That right there is our "war-cry". Each of our groups has to have a war-cry. Figure 8 proclaimed that our war-cry was probably the funniest and most entertaining. It involves weird spins and even stranger dances.
So today was Day 1 of the course and it was the theory session. We wouldn't be climbing or anything until tomorrow's practical session which I won't be attending. Gah. Well we learnt the different components today and learn how to make figure of 8 knots in ropes, which will be attached to our harness and carabiners. It was fun. Real fun. We made it our mission to be able to tie figure of 8 knots behind our backs to live up to our name. Plus we even found out new, easier, more efficient and faster ways to tie these knots. They don't call us the Figure 8's fer nuthin'.
Our team consisted of: William, Nadat, Bernard, Lauren, Pal., Ainura and Hua Jin. Our two teachers, everyone else got one (Hah) were Encik Salleh and Encik Raman.
For life saving, we did the pretty much the same things. Plus we learnt how to properly tie bandages for different types of wounds in different parts of the body. Momoko said we should start a new fashion with these. And toss in a couple of those ring floats and we've got our selves a pretty fun (and tiring) lesson. Oh, did I mention the whole pool was ours?
I swam the entire length of the pool underwater without breathing. Success!
