OBS DAY 2

wheew.. woke up at 0555 today.. rather tired.. had our very first p.t. which was very unique.. hahahahhaha yeps.. we were supposed to do high elements today.. but it started raining like mad and we had to retreat to the multi purpose hall to use the high elements there..

so according to narf, we had to fulfill the roles of being climber, belayer, assistant belayer, anchor, rope manager, knot helper and motivator in order for us to earn our OBS wristband which will certify us as "rangers" for land expedition the following day.. yeps.. so we were climbing the swaying rock wall and we had to do it with a partner.. the rain was being blown by the strong winds into the hall.. wow.. really bad weather today.. almost like a typhoon!!

so after our high elements, when the rain finally ended, we lunched and proceeded to trek on to camp 2.. i was the i.c. or chief navigator and luckily, i didn't get the whole group lost.. hahahahha XD when we reached camp 2, we went for our kayaking lesson with the rest of the camp 1 watches.. it was quite fun.. they taught us those capsize and rescue drills.. omg poor francis, out of everyone the jellyfish chose to sting him.. dang unlucky.. and stanley's head got hit by a paddle.. ouch..

yeps, after dinner for our circle, narf presented us with our wristbands!!! ours was red, Bo Sheng's was orange, Munshi's was blue or yellow and Marshall's was yellow or blue.. hahahahahah i don't think the camp 2 watches got any wristbands.. though i heard from xiangan who's in camp 2 that some of them got it.. oh well.. camp 1 still rocks!! :D

my wristband!!! oh the words engraved on it are "OUTWARD BOUND SINGAPORE"
