Hey dear all! I am back from OBS!! (: 2 words-GREAT EXPERIENCE. I'll never give it up for anything! Was feeling quite weird at first 'cause all I know was Amelia and Dick. Budddenn, everyone was so friendly, we all became friends. Our school people were splitted into 2 groups-Gandhi and Rajaratnam. This is my beautiful group, GANDHI (with the Indian accent and the head-sliding)
Day 1 at Camp 1 was rather slow going. I realised that OBS is so not like what i expected in the sense of disciplinary stuffs, unlike the ODAC camps I went for. Which was damn good 'cause I don't fancy UG stuffs. Got to know my group mates better, found out that our instructor Sze Juey (CJ) is a damn lame guy who needs English correcting from us. Yet he is very knowledgeable. Why DOES stars twinkle? XD He is super sweet too! I bet he's the only instructor who reads us a bedtime story like Hippos Can Swim! Our OBS was mobile, brought our tents everywhere to pitch, all over the island.

Day 2 was PT in the morning followed by a short kayak trip to Camp 2. Did high elements there, the ladder logs one. It has a name called Balls breaker! Ho ho! Watch out guys! Partnered Mark, the cool accented guy who last came from China but has an Ang Moh accent, haha! We were super high towards the last part, didn't let 2 people come down until they cheered. We 'flag-lowered' 2 people while singing the school anthem. Had outdoor cooking competition with Raja and till now, the result is still unknown.

Day 3, kayaked about close to 10km by ourselves to a campsite, out of OBS centres. There was no lights, no toilets..Did rafting in silence, sold almost all our can food and precious Nature Valleys for extra time to finish our raft. Tested our shaky raft out in the Quarry and OH YEAH it worked really well! The Quarry was plain awesome to the max! Super clear and clean water, beautiful scenery, big open space. We were so high and happy there, at the count of 3, we all jumped off the raft, abadoning our instructors. Both groups formed a circle and sang the school song, cheered VJ cheers, played like crazy. It was ultra fun, I think that was the thing I enjoyed most! (: Cooked by the sea again, washed up. David and I had to use a pathetic torch to scrub the pots in the seawater, it was so hard to see man! Raja set up public toilets for us to change in the open, heehee. Sonia and I woke up in the middle of the night to star gaze, count aeroplanes, hear M'sia karaoke, swat mosquitoes!

Day 4 was trekking, lots and lots of trekking with the extremely heavy bagpacks. Trekked to Ubin Village first, saw some of the metal plates used for ODAC's clues during OLC, brought back certain memories. I never knew campsite 3 was linked to Ubin Village. Most of the girls saw a super ultra hott eye candy, and we all kept it to ourselves until someone said it out, and we all realised we were eyeing the common guy! HAHAHA! So eevilll. But that Ang Moh was seriously damn hot, like those you'd see in Bay Watch or something, some lifeguard comes to save the day. heehee, like so totally 'Oooh-lala' man! Trekked on to the highest point in Ubin next, the view there was SPECTACULAR!! We could see the quarry, almost the whole of Ubin, Singapore..It was sooo pretty. Went on to 'Shopping centre' next, visited the $5 Ah ma and helped her do manual labour, plucked weeds. Headed back to Camp 1, while doing evacuation drill. Carrying the stretcher and our own bagpack sucks, hands burned, shoulders and backs ached, but we all did it together and I'm so proud of all of them!

Day 5 was just packing up and trying our hardest to finish all our new rations! We could be the first group to finish our rations, just that its not fair 'cause those we sold were given back to us LAST MINUTE. Otherwise we would have eaten it that day. Anyway, I think our group is super greedy, eating all day long. I love Gandhi and all the fun tiring high late noisy itchy moments we all had together! I officially HATE sandflies TO THE CORE!!! They make me itch like mad! ): My arms and legs looked diseased. )':

Apart from OBS, had Soccer DSA trials today. Was surprised to see so many IJ girls come, though I only told 3. Thank you Jo, Cheryl, Denise, Constance and Yen Ling for coming down today to just learn something and have fun and at least TRY. We had lots of fun with you girls! Hope you did too! It was really something watching Genevieve-Gavin's sister play. She is so young yet so pro! Like whoa whoa whoa to her! (:
