to serve, to strive and not to yield.

hello all, im back from OBS

im super tired and worn out,

shoulders aches, wrist pain, middle-finger swollen,

legs aching, butt also pain, with lots of itchy bites.

im too lazy to upload photos.

i shall upload them once i get it or scans it okay.

im dead beat now.

first reason, i have not been sleeping well,

second reason, i ate my medicine

alright, let me elaborate.

first day:

arrived there with a kinda sian and nervous mood,

settled at camp site one.

admin and introduction stuffs,

my group is call "Barker"

all groups are named after famous people/leaders in spore.

my instructor is called "Hairi"

not hairy hor!

we were all separated to 4 groups,

which were "Washington, Tock Seng, Sui Sen"

in total, we are called "Camp Alpha one"

packed stuffs, learned how to kayak in the afternoon

learned how to rescue and what to do when capsized.

was kinda fun but tiring,

cooked our own dinner,

pitched tents somewhere in the trees.

slept like a log, i didn't wake up a single time at all.

>

second day:

had Physical Training in the morning

they made it kinda fun.

learnt the different ways of greeting.

learnt belaying skills, and did the high elements,

kinda shiok but super hot.

ate dry food for lunch,

tracked with heavy backpacks to somewhere further

from camp site one.

that contained 3 to 4 litres of water,

heavy ponchos, wet shoes, around 3 sets of attire,

solid fuels and some food.

all these are enough to kill.

cooked dinner again and pitched tents somewhere further than

camp site one.

dinner was damn nice.

maggi noodles + mushroom + small corns and baked beans.

had powder bathe, slept not very well.

third day:

packed stuffs and tracked to campsite two

after a 'balancing on rock' activity.

was super heavy la the bag,

land expedition;

tracked from late morning to late evening.

went to peak of pulua ubin,

down again and then to camp site two.

cooked our own dinner again.

pitched tents, was super tired,

you can hear your shoulders screaming "HELP!"

plus some of them even carried the tents,

which were super heavy la.

they pro wan, imma not so strong person.

i missed gays at this part,

because usually they are the ones

helping me to carry stuffs.

the weather was kinda moodswing,

rain then sunshine, then rain again.

super hot and cold la.

managed to bath, though i didn't bring any bathing materials.

borrowed soap and shampoo from jielin,

because just so nice that she left hers in my cubicle,

and so i used it.

borrowed comb and towel from my teammates.

had briefing on sea expedition.

slept, not very well too.

fourth day:

sea expedition!

kayaked the perimeter of the entire pulua ubin.

paired up with karen low.

was taking the backseat.

couldn't really coordinate well at first.

was dead beat.

weather was bad, beached up and rest.

was 3/4 done.

after better weather, changed partner to Shi En

couldn't coordinate well at first,

but both of us kinda cooperated well in silence,

cause we too tired already.

hands and shoulders like gona break.

somemore the seat very hard,

so basically your butt hurts too.

suddenly had a stormy weather,

was damn scary la, rain very heavy

then whole kayak like gona sink soon.

was frantically scouping water out.

and kayaking with our best efforts,

because we were against the wind plus current,

then the rain very heavy also.

got a few times people bang into us,

nearly capsized. seriously scared la.

like already no energy already,

if capsize i think i will have no energy to get up.

just let me float away or sth.

kayaked for 9 hours 56 mintues and 10 sec

the instructor told us to remember this time for our life.

we made it through as an entire fleet.

camp al[ha one rocks.

we had 4 leaders, at the front, back, right and left.

all from NCC (sea) how cool is that.

they are the ones who keeps all of us as a group and diamond shape.

well done people!

hot milo and cooked dinner.

slept in the hall,

finally no pitching and sleeping in tents

in the trees.

was damn cold, couldn't sleep

because my insect bites damn itchy.

oh, i got a few insect bites that swelled up with a water bag

something like blisters,

but they are damn itchy.

got around 5 of them

the moment i put the 'prickly-heat' powder,

it burst, was super pain la,

especially in sea water

Hairi brought me to the medical centre.

the nurse applied some cream

they kinda joked with me,

saying if this doesn't get well i need go for amputation

and my lame instructor keep on saying

they gona use some saws and etc.

i was playing along la. cause i think he's bored.

the nurse say if the swells doesn't go down,

i need to go for doctor.

and good enough, today morning,

the "blister+bite" did not go down,

ate breakfast, took the boat with nicole and another guy

we were all patients.

nicole got hit by paddle of the kayak at the eye bag

then she gotta blue-black there

then another guy also like me,

so some wounds and bites.

3 of us took boat to spore

and van to sengkang polyclinic.

waited super long 2hrs like that for our turn.

got back 5 stuffs.

2 to eat, 3 to apply on my bite.

got back, played, bought shirts, packed.

got certs and stuffs, closing ceremony and off for home.

mr leong and ms lim came to fetch us,

was damn tired, daddy came to fetch me home.

bought kfc and honey milktea,

was craving for both.

dad say i like suffered there,

become more shag, more bites and more tan.

oh i didn't brush my teeth for 4 days.

mwahahahaha

i shall officially announe this.

got home, bath + brush teeth + eat + medicine

im enjoying life,

KFC + computer is what i call shiok and unhealthy life.

camps like OBS is what i call memorable and experiencing life

well all these makes up the parts and parcels of life! :)

im very proud i completed everything.

actually when i was tracking, i keep on thinking about the stuffs that people

said to me before i went there.

especially what yu xiang said

he was like, "must endure ah"

then i was wondering why he say that,

now i know why, because i told him i will

therefore i was continuing to move on.

many people asked me to apply more insect repellent,

there imran, hongwei, syafiq.

haha, cause all of them know mosquitoes love me.

so suay can, especially the unknown insect bites,

people say its sandfly,

but the instructor say maybe not.

so i shall call it anonymous.

i counted, i got more 100+ bites,

that are many that's one bunch together,

so i cannot give you the exact number haha! :D

well overall i really had fun.

i think it's the best outdoor cooking food i ever had.

friendship forged.

it's really an unforgettable experience,

learnt quite a number of stuffs too.

i think we are gona have an outing soon

with my "Barker"s

i told imran it's a miracle lazy people like me

survived at OBS.

walking back and forth from the dorms to the gathering place

is already killing enough,

cause you need to walk uphill.

oh well,

I SURVIVED!

more to come soon.

updated tumblr,
