You cannot discover new oceans,if you don't
have the courage to lose sight of the shore.Hey hey hey! I'm back from 5 days OBS course! Miss me? I got tons of stories to share with you guys! Yknow,I really hate camps! Especially OBS. But this time around,this year OBS make me think twice about camps. The OBS I attended from 21/06/2010-25/06/2010 was a leadership camp but to me it was like a survivor camp.We have to carry stuff to and fro the hill or whatnot. It was tiring yknow! I measure my calves muscle and was glad that it didn't increase:) And we didn't get to wash our hair for 3days!! 3 days! So the 4th day when we get to bath,I scrub my hair like never scrub before. Haha! Okay,so Jurongville population was the largest among all school that attended. The course was split into two groups:Camp 1[bravo&alpha] and Camp 2. Camp 1 bravo,there 4 watches:Kurt,Bo sing/seng(?),Marshall&Munshi. And I'm in the MUNSHI watch! My instructor was Nicholas. [God,I love that group so much!] My watch consists of 16 people:Zulhaffeq,Pei Qi,Amirah,Yun Mei,Wilna,Pei Xin,Umairah,Seanna,Li Ting,Hui Xin,Elvis,Terrence,Shefah,Habshah,Quraisyah plus myself.
So Camp 1 was the sea/water expedition. Means we have to kayak for 3days straight! Guess who is my kayaking partner?!! It was Muhammad Al-Afiq Bin Hamzah! On Tuesday,we have to kayak from our campsite which is Pulau Ubin to Punggol for abour 3 hours. Than we slept there. Than on Wednesday,we have to kayak from Punggol to Sembawang for about 6 hr plus.And it was raining! Than after we reached Sembawang,we caught in a thunderstorm but all of us able to make it safe to the shelter there.When we slept at Sembawang,it was so freaking cold! Than on Thursday,we have to kayak from Sembawang back to our campsite for about 3 hrs. On Thursday,Afiq&I changed place. I sat in front and he sat at the back. And he bullied me! Hmph! After kayaking,we showered than afterwards,Munshi and Marshall have to one height element,which is Flying Fox! It was damn high I tell you! When we reach on top,after climbing the flight of stairs,we have to stand at this particular step and when I look down,I swear it was damn high! When Nicholas asked me if I'm ready or not,I said no. And he keep telling me its gonna be okay,that he's gonna be here.[aww..] And he asked me again if I'm ready or not,I nodded and he let go of me. And tadaa! I'm flying! I shout mummy when I launched off than I laughed like one mad women! Than I kept quiet and enjoy the pretty scenery. So when I reached at the end,I asked the other Instructor,Can I go again? And he ignored me-.- So on Friday,there's this game or whatnot called:Solo. We have to spend 30 minutes sitting on the corner by ourselves to reflect everything. So for 20 minutes I wrote down on my journal like I'm writing a compo. Than after that I think about LaLa Land. Hah! When it's time to sat down in circle to share about what we think for 30 minutes. So I told my teammates plus Nicholas:I think about who I really am underneath and how this course has changed me. Oh yeah,I forgot to mention that I found my so called "soul sister" at the course. Her name is Mai. We both have lots of things in common. And we both even watched sunset together with Haffeq. When it's time to say goodbye,I cried my entire hearts out! I can't stop crying till I reached Punggol. This year OBS course has leave a really big impact on me.(: I never regret going.
