Lol. renewed the freaking blog cos 1) i hav nothing to do and 2) my old one is like. Ugh. Dead. lol. Soooo.... I made a new one. see how long it can stay a live lol. anyways aft soooo long i finally want to blog bout OBS so here goes:
Day 1
woke up soooo early. actually not reali. jus 15 min before normal. then prepare prepare.. my dad fetch me to jurong east mrt, i meet gavin thr. aft waiting for a while, desmond came and fetch us to Punggol Point Jetty (Thx much to him and his parent's:D) reached thr at about..... 7.50 to 8 lik tht. and got quite alot of ppl thr liao. wtf. sooo... i went to the area wif the most bandsmen, and the first thing i saw was Zainul and Sufi quarreling. nice one larh. at ard 0815 mr bernard teo came and ask us to assemble. for the first time saw my whole grp. lol. my grp got me, samuel, elton, thaddeus, alwynn, douglas, moses, jon xiao, brian koh, jude, yong chang, qing ke, joel mak, jia cheng and keenan. the best grp everr<3. drill=".=">
Day 2
rained in the morning-.- GG!. lol. Jasmine told us to stay in the tent till rain was lighter. which was around 6.30. then we hurry unpitch our tent, and went back to MPH for Morning exercises:D then we had nice breakfast at the Canteen, and went to store to get stuff for the activities ltr. first we had kayaking practice. choose my pre-booked partner samuel(:P) and brought our kayak thr. then we had short recap on the the paddling, and then floatation testing. lol synchronized swimming in the sea:D then we had capsize practice. it was epic man. lol. when me and samuel capsized, my paddle almost hit him in the balls under water, when we came up his paddle hit my head, and he kicked me=.= and he still can ask 'are u ok?'. aft capsize we had the real drill. lol. our rescue was lik a mistake larh. moses n joel were not supposed to capsized but they did. lool. aft kayaking we had rock climbing. it's like one day one lesson. today, i learnt about the importance of encouragement. Initially, i onli climbed until the 6th panel. but then moses and qing ke was like 'go lah. try again. confirm can do it one' after they keep saying tht, i went to try again. go halfway, then kena stuck dunno wad to do. then lik half the grp down thr keep saying 'u can do it! jus try! dont scared, got belayer.' and got jasmine telling me which stone to step on and grab. then finally reach the top. and feels damn good lah. to know tht always will hav ppl supporting and encouraging me:D. follo rock climbing, we packed our bags for the nxt 3 days and went to campsite 2. each tent sent one person to cook dinner while the rest pitch. so in the end me samuel douglas and yc cook. lol we keep tking other ppl stove to cook:P. aft dinner, we had briefing by Ahmad and Jasmine on tmrw's land Expedition, then went to sleep, and for the first time in OBS, quite comfy:D
Day 3
Today main thing is land ex. my bag was so freaking heavy, i jus toppled backward when i carried it:( so bo bian samuel help. (Thx a lot man samuel:D me luvs ya lots<3>
Day 4
Woke up early cos douglas needed to squeeze into our tent when it broke. then we ate brek and prepare for Sea ex. when Sea Ex started, it was quite a breeze lahh.... but then the problem came in the middle. cos my brekfast was so small, i tink not enuff food, my left had start spasming, and veri difficult to paddle. poor moses had to paddle by himself. aft ohkayy le.... evryone wanted lunch-.- but no lunch! grr about 10 mins before we reach the jetty, i had gastric(ouch!) but had to tahan till the end, and to make matters worse, it was raining lik one kind lik tht. evryone was freezing, and damn hungry. ppl lik rushing to help pull up the kayak, some rush to shelter. once evryone under shelter, the instructors gave out the lunch. cos my gastric was so bad, i almost collapse and faint due to lack of food. so once we were given our food, my whole group started to spam me wif all sorts of food. bread, biscuit, basically evrything we had. they made sure i eat till ohkayy alr then stop. Could reali feel the love and care of my grp. so touching :') then i tink is to keep us awake, we had to come up wif grp cheer. aft evrything, we went for jetty jump, but it was nothing compared to the quarry jump:D. then dinner! the very fantastic and awesomemest dinner in the whole of OBS. we had to cook our own stuff, which apparently were going to be other grps dinner. my grp started a 煮炒 stall. hahah. samuel fry noodle and rice (reali fry), me n jon (the Ah Lian United) cook our trademark ah lian soup, 3 ppl were in charge of cookin the noodle, 3 others to chop stuff, jasmine made milo fondue (which was super nice!) and Elton fried his mix vege. then we put evrything together and made it look damn nice:D then we were made to present our food, then we were told my PL tht we got to eat our own food! we were damn happy! hahaha. had the feast of the night lah. and got a complmentary 'kiss' frm my 'pet dog' too:P. then we went to store to get the stuff we needed for the night and went to campsite to sleep.
Day 5
other thn my grp, evryone woke up late. the instructors were not pleased. ahmad scolded us like one kind lik tht. and so no morning games, and then we were sent to pack our store. it was reallllli messy larh. aft packing we had tis chasm walk thingy. it was quite high frm the ground so it was reali hard for me to walk over. I kept looking down (altho im not supposed to:P) and was quite scared. lol. then elton made me 'smile for the camera' which actually made me feel better, then quite sucessfully got over, altho i had to stand in an awkward position for a while. thr's the grp encouragement again:D then we went to the MPH for debrief. Ahmad made a public apology for the scolding in the morning, cos he accidentally insulted SJI and Christanity. but actually he didnt realli mean it lahh.... nvr mind de. its lik no harm done. so anyway then jasmine told us this touching story and finally said: 'You can now go home' we were partially happy lahh. but then again, OBS was damn fun and memorable. we were brought back to the Punggol Jetty, whr we went to buy the souveniers, then went home.
OBS was actually very fun. Before tht i was quite scared. Cos a lot of seniors kept saying it would be terrible. Altho it was tough at times, but then again, wif the companionship of my grp, it actually made everything seem so much easier. complaining with elton and samuel on the way back during land ex actually made the journey seem so much less tiring. Gossiping wif Moses made the gastric and sea sickness feel better. Acting lian wif jon xiao during OBS served as fun entertainment:D and had lots of help wif my stuff frm samuel. and during OBS got to know a lot more ppl (particularly those frm 321:P). Which made the whole course utterly incredible and memorable.
