Back from OBS!

I am back from OBS and I am proud to say I have survived! HAHA
Here's a summary of what happened over the 5 days 4 nights. (12.05.06 to 16.05.08)

Day 1:
Took a boat from Punggol jetty to Pulau Ubin with fellow group mates (Cousteau) and to meet our instructor, Elton. We also learnt how to belay, and pack the things needed from the store for the next day's 3 day 2 night trip to other campsites. Bathed in the not-so-clean toilet and had to set up our tents to sleep and fanned myself with Isabella's fan. :D
Tent mates: Huiyan, Isabella, Kah Huan and Qian Ning.

Day 2:
Trekked over to Camp 1 and we rock-climbed to earn ourselves the catered dinner. I was so surprised that I could reach the top! :D We then had kayaking lessons to practise capsizing and rescuing. (Thanks to Huiyan, kayaking partner, for encouraging me!) Had the greatest dinner during this whole camp by the caterer in the cookhouse and slept in our tents.

Day 3:
Sea Expedition day. Kayaked along half way, but there was a storm and we had to stop half way along some coast. The experience was really scary, like being really helpless and if not for the encouragement and help of our team mates, I am sure we couldn't have survived. Cousteau hugged to keep warm and under the ponchos, it felt warm and comfy. :) The campsite for that night was on an island with no bathroom, so we couldn't bathe! Slept in an unstable tent for that night. :S

Day 4:
Trekked all the way to Chek Jawa and then back to Camp 2 with a 10kg++ backpack which caused a bad shoulder ache. It was a great sense of achievement when we finally reached our destination and the huge relief from the heavy backpack as indescribable! Had a special farewell dinner and then slept in our tents after searching for tent pegs.

Day 5:
Last day of camp. Wrote some well-wishes for the team-mates and bought souvenirs from the souvenir shop. We stepped onto the boat for mainland Singapore and almost everyone as buying soft drinks from this stall uncle! Reached school at 3pm and cabbed back home with Huizhen.

I found out that my DEAR sister had missed me so much that she fell sick! I love her so much! :D
Haha, and before I end, I would like to say that Cousteau made me feel so at home, so warm. May the Cousteau spirit live forever! Cousteau Cousteau, go go!

Cindi.

I have survived OBS! :D
