woo!
past 5days OBS@UBIN.
it was superb i tell you.
best camp id ever been to.
mayb cos im with the ppl id spent my time with anyday.
and we hav ANDY as our instructor.
he's a real joke.
=DD
lyk they said.
it was a chance for many firt time experiences.
so day 1 was more of an intro to what we'd be doing for e nxt few days.
some icebreakers then lunch at the canteen.
we were told we're e lucky ones cos the rest at camp2 (other than the 5 watches at camp1) were havin dry ration while we hav cooked ones.
did belaying.
pitched our tents at e campsite beside the sea for the night.
it was freaking cold la.
was shivering all over.
and i was pretty hungry.
worst.
i needed to pee.
wanted to go hme alr.
day 2.
highlight was e high element height activity.
it was so fun.
really brought out our cls spirit.
everyone jus cvheering on each other altho we'd normally want to bite each other's heads off.
it was sooo high.
but when u get to the top,
the feeing was so satisfying.
even the fear u had when u were on the ground just looking up at it disappears.
its magic i tell u.
the trust u put in those belaying you.
the best part,
since its a duo,
i hav someone to share that experience with.
(curina, arent u honored?)
=))
had a basic kayaking crash course aft lunch.
was nth new to those who've done it before but we hav to cater to those who dont right.
packed all our stuff into the packpack provided with the stuff we need for the nxt few days cos we'd be leaving camp1.
left aft our first outdoor dinner.
maggi nv tasted so good.
hahah.
the camp ground tat night was so rocky.
but we all slpt lyk logs cos we were alr worn out.
day3.
weekiat n wensong were sent back as their not feeling well.
we were down to 13ppl.
hiked for hrs that day carring out havy bagpacks.
but the journey was great.
entertaining each other.
we went up some hill to look at the query.
e view was spectacular.
we reached our camp ground early that day.
so we slacked ard enjoying each other's company aft pitching up our tents.
when it turned dark,
the sky was breathtaking.
first time i see so many stars la.
i was touched by it ok.
had a briefing on our kayakin expedition the nxt day aft dinner.
had some laughs.
no bath that day.
ugh.
day4.
kayaking!!
wooo!!
best day.
9hrs straight!
paired with martin.
we were so high tat we still had energy aft 9hrs of paddling.
beat that.
hahaha
simply love that 9hrs with him la.
and that idiot made me cry before that la.
grr.
so anyways.
was alr in the waters before daybreak.
did capsizing cos my watch didnt complete the day before.
damn fun la.
now copsizing lyk no kick alr.
hahah
we got lost in some mangrove.
it was super confusing.
met with some dead ends.
and the obstacles was pretty togugh as a big group.
imagine havin to bring 30 over ppl and their kayaks from the water onto land, cross some dist and then back into the water.
it took us some time there.
on top of that.
we're paddling agains time.
or we'd be stuck in the mud for 6hrs if the tide becomes too low.
we were all cheerin when we finally saw the main waters la.
hahaha.
the tide was pretty strong out there.
we were travelling back and forth the group splashing ppl with water la.
and the backwash frm the passing boats.
so shiok!
hahaha.
we reached camp2 early!
did the jetty jump!!!
ahh!
so fun!!
hiked back to camp1 in the dark aft our last outdoor dinner.
was super shagged be then.
last day.
nth much left to do.
cleaned up and packed up everything.
debriefed and had some mass games aft lunch.
cudnt get our obs tee cos e store was closed alr.
we were all so bummed la.
so thats abt it.
