Ok my comp has gone mad , there isnt any things such as changing font , font color , font size or anything when i write a new post . The whole row of button thingys arent there lol . Weird but nevermind .
Oh well , OBS is over finally ! 5 Days of torture x.x Ok luh , it wasnt really torture except for the 4th day which was the worst of the 5 , will tell you all bout it later on haha .
DAY 1 .
Went to Pulau Ubin , With the super heavy bag and all . Took a ferry there of course . Took a look around the camping site , we were at camp 2 which was the low class place in comparison to camp 1 . Took out stuff from the storeroom which every different group had , Packed all the stuff into some big haversack which was "given" to every single person . Awhile later , there was the food ration thing . It was like food madness there at that time . There was like a sheltered area and all of the group's food rations for the 5 days were there . Food was given out to each person equally and we kinda called those food happy food cause you happy then eat , not happy don't eat . Food was given out and we had out first activity , The trust fall thingy . Basically it was an activity where we had to close our eyes and drop onto a stretcher which was held up by our group members . Kinda lame but we had to do it . After that was the belaying , had to climb up a super short wall to "Practice" for the following day's rock climbing . After that was dinner , had to cook dinner by ourselves using the food that they gave us . Pitched tents and went to slack with my buddies . In the end we didnt spend the night in our tents because there was a crazy downpour and all our tents were super wet inside so the instructors let us sleep in the shelters . Secretly SMS-ed throughout the night cos phones were not allowed ( Missed you so much baby , especially on the first night ) Oh well , went to sleep soon after that ;)
DAY 2 .
Woke up at 5am , went to unpitch our tents and all , got ready for the day with a warm up thing , got scolded by my freaking instructor for being late . After the warm up , we had canoeing . Put on lifevests and all and went into the water ( In the kayaks of course ) It was basically a capsize drill practice , had many many capsize practices lol , all the different kinds @@ ) Oh well , i had a freaking Sri Lankan Scholar as my kayaking partner and he was freaking afraid of the water . FYI , he was like 18+ cm ? and he was afraid of water even with lifevests on . After kayaking was the rock climing thing , put on harnesses and helmets and climbed up the thingy . I was the first to go so after climbing up i kinda slept through the whole activity cause i had so much free time . Had a briefing for the following day's sea expedition and went to pack my haversack after that . Had a short walk to the beach where we spent the night . Super fun there cause i could bunk in with my buddies , Bernard , YongXun , Marcus , Jerome , Jeremiah and more haha . Had quite a late night , was chatting all the way while busy SMS-ing my baby girl back in sg .. We slept in the end , skipping our sentry duty which was at 4am + xD
DAY 3 .
Woke up at 5.30 , Unpitched our tents and got ready for the sea expedition . It was basically a kayaking expedition where we had to kayak for almost 7 hours around the whole of Pulau Ubin . Set off at around 7 , It was super tiring luh . The idiot indian guy behind me was slacking throughout the whole thing so i was like kayaking the 2 seater by myself zzz . After the super long trip , we finally arrived at Camp 1 at 1.27 lol . Still remembered the time ;X Had a good bath , Slacked with my buddies during the break and went to climb up the so called jungle or forest to pitch up our tents before dinner . After dinner , had some mini amazing race thing around the campus and the winner had the choice to choose the material to use for their group's airplane lol . In case you guys are wondering why we had to fold airplanes , it was to see how far we could throw the airplanes and the group which threw the plane the furthest got the shortest route for the land expedition the following day . After that , we climbed up the forest thing again and spent the night there .. With SMSes again xD
DAY 4 .
Finally the last night before going back to mainland .. So excited and reluctant at the same time because the land expedition was the super super super super most tiring activity of the whole camp . We had to carry a 15kg + haversack and trek through Pulau Ubin .. Anyway , we set off at around 7 or 8 plus .. At the start , it was super hot and all but later there was a super heavy downpour .. Then shine again , and downpour again . This cycle of rain and shine continued all the way til like 6pm where we finally reached our destination , camp 2 . It was really tiring but i still managed to push on , i have no idea how i managed to keep walking but yea , i made it ! xD Had a good bath and a so called feast at night where everyone was in high spirits and i mean everyone including the instructors and all . Had a great night "partying" and after that went to pitch our tents to spend our night . Fortunately , it did not rain that night so we had a super nice night , kinda windy actually xD Chatted with bernard and all and finally went to fell asleep ;D
DAY 5 !
Woo ! the day we were all waiting for , the end of OBS ! Woke up at 5 plus , did the usual things like unpitching tents and all .. Had a briefing by my instructor before cleaning up the store and all , we had to wash all our tents , our ponchos , our cooking stuff and many more things all the way til like 10 plus where everything was finally done . Bought the OBS shirt and waited for the ferry to come , Bade our farewells to the camp and finally we went back to punggol jetty xD Arrived there and waited for baby to arrive together with rachel . Claudia also tagged along and we went to compass point for lunch and stuff , was super happy when i saw baby luh , btw they pranked galen and i with a fake ant in the taxi lol . seriously super scared when i saw the giant ant thing at my shoulder haha xD So .. Baby wrote letters to me during the 5 days and gave em to me luhs , was super in love with the poem that she wrote haha xD Thanks baby , for making my day ;) Love ya ! Dropped off baby and claudia at yishun mrt and went home after that .. Rested for awhile and got ready to go out with bernard and others to catch some movie lol . We ended watch the 12 lotus thing which i hated throughout -.- Was a waste of time and money . Hated it lol . Bus-ed home after that , reached home around 11 or 12 ? Bathed and went to sleep ;)
Alright , thats all that happened this 5 days haha , Sorry for making you think my blog was dead ya guys , BYE !
This is for you baby , hope you like it :)
