Yippee!! This is my 100th post! Wonder how old my blog is..

Anyway, I've a lot to blog about, but now it just depends on my stamina to stare at the screen and just type non stop. And hopefully my phone won't ring just yet, if not I'll get distracted. I shall colour code each 'topic', should be easier to read like that.

Ok. There are a few reasons why I'm blogging only now and not like right after all the events. Firstly, after OBS I was so super tired. I wanted to blog but I just couldn't stay awake. So like. I slept the whole night. I didn't even hear my phone ring like for 5 calls and about 3 sms. And my phone was at the loudest next to my ear. That's how tired I was. Then the next day, I had to do flag day. So I left the house early cos I wanted to hitch a ride. Then I went to make specs. I'll say why later. Then as usual, went to my grandparents' house and like every sat night, I need to prepare for the next day's worship. So ya. Then today after church I went to ps and watched over the hedge. Nice show. Yeah. And I was dying. Cos I had food poisoning. So like PAIN!!! and my brothers went to ps too. trust me. It's so not fun to look after them. Ok it was okok la. But still. I'M SUPER LAZY ONE LA! then I had to get my father to drive me home cos I could barely walk and then I slept cos I didnt' want to feel anymore pain. stomach pain. Yeah. So here I am now..

Yeah. OBS was super fun! I never thought it would be like this and initially I didn't even think I could actually survive it. So ya. This is how it all went.

First day
In the morning, I was so unprepared la. I was so worried that I didn't bring the necessary stuff. And my bag was so so heavy. So even in the morning, I was trying to make it lighter. I succeeded in making it slightly lighter la. But I was still very very unprepared. I remembered telling my mum that I didn't want to go even though I had been looking forward to it. And ya. (Since sooner or later everyone will find out, I shall add in this detail too). I even had to sms Gerald all the way to school telling him the things that needed to be completed for the intermediate camp(yes. we are planning the camp. I shall talk more about it later). Then when I reach school, I was like.. might as well just go and enjoy. So after assembly and all the admin, we boarded the bus and off we went. At the jetty, we were all like, "we just passed by the last of civilisation!" hahaha. then we took this ferry. There was one called symphony and another called harmony. And many more la. So I started being lame. But don't have to go into detail about that. Yeah. Then at OBS. It was something I didn't expect at all la. I expected something worst. Yeah. Then after many complications, the group I was in, the second half of my class, was given the name "Armstrong". Yeah. My instructor is Chiew Ling. we call her Ling though. Then we were given all our dry rations and canned food and rice which was suppose to last us la. It's a lot of food!! We packed like all of them after many many many trys! Then after that we found out that we didn't have to squeeze everything in the two small boxes! It was like AHHHHHH.......... ok. Then we went to our store where all the equipments were kept. and we learnt belaying. And at night we cooked our first meal. Yeah. (we are suppose to cook every dinner). And after that, a few of us just scrubbed the pots and mass tins. It was super tiring. And we pitched the last of our tents. (oh it rained that day. so our tents were wet inside. disgusting i tell you). and at night we slept in wet tents.

Second day
hmmmm.. let me think. what happened? oh ya. We rock climbed! Yeah. I reached the top. Hahahahha. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we had lunch. actually we ate the whole rock climbing thing. and we did it as a class la. Then we learnt the capsizing drill. Stupid drill I tell you. But good and useful. Ya then we went kayaking. And you know what. Before we even started Rachel and I capsized. Stupid I tell you. But good thing we were near the shore. Then it was easier to empty the kayak. then off we went and everyone had to capsize and rescue. Then when it was Rachel and my turn to capsize. guess what happened? My left lens fell out! retarded i tell you! like who but me experiences such stuff? so stupid! Then we went back. Ate and yea. That's about it for the second day i think.........

Third day
We went for an expedition that day! We had to pack this ultra heavy bag la. It had to like hold all our stuff. for two days. so like. Very heavy. Then we had to use this map and had some kind of treasure hunt. and we only found 2 points. Then because it was too late we had to go to our campsite. Then we pitched our tents. And we saw a BOAR!! hahaha. and we cooked yet again. ( wow I'm making obs sound boring. but it's not boring) and then washed our tins in the sea. then like we were given like schedules to do night watch. ya and in the night watch. MY night watch with amanda and rachel. WE SAW THE BOAR AGAIN!! we were so super scared la. and because i was so blind without my glasses. i was not sure of what i was looking at.and let me tell you this. All the rumours about ghost singing at night. SO NOT TRUE. it's just music by the instructors to scare the boar away.and it was techno music. but the lyrics were kinda weird. yeah. maybe that's why people thought it was ghosts. anyway. the male instructor shouted and made the music louder and I hope that the boar was scared away.

Fourth day
We had to wake up especially early that day because we had to leave early to kayak. We kayaked 7-8 hours. SO LONG! but it was ultra fun. FUN i tell you.Rachel and I got myany rides from the instructors because twice rachel needed to be attended to. the ride from the speed boats were fun. hahaha. our navigators kept on going zig zac.And after that we had to wash the equipments. I tell you. I was wet the whole day.

Fifth day
We just cleaned up the whole day. and had a lot of evaluation. Yeah. That's all la. ahhaa.. and i got sun burn trying to find tent pegs. but it worth it cos i found 2!!!(btw. I'm on the phone that's why i'm not elaborating so much) And i bought a OBS t shirt to remember the camp. I was so so happy to be home la.

OBS was fun la. But I think that there were many conflicts that started because of this camp. I was asked as a class chair to talk to the class about it. But what can I do? I really dunno what to do. I hope this doesn't go on...

And ya. As I said. Intermediate camp. Yes I'll confess that we ARE in fact having an intermediate camp. And ya. I'm going to say that I'm sure that we are progressing very well. And we are inviting all sec 1 to sec 3 to come. If you want to come for this camp which is from the 19th to the 21st of june. Monday to Wednesday. and it costs $25 (really cheap) and it includes a t shirt. It's at Foochow Methodist Church. Yeah. Really worth it. Once I can I'll post up the powerpoint and all the other stuff concerning the camp. So ya. I think that's about it. Just email me if you want to know the details and if you want the consent form. Yeah. You are all invited even if you're not from Foochow Methodist Church.

I'm really grateful for all these experiences. And i'm going to have to say this. I was asked why being a Christian is good. And during OBS I found out why. It's because you never have to worry about what's going to happen to you after you die. And if you are a Christian, you'll never feel alone. You'll always have someone to talk to when you feel down and depressed. Being a Christian lets you know that there is always a solution to every problem and that there is someone you can always count on. And this is something I must add. There's no poin in being a Christian by name and not behaving like one. Being a Christian means that you believe that Jesus died and rose again. That Jesus is Your saviour.

Oh well. I wanted to do more for my 100th post. but because my com is lagging so badly right now. I'll do it some other time. Yeah.
