OBS Day1

I always hated camps, probably because the bad memories of my dhs sec3 level camp is still lingering somewhere in my mind. I hate being all sweaty and tired and muddy, therefore, i dreaded going for OBS which is 'notrorious' for its harshness. But jy told me it was fun for him albeit all the physical strains.

Anyway, mum brought me to punggol jetty, somewhere which is really remote, it doesn't look like a jetty at all compared to that of the Changi jetty. Due to miscalculation of time, I arrived much earlier than others, while I was walking towards the jetty, a rotting duck head, full of ants, greeted me. That marked my miseries for the next 3 days. ( I avoided those millions of red ants together with the ant trails unlike others, thanks for greenlink, i'm now trained to avoid such things in the wild)

As time passed by, more and more people gathered at the small little tiny jetty and i was beginning worry if I was going to be squeezed off the wooden jetty, the local and overseas scholars ( including EMS) were all trying to squeeze themselves onto that pathetic piece of land. Later, the overseas scholars were separated from the locals and boarded the boat first, I had to shout to the officers to let them wait for Karen who is, as usual, late. But thank god, at last, she caught up with us.

We wasted quite a lot of time sitting at the MPH (multi purpose hall) at OBS waiting for the attendance to be taken and medical stuff to be cleared, after all the talks about how local and overseas scholars would be mixed in groups, they still decided to separate us, so there goes for my hope of being in the same grp as hongyi or cui ying or shan yan...arrrrrrhhhhh...almost immediately being split into groups, a few of us(including mo) were being called to the front, I could hear xinni screaming in shock "what?! wang mo you are the leader?!" well, may be she doesn't think that it is appropriate for me to be one, oh well, but i believe it is more because of her shock that her name wasn't called upon. But no worries to xinni, it turned out that we were called because of "not filling in the medical forms properly", haha, how ironic. AND HERE'S THE FRUSTRATING PART, APPARENTLY, THAT USELESS DOCTOR WHOM I MENTIONED DURING MY POST REGARDING MY MEDICAL CHECK UP, FORGOT TO GIVE ME ANOTHER VACCINATION! and when the OBS instructors looked at the stamp with the doctor's name, they weren't " WAHT?! HIM AGAIN!? BOOOOTTTHHHH" It seems that the doctor has already built his reputation among the obs instructors, they need not me to further elaborate on how 'well' the doctor's service was. sighz...but they managed to clear me, saying that as long as i do not injure myself with rusty stuff, it is okay.

After lunch, we went for rock climbing, I did it during the sec3 camp, but this time it is very very very very different, it is real thing!
