YAY! im back from OBS.
actually when we left for Singapore from Pulau Ubin. i feel kinda sad.:[
5 days of friendship
5 days of bonding
5 days of experience we shared
5 days of laughters
and
5 days of ultimate training :D
actually in the first place im like don't really wanting to go for OBS. however, after knowing the friends there i don't think i will regret it, even though is tiring. my watch name: Washington (no doubt, indeed the name of USA's state) :] and it consist of school of Damai, Greendale and Maris Stella. Members: Jenny, Pei Er, Pei Wei, Shin Ju, Aaron, Shaun, Gabriel, Roy, Jun Hao, Zhong Yang, Hui Ning, Wanni, Valerie, Yao Hui and Abilah. of course including instructor: Elton :)
thanks to 2 buddy: Pei Er and Jenny and the 2 B-H-B guys: Shin Ju and Aaron :B
Lets start my ranting:
Day 1
report to school at around 715, being spilt into different groups. Thank goodness is that there is Jenny, Pei Er, Pei Wei and Shin Ju in the same group as me. Ferry-ed to Pulau Ubin. Briefing, Introduction of the Campsite 1, Cookhouse, Storeroom. Spilt into sub-group: Ghapeurs. - Huining, Peiwei, Gabriel and me. Intro ourselves. so we eat lunch and went to a corner to play games: DooDoo Dance, Giant-Wizard-Elf game and also the Pushing game. hehes after that, briefed again of the height elements precautions and belaying. however sad to say that we are still not really bonded as a group as we just know one another. Cook Dinner, Eat, Debrief, Bathe, Sleep in tents in some forested areas.
Day 2
Height elements is the activity. climb the most difficult climb. lols. partner with Shaun [he is Jake Seah's brother, the ex-president of student councillor] lols. because needed coordination, he let me pull his pants to get up, hahahah. thats so funny. however, ShinJu and Gabriel manage to climbed up to the top. they are our dream team, because they have long legs, sorry cannot say them tall because Shin Ju will boast himself - BHB! after that, we kayat-ed to camp 2 but in the middle we needed a capsize drill but thanks to Pei Er and Jenny i manage to stay alive! hahaha:) Cook Dinner, Bathe, Debrief, Sleep.
Day 3
SEA EXPEDITION
Kayating around Pulau Ubin from 8am to about 4-5pm to reach some place near camp 2, its really some remote areas. tiring because the storm and the deliberate capsizing (damn it just because we are the only triyat with all girls). due to CAT1 [lighting alert] we seek refuge at a resort. talk rubbish with Jenny, Shin Ju, Aaron, Pei Er and Pei Wei at the resort. lols damn funny with all the quarreling and arguing and gossiping. and guess what, my asthma laughing is contagious, Jenny and Aaron both also have it. :} Kayat to that place, a plain land with nothing on. so that day is that worst day of all as i can't bathe, can't shit and can't pee. the only place we can pee and shit is in the forest. for dinner, we ate uncook maggi mee with Pei Er, Jenny and Aaron as its like so in a rush as the storm is coming and also add on to the worst, the place is damn muddy with all the squashy mud. storm came and we gossip in the tent with Valerie *blahh* that night i can't sleep because its too cold. :DDDDD

PEI ER AND PEI WEI HEN PEI! hahaha *quoted from Shin Ju*
Aaron and Jenny too :}
Day 4
LAND EXPEDITION
went on trekking, is like the bag is reallyreally killing me, breaking my shoulder. we went off going to check points, climbing up hills and walk back to camp 1, all along we. its really wanting my life. the whole journey i ate 2 apples and 2 bites from Shin Ju's oranges. unfortunately, Elton didn't manage to go with us the whole journey because of a bigbig splinter, so Clayton took over. we are all so tired that after i reached i can hardly take the bags up again and also have 4 bigbig blisters on my leg. argh forget it, you will never know if you didn't try it. reached camp 1 at 459, just 1 minute to 5 which is our expected time. split into groups one to do tents ans others do the store. after that, we had a BUFFET! lols Elton made for us Milo dinosaur. Roy keep calling me Achiever as he always forgot names. so somehow my name changed to Shu Min and Achiever. but we cooked too much, ended up that we have to play games to eat up the food. the loser got to feed a spoonful by the winner. lols. then sleep in the tent at the pirate ship area with the door facing the sea. beautiful scenary, gossiped and sleep.
Day 5
pack up the store. got took advantage, someone lie on my shoulder. >:( lols. thought that there is no more sea activity, however, to our disappointment, there is! :( there is Jetty Jump. gobble down some sea water. when i got out of the water one thing is in my mind, PAIN! because of the blisters. after that, bathe. in the end, Me, Jenny and Pei Er 'defined* as traffic lights because i wore Achievers, Jenny wore Winners and Pei Er wore Victors. lols debrief for the last time with Elton for the evalution and also the last activity of exchanging others point of views and closing speech and took photos for the last time and headed for singapore. fell kinda sad at that time :[
