Survival

I learned some basic survival skills on Saturday. A friend was conducting training on outdoor facilitation skills and everyone was given a task of practising the skill through an activity. Throughout the day we went through different activities. as a result, i learned how to build a fire in the jungle, cook an egg on the fire without a frying pan (u basically wrap the egg with mud), read a compass and build a tent -- my survival kit is all set if ever i'm dumped in the jungle :o)

It was a fun day because i learned things that i didn't expect to. and i discovered mountain biking could be an interesting hobby. well, only after i learn how to cycle of course (yes, i know, i'm one of the few souls that do not know how to cycle ..).

Life hits you the hardest when you least expect it. Lessons are best learned when you do not expect to be taught ...
