OBS DAY 1
wheew.. arrived at the jetty at round 7.45.. thanks to xiangan's dad who helped fetched sean and i to the jetty.. hahahhahah yeps saw lots of sad faces there.. hahahaha we gathered in our watches and proceeded off to pulau ubin..
my watch is Kurt Hann, kurt for short.. kurt hann is the founder of Outward Bound School.. we have 14 people in kurt, namely Bryant, Clement, Brendan, Francis, Ronald, Bryan, Darell, Stanley, Randy, Vivaldi, Keith, Azriel, Daniel and me, Aaron. Our instructor is Narfeeza or Narf for short.. The rest of the instructors are Zippy, Yvonne and Abidin. only four watches are going to be in camp 1: Kurt, Bo Seng, Munshi and Marshall. the other 16 watches will squeeze in camp 2.
Camp 1 was dang nice.. looks like a villa from the outside.. We were shown to our dormitories where we could store our bags.. cos camp 2 had to sleep in tents, we had to sleep in tents instead of dorms.. hahahaha the dorms were dang nice. It's kinda like a bungalow, with 3 levels, spilt into 2 for 2 watches.. dang cool.. there were 2 toilets for us which we could use!! 6 showering cubicles for 30 people.. which is real good considering those in camp 2 had to share toilets with 16 watches?! hahahah feel so fortunate to be in camp 1!!!
Went to our store on the ground floor.. darrell and i were the store i.c.(s).. discovered many reasons why camp 1 is better than camp 2.. our dome tents are newer, roomier and a lot easier to fix.. All you have to do is just re-attach the collapsible tent poles and pull.. the tents in camp 2 are the A-shaped tents, which required a lot of tying and knotting and it's smaller, older and looks very fragile.. hahahahaha so YAY for camp 1!!! our backpacks are newer and our store is a whole lot bigger than those in camp 2.. yeps..
After packing, we went for lunch in the canteen!!!! Yeps, heard those in camp 2 had to start eating their rations.. that's another reason why camp 1 is better!! i feel so fortunate to be in camp 1.. :D
After lunch, we were shown the 24hr medical centre before proceeding to play some trust-your-friends game such as the blade of grass and the trust fall.. hahahaha omg when the first person dropped, my head snapped forward in a whiplash effect.. and that person was only the lightest one.. we were all quite scared of clement falling cos he's the heaviest.. but he survived.. actually everyone did.. afterwards we went for "belaying school" as narf puts it.. pitched our tents cos we were done with our activities.. hahahahha we were the first watch there so we could choose where we wanted to pitch our tents!! :D hahahaha then it was dinner!! had our first lesson on trash management and conserving the environment.. hahahahahha
we had a briefing about the medical pouch by abidin, who loves saying stuff like "this is the moment when u guys go wow.." then when we go "wow..", he goes "good boys.." hahahahhahahha spastic..
Yeps, that's bout all for day 1!! Camp 1 rocks!!
