Ok. i haven post about my OBS trip. shall post it now. =D

ok, so i am from watch Batutta.

our instructor was vivian =D

first day

did nth much though. did some log stuff at our store.

later went for trust fall. then did belaying.

at night it was pitch black at the campsite. -.- we had to cook and dinner in the dark sia.

at night, slpt in same tent as weisiong, nguanhan and haiqal.

first day quite sian la. cos our grp not very enthu =x

second day

we woke up and did pt with cheng ho.

hmm after awhile we set off for camp 2.

we were only allowed to bring 11 bags out of 16 we had.

my bag was stuffed with food and mesh tins.

the trek there was so tiring la. actually, wad tortured me was the weight of the bag. -_- damn heavy la.

who knows i still reach camp 2. haha ^^v

we did rock climbling there in the hall. x)

i was the first to climb. haha. our wall was more difficult to climb than cheng ho's one. so little rocks only o_o

we had to climb to get points to get our boat. (which didn't count in the end)

while waiting for the rain, i sort of took a nap. -.=

after that, we set off to a island call machor island.

funny rite, how can ubin have 'islands'?

it was fun rowing the boat (though i prefer to kayak)

saw a baby jelly fish. haah.

that place was filled with rocks and sand. and no toilets. ( toilets in the bush ) no lights too T.T

pitching the tent there was effing difficult luh. so dark. then the ropes keep coming out. (we cant peg there. the ground too hard)

weisiong cook a bowl of hot milo which was damn nice la.

we all stood in a circle and everyone had a sip. haha.

did santry duty too :) (that was my worse night.LOL)

by now our grp more enthu le :)

third day

nxt day, we were suppose to row arnd the island.

firstly, i and some boys went to camp 2 to put the bags there.

the instructor so suay la. the boat spoil for 3 times. -__-

later went back and start to row our boats le.

it was quite a long way to even reach less than half of the island -.-

saw tan kok hua and vp in a boat. lol.

not long later, it rained lightly and we stopped.

when we rowed back, we were stuck at the same place for 1.5 hrs cos the waves were pushing us back.

we were motivated to roll back faster to camp 2 after hearing that we will be eating dinner provided by the cookhouse =DD

the rowing was quite tiring. my arms were so ached after rowing for 9 hrs liddat. lol.

the toilet there so shiok la. clean and nice. da bian and bathed there. so shiooooook la! xD

fourth day

nxt morning we had a good breakfast oso.

after played some games for our expedition.

nxt we set off for our trekking.

we had to find 4 points on the island. some were very far.

but we only nid to go to 2 points. haha. saw wild boar family too. Lol.

we played a game. vivian hanged a cap onto 1 tree in the forest. we were given time to think about which way to go to touch that tree when blindfolded. we did it. but then we forgot to put all our hands on it. =(

walked back to camp 2. we were third.

i accomplished something even bigger. thats cos i trekked a way loooonger than the trek on day 2 leh! i nv gave up! haha. i rocks! \m/

some were blindfolded at the campsite and the rest nid to command them on how to pitch the tent. our tent was damn solid though some of us were blindfolded la. haha.

this night was most memorable. we did solo night walk.

when we walked into the forest, it looked like some kind of dark evil forest. cant see a thing. -.-

before that, cheng ho instructor motivated us and let us thought about our fears. she told us to take this time, when walking, to think about it. and to overcome it :) was really inspired la.

i was the first of boys to go. so while walking, i thought of hoping to pass my exams. LOL. did not want to care about my surroundings at that time, even if there was rustling of leaves and shadows in the dark.

then when walking into the darker area of the forest (most exciting part leh), saw a light stick. tot wad sia.

then is my watch mate and her friend. they did not dare to walk. -.-

so i walked with them -____-

then reaching soon nguanhan chased up.

in the end i nv complete this walk alone. argh. how i wish to do it agn.

that was the most motivating and inspiring activity la. my favourite activity at OBS oso ^^v

fifth day

last day T.T

wanted to watch sunrise, but sun never rise. =.= rar.

later we did forward fall.

instead of falling back, we nid fall forward and touch a bell.

before jumping, we had to wish for something.

(i wish to be millionaire. HAHA!)

after that, we went to pack our stores and wash our things in the rain =x

later we went to the assembly area to get ready to go =(

i really miss OBS luh. the best camp ever!

learnt alot. i feel that this better than ATC leh =x

learnt how to overcome challenges, fears and difficulties.

my watch rocks too! haha.
