here's a brief accnt of my week in obs (:
day 1
saw tsunami at punggol jetty. yayness! haha. but we were in different watches so didnt get to meet much. played a bit of games like calling out the person's name and whacking them. spent the rest of the morning clearing out store and dividing rations. changed and did jetty jump. stand on a piece of plank and jump in. bleargh. scary. and sea water was so horrible. partnered tutz for kayak. funny. always make her get stuck in the bushes. HAHAHAHA. pitched tent. disagreement with this idiot. dinner. slept with kim and judy and lia and bridget =X.
day 2
belay school in the morning. left on a hike in the afternoon. had to go through this obstacle course called alpine rescue - moving a stretcher laden with two heavy bagpacks. each time ur feet touched the ground u start all over again. very trying. we almost did it. but the last station was hard. having to move everybody using the pulley. sheesh. campground was ALL STONES. sucks la. no shower that night. rice was NOT COOKED. ate grains and chicken curry and mushrooms. bleargh. a bit of ghost stories. slept with adib. bleargh. he stinks. and he snores. he snores like he's drowning underwater or sth. yucks.
day 3
wee wee in the wild :( sadded. hiked to camp 1. yayness! camp 1 is so nice lar. its the residential camp. did rock wall which was so tough lar. at times i just wanted to give up and not move anymore. i was so afraid of falling down. but judy encouraged me and out of my own determined will I DID IT! yayness! lunch at the cookhouse. pretty nice. did high elements. but it rained so i didnt get my chance. i wanted to do the 19 m high one. grrr. had dinner. showered. went for sea ex briefing. briefed the watches. ran a temperature. slept in the nice air conditioned sick bay.
day 4
SEA EXPEDITION! rush rush. set off a little late cause stupid tutz held us all up. she already sick. pon the doctor's session and den when cant go cry bucketloads all. so silly. i paired up with vincent. i was sweeper. my position was right at the back. have to make sure that no one strays behind or fall out of formation. some people really so slow. and attitude people like bobbi and gang. just get lost and die can? kayak for 7 hrs. tiredd. tanned. had to carry kayaks across this road over the other side. and then had to carry kayaks across this MUDDY BANK. everywhere is just mud. and not once. not twice but three times i got stuck in the mud. knee deep. cant move. so frustrating. den while drinking water a fish jumped into the boat and moved arnd. bianggs. tt was the pits. cried out all my frustrations and irritations. took a break in the hot hot sun. headed back. see jetty like so near but it takes like half an hour to just get to one. and ours was the second one. many ships were moving then and wind was very strong. VERY CHOPPY WATERS. testing my patience again. in the end it was all over. ended off the day with a night walk. fell asleep as soon as i hit a tent.
day 5
packed the whole day. final debrief. kenn made us write out weaknesses on a leaf and watch it drift away. romantic eh? bought souvenirs. came back to sg. ate kfc with judy and jie yi. and a LARGE pepsi. and then i got sicker =P. armstrong rawks yeah? no matter what we will always be number one (:
i dont have a fear of heights. i have a fear of falling down. and i learnt tolerance thru obs too. this idiot is like so camp virgin but order people here order people there like as if she the number one camper. i managed to escape pitching tents throughout this whole obs. yayness! and please tutz big deal is it? so scared of her for what? just because she sit there u all dont dare to ask her to move? wth is this man? she cut queue also nvm la. just because she's sick? oh please. eat now or eat later will die is it? please la. *rolls eyes
not as exciting as i would have liked it to be. people who enjoy obs are those who stayed at camp 1. we stayed at camp 2 and ours was mobile. but ah wells. once in a lifetime opportunity. how true =)
