Recap 10/11- 14/11 (OBS)

Day 1

We had to report to school at 7 am. Before that, serene, ximing, fiona, ruiyong , Nicholas and me met at teck waye Mac to have our last proper meal.

In this course,there are had 32 of tamasek Jc students and there are 32 of us. When we reached the jetty, we were made to walk to a building where we waited for the other school to arrive. We sat there and our allocation of watches are made known. In my watch for PJ side, there were sharon, yao jie, Johnathon, Zijian, Nicholas, Ximing, Masturah and me. We had the most number of councilors as compared to the other 3 watches.

When the other school arrived, the watches names and instructors were introduced to us. Our watch is call RALEIGH and our instructor is call ANDY. At first i didn't really like him because he look kind of retard. But my opinion of him changed as the days go on. When we first sat in a group, he told us something which we kept in mind. " In this 5 days, it is a blessing if you are dry". Whciih was quite true.

When we reach camp site 1, we sat in our group and chat a bit. While he settle some admin stuff like keep our valuables. One of our watch mate brought up some stuff and we joked about it and somehow it bonded us together.

The very first activity that we did was the trust fall. Then went on to do flying foxs. I was the first person to do it and it was really very scary! Especially when i am the first person. Not only that, when you are climbing up the stairs it really gets very scary. It was very high and an mistake will be fatal. Of course , there is the belay on however, it is still very scary.

At the end of the activity, when everyone is done, it was time for Dinner. The girls went to cook while the guys went to pitch the tents. It took all of us quite a while to learn how to pitch the tents. almost 30 mins to pitch 1 tent. At the end, we took a very long time just to pitch it.

At night, i couldn't really sleep . It was stuffy and Hot. It was until about 1 am that i get to sleep.










Day 2

We had to wake up very early in the morning ( around 5.15)and we packed our things and we trek 2 km to Camp site 2 which was nicely furnished and built. We left our things at a shelter and took out our kayak. We learn how to kayak ( a boring long talk) and what to do during a capsize. I was paired with ximing. we went out , capsize and came back. Everyone has to do this exercise. Then, we tried to kayak around.

ONE FUNNY INCIDENT OCCURED!

As andy wanted to give us instructions, we were made to raft up. At the end of his instructions, he told us to catch him if he can. Our dear Zijian and huiyi decided to give it a try. They push themselves hard and fast. However, because of their eagerness to win, by paddling very hard they made themselves lack of balance and WOOO~

They CAPSIZED.

I laugh my ass off! It was damn hilarious . They look totally RETARD!

At the end of our practice, we were told by the instructors that it was too late to move to our camp site which was on singapore. So we missed it. we had to camp on the Camp size 2. Like wise, the girls cook and the guys pitch the tents.

That night, i slept very peacefully as i was too tired.

Day 3
We set our to our destination (woodland). We kakay from about 7- 8am all the way to 6pm. We had to eat our lunch on the kakay and urine in the sea. Damn funny.

While kakaying, we met a BIG storm. So all of us have to raft up and waited while the clouds pass us before moving on. Then we reached senoko Power station. There we took pictures and stop for a while. It was there where we had a BIGGER storm. We were being swept into the middle of the sea and had big wave against us. It was indeed very very tough. We had to kakay to shore this time as the wave is too big. It took us very long to do so as the wave is very strongly against us.




All of us were saying "You knnow just now kakay so long i look up, still at the same place.Damn pek cek."

I totally agree.

When we are there, we ate some snacks and rested for a while.Before moving on as the rain gets smaller.

While we are kakaying back to our final destination and our camp size for the night, we saw a BIG , BLACk cloud behind. Coming in our direction . We paddled quickly but the storm still caught us.

IT WAS A FREAKING BIG STORM.

It was misty, waves were against us, raining, cold and near the boat repair ship station.
It was super scary. We cannot see things that are 20 m away. It was super duper misty. Damn scary. The instructors then decided that we have to shore up. We eventually did.

It was at sembawang park. The place where we had council outing the previous time. It was a public place.It was actually 50 m away from our actual campsite but i would prefer this ! because this place has no mosquito! This was suppose to be our worst campsite yet it became the best.

We had our best meal too! Maggie mee! there was also cambell soup! Oh man, it was great!

Had a good night sleep too:D

Day 4
As usual ,we woke up about 5 plus and un - pitch the tents. In the morning, i was feeling a bit sick already. Maybe the lack of sleep and water. i was feeling very cold also. It was quite terrible. Then we had our morning reflections and i saw a macdonald coke! i was so tempted to drink but you never know who drank it before so nope! i am not going to drink it .

Then we kakay back to our camp size 2 and reach there about noon. Then we have to wash our items before we head back to camp size 1. To cook our dinner!!

we had lots of fun cooking our dinner! It was fun.

Day 5

By the last day , the we did mostly reflection and a reverse of trust fall a forward fault in a sense.
Then we went back. while the rest went for dinner, i went home to sleep before meeting jay, fiona, ximing, weicong and ernest for dinner.
