sorry for the delay of day 4 and 5. my comp crash well nwa....

(cont'd)

.day 4.

woke up damn early, 515. went to the toilet to brush my teeth and do my business and off we were to unpacking our tents, waking everybody up and blahblah. so 630 we were all done. wwent to the dining hall. just figured out that rahul was not following us. he is sick. damn

did some last minute planning and organisation of bags onto a speed boat and we were done by like 10? took freaking long. me and chun men, canoe buddies, were already dozing off at the final briefing. how to survive 18km tell me? lolx.

so we started off the first part to the first landmark took like 20 mins and we could still see the beach where we left from. wow?! what a progress. 2hrs later, the navigators, philbert and chris, told us that we were still veryvery far away from the lunch point. he exstimated it to be like 3 more hours. so me and chun men were like wtf. but nah nvm

so we kayaked, our co-ordination was a bit off haha. (p.s he was in comb schls hockey as i was in rugby in p6. so its like damn paiseh we were behid some of our school muggers.) wow! and guess what, both of us started feeling nauseas and we felt like vomiting. seasick. but we still continued. when we reach frog island, which was actually a small piece of land with a maximum diameter of 200-300m with huge boulders and two or three trees. lolx. and it was low tide if it were high lets say at night, it would only be like 30m wide. lolx.

we stopped ate bread and biscuits for lunch and we actually reached in 1hr 15mins not the 3 hrs and we realised that the map was totally blown up incorrect to the measurement. :S

we left exactly at 145 and we had to go through trait java. the water there was real shallow, if we were to put our hands in to touch the floor, it would reach slighlty above our elbow. if u look carefully, there were horseshoe crabs and alot of wierd sea creatures. this time, we werent as letarghic and learning from the experience ealier, we were champions! lolx. we could kayak like supersuper fast, from the last man, we reached the navigator and waited till everyone pass us so we had the 'challenge' of beating the number one man again.

as we were reaching the campsite, the wind started to blow strongly, the waves were all choppy, so me and chun men went like very fast to beat the waves and there were oint s when we went to fast, we would paddle through the waves but luckily, there was no mishaps to our kayak. lolx

we were closing on the jetty which is the final landmark before the beach and as good friends, we waited for the rest. but two guys from the other watch decided to have a race, we declined and they were steering like 100m ahead of us, close to 400m near the beach. after everyone were here, we checked if everyone was fine and off we were trying to beat them, they were abt 200m away from us. and guess what? we beat them at the 400m mark and guess what we wone!

that night we pitched our tents and had loadsa food to eat. we usually cooked in accordance to our tent mates. so we had the most as we had all the strong people who had been volunteered to carry hell load of tin cans. while this mugger group had cold bake beans. aww. so saddening

.day 5.

this day was the finale.

woke up had a bath clean our tents, it was raining at night and my tent once again
did not leak. had a final talk by our instructors, and we did some evaluation form, recieved our certificates and photo and we were so sad to leave OBS, i was just almost adjusted to the place there. bought a few shirts and bottles and keychain and off we were on a fairy to the newer camp, also known camp 1.

the finale was f.o.s(full of shit) and a total waste of time.

it ended at 345 and we waited for our ferry to bring us back. once again i had the speedboat! damn i love speed boat. but it was moving so fast and i hadn't recovered from ydae's seasickness, i felt like vomitting but i didnt. reach school at around 5, it was raining quite heavily. the doors were locked, so my dad decided to fetch me. he brought me home, i bathed and rested.

at 730, i fell asleep and woke up at 11 the following morning. lolx

in short OBS RAWKS except the finale . :S

touch me if you dare-`
