There's something about OBS that stays with you for life ;
I'm back from OBS and still in one piece ;D
Best moment: Definitely both the land and sea expeditions (:
Worst moment: When I felt sick but had to be stronger for the whole fleet during sea expedition.
Commitment statement: I want Crescent Council to make an impact to the school.
Watchmates <3 : Sindie, Joanne, Aish, Sarah Bennett, Sarah Teo, Karyee, Yiqing, Niveetha, Clare, Nishan, Regine, Meritta and Amla
YAY! Going there with a positive attitude really does help, right Hazwani? Haven't seen you since Monday =O Haha.
Anyway I shall blog about OBS quickly before my eyes shut. I'm actually sitting on smooth ground now. What a change :/ Heh.
Day 1: Trust fall + Belaying. Got to know more about the other people in ENG SOON (L) Instructor Kiah was fun fun! Everyone enjoyed dinner because we had rice haha. & it turned out good ;D Watch mates thought I totally brought the council spirit into the team. Cheh bah... crescent council ftw!
Day 2: Climbed the Indianna! Whoo! I actually made a pact with niveetha to try everything out and yayee we overcame our fear of heights ;D Kayaked to camp 2 while doing capsize drills. Hehe capsizing was really thrilling! ((: Actually, we more of drifted to camp 2 rather than kayaked there. Haha.
Day 3: Land expedition to public campsite! Kiah said that our chances of meeting a wild boar were very low because our group was simply too noisy. HAHA. Sang our FAVOURITE SONG known as the "Beer song" Its a song where we countdown from 100 to 0 and what started off as being the most annoying song ever turned out to be the best song I've heard! Hahaha. We sang HSM + Tarzan + Hi-5 songs too! Oh and we did our incompleted cheer. hahaha. Visited an "Aunty's Farm" along the way. Was suppose to assist Dhanabalan Watch but I hope everyone's doing okay now (: Hope Charlie a.k.a. Bidin's fine too! Told pick-up lines at the Peak of Pulau Ubin. Funny!! Kiah's exact words, "Is this place really romantic?" Haha! Screamed and cheered once we reached because we successfully completed our 8+ km trek (:
Day 4: Sea expedition. Got to admit being one of the navigators was nerve-wrecking. Thank God I have an awesomepossum navigator partner named Priya who gets high eating oreos! Hahaha! We reached Camp 1 amazingly fast. Kayaked 13km in 4 hours how much cooler can Camp 1 Alpha get? ;D I'm so proud of ALL OF YOU, seriously! Well done ;DD I almost lead them to Malaysia because Priya and I got confused at Che Jawa. Heehee. & Regine drowned in beer because we sang the Beer song many times over! Haha! Jetty jump was fantastic!! Celebration dinner was freaking good especially when we got high eating oreos while cooking dinner. There's something about Eng Soon and Oreos that you just can't seem to separate. Haha! We refused to sleep even after pitching our tents so we told more pick-up lines (Karyee is like non-stop pick up line machine haha) and told stories of different genres ;D I love Eng Soon.
Day 5: Trust fall-like activity but we had to say a commitment statement. Hmm... we will help one another to achieve what we said okay? (: Sat in a circle to give out our pretty group picture and certs plus a recap of every activity. Honestly, some of us were on the brink of tears. Ahhhh Eng Soon's so fabulous hehe. Cheered and cheered and cheered and said one last pick up line to Kiah before heading to our boat to be sent back to reality. Heh.
Overall, OBS was a camp that allowed me to try many things that perhaps I'll never do on my own. So YAY OBS!
Three cheers for Eng Soon, Camp 1 Alpha and every other crescentian who went for OBS!
Hip hip hooray!!
p.s. Pictures + proper picture of group shot shall be up when I get them (:
