OBS camp - To serve,to strive,and not to yield.
HELLO PEOPLE I'M BACK FROM OBS AND BAND CAMP :DIt was rly a damn thrilling and fun experience for me.If every single thing were to leave a mark in my life,OBS will definitely leave a big one there (:
So yeah,let's start off with day one!:D
Hmm,met up with Yuting @ the macdonalds to have our last delicious macdonalds breakfast.Headed to school and boarded the bus to Punggol Jetty.Waited there for damn long and the supposedly seasick word,I've changed it to boatsick.How stupid!LOL :D Anyway,we learnt that we'll be splitted into groups.Initially,I was sort of dreading it,going "huh,wth" and stuff.But hey,I was wrong.
We reached there and waited rather long.Turned out I was in RAFFLES!:D (The best team ever!) Damn cool okay,all the groups are named after an explorer's name.My personal likes are the names Raleigh and Tenzing (: Yeap.
Started off with this mini introduction.Wait,before I forget,our instructor was Theresa at first,because our initial instructor was sick and has taken a day MC. Yup,mini introduction and let's see who my group consists of.
-JOCELYN
-ZELIA
-SABRINA
-FELICIA
-YUHAN
-GUANHUI
-CHOONYONG
-ALICIA
-CARLEURS(pronounced as colours.damn cool right!)
-EVELYN
-JOLEEN
-JOSEPH
-JIEN HSIU
-ZEKE
-JUNJIE
-JINGMING
Yup,thats all! I hope I didnt miss out anyone:D Srsly speaking,at the beginning we didnt even bother to talk to one another,just talking among our own school.And it's like SUPER obvious we two groups sit away from one another!HAHA.Anyway,had our very first teambonding game.Which is to interlock your hands in between your knees and pass a rope around.We did it rather quickly(:
Packed our happy meals and stuff,took rather long for it. Next,we had this trust game,I had some problems doing it.It's not that I don't trust they all,it's just that I'm super sensitive and I feel super itchy grrr!Haahah, did belaying activity after that.It wasn't scary at all lah.
Pitched our tents and cooked our dinner yummyyyy:D We had our very first field cooking as a team raffles then.
Second day.
Packed our stuff and left for Kayaking. We had this buoyancy test but srsly I'm damn scared cause I can't swim for nuts ): Even though I can float but I kept drifting away can!Btw,nobody believed when I said I can't swim!Do I rly look like a swimmer?!
Anyway,learnt this capsize thing and rescue drill.Damn cool.We kayak to the big big ocean and capsize in the middle.Srsly Zelia and I damn scared! Yeah,so went out to the big big ocean and I rly hesitate to capsize.Zelia kept encouraging me She's sucha a strong girl! So yeap,our rescuers were a pair of boys and super funny okay! We rescued them first and when they're supposed to be the victims,THEY TOLD US WHAT WE SHOULD DO =.= They were like " oh okay , now blah blah blah " then they get up that time also they use their own energy HAHA.After that our turn,they super funny please.I peed before going up leh! HAHAHA,had a rly hard time climbing back.
So yeah,kayak to our next site and then we did high elements!:D It was rly rly high manz! There's this horizontal log,then diagonal,then horizontal.Zelia and I chose the inner one because seems easier!HAHA. At first I thought it'ld be tough cause it's rly high but when I got there I dont think it's high at all lah.Had lots of hesitation in between cause I couldnt cross over to zelia's side.Yeap,had to climb the tyres which were dangling.Srsly need a lot of strength.Zelia has been encouraging me thanks girl :D
Pitched tents and we had a proper meal in the canteen!:D Nothing of a greal meal but at least a proper one :D Bathed after that,and it rained! It was rly rly stormy.Headed out of the building and fought with the wind.RLY STRONG WINDS! Terribly shivering ): Slept in the hall in the end DAMN LOTS OF MOSQUITOES BITEESSS ):
Third day.
Land expedition!:D Heehee,the bag was super super super super super heavy! Trekked for like 8-10km.It wasn't tiring but the bag was HEAVY. It kept dragging me down can!): Raffles persevered and managed to survive yes!:D Reached our campsite,the one which is the same as secondary three leadership's one. Super super dirty but alrighto lah :D
The next day,we kayak for bout 13km,6hours!It was rly a damn tough proccess but I'm glad we all persevered and reached the ending point :D Heehee,I went down and peeed in the sea!I think it's damn cool okeh :D Everyone was like surrounding me "shhhh" ing for me :D AHAHA. It was rly rly tough cause we're one of the few pairs who's girl-girl pair.Btw,we competed with Weihong and Isabel and yeah,we were lagging behind very far and they actually kayak back to wait for us.So heartwarming :D
After we reached the point,we had our jetty jump! It was a bonus because we reached there early:D Heehee,it was damn fun okay! I'm not scared of the height but the water cause I can't swim): Thanks choonyong for "saving me"HAHAHA. It was a damn thrilling experience lah.I jumped,then go rather deep in e sea,and slowly float up again! I thought I was going to die cause I wasn't floating for an instant moment!):
Cleaned up and stuff,had cooking competition!Our food was damn nice!:D Curry zazzle,bread+tuna dipped in campbell soup,sausages+sardines.ALL IN THE CANNED FOOD:D Guanhui and Joseph practically crapped throughout the way can but it's damn funny!:D Went around kop others food!Esp weihong's and daniel.c's HAHAH.
Next day,final day,PT was super fun and cute :D Cleared up and had morning circle in somewhere quiet but peaceful.Chatted bout our experiences and last but not least,wrote a letter to ourselves.Its bout a short term and long term goal . They're gonna send the letter in 3 months time and we'll see if we've achieved the 3 months goal.Yes,I know what I'm working hard for and I'LL DEFINITELY ACHIEVE IT:D And the goals,only I myself know it:D
Yeah,slacked about and waited for the boat.Rly damn miss the place and my raffles okay): During band concert I'm like damn it,I miss obs): ): Trained home with ting,seems so fast but tiring.
OBS was rly rly a blast.Learnt and experience tonnes of stuff.It's not an ordinary experience,it's an extraordinary one.During kayaking,I rly wanted to give up when zelia told me she was rly tired and couldn't make it.I was super super super tired as well but I persevered. I've learn to cherish and HAHA,eat canned food.Canned food are NICE okay :D And also,many many leadership lessons learnt.In every single activities.I shall not elaborate here but I myself know,so I'll keep it safe in my heart :D Thank you raffles!You guys made the past few days so happening for me!Love you muack muack you :}
Yeap,I'm gonna share some stories with you guys.Peilee told us and it was damn inspring.Some were from theresa.It's not the exact version but the meaning's there (:
Hell vs Heaven.
Once there was this lil guy,who was curious and wishes to know what's hell and what's heaven.God led him to this area infront of a door and opened it.It was a room filled with a huge pot of soup and the people in it was grumpy and pulling a long face because the huge pot consisted of long spoons and they couldn't bring them up and feed themselves.They were hungry.
Next,the lil boy was led to another room. This time,the room had similar conditions but the people in it were joking with one another and drinking the soup.
The difference between both was that in the second room,people were feeding each other since they couldn't feed themseleves.
Teamwork.
Yeah,I shall post other stories other days in different post :D
Let's skip to band concert!
I'm super super super suay on the way.It took great pains for me to reach there and I only reached during the interval): Want to know what happened,just ask me! Super suay.Jiaqi said cause it's black friday! Roar.
Band concert was great! I love tonghua can!Super nice!:D Great job to bandies.Their efforts have finally paid off :D Hehe,enjoyed myself thoroughly and I didnt feel a bit tired.Saw gideon dad and laughed like shyt.HEhe.Headed to burger kind and dinnered there.Yummy!First meal after OBS :D Yeap yeap.
