outward bound singapore 2009

OBS was AWEZOME!


I was away for Outward Bound Singapore 9th to 13th November.
You know what, it was an AWESOMELY WICKEDLY GOOD FUN!
Imma sound like some data shit here, bare with me, cracking my tummy laughing every hour was really worth it.
(post gonna be REALLY long)

Team : Columbus [Group 9]
Intsructor: Ann

Day 1.
Sch was really pathetic. I swear,it's really budget to even pay the bus driver to sent us in the OBS meeting point.
What retard my mates most was that other sch buses sent them IN & it was drizzling for crying out loud!
We suffered walking under the drizzle.
Okay, settled and split into groups. HAHAH! I was with Benjamin Ong, Mathaeus (is that how you spelled it!?) & Yi Ru.
Funny thing, Raudhah (my childhood friend; a.k.a HAHA! girl) got into OBS with me and got in the same group as me!
Awezome or what =D
Well, 15 mins boat ride to Pulau Ubin for the real thing.
Most of us were like "woah, damn boring, i want to go home & sleep. waste of time comin"
Stupid thing to say firstly - but - everything was great.
Get to know the members & there we go, ransacking every corner of the store.
Getting stuffs out in advance for the hikings and sorts.
Bread Bun + Apple + (Swimming Pool taste-like) water = Lunch
Sun-down, we manage to get the whoel team together =D
Well, some bitch~ness there is, problems appear. You know the 'Girls Stuff'
Pitched up tents and did camping style cooking.
Rice + Tuna + Tin Peanuts = Dinner
I've never eaten tuna. Kinda, dislike the taste of it, soo i have to force myself to atleast have smtg decent for once in campsite.
Night was HILARIOUS! I swear!
With Benjaming Ong, Jeremy & Qing Wei in the team and having them to share the same tent, was effing funny.
There's Brian snoring for Raudhah to sleep & there's moaning alarm sound by Jeremy.
COOL OR WHAT! We got a way to sleep and a way to wake up.
HAHAH!

Day 2.
Actually, i ALWAYS wake up every 20 mins whenever i sleep. Soo it soo happen for the girls in my tent (Yi Ru, Raudhah & Me) to wake up and was FULLY awake by Jeremy's moaning alarm clock xD
Breakfast was bun still & then we got packing for our hiking trip into the forest.
We have to bring at least 2 bottles (supplied by OBS) each people which weighs abt 2 kg each.
Since we have to play fair, Yi Ru carry the tent, Raudhah & Me carry personal stuffs and Yi Ru''s belongings being split up.
I have to carry Yi Ru's bottle & mine. that means... 8 kg plus stuffs, that weighs a killer. Equalized tooooo 20 plus plus.
I feel like i can't grow anymore.
Okay afternoon, there's tri yaking(three people kayak); capsizing & then climbing.
It wasn't normal for me bcs i didn't have the shoes to climb & chalk.
& I have to wear my NEWLY bought running shoes. *blueeeh*
Yeah, soooooo, climbing was fun though i suffered blisters. BUT WORTH IT!
Qing Wei called my name. The sound that he made out of it was DAMN SICK i tell you.
Tried the killer wall which was an epic failure. Only manage to climb a lil above the red line =.= (what a climber)
Then we started HIKING!!!!! Fuuuuuuh, it was almost sun down & i couldn't carry the bag.
Suriya helped carry my bag on my back while Ben & Yi Ru pulled me up at the same time.
Climbing up was a nightmare, i was swimming in my own sweat! Steep steps & bag was a huge burden.
Have to bare with it still though =/
Reached top campsite, dinner was Instant Noodles. My team was extremely FUN.
Ben.Ong started singing followed by the rest : Tong Hua was the main.
Tent pitching was fun & ghost story with Eileen, Raudhah, Mat, Ben, Qing Wei, Suriya, Sharjun, Brian & Wesly. HAHAHA!
To cut short: Me, Yi Ru & Raudhah suffered the night by having to sleep in a slunted position - Heads down, legs up -.-
Brian snores again, all of us laughed, Raudhah slept, i woke up every 20 mins.
It goes on & on.

Day 3.
Hiked down to an open space and back to camp 2.
Refilled up water and hardcore hiking begins. Water loads passed to the guys, carried Jeremy's bottle insted (not that heavy uh).
Walked, pause, walk, pause, walk, pause, i was pissed, walk, pause... AH-GAIN!
Chatted along the way with Jeremy, S, Eileen, YiRu.. The drills were funney.
Hazirah was down and we have to miss a point.
Went to the highest mountain and achoed alot! =DDD Fun!
Down and went to the beach to pitch up tents.
Yeah, THANKS QING WEI for asking me to cook the noodles. How i hate cooking.
Well, it was a success and he gave me motivations somehow. Thanks Qing Wei.
It's just that i wanna hear fully of what he was abt to say before it was being RUDELY interrupted with negative comments.
Hey, but i think i did manage to do my best though it was INSTANT NOODLES =)
Sleeping at night was hectic fun with the sea breeze blowing into our tents.
Packed up for 9 straight hours of Tri-Yaking the next day.

Day 4.
Switched places with Sharjun & Hazirah. Me, Benjamin & Raudhah in the same boat.
FUNNY to have in with us. Since he is one of those who have to lead or smtg like that.
9 HOURS OF TRI YAKING. Shag as we may but have to continue rowing.
We all were wearing long sleeve, those really unlucky who rolled up thier pants have OBVIOUS tan lines.
Well, mine's quite obvious behind the palm there x)
Okay, we had a stop and i have to pee, i went down and it took me FREAKING few minutes to PEEE!!!!
URRGGGGH, my bladder can hold that long uh!
Right, wanted to go back up the Tri Yak, 1 jump attempt - Failed, 2 jump attempt - Failed, abt to do the 3 jump attempt - FREAKING FISH WENT INTO MY FREAKING PANTS!!
PERVERTO FISH! I have to grab the fish and let go off it...
I feel BADLY molested i swear.
While paddling, me & Raudhah actually saw condom floating and (i think) Raudhah throw it back without realizing.
Suddenly both of us have the same mindset & we went "OMG! Was that CONDOM!?!"
Effing funny lah. Nicholas found a headless fish floating and he tried making the fish fly to Bella. xD Flying Fish landed back at the back of his boat.
Smelly he said. It's dead and rotten.
Funnneyyyy!!!!!
Paddle paddle paddle paddle, we hit our SPOT! V.I.C.T.O.R.Y.
Washed up all the necessities && settle to unpack again for the very last night.
Dinner was a celebration for us. My team were rushing for the 'G.O.H' person.
Cooking like siao. Rice below was badly burnt, Oh-Wellzah.
Slept up the open area =) Hazirah slept in my tent while Yi Ru accidentally fall asleep in Cheryl's tent.
No snoring that night but we were dead beat soo we slept early.

Day 5.
Woke up, changed, cleaned up. Wasn't in the mood to clean but i was in the mood of spending time playing my arse off since it's the last day!
Left over foods were given away... Received certs & sorts.
There's this jump thingy. Where we have to jump and aim high to hit the bell and everyone would be using a so-called mat to supprt while landing.
I have 'bathophobia ' fear of falling. Soo i hesitated and i made my jump.
Since OBS also means overcoming every obstacles and fears, i gave my very best shot.
Scary! I swear, even in Bouldering i won't jump down, i'll most likely to climb back down.
Before departing Pulau Ubin, Ins. Dayah gave a speech, i was holding back my tears.
I wanted to sooo badly hug everyone in my team!
They are LOVELY PEOPLE!
Miss my childhood Raudhah, Crazy part of Ben, Big Bully Qing Wei, Horney alarm clock Jeremy, Snoring Brian, Helpful Charmaine & Suriya, & awesome Columbus!
Departed, reached Singapore. It was raining and ALL OF US GYSS students end up cursing the school for not sending a bus to pick us up.
We live in FREAKING CENTRAL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
but 82 to some bus stop and 88 to AMK hub.
I crap like mad in the bus, i sang, i dance sitting down, i was hyped up drunk.
Amk hub, chloe left, Me Hui Min Tiff & Yi Ru KFC-ed.
Decent food, not like it but i was drenched in my own world, sooo i have to atleast have a proper taste of chiken. Hey, i did not eat chicken for the past 2 months okay.
I swear i laughed with Tiff till my mouth expand.
Homed with Tiff =)
& reached home, change, sleep, pray (for another oBS with the same people or maybe MORE NEW PEOPLE!) & off for a late night party & home.

Today i just had my DB training, and hardcore. Jia Wei was my partner, i swear imma kill him if he paddle like some bimbo for the Hard 10 part. HAHAH!
