IM FINALLY BACK FROM OBS(:
Okay warning this is going to be a uber uber long post.



















RALEIGH- formal shot




Monday 26th May

Got into our groups mine was RALEIGH, instructor: Eugene . Planned and organised our group stall, adminstrative stuff. Group Ics(: Learnt kayaking skills eg, basic paddling, capsizing situations. Okay i was scared of capsizing but after capsizing more than 3 times im starting to enjoy it, LOL. Girls cook Guys pitch. Didn't really sleep.

Tuesday 27th May

Sea Expedition: We have to find our own camp site on our own with a map and compass with our own navigators, instructors are only allowed to guide us not show us the way.

Sea Expedition started at about 1pm, we sat in tri yaks[ 1 girl 2 guys] my kayak was the navigation kayak means we need to be right in the front= paddling hard. Ah my teammates are nice people they say i can rest if im tired:D Ate my strawberry bun while kayaking.

Kayak-ed through a mangrove swamp[ heavy rain, freezing cold], carried our kayaks across the road, mudbank[my kayak capsized] the instructors are such excellent actors and actress they told us we had to put mud onto our face as it is a spritual thing.

Reached the campsite at about 5-6 plus, by the time our bags reached it was already nightfall. Guys pitched the tent in the dark, Girls cook in the dark with ants biting us. Powder bathed, Guys did sentry duties. Worst night experience in my entire life.

Wednesday 28th May

Land Expedition: We have to find another campsite on our own again just like the Sea Xped. Friendly compeition among 3 watches. From 8-9plus to 1plus.

Carried our super uber heavy backpacks and trekked through forests, uneven paths, slippery paths. We chose the wrong route and had to walk back to and fro. But after going through such ordeal, we reached a newer and resort like campsite, pitched tents and cooked near the beaches. Shiok!
Had friendly rock climbing competition with Shackleton, i belayed 2 guys twice non-stop it was effing tiring. Strong eh?
Rashes started appearing at my leg effing gross, sadly there's no cream at the medical centre,, only relief is pricky heat powder, our bestfriend for 5days=.=

Thursday 29th May

7 watches played a game to warm ourselves up, sadly our grp lost and we had to do a stupid cockroach thingy, to make things worse Eugene still had to use the mike and said to me," Elaine, even though i know you hate roaches you still have to do it infront of 7 watches" [ my face gone]

Had a YJ challenge: all 7 watches have to come tgt to play games to get money to buy items to build a cataplut. We have to build 7 Catapluts in total. Almost all of us were half dead when it ended.

Got 3rd for Cheering competion

Trekked back to our original Campsite, did the same usual routine. Had cooking competition among 3 watches, everyone was involved, it was uber fun everyone was happily laughing. RALEIGH won Best Presentation Award weee~

Concidentally all those in fencing wore the cca shirt tgt:D Im serious concidentally.

Friday 30th May

Did a YJ cheer and some dumb puzzle challenge. Cleared and counted our stall items. I realised sleeping in the sun felt pretty good. Did a last sharing session , got our certs and photos. Bought an OBS shirt shld have bought 1 more. Left the ubin around 1, when i first reached the shore i immediately bought a coke and it was ulitmate shiokness! waited for an hour for baboon and friends to go eat at Sakae, their boat was the last. Exchanged jackets with baboon for fun.



























Overall:

Ahh i love my watch we're one of the noisest and enthu bunch around*grins* Our motto: Motivation[ Pronounce it in a strong indian accent with a stress at Motiva] Great instructor. Awesome camp it stones! I`m missing it already. YJ's spirit is not as strong as PL's, boo. Im being and disturbed for 4 days non stop by my watch, embarrasing la. All your faulttt hahaha.

We can just eat food str from packets and cans eg, milo and ovaltine[ ate while trekking], susages w/o cooking it, we only do this if we're uber hungry and no time. Sit anywhere on the ground not caring if it's dirty or stuff.


Souvenirs i got from the camp: Rashes on my legs , > 15 mozzie bites[ fishball itchy] , blister on my last toe, right hand[from all the belaying]and back ache from hard ground.


















My bed before the camp.


I think i'll prolly wake up super late tmr since i need to catch up on my sleep. Haha sorry ah dan don't think i`ll be able to go study tmr. Deciding if i shld go for the fencing competition in June. I might edit if i rmb any stuff to include for now my brain is off.
