haha okay, i have got overdue updates. so i better get started. haha.
first up obs. was from the 17th to the 21st of november. haha yup thats how overdue my update in. anyway, my group was washington. it consisted of kuma, paolo, gabriel tang, nat, hannah, zhi yun, nicole, gina, wei rong, chang yi, hin kai, ben and chek kai. most of the time it was mainly me, kuma, paolo and gab who kinda hung out together and those 3 were my tent mates. haha. and i also made super lots of new friends and bonded with old ones! from mj there was siva, ragavan and wei rong. damn funny lah they. from cj there was paolo, gab tang, naren, zhi yun, pricilla, aloy mah, chris, khai to the usual group of kuma, glenn , bjorn, joyce, wilson, nat, aaron and all.
basically obs was the bombxx. first day we did high elements. me and gab tang climbed the rock wall together. it was scary shit but in the end both of us climbed to the top for the first time. we were sweating like dogs when we came down. second day we set off on our sea expedition at around mid day. kayaked to punggol jetty and camped there for the night. 3rd day we set off early morning at 8plus and headed towards the causeway. yup that bridge between singapore and malaysia. kayaked all the way to the causeway. left my hand print on the bridge pillar. it was some sense of achievement. kayaked back to sembawang in the rain. damn shiok. reach sembawang at 5plus and camped there for the night. on the 4th day we left sembawang and headed back to pulau ubin obs camp. was supposed to reach obs camp site at around 3plus but we came back 3 hours ahead of time! yay us! we became the first marine mobile to go to the causeway and back! that night had self cooked buffet. 5th day we did one more high element before heading back to singapore.
that was part one of my past 2 weeks. the day after i came back from obs, i had to leave for batam for ocip. the day started off badly enough, with the ferry rejecting our sponsored paints as dangerous cargo. therefore we were force to leave the paint behind. the hotel was shiok enough though. me, kuma, mike, sharidan and glenn bunked together in one room. after a very heavy lunch, (the bra finished 4 tubs of rice and bjorn went around other tables scavenging for more food. haha!) we went to take a look at the orpanage we were gonna be working on. the place was in a real bad condition. at first we had different plans of what we wanted to do to the place, but after mdm hanisah said they wanted the first floor painted, we decided to respect thier request. so after a super heavy breakfast on day 2, we bought all the paint we needed and went back to the place where the guys did the painting and the girls brought the kids out to play. we even had lunch with the kids. we also got the kids to leave their hand prints on one of the walls. the painting basically took up the whole time till 5 after which we left for shopping then back to the hotel. afew of us bunked in my room that night but i kinda zonked out xP haha. on the third day the girls set up the library corner while the some of the guys worked on the entrance curtain thingy. but we couldnt have set it up without the help of the 2 fellas who brought the wardrobe we bought for the orpahnage. the place looked really beautiful after everything was done. after some camwhoring we bid farewell to the kids and headed back to the hotel where there was a sharing session among classes over dinner. that dinner was the bomb! we had our own table buffet lah can xD haha. that night some crashed my room again and we played cards and stuff till me wilson carl mike and sharidan only slept at 5, and woke up at 7. haha. last day was basically shopping. and we got a thank you card for our awesome tour guide yanto. he was a damn nice guy. yup after that is back to singapore.
then came the 27th. went for some musical with aaron, kuma, bjorn, gwen, sharidan, fel, sam, and janani. and 27th was the happiest day of my life(:(: if you wanna know why come ask me yourself. haha xD
then 2 days ago was obs outing! kuma, paolo, joyce, wilson, pricilla, khairul, glenn, daph, bjorn and naren. made some new friends. all had steamboat at bugis. aaron joined us after that. fun bunch of people. talking cock and stuff. hope to go out with you guys soon!(:
