Woots back from OBS, im getting this mixed feeling though.
I was dying to get back, and now that im back
Im kinda missing the instructor and our watch
Our watch was simply ownage, with our very cool instructor Mario!
Haha it was simply cool, really cool.
Thank God my parents named me
Bryan because of that
I ended up in campsite 1 which was at least 4 times better than campsite 2.
So First Day,
Went to campsite 1, settled down into our dormitory
had catered lunch :D so glad we are in camp one
because camp 2 were spamming biscuits.
Next more packing and settling down
Then we had some belaying practice and trustfall
belaying practice was boring of course, but yea safety measures are important
especially we are doing rock climbing tomorrow with out watchmates being the belayer.
Then trust fall was like just falling back down standing from a height
with the others holding on to the canvas. Then we had to cook dinner
Yes outdoor cooking, our instructor 拥有 la
he was in fact a cooking instructor too, so he demo for us how to cook fried rice
which was tasty, coz we koped some.
then it was our turn to cook, it wasn't that bad with the canned food
which couldn't go way wrong and scrambled eggs
Again, the eggs were provided by our instructor. LOVELY.
the rice wasn't that nice but at least it was edible.
I would say our dinner was the best compared to the other watches.
Day 2.
Woke up on time for some really really really cannot walk Physical Training
It was really really really cannot walk.
then it was like giving ur watchmates some hi-5 here and there
and playing some even cannot walk game which i gave up on
We had to find a partner and then the loser will go do jumping jacks.
Me and Shirong was like super sian with that game until
I suggested we play scissors paper stone to see who be the loser.
And after applying my higher order thinking skills
my exceptionally high IQ
calculating the possibility of what he would put next
calculating the wind resistance which affects the possibility of him putting what next
and finally, applying some luck which accounted for 99% to the reason in which i won
yea so anyway, we went to kayak then Shi Rong DAMN LUCKY
as in SERIOUSLY LUCKY, he partnered the strongest guy in our watch.
Yea so we pulled out the kayaks and paddles with some slackers doing nothing
Then Me and Shirong went up on the kayak with me being at the back and him in front
Yea its those 2-man kayaks, so i was the steerer and he was the meng paddler one.
That time we was like damn lag like around the middle of the group.
we keep going off course
and it keeps going, really took a while before we had lunch which was some biscuits
it wasn't that bad la, and we continued kayaking back.
In all we were out in the sea for about 5 hours,
came back damn damn tired then everyone like tio sunburn damn badly
i escaped with really minor ones on my cheeks and nose.
Woo later in the evening we went for rock-climbing
damn tired already but managed to climb the to the top for the vertical one.
Then later go to the slanted one and got owned...
haha then later fingers damn pain, bend a little only then pain.
Like swollen liddat.
then had to pack for the sea expedition tomorrow.
Then i was like damn tired and slept.
Day 3.
Supposed to meet at 5:55am, but i woke up at 5:57 coz i was DAMN TIRED.
Haha anw reached the meeting point at bout 6:05 and still got people coming
haha see im not the only one.
carried some really heavy backpack they gave us, as in really heavy
and we had to trek for who knows how long, but it was really long
as in really really really really really really long, much longer then this post
but b4 that we need pacing, as in every 2 steps is one pace
then we walk 100m so later can estimate in the map where are we.
So when we started pacing,
i didn't even know that we were supposed to count our paces
so when we reached the 100m mark i was like
," oh right, we are supposed to count our steps"
so anyway, i wasn't the navigator
or anything more than a slacker following the group
carrying the really really heavy backpack
treking for a really really long distance to reach Camp Site 2.
And we had to find 3 checkpoints with wisdom quotes on it.
Luckily, our navigator was of pure 拥有age.
so everytime we stopped to find the quotes, we would find it.
So we reached campsite 2 and the other batch
which stayed at campsite 2 was complaining,
haha the place there was really pathetic, thats why i say,
Thank God my parents named me Bryan.
Anyway we were getting raped by the ants there, they meng bite us everywhere
EVERYWHERE your hands your legs your groin and every other part.
Somehow the insect repellent didn't work so i had to really spam.
Oh and btw i didn't bring my repellent so i just koped from others.
Then we had to build a raft which was a total failure.
At least we got to jump into the Quarry to swim and scrub a little for 10 mins.
That was the BOMB man, super shiok and cool.
Pitch tents and then go cook dinner.
Dinner was great... No it was not catered it was outdoor cooking again.
Haha it was great because it was instant noodles
Again, You couldn't go way wrong with that.
Oh then had to do sentry duty in the night, 10 o clock everyone had to return to their tents.
next morning 5 oclock must wake up.
Lucky our sentry duty is from 10.30-11.00, i really pity those whose sentry duty
are at like 2am. damn sad, wonder how they slept.
Anyway back to my beauty sleep, i never did woke up once after i slept at 11.
Was a really nice sleep, whee, morning woke up and moved the kayaks
AGAIN, got some slackers really never do anything, wah i damn pissed.
took like 45 mins to bring all the kayaks down and settled everything.
then me and shirong partnered again, but now i sitting infront.
Then it was rather ownage hahahaha, ok nvm kayaking was fun la
We reached campsite 1 in like 1hour, which was like 45mins earlier then expected.
Then the other instructors also stun tio. haha damn cool.
