" Nice one lah!!" -mik- yea! back from OBS!! back into my lovely dopey bedroom!! Although the last obs was more fun, but this one was fun too. This one is a residential camp.

Day 1:
i stepped into school early in the morning (6.50am) with my big and bulgy bag. Then i realised that i was in this watch named MUNSHI and mik was in the same watch as me. haha. Jazz was in kults. we set off to punggol jetty at 7.20am. After all the administration stuffs, we get to know our instructor, KENNY! The day began boring because there were lots of conversation with our instructor and our buddy watch's instructor (belinda). Woah...then here comes lunch. I never myself to get to eat mixed rice in OBS. Coz my last OBS was totally different. We only get to eat lottas can food and maggi mee. After lunch, we did belaying and rock climbing. We managed to hit the 1500m target. We climbed 2250m in total!

At night, it was another sharing session before we go to bed. haha, we get to sleep in the bunk!!! Although the bedsheet was a little dirty, but it was still quite shiok, compared to sleeping in a tent. Haiz, but the sad thing is that, we only get to sleep in the bunk for one day!! Coz those doing NYAA gold needs to stay out for at least three days. So all of us have to sacrifice the bunk.

Day 2:
We woke up at 5am as we need to report to the expedition court at 5.55am for flag raising, followed by PT at 6am. We had games, jumping jets and some exercises for PT. After lunch, we had our kayaking training. Haha, then it comes to the exciting part. Capsize drill! We have to do two capsizes. On in shallow water and one in deep water. I actually did not dare to capsize. But i still complete the capsize drill and it was quite fun! Luckily Zi Xiong was strong enough to flip my kayak over! After all the wet activities, we went back to our campsite to build our basha. OMG, it sucks la. The mobile's tent is really good lor. No holes at all. No insects can even fly in! That's why i have lottas mosquito and SAND FLY bites! I hate sand flies! Coz it was the one which caused the permanent scars on my legs!!

At night, we had our sea expedition briefing by our sea expedition leader (zixiong) and the left and right markers. We were also busying packing our stuffs into the backpack to prepare ourselves for day 3 and 4.

Day 3:
Yea! the start of our expeditions!! We started off with our sea expedition!! We combined with three other watches. Our task is to kayak to a campsite which is quite an ulu one. We are supposed to follow our sea expedition, where he would navigate the way according to the map given. After our PT, morning circle and breakfast, we are supposed to set off at 8.15am. However due to the heavy rain, it was delayed till 9.20am. The expedition started off smooth. Due to the time limit, we had lunch on our kayak during one of the raft up. No one capsized except David's one. =)

After abt three hours, the condition got worst. There was a slight drizzle. Then it turned into a heavy storm. But we could not kayak to a nearby shore to hide from the storm as we were at the middle of the sea. I was damn scared at the moment. The rainwater were like slapping on my face, damn painful! My specs were filled with rainwater. I cannot see a single thing. And the wind was so chilly! I was surrounded my choppy waves too. The instructors then instructed us to kayak towards their motorboats so that they will tie our boats up with a rope to secure us. Many pple managed to kayak towards the motorboat. But my kayak could not la. The kayak kept drifting away due to the strong waves and wind. I was panicking like hell, while my partner oliver was trying his very best to steer towards the direction of the motor boat. I thought i would not be able to survive through the storm. But after several attempts, we managed to kayak towards the motor boat and we were saved. Then when i thought about this when i was tied to the instructor's boat, i find this storm quite interesting although it was quite dangerous. I was shivering like mad at the same time. Damn cold la!

And we finally reached our ulu campsite( also our destination) at 4pm. There were no toliets there at all! as we reached our destination way before the estimated time, our instructors allowed us to bathe in the quarry as a reward! Bathing in the quarry was damn shiok la! We wore our life jackets and jumped in, The water was so clear and cooling! Our instructors jumped in and joined us with the fun too. haha. Then kenny told us a "lame" sotong story. The story goes like that. "Once upon a time, there was this sotong...." then everyone was paying attention at him, he sprayed water at us with his mouth la! After all the fun in the quarry, we walked back to pitch our basha and cooked our food. I had a sleepless night. All thanks to the toads in the bushes, surrounding our tents. There were making lottas freaky noises. An once a toad starts "gwaing", all the toads start to gwa together! Damn noisy and scary. I was very worried that the toads will jumped into our basha la. And there were lottas music too. Just wondering if it was from ubin or from Johor.

Day 4:
When the morning finally arrived, i was so happy as i could finally leave this smelly and muddy campsite. Day 4 was our land expedition. We were supposed to carry pur back packs with us and trek back to our original campsite ( OBS campsite 1). But before making our way back, we were given two senerios to act upon it. We set off at 8.30am and it was raining. So we had to wear our poncho which makes the body seems heavier! The first senerio is that the campsite that we stayed in Day 3 may be flooded. So we were supposed to hike up to the tallest area of Ubin. And we managed to do it in time!! We even saw the whole senery!! The quarry was right at the bottom, the left side was sengkang while the right side was Johor. Damn nice la! Ater this, we proceeded to the next senerio, which was to go to a jetty. We had our lunch at the Ubin's tourists area. The area was like shit lo, super smelly.

After the break, we trekked back straight to campsite 1. When we finally reached at 3.25pm, we were already dead meat. But we were still very happy as we managed to reach campsite 1 although we lost our way half way through.

Day 5:
The last day of the camp. We had pur PJC final challenge. We were split into 4 groups, with 32 persons each. Some are supposed to play games to help to raise funds to "buy" the materials to build a raft. Some were suposed to help build a raft. Yea, and the most fun part was to launch the raft to the sea!! We succeeded la!! The challenge ended at 11.30am. We washed up and had our last lunch in OBS before procceding to buy souveniers. I bought a polo tee and a racer top. Te we had our indiania art festival, where each watch is supposed to come out with a performance. And MUNSHI won the third prize!!! We had our last learning section in the classroom before heading back to punggol jetty.

I had dinner with mik, jazz and peg at lot 1 pizza hut before going home.

Haiz.....kinda miss ubin and the sea water there. I really learn a lot from this camp la. New experiences and also the qualities of being a leader. hmm.it is quite a profound one k!

I am very tired now le. Got to rest liao! c^ya!
