Pulau Ubin, 2 days of mud, sand, sea and sand in my eyes.

It's been 2 days since I got back from my camping trip, it was fun, with some interesting happening here and there.

We camped at Noordin beach, a stone's throw away from the NPCC campsite (not so when it is at night). Our accommodation was rather quaint, a tent inside a hut.

The beach was unique, apart from the fact that Malaysia is extremely close by, the ground is made up some mud/clay like substance beneath 2 cm or so of sand. Great for messing around in, until I got a mudball in my eye, thx to Firdaus.

That was fucking, leaving me screaming and clutching my eye in pain. Almost had to return to the mainland. Seng Wei and Firdaus tried to fish, sadly they did not have any bait, Ubin did not sell any.

Food was basically instant noodles, nothing to talk about.

We did make a campfire out of some dried grass and stuff, but we had a hard time getting it to burn. Probably because we used too much lighter fluid. We succeeded eventually, before it died, and 'revived' itself 3 times, strange isn't it?

Firdaus also had the wonderful idea of walking to the NPCC campsite (Camp Resilience) in the middle of the night in an attempt to get some water (freeloader ;p), he failed, but at least we got to wash off the mud from our bodies :D ) I had fond memories as a cadet over there, ATC, STC, HRC....bah, nvm, getting nostalgia attacks again. The walk to and from the campsite was fking scary and thrilling though.

Sleeping was another matter altogether, despite our sleeping bags, the ground was freakin' uncomfortable. We played with cards for a while before lying down and talking-cock. I went out of the tent just to get some fresh air and a packet of bread that has been lying outside, before seeing 3 dogs, that's when we freaked out.
Reaching for metal bars which we got from our partial success at setting up a tent, we sat back to back, fearing the worst. Firdaus even called the Ubin police post, priceless.

The danger soon passed and we got to sleep, tried to anyway, Firdie's snoring was too fking loud. Woke up after 1 hour of light sleep and went to the nearby public toilet (in the dark, nothing's ever nearby) before attempting to sleep again, this time I was more successful.

The next morning was uneventful really, I just waited till we decided to pack up and go back to the mainland. Ate lunch at Mcdonalds before going home and sleep.
