OBS was quite fun, although the weather was quite bad. Most of the days were raining, and as we were sleeping in the tents, we had to drain out the water in the tent... the activities were fun, eg: kayaking,hiking, cooking dinner ourselves, alot more... yeah. 1st day we went to OBS, didnt do anything, just self introduce ourselves to the instructor. Then came the 5 days of food being brought to us in a big plastic container. Mostly it was filled with biscuits, bread, milo powder, isotonic powder (orange coloured, so i think its orange flavoured.) and afew cans of food, then more bread and more biscuits... the rest of the 4 days of breakfast and lunch, we were surviving on bread and biscuits and milo powder. Of course there's sample food for dinner in the plastic container like rice and instant noodles... well, spent the 1st day's afternoon slacking, sitting around doing nothing.. in the evening, went to pitch the tents and then came dinner, cooked the rice and opened some cans of food... rice tasted bad... haha, cooked for some time and it still was very very hard, but time was running out, so just had to live with it.. yeah.. haha, so after dinner had some night activity and then came the debriefing of the 1st day. It was quite short as nothing was done, yeah, nothing much at least.
2nd day had more activities, our instructor taught us how to kayake, all the basic stuff yeah... sso just refreshed my memory... haha, so after the dry theory lesson, came the practical lesson. It was fun, yeah seeing everyone try to know how to kayake properly, and it was quite funny too.. haha. Kayaking took us like half the day and the rest of the day we just did some dry activity... yeah, then pitched up the tents again and then ate instant noodles, didnt bother cooking the rice anymore.. no one wanted it anyway.. haha.. so that ends the 2nd day...
After a short night, 3rd day came when we started our kayaking expedition to the other OBS camp, the nicer looking, with advanced technology and stuff.. yeah.. kayaking was fun, through the mangrove trees, the mud and much more.. yeah... fun fun, then when we went into the open sea, it started raining, and then came the test... rain was getting heavies every moment, and waves were getting bigger and bigger, everyone just started kayaking as fast as they could, against the current and finally we reached shore... It was exhausting for many of us, but fun... We thought it was the end of it, as it was raining very heavily and thought that there was no way to hike to the other camp, but the instructors told us to get ready to set off... With our heavy backpacks strapped to our back, other stuff in our hands, we hiked to the other camp... it was very tiring as the bag was really very heavy.. Finally we reached the other camp... started to pitch our tents and bathe and get ready for a nice dinner at the cook house... Dinner camp and we were enjoying our food when it rain very heavily, we thought we didnt need to sleep in our flooded tents and hoped not to, but it stopped soon after and we again had to dry our tents... Well, could say that we had a good sleep as everyone was tired...
The next day, we hiked back to the base camp where all our stuff was, and when we reached there, we started to unpack our things and load it up into the store so we dont have to rush the next day... well, the last day came and yeah, everyone was happy, trying to finish the food which seemed as though they kept on coming... well, everyone was rushin the last day to find all the things that were missing... well, after we breaked our of camp... rushed back home, had a good shower and went to church to have practice... after practice, went to have supper with afew of the church people, yeah had some good time with you.. haha.. fun, fun... it was great and sadly, time passed so quickly...
Saturday was PTL, it was fun though i couldnt wake up, too tired from OBS... yeah, in the end went church around 1.50pm? haha yeah, had the last rehearsal before the event and yeah it was ok.. so came the event.. it was good as churches came to lead the congregation into worship... was really good... after that had a good dinner and went home... sunday was ok... cant say it was that good, because of what a friend of mine did... dont really bother to remember it, dont even want to think about it anymore...
well two days have passed this week and its tiring... probably because i had sea competition.. yeah... was ok... just had sunburn... painful, i must say... yeah... oh well, just received the medal for 2nd placing in the cutter pulling competition and my 2nd Sgt rank! finally... haha... oh well i guess the fatigue must have also been from the OBS, didnt have a proper rest every since the previous week.. but guess tomorrow i'll try to sleep as much as possible.. haha...
You have been really great to me... and i thank you for it... when i need you, you're there... thank you for helping me forget all my troubles... really appreciate it... had some good time with u, but time did pass quickly when i was with you... guess, time passes quickly when you're enjoying it... wished i could spend more time with you, although it seems hard to.. but i'll try to... but its all in God's hands isn't it... haha, thanks for everything...
That wraps up this rather long post... yeah.. haha... after a long day... a long week, at least there was some good things that happened... :)
