I CAN ALWAYS MAKE YOU SMILE ((:
haha today just came back from my OUTWARD BOUND TRIP AT UBIN. it's really a nice trip especially when you get to know people from other school and do things together as a watch(group). now having dinner as i'm typing my blog. saw lots of rubbish on my tag wonder how come that person is so free. anyway reach home at about 1530h then do some stuff and sleep at 1630h and wake up at 1930h. By the way my bad habit will start when i go camping so people who know me you know what i'm refering to...
14 june monday day1
Today first day at OBS know 1 girl in different watch as me her name is Valerene hehe she is from unity sec same as sheng long.
Reach the campsite 2 at first is do icebreaking than i'm in MAGELLAN then my instructor is GIDEON he very funny guy also quite good-looking and he looks cute especially when he have a sunshine smile on his face. Then also have got 2 new make friends one call ayu from YISS and the other one call Shereen from SGSS then only sec4 in my watch then we either call her SI or old bird, she is the CI kenneth junior. My watch got lots of guys but not suai 1. But they are funny. then i'm make to be the logstist ic and they have different ic for very day.
Today after lunch we go kayaking it's very fun and also my first time kayaking. Then do drafting and then capsized drill and t-recuse. i hate to do t-recuse coz very hard to go up to the kayak. Then Gideon was like Jolene you can do it push harder then finally i can get into the kayah with the help of Shereen. Afterall its still very fun then Gideon ask me and Shereen to paddle faster coz the wave is becoming stronger and everyone is drfting away. After that we wash the kayak then do jetty jump. it's damn nice,fun and cool if you never do it you will regrate it for sure. After that me, Jonathan(snow white, chicken & rooster) and Shereen wanna do a second jump but then Gideon don't allow, he say what do too many times won't have the feeling and also will have shorter dinner time, so in the end no second round and everyone go for dinner.
I think that the dinner is really a waste of food coz we cook the rice and then throm it away coz it's not cook properly. After dinner we wash up all the things and then go and bath.
When we are bathing got firedreill then we didn't heard it so in the end we are declare dead in the toilet.
After that all of us slack back and pack our things into a 60litre bagthen Gideon come and tell us story.
The story goes like this, young eephant are being tie by a big chain to the tree when their owner are doing their own things. the elephants try to escape but no matter how hard the try they still can't escape soon they give up on escaping.When the elephant become bigger then owner use thin rope to tie them to a wooden stick but the elephant did not break the rope and escape coz they have acturally give up on escaping and so they stay there. The moral of the story is that there is no fear is just that your mind is thinking in a fear way.
15 june tuesday day2
today slack back day wake up at about 0600h++then pack bag and slack back to nothing and slack back then follow by conident fall and touch bell fly both i also cannot do coz i injure my back before so cannot and Gideon also don't allow me to do. then we do belay very fun. then Gideon teach us the four step belay method. Then he also help me to control the rope as in how long should it be.
After that we have our lunch and also last packing of the bag. then rooster do puch up and injusre his chin then everybody slack back again and Gideon bring rooster to camp1 for first aid and he was sent to main land to see doctor. Then we learn how to put the life vest on the 60litre bag. And sleep upon waiting for Gideon to come back. Then Boon instructor of livingstone ask us to play game with his watch then we play the log game then my watch win. Then Gideon tell us that rooster was send to main land to do check up and before rooster went off he ask Gideon if he can buy the t-shirt anot.
Then we do tracking all the way from campsite2 to the new campsite no toilet then veryone was damn tiredand the ground is damn hard cannot peg 1. Then the tent like can collasp anytime coz never tie only use the rock to secure.
After dinner acturally wanna go and look for Gideon to ask where to wash the pots but then he is not around then go and look for Boon then he say go up and wash it with the water in the jellycan. Then heard from the livingstone watch people saying that Gideon went to campsite 1 to bring Jonathan back then Jonathan say that Gideon tell him that his food was being stolen by the boys in my watch. Then Shereen ask him if he die already anot.
Have night hike after dinner then Gideon talk about stars then we hike back one by one it's a fun hike. Then all of us talk to Gideon then chit chat a whle and go and sleep.
16 june wednesday day3
Time fly fast left with two more days to see Gideon opps hehe. today walk all the way to campsite1. Today the bag is much lighter then yesterday, then I'm walking at the back then he walk behind me haha then today break camp then Gideon went to check if the place is clean then he touch the puppys then all the chinese in my watch go and touch anyway all of us touch the dog during our breakfast time.
Reach campsite1 very nice lace like chalet haha. Then have a smale talk with Gideon before we do rock climbing. Then Gideon tell us a story and is speacially delicate to shaffiq.
the story goes like this. There is this turkey who wish to flythen it went to ask a cow how to be able to fly. Then the cow say you eat my shit and you will be able to fly so the turkey eat the cow shit and it can reall fly so the turkey eat a little bit of the cow shit and soon it can fly up to the highest brunch of the tree. But unforturenately it's being shoot down by a hunter and bring home for a feast. The moral of the story is not to bull shit.
After hearing the story all of us went for rock climbing then i still can break my rocord coz got phoia after p5 camp so in the end climb till my body is half above 2.5m. Then Gideon say it's a good try.
After rock climbing have to pitch tent the ground is hard even though it is grassy. Then have lunch. After lunch do obstacles course(tripod) haha manage to finish all so happy. Anyway get caught by Gideon 2 times for wearing my yellow rubber band on my hand when doing the rock climbing and tripod.
During the tripod very funny the tripod consists of one wire and two wire support, one wire to step on and a rope to support then the shaking log. the one with the one wire and rope support tokk me a lot of time coz my legs keep on shaking so it was like argh what the hell kinda of fed up with it then Gideon say i can do it so i took a deep breath and continue and manage to finish it. After that we got a talk.
After talk Gideon ask us to stand on the shaking log to sing a song and stand therefor ten seconds but we manage to stand there for more then that. After that we have a game which is to use a roe to swing from one side to the other side, and because of me az have to do it four time then they all especially az encourage me to do it again and ask me not to give up so in the end i did it. After the game Gideon keep on asking me how i feel about the game and we also have a talk.
After dinner got time to bath and it was so comfortable coz already one day never bath and change clothes. Oh ya during dinner me, Jeremy and Shaffiq pick sea shell then Gideon come and look for us and tell us details for tonight's breifing about tommorow sea expertation and also tell us how to see the tide. Then got breifing about sea expertation. I'm looking forward to it. Then ask Gideon for ducktail to paste on my shoes coz it's half open mouth. Then return it to him.
When go and look for him hear the radio playing a chinese song. Then when Gideon heard his name being call by people who is looking for him he was like so happy then hvae a sunshine smile on his face. Then return him the ducktail then he ask me and Shereen how is the packing of bag then i say finish packing already then he was like have a big smile on his face again. How nice of him and he looks cute with a big sunshine smile on his face.=)
17 june thurday day4
Today wake up very early should be the earliest of the past few days. We unpitch the tent and found out that my tent have got 2 missing pegs then Ayu go and take 2pegs from other group's peg bag then she say they leave their peg bag outside.After that we are ready for our sea expertation.
We leave campsite1 at about 0710h then soon yong haiz like eat snake 1 keep on kayak in a crise cross way so in the end i kayak with vernan who is from livingstone then kayak faster.
Then we go to the mangrove swamp which is the river then me and Vernan keep on knocking into the brunches of the mangrove then do matrix haha so fun. Then cut my finger then follow by getting out of the kayak to move it across the road then tell Gideon that cut my finger then he say it's okie no point putting and medic coz still will touch water so when reach campsite then say and he give me a pat on my bag say good job as in never give up. Then talk to Gideon when kayaking then knock into the mangrove then Vernan say talk somemore and now you see what happen, then Gideon was like wanna laugh but then give a smile then look around and ask people at the back to kayak faster. Cut my niddle finger and tumb then the water in the mangrove is very dirty.
Then we stop at the gate which is near the open sea then Vernan keep on shaking the kayak coz he wanna do capsize then I keep on shouting like crazy then people say i'm the second lucky and Boon ask me to keep quiet and Gideon was like smiling all the while.
Then we took about 7hours to do our sea expertation cum cross half the island which is from camp1 to camp2 to a mangrove swamp then to camp 1 and to camp2.
Then wash up everythinglike kayak, life vest,ponch,waterbottle and the paddle. Then I wash a few kayaks coz Gideon is spraying water to wash so i was like got chances hehe i do things with motive. Then move the kayaks to the shell to dry. Then Gideonask me and a guy to move the single man kayak to a shelf and put but then there is this stupid metal piece there so in the end call Gideon to see and then end up moving it.
Aftr moving kayak Gideon say that he will have dinner with my watch and my watch is very happy then Gideon ask my watch to go and collect bag at the jetty wheer the speed boat was and a few of us assk Gideon if can do jetty jump again then he say no and sy do too many times won't have the feeling then we went on the speed boat to get our bags then he hop on the speed boat that time almost fall into the sea coz the boat shake.Then before going to the store from the jetty i ask Gideon if I'm sunburn coz i feel a painin my skin when I'm under the sun then he grab my hand and see then say yup sunburn better get into shade faster so i just quickly walk and grab 1 bag and walk to the store.
After taking our bag went to bath. Then we have got lots of time so i went around to get everybody's contact no. After that pack the store with az.Then go for dinner then Gideon came and eat and talk with us and tell story. It goes like this long ago when human body is invented, the brain say that it's the boss of the body, coz it helps to think and make decision. Then the eyes say no i'm the boss coz i help to see but then the asshole say it's me coz i help to let out dirty things then both eyes and brain say no. So 1 day the asshole close the hole then the dirt cannot go out then the brain go crazy and the eyes go cross and they finally give up. And the asshole is make the boss of the body. The moral of the story is that even as asshole can be a leader so that means everybody can be leader.
Saffiq tell one story about bear and turkey. The turkey is flying in the air and a hunter saw it so the hunter shoot it but he miss it. so whey is there still blood shed?? Coz the bear n the house is digging it's nose and when the rifer shoot the bear acturally poke it's nose and make a bang sound so there is blood shed. the moral of the story is to expect for unexpected things to happen inside and outside.
Then Gideon tell another story, it's about frog. there is two frog in the well and some other frogs above the well. the frogs above the well ask the frog to give up on jumping up coz there is no chances of getting out so 1 of the frog give up and die in the well. but the other one acturally jump out of the well and it's acturally deaf so he did not hear the frogs above giving negative comments and he acturally thinks that they are encouraging him so he try his best and jump out of the well. the moral of the story is to take all negative remarks as encouragement and work on it. then i say now i know how come there is frogs in the store when i'm taking out a tent set on day2. then Gideon ask me if i got kiss the frogs and i'm like what the hell.
Then later Gideon suan me indirectly asking me how many brunches have you break when you are kayaking in the mangrove swampthen i'm like so pai sei lor. and he do this to me, and he also say that he going for dragon boat racnext saturday at kallang river. and all of us was saying you hintting us to go and support you ar.
After that he check the store then want us to make shelterto sleep then he came to check how was it then on the way to the site he say he iwas from air force but have got no flying experinces. Then he say he fall out during 1 of the NDP resharel as a flag bearer.
Then have debreif and then Jonathan was so irritating keep on asking Gideon when can will the shop be open and when can he buy the OBS t-shirt. Then Gideon was like later i tell the boss not to sell you anything. Then we go on to sleep. Then Jonathan, Kim and me stay up to talk then 2 instrustor came and acturally before they ask which watch you are from or who is your instructor then saw Jonathan and say it's Gideon's watch 1 tehn 1 of them tell the 3 of us not to do anything silly.
