ramblings of a teenage BOY
Tried to write a letter; In ink
I've got a peice of paper; But it's Empty
Pardon me! I took this pic with DSLR camera! Lazy to scan! Pardon me!
HELLO! I am back! From the top picture, surely you people will know which camp i going to tell right?? Btw, not to worry abt this post because this post won't be as long as syafiq's OBS post... Mine will be moderate length + easily understand & read = happy reading! HAHA!! Let me start OBS story:
Day 1
-Human entanglement
A game that bring DA GAMA together & bonded... 1st try we succeed entangled it... 2nd try we again succeed entangled it... 3rd try we fail to entangle until our boat arrive that's abt 30mins we still were entangle.. DAMN!
-Team building games.
Much much more bond happening to DA GAMA..
-Logistics
Take our tents etc from DA GAMA store room & pack it up... Transfer our clothes etc to the OBS bag pack... The OBS bag pack is much smaller than my bag!
-Practice abseiling
Practice abseiling down a slope... Easy mannnn!
-Night trekking
WOW! We got to trek in this super duper dark path in the forest with the bag pack that will lead us to a OBS reservior.... Once we reach the OBS reservior, our instructor bring us to another side of the forest & go in this small little path & to the place we suppose to pitch our tents... Just imagine pitching a tent at 9pm in the middle of the forest & only light source was our torch lights!! GREATNESS!!
Overall:
Its only day 1 but DA GAMA was 70% bonded already... Greatness!! Had lots of laughter & enjoyment too!!
Day 2
-Abseiling
THIS IS NUTS!! We got to abseil down a REAL cliff with a estimated height of 4 storeys.... Yeah 4 storeys not that high but you know cliff! A cliff not straight & smooth but its uneven... The uneven makes it difficult... Uneven + moss everywhere = DIFFICULT!! I was abseiling down the cliff steady but the moment i accidentally step the moss i slip & swing to the right where it is full of tree branches... I tried to get back to the cliff but fail.... I was bellay down & on the way down i was hit with numerous branches all the way till the ground... GOSH! And the worse thing is a small sharp branch that was about 1cm long poke in my right hand... I cleverly pluck it out with my bare hands... But when i told instructor nicholas abt it, he checked & he say there's still the branch inside my hand! GREATNESS!!
-Walk to camp 1
Not far from where we were that was at camp 2... Abt 30 mins walk... At camp 1, instructor YK send me to the clinic at camp 1 after our buffet lunch... The doctor got to somehow tear my skin open to just take the freaking branch out... Pretty painfully you know!!
-Kayak
Did capsized & saving drill training before setting off.... Kayak from camp 1 to ketam island.... Its abt an hour i guess... Had real trouble kayaking with sab.... The kayak just went right & left all the way... HAIZ! When we about to reach, a heavy downpour came down followed by a strong waves... And all the chaos starts till dinner when the heavy downpour stops... Soak wet & cold! Pitch tent at ketam island & prepare for the sea expedition in day 3....
-De brief
Talk about day 3 sea expedition...
Overall:
Another great day! Bonding of DA GAMA gets even better... 75% i guess!
Day 3
-Sea expedition
GREATNESS!! We all are soo the kan chong you know!! All kayak super the fast... Again, me & sab kayak together & again the same thing happen... After abt 45 mins kayaking with sab, decided to swap with a chinese guy from HILARY... We did the swapping in the middle of the sea with me standing tall on the kayak!! GREATNESS! Soo i kayak with azmeer... Everything went prefectly well when i with azmeer & sab with the chinese guy... No more keep on turning left & right for both boats.... Weird right?? Who is at fault? Me or sab? Neither of us got the answer to it... And the weather of the day was freaking hot!! No rain! Burn black ahhh me!! Due to our fast & kan chong kayak, we reach kekek island in 5 hrs... Supposely & estimated time the instructor said we will reach at abt 5pm or 6pm but we reach at 1pm!! GREATNESS!! The time diff between the estimated by instructor & the time we reach kekek island tells everything about our speed... We got only one break that last for 5 mins only in the entire 5 hrs...
-Water polo at a kekek quarry & quarry jump
Since reach super faster than estimated, after pitching our tents, the instructors bring us to kekek quarry for us to cool down after hours under hot sun... Once we reach the quarry, we all did the quarry jump... Once we all already jump, we stay in the quarry & play water polo with HILARY!! Btw, the quarry water was soo clean that you can see your whole leg in the water... About an hour of water polo & we lost 3-2 to HILARY!! It rains heavily during our game too till after our dinner than the rain stops.... I saw a lightning struck down abt 500m from us!! GREATNESS!! I did swim alot during the game because there's no out... Anywhere will do except behind the catcher....
-De brief
Talk about day 4 land expedition..
Overall:
A wet wet day!! Almost the whole day we are wet.. Cold cold night before sleep... Had much much fun today... Bonding of DA GAMA gets even even better... 85% i guess!
Day 4
-Land expedition
TIRING!! 16km of walk=walk whole pulau ubin... We got to walk with our 15kg bag pack & carry the jerrycan & 4 tents... GREATNESS!! Basically we got 6 checkpoints with one is compulsory... Compulsory means both DA GAMA & HILARY got to go.... DA GAMA & HILARY got to divide the other 5 checkpoints.... End up, DA GAMA takes 3 of the 5 checkpoints & HILARY takes the remaining 2 of 5 checkpoints... If add together with the compulsory checkpoint, DA GAMA have 4 checkpoints while HILARY have 3 checkpoints.... Soo we start our land expedition at kekek island and both DA GAMA & HILARY went to the compulsory checkpoint thats the tallest hill at pulau ubin... From the top, we can see malaysia, whole ubin & some areas in singapore like bukit timah hill... Like WOW!! After completing the compulsory checkpoint, DA GAMA & HILARY spill to complete the other checkpoint assigned... With tips & a bit of help from instructor nicholas & YK for map reading, we didn't get lost & reach camp 2 at 3.20pm... That's 40mins faster than the expected time of arrival that's at 4pm.... Total abt 5 hrs of walk... HILARY reach camp 2 at 4.15pm due to they were lost & worse still their instructor didn't give any tips or bits of help....Btw, i am the sweeper(last man) during the expedition! Its the time whereby instructor nicholas came out a name for me that is "nutty professor" & he will laugh everytime he see my face due to he say my face is damn funny!!
-Dinner celebration
GREAT!! DA GAMA & HILARY combine together & we cook as much as we can and make it like a buffet for us to eat later... DA GAMA & HILARY got to produce a special food each with a story to it... DA GAMA makes rice with mushroom while HILARY makes rice with raisins.... The taste for both rice turns out prefectly delicious!
-Night walk
DA GAMA & HILARY combine together again... Both group instructors bring us to a middle of a forest & we got to go out by walking the path we went in without any source of lights... GREATNESS!! When i am walking in the dark, then i know how a blind person will feel...
-De brief
Talk about the night walk...
Overall:
Great day!! Have lots of fun again.... Two days of fun simpily FANTASTIC!! Bonding of DA GAMA gets even even even better... 95% i guess...
Day 5
-Packing,washing of tents etc
Swap back all our clothes from the OBS bag pack to our bag.... Wash tents under hot morning sun... Everything last for abt 3 hours i guess... After everything done, we keep everything in DA GAMA store.... But when gavin(store ic) checks, we got missing stuffs!! 2 tent pags, 5 bottles & 1 jack knife... Everything cost abt $12 at first but the instructor manage to get the 2 tent pags & the 5 bottles soo it end up cost only $7.80...
-Reflection writing, doing a survey & share of experience
Great time!! Lots of laughter... Especially when i talk.... HAHA!
-Trust fall
Actually i don't know what the game's name.... But the game goes like this... A person got to go up this particular steps thats about 1 metre high.... Then the person shout out their goals... Then the person got to jump forward just like how a superman flies & reach for the bell thats abt 2 metre from the steps & land on the mat we holding.... FUN!!
Overall:
Great great day!! Laugh alot with my mates... 100% bonded already!
Soo after we reach punggol, did shopping for the OBS stuffs then i went to compass point for lunch with my group mates at mc donald.... Again laugh alot at mc donald... At 4.15pm, we went back home... The time we all spilt.... Took cab back home that cost me $17... But its worth it!
Overall about OBS: Super fun! With instructor nicholas loves disturbing people especially me & instructor YK loves making stupid sound makes the group full of laughters for 5 days....
Weirdest thing is i am not tired when i reach home on friday.... I still can feel soo fresh even though for the past two days was hard & tiring... Weird weird weird!
**Next post will be some of the conversion i had with the instructors.. STAY TUNED!**
