Bo seng! Bo seng! Bo seng! Bo seng! Bo seng! Bo seng! That was our group name, and we had the BESTEST instructor of all - BOON WEE! Though we had to wash our own dishes/utensils, pitch our own tents, do everything by ourselves, I STILL ENJOYED THE WHOLE CAMP THOROUGLY :)
Day 1.
BORING DAY! Started off with icebreakers which were BORING, and our whole group kept complaining about how boring the camp was. Then it was practising of kayaking..
Day 2.
TIRING DAY! Went for land expedition in the afternoon. Trekked for like 3hours with our ultra heavy backpack. Eunice and I were navigators for the expedition, and we led them to the wrong pathway! (sorry guys! haha) Then we started sharing riddles/jokes to the group which apparently didnt really entertain them, singing songs like our school song and camp songs etc. It was very tough and tiring journey, but we managed to overcome it with encouragements from one another. The campsite was secluded, the toilet was 10mins walk away which couldnt be flushed. But that night was the funniest night of all. Poor Charmaine was trying to sleep while Eunice and I did leg exercises, irritated alot of people (lois, melissa, zhihao, and random people till they scolded us) and sang songs. It was fun :)
Day 3.
FUN DAY! :D Went for sea expedition in the morning. Though we kayaked for only 3hours+, I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. Our group was so crazy, kept splashing water onto one another and we didnt paddle when the rest of the groups were paddling. So in the end, they had to wait for us always. Hahaha! The funniest was when I switched partner to Addinu, and we purposely capsized. We made such a BIG scene, because ALL OF THEM were looking at us and the instructor scolded us cause we took so long to save the kayak. Haha! And then afer, the both of us went to save Zul and Eunice who capsized, and in the end we capsized AGAIN while trying to save them! Hahaha! And then, the both of them tried to push themselves up to the kayak and they both CAPSIZED AGAIN! Hahahaha. It was so hiliarious. And while Addinu and I were in the sea, I accidentally kicked his leg and shouted 'oh shucks! (an exclaimation)". And Addinu was so scared because he thought there was a SHARK. Hahahah! So we reached the campsite and we did high elements. I did rockclimbing first which was alright, then did snake&ladder with Charmaine which was SO SO SO SO TIRING! My arms hurt like crazy, and I wanted to cry once while doing it because I really had no strength to push myself up. In the end, I did it and was I so glad to reach back to the ground. Sorry Charmaine for making you wait for me, haha!
Day 4.
FUN DAY! There was cheerleading compeition in the morning which our group apparently didnt win. Then we played some games and friendship dance among the cohort. I guess that was when we all really bonded together as a cohort :) Then after, we had this YJC challenge whereby we had to play games. And the games were actually fun! There was a game whereby 16 people had to jump over a looooooong rope for 8 consecutive times. At first, our group couldnt even do one together. But after awhile, we managed to do it and all of us practically JUMPED FOR JOY after completing the 8th jump. :) After games, 5 people from each group are to go rafting with other group members. And me, karsandra, addinu, zul and clement went. It was FUN! Our main objective was to make the raft capsize and sink, but we failed! Hahaha. We werent even helping much in paddling, but instead trying to make one side of the raft sink. And once, addinu just purposely drop into the water to push the weight of the raft down, but it still failed. Oh well, it was fun anyway cause we play with seawater after rafting :) Then after, the five of us got crazy and started using the whistle from jetty to our bunk, and we kept blaming clement! Hahaha! Super hilarious, people might have hated us when we were doing that. Ahah. Our last night was spent stargazing with weeeeeeeee and he taught us a number of things about stars. And while I was sharing a joke with them, there was a shooting star! And i missed it! Oh well.. So we went back to our tents, and our tent and zul's tent kept laughing and laughing at no particular reason. Mata mata! Yamateh!
Day 5.
There were no activities, but only cleaning up and packing up. Still, it was FUN :D A group of us were supposed to wash the groundsheet, and we started playing water again! Each one of us got dunked into the water one by one, and whenever mata walked past, we pretended to be washing the groundsheet. And when weeeeeee walked by, he was dunked too! Heh heh. So we just played with water the whole time. After that, all of us met up at the MPH to play our last game and learn our cheer. And then OBS ended ): All of us gave weeeeeeee a bear hug when he left, and I felt so sad upon doing that! Then when the boat left, we shouted how much we love him and thanked him. He was a really great instructor :) I really love the group of us alot, together with weeee ):
And know what, I didn't know i was so emotional till today! When the boat left, me and eunice were super sad that weeeeee was no longer with us. Because he felt like a family member to us. So we started crying in the boat! And while crying, we also laughed because we thought about how stupid we were laughing. And while laughing, we thought about how fun the camp was. Arrrrr, and i'm missing the camp so much now! It's the camp that really bonded us together as one FAMILY. It's the camp that gave us so much WONDERFUL memories together. It's the camp that brought so much joy and laughter into our class. It's also the camp that brought YJC so much closer together.
My only wish for us right now is that all of us would still be as bonded as how we were back there in OBS. :)
