Haunted Camping Trip to Changi

A trip planned so long, spent so much yet turned out to be deviated from its original meaning.

Haunted trip is supposed to be going to haunted and eerie places to explore and feel the atmosphere. But it isn't the case all thanks to the government reconstructing everything.

First place to the old commando barrack is good, dark and eerie, would be better if we could enter but too bad area is off limits by the CCTV. Actually wanted to go through the pathway 99 towards old Changi Hospital but Tracy and Hanh are just too scared to go.

Then we reached the Changi Beach, omg, so many people and so much lights! When did this happen? Even the Changi Point looks so ordinary, turned out to be a recreational park already, omg! What's with the government?

Then later i suggested we go back to the pathway 99 to walk through it but with some hesitancy from both Tracy and Hanh, we decided to go later instead. Little did i realize that it was a bad choice! Because slowly after i fell asleep, it started to rain! And i didn't drill the pegs into the ground more solid, Joey and my tent actually almost went flying if we were not awake to sit on it to make it stay. Luckily i drilled the pegs more deep for the girls so their tent did not start to fly and with all the rain water coming in.

In the end, in view of heavier rain, i decided to just rush for the car, take the umbrellas and keep our tent first before fetching the girls out. But just when i throw the stuffs in our tent into a nearby shelter, Hanh actually cried for toilet!! =.= No choice, can't give Joey more accurate instruction, i had to bring Hanh out without her shoes and bring her to the toilet. Super windy, super cold, my poor Hanh has to walk so long a distance without her shoes on, but i get to hug her all the way so... it was a conflicting feeling =P

Then i went back for Joey, he actually brought the tent along behind me! What the??!! I just show him the way before going back for Tracy. I took everything from her tent and asked Joey to keep the 2nd tent while i brought her back to the car. Then i went to find Hanh and brought her to the car as well. Then Joey still had not keep the 2nd tent yet! I have to go and keep it. Hey Joey, are you sure you were from NCC and as a cadet officer? I'm so glad i still kept my campcraft skills!

After we managed to keep all the stuffs into the car, my dear actually forced me to change out of my wet shirt. I had to change into the shirt Tracy brought, omg, it was so funny and she took pictures of it, hopefully she will honor her promise not to show it to anyone else xD

We had our breakfast at the Changi Village before heading back home. Although the haunted trip isn't so haunted and successful, it was nonetheless considered a successful camping trip since the girls really enjoyed the tents and the rain.

Next time, no excuse, it will be camping right in the middle of CCK Cemetry >:)
