ok this shall be a super long post as predicted by me becos quite alot of things happened but as usual i'm just simply too lazy to post.
let's start off with 2 day sports carnival!
ok so there's this sporrts event for the disabled,
random/selected ppl who are NOT DISABLED go around in wheel chairs and they have this wheel chair race which went on from night till the next morning.
i wonder whether their arms wud break,
then they really become disabled.
ok jkjk im not sadistic.
1st day- inter pdp games, so vball havent really introduced the juniors to the team yet so yea we didn't take part.
temasek titans was also going on/
omg i see the teams do the log thingy i feel so sad for them lah.
it was damn xin ku but all we cud do is give them moral support.
so walked around and kaypo kaypo watch the pdp groups play against each other.
foosball is interesting! =D
yup so tt day was short, no lessons!
2nd day- inter cg games, now here's where i come in ahahaha.
well with other ppl of course.
me and my friends only signed up for captain's ball but in the end it was no harm going for other activities so we went for practically all the games.
firstly was frisbee, we were the only ta1 class tt took part,
so we played against ta2 classes and got bronze! not bad not bad.
initially we joined for fun but getting a medal wudn't hurt =)))
next was tug of war.
8 ppl per team.
once again we are the only ta1 class tt took part and we played against the winning ta2 class.
oh man how easy it was okay.
we won in just a short 5-10 secs?
but all thanks to the team (:
so we got gold!
partially becos got walk over bah.
another medal to my collection xD
so when we finally went for captain's ball and boy we got so pissed off okay.
we actually got walkED over becos we were playion tug of war.
so what now? we are considered the losers becos we were gone for another competiton?
so the ppl in charge mian qiang let us play wif a jc1 class.
like wth man we were supposed to play against TAs only and not JCs..
shit lah.
2 goals were not counted becos the shooter moved her feet by a mere 1cm or so.
total b-i-a-s-n-e-s-s.
yea and the game lasted for not more than 5mins?
what is this, seriously.
so they won because of the biased referee.
and we didn't get to play against other teams.
freak.
and we found out after we left tt another ta1 class got to play against a ta2 class.
like hello we were there earlier and what shit did she tell us.
we trained hard for the competiton and we got walked over just.like.that.
arrggghhh.
but looking at the 2 pretty medals we won makes me happy again.
so we ate pizza!
and we made a song dedication for tay shi ling -going crazy =D
so she and xiwen made one for us as well ((:
thank you guys <333
MOVING ON.......OBS pulau ubin!
day1- gathered in sch, took bus to pungol jetty then took ferry to obs camp 1.
we were randomly split into groups, or called watches.
each watch has one instructor and is abt 16 ppl.
MARSHALL MARSHALL MARSHALL. =D
yea so first day we did trust fall.
you stand on a thingy abt table height, then ur watch holds a tarpaulin lvl with the table,
then u fall back and they catch u.
the feeling is.. sssssssssssss. haha dunno how to say.
next was blade of grass. u just fall forward and backward and 2 ppl will catch u.
these 2 activies just requires trust among each other.
so after tt we learnt belaying.
well for those who nvr done it before lah.
but luckily last yr sports elec i took rockwall climbing so i know!
yea tt's abt all for day 1...
slept in bunks with disgustingly huge insects and mosquitoes.
day 2-
gathered at 5.55am for moning pt.
after tt we had kayak training.
once again for those who nvr did it before,
and we did capsize drill.
omg must purposely capsize the kayak then learn how to drain the water away and flip it over then get in again.
it's all in the sea....
and the water is dirty.
after tt we washed up and went to climb the inverse tower!!
aka adventure tower.
so did belaying for other ppl then me and chinhwee paired to do the inner obstacles.
we have this strap tt attcahes both of us together so we ahve to move together upwards.
yea and we did it fast! as compared to other teams who climbed it.
so proud of ourselves (:
yea so at 10.30pm the instructor came in our bunk and told us to go pitch our tents immediately.
'expect the unexpected' as quoted by him.
so we pitched it up in a pitch black foresty area then slept on the hard floor.
we didn't bring sleeping bags. yup.
day3- SEA EXPEDITION!
or shud i say kayak for the whole day around the island.
erm we took triyaks.
so is 3 ppl per triyak.
and we had to go through a muddy swamp halfway through the journey.
for ur info, we cant use our own water bottles, we have to use those 2litre bottles provided by them.
and trust me those bottles were used by ppl who came for this course before us and its disgusting.
but if u dun use it u'll just dehydrate.
firstly we had to gather at 5.55am for morning pt again,
then trekked from camp1 to camp2.
camp2 was muchmuchmuch more run down than camp1.
it looks totally like a deserted army camp.
got our triyaks, took our dry food rations,water bottles (4litres per person) then set off.
so row row row your boat rougly down the sea,
sadly sadly sadly sadly,
life is like shit.
yea so pedalling halfway back very pain, but still need to continue.
so we had to pull our triyaks over a road, then pedal along a river,
and along a swamp,
then pull our triyaks over a mud wall abt 2m tall.
yea and when we stepped into the mud ur legs are totally stuck.
pull any harder and nvr see ur shoes again.
and with great difficulty we climbed over the disgusting mud wall and got ourselves all muddy.
even the bottles were mixed up since they all looked the same and they were muddy too.
how to drink water leh?.
so we just have to live with another person's bottle.
ppl see urs clean they take. bloody hell.
so carry on in the swamp.
if we dun pass tt area in 3hrs, the water lvl wud become lower and lower then we wud eventually have to walk in the mud (which is impossible) and pull our kayaks to the sea.
but we didn't lah so finally reaching the big sea made me feel so happy.
but after tt i got abit sea sick, i almost jumped off the boat ok.
how to pee when ure urgent? simply jump off the boat and do it!
as quoted from the instructor again:
him:what is the colour of water?
us:blue
him:what is the colour of pee?
us:yellow
him:what does mixture of blue and yellow give you?
us: green
him:what is the colour of the sea now?
us: green
ok get it? haha it's nice logic.
so we almost dies pedalling for 6HRS straight.
we had lunch in our triyaks.
yea so upon reaching camp2 we were all relieved!
pitch tents, ready to do field cooking!
yea so cooked campbell soup, hard rice, sardines and anchovies.
i just ate sardine in bread and some soup.
time to sleep.
day 4- no morning pt! because instructor knows tt we're all tired.
today is LAND EXPEDITION.
so we have to put all our food and clothes blabla into the proffesional trekking bags tt they provided.
DAMN HEAVY. omg.
and its 2 ppl share one bag, so the bag is double heavy.
so the person who is not carrying the bag wud have to carry the tent and ground sheets and 8litres of water. (2 ppl's bottles)
so we have to meet 7 checkpoints around ubin, but because of time constraints we took one away so it became 6.
yea and trek through forests, walk through webs, walk on rocks, leaves, and all the funny stuff.
our shoulders and backs could just break. im serious.
whenever we take a break u can see numerous black and white stripped fat big mosquitoes feasting on your friend and yourself.
when we finally reached the destination- back to camp1
OH MAN I WAS DAMN HAPPY I COULD HAVE CRIED.
everyone was. because we were really hurting like mad we could have dropped dead halfway through the trek.
yea so this time we got to slp in bunks again!
day5- 5.55am MORNING PT..........T_T
BUT almost all the watches overslept becos everyone was darn tired after yesterday's land ex.
for marshall we woke up at 6.10 ahahaha.
no time for anything,
jump off the bed, wear ur shoes then head off for the parade ground.
lucky the instrictors nvr scold us or anything, no extra pt oso.
yayyy...
maybe they though tt it was our last day there so they didn't wanna torture us any further (:
had to clean up the bunks and all the equipment,
and place it back to where we got it from.
yea damn disgusting but we still did it.
we're going home!
and of all the days tt we were at ubin it nvr rained.
only when we were waiting for thee ferry to pick us up then got storm la walao.
maybe the rain god just doesn't want us to go home.... =/
anyway when it got smaller then we took ferry back lor.
now i miss ubin. haha.
bus back to school then chionged to kfc wif my fellow lovely ppl =D
talktalk gobble down the food.
kfc nvr tasted so gd before lol.
took mrt home, bathe SLEEP.
home sweet home.
i bought like one obs shirt and a nice notebook as souvenir.
then got 2 group photos of marshall and a certificate to prove tt i completed the course!
yayyyyyyy~~~
my dirty clothes stink. and i threw tt digusting pair of shoes away haha.
now im like BLACK and i got a funny tan at my feet because there's a hole in my shoes.
