Sometimes we need some motivation.

Back from OBS camp! It was fun! :D. NEHRU ROCKS TTM! As well as Elizabeth! Loved both instructors! 5 days were totally awesome with them! :D. Although there were many times when we felt like giving up, but there were times where we shared our joys too :D

Day 1 of Camp :

-Woke up like super early!! 6am! To check my backpack once more to see if there're any missing items! It's a 5 day camp (:. Feeling very excited at that time. And I'm going with all my awesome friends (:. Realized that I did not bring Strepsils, so I went to the patrol station to get one before going to school! :D Reached school around 7.15?? Saw many infocomm members there as they have camp too! Was wishing good luck to all the Sec 4 seniors too :D. And then saw Randy, Daniel, Adeline, Farizah, Chermaine and the other people! :D. Then talked about many stuff! And I WANTED TO KILL RANDY (:. Inside secret, Can't tell why here ):. Anyway, then we talked about ________ on the bus to Punggol! And we made many jokes as well :D.

- Reached there, and we had to wait with all our belongings! Gosh, some of the other schools are noisy. And I thought that Eliza's eyes looked a BIT like Krista's ones. Gosh, looks like I have bad eyesight as the others disagreed with me :X. And then we made MANY more jokes with one another, including of spotting the girls that I was looking at. Daniel is so COOL :D We were talking and distracting one another! Haha (:. There were 20 groups, but Zhonghua only split to TWO (:. So we had much more companions :D. And then we met our instructors before heading to the jetty (:. Took a group photo before boarding the boats! :D. Quite cool eh?? :D However, we had to split ourselves up once more because there wasn't enough space in the boats! So Chermaine and Jessie went on first and the rest of the ZH people took the other boat :D.

- Arrived there! The place is like super big! And the sign about the guard dogs at night kinda creeped me out. That means a big fat NO to partying at other people's places. Sigh.. Anyway, had this briefing about OBS camp, saying that it will be mentally and physically tiring. After that, we kinda got into our own groups and made a circle! We first had to agree with the rules such as no BGFs in the campus and stuff. After that, we had to surrender all our personal belongings such as handphones, money, food etc. That signaled a big problem for our group : No alarms! D:. Anyway, we then had to make our own pledge and motto. Like how can be show leadership skills in this camp and what can we expect from it? Meanwhile, was munching on the twisties and sharing it around with ZH people and then to the rest as it had to be eaten right away or thrown D:. Sigh. Anyway, we took quite long to settle it as Bernard says that our answers are all TYS (Ten Year Series ) answers. Sigh, we then had to manage our daily ics and other leadership positions, in which Randy and I were the store ICs ^^.We had to keep the store key properly and ensure that the store is always locked when no one is around!

- After that, we played some games! One was Pirates Ahoy! It's like we had to do actions after some commands! :D. Totally fun! :D. But the ZH people kept sticking onto one another. Haha :D. So cool man! Totally improved the bonds between us :D

- Went to the canteen for our lunch! :D. Well, honestly. I thought it was horrible. Because I had high expectations of food ^^. But anyway, we had to wash our own plates and utensils, before queueing up to be served by the staff of the canteen! Didn't really talk much. We then washed our plates and utensils again before putting them back nicely in the locker! After that, we got our rations :D

- We then had to go to the store and do a store check to see whether all the items are well-conditioned and maintained before giving them to us for usage in the next few days (:. Everything was okay, except for some tent packs! Well, had to ensure that everyone left the room before locking it (: Before that, we put all our bags outside and the rations inside. Looks like we had to cook our own food :D. Haha, oh my terror.

- Proceeded to the precautions lessons! Had to learn how to wear a harness and I had great difficulty wearing one, as I've never seen one before in real life, let alone wearing it :D. LOL! Anyway, I have a great fear of heights! Sighh. And the harness needed to be tight, so i had to secure it extremely tightly! Anyway, wore the helmet ( it was too small for my head and I felt like suffocating. ) Went on with the pre-rock climbing experience! Since the instructors wanted groups of members from different schools, Yu Hang, Sam, Me and Hariff were together ^^. I like being the belayer! So slack but yet so important! Because I support the rope and if the climber falls, I'll be directly supporting his weight! I wasn't the climber for all 4 parts! :D. Isn't that great?? Gosh, anyway, I had a chance to be the dead weight, which is the second supporter of the weight incase the climber falls! :D. Then, I became the rope man, which controls the amount of rope the belayer can use! :D

- Went on with learning the parts of the kayak! Gosh, the parts of it makes me wanna... Faint? It's too complicated for me! All I remembered was the bow, which was the front of the kayak! Anyway, we learnt how to put on a kayak skirt! And then learnt all the safety precautions when kayaking! :D

- After that was dinner! Grr, but before that, guess where we'll be living? If you're thinking of dormitories and sleeping bags, you're way wrong! We live in tents! So cool right? 4 pax per tent! Hence, it meant that we're gonna unpitch and pitch our tents EVERY single day! Argh.. D:. But anyway, it's gonna be a brand new experience :D. So we learnt how to pitch our tents and then while we're doing it, Bernard helped us to cook our rice :DD. Haha! Bernard rocks! :D. So when we went back, the other groups just started to pitch their tents. For us, we're already started to cook our other dishes for the day. And oh yeah, we used mass tins to cook! And to prevent leaving stains on the tins, we had to use toothpaste! I know this sounds supremely disgusting, but that's what happened (:.

- We had BEANS! :D. And..I think sardines too????? Shared food with Daniel and Randy :D. Had quite little as i had like no appetite? Sighh. But we managed to finish the food on the mass tin! We then learnt how to wash the mass tin properly, instead of rinsing it with soap and water! Anyway, after that, we headed to the store to pack our stuff for the kayaking expedition! Totally sounds fun right? Yeah, but its like a 3D2N thing with NO toilets and that we had to pack our clothes into that small yellow dry bag ALONG with our tent stuffs and utensils. Sighh. It was like so hard, especially deciding what to bring. And Bernard was kinda pissed with me! Because I brought this giant bag.. Sigh, and then we still had to have this packet of snacks for our kayaking journey! And 4 litres of water?? Are you serious??! Sigh, then we went to bathe!! :D. Went along with Randy and Daniel! Okay, this sounds wrong.. But nothing happened okay (:. And since it was 4 people per tent, we bonded with Jeremy which was apparently from.. Yishun? I think xD. Went to bathe and brush our teeth! And then we proceeded back to the store and waited for everyone to leave since we had to lock it T.T.

- We then went to some place in the campsite to do some personal reflections! And that we had some firedrill which the whole group took extremely long to assemble!! But still, we managed to know who the headmaster was and that we had to go through this ceremony, which was to watch the lowering of the flags! Quite cool (:

- Went to the tent with a TORCHLIGHT because it was in some strange position in a forest! And it was like COMPLETELY DARK. There was no signs of light except for the moon D:. SUPER SCARY OKAY!! And we had to find our tent! :D. And i had to spray loads of mosquito repellent!! Haha, and i had to stick one Smiley face mosquito patch on my leg!! Haha, :D.

'Advanced Protection. Be 99.9% sure'. Kinda reminds me of Dettol! LOL.

Unfortunately, I couldn't really sleep D:. Maybe I was thinking about the stars! There were a few of them shining brightly in the nightsky! And is it me or the trees were glowing?? And I had a sudden thought of somebody, which made me like supremely emotional ._. Went to sleep after that, maybe tossing about a couple of times, before seeing Randy get up and stare into blank space like what I did before.

Anyway, Day 2 of Camp ! :D


- Woke up like super early? And a big Thank you to Iskanda who woke us up with his brilliant watch! :D. Took a long time to be crystal clear of what we were doing as it was still SUPER early in the morning T.T. Anyway, we went to unpitch our tent! And it took quite a while as we were not really used to it, and that the tent packs keep disconnecting! So it was quite hard to get them out in one piece!!


- Anyway, it was like my group's turn to raise the flag, so we had to assemble earlier. But we were kinda late for like 20 minutes? And bernard was quite angry. So, the instructors helped to put the flags into order and then we did the raising of flags ceremony! After that, Nehru and Elizabeth went to a separate area to conduct our morning activities! :D. Eliza and Bernard told us that we're gonna play 'Poison' which was something like catching in Sec 2!! :D. Where the catchers had to hold hands and stuff! Quite scary though, and the space was quite limited due to the boundaries ><. After everyone was caught, we had to do the DOMO DANCE :D. SO COOL! I love it :D.


- We then separated into our own groups, where we had our own briefings! :D. Bernard didn't really scold us, but we were kinda disappointed with ourselves! It was a leadership camp after all! Went back to our store to get our things prepared and on our way, we saw the other groups running around the parade square for morning exercise. That was when we knew that we were fortunate enough to have instructors like Eliza and Bernard (:


- Went back to the place where we played 'Poison', but only this time, we brought our water and yellow bags down. And we were then told to form a circle and did more reflections! Bernard left us alone to complete a worksheet! And we also discussed the seating arrangement for the kayak and decided that the arrangement would be one boy one girl! Haha, and I was paired with Chermaine :D.


- Walked to the kayaks and brought them down. Learnt how to hold and paddle with the paddler (?) And just realised that Chermaine had never kayaked before and that she doesnt know how to swim! It was like super scary! Anyway, we learnt how to wear the life vest and the SPRAY SKIRT! WOOTS. Super cool to see guys wearing spray skirts! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience :D. Anyway, it was time to do our water confidence test! So cool :D. But the sea was like.. VERY COLD ><. Then we went back up to push our kayaks to the sea so that we can do our test..


- It was our turn! And we paddled to the small boat, And paddled back.. AND THEN BERNARD FORCED US TO CAPSIZE!! D:. So sad. And we managed to get back up! :D. But as we paddled our way back, I accidentally hit Chermaine hard on the head with the paddler! So sorry ><. And Randy saw it and started to laugh! SADIST!


- Then went for round 2! With our spray skirts! Gosh, this time, I lost my specs, and i kinda fell onto the rocks and had some cuts here and there.. Sigh D:. Anyway, everything was in such a blur for me! And after us, we saw a JELLYFISH IN THE SEA! And we were like doing a CAPSIZING TEST?! OMG, so scary!!


- Headed for a short lunch which was a bun before going back to take our stuff and going for TEST 3! Which was to do it LIKE FAR FAR AWAY IN THE SEA! Quite scary! And as we paddled there, it was already drizzling slightly! Anyway, one boat by another, we had to capsize and try to get back up INCLUDING flipping the boat! Sighh. And the current was quite strong, drifting us further and further away D:. Hence, everyone started to grab each other's boats and paddlers to stick as a group :D Then heard that Randy and Ilynn's boat took some time to flip over! I guess it was the tide.. Sigh..


- It was our turn to capsize! And as i wanted to get back up, my shoes almost fell out! It was like super scary!! Anyway, we managed to flip the boat and I climbed up the boat first (:, usually desperate measures of course! Haha :D Anyway, then it started to rain T.T So we headed back to the campsite for some shelter :D. And we were like not done with the tests yet T.T


- Waited for sometime and talked to people :DDD haha, and then we went back to the kayaks after the storm! :D. Went to kayak all the way to an island in Punggol I think? xD. Was quite tiring as the current was quite strong! :D. But it was only a short journey to the island as the sun was setting soon ):.


- Went there and realised that the other groups had already arrived and we were the last D:. So that means that all the good spots for tents were somehow taken! D:. It was okay though, haha! We managed to get a suitable spot for our tent! Anyway, while collecting our yellow bags, we had to pass through this bridge which does not even have boundaries like railings or anything. It was just an elevated platform! It was super scary for us at first (:.


- Splitted up. Some of us went to pitch the tents, while the others ( mostly girls ) went to cook our dinner! It was curry chicken with tuna and other stuff! :D. Pitching tents was like still considered the HARDEST part of the camp because the tent packs keep disconnecting! And it was like super irritating! But we managed to overcome the challenge in the end (:.


- Went to eat our food! Randy and Daniel was already sharing and since I lost my specs, i couldnt see clearly at night! Jessie and Adeline were like helping me by telling me where are the rubbish bins and there's a rabbit hole too :D. SUPER COOL! :D. So I shared food with Jeremy! Haha :D. Quite cool! Didn't talk much with him! But i can sense the friendship that we've made :D. And then it was time to wash up! And thank goodness I brought one entire packet of disposable utenstils as they really help in the disposing part! Went to wash the mass tins, and a big THANK YOU TO FARIZAH AND ADELINE <3 as they lended us their soap to wash the mass tins! :D.


- After that, I planned to make the tent that we are living in become much much neater! So I was like putting the stuff to one side. As there was like a briefing about the kayaking expedition, I did not manage to complete settling the tent stuff. Anyway, we first had to undergo a briefing about the kayaking expedition, like the route etc. And then we picked our leaders! :D. GO AUDREY AND AIKO :D. And the instructors needed 30 minutes to brief them. Hence, the rest of us were listening to the other instructors. They decided to do their spot check of our camp etiquette! So Bernard borrowed my torchlight and we went to the area where all the groups cooked food. And it turned out that two groups were so called stealing Nehru's water bottles and that they did not tidy the area well. BUT NEHRU AND ELIZABETH WERE SAFE! So we went back to our tents to rest for a while, and I seized this opportunity to TIDY the tent! (:.


- It was time for the briefing and stuff, and we went back to the meeting and listened to the briefing. Proposed kayaking time : 8 h. I was like OH EM GEE~.


- And soon the briefing was over, and we went back to our tents to do our night stuff and then sleep. Well, since I did not have specs, I couldnt really see clearly. So I was somehow following Daniel and Randy as they are like my most trusted males in that camp :D!~ But I felt that i irritated them :X. Maybe I'm just thinking too much D:.


- Went to brush our teeths and then went straight to the tent to catch some rest. Couldnt really sleep at first. Maybe there was so many things inside my mind.. Thinking about personal stuff! D:. Then, i sit up and watched the sky. Haha. :D. And when I was sleepy, i went back to my sleeping position! XD. But I saw Randy waking up suddenly.. Maybe it wasn't just me who couldnt sleep :D.


- OH YEAH! I forgot to add this part! We had this sentry duty thing! Elizabeth took the first shift, and Nehru took the second shift! Quite cool (:. Went to sit on the bench and kinda talked to Daniel! :D. But it was quite tiring as it was SO late at night D:. So I followed Daniel around the campsite. After our shift, we had difficulty waking up the next shift because we did not even know where their tents were. But we managed to find out at the end! And they seemed reluctant to wake up D:


Day 3! :


- Woke up like super early! We decided not to brush teeth as we needed to unpitch our tents and stuff. Lucky I brought my torchlight! It was easier for us to unpitch the tent as we needed light! ( This kinda reminds me of Physics ).


- After that, we had breakfast!! :D But i didnt want to eat anything as i had no appetite. Well, Rachael forced me to eat biscuits though!! D:. Hahaha, and after that we carried the kayaks to the shore! :D. 8 hours of kayaking. That is like tremendous! After carrying, we formed this circle and we started to say our expectations for this expedition! But we had to sum it up to one word and it cannot be repeated! D:.


- After that, we went to our boats and applied sunblock! I was the first to enter the kayak! :D. And then it was Chermaine! :D. And we started to kayak! We met Adeline with Farizah along the way. And Adeline was looking SUPER professional with her shades. Haha! :D And then we started to kayak.. And kayak and kayak! Of course taking a short 5 minutes break after one hour of kayaking :D. We saw some jellyfishes! :D. Haha, to those who know what it means ^^.


- Was like super tired halfway. This expedition was like a physical and mental challenge to us. Chermaine and I were already on the brink of giving up. We had to use positive thinking and encouragement to spur one another on. And as we reached the end, there was a storm brewing up! D:. So we had to rush towards the shore and the current was so strong that it kept drifting us away from the destination D:. So we were like persevering! And there was this kayak with one male and female! They were like super nice and we kept talking non stop to each other! :D. Haha! :D AND HE KEEPS STEALING MY BISCUITS XD!


- Got off the kayak immediately upon reaching the shore. The storm had already arrived and we were pitching our tents. Instead of using the pins to support the flysheet, we decided to use rocks instead! To save time (:. After we were done, we decided to help Audrey's group in setting up the tent! :D.


- Stayed inside the tent for sometime. After the rain had subsided, we decided to find the toilet as some of us had THE CALL! It was like a super long walk! D:. But we found it in the end! And as we washed our hands, I noticed the water was yellow. Like literally. So i thought it might be the trick of the light as I could not see clearly until I saw the sign that stated that the water is not safe for drinking. Went outside and started to wash my wet rubber shoes :D.


- Went back and started to cook dinner. It was already like 5pm?? And the instructors wanted us to change into dry clothes so as to prevent ourselves from being ill after the storm. Dinner for that day : Instant noodles with Luncheon Meat and mushroom! :D. And Audrey was like super hyper as she likes eating Luncheon meat, but her parents doesnt allow. So she wanted all 4 cans to be opened, thinking that all of us like it too. But apparently, we don't D:.


- And as we were cooking the noodles, we realised that we ran out of solid fuel D:. So Elizabeth was kind enough to give us some solid fuel for cooking! Oh yeah, the temporary camp site was full of sandflies and ants! And we keep getting bitten by them D:. And there was this short rain despite the sunny weather. D:. So we took the rug and lifted it up to prevent the rain from entering the food :D. And we thought of an alternative solution. We could use bread for dinner too as we can easily put the food on to the bread and then eat it :D.


- I shared food with Randy this time. And we were like trying to ensure that the noodle does not drop onto the grass. But both of us failed. Terribly. XD. So we picked up the food and threw them in the thrash bag that Jessie provided :D. After that, we needed to wash the mass tins! And I kinda had a short argument with Randy. He wanted to wash the mass tin in the sea as it was closer. but I wanted to wash it in the toilet as we could not just dump everything in the sea right?? D:. HAHA, I LEARNT TO BE AS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AS GRANDMA :D. But due to the lack of time, I relented. A problem surfaced when we were washing it. The tide was getting higher and Randy was wearing long pants. So I helped him wash the mass tin :D.


- After that, we attended another briefing! We congratulated the sea expedition leaders for their hard work on that day and we needed to pick another! :D. And Adeline was doing a TRICKY CHALLENGE by helping me pour the orange powder into my water bottle! Thanks loads Adeline :D. And we were then notified that we arrived much earlier than expected :D. WOOTS :D. And we had to do sentry duty again! D:. Wanted to take the last shift, but the other group got it despite us calling for it first. Hence, we were the shift after Elizabeth again :D. OH, AND MY PARENTS SENT MY SPARE SPECTACLES OVER (:. Although my vision is still blur, at least its better (:. THANKS MUM AND DAD :D.


- WATER ARRIVED! Went to refill my water bottles :D. And after that, we went back to our tent to get some rest. But before that, Daniel suggested a game! :D. We had to form a circle. And somebody will pick an artist and name a song from that artist. Songs cannot be repeated. And it continues all the way until one person cannot continue to name the song! AND THEN THAT PERSON NEED TO DO FORFEIT :D. Oh and that is considered one round. That artist cannot be repeated in the subsequent rounds :D.


So I started the game with AVRIL LAVIGNE! :D. And I think I kinda sang :


"HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! I DONT LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!"


And we started to name many songs from that artist! Ranging from ' Complicated ' to ' What The Hell ' :D


And I think Jeremy lost that round! So our proposed forfeit is... DO DOMO DANCE 3 TIMES DURING NIGHT SENTRY OR SOME OTHER TIME :D. And it will stack if we lose each round.


Since I was the last person who said a song before the round ended, I got the chance to pick the next artist (:. AND GUESS WHO I PICKED.....?


TAYLOR SWIFT! :D. And I started with Enchanted! <3


And we went round and round with the song! And i think Daniel lost the round! D:.


So Randy picked the artist this time! MICHAEL JACKSON! THE KING OF POP!


And the game went on and on from artists like ' The Cataracs ' to ' Lady Gaga '! :D. INCLUDING KESHA TOO (:.


And when a person cannot think of a song, the others can choose to give clues! As Randy needed help with the Taylor Swift round, I wanted to sing to him ' Mean '! But I keep getting the tune mixed up with 'Speak Now' D:.


HAHA. AND I SANG AN EXCERPT OF BAD ROMANCE TOO :D.


In the end, I had to do 6 Domo Dances!
Daniel had to do 12 Domo Dances!
Randy had to do 6 Domo Dances!
And Jeremy needed to do 12 Domo dances?


- And off we went to sleep! I didn't really sleep! D: . Was awake the entire night and it was time for us to take over the sentry duty! Realized that the girls took the first hour and the boys took the second hour (:. Anyway, was sitting on the rug and waited for time to pass by! Saw one instructor patrolling too (:. Soon, it was the end of our shift, after numerous discussions and we woke up the next group! :D


- Went back into the camp, and sprayed some insect repellant and put another mosquito patch on my leg :D. Couldnt really sleep again D:.


Day 4 :


- Rise and Shine! 4am in the morning xD. Gosh. We unpitched our tents and packed our stuff into the yellow bags once again (:. But before that, we went to the toilet. THE WAY THERE IS COMPLETELY SPOOKY. There was no presence of light! So we had to use our torch and navigate D:. And on the way back, I had stomachache and I went back to the toilet. Alone. All i had was a small torchlight accompanying me! And the tap water seemed clear this time. But its still not safe! Walked back slowly! IT WAS VERY SCARY! There were like centipedes? And i had to be very careful! And there was once I turned wrongly and saw this woman, a van and two guard dogs. I WAS COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT AND I RAN WITH MY RUBBER SHOES ALL THE WAY TO THE CAMPSITE. And the dogs were barking T.T


- Tried to stuff the yellow bag into our kayaks P:. Found it quite challenging though. It just wouldnt fit in D:. So Audrey helped us :D. And we carried the kayaks one by one to the shore :D. And we formed a circle once more, and repeated the same activity as the day before (:.


- Waited for the others to kayak first as Nehru decided to kayak as a TEAM :D. And I LOVE THE NAVIGATORS! They move slowly to ensure everyone can catch up with them :D. AND THEY'RE FROM NEHRU! SO PROUD OF THEM (:. The journey was quite short. And everyone was like bullying Adeline by splashing water into her boat! And it was SUPER FUN AND CUTE :D. Chermaine wanted to do so also :D. And we saw jellyfishes, dead fishes and SLIPPERS FLOATING IN THE SEA! Super cool (:. And we paddled much faster than the day before (:.


- We gathered at a location, and in groups, the kayaks went back to the original campsite to alight and to carry their kayaks. :D. And soon it was our turn! :D. After we were done, we helped out the others and then started to wash the kayaks! :D. The ZH people sticked to each other and carried the kayaks to the water station! And the instructors were naughty P:. They sprayed water on us! :D. And we flipped the kayak and scrubbed it before see-sawing it to get all the water out :D. After that, we carried the kayak to the kayak holders (?) and it was super tiring especially when you are carrying from the bow or the tail or the kayak! And soon, fatigue striked me D:. Daniel realised and then helped me! THANKS :D.


- And after we were done with the kayaks, me and Audrey went to spray ourselves with water to feel more refreshed and we can remove any dirt on our clothes :D.


- We then had to collect all the life vests, paddlers, skirts etc. :D. Did that in a hassle and started to bring back all our belongings to the store and we can have a proper BATH :D. But i decided to stay with the girls to account for any missing items in the stores while the others bathe. :D. It feels good to have a good shower after 2 nights without one? :D. Haha!


- Went back to the store and then brought our water bottles and utensils for lunch! :D. It was.. Instant noodles again xD. But who cares?! Went to pitch our tents too :D. Anyway, we then seized this opportunity to find the pins that we were missing! Me and Daniel went to look at the spot we pitched our tents. And we found 2 :D. Turns out that the others found 8! so we had 2 extras as we were missing 8 only! Anyway, we decided to give the extras to Elizabeth :D.


- Ate lunch and then helped Bernard by arranging the stuffs neatly in the parade square, then counting them! :D. AFTER THAT, OH MY HORROR. It was rock climbing D:. Not literally, but a high elements challenge :D. Anyway, Randy and I paired up since we wanted to do the inner one. But I decided not to be the first as I found it confusing in terms of the route! D:. So Rachels went in first! Kept cheering for them :D.


- And soon.. It was my turn... And i had difficulty placing my feet on the first staple as my feet was too big ><. And Randy was like halfway up? But he went down and helped me up :D. And I could hear Nehru cheering for me :D. It was quite difficult, as my legs couldnt really stretch, but Randy kept guiding and encouraging me :D. And we needed to go to a different route halfway. So he went first, and then he helped me to look out for my route! D:. Honestly, I found the route to be quite simple! :D So i was climbing.. And Randy already reached the top ^^, because one had to go first and I was not confident at all! And I had to climb up this platform which kept shaking as it is only supported by ropes! AND FARIZAH CHEERED FOR ME (:.


And as i climbed up the ropes, my palm was in great pain. It was like super hard for me to climb up! But Randy was at the top, waiting for me to reach and kept encouraging me! Soon, I was near the top, and I had to meet the greatest obstacle of the challenge, which is to get up the platform. There was no rope or staple for me to hold on. And I was like kinda stuck there for 15 minutes? I COULD HEAR ADELINE, RACHAEL,RACHEL, JESSIE AND FARIZAH CHEERING FOR ME (:. And Randy was like up there encouraging me! He tried to help me by offering his hand, but I still couldnt get up! I wanted to let loose, but my mind kept telling me that it was just a rope. I tried to cling onto the rope, but suffered friction burns on my hands and arms. Hence, I couldn't move for a while. Then, I had an idea. Although the others tried to tell me to hold onto the rope, I went to the side and used the platforms by the side as my support to get up!


- And as I got up, everyone was like cheering for me :D. And I was proud of myself! Soon, I went down AND I IMMEDIATELY GAVE A HUG TO RANDY (:, then to Jessie, my belayer :D. And lastly, I went to thank Bernard for his guidance. And he gave me these wise words.


' I only can help you this much. The rest is all up to you. ' :D.


Audrey, Daniel and Randy then went to pitch up the remaining tents. But I chose to stay as I wanted to cheer for the remaining climbers as they did so for me too (:. JESSIE CAN REALLY CLIMB FAST! :D.


After everyone was done, I met Farizah and GAVE HER A HUG TOO (:. Then, I was looking for Adeline, but to no avail. Hence, I went to help those who were pitching the tents. But as i arrived, no one was there except for two army guys. Thinking that they might be busy, I started to collect the big rocks for the tents :D. Soon, Randy, Daniel and Audrey came with new tent packs as some of them were broken :D. Started to pitch the tents :D. And Jessie came along too (:.


- AND IT WAS DINNER TIME! As it was the last dinner in OBS, we decided to cook the best food we had! :D. And guess what, we all had liquid as the majority of our dinner, though we wasted LOADS of rice ):. CAMPBELL SOUP! ORANGE JUICE! OVALTINE! :D. Haha! And then we needed to wash our utensils! :D. Went to clean the mass tins and we tried to remove the stains caused by the soups! :D


- And it was evening! Bernard was not happy with the mess tins, so we went to wash it again! And then, we had some reflections time, before going back to our tents to rest (:. But before that, we went back to the store to take our clothes and bathe once more and BRUSH OUR TEETH :D.


- Went back to the store and waited for everyone to leave before locking the room (:. OH AND I MET ADELINE AND GAVE HER A HUG TOO (:. And Aiko thought we were having BGR?? Went to our tent and slept (:. It was the final night of the camp! D:.


Day 5 :


- Woke up early in the morning and unpitched our tents for the final time! Put all the tent materials outside the Medical Centre before proceeding to the canteen for Breakfast! :D. Washed the utensils and then collected our food (:. The food was not bad xD. Noodles and Ovaltine! :D.


- After breakfast, we washed our utensils once again before putting them back into the locker! Then, we went down to do our self reflections! And we had this activity where we write our name on a piece of paper and pass it down to the rest of the members. They will then write one good and bad thing about that member (:.


- After that, we proceeded for another high elements challenge! After succeeding in my first, I wanted to DO THIS :D. It was to climb up to the top, jump and then grab a bar :D. It looks quite simple! But the scary part is the jumping! D:. Managed to overcome it! :D.


- Went for lunch, and same routine! After that, we went to a location where Bernard distributed our items back to us, as well as certificates and photos (:. Did a bit more of reflection, and completed the survey form (:


- AFTER THAT, IT WAS SHOPPING! :D. Went to the souvenir shop and bought 2 shirts, a notebook and a badge! :D. ALONG WITH A CAP TOO! :D. I had to buy loads of stuff because I might not return. So I wanted to keep those memories with me by purchasing them (:. After that, we assembled in the hall, and we were given our debriefs before being dismissed.


- We then had to group up in our schools! As we got dismissed group by group, ZH had to split up because the boat was only occupied by half. So me, Audrey, Daniel and Randy stayed behind while the rest proceeded. TOOK THE SPEEDBOAT BACK TO PUNGGOL POINT! But had to pass through a police check first! D:. Made a couple of jokes regarding the check, as I was pretty nervous about it!


- Cleared the check! Booked and shared a taxi with Gregory and Daniel! We wanted Randy to come along too, but he was rushing somewhere else ):. AND IT WAS HOME SWEET HOME AFTERWARDS :D.


Sorry for the late post! It is pretty long right? It's like 3am in the morning now! Gotta get some rest (:. NIGHTS! And I will post more stuff soon! :D.


To be honest with you,
when I was doing the dare,
I meant it.
You're beautiful.
I missed you in the camp,
But what difference would it make anyway? D:
