hello yesterday i was feeling so cold and sick and feverish, but now i'm glad to announce i'm alright once again! YAY! i'm so happy!!! yesterday i was so worried i would be sick for the whole holidays!! D: but now, phew! haha ok OBS was FUN FUN FUN. and now i knid of miss it, though during OBS I was like counting down to day 5 and when we can go home. aww. ok anyways.

DAY 1!!
we arrived. my watch's magellan. you know sometimes i still have difficulty pronuncing this name! it's like so dificult. i sometimes can't spell it too. :O and our instructor is cicak man cos he looks like the man in the lizard man show HAHA. anw, after that we settled some admin stuff, then cleared store, clean stuff, settled IC stuff. hahahaha i'm the store IC heh. then had to count the equipments and all. at first thought it was quite boring. after lunch we learnt kayaking. yay fun! did with yijia my kayaking partner! YAY capsize! it was scary at first but after that it was ok la haha and the rescue thing was cool too! we did with yuzhen and lingyi!!! =DD after that had dinner. sally and some others cooked haha i was too cold to move... heehee (: so i just waited for my food. after that we bathed in super cold water, which made me feel even colder. ahh. after that was tent- pitching. our instructor cicak asked claire, marsha and I to help demo hahaha! and our instructor said we can finish pitching a tent in 15 mins and i was like, wow really! D: anw, halfway through there was some fire drill thing. ahh so late at night. after that we finished up our tent and went to sleep. yay tent-maties yuzhen, selina and shijie! =DD it felt so comfortable with only 4 people unlike guides camp with 6 people. haha. =D

DAY 2
oh in the morning we trekked from camp 2 to camp 1. 35 mins trek with a 20kg backpack on. still ok la. the 3 of us guides were navigators ahha got to practice and revise my topo. skills though the testwork is over already la but nvm. managed to reach there without getting lost YAY erhmm but still got some help from our instructor la. camp 1 was like so nice and xian jin compared to camp 2, it's like a chalet and looked little like HCI lor hahaha. that gan jue you know. hahaha =DD over there we learnt climbing, and belaying. it was quite fun la the first part. but that part when we had to climb snake and laddar was scary and tiring. I could feel my whole body shaking lor but i'm still very happy i managed to reach the top so YAY. =D oh and i almost forgot! we did trustfall! i wasn't very scared la, but i think i did not fall back properly lor. so lousy unlike claire and marsha and some others who fell back like so straightly. hmmph. haha anw, it was the first night we got to eat full meal. YAY it was like so nan de and everybody was eating so much. kaiqing and simin even asked me to help them get more rice haha =D and after that we had some briefing for the next day, pitched our tents and fell asleep.

DAY 3
trekking for don't know how many hours la, this time it was really tiring. i think i'd have shrunk even more after this trek. D: i don't want!! and cicak didn't allow us to rest too much as we trekked there. it's like everybody's back breaking already, and he still didn't want to let us rest (at the last part la). and in the end we ended up the first watch there and had to wait for the other 3 watches. and in the meantime, cicak made us carry stuff for our next activity. it's like my back breaking already and still must carry more heavy stuff! D: anw, soon after it was raining very heavily. we had to build rafts using super big pipes and barrels and it was really hard tying the knots. D: and in the rain somemore. can you immagine it! it was so cold that even a sip of milo can do wonders! awww i really miss my milo!! =DD and in the end we did not get to launch our rafts cos it was unsafe and mostly incomplete la. so after untying the knots and keeping all the stuff, we had a 304 gathering and played games and cheered in the rain, and amazingly, the rain stopped. the instructors siad our cheers and ehthu-ness moved the gods. HAHA =D anw, after that was briefing for the next day, then we went back to campsite to pitch our tents while some others cooked. It was horrible luh we did not get to bathe and there wasn't even a proper toilet. we had to do our business behind ponchos, and we were wondering, what if someone comes round from the back! ohman that'll be embarrassing luh. haha anw we had to pitch tents with rocks instead of pegs and there was a mad rush and craze for rocks to hold our tents down. oh and suddenly shijie had an asthma attack because it was too cold i guess, ohman it was really scary. luckily she was ok soon after. that night we slept in "water-beds" like what cicak had said. and we crapped alot among our tent and kaiqing's tent. and selina's imagination is like really fertile man. and she was like super high in the tent while yuzhen and I were shivering like crazy. HAHA. woke up at 2 plus for sentry duty. WOW FREEZING COLD. can't wait to get into tent where there's warmth. i was like so happy when our duty was over. quickly went back to tent and tried to sleep, though it was super noisy with the clubs at malaysia blasting some funny music.

DAY 4
We had our sea expedition! it was raining with lighting cat. 1, so our expedition was delayed. and we had to move the kayaks up and down the human chain for 3 times in whole cos of the rain la. and later we had to go by the shorter way cos we can't possibly paddle in the dark. well, it was rahter tiring but still fun i guess! with yijia as my kayaking partner! could tell she was like very tired and I kept on encouraging her on so YAY I was glad when we finally saw shore at camp site 2! six gruelling hours! WOW i survived. hee (: after that washed the kayaks and kept them back on the racks. By then i was like, wah i cannot already i cannot already, cos my legs were so going to break! D: and then after that we had to cook dinner (note: we still have NOT bathed) i was feeling so dirty and disgusted with mnyself la. and it was so cold some more. AHH. anw, the food were not really cooked, everything's raw, esp the rice =O when it was finally time to bathe i was so glad. like finally! a shower!!! :D maybe that's my highest point? HAHA. no la. and i realized something. that i actually bathe quite fast heh! YAY! =D anw, after that sally, selina, charlotte, lingyi and I went wash lifejackets and ponchos. The stuff in the lifejackets were REALLY GROSS omg!! like half eaten, soaked granola bars? soggy oranges! ohmy it was really gross haha. after that we went to sleep in our tents for the last night. yuzhen, selina and I were talking till don't know what time then we slept. and yuzhen and I ate apollo in the tent and we managed to tempt selina heh HAHA!

DAY 5
Unpitched tents, packed stores and all, did lots of washing up and reflections. we also played our final activity, the reaching out for the bell thing. and we concluded short ppl can't reach it. =(
