OBS: Magellan.

Hello. i'm at home now, I shall blog bout my OBS trip.


Day 1:
We were all very anxious about what watch we were going to be in and who was in our watch. I was nerve-wreckingly anxious because i would be very very anxious without my sitting partner/birthday partner/eating partner/problems sharing partner/best friend. And in the end she was one of the first few to get called out, she went to De Gama. Then after awhile everyone's name got called out. I was left around with Fangzi and Joanne, they were calling out for Magellan i remebered them call Sasha Long, Anna Chen, Tan Tingxi, Hadley Hung. Many names but soon Fangzi left myside following by Joanne and I was left sitting on that road with a few other girls but luckily my name got called out. Concluding a watch, Magellan. Consisting of, Anna, Fang Zi, Joanne, Ting Xi, Valerie, Sasha, Ying Jie, Hadley, Joan, Sofi, Yu Shan, Bao Hui, Revathy, Doren and myself. On the first day itself we had our pictures taken with our 2 instructors, Bibiana and Kenneth. We didn't do much actually just some trust falling and belaying. After that we had to cook, but the time we took to cook was well over an hour and thirty minutes and our instructor, Bibi was really really upset. Well i can't really remember but she was really upset cos she couldn't really control us and the next day we had to pack our haversacks and move to Camp1 really early.

Day 2:
We woke up at about 5 to unpitch our tents and pack our bags. when we were done we took off for camp 1 which was quite a horror cos walking is not my forte. we got there and we went kayaking. we all had to do life jacket test which was damn funny la. we all were floating in a ring and we had to put our head underwater but like nobody wanted to do it heh. so after that we had to do some capsizing thing. and we watched everyone capsize and sasha kept stalling time and everytime she was stalling the waves were perfect for capsizing. and finally when she decided to the waves were really bad everyone in the water was falling backwards. was hilarious la. ( starts to open a pack of OBS leftover brought home ) ( takes weight, finds out lost 2 kg :D ) and after that we went kayaking, like the real thing damnit! but there wasn't enough time so we just went to NINA BAY. it's actually a bad word if you get what i mean, and bibi kept calling it Bay of Nina while me, Sasha, Anna and Valerie were like, NINA BAY!!! after that we had like a race. the food on day2 was the best la. then after that we went to sleep.

Day 3:
On day 3, we had to set off for our land expedition. it was damn tiring considering the fact we were carrying so much things we had like alot of walking to do! we went to like the 3rd checkpoint, then there was a tombstone next to the checkpoint then when bibi told us that the tombstone of Mr. and Mrs. Tan, i was looking at Tingxi, and coincidentally she gave that kind of, are-you-for-real-you-must-be-kidding-face. It was damn hilarious la. i was like um-chioing. heh. we actually walked for about 5hrs with our at least 10kg bags. but we managed to get back to our new campsite which was like crap. we got back early so we could pitch tents and cook. it started raining not long, then we had to build a basha(sp?) and because not everyone can get under the basha, me, joanne and tingxi got under the basha to cook. plus joanne used the solid fuel to make the fire, but it's damn frigging smelly la. then me and tingxi were like choking. we got out of the basha and we were like coughing and things like that can taste the solid fuel la. damn gross. hmmm. then we had to get the jerry cans after that as tingxi was getting down the slope to the beach, the step on some hard rock or something. Sprained her ankle poor girl. my tent was damn frigging wet, had to share tent with other people, shared with yingjie, sofi, revathy and joan. was pretty cool talking to them, in the next tent was baohui, hadley, tingxi, yushan and mel and whatever joke i was telling in my tent you can hear baohui telling it after i told finish mine in my tent. then later baohui started shouting for me. but i didn't feel like respnding but they kept shouting, then mel shouted eh gwen tingxi calling you!! and then i heard tingxi shout, i never lor!! but wtf, i also didnt care. that baohui is damn annoying. then we went to sleep, and then it started raining at like 3.40am got up but then it wasn't too serious went back to sleep at 4.50 it started raining damn fucking heavily. wahh had to hold up the tent. and then later we all took our ponchos and decided to walk around, saw anna they all then we went carolling wearing our ponchos. we looked damn retarded.

Day 4:
day 4, we went like rafting in the quarry we build out raft which was quite odd. but amazingly, it could support the whole watch plus bibi! i got a wedgie while i was getting up. yeah we played around in the quarry as well. i dont like waterholes which are like damn deep la. i'll cry lor. then after that we trekked back to camp2 la.. me and valerie got abrasions at the groin. jeaneth's abrasion is damn bad la. then when we got back we had to do the high elements la. i didnt do, i was just an anchorman.. to lazy to climb the rock wall was thinking maybe tingxi would climb the rock wall but she said she was scared and anna was like eeeyer.. heh then later we had to cook our dinner as usual me, joanne and tingxi cooked again but then not enough water then went down to get. then anna and sasha came and help. anna got cut by a can then she was bleeding damn bad so i was the only one left upstairs i ate already then i came down, then i we had no key then i louise was going up so i asked louise to ask tingxi to bring down the key. so she came down we had to key, then anna and sasha also appeared then when just hung around downstairs, talked to ang-ila. then later hadley came down and she was damn pissed, but i dont care la i dont like her. then we were like all joking around la then i said something about our sister-hoot and valerie just burst out laughing and everyone was so cracked up even if you told a damn lame joke like yushan's you'd laugh. and yes everyone laughed.. fucking hilarious la. then we did abit of packing, scrubbing and all then we went to sleep.

Day 5:
which is today is the last day, we packed our whole store. took 3 over hours. bibi was angry again. we found out kenneth was actually singaporean and not hongky. i felt damn stupid for believing. hmmm then we had to go off already, bought 2 polo shirts 1 grey and 1 white i made my watch sign. but only 11 of them signed. not sure who didn't sign la. bibi and ang-ila signed for me! :D it's damn pretty.
