jcc
it’s already the fourth day of exercise chill hermit, the survival
phase of jcc, or otherwise, the 7th day of
jcc, out of 13. not really
feeling hungry though, the hunger’s already outgrown itself. spent the last 3
days building myself a beautiful shelter with bamboo, a fireplace, 2 animal
traps, and halfway into my smoke tepee. made 3 kitchen
utensils out of wood, made a sharp spear to defend myself with. spent the morning so far collecting vines to make rope, and
water from the nearby stream. I think I said before bring in the jungle gives
one a meditative feeling. it’s pensive. stranded here for 6 days with practically nothing, having to
make everything from scratch admittedly does give me a sense of achievement. add no food to that. yet, in the
midst of doing these things I sometimes stop and think. think
a lot. really appreciate everything back home. heck, I even appreciate the cold and fatigue of
somehow, many different thoughts of home just pile in suddenly, without
link or reason. maybe I’ll list down those times I’ve
missed over these past few days, in no particular order or favour…
