wheeee

i love Elizabeth!

Na its just my group name =P my group have little girls anyway hehe...

So i was back from a wierd/special 3 day OBS course.. wierd/special cos its requested by MHA or something, as part of a 6 day attachment... yes my group of 10 was called Elizabeth. in some way the course is really designed for us haha, and most of the activities we did it by ourselves without help from instructors... And we this 3 days, we did things that some 5 day courses wont get to do. cool huh! Also special, cos no one knew one another at all... There were students from every JC and NUS high. and i've nvr met someone for talk so fast and much (guy) and someone who is so blur but tolerant (girl) (90% of the time the group is laughing, we're laughing at her oops hehe) oh ya my group almost late all the time =P

Guess what was the first activity we had? BIG SPLASH!! The boat anchored a distance away from Ubin and we had to swim across wahahah... really suprising. Later on we went for cross expedition and had to navigate around with maps and compasses to find certain stuff. Sadly my group didnt find anything, but bashing through vegetation and spiderwebs is fun =) they expected us not to be "childish" to compare results and everyone somehow knew that teamwork was more important.

Then we set up tents and stayed there for the night. I have no idea what was in my mess tin for dinner. ( probably got mud and insects) but i just ate all the maggi noodles up hehe... After that we were made to navigate in rows in big tubes which were pitch black... literally cant see anything... we were randomly shuffled into 3 diff groups which start at diff points, and gather back into our own groups at a room where we can stand... not easy but we made it woo! feels quite helpless though :S

The next day we had sea expedition in kayaks! row row row, and we had salted food during our breaks! not that they're salted before, but ya wahahaha... i ate a salted prune, but it was quite disgusting :S On our way back, many started to become tired, and we started switching boats here and there so that everyone can progress! nice isnt it? everyone cared for one another =)

3rd day was climbing, where i knocked a little. but im fine, no needa bomb me with questions. I'll freak out >.> oh ya it was funny when we went to the souvenir shop. The girls waited for the guys while we shopped, instead of the other way round. They all didnt buy anything >.>

Overall learnt alot ba. Got to know new people and you realise the world seem so small haha. Its so interconnected. Some people are really really up there one, capable and stuff.. to call all 29 of usthey sometiems use the terms "scholars to be" funny man... anyway 1 guy was confident enough to say im eyeing for ____ scholarship haha... and he isnt a geek! hes a breakdancer from tj IP. (im surprised many of them arent hahahahaha) And his portfolio is kinda prepared since sec 3 in TJ, while commoners like a few of us start at J2 haha... Not directly saying sajc is bad la, but other school seems to have alot of opportunities open to them. many many attachments and competitions and programs lined up for them, until can reject some de...

But anyway after knowing them, im stil and even more thankful for getting the bookprize from SPF, even though its month ago. So many other capable people there, but some forgot, or wasnt really eligible. If everyone did sign up, chances of me getting is almost none haha... wa, thank God.

Good learning exp, would be good if the church send people down =P Can really bond people together!

Anyway today continued the 4th day with the Home Affairs department... went to visit the Traffic police, Secret Operation thing, and the Security Command. I get to hold a gun and fire a water cannon today! haha. oh ya traffic police dont have a quota to summon people and sometimes they summon their own people hehe... Real gunshots are really loud and you can feel it somehow. man, i miss tmr's prison visiting cos of NS check... zzz...

OBS felt like a fantasy island, and coming back was like... back to reality haha... besides chionging to wash all the "heavenly" smelling laundry, have to study... im not whining lol... And i'll stick to the phrase terry korkor gave me " I LOVE TO STUDY" yea whoo! i cant seem to attach the banana he gave me soo, nvm! back to reality!!!!!! (oh ya pray for him, i think he not well again!)

edit: and ill miss the food a OBS. buffet style and ITS GOOD!
