YAY I AM BACK FROM OBS! ^^ I am proud to say that I didn't shed a tear during OBS :D it's so delightful to see civilisation again the first thing I did after I got off the bus was to buy bubble tea from the shop near my house! :)
I really gained alot from these 5 days in PulauUbin ;D other from the fact that my feet are itching and I have rashes on my hand... I really had the chance to experience that feeling of pushing yourself to your limits :D
We kayaked on the third day of camp my partner was Kaixuan! it was smooth-sailing at first cos the weather was so fine XD it was drizzling and there were cooling winds blowing SO SHUANG LA!!! ^^ Hallelujah! God blessed us with such a good weather :)
but as we reached the turning point which is a channel the waves got bigger and bigger and it became really hard for us to kayak properly :( the seawater kept splashing onto us and some even had their kayaks half-filled with seawater D: then we were forced to go onto land
it was really depressing and frustrating xO looking at the big and strong waves I was wondering and doubting if we can ever make it to our destination xO even though we were all tired but we had to set off again this time my partner was Jiaxing :)
again it was difficult to control the kayak it seemed that however hard we paddled it just wouldn't go towards the direction we wanted it to head to xP Jiaxing and I were feeling so helpless T.T so we kept blowing the whistle :X but thanks to the instructors who taught us various ways of paddling and using all our might and energy we finally were able to kayak properly!!! :DDD
then 308 got together for a short break again as we held onto each others' boats I felt that our class has really become more bonded :D we 加油-ed each other along the way and even though all of us were scattered around along the channel we knew that we are all in this together =D
then we paddled together close-knittedly as a class to our destination while cheering each other on :D ahhh thanks alot to those who cheered me on! YOU GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON! when we finally reached the campsite woah that sense of victory and satisfaction was SHIOKXDD
sometimes I think Zhiwei can read our minds or something cos I was whining about the campsite being dirty and freaky x_x then he shared with us this poem about being contented then I realised how lucky we are to be alive and healthy how fortunate we are to be able to have this once in a lifetime experience :DD
ohoh I have to apologise to Kaixuan again for putting up with my malu-ness and slow-nessxP sorry~! I know my reaction is getting slower and slower I'm like that when I'm tired =(
then we went trekking! my father used to boast to me about him carrying a 10kg bag trekking for dunno how long in NS then I would gaze at him with wonderment and awe O___O now I can proudly tell him that his daughter carried a 10kg+++ bag and trekked for 6 hours! x__x
wow nearly wanted to give up cos the bag was so heavy and the road was quite bumpy :( thank you Shumin and Kaixuan for distracting me by gossiping about -ahems-! xDD Everybody was tired but we cheered each other on again! SO EFFECTIVE LA CHEERING ^^
I LOVE 308!
then we did celebration cooking all of us cooked food for the whole class! :DD suddenly everybody looked so housewifey and cookey I think our omelet and luncheon meat rawks la x) had a pretty good time eating thank you Gahyarn and your grp members for the fried rice!!! x3
OBS is like... you really want to go home in the process it's challenging and mentally+physically tiring :O but at the end of the day when we all go home you will look back and realise wow I actually did this and did that! XD and you will realise that you have become a stronger person
AHAHAHAHA (Zhiwei's version of laughing) I think our instructors are lame like DIAOOOOOO lor :P! they kept cheating our feelings okay esp. the stories about the Pulau Ubin crocodiles and another one about a Malay woman =.=ll but some of the stories are really inspirational and nice and thought-provoking... LIKE DUHHHHH xD!
I want to thank alot of people! =DD thank you~ Gahyarn for always joking and laughing with me Samantha for your very encouraging smile Kaixuan for your nice nice company Puilin for your insect repellent that reduced the no. of bites I have Wendi for being so cooperative and kind Haoqing and Minghui for always amusing and entertaining me Shumin for being so motherly Woonyee for being willing to collect our biodegradable and non-biodegradable rubbish HsiuYi for digging out the baked bean gravy with me Weihui and Chiaying for scrubbing the camp bags with me Liyang for chatting with me Vanessa Chan for being such a responsible time keeper Jiaxing for being a hardworking kayaking partner and many many others for being so ROCK! :DDDDD
Dearest Yilin, may your sunburn recover soon! Don't get chao da-ed! :D
in the road ahead we will definitely face more challenges and difficulties but as long as we tackle them tgt as a class I'm sure we will be able to overcome them! ^^ GO 308!!!
