Outward Bound Course {: ; 10:54 AM
Outward Bound Singapore!
My watch was Nila Utama!PHS: Alwyn/Changhui/Paulyn/Chelsea/Gerald/MichelleKwok
(Before the camp I was telling everyone that I'm always grouped with Changhui lah, and ta-da! So spot-on la!)
Canberra: Fatin/Shahwar/Praveen/Atiqah/Liyana/Tzuquan/Terrence
Northbrooks: Regina/Yusiang/Fadil
Instructor: Haizulruldin! :D
Arrived at the Punggol Jetty after picking up
Haoweng/Daniel/Michelle at Admiralty/Yishun in the morning! Then saw dogs already *#&%*&*#&$()@*($*)!*)_!
Then PHS was the only school that has arrived, we thought that there were no other people lah, turned out that their sch got $$ to send them there in buses -.-
Boarded the OBS boat and ta-da, we were there! Hahaha, then we did a introduction to our 3 teachers:
MeFriendsMother NatureSplit into watches and introduced ourselves, blablabla (Usual campstuffs la), then went to our watches' store and checked equipment! Then they rationed food to us (they gave us enough packed food to last our lunches and breakfasts during the 5days).
There were 2 F&B ICs (Fatin/Shahwar), 2Logs ICs (Yusiang/Fadil), Medic (Changhui) and 2 Day ICs (Terrence/Praveen). If you notice, none are from PHS cept Changhui as all of us PHS are slackers from Day1! HAH. Went for belaying lessons and learnt how to pitch tents (we everyday pitch/unpitch non-stop lah!) Then we had a firedrill at night and went to sleep around 10.30.
Btw, there was this Instructor called Samuel who has this veryveryvery fake slang lah, (english) and Changhui calls him the slangster! The instructors there were super nice, trained to train us and they can tell you stories without reading from anything! Super professional! They are full-time trainers who spent 5/7 days in PulauUbin per week!
Over the next 2 days had our HighElements/Kayaking Lessons. The HighElements was rather easy and paired up with Regina(Northbrooks) and finished it rather fast! Kayaking lessons were the capsize drill/rescue drills, this time with Regina too!
Day 3's Sea Expedition was also great with mostly PHS leaders leading the whole mobile of NilaUtama, Raleigh and MarcoPolo! Justin was Navigator, Clara/Isaac (Backsweeper), Gerald/Paulyn(Portside Sweeper)! Well, I was a pro then lah, keep on saving people from tree branches (Heidi&Regina's friend especially!) HAHA! Then keep doing stern rudder till I nearly die from exhaust -.-
Saw alot of Noob kayakers who show-off alot lah, no action just talk. Laoya. HAHA.
Day 4 was the LandExpedition! Michelle and I were the leaders. Never really did anything cause didn't know how to read graph maps so I was helping Tzuquan carry the 8 water bottles! {:
Day 5 was superslack, did store check and then went around taking pictures!
Hereby wanna thank Fatin/Shahwar for always helping us with the cooking/F&B stuffs without complaints! Super patient and nice people! And to Praveen/Terrence for being such great map readers! Hehs, and then to everyone for making this watch a successful one! (we were leading everything lah, we did things super fast than other watches! Thus had many freetime!)
