Energy camp : nature (part 2)

Hi guys,
finally i have my energy now to write the second part of the story. Let's jump to it shall we ? The second day, all about the wonderful nature all around us:
Second day : a wonderful nature (19 june 2014)
i woke up to a freezing,dark,wonderful morning. it was 5 when i woke up. There were only 3 toilets and we got to line up and wait for our turn to take a freezing cold bath. After the bath we exercise and stretch, also we all push up and other things we do certainly made us tired and hungry
. So we went straight to eat. It was delicious. You see, it's like home there. There is always food in the table and in the freezer for us to it. And we can freely take it. After that, my team (Geothermal) went to a gazebo down hill and the sun was shining brightly and warmly. The water was shimmering and golden, the trees was green and the air was truly fresh.You couldn't get that in the town. We construct our proposal and we had an idea to talk about compost from fruits peeling.Then, we had a material which is fun. In that material we write to the government about our concern to nature and other problems in Balikpapan.
The next material was about compost and we made it outside. it was fun and simple ! My energy was half empty that moment. then we have to continue the activities and construct our proposal, it was truly an endless work ! I was so dizzy and tired by then but i hung on to watch my team deliver the proposal. But i couldn't cope so i went to my room and that's when i got real sick. My tummy was rumbling, my head was dizzy, my body was freezing cold and my eyes felt like it burn. So everyone thought that i cried ( which is a bit embarrassing ). But all the fascinating strangers and close friend stand by me and say " get well soon ! we don't want you to be sick " and on the other side Yasmin said " drink those water and eat those meal or else i will kill you" . I guess that kind of motivate me but what also motivate me is that we are going through the jungle at night time . Yippie !!! i know that i am a scaredy cat , but this kind of things i would surely do ( as long as this is in group) . My leader ( kak teguh) make sure that i was fine and all my teammates stand by me in case i fainted. I took 6 pills and eat 2 plates of meal, drink 3 glass of water, and then i am fine. So the adventure start.
We went through a dark path with only one flashlight and 10 members. But before this, we were given a wood where we should write our obstacle before going ( example ; i am scared, frightened, etc.) and we should always keep it and we must not lose it until we reached the finish line. My team lined up and we grabbed each other hands and must not let it go. After a long walk in the dark, we arrived in front of a jungle and slide down a small hill. Then we ran through a mud swamp . Seriously, my shoe is all damp and full of mud. Then we went through tall grass as i watched the night sky. It was full of stars. as if the stars guide us and shine only for us. The next obstacle is to grab a water bottle which was tied to a tall branch. We grabbed it but it was way to slippery so we pulled, pulled and finally got it. Then we ducked and jump and go through a swamp. Finally we sit round a fire place and breath in relieve. Oh about the "obstacle wood" we bring across the jungle ? we broke it in half and burn it. A big smile showed in everyone faces. The firework light up the night sky. Bursting freely and burning bright. I watched the firework and the night sky all together. And there i saw all our spirits burning bright and reached up to the dark night sky.

Anyway, some of my friends said that there was a senior who collapsed and fainted when trying to reach the bottle in the tree. When he was brought to the base camp he was possessed and started acting crazy. it is quite scary in that place,the night before, i saw a girl in white standing next to a tree and disappear.Never mind, we all prayed for him that night. Moving on, as soon as we went back we all took a freezing bath at 11 in the night. And then we slept tight.

{ i'll post the third story later }
Goodbye
-Diah-
