YO! Oh my gosh. Venturing on Saturday. :D So, its like we've gotta meet at 8 sharp. But, I've got 20mins late. Well, sorry man. Hmmm. So we did room cleaning. Cleaning the abseiling room in Sarimbun camp. Wooo. Its like cleaning the whole area for few hours. Then, the real thing comes. We had abseiling lecture. God. A lot of things. Seriously. There's 9 types of karabinas to learn - properties and it's usage. Then Micheal also taught us different way of tying ropes. Various rope tying skills also learned. Butterfly and lapping. They are fast and easy for carriage. There's also mountaineering tying. Wooo. Rope less than 9mm are called cords. Less than 1.4mm are called threads. In ropes, for abseiling, there are 2 types - Dynamic and static. Outside is called the mantle and inside, the kern. Static ropes are stiffer than dynamic's. Dynamic's kern are twisted while static's kern are parallel. To check ropes, just run through them with your hands. If there's any damage, with splintered fibres, its easier to bend. So, no one would dare to use. Not safe! A lot just to remember them in a day. Then we had abseiling. Its kinda high. >_> Was scared at the beginning. But got better for the subsequent time. We learned how to use the figure of 8 too. And the way to hook karabiners. How to handle hot Fo8 too. Also, while abseiling, we also learn how to hang in the air, without the use of our hands. Its safe hanging. Just move the Fo8 to 9 o'clock position. Then pull it hard, coil the rope around the legs for 3 times and done. To return for abseiling, move Fo8 back to 3 o'clock position. Pull it hard, remove the coil. And we can go. ;) Wow. We did this till about 1700. Super tired. -_- Then Weibin send some of us back from there. WOO! Thanks! ;) 5 ventures went: Arjun, Azman, Dexing and Sufian. ----------- After that, went to Zhaopeng's house to bai nian. Then to Benghong's house. :D Gambling is always the perfect way. xD Win or lose, doesn't matter. Cause its just for fun! (: 21 was the game. xD Zhengyi, Carmel, Yichun, Benghong, Angeline, Zhaopeng, Yihui. :D Woooo! I bet I've gotten down all the names perfectly. Went home with Zhengyi then. --------------- Went to 18chef to eat at Tiong today. Angeline and Zhaopeng. Then came Safwan. Oh. That secret person. :O Went to play at the arcade. HAH! (: Then went to look for Shunhui to pass him things. Owww. And he's leaving SG like in 1 day time. 2 March. How fast. ): .Tomorrow! Swimming. X: |
