Tuesday, July 18, 2006:OBS
just came back from obs camp. yup, i had a lot of fun!!! cos my watch/ group is damn fun and happening.

it all happened on the 1st day of the camp. while waiting for instructions and the boat to bring us to ubin, anthony started by telling cold lame jokes. that started the fire of all lame jokes and we juz bonded together. also, i din know the overseas scholars well who were in my group before the camp. so this camp is juz great. 1st day, the key thing was climbing logs, rockwalls etc. wif buddy and played some team games. i felt a tad disappointed that i did not achieve anything or climb up anything cos my partner Fran could not climb up. she kept apologising to me but i felt that it was ok. i thought i din do a good job either cos if i were really good then i could help her overcome it. juz felt damn bad.

2nd day:
the guys juz continue to talk cock and joke around. the major thing on that day was kayaking. in the morning, was reallie touched when zhixian gave me a seashell and asked me to take care for the day. felt that he reallie cared and i felt rejuvenated. he claimed that i cheered him throughout the whole climbing thing the day before and he heard it and did not give up. it was quite tough for him cos he is quite short (oops haha) if not he would have climbed it. felt happy. haha. anyway, the highlight was kayaking. around 60 people kayak together from sea to swamp and back to sea. reallie enjoyed myself. din apply sunblock but wanted suntan so applied sun tan lotion. the sun was super strong and i got burnt instead. hahaha. and clarence scolded me dumb for doing that. hahahaha. dun care lahz. have fun can liao. then we stayed overnight in outfield. felt quite sian cos it feels like army all over again. this time wif gals and i am civi clothes.

3rd day:
went to hike. the gals were our navigators. they did a wonderful job and i am reallie proud of them, seriously. cos i think this is the 1st time they are carrying a heavy load and trekking. love our group's dynamics where we juz talk cock, share stupid jokes and everything. anthony infectious laughter is farnie too. the guys are juz crazy. haha. felt demoralised cos we cld not find a few obstacles. but all in all, it is a fun experience.
earned 500 points from the hike. the points or credits is supposed to be used to buy stuff in building a free-standing, self firing mechanism to fire an egg. the team who shoots the furthest and doesnt crack the egg wins. our team was damn funnie. we had 20 min to design before buying the stuff. we cld stll talked rubbish and till the last min den finalised what we wanted to buy. den when we got to the manufacturing of the machine. we were still having fun. the guys lah. the gals were busy protecting the egg, and they did a good job too. at the last 5 min, we were still playing and tried to catapult an orange instead. it din work obviously cos the mechanism was meant for small objects. so it was damn funnie seeing the orange leaping in different directions. but the thing is we shot the furthest!!!! muahaha. it was so funnie. we were joking and stuff but we still produced a neat piece of work.
and 1 more thing: staying in the same bunk as the gals is also a learning experince for me. n i learnt it the hard way. when we came back from the hike, i forgot that i was not at home or in camp, i juz stripped of my long pants in the bunk and sheryl saw! hahah. felt so maluating and even tho she din see much and she felt ok. i still felt paiseh and bad. hahhahahhaa.

juz love my watch. Nehru, u rox! a special group i muz say.
PS: thank u Jake! he was the one who saw my burnt face and offered to lend me his moisturiser. i said ok but din bother to go to look for him to get it. he actually brought it to me and i felt reallie grateful. really touched.
DArius is an emotional person lah... haha.
