OBS
This is 1 day after I have returned from OBS and I still have that rocking sensation from kayaking. I know a lot of people are excited about what I did so here goes:
DAY1
We arrived at Camp 1 and I thought that the whole day was kind of boring. It was mainly orientation. The 30 of us were sorted out into 2 watches and I was in .... WASHINGTON! Our buddy watch was TOCK SENG. Lishan was our instructor and Steven was Tock Seng's instructor. We picked a rock and was supposed to talk to it (which I did not because I just chucked it into some corner of my bag after picking it) and played trustfall. I think trustfall was really fun even though I thought it would have been kind of scary. I realise that I'm quite pessimistic about certain things sometimes. We also played the blindfolding games which were quite ok. Lunch at the cookhouse was quite nice. We pitched our tents and cooked rice and curry chicken in a "controlled environment" at Camp 1. Cooking was cool because we got to eat food we cooked by ourselves. I cut myself with the edge of the tin but I enjoyed opening tins with jack knives even though it was S-L-O-W. I can't believe I actually complained about sleeping on the grass in a tent on Day 1 after I experienced worse over the next few days.
DAY2
We had this PT thing with the 5 basic exercises and a run in the morning and raising of the flags. It is so weird that we have to tuck in our shirts everytime we raise the flag. And the tj peopl in Camp 1were quite slow in raising the flags sometimes. But never mind, it's great that they volunteered to do the job. We were blindfolded AGAIN. Lishan really loves her blindfolds. This time we went into the tunnel/sewage thing with Tock Seng. It was really hot and everything. I was seriously drenched when I came out. It was rather frustrating trying to get all the jigsaw pieces and piecing them together. We did not get all the pieces because we didn't search thoroughly enough the first time and had to go through it AGAIN. Then Sarah touched a lizard which was totally GROSS. And we only had 2 light sources to be shared between the 2 watches. What was worse was that the jigsaw pieces were of lousy quality so they kept being torn out together with the masking tape which was used to be stuck to the tunnels. But I think it was really fun going in together into the tunnels as a group and shouting "HUMP", "TURN RIGHT" and etc. to each other. Sarah's "1,2,3, BLOW!" to cool everyone in the tunnel was really hilarious too. Then, Lishan was either "sick" or having some family matters to deal with and she left. A new instructor, Kiah Hong came. Haha. He's quite funny. He taught us belaying and then we were allowed to climb the rockwall. And then came the blindfolds. AGAIN! We were challenged to blindfold ourselves and attach ourselves to a partner and climb to the top of the wall (in pairs). Peiyu was inspiring. She held on even though she had some difficulty climbing and she did not give up. YAY! I climbed to the top but sadly the tape thing came out so I wasn't attached to Zhengliang and we didn't reach the top together but never mind. I was seriously surprised that I could climb so high because in P5 camp, I could not climb beyond the 3m thing. It was sad. After climbing, we trekked to Camp 2 and had dinner in the dark. Tensions were high because the rice wasn't cooking fast enough and everywhere was dirty (no detergent to wash our tins and pots) and I didn't bathe. Hah I know you will say I'm dirty and lazy but I was too tired to care already. My haversack was heavy but I realised it only felt so because I forgot to put the waist thing the next day. Camp 1 seemed a lot better compared to Camp 2.
DAY3
We continued the PT thing with Steven and Kiah Hong. Then, our 2 brilliant instructors SCAMMED us. According to them, there were news. Bad news: We are going trekking again. Good news: The school called up OBS to tell them that NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC wanted to have a feature article on NY so they remembered the 30 of us who weren't away on holiday like the rest coz we are in OBS so we were supposed to write something for the article and take pictures. -.-" It was so fake. AND LAME. So we trekked about 10km. We went to this German girl shrine, passed by this holiday resort (which was super qian bian when we were suffering throughout the trek), reached the peak of pulau ubin and saw the most magnificent view of a quarry and shouted washington and nanyang loudly such that we heard ECHOES and went to another quarry (ketam quarry) in an attempt to build a raft which failed. Along the way, we kept asking passers-by (tourists and residents) to transport us along, carry our bags etc. HAHA. Then we trekked (apparently all the sightseeing in front was a detour) to our last campsite- a disgustingly rocky place where we had NO TOILETS! I didn't sleep a wink the whole night. I just kept waking up whenever the instructors shone their headlights and waved the thermometer at feverish Nicole. It was too difficult to sleep on rocks. We had to pee in the bushes too. Ee Hsien and co shitted in the bushes. I was glad with my accomplishment though that I survived the trek and didn't give up.
DAY4
We were finally returning to Camp 1. After the ordeal of having no toilets, Camp 1 seemed like a 5star resort. SERIOUSLY. We went kayaking for 7km too! I kayaked with Zhengliang and Hoon first. It was fun and tiring and we almost gave up but I'm glad we still reached Frog Island (pulau sekudu which I'm not sure how to spell). Not that it was particularly exciting there. We saw a jellyfish hauled up on a paddle by Steven and I had to pee in the sea. The kayaking journey back to Camp 1 after that was scary. I was kayaking with Caijing and Nettie and I was very tired. Hoon and Zhengliang seriously seemed stronger after I experienced the return journey. We were stuck in some poles covered with barnacles and I was panicking coz I thought we were going to perish on the sea there. YIKES. But we made it out and reached Camp 1 pretty fast because of the tide and the wind. Although the tide nearly killed us because it kept blowing us to shore. Kiah Hong and Steven scammed us again. They kept going round us with the kayaks in their speedboat and making us bob up and down on huge waves made by the speedboat. And they still CLAIMED they were doing that to test their engines. So incredulous. But I admit it was quite fun. I LOVE KAYAKING! At least you get to eat all the snacks and you don't need to carry heavy stuff. We cheered during our debrief (what say you say and shan ge) and it was fun! Our last campsite was an oceanview one at Camp 1 and I think it was great compared to the other campsites. It looked like the OBS journey had turned for the better. We got to shower and this time I treasured it wholeheartedly. We also binged loads of dinner food from the cookhouse. It was pure heaven after all the not-so-skilled cooking we had at the previous 2 campsites (excludes the 1st day because Lishan helped us). We also chatted quite a bit after dinner before going to bed. I had a great sleep that night. It was brilliant.
DAY5
We had PT and flagraising again but I didn't complain so much. After all, we were at Camp 1 the brilliant 5star resort and I could bear with PT. We did the 5 basic exercises but we did some dance thing in sec one the one you tap your foot in place of the run. We wanted to do nan zhong quan but we forgot all the moves and the algorithm march was just so boring. We cheered again (what say you say again and unite). Then, we put up this TV show thing for Steven and Kiah Hong and 2 other instructors. It was an Ultimate Guide to Survival in OBS. Nettie, Natalee and Ee Hsien were brilliant narrators (or should I call them sugar, spice and everything nice? or maybe the sweeties haha). We basically acted out 3 tips. Tip 1: Drink ample water or you suffer some consequence which was Charis acting out having spasms and collapsing and us calling Steven and Kiah Hong who walk in gayly together. HAHA. The instructors were all depicted gayly. Tip 2 was to never believe your instructors and we acted out the national geographic thing. I forgot to mention that Steven and Kiah Hong attempted to continue their scam- Steven put on some drawing of a tie and shirt which had the National Geographic sign on it plus a moustache and Kiah Hong had a moustache so they were trying to act like the people who asked. ROFL. Tip 3 was about having nice instructors (because they kept asking Nicole who had a fever to measure her temp. and drink lots of watr which was really kind of them). Just that Sharlene thought they were wild boars and we kept waking up. The performance was fun and hilarious. TEEHEE. Then we packed our stuff in the store and washed everything. Thankfully, washington didn't need to pay for any damages or losses. We tried to steal a bottle cap to make up for the one Kangyan lost at sea but it was so fortunate that Tock Seng had an extra one coz we failed at the stealing. I'm so GLAD. Then we got back our valuables and bought the souvenirs and went home. The bus ride back to school was kind of sad. I miss the camp in a weird way. I believe what the instructors said at pulau ubin- Your real journey begins when you step back onto punggol jetty. Seriously, OBS felt like a training school to teach you how to live your life to the fullest. I think I really feel I'm out there in the real world right now.
I have to admit that OBS is dirty and gross but it's still the best camp ever. It's extremely meaningful and enriching and I will never forget it. I would probably not consider becoming an instructor but I don't mind going back to pulau ubin again to see the instructors. If I ever go back for another camp, I will believe what others say- OBS is truly fun.

FOOD
Since I'm in organic food sabbatical, I am very fortunate to taste all kinds of delicious yet healthy food. Thankfully they have somehow formed a part of my (rather large) diet and so I don't eat too much junk. Haish but I'm totally bingeing AGAIN! I cannot control myself. I seriously think there's something wrong with me. I keep thinking that I won't stop eating till there is nothing left for me to eat.
I considered being a chef once but I think I can't. If I become so brilliant at cooking one day, I will just eat myself to death (through all the diseases and stuff). I mean, whoever heard of a chef who works out every day? So I must NOT be a chef in the near future.
Nevertheless, food still rocks. I didn't know organic food could taste so nice. I love the BROWNIES, BROWN RICE, PANCAKES, OAT MUFFINS and VEGETABLES!Only thing is I doubt I will have time to cook all these again. I always tell myself, holidays you are freeer, so you should cook! But then, I never do.
I'm feeling hungry again. My stomach IS like a bottomless pit. Ok maybe it's just me tempting myself.
I feel so proud that I'm posting such a LONG post. I'm going to bed after this. TKSS Investiture was quite nice today. Their reception is really very good and they are all very nice people. It's just the weather that's too hot. I feel so terrible that I didn't practise the chem car at all because I returned to school late. Oh well, I really hope we can get something on Saturday.
Quoting Germaine: "You must always have a dream and not give up and you will achieve it". Hah, that's just so cliche. But I've been hearing it so many times already...
About tomorrow's assembly slot: I seriously think algorithm marches are so hilarious. I think it's going to be so fun doing it. I just can't stop laughing when I see it. HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The videos on youtube can seriously make you ROFL.
Haish, Zexin, please recover from your sprain. Buy an ankle guard/brace (from those larger Guardians) or tape up your ankle EVERYTIME you train. Don't injure yourself again.

SWIM
Yay, we won so much ice-cream for the carnival. Ok, I know it's quite bad because we train and all but anyway there were about 3 or 4 people so it's kind of fated that almost everyone will win the ice-cream. HAH now I'm going to pig out on ice-cream for a month at least.
JEEZ. I lost to my brother in 2 events. Oh well, and a caucasian 13 year old. That's sad. But never mind, I've lost touch with swimming for so long anyway. 2nd's quite alright I suppose...
Loads of homework but I managed to finish. I begin to realise how blogs can distract people (like me). I'm itching to change my skin but I don't know what to change to...
MORE FOOD TOMORROW! I'm getting fat. REAL fat. How do I stop eating???
I seriously binge on food when I'm stressed. I need to find healthier ways to destress. Before this worsens till I need to see a psychologist.

BACK TO EARTH
I just feel so out of place after not using the computer for like 2 days. It's all due to the lousy internet connection. ARGH. I have 26 mails and I realise how I have lost touch with people so I went around reading blogs today.
I was particularly intrigued with Yanquan's blog. Here she goes again, giving her opinions out loud. But I do have some changes to make to her statements. For one, yes, I do admit I USED to have strict upbringing. I say "USED" because it was only when I was younger. It is extremely crucial to be treated strictly according to the right way when one is young so as to build a strong moral foundation. I do not deny that I have detested it but then again, it is good. It only SEEMS as though I'm still under this strict control by my parents because I am the one giving MYSELF the expectations. I'm trying to discipline myself strictly (especially in the area of academics which is rather I obvious I know). I am thankful that in secondary school, my parents have learnt to cut me some slack and let me have the autonomy for certain things. Either it was that way, or I'm simply too brilliant at arguing :D
I'm busy as Yanquan has said and I know I have been stoning a lot. When I sit, I just stare into space. Of course, when you stone you don't exactly smile. But that doesn't mean that I'm gloomy or anything. I'm a very "short-term" person. Whatever things I experience, I forget or get over it easily. So even if I were really actually upset about anything, I will just return to my normal self. I am grateful that Yanquan is so concerned about our teammates but really, in my case, it is quite unnecessary.
But there is one big problem with me. My fitness has dipped and er..my reflexes are far too slow. I'm getting irritated with myself. I suppose this is some dark tunnel which I have to emerge from or something and now I'm just groping about in the dark. I just need to solve it myself.
For school, I'm really pleased with my sabbaticals. I got both my first choices- tchoukball and organic food! I had been hoping that tchoukball would be somewhat like floorball and I would be dead tired and perspiring all over from it so that I can improve my fitness along the way...but somehow it wasn't what I had expected. Never mind, I still enjoy the game though. As for organic food, I'm really pleased to learn to cook and enjoy healthy food. They are surprisingly delicious you know! I think I really like food a lot. If I turn out to be good at cooking, I don't mind becoming a chef next time if I can't get some good job like a researcher or a professor. HAHA.
It's open house and sports clinic tomorrow. I hope my sore ankles recover from school and blaze training by then. If not, I will die wearing court shoes...
I just realised that my blogskin looks so pessimistic because it's so dark. Maybe that's way Yanquan thinks I'm upset. I shall change to something else.

Catching Up
I just realised that I really have lost touch with people amidst all my busy schedules. I have not read people's blog in ages until today when I decided to sort out my OWN blog and look at other people's. I suppose I have lost touch mostly with netballers seeing as I don't go down to court at all. But it's not that I don't want to go. I feel there's no point in going. Because everytime people go to court, they go there to play. But I CAN'T play! Which is really extremely frustrating for me because I can't perspire till my uniform's soaked. I mean, I don't mind wearing a pe shirt in the morning and then change after court but that means playing court would need begin and occur at regular times. Which I know isn't possible. And if I voice my opinions out after doing this wearing shirt thing, people might not be so willing to accomodate me. So I just don't go to court.
Ok, so I managed to read people's blog and connect back to earth(seems like I've been floating around on some other planet the past few weeks). But I really did waste 3 entire hours. So I'm burning midnight (rather morning seeing as it's 3am now)oil to finish stuff. It is worth it though. But I really wished I hadn't slacked off too much until I went to check out some irrelevant stuff and wasted my time. AHHHHH.
On a side note, I changed my blogskin again. Everytime I update something, it means I change my blogskin. I have no idea why I have this weird habit. But I haven't the faintest idea what "hearts that never lean must fall" means. I'm just using the blogskin for fun. Because it seemed easy enough to change within a few minutes. I shall go back to good old trig; it's so FUN!-.-

We did not get all the pieces because we didn't search thoroughly enough the first time and had to go through it AGAIN. Then Sarah touched a lizard which was totally GROSS. And we only had 2 light sources to be shared between the 2 watches. What was worse was that the jigsaw pieces were of lousy quality so they kept being torn out together with the masking tape which was used to be stuck to the tunnels. But I think it was really fun going in together into the tunnels as a group and shouting "HUMP", "TURN RIGHT" and etc. to each other. Sarah's "1,2,3, BLOW!" to cool everyone in the tunnel was really hilarious too. Then, Lishan was either "sick" or having some family matters to deal with and she left. A new instructor, Kiah Hong came. Haha. He's quite funny. He taught us belaying and then we were allowed to climb the rockwall. And then came the blindfolds. AGAIN! We were challenged to blindfold ourselves and attach ourselves to a partner and climb to the top of the wall (in pairs). Peiyu was inspiring. She held on even though she had some difficulty climbing and she did not give up. YAY! I climbed to the top but sadly the tape thing came out so I wasn't attached to Zhengliang and we didn't reach the top together but never mind.

Hah I know you will say I'm dirty and lazy but I was too tired to care already. My haversack was heavy but I realised it only felt so because I forgot to put the waist thing the next day. Camp 1 seemed a lot better compared to Camp 2.

We continued the PT thing with Steven and Kiah Hong. Then, our 2 brilliant instructors SCAMMED us. According to them, there were news. Bad news: We are going trekking again.

AND LAME. So we trekked about 10km. We went to this German girl shrine, passed by this holiday resort (which was super qian bian when we were suffering throughout the trek), reached the peak of pulau ubin and saw the most magnificent view of a quarry and shouted washington and nanyang loudly such that we heard ECHOES and went to another quarry (ketam quarry) in an attempt to build a raft which failed. Along the way, we kept asking passers-by (tourists and residents) to transport us along, carry our bags etc. HAHA. Then we trekked (apparently all the sightseeing in front was a detour) to our last campsite- a disgustingly rocky place where we had NO TOILETS! I didn't sleep a wink the whole night.

We were stuck in some poles covered with barnacles and I was panicking coz I thought we were going to perish on the sea there. YIKES. But we made it out and reached Camp 1 pretty fast because of the tide and the wind. Although the tide nearly killed us because it kept blowing us to shore. Kiah Hong and Steven scammed us again.

We wanted to do nan zhong quan but we forgot all the moves and the algorithm march was just so boring. We cheered again (what say you say again and unite). Then, we put up this TV show thing for Steven and Kiah Hong and 2 other instructors. It was an Ultimate Guide to Survival in OBS.

ROFL. Tip 3 was about having nice instructors (because they kept asking Nicole who had a fever to measure her temp. and drink lots of watr which was really kind of them). Just that Sharlene thought they were wild boars and we kept waking up. The performance was fun and hilarious. TEEHEE. Then we packed our stuff in the store and washed everything. Thankfully, washington didn't need to pay for any damages or losses. We tried to steal a bottle cap to make up for the one Kangyan lost at sea but it was so fortunate that Tock Seng had an extra one coz we failed at the stealing. I'm so GLAD.

I had been hoping that tchoukball would be somewhat like floorball and I would be dead tired and perspiring all over from it so that I can improve my fitness along the way...but somehow it wasn't what I had expected. Never mind, I still enjoy the game though. As for organic food, I'm really pleased to learn to cook and enjoy healthy food. They are surprisingly delicious you know! I think I really like food a lot. If I turn out to be good at cooking, I don't mind becoming a chef next time if I can't get some good job like a researcher or a professor. HAHA.
It's open house and sports clinic tomorrow. I hope my sore ankles recover from school and blaze training by then. If not, I will die wearing court shoes...
I just realised that my blogskin looks so pessimistic because it's so dark. Maybe that's way Yanquan thinks I'm upset. I shall change to something else.

Catching Up
I just realised that I really have lost touch with people amidst all my busy schedules. I have not read people's blog in ages until today when I decided to sort out my OWN blog and look at other people's. I suppose I have lost touch mostly with netballers seeing as I don't go down to court at all. But it's not that I don't want to go. I feel there's no point in going. Because everytime people go to court, they go there to play. But I CAN'T play! Which is really extremely frustrating for me because I can't perspire till my uniform's soaked. I mean, I don't mind wearing a pe shirt in the morning and then change after court but that means playing court would need begin and occur at regular times. Which I know isn't possible. And if I voice my opinions out after doing this wearing shirt thing, people might not be so willing to accomodate me. So I just don't go to court.
Ok, so I managed to read people's blog and connect back to earth(seems like I've been floating around on some other planet the past few weeks). But I really did waste 3 entire hours. So I'm burning midnight (rather morning seeing as it's 3am now)oil to finish stuff. It is worth it though. But I really wished I hadn't slacked off too much until I went to check out some irrelevant stuff and wasted my time. AHHHHH.
On a side note, I changed my blogskin again. Everytime I update something, it means I change my blogskin. I have no idea why I have this weird habit. But I haven't the faintest idea what "hearts that never lean must fall" means. I'm just using the blogskin for fun. Because it seemed easy enough to change within a few minutes. I shall go back to good old trig; it's so FUN!-.-

profile.
I'm Yu Xuan and fifteen this year. This means I'm sadly not entitled to many things. My life is under control currently (thanks to my very practical and sensible parents). I may appear sensible to you but you must never judge a book by its cover.
