Wymer, Gerald, Tenghui, Zhuting, Chelsia, Kangning, Jiajie, Shanna, Meixuan, Fangying, Gina, Theresa, Leon, Graci, Me, VC and Wenxin. ;D With our certificates.

Before setting off to Punggol Point Jetty, I met Gina and Huiling at White Sands for Macs. After which Huiling's dad sent us to the jetty.

First Day
AHS people got separated into 3 groups- Marco Polo, Bettuta and Livingstone. Marco Polo's instructor was Theresa, who has been super nice and tolerant towards us throughout the course. :) Did trust fall, belaying and did some knots. Pitched our tents and cooked our dinner at Sunrise Valley. Graci and I were like scooping and scooping the rice so that the bottom wouldn't chaotah but the rice didn't really turn out nice. :s Hahaha. Oh btw we ate a bun with our arms interlocked which was pretty cool. :)

Second Day
Learnt the basics for kayakking (or kayaking?). Did capsize drill. My kayak partner was Graci :) and our buddy kayak was KangNing and Wymer omgggg died man. We were unsuccessful for like 3 times because we kept laughing and all Wymer did was peel oranges because he was tired/lazy. HAHA. It was fun still! :) Then kayaked to Camp 1, which ,i must mention, is the best ever!!! Mainly because they provided us with proper food and drinks. :)

Had night walk. The managed to scare me just by saying "remember, you are the intruders of the forest" O.o okayyyy. Haha but we did our night walk quite early so it was pitch black like it was supposed to be. Walked the path alone.. I was trying to catch up with Fang in front but i scared her with the shuffling of my feet. Hahaha. Thanks Chelsia for exchanging positions. :)

Third Day
Did high elements. Twas quite draggy at first lah when we did the dry run thing. It was really scary you know! Suspended midair and completing an obstacle.

Started late for our Sea Expedition but reached our destination on time. Must thank Jiajie and Gerald eh. :) For being the Sea Exp I/Cs. Kayaked for 3 and a half hours but it felt like half an hour or sth. Fangying was my partner and thanks babe the kayak was possessed. Reached the campsite which was a total turnoff. No lights, no toilets, no nothing. The only thing that we really enjoyed there was Quarry Dip. The quarry was so nice i tell you!
Okay so 5 of us girls pulled our pants down on the count of 3 and peed in the bushes. :) Wow first time expeience hahahaha but damn smelly and quite disgusting lah.

There was this Se Bi Bi guy from our buddy watch, Amundsen, who tried to peep at Gina and me changing. And kept asking about Graci. Haha go away lah SeBiBi.

Fourth Day
Started on our Land Expedition. Carrying our 20kg backpacks (or so i say), we walked for about 15km, looking for 8 checkpoints and eventually returning back to Camp 2. Must thank Jiajie and Wymer for being the Navigators :) Everyone was so tired and frustrated but we still perservered on. You don't know how proud i am of you guys i tell you. Especially Shanna and Gina. :)
After about 5+ hours, we finally reached Camp 2. Felt such a strong sense of accomplishment. We started cheering and doing Zao Cao for the first time properly in our lives. Finally felt our team spirit to the max. :)

Last Day
Mostly cleaning up. But the highlight was Jetty Jump. Everyone was reluctant at first because we were all clean alr and we had no new clothes to change into. But Theresa already changed into a wet attired and Graci&Chelsia wanted to do it. ( Don't feel bad lah babes.) We were all grumbling but after the jump, i'm sure we didn't regret at all eh?

Everyone had to thank 3 people, apologise to 2 people and think of a commitment we want to make when we leave OBS. So everyone kinda made this "last words" before they jumped into the sea. It was really touching you know. :)

Okay I think this post is sooooo wordy i should just post pictures now.

Aiyer gerald spoil the picture. Pay respects to our Buddha yo. We are all Bibi-ists. :)

Went to KFC at Kallang with Marco Polo. Omg free drinks refill was what we needed man.

So many pictures, so little energy? ahaha. The rest of the pictures here if you're interested.

Who cares about uneven tans, ugly tanlines or mosquito bites? The thing is that we enjoyed it. My only regret is that i started enjoying only towards the end of the camp. Hey Marco Polo, i'm still looking forward to recess on Tuesday and the pool party after exams. Let's all wear our blue OBS shirts. :) I must have missed out a lot of details here. But still, the memory will always stay with us :) :) :) We saw each other at our ugliest and smelliest and whatnot! I really hope we'd meet up frequently :) MARCOPOLO! SUP!

I think the mosquitoes followed me back. Btw i really missed the rest of you. :)
