ahhh!! JUNKO rocks! came back from OBS on sat and started missing my watch. e 5 days in pulau ubin were so fun! btw our wish came true! we were in mobile!! we kayaked, hiked [with stupid heavy HEAVY bag] for more than 7km uphill downhill rocky paths, swam in quarry, jetty-jumped, rocked climbed.. bla bla bla the list goes on.. first day went slowwwly.. we learnt some knot tying and belaying [they got a different way] and we cooked maggi noodles for dinner.. harhar.
first night was the most terrible. first this bunch of marist stella guys kept running out of their tents at night and complaining that they kept hearing a lady singing.. then this girl starting crying so loudly.. they got my watch's instructor cy up to the slping area and cy told them to move their tents. at first we couldnt hear anything then i heard it. there was a lady singing- but it didnt sound creepy at all. it did keep me up most of the night tho esp lk 2 or 3 plus the singing got really loud. turned out that the singing was from some karaoke session in malaysia!! so dot dot dotZz
2nd day we packed our stuff into this tatkna bag tt they provided in their storerooms [reaaally heavy] and put them on a boat. then we kayaked to our next campsite.. [i got my sunburn from tt 3 hrs! it hurt-ed so much..] this very rocky place at the seaside.. pitched our tents there. tt night slept very early but there was still the singing!! did not bathed tt day and my hair nvr felt so.. strangly and sticky! :( -cos of all the sea activities tt day.
3rd we carried our heavy bags to this quarry. we built a raft and had a water challenge with dagamma and then swam in the quarry! the water is so clear u can see ur body underwater.. i love the quarry.
aft tt changed into dry clothes [no toilets- made do with a poncho] and then ate lunch and were briefed abt our hike. aft tt carried our really heavy bags and set off! gd thing cy taught us how to transfer the weight of the bag frm the shoulders to hips or i think my shoulders wld have broke..
finally we reached the next campsite [the obs residential campsite] at ard 6 plus or so.. went to eat provided dinner at the canteen! then pitched tents.. i think we were one of the last few to arrive so our slping area was the furthest away.. very dark and quiet but i slept the best of all the 4 nights! i think i only woke up once. and tt night wasnt cold!
4th day we did jetty jump first thing in the morning.. this one's much shorter than the one at nat camp then we swam back to shore and bathed!! haha.. finally my hair felt good. then we ate breakfast, unpitvhed tents and did high elements, rock climbing..
then at 4 plus set out back to campsite 2! this time it only took us 20mins and we had no break in between. hahah..
tried to cook all our left over foods on the last night and ended up waiting very very long for the rice to be cooked. last night i rained very heavily and many of their tents were flooded so they got us to move to the mph to slp. this really taught me a lesson. it.was.so.so.cold.
last day did the admin stuff lk clearing the stuff in the storeroom then cy gave out certs and we went to buy the obs shirts! so qiao tt ml, jas and i all bought the same shirts without discussing. then ghis and pat came and bought the same shirts as us.
then it was time to say goodbye. so sadd. i miss junko! cos we are unique and just.. different from the others. anw junko is pronounced JOON-KO and not junk-o. hahah.
