Last last year it was my first, then last year it was my second time.Hmm.. during solo camping in the jungle, it feels different. Scared, peaceful and content. But most of it boring because there is nothing else to do besides making your tent, making fire and make your self at home in the jungle. I was lucky i did not meet anything but i did feel something though. At night while i was sleeping, i felt scared because it was dark. No source of light to brighten up my campsite except my torchlight, but i need to press the button first. Anyway, when i feel scared while i was sleeping, i felt a strange feeling too. I felt.. I suddenly feel that some my friends were around me. Maybe i was hallucinating because i didn’t eat much for the whole day. During the day, it was so boring but luckily my tent was quite near one of my teammate tent too. So when I’m bored I’ll watch him. haha. But one thing which i don’t like about camping is that i need to find a closed place to go toilet. While i was in the toilet,so called toilet with very good air ventilation and green surroundings, i saw a bright orange worm with a spot on its head. Unique but eww… then while collecting fire wood, a baby leech was sticking to one of my big wood. Leeches.. i don’t fancy them. Then after building my tent, a baby snail was in my tent so i kept an eye on it. While taking my nap in the afternoon, two couple of loving bees went buzzing in and out of my tent. So irritating. Then i wrote a letter to myself.. Well overall it wasn’t that bad, but quite scary at night but not that scary. It is just that I’m scared of the dark and I’m afraid that i might offend spirits in the jungle. Yea i believe they do exist, that is why solo camping is so different and it is an experience. I plan to go to OBS again next year because the things i learn there are different and unique. I Just love it there hahaha.
