The camp OBS was fun the past five days. But it's a bit slacking because I thought that the camp was supposed to be more tough. The 1st day was boring because we had to do a lot of administrative work at least about half of the day, then we did some team games where Sanjeet was supposed to lead us as the whole group except him was blindfolded. It was quite fun as we had to trust each other and Sanjeet no matter how irritating and frustating it was girls were screaming. Then we did belaying which was fun and I really mean it Nadyah went to try it first, the climbing part was easy for her but the part where she has to go down was funny because she screamed a lot of times which was funny and I don't even know why maybe it's because after each time she scream she laughs. When it was my turn to belay Taufiq was the climber so I had two ankers to support me in case he falls down. The climbing part was so easy but,the part which he has to go down was surprising as after three people including me belaying him could fly a bit. At night we pitched my 1st tent with the other boys. I was so happy. The next day was fun as we did rock climbing man it was tough I only managed to reach three quarters of the wall so dissapointed in myself but no worries as I will improve then we went kayaking very boring as I've done it and I could not partner up with Taufiq as both of us are experience so we had to change partners. I ended up with another Nadia which was cool. We kayaked from campus 1 to campus 2 which was not far but we really toke a long time as we had to wait for the other kayakers behind us. The next day we had to do high element at the replica of sir Stamford Raffles ship when it reached Singapore it was looking a bit scary to me from below as it was high but when trying it, honestly it was not so scary as I'm experiencing climbing a ship which was high,then we had to start on our sea expedition to a campsite at least around 3km my partner was seasick around halfway of the expedition I was so god damn worried when reaching the shore she rested. At night we had to pitched our tents the location was like surrounded by forests that was so cool as that was what I look forward to,the girls had sleep at long grass and the boys had to sleep on the rocks which was like no difference. We had to do sanctuary duty which was so fun Nadia and Nadyah saw the wild boar and Sanjeet too. Samantha saw something which was white and luckily she ignored it or not....... The guys did not see anything boring. The next morning we continued our expedition to campus 2 around Pulau Ubin and once again Nadia was seasick and I really pity her because she keeps vomitting so I decided to let her rest and I kept kayaking alone which was tiring but worth as she was safely brought to campus 2 but during the lunch we were eating Nadia vomitted while we were eating and Bennie was disgusting he classified what Nadia was puking. In detail, very detailed. But we managed to reach campus 2 because of all our teamwork. At the last night we had a "feast" not so big but at least we ate quite a lot of food. The girls invited Yien to eat with us. The most wonderful thing happen to me Samantha fed me which was quite unexpected as who would want to feed me. I'm so thankful to her for that and for the rest of the members in MAGELLEN thank you for everything throughout the whole camp. Hafiz and Sanjeet was like disturbing me and Samantha just because we both are like just walking together almost all the time come on. The part where she fed me both of them was like singing a love song which was irritating. Hafiz liked Marissa but she has a boyfriend so he forget about her. The last day was mostly packing up after that the whole watch had to clean the girls toilet including the four boys. After that we did trust fall which was good as we had to trust each other to make sure that the person diving don't fall. I grab the bell as I wanted to make sure that I touched the bell. So kiasu of me.Nevermind about that I'll definitely miss the whole watch MAGELLEN love you guys especially Samantha thanks for the help throughout the camp.There is my story for obs camp hope you guys find it understandable. MAGELLEN rocks for life.
