My greatest regret in this OBS course
is not to borrow a freaking camera and bring it along to take pics.
Now, im gonna post this boring post which has no pics.
Oh well, i wont make this so long.
U guys dont have to see completely wad ppl do in OBS anyway.
U can only know wad OBS is about once u have experienced it.
So it was 5 days in which we went "back to basics"
Yeah. The life without the comfort we have at home.
And obviously, the point was to widen ur comfort zone,
to be able to work with anyone, in any situation.
To embark on an Outward Bound journey.
The 100+ of us were separated into watches(groups)
Me and Guo Sheng were feeling sian and all cuz he was in Armstrong
and i was in Hillary.
But we both soon adapted to our new surroundings and friends.
And of course, we had a great deal of fun.
We were quite lucky too.
Armstrong and Hillary did ALL their activities
at the same time, all the time.
On the 4th day, we were officially called Buddy Watches,
embarking on the Sea Expedition together, as
a self proclaimed Armillary/Hillstrong etc.
These 2 watches combined = fun,love,peace and joy man!
So not only did i have friends from Hillary, but Armstrong too.
Btw, Sea Expedition was a kayaling expedition whereby
we rode double kayaks and paddled a cross-island (Ubin)
We woke up as early as 5.30am to get ready and all.
We set off at around 7.30 i suppose.
According to the planning, we were expected to reach our destination at 2pm.
We reached at 12.30pm
Because Armstrong and Hillary just click!
All the jokes we had during the expedition cancelled out the pain
and strain on our arms.
Not to mention sea-ex was a day after land-ex in which we trekked
through perhaps, half of Pulau Ubin.
Hillary was probably the smallest watch at the end of the course.
16 of us in the start.
Suhailah left due to her not feeling well.
Thn on the last night, Sabi, Wilson Lim, Wilson Soh, Sam and Chang Yi (sorry if wrong spelling) left cuz their skool had
an expedition in Australia a day later.
Good Luck on that guys!
Suhailah brought forward an important note before she left.
To have a strong mentality throughout the camp.
No doubt, i perservered through it cuz of ur words. Thnx!
Chang Yi. You are one of those who worked hardest. Not to mention u are a nice guy too. Although Sabi says u are gay. Haha
Sabi. You truly have the Nepalese Gurkha blood in you. I was touched by your ability to endure the whole land-ex, carrying a full back pack, 2 tents, and 2 camping sticks of filled bottles.
You were most helpful, and as a medic, you always looked out for others.
Wilson Lim. A funny character who loves to play jokes and pranks on others and to lighten us up when we felt frustrated. They missed you most when u guys left.
Wilson Soh. You seem so quiet all the time. But inside you is a hardworker. You helped alot with the stores and all, and i appreciate it.
Sam. Congrats, sea-ex IC for the successful sea-ex. HAHA
Zed. You rocker. Ur probably jamming now. Have fun. And are u in contact with Tina? hehehe
Sutina. Go and have a great time with ur family! Dont forget the dedication u made!
Seri. Thnx for supporting me in my battle against the mosquitoes!
Azura. Dun give up so easily! The Helium Pole just needed more time!
Winston the Monk. Waterproof Monk! Thnx for blessing us with good weather in sea-ex. And for controlling the waves. The comic relief throughout the course, for both Hillary and Armstrong. And dun so blur anymore leh!
Keith. Stop your "susu panas" la! Once funny twice lame! Haha. You also remember ur commitment to OBS hor. Dun talk cock only!
Ding Ren. Thnx for excusing me from tent pitching all the time. haha. i really suck in it.
Stanley. Thnx for all the Insect Repellent u provided me all the time. The shoe spray too. And ur commitment to OBS. To stop using Maphack in DotA!!
Louis. Mr. Cool la. Always cool with the situation. So relaxed wan you. Thnx for leading us thru land ex.
And how can i forget
our instructor.
JONATHAN!
You are so inspirational! All the stories u shared. There is not a single one that i will forget! U made us change our attitude in just 5 days. What a work!
