BACK FROM OBS
Back from OBS. Relieved. Sad. Happy. Met great friends there, had a great time; but i miss everything about home and about civilisation. Day One We got to know our fellow teammates. Rachael. Gabbie. Tessa. Yu Chen. Shu Hua. Jing Wen. Jia Xin. Han Ru. Adele. Irfanah. Sruthi. Gauri. Andromeda. Sarvena. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OUR INSTRUCTOR, Charles. We were officially known as Team Sui Sen. We started off learning where our "dorm" was, and how to pitch a tent and stuff. Afterwards, went kayaking. Was really fun. We were did a forced capsize and the TX resuce which was learning how to save a capsized kayaked. Everything was smooth. We even saw a jellyfish. Sarvena thought it was a HAMBURGER?! Hahas, hallucinating on the first day of OBS already... Slept in a not so deep forest or something. (just some place that was like an open field except with lots of trees and insects but not so deep). One word to describe the sleeping tent experience: HOT!!!! Day Two Did high elements. Went to some quite deserted area with loads of insects especially mosquitoes. Learnt how to belay. Everything was quite manageable, but everyone's greatest fear was of the one where we had to cross the log some height from the ground. And the log was quite narrow. I did fine, just walked straight through and yup, it was not as bad. Near towards 3+,4+ we tracked to camp 2 with our BACKPACKS. My bagpack. (this includes Sarvena's stuff and mine) - 6 sets of clothes. - Our happy bag. Things that held our snacks and lunch. - Our daily necessities. e.g. toothbrush, shampoo, torchlight etc. [and Sarvena called me and auntie for bringing so many stuff. but who was the person that needed most of this auntie's stuff?] - 4 pairs of shoes. (2 for wet activites, and 2 slippers) - Towels and other stuff - Poncho. (the ones that they provided. they're not disposable so they're super heavy) - Life vest The tracking was about 1.5 km long. Day Three Sea expedition. I was the Sea Ex. leader doing the starboard/starpod (it sounded something like that) [but it basically means being the boundary that is near to shore, preventing any other kayaks from being too close to shore to prevent capsizing and injuring]. Tailbone hurt halfway through. Horrible. Everyone became tanned and we were kayaking AGAINST the waves. Journey: about 13.5 km. No showering that day.Weather: terrible cos it was so humid and hot that night, meaning to say you're sweating and sleeping. Day Four Land Expedition. Tracked to Chek Jawa, and the tracking did not count Chek Jawa! Toured around Chek Jawa and headed off for Camp 2 then Camp 1. We were the only group that had to make a detour because we left one of our tents there so we had to retrieve it. Journey: about 8-9 km Day Five Home sweet home. Had some other games and stuff in stored for us. Cleaned our store and our "dorms".  Team Sui Sen.  |

Lyrics
You told me there's no need To talk it out 'cause its too late To proceed and slowly I took your words And walked away No looking back I wont regret, no I will find my way I'm broken But still I have to say It's alright, okay 'm so much better without you I won't be sorry Alright, okay So don't you bother what I do No matter what you say I won't return Our bridge has burned down I'm stronger now Alright, okay I'm so much better without you I won't be sorry You played me, betrayed me Your love was nothing but a game Portrayed a role You took control I couldn't help but fall So deep But now I see things clear It's alright, okay I'm so much better without you I won't be sorry Alright, okay So don't you bother what I do No matter what you say I won't return Our bridge has burned down I'm stronger now Alright, okay I'm so much better without you I won't be sorry Don't waste your fiction tears on me Just save them for someone in need It's way to late I'm closing the door It's alright, okay I'm so much better without you I won't be sorry Alright, okay So don't you bother what I do No matter what you say I won't return Our bridge has burned down I'm stronger now Alright, okay I'm so much better without you I won't be sorry It's alright, okay Alright, okay Without you No matter what you say It's alright, okay Alright, okay Without you I won't be sorry |
