I FREAKING LOVE OBS, COOKS AND OF COURSE OUR INSTUCTOR, ELTON!


aloha! yay, i'm back from obs! and i'm determine to write down all the things that happen! whoooohoooo. of course so that i can rmb luh.

firstday!
arrived in school, went up hall then soon proceeded to take bus to punggol jetty. then at the jetty was like raining and everyone was waiting for the boat to fetch us there. lucky the rain was like drizzle only.

and poor dawn got a flu there.. then after classes went, our class went onboard. reach pulau ubin. then we walked to the "hall" area. we were then splitted into grps which we already know. then the people started to introduced the instructors. our grps name is cooks(james cooks)!

ours was a guy call hairi. then we went to our store. so we took out the things, pack this and that, the sun was scorching hot! then lucky for ernest's cap, so i felt better, thanks ernest! ^^ then we also had a samll interaction with hairi, but he was sick so elton which in the end became out main instructor came and take over him.

before elton took over, he was in charged of taking pictures. then he is like damn funny luh. he used the walkie talkie then he say " to all instructors!, who took my pen!?" we heard it through hairi's walkie talkie and were laughing.

lunch : oreo, apples, isotonic drink, bread, nutrious bar. ( loooks like cannot keeep you full right? but the fact is damn full! )

but sadly after lunch, hairi had to go so elton took over us. we went to play a game which i think is called " sway grass" which is like you have to be like a grass then two friends, one infront, one behind will have to push you. so this game is actually bout trusting your friends.

it was fun luh. lol. then we went to the belaying station then elton taught us how to belay and stuffs. JUDITH LIN! pangseh me! then i partner with caslin inglee & yichu. so i climbed two times! then both times, i was hugging the "pole" like a panda.

cause is like elton dun let us come down! espicially the last part. then the climbers has to sing school song! then me and the others climbers were like diao~ but in the end we sang together as cooks! whoohooo.

then we came down with the belayers helping us. then we went to pitch tents.elton taught us how to pitch tents with girl guides people to help us with the knot. yeps, then after teaching finish, some of the girls and most of the boys were pitching the tents, while the girls cook. so we were like the first grp to cook finish.

dinner : bake beans, canned peanuts, rice & hot dogs! ^^

so after pitching and cooking, we went to eat! ohlay! then eat le went bathe. damn long sia, somemore the shower cloth like torn one. need people to help u hold. then after bathing, we went to bed.

in the midnight bout 2++ inglee thought it was 5 + and called caslin up. then me and jud thought is 5+ le, but we decided to let them wake us up first. then in the end is she made a mistake. then hoh, the benjamin and hongyong keep talking leh! we shh them le they still talk.

thn, it was second day...............


Second day!
woke up, feeling damn cold. then brush teeth and stuffs. unpeg tent then met elton. had breakfast and blaaaa. so we went to climb the rock wall which was like kanasai. bleahhhhh): jud, sye wai and jiahui reached the top. jiahui reached both tops. clapclapclap, so hence, jud owe him two sets lunches. damn funny.

lunch : same old stuffs, biscuits, apples, nutrious bar. ( but actually we're not suppose to eat too full. so yea, bout this. )

then after that we went to take our whistles, and life jacket. but we took another pic this time, with elton. then we went to have our lunch then we had the kayak activity. which was where i got hurt ): my finger was being "squashed" by the kayak. so my skin was like being peeled out. bloood flowed out): it was damn pain when elton dripped the medicine on my finger.

so cannt bear the pain, i cried loh. )': it was very pain luh. then got alot of friends to care for me, which made me feel alot better. then went to sit down on the shore damn shoik. but @ the same time, finger pain! >:(

while the others kayak out. i just sit there day dream loh. then they came back, the other grp went. then clean ourself with clean water. then after that we went to have a short bathe. then we went to get ready our stuffs with the bag obs have in their store.

packed the necessary stuffs inside , then we hike to another place with out tents and ground sheet all those. clarence was the navigator. of course with elton's help we managed to walked the shorter way to camp 3 which was near the sea and has no electricity and stuffs like that.

so we managed to pitch the tent as we were the first to reach and of course we've got the sunlight to help! whoohooohooo~ then da gama was the second to arrived, wo we pitched our tents. so after i managed to pitched finished out tents, i went to help out fion, huixin and erin. since their tents are like, not pitched yet and its getting darker and darker.

so pitched finish then! we forgot to bring out utensils!! so we've got to share other classes utensils loh.then after eating, i went to chat with fion and some integ people. like qingjie bah. lol. we keep making fun of him.then i went back. so we wanted to know what time to slp and stuffs.

dinner : maggi mee (wheeee~ that was the shoik! ) and campbell soup!

so we shouted for elton. then he dunwan come over, so we shout to him, " elton! zhao huo le! " which is, "elton, there's fire" in eng. so he came over, and we suceeded! then chatted with fion blablabla. then went to slp already.

okay, i'm back from my 12 hrs of slp! really feel refreshed and stuff. back to day threee...,

day threeeeee!
woke up, and went to the open toliet, lol, everyone was quite shy luh. hurhurhur. then after that, we unpitched our tents then had breakfast. then after all these, elton came over, he asked us to take out our maps, so we did and we're suppose to find check points.

since we didn't take geography, so we had some difficulty, so we asked junhao over to helped us bout the 8 points. then he explained to us, taaaadaaa, so we knew. so we agar agar plot out all the points.

then soon after, we set out with our heavy bags full of food stuff and personal stuffs. we're the first to set out, we almost missed the first checkpoint, so meanie elton asked us to sing songs for him, so we sang if i'm not wrong, abc, then he gave us clue.

its was near a temple, a german girl died there and dunno what happen, she became the temple or worship. then we had to walked behind a tree to find it. so we were damn happy we found the first checkpoint!

the chechpoint had smth wrote on, but i forgot what is it, so yea, it was a phrase which is kinda true. ^^


so yeps, we continue to hike to the second checkpoint which was kinda far away. then walked walked walked, there some lame jokes in between, some racist ones too! walked walked walked. then continue to walkwalkwalk. then we, also continue to walkwalkwalk, then hongyang found the next checkpoint.

if i'm not wrong, the check point has a phrase like this, the second one, " we cannot change the things and stuffs that are going to happen but we can change the mind of how we think about it. " i think this phrase really is good loh, why, shan't explain! ^^

then after the second checkpoint, we took a 10 mins, it feeel like heaven! then since the third, fourth and fifth checkpoint kinda near so it was quite okay, on they way to the fourth check point we saw a board, " perseverance prevails when all esle fails. "

cause our bags are very heavy, actually to say the truth, is cannot give up at all de. then after we found the fourth one, we slowly hike back to the fifth one, which was the one near our camp two, hurrray!

so we slowly hike back and found the fifth one which was inside the camp 2 then we were so happy bout it! but we have to put our bags into a boat so we have to walk to the jetty with the heavy heavy heavy bags. ): but it was kinda okay luh, since we knew everything has ended.

then, after putting our bags and stuff, we went to build our raft. it was okay luh, then the barrels, was with the help of elton and his tying skills, to tye the whole thing together. then after tying, we carry it to the sea and see whther it can be float anort or whther the raft can hold all our weight or not.

when we were building the raft, there were jokes around, some were the racist jokes mr shahrom said but like all the jokes elton heard before le. then got one is hua mulan one. lol, shall not say it here, those who wna know, ask me!

when we were at the sea and everyone were on the raft, two barrels came out. so elton the man went to tie it in the sea and everyone tried to sit on it, of course while playing with the water, then for those who fell down or have scratches, the sea water make our leg pain. so everyone was saying pain.

i'm going out! shall continue ltr! ^^

then after tying and stuffs, we went on board our raft! and we slowly paddle towards camp one. its was so damn slow until we very very very pekcek, then we need to scream like 1,2 pull! then the others changed it to "want to poo" damn funny luh.

@ the same time we were making bryan bout smth smth. thn is like he so embarrassed luh! but then when we were very close to camp one, all of us were like freaking tired le, and elton had to go out awhile and he was late.

so speed boat pull us to some where near the jetty then we slowly paddle towards camp one. since elton was late, and leon was like seasick, he ain't helping at all, so elton screamed at him. then is like his face immediately OKAY luh!!!! wth man.

then i went to wash up, in the end, the wash make me feel damn cold that i could not even stand properly on my both feets and when i stand, i was shivering real damn badly ! )': then since elton went off so another instructor took over.

liping asked me to had a bathe first then go find her, but after my bathe, i feel okay le, so i went back to the campsite. then qingjie asked me help him take things back. then blablabla, meet up with liping then we went to have our dinner, which was like, so damn shoik!

the cold water, damn shoik sia, the food was okay luh. the drink was MARVELOUS! then since me and jud and sye wai bathe already, so we went to pitch the remaining tents. then soon it was done, its was like damn dark luh!

thn after pitching and other people bathing we met up with other grps and instructors. then elton came back, which was like so damn fast. then had briefing on next day the sea expedition which was kayaking the whole day.

after briefing, then we went to slp sorta fight again ! but then this time too tired le, so we went to slp. then in the middle of the night, our tent was attacked by the monkeys! so one of our pitch came out and it hit my sunburnt! aww, freaking pain man.

lunch was on sea, with biscuits oranges and stuff like that quite okay luh. i'm so glad i didn't get sea sick. we didn't managed to tour the whole of some dunno what island as the time doesn't allow us to do so, so yeps, went back half way .

then after reaching the jetty, we helped other boats in coming in. like tell them how to get off and of course clean the kayaks! we managed to brk the record, which is clean all the kayaks in half an hour! ^^

*clapclapclap* then we had debrief as in grp 2b. then we had sharing bout the kayaking and how you feel, columbus's instructor too, shared a story with us, which is like what shyt, bird and dog, if u wna know the story, ask me!

then had dinner which was bread with curry or sardine, as we didn't want our bread to go spoil then waste money. tts why. in the end, we were still like late for 5-10 mins. but then its better luh.

then elton debrief-ed us and ask us to clean up the stores so that we'll have a easier time tmr. so we did. then bout 10.45 me and jud went to look for him and tell him everything's kinda done so he asked us to tell everyone to meet up. then had another debrief, went to slp soon after.

then suddenly got meeet up, elton said someone has stolen the sample shirt. then we had to checked our bags loh. so we checked, but no one found out who's who. sooon, we're on our way home to singapore )':

on the jetty, lucky for nigel and guys jokes bout eng stuff, if not i really would have cried leaving obs. the sad thing is that i didn't managed to say bye to elton in person, so is like kinda regreting. maybe is a regret for me bah.

is like he really very nice, even though he kinda sarcastic at times, but he didn't scream at us nor scold us at all even when we are late or stuffs. he is really the best instructor we ever had! ^^

oh, btw, on the survey form, he tricked us ! the instructor name, he wanted us to put H-A-N-D-S-O-M-E , so he spell H-A-N-D out then everyone was like eh, how come so odd one? then he spell out handsome, then we really wrote it. so there goes his sarcastic laugh again.

sat on boat with emily crying again for dunno what reason, this time with nigel and jud. jud was protecting her head as she got sunburnt on them. but is like evryone keep beating, so she keep screaming loh. esp, nigel and cheng en.
