery at Changi, but it looks dark...
Was so afraid that it'll rain.....
Nevertheless, we go ahead and started playing ice-breaking games as usual. The best part is, there's only 13 participants and all of them know each other. Lol. That's where the fun begins, playing games, losers paste scotch tape over face! Lol
Group pic before we set off in the Star Cruise Oceanic~
Before we start off our Survival Camp, we're kind enough to let them eat a nice lunch~. Changi Nasi Lemak!! But they have no idea what they are about to go thru for the next 3 days.... =)
We trekked all the way to our campsite & conducted briefing.. Rules & expectations were told, & it's starting to get to them that this might not be the usual fun & exciting camp by Mumbo~.
Sneak pic of Ubin~
Kampong village.. something you'll nv find in Singapore
Briefing to lay the ground rules.
All ready to move into campsite~?? Not so fast...
Group Pic. Notice the smiles?? They won be laughing soon. =)
Shelter building lessons
This is our base camp~
Sneak peak of THEIR campsite
Digging 'toilet' in campsite
Helping them to smoke out the campsite~ (In case you don't know, mosquito hate smoke..so that'll keep them out)
You'll be surprised to see the no. of mosquitoes in the forest....OMG..
Searching for Food..
Setting up fire~
End Result~
To eat, they'll have to find food (which we planted in food field), collect firewoord/branches and start fire with matchsticks. Sweet potato, corn and bananas.. that's all for 3 days...this is to simulate the situation where u have to search for ur own food in deserted island~
Surprising, we managed to find ALOT of durians in ubin! It's the durian season! Plenty of durians dropped on the ground. Sean was so excited until he forgot he's in a camp now!
Prying open the durians~
Too bad, the durians were no ripe even though they fell from trees.
Opppsss, caught in the act. =)
Water parade~
The Ruote to base camp~
Planting food~
Look at the smiles when we reward them with a Ice Cold Coke!~
Making own spears for......
Fishing!!! Look at how smug they are, as if they're definitely gonna get some fishes..

Oppps! No FiShIng!?!?!?! Who cares! we're spearing, not fishing!
Whack ah!
Ready to shoot some fishes! (not like they're any to begin with)
Dinner time~ Good food that we had. Definitely not corns or sweet potato
Base camp became Squatters at nite! Count the no. of squatters!
This is what u call, DEAD TIRED!
Finally, 3D2N camp ended.. on the way back to jetty... The Yandaos are back in Action! =)
Advance party~
Finally! Break camp loh!

Presenting to you the Survivors !!
SI bei Yandao~
Journey back to civilazation where a pleasant surprise is waiting to unfold....
It's BUFFETT!!!! Wootz. after 3D2N of sweet potatoes, Corn & bananas, this buffett certainly came at the right time!!
Lastly, prize presentation. It looks like they're counting something...
The Most Mosquito Bites Award!! 239 bites on the arms & legs!! Faint!
This is only a portion...See to believe it....
Glad the camp turns out well... the participants gave really good feedback. Now they know how to set fire, survive in the wild. I'm pretty sure the kids these days have never slept in the forest before, nor set fire to cook sweet potatoes/corns... Good experience for them~
So who's in for Survival @ Ubin '09 ??? =)
