OBS.OUTWARD BOUND SCHOOL.ELIZABETH CHOY WATCH.OTHERS BEFORE SELF!
TO SERVE TO STRIVE AND NOT TO YEILD!((: I LOVE YOU, OBS!(:
tears, I never cried so much in my life before.
You call no instructors sirs or mdms, you call them by their nicknames. Disrespectful? Nah, you will give them the respect they are supposed to have naturally cause they really deserve it. The instructors makes your day, ah ber was our mother, father, grandpa, grandma. Care and concern you ll get, from DEAREST DEAREST AH BER, CYNDI & OF COURSE SAM((:
I thank You for letting them be part of the life that You have given me.

DAY ONE.
Theme: TRY! Song: YOU RAISE ME UP! Day i/cs: MEL AND I!
The cohort set off from school to the jetty and the next thing we were already on the boat on the way to pulau ubin as we sang L IS FOR THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME…I was looking forward to OBS since the day I got the form to fill it up, I couldnt believe I was on my way there. We arrived at OBS camp one instead of camp two like the rest of the cohort cause like what ahber(Belinda) our instructor said, we are SPECIAL!(: after settling down at the multi purpose hall, we were introduced to our instructors, AHBER AND CYNDI!(: I knew I was gonna have the best times of my life and I wasnt wrong!(: we sat down by the rock wall after a talk by course director serene yar. Chanels eyecandy number one. We had to introduce ourselves and they did too(: then we went to the store to check all the stuff needed for the expeditions like life jackets and haversacks. We had lunch at the cook house! YOU EAT I EAT ELIZABETH EAT! Though camp one had dorms, we were still on a mobile course like the rest of the cohort. we had games with special messages like TRUST and communication. On of them was to catch our watch mates as they fall from a wood plank with a ground sheet. ELIZABETH READY ELIZABETH PULL! we were than taught belaying and the basic commands. Next we packed part of our bags for the expeditions and learnt how to pitch our tents. After dinner we met up with at the jetty and played HOLY SHIT! Ahhaha, it was so cute! We shared our goals and fears. It was always nice with everyone in a circle sharing what how hearts have to say. We started our angel and mortal game. (:

DAY TWO.
Theme: BELIEVE! Song: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY! Day i/cs: CHANEL AND ELAINA!
We had morning physical training, morning run made chanel so happy cause she met STEVEN LOO, notthathot instructor with sexy voice but hes super hot to chanel. Steven loo, chanels eye candy number two. Yup. Unpitched our tents, had breakfast and met up with ahber and Cyndi for our morning circle! Sadly we were late. TIME AND TIDE WAITS FOR NO MAN! It was a aye-cmon-move-faster-super-rush-day. We were given our envelopes with our letters from our angel and a message from ahber and Cyndi too. Journal sharing was done by mel and I and then passed on to chanel and elaina after a small ceremony. It was then ahber told us about the sad news. She wasnt feeling well and had to leave for Singapore to see a doctor. Everyone left unhappy to grab our helmets and harnest or however you spell that and followed Cyndi to the tripod, high element of the day!(: there, we met sam, chanels eye candy number three, he was helping ahber for the day. Hes one of the lamest person ive ever met, listen to his jokes and you ll feel like slapping him, but of course it was very enjoyable to have him around. He says PHWAH! A lot, if you were to count, I think it should be reaching a hundred. He started out with a serious tone telling us what ahber wants us to do, which was to BELIEVE IN OTHERS, BELIEVE IN OUR EQUIPMENT AND BELIEVE WITH OURSELVES. And right after that he went back to his phua chu kang voice and started his lame jokes once again, mainly hard gay, happy three friends and marrying wildboars. BE A MAN! DO THE RIGHT THING! he said. MOVE AROUND IN FOURS! IN CASE ONE GETS MARRIED TO A WILDBOAR, ONE WILL BE THE BRIDESMAID, THE OTHER WILL BE THE WITNESS, THE LAST ONE WILL GIVE OUR INVITATIONS. goshhhhhhh, something like that, all i know that its LAME. Sams kungfu snake thingo hit me on the forehead, I felt like punching him, so did elaina cause she turned her round and round on the helmet, manage to dodge his snake hand for the first time, but not the second. It was painful alright. I had clips on my head and they werent supposed to be there. PHWAH!YOU WANT TO DIE AH! See what I mean by a hundred PHWAHs a day?((: I supposedly look like a little girl same use to baby sit. Ok its obviously not me cause I dont attend the church he does and I wasnt baby sitted. AM I ON BELAY?! Thats me. Sam says its not true, it has to me, am I on belay? TT~HAT~S ME!!! HAHAHHAA. If you get what I mean..It took us so long for the dry run and for everyone to do the whole thing, it was great fun though!(: steph was gggggggggggreat! She managed to finish the whole thing! Everyone started to get moody because of the heat and hunger and sams lame jokes we obviously not helping, that was when everyone got kinda pissed off. Rushed off for lunch, grab out haversacks and changed into wet shoes! IT WAS TIME TO LEARN HOW TO KAYAK!(: ahber was still on mc so sam had to be with us for another day. Sam brought us down into the water holding on tight to eachother, with our life vest on of course. His life vest had a superman sign, ahahha so cute. In the water, we were all told to lift up our legs. WHOOO GREAT FUN BABY. Everyone started screaming and laughing with joy. We were a floating human circle!(: next we we learnt how to paddle, ok I sucked, I knew that. Hahah. Learning how to capsize was so funny. Elaina belle and I took quite long to rock our boat till we finally capsized. After that we thought we got to bathe, erm well, we did, in a special way. Sam and naf(Nehru-other half of threenine-s instructor) took the water hose and sprayed us with water as they washed the kayaks. Ok I loved that! Except for the one when I was talking and water shot straight into my mouth.,yup. I realized that SAM IS ACTUALLY VERY NICE LA HUH(: AND HE HAS THIS WIDE SMILE THAT EVERYONE LIKES. JUST LIKE CYNDI.HEH he was doing a big favor to help ahber. We changed into our dry clothes, grab our haversacks and trekked to our first camp site. Sam and Cyndi brought us there. Sam appeared in specs and I couldnt really recognize him. His super duper short shorts made us go a LITTLE gaga. HAHAH. i bet he was an eveycandy to alot, jsut that no one admitted. Fairuz only told me that she thinks sam is cute after we got back. Ahhh~ see what I mean((: Though the trek to the first campsite was rather short, we had to pitch our tents in the dark cause we were late in the morning and everything was pushed back. Throughout the trek and after the trek, sam looked rather pissed to me, belle too, wonder if the rest realised. and he didnt joke at all. Weirddddddddd. I was kinda scared though. The campsites ground was so rocky, it pretty difficult to force the tent pegs down, to make things worse, it started to rain. HAIYA. Outdoor cooking! Most of us left our solid fuels at camp one, we all took it for granted that everyone else will bring. Darn it. we had fire starters though.. broke some twigs, found some bricks, rubbed some toothpaste under the tins and here comes maggi mee((: OH AND I HAD TO DIG THE SHIT HOLE AND HANG LIGHT STICKS. AHAHHAHAHA. I kept the light sticks(: We had maggi and the instructors had pasta, see the difference? Haha. Sam taught us how to compress our trash, make a shelter for cooking, how to wash the tins and stuff, disposed the trash and time for bed! WAKE UP TMR NO EARLIER OR LATER THAN 5.55. UNDERSTAND?’ yesssss. WHY? CAUSE THERES A NOTEBOOK CALLED 555.There you go, one out of his thousand jokes. Jacjac wasnt feeling well that night, thank goodness there were instructors around or we wont know what to do. Sam found out that Cheryl and Mel switched tents, he let it go though, that was why I felt guilty. I learnt to believe in myself much much more! I teared before bed, I didn’ want to leave obs

DAY THREE.
Theme: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! Day i/cs: JACJAC AND FAN!
THE GREAT UBIN RACE!(:
555!RISE AND SHINE! Brushing teeth out there was real fun, you dont get to spit everywhere anytime you like it you know, breakfast was bread with peanut butter or jam. How do you do that? Stick your bread into the jar, everyone does it there. Hahah. Cool huh, try it at home, see what some of your mummys will do man. I was whining to chanel once she got up, CHANEL! I DONT WANT SAM TO GO! CAN WE HAVE THREE INSTRUCTORS? And then everyone took it as I liked sam, alamak whatver. I knew he was an eye candy to many more, they just didnt want to show it. Ohwell, obviously we couldnt. unpitched our tents, packed our bags and went meet the instructors. Ahber was back! Looking healthy and strong!(: we had our morning circle by the reservoir. Like I mentioned earlier, I love these sharing sessions. Journal sharing was done by chanel and elaina and Ahber wanted to know how we felt yesterday. She then mention about the first few complains about Sam, we all knew that they no longer exist, cause SAM IS NICE(: and she went on about how sam could charm us. hahah. Clarissa started crying cause she was homesick, looking at her, I was trying so hard to hold back my tears but I gave up in the end. NOPE, not cuase I was homesick, I was OBS SICK. I didnt want to leave OBS. The strong bond that has develope is too amazing and I didnt want Sam to go!))): ahber and cyndi gave us our envelopes, once again, new messages from the both of them and our angels. Yup. we returned to fill up our bottles by the reservoir. SAM! PHWAH! COME OUT! We wanted a picture with him. Guess what we got in return? PICTURE FIFTY DOLLARS AH! YOU THINK ZOO AH! KEEP TAKING PICTURES! In his famous funny slang. He walked out still chewing, folded his arms and leaned on the fence. Ok so we did that pose for the picture(: next picture, we all said PHWAH together(: I knew that I will miss him. Ok so ahber taught us navigation and pacing with the map. The three Ds!(: Out first checkpoint was the point with five routes. We missed a turn and went the wrong way. For the first checkpoint, belle chanel and I were the sweepers. Right at the back to make sure everyone was together. Our task was to find 3 prettttttttty leave skeletons and 3 rubber seeds. I still have them with me now(; ahber was whoopeeedooo super. She appears when we need her and disappears when we are trekking. Our guardian angel((: Everything was up to us. Checkpoint two was at the shrine which has an interesting story to it. It was a a long walk from the checkpoint one. Everyone was tired. Belle and I were the navigators. Everyone was too tired so I ran to find the shrine myself, it was near where we were resting. I forgot that we had to find out what lies in the vase, the task I mean, so I took the envelope and ran off. Check point three was at the quarry but we had a choice if we want to go to check point four or three due to time constrain. We decided to go to checkpoint four at camp two! It was quite a distance away and our task was to pitch our tents in an hour. We had to take a break, everyone was too tired, especially steph. So I decided to carry her ground mat and tent for her. I dontknow where I got the energy to carry the two ground mats, tent, three bottles, mass tins and my own haversack.. I use to complain about heavy school bags! guess I was enjoying myself too much. On our way to check point four. We met a truck. Our grave mistake. Jacjac saw that they were leaving, so might as well hitch a ride. I asked them if we could be more discipline but they were too far to hear me. Ok he agreed, and since steph wasnt feeling well I also thought it will be ok for him to just drop us to a point. As we went, I saw ahber from far. I started to panic, and what I thought earlier on struck me, WE HAVE TO BE DISCIPLINE. Chanel wanted to get off too. Ah ber shook her head and disappeared again. We have disappointed her, yes we did. A little pissed, I got off the truck and we walked on. Ah ber appeared and told us to sit down. -m not gonna scold you all, cause I don’t believe in scolding-we sat down and she really set us thinking. We were all guilty and showed our true feelings, practically all teared in fear of disappointing her. - believe in showing how we feel, that’s why I never stopped anyone from crying..-These heart to heart talks really bond us a lot. Ah ber s funny actions and jokes stopped us from crying non stop though, naturally. After going round telling eachother how we feel about what we did, about this whole land expedition and feel about eachother. IM SORRY IF I WAS INSENSITIVE TO YOU GUYS): we wrote down our reflections and what we wanted to achieve together on a piece of paper. we finally stopped crying to set off, but ah ber s last line made me start again. -m your mother, and I will love my children no matter what. No matter what kind of mistakes you make. Even if you go to jail, I will still love you, as simple as that- TELL ME, HAVE YOU SEEN SUCH A SWEET PERSON? WE RE SORRY AH BER!)):We had to move on. Mosquitoes and more mosquitoes bites everywhere, oh and I saw the prettiest butterflies ive ever seen((: We grabbed our bags and off we went. Ah bers singing makes me smile((: met Nehru and Cyndi along the way, Cyndi said that she ll join us later on(: Cheryl sprained her ankle, so did sarah)): it was our last checkpoint, so ah ber didnt disappear, she followed us all the way and told and showed interesting stuff that was around, like durian trees, big spiders and where people use to stay(: as history students, we all had no problem listening and boy, were those stories interesting, you should see those spiders man. Ah ber even fed them. Ok I love obs so much that I thought the ants I saw were cute and didn’t mind mosquitoes biting me((: upon reaching camp two, we met sam!(:
I don’t know what he was doing there but ya. PHWAH! YOU GOT SO MANY PEOPLE AH. I ALSO AH! To ah ber. In his retarded slang again(: we settled down to pitch our tents. Camp two was very different from camp one, much more run down but I like it more at camp two! I mean like, that’s what obs is all about right?((: by the time we reach there, all the tkgians who were at camp two were gone. So EC and Nehru had the whole camp two to ourselves(: BOND BOND BOND! Sam threw a coconut up to shore. Ok it was already broken into half, he went, PHWAH!
And did the karate movement on it like as if he broke it into two.
Though we didn’t go to checkpoint three, we were awarded points cause we could locate where it was on the map and do the task. It was a mountain story. Belle and chanel acted while the rest were the echo((: YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE, IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU. after the tents were pitched and the arrival of Nehru, we sat down together to receive our last task. We were supposed to use the points we have accumulated to buy things to built a raft like ropes and stuff. The raft have to pass through the three test, the shake, the lift and the float test. The raft needs to be set off to get our map the next day for our sea expedition. As ah ber was briefing us about what to do, we all did EVERYBODY DANCE NOW! Clapping. We taught Nehru too, now the whole threenine knows how to do it. Ah ber sang us a very cute OBS song((: it goes.
Rain gonna rain gonna rain gonna no more, rain gonna rain no more!
That’s what the old folks say, rain gonna rain no more!
They say that OBS the guys are very smart,
If you talk a closer look they look like coconut!
Rain gonna rain gonna rain gonna no more, rain gonna rain no more!
That’s what the old folks say, rain gonna rain no more!
They say that OBS the girls very fine
If you talk a closer look they look like Frankenstein!
Rain gonna rain gonna rain gonna no more, rain gonna rain no more!
That’s what the old folks say, rain gonna rain no more!
They say that OBS the guys are very tough,
If you talk a closer look they look like curry puff!
Rain gonna rain gonna rain gonna no more, rain gonna rain no more!
That’s what the old folks say, rain gonna rain no more!
They say that OBS the girls are very cute
If you talk a closer look they look like prostitute!
Everytime we sing it I will be so happy, and chanel will add ‘EXCEPT BER CYNDI NAF SAM &STEVEN!’
We started to built our raft and it has to fit everyone in the watch. I learnt how to do the different knots!(: hahaha. After a while sam came running in and everyone went PAM PAM! SAM SAM! It gets really annoying cause I don’t like him in that that manner. And the problem is everytime when its time for bed you hear other tents talking about sam sam sam, yet no one wants to admit. Hahahha. After building our raft we had to do our cooking. Ah ber told us a lot of jokes, rather sick ones too. The jetty was so pretty at night! The reflected light on the water was really a breathtaking site. Many pictures were took as usual!(: this campsite was like heaven compared to the previous one. It was facing the sea and the ground was nice and soft.. we had rice and can food! Curry!(: ah ber taught us how to do it and it turned out yummerlicious((: chanel and I had a emo talk about how much we want to stay. Nehru wasn’t happy though, they started to break down one by one while I was jumping around saying that I didn’t want to leave. I think they felt like slapping me. After dinner and all the emo-ing, we went to the jetty together for a sea expedition briefing. Our kayaks have holes underneath, so when we want to pee we can simply do so and wash it off. How hilarious. we wrote to our mortals before going to bed.

DAY FOUR!
Theme: TALK IS CHEAP! Sea Ex Leaders: Elaina and Jacjac!

We had to prove that the goals we set like perseverance and determination will be put to action.
We woke up in a wet tent, we left our bags outside the tent and everything was wet. Pretty gross but we just had to deal with it. Put on our life vests and wet shoes and off we went! I took us quite a while to set the raft off and to make sure everyone was on it. As we went towards ah ber who was on a boat for the map, it started to pour. FUN! To in the sea raining with everyone shouting ONE, TWO ONE, TWO ! together. As we approached, she would go further from us and we had to paddle harder. That’s where teamwork comes in(: we finally got the map and proceeded back to shore to dismantle and raft. At 9a.m or so, we took our kayaks and was ready to set off after packing our lunch in it. It was a tri-yak, I was with Annabelle and elaina, we were the navigators. When we first set off, everyone were all so happy and ‘AYE! ITS SO FUN!’ after a while it got really tiring. We were going round the western part of pulau ubin, which belongs to OBS and into a maze in between. We went into the right turn for the maze. There were a lot of kelongs and one had really fierce guarddogs, they wouldn’t stop barking. Everything went quite well and we reach a bridge to stop for lunch. We had to get up and cross over to the other side of the swamp. Our boat went up first with the help of ah ber. After carrying our kayak up, I helped the rest and happily fell into the soft and slippery mud as I pulled a few of them up. After lunch we continued our expedition. It was time for the realllll maze. Belle, elaina and I kept going the wrong way, and so everyone had to too. OH OH WE CAPSIZED! Hahahhahaha, the navigator boat capsized and no one else did. We lost control and went straight into the branches at the swamp, all three of us avoided it and leaned towards our right. SPLASH. I was laughing my ass off man, really. Our legs got stuck into the mud and it was difficult to get back up, managed to do so though. Everyone went ARE YOU ALL OK? Hahahhaa. I didn’t regret capsizing though, it was really a cool experience(: we went all the way to the bun. Ok the bun its this mud pile that we had to cross to get to the other side. Once again, we were the first to get up. This time the mud was SOFTER and much more slippery. Almost everyone fell. I did too, like 3 or 4 times when I helped them up the bun. That’s why I had to throw away my p.e tshirt. I CAUGHT A PRAWN! HAHAHAHHA. After a while, ber said that I could get onto my kayak. So I jumped into the other side of the swamp and swam to my kayak. Ok we were practically swimming in mud and well, shit. Hahahhaha. Ok you don’t get to do it everytime you know. Some had trouble getting up the kayak cause when you stand on the ground, I mean mud, your leg sinks into it under the water. So ah ber told me to pull them up by the life vest. First it was Tanya, and then the next few I practically drag them up the kayak. One two three, xiao qi jump! And I pulled hard to get her up on board. Realisng that it works, I did the same for the rest. After then bun we went to the wrong direction many times. We thought we were supposed to follow the current, but it was HIGH TIDE! So we were supposed to go AGAINST the current. Gosh, so we went back and forth many times. My whistle was so irritating, blowing it to get all of their attention was hard man. Out of the swamp and into the river took a long time, and we were not even half way there. Some were really far behind but we could not afford to wait as the current will push us back.. we had to go on and on till we re out of the river and finally into the sea. Ok so we all went real fast when we saw the opening to the sea thinking that we could rest, but NO! we had to make sure that the wind and waves wont push us back to shore or when a backwash comes, we ll be gone. As we went on and on, people behind got further and further. We all tried encouraging them but I doubt the heard me. I was already shoutng as loud as I can. As we went along with sore arms, it started to pour again. Everyone was freezing on our kayaks. Chanel started to get sea sick, I was damn worried for her, it was so not a time to get sea sick. the next thing she was hiding in her poncho, I couldn’t even see her face, it was quite funny.hhahahahha. Soon we saw other watch kayaking with their instructors on a boat. Ber, Cyndi and naf were on kayaks like us. Suddenly, everyone called me. Why? PAMM! SAMM! WAHLAO, damn annoying. And belle and elaina, went on and on, PAM AND SAM PAM AND SAM and started paddling faster. They refused to shut up so I stopped paddling.(: hahahahhaa. Ohwell. I did miss sam, but not in THAT way. Even ah ber was like YOU KNOW HES MARRIED?! Aiyo, headache man. After the turn round the western part, we all knew we were more then half way there. When we saw camp ONE, people behind starting screaming. But our bags were at camp TWO! Alamak. So we had to go on, it wasn’t far though(: FINALLY, after nine flat hours of kayaking, we reached camp two. We had to keep our kayaks and paddles. Frankly speaking I was rather pissed then. Yes I know that everyone was cold, but we still had to carry the kayaks right? As I was carrying them up one after another, people started going to wash themselves, I was like UGHHHHH. Alright, after that we changed into our dry clothes, grab our haversacks and trek back to camp one. Real short one though(: we walked fast towards dinner! As we were about to leave, we saw the rest of the tkgians coming back here. We all ran to hug those who we were missing. Like OHMYGOSH IS THAT YOU?! AHHHH!!!*RUNN AND HUGG. It was then I realized that a lot wanted to get home, and only most people in my watch didn’t want to. All thanks to ber, Cyndi and sam! On our way I had to carry the can foods for ain cause she was really tired and so that we could faster. I was telling Cyndi that I miss wanton mee and she went. You know what you ll miss once you get back? PHWAH! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Everyone is getting it WRONG.
We reached camp one, threw down our bags and stood in a circle, it was to mark the end of our two days expedition. We were all so delighted that it all ended, well, not really, I wasn’t. we did our three cheers for the instructors and ran off for dinner. During dinner, I couldn’t believe that we were leaving the NEXT DAY! I tried so so hard to old my tears but as usual, I didn’t succeed. Everyone was talking about our whole trip here and how much well miss the instructors. Chanel, vic, elaina and I starting crying like hungry babies. I left the canteen to make sure that I wont make anyone else cry and sat at the pathway towards the dorms. Annabelle came out to talk to me. We thought we saw sam running out of the instructors lodge, belle called out, the person turned around but we weren’t sure if it was him though. Later, from not too far away, chanels eye candy number two, steven loo, asked me if I was ok. I didn’t bother to reply cause he was too far. He came nearer and I mumbled, I don’t wanna go back.. he sat down beside me and asked again, so I said, -I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK! He started laughing a little and went, where do you want to go? Stay here? Whos your instructor? –I WILL MISS AH BER SO MUCH! Belle ran in to tell chanel steven was here as he was telling me that to not worry cause they’ll be at Singapore, silly. And went away. Just looking at chanel made me laugh though.
After dinner, we pitched our tents and brought our haversacks back to unpack and wash everything up. Life vest and mass tins, haversacks and ponchos. We had to make sure that nothing was missing from the store as well, like compass and stuff. I had to make sure that I have people around me or I will think too much when im alone. Everyone was like pam please don’t cry, so I made sure I don’t see vic, or I will cry with her. Hahahha. After everything was done, we went to our tents near the medical centre. I sat out there for a while trying to write down what happened the past few days but ah ber came round to tell us to go to bed. Chanel went to talk to Annabelle elaina jac and ain so I was in the tent alone before Cheryl and nikki came to join me. Cheryl said she heard me sniffing from outside, ok I managed to control and sat up to talk to her. After a long day, I sure had a good night sleep(: ohyes, TALK IS CHEAP! We have to do it to show that we are capable of it!(:

DAY FIVE.
Theme: LIFE IS EITHER A DARING ADVENTURE OR NOTHING.
I SO DIDN’T WANT THIS DAY TO COME! REALLY! Morning physical training was done by Kenny instead of steven, chanel was well, WHERES STEVEN?!!)): physical training was alright, we didn’t have to do the long run. We washed our tents and left them to dry, did last few checks of our store, grab our own bags and brought them down. I was constantly stoning to stop my tears.
Breakfast was emo-y yet funny. We went up to steven to get a photo taken cuase chanel wanted it so bad. He actually thought I wanted him to help me talk a photo with ah ber when I asked me. Then I went NO NO WITH YOU! It was so awkward. Ah ber told him in the face how much chanel LOVES him and about him being an idol. Steven looked at belle and I and we went, errr NOT US! CHANEL! She was too embarrassed. Just look how shy she looks in the photo(: We had to leave camp one at 12 instead of 2 as the school wanted us to join the rest of tkg. Before lunch, we sat down at the same place as the first time when we reached to do our FINAL morning circle. We wrote our last messages to our mortals and put them in the envelope. As usual, ah ber started talking in a inspiring-listen-and-cry manner. I couldn’t help it. Sam ran passed us and didn’t stop for a final picture though we called out for him, the next time he went pass, he left us our jerry can and disappeared again. Ok I expected myself to cry during the morning circle, listening to ah ber will naturally make me do so. We were special once again, to be able to sign our names in the ELIZABETH CHOY book as the first batch of it as the previous one was completed. The one that we signed will stay on for another ten years till its completed. Ah ber laminated our goals and was gonna put it in the archives(: After reading our last note in the envelopes, I stepped in to the MPH, drying my tears. Elaina and chanel asked me what did ah ber write for me, I didn’t know she left a note. So I opened it and read, TA-DAH, I CRIED AGAIN. They so didn’t have to tell me there was a note man. ah ber’s so sweet! Phones were returned and music started playing, out of all the songs, ain played IT ENDS TONIGHT. My goodness. I stoned throughout lunch. As we left the canteen, I said BYE to sam like twice and he happily ignored me twice. How sad right? He was either munching on his mountain of rice or talking to other instructors. My biggest regret is not taking a picture with him cuase I have pictures with Cyndi and ah ber. I walked to the jetty with a HEAVY heart. It was,
IMLEAVINGIMLEAVINGIMLEAVINGSHITSHITCRAPCRAPDAMNIT!
Ah ber was coming with us to camp two, Cyndi came along in the end too!(: steven was at the jetty with his watch doing jetty jump, chanel was too embarrassed to see him after what happened in the morning. In the boat, sam suddenly appeared at the jetty. I was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. BELLE! I CANNOT TAKE IT ALREADY. Vroooooooooom, I couldn’t stop my emotions. I didn’t even say bye to sam, all I did was cry. OK YES I KNOW I WAS A BIG FAT CRY BABY AT OBS. I nvr cried so much in my life before alright. We reached camp two and saw the rest of the cohort and the TEACHERS.MRS KONG! I DON’T WANNA GO HOME! And when mr yong asked me why I was crying, I cried even more and said the same thing. The teachers started laughing. Three nine was the last to leave. I bought two obs shirts(:
After our school cheer, we did EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!, revealed our angels (Nicole!(: ) and sang L.O.V.E together. We took our last photos and it was time to. I cried all the way as the boat left pulau ubin for the city. As I stepped out of the boat, ah ber held on to our hands and said bye. OHMYGOODNESS I SWEAR I REALLY LOVE THE INSTRUCTORS A LOT. At the jetty I couldn’t stop crying looking at pulau ubin. Everything was so DRAMA.

I sent ah ber a mail immediately when I got home. I didn’t even bother going to bathe. Everytime I read the note she gave me I’ll start crying. OBS is an experience everyone should have. Everything Im saying now may sound so cliché, but its really true. I had so much fun, learnt so much and most importantly, we bonded much more as a class. My instructors made me BELIEVE in myself and take pride in whatever I do. It may only be a five day trip, but it can really change someone.
If they ever see this,
I would like to say a BIG BIG THANK YOU to BELINDA,CYNDI AND SAMMMMM AND I REALLY MISS AND LOVE THEM A LOT((((((((;
I’LL NVR FORGET BER AND HER SONGS, CYNDI AND HER CUTE VOICE AND SAM WITH PHWAH!

Title :

Everything is f'ed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart

east zones starts TMR, & it doesnt even feel like it.
im looking forward to OBS,
hope everything will fall into place after that.
see you friends.
