i miss obs ): a lottttt. today we cried like noone's business and my eyes are so sore and tired now -.-

day 1!
our instructor is SAM! i think that he is the lamest person i have ever met. the thing he said about wild boars marrying us -.- then our watch is columbus! 8 of us from 302, and 7 of us from 310. most of us were almost complete strangers to each other from the different classs. our buddy watch is releigh. lam is their instructor. and somehow they called him lump/lam of shit ;D hahaha
we reached camp 2 and started sorting out our stores. all the equipment and stuff. then went into the forest to pitch our tents and did a few short activities. dinner! was crap. the rice was so cooked that we had difficulty chewing it ;D bleah. it was literally crunchy rice. but nvm, its food and in the end we actually managed to finish the whole pot of rice ;D hahaha

day 2!
pack our backpacks! they were supersupersupersuper heavy and we couldnt even lift it up at first. trekked to camp 1 and stopped in the middle for alpine rescue. it was fun ;D even though we didnt get to the last platform, we tried till the very last minute ;D yay to columbus! then we carried on trekking. wahhhhhhhh when we reached camp 1, we actually saw CHAIRS! and FOOD! aha i didnt appreciate food so much before ;D i was actually so happy to even see chairsss. hahaha that lunch was the best cause we were all hungry and tired at that time. camp 1 is like heaven compared to camp 2. such a biggg difference. and it looks practically like the clone of hci. the railings, the staircase -.- then we went rockclimbing! it was funn :D but then it started raining so we cldnt pitch our tents. meanwhile, we went for the briefing for kayak! ;D was super excited about it. hmm then dinnnnnner. was really gd too (: because it was also in the canteen. heh. then some of us were feeling quite homesick at that time cause of the tired day and stuff ): hmm we had our night circle by the pool! felt so nice and peaceful (:

day 3!
KAYAK! had our capsize and rescue drills and finallyyyy went to kayaked at around 1+. kayak is damn fun ;D me and jiaqi can co ordinate very well! hahaha. reached ubin village aft rnd 3 hrs of kayaking. it wasnt enough ): so short. bleah. but anw was shifting the kayaks on shore and had to flip them over to place them properly and so nicely, one of them piaked on my hand. so pain -.- and my scalp is nicely sunburnttttt. scalp sunburns suckk ): its super painful like some headache. ah. but i only got sunburns on my scalp shoulder and face ;D i didnt get it on my hands! wheee. but anw so ubin village was a really nice place (: except the fact that there wasnt any water supply and we had to go to slp with seawater stinking bodies cause we cldnt bathe. oh and our bread had seawater in it so the red bean bun was like sweet salty and soggy. the three S -.- sam brought us up to the small pavillion isolated up in the village for our night circle then we lied down for star gazing (: it was soooo beautiful there were so many stars in the skynight. wished we could have just slept there but the dirty ground was a bit erm hard so yeah, cldnt. but the sky was really beautiful (: we could see singapore from our tents across the shore and the lights were really pretty too (: oh samantha's backpack had red ants in it cause of some foreign object in her bag. lol lol. but luckily it manged to clear out by the next day.

day 4!
AHHHH TREKKING. sam asked us to wake up early so that we can catch the sunrise. i love the scene, its just so natural and peaceful and pure. the sunrise was really nice too. thennnn after the PTs and morning circles, we trekked. arnd 3/4 of pulau ubin, back to camp 2. from 10.30 to 5.30. ahhhh we wanted to dieee. backpacks were killing us, all the loads on the hands were giving us the blisters. why couldnt we kayak for 7 hrs instead -.- but along the way, it was really fun. ashleen was telling us this yellow ribbon story in chinese which really entertained us. hahaha the group felt so together. going forward together, encouraging each other on, stopping together, doing everything as a grp and reaching the destination as one (: for lunch, we went to the highest point tof pulau ubin to have it. then sam had us stand on the cliff and shout our aspirations out and throw a stone down into the clear quarry below. it was kind of scary that we might slip off and stuff but it felt really gd to shout there (: when we finally reached camp2, we just rushed through the gates even though sam stood there and wanted us to cheer first before entering -.- hahah. columbus did it as one and reached the destination as one. we were sooo happy to see camp 2 (((: yay to columbus! before we had our night circle, we put up a skit for sam since its the last night. we acted as sam and ashleen and xiao yang would ask us questions like 'what are we doing tmr' and we replied in sam's typical of answer. if i told u i would have to kill you. and whats the fun in that. and we ended by doing a cheer (:
then we had our last activity at night. it was an extra one since we had time and we wanted it. sam led us into the forest at pitch dark night and brought us to a place where we were told to stan din a straight line, not to talk and just stare straight and admire the night. then he took us 4 by 4 to some place. somehow while we werewaiting for our turns, ashleen started playing hand squeeze murderer -.- we werent supposed to talk so we ended up stiffling our giggles really really hard -.- then it was our turn. sam led us to this covered up thing and told us it s a tunnel and we have to go through it ;D ashleen took the lead and jiaqi was at the back. the tunnel was pitch dark.it made no difference as to if u closed or opened ur eyes. was slightly scared at first but after i went in, i realised it wasnt that bad at all cause all of us were linking our hands one by one. it was really fun (: tunneling was one of the best. it was relly so worth the time spent on it (:

day 5!
ahhhhh last day! ): woke up and packed our stores. at first we thought we were like so efficient and packed everything. then we were happily drawing on one journal for sam (: then it tuned out we had missing stuff and spent quite a lot of time searchign for them. meanwhile, we had to also go to the beach to pick litter. ack. then souvenirs! :D bought 2 shirts. after that, debrief. oh no, ashleen started crying even before it started. and ppl started tearing. then we talked a lot and held on to strings connecting all of us. at the point of time i was already crying cause sam was telling us about the bonds that we have created in the short 5 days. from complete strangers to a watch so close, bonded and united. then he took out his knife and cut away our bonds of string. that did it, we just cried like taps. especailly when he cut it down, i just couldnt stop crying. all the things we went through together, the journey we embarked together is going to end soon..then while we were leaving for the jetty, damn we started crying again. but we did rmb to tell sam about puttin gin the signboard at the jetty (: on the boat back, it was really horrible ): as you watch the jetty getting further and further you just cry more. its that feeling that you really dont want to part with. that unwillingness to leave everything behind ): OBS, instructors, the fun, the love, the joy. )): so many of us were crying ): reached punggol jetty and saw our teachers. rahh. back to reality ): boarded on the bus and me jiaqi edwyna su huan and catherine sat at the back and we started talking abotu OBS again and as we talked about it, we laughed and cried at the same time. its so memorable..i started out with only knowing edwyna from 310 but now, its so different. we really bonded as one and went through everything as one. its so memorable and fun..
