Wildcards Annual Kukup Trip!

Hello everyone!

          First of all, we would like to apologise on the long hiatus as we have been busy training for season 2018/2019.

          So, Wildcards finally had our annual Kukup bonding trip over the weekend of 14th and 15th July and boy was it filled with much excitement and laughter! One of the purpose of our annual trip is mainly to better integrate our newcomers into our family, outside of the mats! What's more exciting about the trip this season is that the group was bigger than it had ever been before, totalling up to 31 of our active members and alumni!

          We gathered in the early morning of 9am at Buona Vista MRT where the bus driver picked us up. Unfortunately due to it being a weekend, we were stuck in a traffic jam at Woodlands checkpoint for over 2 hours and then roughly about an hour at the JB customs.

          Most of us took a quick nap in the bus and once we reached our designated place of stay, the first thing on our agenda was to EAT!

          Once lunch had been devoured by the beasts, it was off for some electric bike riding, and then of course, ice cream and coconut jelly! We took our ride around Kukup, exploring the area with one another as we do not always get to experience the kampong life and it was a good team bonding activity for us.

          Also, thanks to our alumni, Boulder, we get to see some of the shots taken from his drone!

          Come evening time, it was time for our yearly tradition of writing our well wishes on a lantern and then letting it fly off into the sky, and also not forgetting the highlight of our trip, which was playing with the fireworks! Well for those who went, it was certainly a heart-stopping time with the numerous explosions! Once that was done, we retreated back to our chalet and went about doing activities such as playing mahjong and singing karaoke. The more adventurous ones went for a night riding sessions and some went for of course, supper at a nearby place that sells lok-lok!

          All in all, it was a trip filled with much laughter and awesome company and hoped that everyone had gotten to know one another much better. It was also a much needed short weekend break for all of us as well! Till next year, farewell Kukup!
