5th December 2006 Tuesday
Today is the real start of our OBS. Activities start today. We woke up at near 6.30. Our ASSEMBLE TIME!!! Thus... we are late. Our instructor Aza and Chu Ai were already waiting for ages. We only manage to fall in at around 7.15am. Omg...1st day and we r late. Guess wad our instructors do to us? He didnt reprimand us, instead he told us this... Its not the time that he lost, but the time we lost. That very true. If we drag the time, at the very end we are that ones that are at lost. Cos we do not get the time to do that activities we wanted to do. Lyk that activities we are going to do, Kayaking.
The expected time we are going to start the activities was 8am, but instead, we start at round 8.30am.Cos We have do our morning circle, and play our morning games. And we did someting not every camps have. We wrote our camp journal everyday.
Then at 8.30am we finally saw the kayaks. 1st we do some elementary for the benifits of those who do not knoe how to kayak and we prepare everyting we need to board the kayak, like our LUNCH (haas we gotta eat on kayak) becos all our meals at OBS were all dried food so its quite already. Thus we set sail near 12nn.
But before we really set sail to go around ketam island, we gotta do our last drill, the TX rescue. Its use when any kayak capsize in the open seas. I and my partner, Zul, was the sweeper, meaning the last kayak to left no man behind us. Finally we set sail. The view was spectacular i can say. But very sad, i do not have my phone with me... After kayak for 4hrs, we finally reach our campsite. We were still ahead of time. Thus, Aza gave us a "bonus" - Jetty Jump.... Haha... we got to jump from the jetty, and shout out wad or who u missed most in Singapore. It was very terrifying. It was then low tide, sea level was low cos it was full moon season, sea level varies very much. It was lyk 2-3 stories high, i was very very scared. haha... but seeing so many friends that had jump and still survive, i gave it a chance. i was standing on that platform, looking down. Feet wobble. I DUN WAN TO JUMP.. haha.. but act man la, i still jumped... that moment was lyk decades. haha... i DID it!! Woot... so happy... haha... when we saw a green snake lyk thingy in the water... i dunno was that... but i think no harm la... cos the instructor also say its nothing...so we continiue... thn that was someone that jumped, that some fishes jumped up of the water surface... its was very fun and enjoyable...
Then we had our dinner. Same outdoor cooking. But we had better food. We had instant noodle and cambell cream of chicken. Yummy! But there was alot of left over food. Thus we got to bury them under the sand... There were stray dogs surroundin us le, its was our sleeping areas too, so we gotta keep it very clean... But we were so enjoying our food that we forgotten the time again! We got another activites also to complete and we were delaying again. We can see Aza was very very angry with us le... but he donot wan to give us bad memory thus he didnt scold us... So nice huh?
Our next activites was night walk... we gotta walk in to forest together and walk back ALONE IN THE DARK!!!! WITH NO TOUCH LIGHT ON!!!! Wahx... scary.... SAve ME!!!then we walk out of the campsite. It was VERY VERY dark... imagine walking in the woods alone... die liaox... ahhh... then after around 5mins walk we reach a point... the instructor stop.. we all have to gather at that point... then one by one we set off... i was the second last one.... NOOO... haha... thn in the middle Ks caught me... haha... but we didnt walk together... that was a point whereby it looks lyk there are 2 roads, one it was correct one and another was a slope...go down i dunno wad will happen...
But still i completed it... thats was happen on day 2...
