OBS - Mon to Fri

Supposedly 5days of hell :D

Mon- Woke up at 5.30 and got ready for camp. Msged frens gdbye then boarded the bus. Reached sch as per normal. Found out that kevin called in sick. sfkdfgjofdstyht. Everyone was pissed ^_^ nvm nvm. Boarded the transport bus ltr on and reached punggol beach. Took the boat to pulau ubin. Our group was called "Amundson" . If i didnt spell it wrong. Anyway we had some ice-breakers first. Then went to the equipment stall and stuff. If lose equipment mus pay ._. Like one tent bout $200 , life-jacket $76 and stuff. Thennnnn we went to collect our food rations for the 5days. 2 huge containers of food. Biscuits , bread , maggie mee, rice, drinks and canned food. We splited up all evenly then eat :D

After eating we played this activity called the "shepard walk" or smth. One person blindfold while the other lead or give instructions. Anyway that was boring. We then practiced belaying. Wearing the harness and helmet and stuff. I think i looked weird in it ): After belaying we went to pitch our tents inside a jungle. Damn suck laaaa. &YES I SUCK AT PITCHING TENTS :x i only give out the string and hold the tent nia. lolllll. Anyway we cooked after that. not much food so had to take some from our own rations. Bathed then met our instructors. OHYA their names were Kia Hong and Kenny. Kia Hong then showed us how to use the first aid kit and stuff. Then came a fire-drill. We all gathered then they debriefed and we went to sleep.

Tue- 1 day down , 4 more to go.

We ate breakfast and all. Biscuits and bread again. Btw eating milo powder is nice :D Anywaay we then trekked with our heavy backpacks to Camp 1. We were at Camp 2. The shit one. The facilities at Camp 1 are so much better. Somemore the food is catered ._. Sua. We did rock-climbing ! My first time. &i climbed the hardest wall in my group :D And i did quite well. Only one guy from the other grp got slightly further than me. Whoo. But rock climbing makes ur fingers and forearm ache like hell ): &i slept on the ground while waiting for ppl to climb. Conclusion: There very nice to sleep ^_^

Afte rock-climbing came the training for our kayaking trip the next day. We were taught how to row and sit on the kayak and stuff. &practiced capsize drill and rescue drill :D FUNFUN. Ohya at that point Hanbin and I were like discussing. Hanbin: Left 88 hours of camp Josiah: WAPIANG SO LONG. I hate moving the kayaks up and down the beach. So heavy. It was around 6plus when we went to bath. The bathroom queue so longgggggg. Had dinner as a group and then we went to pitch our tents. Then came the briefing for the kayaking expedition the next day. We were to kayak for 20km. Almost around the whole island. If wanted to pee and shit mus do in the sea ^_^ LOL. Then food mus bring with us. Halfway through the briefing it rained superduper heaavy. So me and joshua went back to cover our bags. Supper was next. In the end they allowed us to sleep in the multi purpose hall cos the rain was so heavy that we would be sleeping in mud. So called.

Wed- 2 days down, 3more to go.

We set off early. Kayaking was funnnnnn. At first. Til it got real irritating cos we kept on going left/right left/right. &it makes ur arm reaaal tired. The weather was good :D no sun no rain. Jus cloudy ! We kept on bumping into other kayaks. At first it was fun cos like bumper boats but after awhile it gets real irritating ._. We had several stops to eat and stuff. Halfway through kayaking it rained very badly and thr was damn strong lighting. So we stopped and went to this place to wait. Super sian ): After the rain cleared we carried on and reached our "destination" thingy. At that point my clsmate got stung by a stingray. It stung through his shoe and into his feet ._. Damn long la the sting. We found out later that he was in a wheelchair. Anyway we had to carry the kayaks, our bagpacks, personal stuff and alot alot more stuff up a slope full of sharp rocks. So we formed a human chain. I think is more than 20 kayaks bah. DAMN HEAVY LA ._. Some ppl went to pitch tents. The camp site was called "Shopping Centre" . By the time we got everything up it was so dark that torchlights were needed. Somemore only 2 of our 4 tents were pitched -.- .

At first i couldnt find my backpack. Damn scary la ._. No backpack means cannot change. So means dirty sea-wet clothes ._. walau lol. In th end i found it. Goooood thing man. I changed up and powder bathed myself. Not much real use but anyway who cares. Ate 1 or 2 bread then went to sleep. My food rations bag fell out of my backpack &gt lost ._. Heck la. Woke up at 1.30 to do patrolling duty. Saw 2 wild boars. 1 ripped open my fren's backpack and stole his food. lollllll. Both fat can liao la :D Went back to sleep after that.

Thurs- 3 days down, 2 more to go ! :]

Woke up and stuff. Damn shit la the campsite. Was muddy. Anyway we ate and I got so despo that i opened maggie noodles and ate them. OHYA SHIT THE INSTRUCTORS GOT PIZZA AND KFC THAT NIGHT ._. unfaaaaair la ! KiaHong then taught us how to read a map and use a compass. Didnt listen though. Today was our "Land expedition" . We were to trek to 5 checkpoints in total. It was tiring cos u noe we had to carry backpacks and tents and rubbish and stuff. Through out the journey we went in the wrong direction at times. Halfway through we had to go to this quarry to do this activity. Using pipes, ropes and barrels. we were to build a ralf thingy to float into the quarry to measure the depth of it. We failed la ._. Cos thr were alot of slackers in our group who jus sat down thr. Stupid. After that we trekked back to Camp 2. Damn funny cos our group normally sucked in activities but when it came to going back to camp we rushed back and made it in 30-40min. Alot faster than the other groups :]

When we saw Camp 2 we were like going crazy laaaa. All so HIGH ~ We pitched our tents first then went to have a goooood bath. During the pitching of tents we saw 2 grasshoppers humping :D &the most amazing thing is. They can jump and hump at the same time ! After that was dinner. Everyone was jus damn high la. LOL. We met KiaHong at 8 plus. He then told us to wash the equipments and all. Alot to wash. Backpacks , life-jackets , ponchos , groundsheets, messed tins, pots and stuff. After that we went to sleep.

Fri-4 days down, LAST DAY OMG WTF .

Woke up and ate biscuits againn. I ate milo powder and ovatine powder at one go. &that was a very bad mistake ._. caused me my stomach ache which lasted for 1day plus. We washed the tents and stuff. Then my stomach ache gt bad so i went toilet. Then went out &after 10min plus, it got real real bad ._. By the time i reached the toilet i was 95% close to fainting. LOL. I couldnt see the toilet properly. Then i slept in the toilet for awhile & i was sweating as hell. DAMN SUCK LA. lolllll. Good thing nvr faint :D so close la.

Anyway after that we got back our wallets , ez-link and debrief came. We boarded the boats and stuff. &the rest dont need say liao :D

Some lessons i learnt from OBS:
1. Eating milo powder is very nice :D
2. Eating ovatine powder is also very nice :DD
3. Eating milo and ovatine powder at the same time is not very nice ):
