Im back from OBS! OBS has given me a new insight at leadership :D OBS is awesome, although it might have very shitty and tiring activities , it was still fun. I belonged to the group Marshall which consisted of 16 people. everyone rocked. Apart from marshall , activities such as sea expedition was carried out with other 3 groups , we were called CAMP 1 BRAVO. everyone was awesome. kinda. There was a very set routine of pitching and setting up tents. im going to summarize what we did on all the 5days. Day 1. ADMIN STUFF. alotttt of admin stuff BOAT TRIP TO UBIN. ice breakers learned how to belay( YET AGAIN) learned how to pitch tents. pitched tents somewhere on top of a hill. Packed camping bags. sleeped on the hill , it was hot inside , super humid. like im being cooked. Day 2 Climbed inverted tower , didn climb to the top though , very tiring and it kinda injures down there. Brought out the kayaks to kayak to our next campsite. learned how to paddle and do TX rescue ( yet again) Paddled to our new campsite and brought our kayaks up and went to our campsite to pitch tents and cooked food for dinner. -ends point form- so..... after that we had a sea expedition briefing which is going to occur tmrw , and we had to kayak 16km... around the whole of ubin! 4 sea expedition leaders were chosen. guess who! I was one! :D kinda unbelievable but its aloysius! Day 3 Struggled like hell to put my contacts into my eyes, but it was fine after awhile and we were all going out to sea starting our sea expedition . i was the navigator, the one infront, got scolded by times by instructor. lets see... ' YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO SHORE' 'YOU ARE TO FAR FROM SHORE' 'YOU ARE GOING TO FAST ' 'YOU ARE GOING TO SLOW' 'YOUR FACE GETTING SUNBURNED' it was funny how people just kayaked in when i was talking to the instructors. i feel that i was kayaking very fast you know. FAST. After around 10 hours of struggling and eating oranges and going down to the sea to pee countless of times , we finally reached our destination on time. i hated people who wasted orange skin. yes thats you nedra. Day 4 Land expedition day. this kinda sucked big time, we had to carry super heavy bags and walk super far. in ponchos. and the ponchos were rubbing against all my sunburns from the previous day. But somehow we got through it and got back to our original campsite 1. had a good bath and changed into my JACKET. ONLY JACKET. xD We cooked our final awesome meal to be presented and ate it. there were apples filled with digestive biscuit thingy for desert. cool right. People who chased me around with a notebook and whacking me with it and asking me to write my number should just fall down and stay down. we slept at the multi purpose hall, and it was uber cold alright. Terence : Im a cold turkey QH: da..da...dammm co...col...coldddd Day 5 Nothing much on day 5 just cleaning up and final goodbyes , i hated goodbyes to the core and i almost cried when i saw people crying. but im a strong boy , what can i say! so we took the boat back to SG and it was home sweet home. i still kinda missed the times we had together. Girls giving eyepower , boys complaining. laughing at what luke says. awesome times. good memories. thanks camp 1 bravo and marshall for these memories. :) |
