the longest post ever...
here it goes
5 days ago, i went to take bus to go to obs
i really wanted to go home
dun feel like going. when i reach there, i feel excited however,
my watch grp members feel so interesting
and they look so much fun
so yeah i was quite interested, during the day
we did high elements like rock climbing so damn fun lol
and then we learn to pitch tents haha first time i cook !!!
so we ate and sleep in tents
i am so tired that i fell asleep immediately
the floor is quite strong
so not much bugs
wohoo so fun...
second day
went for kayaking
well capsize drill isnt that hard quite easy maybe becos i have short legs
the moment i capsize into the water,i came out of the kayak immediately before i even tried to take my legs out.
only the bad part is i drink a whole mouthful of saltwater thru my mouth and nose
yucks!
ok then finally we went kayaking, i gt to partnered one of my grp mate,ghaffar
i was such a dumbo
i did not know how to use the paddle and i dont know which direction to go
lol and he have to guide me along
so SORRY
THANK YOU
lol
so we kayak to the next camp site
ok that wasnt bad
then we went to the other headquarter of obs in pulau ubin
wah thats gd
we gt dinner and we dun have to cook for it
wohhoooo
so so niceeeeeeeeeee
the tent was horrible
soooooo many mosquitoes and bugs
poor vann she gt bitten so much...
i wasnt actually much left intact
i also got bitten
so so itchy
i did not bathe that day
ohhhthat feeling was so horrible
i feel so disgusting
then went back to sleep
third day
went for sea expedition
kayaking for 8 hrs
thid time partner with rendy
so sorry i think i gav him a lot of trouble too
lol
my whole face was sun burned all turn red
my legs and hands all red
damn damn stupid me for not bringing cap
so after so much kayaking i reached third campsite
wah so tired
pitch tents ccok instant noodles
woohooo fun
finally time to sleep
cos i am damn tired
but dis time the rocks were big and hurts my back
but still i sleep
but i keep waking up in the end
cos i cant seem to sleep
i gt tons of mosquitoes bites sandfly bites
i heard stray dogs barking
i am so scared
so scared that the dogs would came into our tents
whats more worrying is that i cant bathe after being in water after kayaking
then fourth day
we went trekking
my god the backpack is damn heavy
is like took up my whole space
i cant even walk straight
lol
i ended up walking slanted
lol
and almost ended up falling down
scary
i felt so tired
wah my whole self felt like breaking down
but however i persevere on
i dont wan to give up just like that
i dont want to endure so much and then give up now
i believe that when the tough gets going, the going gets tough
what matters most is not to give up when the going gets tough
team work really motivates people
i feel so energised trekking with my watch grp
i was so looking forward to going home at that time
but now as i am at home and just now while taking the ferry home to punggol jetty
i miss obs so much
i miss my watch grp
i miss a lot of things
haiz
i didnt realised how much i missed obs
i wished there is a second time
haha
ok i need to go sleep
oh yah one of the story my instructor told me
a pencil is like a person
first a pencil can write on any surfaces every person can influence others
second a pencil mark can be erased, one's mistake can be slowly forgotten
third a pencil does not matters whether it is pretty or not , it matters most that the inside the lead is hard , a person's apperance does not matters what matters most is the inside character.
