OBS update super overdue...
must be i'm just lazy.
bad me.
OBS DAY 1:
Went to punggol jetty, and waited for abt 2 hrs cuz of 2 people who came super late.
then i lent norman 1 whole packet of solid fuel(or as myles puts it, SAWLID fuel), and keith fern a cap(he had a bald head like me and still didnt bring a cap. asking for brain burn?)
Thus, with supplies diminished, we all went onto the ferry, and went to pulau ubin for OBS.
was in camp 2...it is apparantly more low tech than camp 1 which is actually quite nice. then did all the basic admin stuff lo, like sorting all the tents, groundsheet, given food. blablabla
so then aft lunch(buns and apple) went up to pitch tent...had to climb a 101 step staircase. then if you counted it all correctly 1st time, ur wish would come true. i counted 100 >.< so no wishes for me.
also learn all the knots there but..haha lol i fell asleep. so in the end pitch tent i can only hold pole up or carry it to be useful.
then dinner. frickin nice. we gave all our cutlery to puver, who had to lose mine. then when i found it, they took all the food ordy. -.-
had to get food from other group, who cooked too much. MUAHAHAHAHA I TOOK MORE THAN YOU ALL IN THE END.(if anyone of you are reading this)
then......it rained. hard. while we struggled to finish our tents and pack our rock climbing equipment. but we made it(kinda.)
so we slept in a nice sheltered rock floored building.(open air)
and i woke up in the middle of the night. and the first thing i saw was one guys ass.
shocked the hell out of me, but made very fun recounting the next day.
so what have i learnt from this?
-alot of my group are greedy and heavy eaters
-incidents in the night in OBS are very traumatising
fire and ice clashed at [7:03 AM]
