OBS you guys can skip the first half of this entry, i'm just gonna ramble on about obs which was pretty much amazing & awesome which is why i don't wanna forget what i went through, which is the reason i'm bothering to write this whole chunk of words down.
Day One.
my watch was Bo Seng!
we didn't really do much on the first day.
did high elements though. after climbing to the top, i was so petrified i didn't dare to take another step forward. i think i took a really really really long time to get across. hahaha :D
Day Two.
land expedition!
had to carry heavy backpacks & trek across the whole island looking for checkpoints.
trekked 10km plus singing Disney/NDP songs and looking for phebe's
durian & rambutan trees, & halfway through, my back started acting up(as always) :(
hiked to the top of the
quarry(highest point in pulau ubin) & boy the view was breathtakingly beautiful. the emotions i felt when we shouted,"BO SENG!!" and heard it echo back to us were indescribable.
when we finally reached the other end of the island, we had to trek halfway back to our campsite. in all, i think we must have trekked 16km or more aren't you guys proud of me??? :D
the guys pitched our tents(the guys in our group were awesome; they did all the saikang automatically & without any complaints. nice or what??!) & we did outdoor cooking(yes i cooked okayy); maggi mee & mushrooms have never tasted this good. :D
and pau's & si ying's 5 packets of maggi mee song is still stuck in my head!
took a powder bath for the first time in my life. hahaha pau's detol powder rocks!
drank
Agent Red (hahaha code name for the illegal 100 plus leo smuggled for us when he was out doing his medical check up)
anyway, when it was time to sleep it was so hot in the tent that i couldn't fall asleep & when i finally was about to drift off to lalaland, it was time for sentry duty :( hahah
Day Three.
got into our triyaks & did the capsize drill.
i still can't tread water! (kev tried to teach me the last time but that pangsai kept laughing at me and in the end i gave up learning it heh)
love my kayaking buddiesss; szu an & zong jin : i couldn't remember his name at first & khai yu was saying just think
"Jin Zong Bao Guo" (some chinese cheng yu which i dont understand) & reverse the first two syllabus, but i ended up calling him Jin Zong in the end oops. haha but i remember his name now! [:
we kayaked til the water level became too low and we were stuck in the swamp in waist deep mud, which was quicksand-esque.
the moment szu an & me got off the triyak we were stuck in the mud.
had to spend a really long time before we could pull ourselves out & the next step we took, we were stuck again!
after a few steps my shoes were stuck & i really had no more energy to pull myself up & zongjin had to come & save me haha
in the end szu an lost one of her shoes lol
we waited for everyone to struggle through the swamp & reach the river and continued kayaking and finally we reached the sea!
but just as we kayaked out to sea, it started raining & there was a storm(!!!)
it was really scary. there was rain and lightning & our triyaks were bobbing up and down in the sea due to the choppy waves.
so we had to go back to the river to wait out the storm, & when the storm finally ended, it was 8km back to land. our triyak was really fast! we were like always among the first few [:
anyway, we finally returned to Camp 1 in one piece & the instructors told us that we were the most suay batch to have experienced both the swamp & the storm within one expedition.
but i thought it made everything more memorable [:
washed up, ate dinner & took so long that we stayed in the canteen until supper haha
& stayed up late talking about various things until we finally couldn't take it & went to bed.
Day Four
did area cleaning & we finished so early we still had time to go to the canteen for our self-arranged tea break :D
then was rock climbing which was fun though it was harder coz of our muscle ache.
and finally, it was time to go back to civilisation!!
the first thing we did was to go to kovan for bubble tea! :D
hahaha was super deprived of it during obs man.
talked for awhile & then siying, szu an & me went to do the kiddy painting thingy(idk what it's called), you know, the one you squirt coloured liquid to paint a picture & put it into the oven & it hardens? yeah that one. hahah it's super fun :D
ANYWAY,
everyone said that I AM A VERY QUIET GIRL [: [: and that I SHOULD SPEAK UP MORE hahahah.
okay i guess i tend to be more reserved and quiet around people i dont really know at first. plus, i was quite shagged during the camp + not feeling very well + other people were much more vocal & noisier, so i sort of became quieter
anyway, i just felt really lucky that i had such nice & fun group mates (which i will still get to see during MOE events/around school; all of us are going to NUS [:)
photos: (yes i know i look like shit due to the lack of sleep + other external factors)
look @ my eyebagsssss O:

Saturday, 4th July (oh gosh it's july already?!!)
slept til 4pm (>17 hours pro right i know [: )
boyfriend confined = prawn fishing date with celest + pangsai cancelled hahaha oops.
was supposed to meet the others @ Holland V but i wasn't feeling well so i didn't wanna go coz i didn't wanna drink + was kinda tired even after so much sleep haha
but in the end it was munkit's house for stayover + zh's birthday celebration (see how important you are zh i went even though i wasn't feeling well are you honored?? [: )
nh & sg bought a small little cake with a power ranger on top & we told zh, no candles so you have to blow the power ranger off the cake HAHAHA :D
anyway, it was a decoy & zh really had a proper cake in the end
photos:
LOL @ the first photo! click to enlarge. it's zh looking like the power ranger :D
here's the "scandalous" photo which nh wanted yq to see. says nh,"i must let yq see what you've been up to while he was confined." hahaha
guitar hero-ed and i was totally off-form. i must insist that i do not suck so badly usually. :D
played Winning 11 (is that what it's called? i realised it's not called FIFA haha.) and made alot of noise while playing. (omg which one am i?! where's the ball?? how to tackle?? press what to shoot?)
and after the game i told guansen, "song gee scored 4 and i scored zero."
and that idiot replied "which means you didn't score anything at all. don't make it sound like you scored something." hahaha
but on second thought, i did score a goal! i scored an own goal coz i was too excited when sg almost scored. hahaha FAIL.
played mahjong, and i teamed up with gs. they couldn't believe my luck haha not that i won alot, but just that i almost always got the tile that i wanted. [:
slept a little, then met yq for mac breakfast, checked movie timings while he was bathing,
& he headed for his driving lesson, while i went home to bathe,
then met him @ orchard & went to eat my favourite cheecheongfun (:DDD), & talked for a really long time then we walked around & someone almost dragged me into the guys toilet(!) that childish pangsai.
played with Transformer toys(those with buttons you can presssss it's damn fun) & then it was it was Ice Age 3 in 3D! [:
which was really funny hahaha i laughed alot during the movie.
initially my 3D goggles were spoilt so i was like, "is it supposed to be flickering like that??" hahah & the whole movie theatre was flooded with kids man.
went to Ajisen Ramen for our pseudo dinner then cabbed home to meet kev for our keyboard lesson (it was a session to teach us how to use the functions of the keyboard which we have at home, which i persuaded the parents to buy but rarely used in the end)
in the cab
gave kev a treat @ swenson's & headed home where i showered & slept another 15 hours away. my body clock is way screwed howww?
and here's a photo of my healthily-growing plant!
just before i left for obs, i realised that i had totally forgotten about its existence = it had not been watered for at least one week or so :P
so i passed it to my awesome mother to see if she could revive it, and when i came back from obs it had already grown so much!! :D
i think the plant had better stay under her care.
when it was with me in my room, i either forgot to water it or watered it excessively coz i was afraid it didn't have enough water :D
