Withdrawal Symptons and OBS

Facing withdrawal symptoms. Miss OBS!!! It was so fun. Came back yesterday.

Ok let's go through what we did.

64 of us in our group. Split into 4 smaller groups. We were made of St. Andrew's and Fuchun Sec. 32 each. Each sub group had 16. I was in Shackleton.

1st day we prepared for our trek into some forest areas of Pulau Ubin.

Each of us got those really huge camping backpacks. So it weighed like really heavy. And we had ponchos (which btw, was really heavy cuz it was really long and huge) then we had to carry our tents with us. Each group were also given rations, we had to live off those for the 5 days. Eating dry food in the morning and afternoon and only cooked food in the night. Each grp were given 4 20 litre cans of water and each person was given 2, 2litre bottles. So we had to carry 80 kg of water with us.


So we set off. Trekked for around 1 hr, and pitch tents at around 5pm. it was quite dark by then and there was no electricity or toilets(kinda cool). So no lights or buildings in sight. And we had to cook rice for dinner! but guess what, we burnt it and it tasted like crap. I actually spitted out after eating it. We also ate canned sausages. But the rice was like crap, so i ate bread. And we didnt bathe that day too!!! haha nice. And the toilets was actually no toilets. You dig a hole and plant your bombs and cover it back! haha.

On 2nd day we unpitched and left for a proper camp site. It had buildings in the area, it was camp site 1, it looked like a hotel. So we were there for our high elements activity. I was the fastest up the inverse tower, 1 min and 40 secs up the 5 story thing.

then we had kayaking training. learnt all the different kinds of maneuvers. And how to rescue a capsized boat.

Then at night we pitched tents and went for our SEA EXPEDITION briefing! yea man, that was why i came to OBS! we had a sea expedition. From Ubin to Sembawang. man it was far. took us 10 hrs to get there. And the best part of it, we hit a terrible storm halfway there. visibility was reduced to 1m. It was a good relief from the sweltering heat and the sun beating down on our necks. But it was so cold. Everyone was shivering. and the rain pelted down on our backs. It was really really heavy. So we rafted all 32 kayaks together side by side and held on to the instructors boat which was anchored. so we held on while bailing water out of our kayaks. Damn freaking FUN!!!!!!!

then we arrvied at sembawang. All wet, pitched tents, took a shower and slept. then we kayaked back to ubin the next day. So i'm freaking tan! hahaha. So that was all the fun parts of the camp!

And on the last day i performed a song on the guitar for the group. Called Good Riddance(time of your life). First ever performance in front of more than 2 ppl. hahah man it felt good.

this is how the song goes

Its by Green Day.



So now i'm really behind school. but miss OBS so much!
got 5 tests next week so i'm screwed.
