OBS CAMP WAS EXTREMELY FUN!=D
on the first day... tanglin students were separated into 4 diferent groups: HOLT!, gandi, lincon and one more but i forgot the name...these were names of wonderful ppl.... and i was in HOLT! HOLT is the best! ok.. then each group had river valley students and tanglin students and one instructor... rv students were nice people...holt's instructor was mr boon... he's funny and fun... my teamates were: victoria, siwei, anna, jia min, choon yen, kok hao, eric, joseph, raymond, qui ting, keng wei, hazim, yu cheng, yilong.....Holt did a rope game among ourselves where we had to hold hands at all times and try to pass the rope on to the next person.. it was fun.. then we got know each other better... and we were taken to our bunks... it had beds in it .. like a little house... with toilets and store rooms... and we had our lunch... they supplied us with plates and spoons and forks and cups and bowls and trays... then we had to queue up for the food... and we did some activities along the day..
on the second day... woke up very early in the morning at 5.15 to assemble at the court at 5.55... then we did some exercises and some running... and we did rock climbing... i climbed to the top leh.. haha... that was fun too... then we had to prepare ourselves for a camp outdoors... with rations and life vests...
on the third day... we set out for our sea expenditure... and we kayate on the sea for 8 whole hours! i was on a three-seater kayate.. in case u guys dunno what kayate means... it's kind of like canoeing... so we paddled and paddled and paddled on the sea... a three seater kayate was difficult to manage as we had to control the directions and all that... and i finally get to sea a live jelly-fish! so cute.. and blue... we kayated from OBS camp 1 to OBS camp 2.. around the whole Pulau Ubin island!i'm proud of that... when we were about to reach camp 2 with our kayates... down came the storm and thunders and lightnings and rains... man! then everyone was like shouting " left.. right..left..right.." haha.. it means to paddle to the command.. and we were like rushing through the whole thing... feels so wet and sticky with the mud... when we reach the shore then we have to pull our kayates up.. it was heavy... and we had learnt how to empty the water in the kayates... so we've learnt alot of skills... at night... we had to set up our own tents oso known as barshas.. and cook our own food..
on the fourth day.. we ate rations for breakfast and clear up the place.. and prepare to go even more into the forrest for our camp.. we set up our very own raft called RESPECT! haha.. had lots of fun with the raft which was made of pipes and barrels and strings... then we had jetty jumps.... a little scary ....we had to hike a long way with our heavy bags to the camp site .. which was in the middle of the forrest.. the toilet was like oso in the forrest.. and we had to dig a hole for our waste... alamak.. i rather endure it until i go back to camp 1... and so we stayed awake until like 1 am.. we had a little camp fire among HOLT... we set up out tents and took out our torch lights... we cook maggie mees for dinner together with lots of dishes... it was the best dinner yet cuz we had to fiish everything up... like a little celebration that it was the last night... but everyone would miss one another after we left..the moon light shone bright... and our campfire began... fun.. playing with the fire.. but had to be small so it wont go out of control... we sang songs and everything... dance... play... joke... chat.. at last... we got to bed.. or tent... there were bugs! and the night was cold... haha.. victoria was very funny that night.. she keep toking non-stop haha... making us laugh and laugh... ok.. then we finally got to sleep.. and woke up early next morning ready to set off...
on the last day... we hiked back to camp 1 and washed up our bunks and life vests and back packs and everything... we were like playing with water all the time.. whereever there is water... haha... and we washed the girls toilet... even the boys came in to help... they said they wanted to explore the toilet.. haha... alot of bees around it... then we changed into our dry clothings and pack our bags ready to leave... we gathered together as HOLT with our insructor and said our last feelings and words to each other.. filled in a survey form.. got our certificates and photos... we had our last lunch together as HOLT!... we prepare a little something during the campfire for our dear mr boon... haha.. a little song and a little dance... haha... bought some souveniers like clothes with the OBS logo on it... so very nice... and we went to the jetty preparing to go off back to singapore... we all missed each other so much and some even cried... while we sing the sad sad good bye song... the tones were in it.. our hearts were in it... and the feeling of good bye was in it... and so we said good bye and went back to singapore main land... and finally i got back home with my heavy bags and souveniers and of course wonderful memories of HOLT... we had our hard times and relaxing times together so we knew each other better... i will never forget u guys...this is so sad.. having to leave my precious HOLT but we will meet up someday together... someday...=)
