It's funny how two "enemies" can create such a great bond.

I am finally back from my OBS! From the 9th to the 13th of November 2009, 16 girls from PL inclding myself and others from various schools made our way to outward bound singapore. Reaching the tentage the girls from PL felt totally awkward as we lugged our damn humongous bags across. Looking at the small bags others brought we felt like total losers. Oh wells. One for all all for one. PL made their way to their lines. Taking our seats we decided to play some games as we waited and waited. Damn was it long. Started to play concentration and stuff as others looked at us like we were some aliens. Heck damn though. PL shall forever be the loudest and most united school in SG. Yea man! Finally received information about our campsite, Campsite TWO. Dun dun dun dun! Was shifted to our various groups an ended up in Magellan! Oh yeah. Got on the boat, and again PL makes the most noise. I guess we just can't help ourselves? Haha. So reached our destination, home for the next 5 days, Hallelujah!
-
Day One:

Getting introduced to our instructors and the boundaries and areas in camp one. It was a little awkward as PL stuck together not wanting to really mix with the rest. Apointed the various leaders and played a few ice breakers. Got out our food rations and sat down in a cirle eating Bread and biscuit. First day didn't do much. Only practied abseiling down a tree. So bah.
-
Day Two:

Kayaking time! Got into groups of tree as I grabbed Ali and Zhaomin! yay! Yupp we totally mingled and have broken the awkwardness. So learnt how to get back up if we capsized and had little miny races. Aftetr that took a bath and headed for Abseiling! Woah was it cool. Tiring though. VERY tiring. That was probably the first time the group talked alot. Due to the long waiting time. haha. The Marist boys' are hilarious. After that headed for our new campsite. As we trekked along the muddy floor we almost slipped! Finally reaching our destination started to cook. The best dinner for the whole camp! Pitching up the tents was a hassle. I hate doing that. The toilet was the freakiest though. In the middle of the forest! Yes, we did not bathe that night. Haha. Woke up in the morning and was introduced to out Land Expedition!
-
Day Three:

Land Expedition time! Damn was it tiring. Trekking for about, 8 hours? Damn was it tough. But we made it through! Perserved on all the way as one. That was basically it for the day. One thing i love about my group is that we're always singing! And it makes things so much easier. haha.

Day Four:

Sea expedition day! Pretty fun actually. I liked it anyways. Joined forces with Livingstone and we headed off to sea. Wanting to beat the currents and time we did our best rowing through the sea towards the river. Our team did great as we reached our chekpoint one hour earlier. Rowed through the river and sang our hearts out. This was when I made even more friends, Yan Yan, Dylan, David, haha, adorable to the max. Esp yan and DYlan. WIth esmer they three row row and sing sing. Haha. Lost their voices due to that. Haha. As we went through the low water areas Ali grabbed a paddle of Mud and started to throw damn around, it's pretty fun to play with. Reaching the end of our expedition we reached and finished all the washing at 12+pm, way before our estimated time of 3PM. Awesome.

Day Five:

A crazy day full of laughter and tears. As we cleared up the store and realised alot of things are missing we paid for a few. Than gather and recieved our belongings and certs from the insturtor. As we all sat under the shed as the last moments together ticked by. Then told that we would go back by schools and not by groups saying sayonara, tears stained our faces. Sighs. I really cried. It was a really sad moment. Hugging each and every member of the group and moving over to see our buddy group giving them hugs as well. Damn sad -.- So than went off back to SG. After that waited once again at the camp base area and took a last few photos and mingled abit more making friends with, Jevonse. After bought our souvenirs and than finally got to go home. Headed to Kovan macdonalds with the PL girls and a few Marist guys. Woah i'm never eating Macs after a camp where i just eat a slice of bread and a packet of biscuit everyday. very bad. Almost vomited.
