[that was absolutely random].
whoo!
- pitching tents.
- eating crackers. [for lunch & breakkie]
- cooking sardines. [for dinner]
- smelly equipment.
- kayaking [if that's how you spell it]
- rock climbing.
- hiking. [with 10kg back packs]
basically.
pitching tents are hard. especially when bugs are attacking you.
i'll break up the days.
day 1
i was late for school. i found out about the groups.
i was with kenny, james, joel, david [superhero], aviel, wynton, sean, angeline, georgina, amelia, ester, naomi & taeyeon.
our group name was amundsen. & our instructor was theresa. i actually miss her and feel sorry for her. hahaha.
anyway, we didn't even reach pulau ubin and were already dying. [so that's a bad start].
then the whining began.
from everyone.
then we took a boat to pulau ubin, OBS camp 2. [the not so nice one] [camp 1 is better]
carrying our bags that we thought were 'heavy'. to the furthest part of the camp.
it sucked.
then we got to know each other & stuff.
i guess our group wasn't too bad.
anywaysss. near night, we had to pitch the tents in the forest. and we found some new-born bird that like, fell out of an egg cause you can see a bit of blood on it's back. well it was hard to pitch tents at first cause we were all terrified of bugs & leaves & branches, each other, etc.
then after that we had to cook.
we were the slowest group so we ate & showered last.
i couldn't sleep cause we were on a hill & it was too hot.
day 2
kayaking day.
i was damn scared of capsizing. [if that's how you spell it]
i was scared that i would be stuck. but no. i'm alive! waheyyy!
paddling was hardd mannn!
steering is harder. wth. urgh.
it is harder than it looks. especially when professionals demonstrate.
and bloody capsizing in the middle of the ocean is damn hard to get back on with the damn life jackets.
and it rained and rained. thunder/lightning storm. a.k.a Cat 1. [according to obs].
but we kayaked for like...4 hours. i think. to get to camp 1.
the bestesttt camp everr! hahahahahaha. compared to camp 2.
we actually had real food there.
anyhoos. i kayaked with taeyeon. who is kinda weaker than me. so i did most of the damn paddling.
owwwyy.
my arms ache.
oh and we slept in a better place.
day 3
i found out that i was allergic to insect repellent.
so my neck & forehead is like crackle crackle pop pop.
hahaha. well not really.
just very cracky. [but now it's okay].
& i thought i lost my moisturizer.
so it was badd though out the camp.
well anyway, it was rock climbing day.
we had p.t. or p.t.t [forgot which one it was] in the morning.
4 laps? i can't remember. but it was ok.
not too tiring.
then we had breakfast. REAL breakfast. bee hoon, sausage & hot milo. hmmmnnn. yummmmyyy.
delishh babeyy.
anyhooss, we went for belaying practice where we had a script of things to say when we were climbing & belaying.
climber: am i on belay?
belayer: no you are not. [tightens rope]
climber: that is me. [AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. that always cracks me up]
belayer: squeeze check
: pull check
: instructor check/theresaaaaa!!!
climber: climbing.
belayer: climb on.
[climbs]
climber: falling.
belayer: wait, instructor check.
belayer: fall on.
ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
i heart the script.
hee hee.
oh i forgot. there's a script for the capsizing too.
buddy buddy are you ok?
hee hee. ohh emmm geee. i love it.
so cute & cartoonized.
well i didn't have time to climb so i just belayed.
i love belaying. it is funn.
it rained again.
that was then we actually went climbing. [after the rain].
then we went to hike like 2-3km back to camp 2. with those damn 10kg back packs.
up & down slippery, muddy hills.
but at least we didn't go the wrong way. or we'd be screwed.
extra kilometers would suck buttocks.
well we got there so it doesn't matter. in 28 minutes babyy! the first time we ever got somewhere early or even on time.
but we slept late and had many forfeits that lead to extra rounds for p.t. in the morning.
day 4
we were meant to do 18 rounds for p.t.
but my knee gave up and i did 2.
it burned like hell. i left my salonpas at home.
well it was going home day i was pretty happy.
but kinda sad too.
and something damn hillarious happened on that day.
hehe. if you wanna know.
ask me in person.
heh heh.
well i have alot of camp stories to tell all ya'll.
so ask me in person.
well i bought an OBS tee & photo. which i looked shitty in.
oh well. good & bad memories.

2009 H1 N1 disease.
swine disease is now called 2009 H1 N1 disease.
wowwyy.
so many things happened with this disease while i was in obs.
that sucks.
i'm damn scared now.
what if it comes here.
arrghh.
should have stayed in pulau ubin.
hehehe. nahh
i miss my awesome family.
but i was damn moody after getting off the bus.
it ishh baddddd. i hate pms-ness.
ahh well.
i kinda have nothing else to say.
haha.
camp was the main point.
& i loved it.

well that's all my love-a-llyss.
xoxo
