♥ 5:35:00 PM
boo, haha i'm back from OBS. The expreience tis time was great, it was more mentally draining than pysically draining. I miss oBS man, the instructors were great. They were GENE, he's the man, man. DUH... JOKE. haha... tat's his pet phrase. Wat can i say about him?? HE has a great sense of humour, he's very inspireing too. Next we hav PK aka Miss yong. haha she sure looks like the miss yong we have in sch. short and cute cute one. SHe's the kind tat is very nice and sweet and always sleeping.She's the warrior of light!!! ( ; Then we hav Ling er, i dunno wat to say about her. she's tat kind of ppl tat is serious when it comes to work but still have time to joke around. get it?? haha... Lastly we have SHu yun. She's the SIlent motivator. did not talk much but helped out with the activities we had. oh and we stayed in residential. Frankly speaking i would prefer to sleep in tents. In reseidential there was so many mosqitoes and bugs and all kind ok creepy crawlies and we had PT. Wake up in morning at 5.55 to run from the camp site to the resovoir and do push up, crunches and stuff there. The view there was nice, when you shout out loud there, there will be echo. Fantestic. oh and my watch is called ragaratnam and all of us were prefects except for one. haha si min.
DAy one
Reached there, did belay sch and then climbed the rock wall. oh before we climbed the rock wall we had to do on a piece of paper the leader i wanna be. It was damm funni loh. ppl were screaming their heads off trying to tell the person climbing where next to go. All of us did very well at the rockwall i would say cause most of us managed to reach to the top. YEH!!! THen after tat we had lessons in the BLue room. If you are wondering wat is the Blue room, it a room tat is painted blue any bascially it serves as a classroom. It's damm cosy in there and i think tat sums up day one.
Day two
yup woke up to do PT played some games had breakfast then we did kayaking. just some basics of kayaking cause most of us know how to kayak and how to safe a capsized kayak. so tat was done kindda fast. In the afternoon, we had hight obstacle. It was called the inverse tower. It's damm high loh and we had to climb it. IT not for one person to climb alone. we had to partner with somebody and there will be a string to tie us together and we have to climb together. it's not as easy as it sounds. Most ppl still managed to get to the top. and tat activity took up most of the afternoon. In the evening we had sessions back at the blue room. THe sessions were bascially telling you more about leadership and wat kind of leader you are. It's very useful and somehow the instuctors can make the dry stuff come alive. how i wish a maths and e maths were like tat too. not to boring.
DAy three
We did not have much physical activities on day three. the whole day was just playing leadership games. Oh ya and something very funni happened on day three. As usual we had Pt and was supposed to meet at 6.30am. All of us were very tired the previous night and we all slept like logs so of course we could not wake up on time. It was very funni loh cause the whole was prefects and prefects were late. haha we woke up at 6.38 when eliza suddenly woke up and shouted WE ARE LATE. haha everyone just jumped off their beds, took their toothbush and run for the toilet. We met up with everybody at 6.45. not bad ya, we got ready so fast, haha. Oh we had an arts festival too on tat day. we had to come up an item and perform it on the indiana. THe indiana is actually a big ship for your infor. and my team came in second. I was the devil. haha...nothing much in day 3 mostly we spent in indoors.
Day Four
We had our sea experdition. the initial plan was that we do cross island. So we kayaked into tis small river but the water level was too low and most of us got stuck in the mud with the kayak. It was really a sight man, seeing everybody getting stuck and comming out of their kayak trying to push it out. and instead of pushing their kayak out, they themself got stuck. haha... YUp back to the cross island thingy, the water level was too low and we could not carry on with cross island so we decided to do round the island. We kayak out the small river to tis island called dunno wat secludu. There was nothing on it except for sand and rocks but it was very beautiful. After resting there for awhile we head back to CAmp pne. We kayaaked from 10 to 6.25 around there. and the total distance we covered was 19km while the total distance around Pulau Ubin was 18km. haha. it's a joke man.Oh and after tat we did JETTY Jump. IT was great, very fun!!! And in the evening we were given a very big piece of paper and we were supposed to draw on it. THe drawing part was fun lah everyone just took a paint brush and started to splash paint on it. real fun, but everyone was kindda feeling sad cause it was the last night we had together.
ANd finally DAy five
everyone walked to the canteen for breakfast feeling very sad. IT was very fast how four days had gone by. Most of us did not wanna leave the place cause we all know tat we will never have a second chance like tis to be togethr again and have fun with the instuctors. That was the one and onli chance. tat whole morning we just did some cleanin up of the domms and left.It was sad. I miss the instuctors man, GENE, LING ER, PK and SHU YUN. They were great, We bonded alot with them through the sessions we had in the blue room and the activities. 'no words can express how well we bonded with them. It was just so magical. how i wish i could turn back time and expreience the whole thingy again. It was... GREAT. i have fond memories of the whole exprience. I'll proberly not forget any of the instuctors in my whole life. they are just so wonderful, very inspiring "readers" haha... Tat's so GENE.
As i end off this whole entry, i'll wanna say a big thank you once again to everybody who encouraged me, helped me and put up with all my nonsense for the whole 5 days, and lastly not forgetting the instructors. Your rock man.. LOVE you all.
