Day 1
We arrived at the camp site around 8am and got into our respentive groups. The thing I expected the least to happen, happened. Sigh, BUT! It turned out to be a blessing in disguise(: hehehe
We got to know our instructor Lum and the first sentence he said when he saw us was "Hi, I am Lum. But i prefer you call me handsome" *cough*cough* hahaha but he's a funny guy and very sarcastic. I'll give you an example.
Someone : Lum! Raining leh
Lum : No, water is just falling from the sky
Someone : How to pitch the tent ah
Lum : Well, I normally use my hands
Lum : Tomorrow, you can wake up at anytime you want.
Everybody : Yay!
Lum : But meet me at 0630
Lum is really a joker at times. You wont even know if he's joking or serious. His sarcasm is really #1. I dont think anybody can win him in sarcasm.
After doing everything, we went over to kayak! Super fun can kayaking. But i got a few scratches on my leg and we had to have a capsize drill. And we capsized 3 times instead of twice. And Lennard does not know how to swim! He panicked like anything in the water and I pity Samuel. He had to support Lennard which is like 20kg heavier than him and Lennard himself has a life jacket. Had a hard time clinbing back onto the boat but we made it :D
Day 2
Set off at around 8 or 9am and tracked for about half an hour before reaching camp site B. We had alot of free time as we had to wait for another group to come before we can start our game and we just crapped with Lum the whole time. He also told us about Baby the dog. she's the first animal that obs adopted and she's super cute laa but she's gonna die soon as she's already 15 years old. A dog's age is a human's age divided by four which means Baby is 60 years old. Sigh, she's gonna die soon ):<
I'm gonna continue the others tomorrow. Tiredddd ):<

Day 3
Set off for kayaking (: Well, it wasn't really kayaking. It was basically a big boat that could fit 8 - 9 people inside and everybody would be paddling together. The people were Michelle, Dorcas, Me, Samuel, Vincent, Jerrell and Jereme and the only thing i can say is Vincent & Jerrell both chao hiong! They practically didnt stop, only Vincent rested for a while and let Jereme take over him.
And the funniest part was, Vincent and my back was facing each other so i couldn't see him, he couldn't see me. And when we wanted to stop, Vincent didnt know and he & Jerrell continued paddling but me & Samuel put our paddles in the water and we didnt know that Vincent was actually paddling and we are making the boat stop. HAHAHA than Vincent turned back and saw our paddles in the water than he was like "no wonder the boat like never move one" oh man and he kept using that incident to suan me & Samuel. We were the first boat loh and very far from the second boat and so we have to stop and wait for the rest, but Vincent and Jerrell continued paddling lol
Reached this place with practically nobody. There were only instruction workers at the side. There was no toilet there, only grass and sand and rocks. The worst thing was they only told us to bring 2 extra clothes, which is one for wet activities and one for sleeping. And we had no clothes to change to track. Everybody was sooo pissed and we felt so wet and dirty and we had to trekk in these clothes. In the end, we had to carry our bagpacks which weigh about *10kg and were straining our shoulders once we put it on. And the guys had to carry Desmond's bagpack with them, poor thing. Being a girl had a lot of advantages (:
We reached our campsite which was practically called "shopping center" as it was a place where the wildboard & ants shop for food. And basically our rubbish left on the floor, are called shops. hahah seriously joke of the day. Only the instructors can think of this kind of names. We actually saw wildboard. They are so black and FAT and soooo CUTE! hahaha Baby Elephants [: But they stink horribly. You can smell them for 10m away but they're sooo adorable.
Me, Michelle, Dorcas & Vincent was supposed to do night duty at 9pm until 930pm but Me, Michelle and Dorcas was scared so the guys took over us. hahha we had no torch lights loh, only one pathetic one. We went back to the tent and practically knocked out. BUT! I got disturbed 2 times because of KaiYong who wanted to borrow torch light and Vincent Tan who wanted his water bottle ):<>
Day 4
TRI-YAK DAY! Samuel was one of the Sea-X leaders and he chose to be a sweeper. The people on the boat were Me, Samuel & Lennard and Lennard pissed me off in the boat. I think he pissed Samuel off too just that Samuel has a higher level of tolerance than mine. I don't wanna talk about it. Just that i have one thing to say LENNARD WONG CANT SWIM! And we capsized in the middle of a mangroove swamp and that Lennard panicked like crap and I was the only on holding onto the boat and 2 paddles. Samuel got washed away by the current and Lennard was basically stuck onto a tree. I don't even have the strength to flip over the boat myself and Lennard was like floating in the water shouting "I cant see! i cant see!" It took him like 10 secs than to realised that he had a life jacket on and he could open his eyes and than he grab onto the boat.
We slowly caught up with the rest of the boats. The Sunblock, bottles and ponchos were slowly returned to us whenever we pass another tri-yak. hahah and Lennard lost his 9 year old cap and I lost my specs. And throughout the whole journey back, you could hear Lennard say "wa lao, my 9 year cap leh." and he was complaining and complaining and we like got into a short quarrel in the boat cause I lost my temper and asked him to keep quiet. And he stank throughout the whole trip. Everybody didnt bathe for 2 days, but he didnt bathe for 3 days. On the night that was our last night to bathe before setting off, he didnt bathe. He was lazy. And so, he stank sooo badly throughout the trip that really made me feel so uncomfortable. although we were the sweeper, I have no idea why but we were one of the first few to get onto shore.
Washed the tri-yaks, got back our bagpacks and took out everything and packed our bags, washed the ponchos, ate, bathe and went off to have a short briefing with Lum. And he told us the stupidest story ever on earth! Gosh, it was sooo scary. Everybody just screamed laa. And he must tell us before we go to sleep. Lum's an ass [: hahah even the boys screamed or maybe shouted. And the other groups all could hear us. scary, scary.
Day 5
GO HOME! On that day, I was soo reluctant to go home although around day 3 i was hoping OBS to end soon. But the group just got to know each other and we had so much fun together. But like what Lum said "We must learn to say good bye" ):<
We played last few games of Murderer and got splitted up and went with our respective bus groups. Sigh, I miss the group. My opinion of OBS really changed after the 4th day but its over and we cant do anything about it. Face the fact [:
