hey back (few days ago, from obs)

friends have been bugging me to post about obs (in details) cus my typical answer was "fun but tiring/challenging". pretty lazy answers when they asked me how was it. really, my bad.

day 1 (monday)
i'll start from reaching the reg pt ya. saw some friends from other schools who were in the same course as me. my watch consisted of the softballers, volleyballers and table tennis players. we= RALEIGH watch 14 :) played some icebreakers, like Zoom Zap Zarm, Harry and One Dot, pretty simple yet fun 8) we were quite quiet and kept to ourselves. It took us around ten minutes to get to the island. upon reaching, we headed towards camp 2. a tour around the place then visited our watch store. no one volunteered to be the store i/c at first (shy) so oh yeah our instructor was mei sze, she got rather annoyed so she told us a story about everybody somebody anybody and nobody. so no choice somebody had to pick up the key. hate this part, we had to surrender our mobiles cash medication tidbits... blah..bla..bl... so long as they defy the principle of getting back to basics -.- well surprising it didn't take me long to recover from the absence of my phone. everyone coped well. then we got our food, super lots of food, i mean a mountain of food. but it is supposed to last you for five days. jing yi ming hui sara and i were the food i/cs, nothing much to do, just had to distribute the food and check the stocks. all were carbo food. after all that distributing, we climbed 101 steps on the 'staircase to heaven', call it staircase to unknown. okay the place is not too bad, it was where we gonna pitch our tents and sleep that night. then we did trustfall and belaying. after which, dinner time! it's the first time i ever did outdoor cooking. we were all hungry, i scrutinised everyone's expression and they all say i'll be satisfied with any kind of food right now. haha so can food became all delicious heaven meal. cleared up then went down to get the tents. climbed back up to pitch then sleep. wait i mean tried to sleep, then lucky people slept like a log, i was to last to doze off. it was so stuffy and hot. that was first day.

day 2
woke up at 5+ around 530, heard conversations so we guessed it was time already. did not brush teeth, did not wash face. headed to pt straight. stupid pt, freaked us out cus we thought it was gonna be those we always do, but it turned out to be some games and exercises only. but it was enough to make us feel tired cus we woke up so early. vast difference between the time we wake up during holidays. late risers were all complaining hahaha. the first activity of the day was a height element- high tight ropes. we paired up, i was with eleanor. we were the first pair to go, so it was kind of exciting and scary at the same time. like we didn't know what we should not do. the ropes are high up, they are placed increasingly further apart so we had to lean towards each other more. we started out facing each other (duh) then we pressed our hands onto each other's and tried to take the first step out which seemed so impossible. but after some encouragement from our dearest watch we managed to get our nerves up and started moving. our legs, inevitaby, began to tremble alot alot and you just can't stop it. eleanor was calm, me, on the other hand, was screaming like nothing, screaming my lungs out, cus all i could do was converting fear to screams. i can't turn back right. so we proceeded, then huh halfway we cmi already. haha mei sze called us 'the screaming pair'. then other pairs tried too, they seemed pretty okay about it, like no worries. oh yeah so funny, when jean and jingyi was in the midst of doing it, on the ropes, mei sze wanted sara the belayer to move back 2 steps. but she mixed jean and sara up. she was like 'jean, move two steps back.' jean was all shocked. then mei sze realised she called sara by the wrong name and she said "luckily jean doesn't listen to every piece of my instruction" hahaha. oh jean is so accident prone by the way. she can get injuries in ways that are out of your imagination even. HAHA. then we went to kayak. carried the heavy kayaks down and helped tenzing. mei sze called it luv luv so luv luv we helped our buddy watch. were already exhausted before the pre kayak lesson. then FINALLY, we got into the water and we had to purposely capsize the kayak. again, i was with eleanor. then she came out from the wrong side (left) after capsizing when we agreed to come out from the right. haha so we had to do it again, omg i couldn't capsize properly anyway, always ending sucking in loads of salty shit. we ventured out further into the deeper sea and had to capsize there which was kind of scary because we don't trust your lifevest fully yet. okay but anyway everyone had to do it so better to get it quickly done and over with. and this time it didn't turn out too bad. both of us felt better at it. TX rescue is cool, it's like we have to form this right angle to the kayak which has capsized.pretty fun doing it. wow when we got out of the water, it was so so cold. went for quick showers then we set off to the place we had our second night. trekked for 45 minutes (?) till we reached. same thing cooked then bedtime. oh yeah stupid enough we had duties to do: guard the place?! luckily my shift was relatively early like 2330 till twelve. if i had those 3-4 time slot i might as well not sleep at all.

day 3
Land Expedition. morning started off with games to warm ourselves up then lesson on navigation. oh we had to play this stone thing to decide which watch could go off first. kept dropping it until jean's powerful 'let's believe' it's like woah sign of hope, a ray appeared (HAHA) then we really managed to complete it. jean and i were the navigators, we were heading towards the first checkpt which chek jawa. the haversacks were heavy i think 10 plus kg? some of us carried tents, some personal belongings of a few people, can food, tins etc. which added up to the whole horrible episode of trekking. both of us were so worried everytime we met fork splits. hard to decide. so we kept checking, constantly reminding ourselves not to lead the watch to wrong way. super stressful. woo but it soon became much better after a few right choice of paths. we were quite fast at first according to mei sze. but after sometime some couldn't tahan so we took more and longer rests. we slowed down so much that even nila utama (the chinese dancers' watch) caught up with us. jean and i were actually not very tired, i think it's because we were in front of everyone and were quite eager to find out if we had taken the correct path. the two of us were very guilty because our pace was too fast and the rest kept asking us to slow down. so sorry. yeah sadly, we didn't manage to reach chek j so we targeted to reach a hut (couldn't remember what it's called), where we had our lunch. the next destination after lunch was camp 1 reservoir. this time round, mei sze wanted a new pair to learn to navigate. new navigators were lauren and jing yi. aiyo tai tai (lauren) couldn't catch any balls at navigating at first but also became an expert after the whole expedition. some of us had abrasions!!! ): finally we reached the stupid reservoir where we could really rest. some instruction for sea expendition on the next day then we could start cooking pitching sleeping and yes no more duty!!!! haha omg i flooded the whole damn tent with prickly heat. i was the first to powder bath in our tent so the rest could choke in my powerful powder air haha. oh btw i shared tent with teammates :) gossiped (^^v) then slept. guess what time we had to wake up on that thursday morning, 430!!!!!!!!!

day 4
Sea Expendition. wow you would call it the most memorable day in your whole OBS experience/ life. our mobile (Camp 2 Delta) consisted of 4 watches: Nila Utama, Raffles, Raleigh and Tenzing. Began with a morning circle, everyone would come up with a wish like "no sun", " safe journey", "endurance" b,b,b. then first kayak went into water at about 8? i partnered eleanor. she was the navigator, i sat behind her. it was tough at first cus we were't sure about where to go first. then we kept having to stop to wait for the rest. we were already lagging behind time and our speed wasn't good at all. then i swapped with xing ying and paired up with jie yi. we had such a hard time trying to change the direction of our kayak. from left to right, and also right to left. so basically we kayaked in a very zig zag manner. we were so so tired but we cheered each other on and we felt more energetic. i didn't really know jie yi well at first, but now i really think she's an amazing person to be/ work with. she was so nice, offer sunblock to me every 30 minutes and got the food i wanted for me and so much more. but our style was really weird, we could be the front few and back few as well. the sea water made my abrasions super painful and the pfd create even more on my neck and hip. it was tortuous. but no no don't think you can stop and not do anything, your will just drift back. at one point of time, we were so so tired that we lagged behind so much. we had to swap partners. new partner was minqhee! she had so much energy man. i could lax abit but i didn't k so i'm not guilty of that. previously, i dropped my cap into the sea but someone found it back for me, then when i peeled the orange it slipped out of my hands, but it still tasted the same ^^ haha you must be thinking how disgusting that might be but you won't really care if you were in that situation. the expendition seemed never-ending i promise. fyi our mobile kayaked for 9 hours and 15 minutes and it was around the whole of palau ubin. from camp 2 back to camp 2, exactly one full round. approximately 20 km. when we landed, i wanted to have a nice shower so much (especially when our last shower was day 2 noon!) but then we needed to place all the kayaks back and have a debrief before we were dismissed. after we could back to our stores, everyone okay most just grabbed their stuff and dashed to the toilet. it was so packed. supposed to meet at 1945 but ended up an hour plus late cus the queue was so long. mei sze got quite mad at us cus of punctuality problems. woo then we celebratory dinner, quite a considerably good meal, eggs, veg, more can food. hahaha. the rice we cooked was bad omg, totally zz. haha but some kind guys gave us their extra can food so we had more to cover up the loss of rice. hehe that night was good, no major worries for the next day, slept at a grass field beside the kayak store. last time we got to pitch a tent at obs, but we won't miss it. slept soundly :)

day 5
such an emotional day. all we did that morning was packing up (both store and our own stuff) and then gather as a watch for the last time ): did lots of sharing then we each got a piece of cotton twine that symbolizes the whole obs episode, happiness, sadness, whatever mixed feelings. some of us even starting tearing. si min so funny talk laugh cry at the same time hehe. mei sze told us MORE stories. somehow she knew we got something against her stories haha. telepathy huhhh. we got our photos and certificate. haha mei sze gave us someone else's cert and made us present it to that person. jean initiated more group photos with mei sze :) then we went for final debrief. surprising it wasn't too long and then ny got to leave the place first, how cool. within like 10 minutes, we reached back to reg pt. then we all headed to the souvenir store. got a tee. wanted two but some didn't have my size. some crazy dudes got like 4/5? DEAREST MR CHIA SONG YUAN WAS LATE. thanks.
got back to school, cabbed home. slept at home until night time.

all in all, obs is really meaningful despite all the complaints you might have. i love my watch too, Raleigh forever!
Joy, Lauren, JingYi, Jean, MingHui, YingHui, Eleanor, Sara, Mq, SiMin, Lynn, ZhiYun, HuiYi, MEISZE (has fb)!
(L) (L) (L) (L) (L)

take a look at jean's description kind of hilarious:

"To sum up the trekking, kayaking, prickly heat flood, getting scolded forever, forever late, tents, lost tent bag, eating from can, burnt rice, screaming on high rope, laughing, crying, singing..

Here we are,

Minghui (super "cute"),
Yinghui (curly friend),
Joy ("entertainment" kao, joy, you own..),
Lauren (Taitai! Bring your camera to OBS somemore), Jingyi (Itchy back, and thanks for the best thing you do in the tent, YOU KNOW WHAT OK!),
Simin (burnt like tomato, smile like angel hehe),
Zhiyun (Helping with all the small bits),
Minqhee (THE MONKEY HAHAHA),
Eleanor (Tall omg -.- best leader!),
Sara (pokerface,talks with the same face everytime), Yiyuan (navigating friend, stress together! flooded the tent with prickly heat),
Huiyi (very gentle one hehe),
Lynn (imba cook)
and me (ability to trip over everything and nothing!)
Meisze (whose name up to date i still can't pronounce properly, and her stories and.. her scary aura.)

(told you she is Miss Accident- Prone HAHA)
came back from obs with: sprained ankle, sprained wrist, swollen fingers, peeling skin, cuts at my wrist, cuts on my finger, and a bleeding back that i didn't even know of, and of course, a new mentality. ..so much for not being miss accident."

Happy (*Belated) Birthday Chu Ning!
150509 was your day! your 15th birthday :)
here's my dedication for you, i've known you for like 9 years?
i can't actually believe it :o
from classmate of 1C till now though we weren't close then haha.
there's too much i want to say that i can't possibly type it all out here, it'll be loooong to summarise 9 years into this simple post.
we've been through alot together, ( and there's more to come for sure)
not forgetting all the crap, all the laughter, silly lame jokes/ nicknames.
you've always been there for me, thanks alot!
hope we'll strive for the best in the next volleyball season as a team and get really awesome results ^^ so YES once again happy birthday and i sincerely apologise for the late wish. oh yeah you'll like your present for sure and that's late too i just realised! but it's worth the wait :)

xoxo xxxxxx

i didn't go to school yesterday cus of serious backache and i wasn't feeling well also. i'm really hoping that someone (that nana) will not suspect that i pon school. joined sher sara eleanor mz and mq at marina square at 3 plus. at 5 plus/ 6 plus, we still couldn't find anything suitable. then sher mz and mq had to leave so the rest of us continued the search. we walked towards the mrt and tried to find along the way but nothing caught our eyes.
then it was time for sara and i to go and meet up with belle and janessa so we left raffles city. eleanor was waiting for her friend(s) at raffles city so she stayed there. headed to dhoby ghaut mrt, but the two were still stuck in a cab on the highway, so we went on searching at plaza singapura, we finally found something cute. not going to tell what is it here, ask chu ning on monday :)

oh yeah then sara left for vivo (she was supposed to be with us to go somewhere!)
belle janessa and i took mrt to little india, where i suspect i dropped my vest!!!, that vest is so important to me, really frustrated by myself for not taking care of it. okay argh fine, took a cab to whampoa market cus belle kept complaining how hungry she was. she bought kuay chup and shared rojak with me, and she loves wasting food, kept telling her not to! after the meal, belle went home, she didn't even say a proper goodbye and just rushed off after apologising to janessa weird right. janessa came to my house, connection problem so no computer usage. took out sara's camera and started taking photos. some nice photos but there are some really unflattering ones as well :o

today! went to janessa's church (queenstown baptist church). okay it was fun haha, everyone was cool. there was this girl, elisse if i'm not wrong who knows alot of my friends. she knows mj too HAHA. got slightly inspired and motivated by the movies we watched, amazing.
vivo after church, got some starbucks takeaway then headed to the topfloor outdoors. we lied down beside the water and enjoyed the breeze. i wanted to stay there longer but i couldn't. went off at 8 plus.




i'll upload more on fb tmrw if i've got time.

bye nights everyone.

janessa asked him for s*x thrice.

woke up early today for chemistry project

shaian belle glenda came my place at 10+ started doing some stuff but most of it is not productive.
we're supposed to make a chem e-car, deadline to complete the whole model is 20th and we haven't started!!!!
belle drew a shark for our e-car design. " the shark needs braces", quote from shaian haha nice one :)
then we starting snacking and drinking up soft drinks to use the plastic bottles for experiment.
kkk then sara came!
anyway belle was being such a nuisance on im and made someone flare up with her 'awesomeness'.
glenda and belle went chasing shaian and i, trying to dirty us with baking soda. GROSS.
we went downstairs three separate times to get our materials.

so these are the reactions we've tried:

vinegar + baking soda (1)

coke + mentos (3)

toilet cleaning agent (with HCl contents) + baking soda (2)

bleach + baking soda (4)

the numbers beside the reactions are their rankings, coke and mentos was a total failure!
heard diet coke would produce better results. YESSS DIET COKE!
the last one = nothing at all.

conclusion: wasted alot of food!!!!!! (30+ mentos??, 1.5 litres of coke....) and nothing accomplished.
we'll try again another day.

that's all bye ^^
