I LOVE OBS I DO I REALLY DO!

yes i'm back from OBS and i'm feeling a total opposite from my pevious post.
i miss it really badly.
my group is nice, okay only 3/4 nice, but still.
and i feel weird sleeping in air con.
feel weird waking up on a nice bed.
feel weird not being yelled at.
feel weird not doing things within a time limit.
feel weird with a nice toilet.
feel weird without seeing my watch mates.

): i guess that's what OBS has done to me and i miss it really bad.
like how i missed china when i was back.
now it'll take me about a few weeks to get over it.horrible.

yeah anyway, i really love HILLARY(:
even though i hated it during then but i guess it was more fun then bad.
my watch members:

EVELYN
NADELYN
MELODY
YUN RU
ME
LUM
ALVIN
DARYL
GUHANESH
BRANDON
CLEMENT
BRYAN
ANDREW
GORDON
JIASEN

oh and it was funny cause the first day morning, daryl and i were wondering what would happen if we were in the same group.
and we were! so hahaha quite funny.
but thankfully he was if not i would die.

and and and, it didn't go well for almost the whole time,
cause the slackers in our group really can drive me nuts.
but i wouldn't mention them anymore cause it'll make me go all angry rmbereing it.
so shall just remember all the nice and fun parts(:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 1
it was boring we didn't so anything ecept for administrative stuff.
then we learnt how to belay and we took our watch's photo.
OHH and we learnt how to pitch tents it's fun.
by the way, the other guys in the group are really horrible.
we were split into buddy groups so we got seperated with jess.
but anyway i had choo, mag,lisa, wax, evelyn.
which isn't too bad either.

DAY 2
we did nothing.
partly because of the horrble storm.
and when the groups 1-4 started hiking we were still having breakfast.
so the whole day, we waited for the rain to subside then we got into our kayaks.
and we only peddled like 45mins to camp 1.

thats why i said thankfully daryl's in my watch cause i can partner him(:
and evelyn was happy too cause she could partner alvin(:
and not some other weak pals who refuse to work.

so we reached there and pitched out tents and had fresh dinner!
then we sat down to pack for next day's hike.
that was when i started to miss everyone else.
cause i haven't seen them for so long, it's so weird.

DAY 3
omggg this is the day it started to get fun(:
we did our heigh elements course with Junko whih is mag's grp.
and i only did 1 element out of 3.
but i sort of reached the top and i'm proud of myself.
cause we didn't have the time to do the other elements.

and i was really impressed by liu's arm's strength.
h's so freaking strong he pulled his way up the logs.
if you all get what i mean,

OHHH and i learnt a VERY VERY important lesson: TRUST your BELAYER.
i'm sure daryl learnt his too.HAHAHA.
cause he was my belayer.
and i was going mad up there he refused to let me down.
and when he let me down he didn't go down smoothly.

then i got a heart attack halfway i really got shocked.
he said OMG HOLD TIGHT THE ROPE GOT STUCK.
i was huh omg huh huh how.so embarrasing to the maxxxx.

anyway then i dangled when i was like 10cm above ground
cause they wouldn't let me down.
it hurt so bad i had many many rope burns all over.

after that we went for our hike and it was THE WORST.
i mean really cause the guys are so weak,
and they whine so bad i bet daryl was boiling when he was leading.
so evelyn and i just lugged everything and kept silent throughout.
cause the more we talk the more exhausting it gets.
and i'm glad we reached, and surely it's one of the most unforgettable.

like the night spent at jelutong with ourselves all powdered,
and oreos, and the cooking, the noodles eveything.
it's fun even pitching tents got fun.
omg i'm starting to get very very OBS sick.

DAY 4
i really really think it was the BESTEST day.
cause we had our kayaking expedition!
though our limbs and neck and shoulders were all aching from the land ex.
but really it was fun.
and i partnered daryl again but we switched after that, near the end.
so i was with aaron for awhile and lum also.

first part was scary.cause daryl and i were both v v exhausted.
like we didn't talk and stuff.
and like the weather was really horrible.
it felt like we didn't move at all, cause the curent and wind was all against us.
and we couldn't kayak tgt properly somehow.

but after awhile it was okay cause i guess the sun was gone.
then we breaked and ate then it got better.
and seriously we ate the mosttt.he eats every minute.
and soon it was super super fun cause of some crazy speed racer thing.
like when we had to go super fast cause of the storm that was coming.

yeah and everything in between was fun and good and too long to type out.
like guhanesh's little butterfly and lum's beat boxing O: SHUCKS.
so anyway lesson learnt that day for Hillary was:
LIFE IS MORE IMPT THAN CRACKERS.
thats because daryl took like 10 mins to catch his drifting cracker,
and left me in the sea to float away.hahaha quite dumb.

overall was superbly goooooooodypantsss!
and we actually reached half an hour earlier than expected,
even though we set off like 1 hour late? i think.
yeahhhh and we had a V V V V V GOOOOD BATH(:
of ONE HOUR(: (: (:
and also had a V V V V V V V GOOOD DINNER(:
of curry chicken, instant noodles, cambell soup, and like alottt.
i think daryl is a cracker freak.he can survive on that forever.
oh and william was so funny, he was crapping his way throughout.
like telling us how much he miss our GB clique whatever lr.ahha,

DAY 5(last day)

it was saddddddddd): we had final debrief and stuff, packed up.
and did trust dive, which involves some commitment thing.
then we bought souvenirs and got ready to go home.

reached school had lunch and cabbed home to sleep.

NOW

a fever.
a sore throat.
