29/10 Monday
Today was the first day we reach pulau ubin OBS camp. It was exciting and interesting as our school for this 5 days 4 nights camp. We played many interesting games like human tangeling, "grass and wind" game which is the trust fall. I have learnt that for whatever we do, we have to plan and discuss among team members and to trust among team mates when we are in our team mates when we are in a team. Another game are activity in specific is the belaying game where we are taughts about trust again. The activities are fun and interesting but tiring. In camps, trust is very important between team mates during a camp. I definitely enjoyed the activities& made alot of friends.
30/10 Tuesday
Today was the second day of the OBS course and i'm very excited about the activities we're going to have for the day. we are told that we are going kayaking after lunch and therfore in morning we had high element activities. The high element activitiy was fun and wonderful as it is the first time i'm having a buddy climb with my friend pei zhen. She was a good partner although she was scared halfway through but she was very supportive and brave. We had lots of fun as when our school haveoutdoor camps, we are not allowed to do belaying on our own but here at OBS, we are given a chance to entrust our safety to each other and help our friends belay. In the afternoon after lunch, we learnt hoe to kayak with our buddy and also the wet escape. Theresa and i are good buddies but as both of us are not strong enough, we were quite slow but we still managed to catch up and have all the fun we wanted. We than kayaked to another campsite and camped there for the night. Pei Lee taught us how to cook outdoors and the whole group had fun cooking the meals and we had so much fun. The meal was delicious. It;s a busy day for us and there was a storm at night and the tent i was sleeping in almost topple off. We were all evavuated as the storm was cat1. It was great to experience storm during the camp. Pei Lee and the other instructors were very caring and i would say that they are one of the best instuctors i have met. Million Thanks to them. The next day would be a fun, exciting and tiring day.
31/10 Wednesday
Today would be the third day of the course and we are told that we will be having sea expedition the whole day around the whole of pulau ubin. I changed my partner to Eddie so as to be able to keep up the pace with the rest. Eddie was a great buddy. His a very nice guy i can say. Haha!!! We all had lunch at sea and the sea was lik a home to us as we did everything even small and big business there. Actually i did not do that la but if any of us have the urge to do 'it' just jump into the sea and just do 'it' lik how it is lik at the toilet. LOL. It was a long trip of 9 hours out at sea before we finally reach back to camp 1. It was quite an adventurous trip out at sea but because of the long hoursat sea we all got land sick instead of sea sick. It was shaky when i first step back on land. After all this kayaking, we finally get to have freach meals again but most of us are too 'shaky' to eat much. It's a tiring day and all of us wanted to rest as early as possible and prepare for the next day's activity which is trekking and raft building. I was half lucky and half unlucky as my head hurts from the heat on the head by the kayak the previous day and was send to the medical centre. luncky because i got to sleep on bed with pillows and blanket but unlucky because i didn't get to be with my friends. Hope that the next day would be a better day.
1/10 Thursday
Today was the fourth day at camp. Didn't have much fun today as i was send back to singapore for a check up at sengkang polyclinic because of the head injury which i think was not so serious. had a long wait at the clinic for registration and also for the doctor. reach there about 8 after taking breakfast with my group and got back aroud 11 just in time for lunch but without my group but with 3 other guys who are either sick or injured. Feel so odd one out lah!!! Didn't get to go trekking with my group and do raft buiding as there is no way to be able to find them as they were mobile in the afternoon. Ate my medicine and slept the whole afternoon lik a pig sia!!! At night someone was send back to medical centre because of some reason which i think is better not to tok abt, i was awoken den. the instructor told be to get ready to go back with them but because i took the medicine from that doctor which made me drowsy and want to sleep i didn't manage to go back with them. So disappointing. Haiz... Wasn't a very exciting nor interesting day after all...
2/10 Friday
Today was the last day of camp and nothing much today. I was finally back with my group but not for activities but for clean up and pack up time. I had my breakfast first which they didn't have and helped them to clean and wash up all the tents, cooking equipments and also to unpack the haversacks and brush them clean for storage. we packed up the storage arranging everything in order and make sure that there's nothing missing but we didn't manage to have all the tent pegs and got 14 of them missing and therefore in the end we got to pay 50 cents each. we had fun packing up and we did some admin stuff with our dear instructor pei lee. she returned us all our valuables which all of us missed and had a reflection time. we are asked to write a letter to ourselves and it would be send to us in abt 4 months time. We all wrote little remarks for Pei Lee and we are all going to miss her and each other after we go back to singapore. We presented the certificates to each other and said many thanks and wishes to each other. It was good that we took down everyone's contacts so tat we could all keep in touch after the camp. AI and QUEST RAWKS!!! After debrief, we took photos and continue the quest of taking down contacts from each other. I miss all my new friends.... Hip Hip Hooray to OBS and also the intructors!!!!

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who persecuted bacause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who are before you.
