Hello!
I'm going to blog a short one and maybe go into detail about OBS tomorrow or something but right now I'm really quite tired from (last minute) researching for my chem thing tomorrow and doing the ppt for service tomorrow (which by the way, the songs are LOVE yay I love Hope of All Hearts :D)
ANYWAY OBS was a really great experience and I had the best time with my beloved group
MAGELLAN :) Cooking maggie mee and sardines and stuff with solid fuels and bricks in the dark, pitching tents in the weirdest places (we slept in a valley, block 5, in the middle of a jungle near camp 1, and on the top of a hill that had 101 steps leading up to it, yup, all four nights!).
We kayaked for 16km for about 5+ hours straight from camp 1, all the way to this island on the other side of Pulau ubin, where we made one big turn, stopped for lunch by rough-tubbing in the middle of the ocean while catching food our instructors tossed out to us, and then proceeded to kayak back to camp 2 where we sang High School Musical songs like "I want fabulous!" or "We're all in this together once we know who we are we're all stars and we see that" and having Dilys impersonating Mrs Chong and her queer life stories HAHAHAHA laughed until I almost capsized hehe.
We walked for about 6 hours too? For about slightly less than 10km, according to Chloe, with backpacks that weighed so much you couldn't sit down and stand up to lift it up because you would simply NOT BE ABLE TO STAND UP and how we all had to hunch our backs because if we kept our backs straight, our bags were heavy to the extent that we would fall backwards. We sat under a hut and talked about random things and told stories and jokes and riddles while waiting out the rain, went to the highest point in Pulau Ubin, and walked and walked and walked but it was pretty fun we were singing songs! Went alphabetically!
And I learnt so much from OBS that I can't learn in my bio textbook (HAHHA I said this in like group sharing and my friends were all "NERRD NERDDDDD") and stuff and its really a great experience, no matter how much I wanted to go home during the course of it, how negative I could be at certain points in time. There was so much to take back and it wasn't just great memories, and I loved my groupmates so much, Magellan is so awesome, it was a great time on a whole and I was sort of disappointed to leave, at least until I got home and smelt my ahma's cooking, took a fresh shower in hot water in my clean toilet and started talking to jiejie YAY.
HAHAHAHA when the bus we were in came back to school I had my darlings waiting for me and when they saw me on the bus they screamed so loud I could hear it from inside the bus and Magsim who was on the bus, scolded them HAHAHAH I love you guys Reenah, Wong, Lizzo :) And Wong for carrying my duffel bag down to the bus stop for me YAY. Had a short SL meeting too!
My rashes and mosquito bites are itching like mad and I want to go to bed have got the Chem Facts and Fantasies thingum tomorrow oh wellz get to see Wong and Aang the two dodoheads!
OH OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN DARLING who was always there for me to help and to talk about really random things and I LOVE YOU (: AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KEREN SWEETIE the most adorable girl on earth and whom I missed so much during OBS teehee I LOVE YOU! (:
