i've learnt a lot. i've learnt a whole damn lot from OBS. its real meaningful. a new phrase of life. a breath of fresh air. the test of the extremes. strengths and weaknesses. OBS.
a brief review of what i went through:
1st day: checked in in my dorm (my grp's called Bo seng fyi, and i'm prolly the only person enthu enough in my group to read abt his bio on the noticeboard outside our dorm - he died in june 28, 1944, owned rubber factories, banana and bricks blah blah - very heroic and zai man) my group basically consists of 3 smartasses, 12 less smart asses and a retard. you've guessed it - shuyuan, matthew and I, the rest of them are mainstreamers and the retard is none other than rujin. spell his cheena name again.
r.u.j.i.n none of them looked especially sight appealing nor enthusiastic. well, they were however, enthu in slapping and hitting those flying mosquitoes in our dorms dead. so much for their
'frags'. seriously, i dun give a damn man. and rujin, being exposed to the fact that insect repellant is flammable and are compressed and stored in bottles - he sprayed the repellant on the flame of his lighter and lighted a flamethrower.. quite shocking for a dumbass like him to know that one can do that. fascinated, as he was exposed to something that only people from 3A to 3L are capable of doing and 3M to 3O for thinking but restraining from doing, yea, he sprayed at moths, mosquitoes and on the floors. irritatingly and annonyingly stupid. full stop.
i dint really noe shuyuan and matthew that well, and both of em being in the same ep3, clicked together instantly, leaving me behind with those losers. yup, i am still that anti-most mainstreamers kax everyone noes and thus dint wanna mix in and acted quiet and antisocial. yea me? quiet? is that like ironic or sth? yea things happen ya noe?
the afternn was like learning how to belay and build a makeshift shelter with a blue tarb suspended over two supporting bamboo sticks held by tent pegs poked under the soil for support with groundsheet laid under the suspension and we are supposed to sleep in there for two nites and its terribly unstable and unfriendly to sleep in cos it leaks and rain gets in and rocks make back pain pain and that shelter is called a bashar. ok pple, say that whole sentence in one breath please.
so during dinner i was like yea, dinner time! (d'oh..) and found that the food there, the facilities there and all were much much better than i imagined or expected it to be.. yea residential no doubt gets better stuff but dint expect to be
that good. shit the bold aint working rite? the 'that' was supposed to be bolded.. knvm.
anywayy saw taiboon and jianyi in canteen getting food after i had my dinner and i ran from my dorm after bathing which was far away from the canteen for a quick chat. guess what? they made this anti-geper/anti-high voice/anti-khee xuan mainstreamer whose nose looked as if he was punched or it was just qian bian that was damn against me and called me a sissy and all.. nvm i can take that shit. but the worst thing was that taiboon and jianyi just treated me as non-existent. fine, i wasnt welcomed and went off to the multi purpose hall, tearing excessively. crying u might say. kax is an emotional wimp. my weakness.
yea i cried cos my worst fear came alive. loneliness. i suddenly missed my parents, my grandma and all my friends - ashley, jeffrey n darrell and felt so secluded in my own darkness cos my group sux, jianyi's n taiboon's unintentional attitude just made me crumbled like anti digestive biscuits. ok bad metaphor but nvrtheless, it was still an indescribable sadness i experienced. shit that feeling's gone now.
then we had this talk abt medical emergency by this lady that cant really pronounce words, and haf difficluty pronouncing words like 'sick' n so on.. and her name is nana. she intro herself and asks everyone not to add something in front of behind her name. bad thing to say gal. all the 3A-L people immediately thot of BAnana... only me, being dirty and all, suddenly remembered the 2M's fever of gugujiao and nainaibo, mumbled nanaPOK to myself.. luckily i did that but nvrmind. now i call her BAnanaPOK and i told that to jeffrey when we met during supper or sth.. yea its sucha relief to meet jeffrey during supper cos what i toked to him for 2 mins was 10 times more than what i spoke for that whole day. amazingly little i've said. yup, jeffrey described it perfectly. intelligent chat is the precise word.
so slept with my little pillow i brought. a small TV pillow. ash and jianyi were throwing it around on the bus on the way to punggol jetty haha... very comfy and so was the bed.
day 2: shit i am going too slow.. ok day 2. morning activity was high ropes course in inverse tower. yea. sux man. dint even get to climb cos climb halfway then kana rain. shit man. then after that kayaking lesson in the rain. matthew sick and rejected back to singapore to enjoy life. then kayak with shuyuan. quite fun. cos we r damn fast. i sit in front. he sit behind. then we paddle. and paddle somemore. then collapse drill damn fun. damn fun until like xiao man. haha. shldve kept collapsing during sea ex. more abt that later. thenw e canoe to campsite 2. that place sux so much. so what got water? got solid ground? got toilet? got light? its like wth. cos we have our rations of curry and rice and guess who did the cooking. shuyuan and i. tediously for like 1 hour we were dere cooking and the rest of the group just stayed and slacked and use eye power to see us cook. then rujin was being shitass cos he was conscripted to help out in bashar bulding but resisted and die die must slack with the cooking people and he did. yea he was trying to help tho, to 'watch the fire'. rite. the worst thing is, those slackers actually complained that the food we cooked sux. u dun have to eat man. and that comment came from tack kian, the npcc/ncc (whichever pitiful uniform grp to have a member like him) that's an absolute mama boy and wimp. he's just one of those slackers in my grp yea. yup bashar sleeping was good cos no rain and no rocks beneath grndsheet.
shit i am too sian to write abt day 3/4/5. will write em soon kay...
