ok. fine. im going to blog about obs first
THEN put the pics cos they're taking forever to load into photobucket
DAY ONEgot to pulau ubin by bus & boat & sorted into
RALEIGH. me sarah phua & serene were sitting in the front together & were giving nicknames to the instructors to pass our time. i still rmb some of the names. kang kang (elyn's instructor who had hair like phua chu kang, hence the nickname kangkang) there was a g-cube gross gay guy and a j2. i think it was like johari 2 or something. there was ras (raffles shark who turned out to be
MY instructor) and
SMG. sexy married guy. the one that sarah
LOVES. -.- dotdotdot. my group was me, sarah, alex, nat sim, nat ng, geklynn, ting fang, wang xun, anastasia, lynn, jeannette, danielle chen, amanda toh, abigail, tammie & beverly. its like all se sy & 1 dg. =) by the time we were finished it was like afternoon so we had lunch of apples & buns. plus we went kayaking. alex & nat were like so stupid la. they kept going the wrong direction and we saw a jellyfish when we did the floating thing. and cornell kept screaming at the jellyfish to scare us and we kept screaming too. spent the rest of the day doing admin stuff which was seriously
BORING and we had like burnt rice (thanks to wx who added too much water into the pot), sardines, tuna & baked beans for dinner. tent group of my sarah alex & nat sim. oooh. and i was telling sarah abt pirates of caribbean 2 cos she has
NEVER watched it. alex & nat were adding to the parts i forgot & we were all saying how ew it would be if elizabeth went with jack when will is way
WAY better than jack who's like practically half gay. -.- fell aslp to mei-e/shereen/sasha/roxanne talking about wild boars. stupid la
DAY TWOwe went trekking in the stupid jungle today. i swear that the bags were like 20kg and it took us like 10 minutes to travel 300m. then stupid stupid lum made us go back to the campsite cos he forgot something and then we had to tramp back to the 300m mark where we previously stopped. not to mention while trekking to camp 1, we got lost and took a seriously
LONG route so in the end lum told us where to go la. so we pitched our tents in the stuper
ULU place and ate lunch (i think) then we had to build the stupid raft which didnt pass the test though we
DID jump into the quarry and that was our bath for the day. oooh. forgot to mention. when we were walking to the place to build the raft, me & nat were making fun of ying cos we said she looked like a boy from the back & side cos of her hat. pfft. the quarry was my fave part of camp la. besides all the bonding and talking we had. =) and poor poor wangxun lost her glasses wqhen she jumped into the quarry. (throughout the rest of the time whenever someone asked her where her glasses were, she said they were slping at the bottom of the lake. so cute right?) oh and she didnt want to go in at first cos she thot lum was serious when he said that there were dead bodies ar the bottom of the quarry. right. so then we went back, pitcts properly and had dinner. maggie mee with seasoning & sausages. the sausages
ROCKED. right. oooh. then like a bunch of us(me aly crystal alex ying sarah nat) sat on the tarp after dinner and talked for like an hour after the instructions that ew were given for day 3. i finished telling sarah the whole story of poc and then i told aly that shayne knows samuel lim and she kinda freaked out. her voice went all squeaky (haha. so cute la), esp when i told her that they were both from rosyth. she thot he was from some cheenah school la. (he looks the type) so then me & ying spent majority of the time talking abt
BAD BOYS (which we love) with aly joining in for like the 2nd half of the conversation. i never knew she was
THAT boy crazy. i still dont see why she likes the pink shirt guy from let it shine (previous 7o clock chinese show). situ bi is way better la. and pyro
ROCKS la. (xmen 3) and she is super
DESPO. she told me and aly that she went for this tuition and then this hot guy sat opposite her and she kept staring at him la. super funny. aly and i were like bent over from laughing so hard. and we were going on abt how hot latino accents are(i was kinda refering to the spanish rap in boogie wonderland fromm happy feet and like latino guys from shows like cruz from coach carter). this was the part where sarah came into the conversation cos she
FINALLY realised that we were talking abt her fave subject. then stupid ying kept going to her tent & coming back cos she didnt want to slp alone. right. enough abt that. then abbie & jeannette slept in our tent cos theirs was infested with ants and with 6 ppl in the tent it was super stuffy. so around 10 something (i think) we went out and sat at the magellen tarp with the sentries and then moved to our own at like 1030. then alex came later when we were half aslp (i was aslp alr.) and then she like lifted my sleeve or something and she said i slapped her face. i thot it was a mosquito la. omg. haha. anw, then about 1140 the stupid karoke from johor came blaring over at us like. it was abt 1km away and the indian/malay music was so irritating plus it was techno & the guy singing was tone
DEAF i tell u. i thot it was the monastery at first cos the front part sounding like chanting. -.- so anw, the 5 of us who came out of the tent at first went back
INTO the tent cos 1. it was getting cold 2. the music & singing was pissing us off. so we
TRIED to wake dear alex who went back to slp despite the horrible racket. we spent like 5 minutes calling her name and gave up so we told katrina & felice who were sitting there to tell alex that we were in our tent. btw, i found out that kat kicked alex and no reaction from our slping beauty.
ANW, so alex apparently woke up in the middle of the night to wild dogs howling and scurried back into the tent. note. kat & felice had returned to their tents.
HAHA.
DAY THREEwent trekking back to camp 2 and then to camp 1. made up a
HUGE improvement from the previous day. we pitched our tents behind that blue structure outside the actual campsite with all the buildings and what not. we were with raffles though we were hoping to have nina utama with us instead. then we did the trust fall thing and the belay. lunch was
GREAT. it was the first decent hot meal we had and the drinks were good cos they were
COLD &
SWEET. then we did the vertical challenge next. it was the logs thing la. omgomgomg. me & sarah we seriously scared stiff la. thankfully we got the smaller logs. =) the pairs were me & sarah, jeannette & abbie, danielle & amanda, wangxun & anastasia. jeannette & amanda couldnt like make it to the toip cos their fear of heights is like really bad so danielle & abbie partnered each other when everyone else was done & made it to the top. they sat at the 6th log laughing & talking la. laugh so hard until the logs sway. stupid spastic ppl. and tingfang & geklynn were the
ONLY ppl in our grp to do the big ones. and i did the vertical challenge with the net too. erm. then we went to shower & we spent like an
HOUR inside the toilet waiting. i spent all my time talking to laura serene & a bit of mao. haha. dinner
ROCKED too. it was
HOT food and it was raining. btw, we spent all our time
PRAYING that it would rain so that we didnt need to slp in our tents. we were practically crying when it stopped raining la. tammie & i contemplated going to slp in the toilet and we told nat who looked like she wanted to cause an uprising and have our whole grp slp in the toilet which would be way dryer than our tents.
ANW, we ended up slping in the
MPH though it was still super cold but at
LEAST it was
DRY. then nat alex & sarah wanted to slp early so i went over to da gama to talk til magellen came then i went over there where i slept on shereen's stomach (it was super comfy la.) i went back to my grp later and woke up after an hour. me nat & sarah went huddling in the corner (alex was slping soundly
AGAIN) and ended up slping with mei-e's grp cos they were in the middle and it was warmer.
DAY FOURwent kayaking. that was basically it. and in the middle of the night one of the dogs rummaged through our things so our food was like half gone & strewn everywhere. so kayaking was fun. sarah & i managed to stay near the front though our boat was like attracted to roxanne & mei-e's boat cos we kept banging into them for no apparent reason. & we couldnt stand
SOME ppl screaming at us to keep to the left of them when they were supposed to be on
OUR left. stupid la. oooh. and we peed in the ocean. that was
BEFORE we found out that the water was infested with jellyfish. plus a fish jumped into yunqi's kayak and she didnt notice -.- fish jumped over ours too but they just hopped over. if it jumped it, i would have capsized the boat. so we paddled back to camp 2 and me & sarah, mei-e & roxanne, eryn & karina & subha hung around til we were the last few left in the sea cos we didnt want to carry everyone's kayaks. so
SMART right? then me & sarah tried to flood mei-e's kayak and we played with the jellyfish that one of the instructors caught. then we had to bring all the stuff back to camp, keep & wash the equipment & then eat dinner (maggie mee & cream of chicken plus mushrooms & sausages) i spent loads of time taking pics & we had to slp in the place opposite the kayak racks. halfway through the night i woke up and talked to karyn then to alex when karyn went back to slp & we kept laughing at aly who was running in her slp. later, nat woke up & me aly alex & nat went to the toilet where we went to slp. we found charm phua & lynn there. aly & alex left early so me & nat hung around and slept on the benches til like 5+ where we saw yus & shaf at 4+. they thot it was 6. how smart.
DAY FIVEthe wonderful day that we leave the island
FOREVER. yay. nothing much happened la. just packed everything up. oooh. i had crackers with tuna. i was sitting with ppl from nina utama (aly, crystal & karina) and they had tuna & i had like 12 packets of crackers so we pigged out. (later joined by beatrice, cheryl lim & shayne). it was quite good u know. then we went
HOME. that's obs. and im
FINALLY DONE.
