Hi ppl! i know it's been a month since i last updated my blog
so today i will update it for the reader's sake...
for today's post i will blog bout my OBS camp

day 1
i arrive at OBS campsite 2
as usual we did ice breaking games
i did belaying(sth needed before u can go rock-climbing)
i pitched my own tent..not the instant one but the one that needs tent pegs and stuff
at night i cooked my own meal..but the rice at the bottom of the pot was burnt
lol...i ate part of it too...and the pot was difficult to scrub
had a fire drill...lol..the instructors want to test out bell only...

day 2
woke up at 5+ am coz those that woke up made lots of noise
had breakfast and did the 'Double Dangle Duo'
sth lyk roch-climbing but we r not climbing the wall
we r climbing logs...as suggested by the name, we did these in pair
luckily i did this with a guy..once the guy pull me and i fly off the course..
lol he used too much strength
at afternoon, we learnt kayaking, how to capsize and how to rescue ppl
the pulau ubin water damn salty...i think it's bcoz ppl pee and vomit inside den got extra salt
den we from campsite 2 kayak to campsite 1

day 3
woke up at 5.45am coz today we need to kayak to our next campsite(if u hav not noticed, we r constantly changing campsites everyday)
we kayak round pulau ubin, which is about 14-15 km
we took 7 hours to do so
almost gave up but luckily i didn't..haha
i got a real bad sun burn and my skin is peeling now
thought will be tanned only..zzz
i somehow injured my right fingers..whenever my thumb is needed, i will not have the strength to do things..but now recover liao
we had a good night rest but before sleeping, i experienced the lunar eclipse

day 4
woke up at 6am..late by 15 min..everyone chiong to finish wat we hav to do, get prepared
and we went for trekking..we trek round pulau ubin with our heavy backpacks on..
this is crazy stuff coz we all had sore shoulders frm yst's kayaking and now we have to carry the backpacks and trek round pulau ubin
at first my grp trek damn slow but after we reach each checkpoint, we were really moralised
we trek faster and faster to the extent that my leg cramped twice near two-third of the whole journey
bcoz of me everyone gpt extra mosquito bites..haha..and oso bcoz of me, my grp found a durian
some of the boys decided to share it after OBS..lol
finally get to bathe when we reach campsite 2..we dun get to bathe except for the first day
although it's a camp, the toilet was damn clean de...not hair on the floor, no water stains on the floor..it's cleaner than most public toilet

day 5
as it rained last night, we woke up late by 45 min...
bcoz the weather is cooler when it rains, we all overslept
we pack all the stuff we used neatly into the store, had 1 last gathering, had 1 last game,
and we are seperated
i was abit unwilling to go home
(i'm always lyk this on the last day of camp)
i bought a black OBS dry-fit polo T-shirt
i wanted to but black and white but there's a long queue so i jus bought 1 only
took a very long time to go home but when i reached home, i bathe for about 45 min
very shiok but had lots of insect bites
these bites are not mosquito bites..they are sandfly bites
i very tired but i still play com for about 2h den i go slp

~end of OBS camp~

now i need to chiong finish my homework(though i keep getting distracted)
