okay, so last week I went on expedition. it was pretty cool.
now, since it was liek a gabazillion seconds ago, I might not remember stuff. :D

FIRST.
okay, well school went okay as usual. me and my group were nervous about the expedition. well it was our first one anyway - so we were scared.
then 12:45 struck and off we went.

we didn't have time for lunch nor solat. D< but I managed to finish about 3/4 of my lunch before it was my group's turn to go. so yeah. we all put on our bags (they were FREAKIN HEAVY... or not) and off we went.
we arrived at the first checkpoint 5-10 minutes later. (LOL WHUT)
then we walked to the next checkpoint for about an hour? I forgot. :P during that time we complained about our bags and marshii was already complaining about her feet. -_-
OOH OH AND THERE WAS THIS SCENE when we were walking happily and gaily (IS THAT EVEN A WORD) and a freakin landcruiser was chasing us with 2 qatari peeps in it.
and so all 4 of us actually went into a formation and went the other waaay~ (excluding marshii who actually went to talk to them =.=) so because of her we found out that they were actually police and wanted to ask u to leave the area because 'important peeps' are coming. (UN anyone?)
my shoulders started to feel sore when we arrived at the 2nd checkpoint. when we arrived, we banged our bags to the floor. :D
and after a short break we went back to walk.

now, the way to the 3rd checkpoint WAS HELL. @_______@
it was the longest distance we had to travel. crossing 2 bridges, ignoring some indians who asked us for water on the way. I forgot what they said but I think it was...
'namibich'? :D 'nanimitch'?
well something liek zat.
anyway, by passing 2 bridges on the way and getting lots of honks and stares, we were almost to the 3rd checkpoint.
AND WE GOT LOST. 0_____0
well basically the part where we had to take the inner road we instead too the main road with lots of sand. we had to go back and take the inner road and reach the checkpoint.
we also met the boy's group of 5.. or was it 4... people. both groups reached the checkpoint safely. -nodsnodsnods-

then, we walked nonstop to the 4th checkpoint. if the 3rd checkpoint was hell, this was the pit of hell. =.=
the 3rd checkpoint was like waaaaaay over here and the 4th checkpoint was waaaaaay over there. (geddit? :D) and because it was a shorter distance then 2nd to 3rd we walked nonstop and no resting. the boys, on the other hand, rested a lot. lame. :P
when we arrived we took like a 10-minute break. hahaha. I almost slept from the tired-ness.
then, we took ages to find the campsite - I held the compass and it was dark, so yeah.
we just kept walking to the watch tower and when we almost reached we found it. BIG COINCEDENCE. haha.
not to mention it was dark and we were tired. 3 groups including mine arrived at the same time.
IT WAS HEAVEN *0* it felt like a huge boulder was lifted from me and I walked with a gay face to the campsite. :D

we just set up our tents and we ate immediately after me and saher went to pray zuhur, ashar, and maghrib. hayah.
the hot chocolate was good~ the joy of camping.
then the night was spent with this activity where we had to make up something like a morse code of our own and do it with our flashlight. we suceeded in all 26 letters and I still remember them all. :D
then all of the girl's groups did truth or dare in a circle and told some ghost stories. KEHEKEHEEKEH. then we all went to sleep. honestly, everyone was fast asleep until morning. guess we were that tired. XD
then the next day we just packed up and went home.
SCHOOL NEVER LOOKED BETTER HONESTLY. :D


and that's it. :P I don't bother going into all the details except the fact that we got more than 30 honks and waves and stares. or maybe even more. -hohohohohohohohohohohohoho-
