Oh my God, oh my God.
OH MY GAWD, I AM BACK FROM OUTWARD BOUND! (:
I miss DotA soooo much.
I thought OBS was supposed to help people to slim down but I realised it isn't so! Ahhhhhh.
The food at OBS were over my expectations. Even the food rations for the sea and land expeditions! I was practically eating every chance I had, it's no wonder I got fatter. -.-
It is now after that I've gone trough OBS that I realised how right everyone who has been telling me OBS is fun was. I was very tired of the whole camping thing on the first day. All I could think of was going home! But slowly things began to get interesting. (:
Went for kayaking and high elements on Tuesday.
Completed 2 elements with Tommy and felt so happy! It was the second day I knew Tommy, actually, that was the first day I actually had a proper conversation with him. At first I just asked him if he wanted to do the high elements with me because I needed someone to do it with me. I was damn glad he agreed. The feeling of standing on top of the element and shouting "For Kurt" was so great that we chiong-ed another element in the last 10 minutes, and succeeded. WOOOO~
Third day, my watch, Kurt, set off to our campsite on boat. By ROWING the boat. My team of 8 people rowed for about 6 hours befoe we finally reached our camping gound. I love being out in the sea and just rowing the boat carefreely. (: Halfway through our journey, there was this HUGE thunderstorm and everyone had to row furiously to the nearest wall and grab onto the ropes. One of my group members, Gordon was shivering like crazy, as if he was possessed by a ghost or something like that. JiaYing shouted and Tommy and I rushed from the back of the boat to the front of the boat to hug Gordon. Give him warmth, you see. Gordon kept vomiting even after the rain had stop though. Damn scary.
After the sea expedition, was the land expedition. The bloody land expedition which caused me to have 2 great blisters on my toes. The backpack was heavy, the road was rocky and everyone was tired. Belinda (our instructor) said that she was quite disappointed with us when we had reached the campsite as we were not really motivated during the whole day. I felt so bad and guilty. ): But oh well, dinner by the sea was great. MAGGIE MEE. XiaoMei can cook such YUMMYYUMYUM maggie mee!
What I really enjoyed was the scenary. There were so many many many stars that would never ever appear in Singapore. The sea was prettypretty and opposite us was Singapore. I could see the HDB flats and the lights in every house. I was lying on the rocks there and staring out at the night sky, thinking of my God. (See, see YouXu! I got think about you!) Lol.
And so the last day of OBS is today. We woke up very early to pack things up and rushed back to the OBS building. Happy happy.
All I can say is that I've learnt a lot from this camp. I've learnt things from Belinda and from my watch mates. I learnt how to appreciate the simple things around me now more and nothing can replace simplicity.
I'll miss everyone from KURT.
Jason, JiaYing, Maurice, Tommy, Sandy, Dahpne, ChiouTong, WeiTing, Shaf, Elliotz, Gordon, Kevin, Joevan, SzeHao and XiaoMei I LOVE YOU GUYS!! (:
