obs my love

 hello i decided to drop in bc i have 7 minutes to my “official” sleeping time for today. so im going to talk abt obs! (outward bound singapore) blog idea creds ilyana. anyway so firstly i like camps a lot and yea stuff like that so i was looking forward to obs for the longest time ever (probably since after my p6 camp HELP) anyway yup so i was so excited we got to go for a 2d1n residential camp (its like overnight hehehehe) and like ofc when i went it didn’t disappoint! although i thought it would be more intense i liked that my campsite was more of recreational activities at the beach 😅🤣 my watch (basically means group) did mainly kayaking for both days. for the first day when we reached we just got like briefings and stuff and tbh i thought it would be rly boring cos “briefings” yk but it was quite interacting and all the instructors there were rly funny and engaging. then after that they gave us out food rations and we got a lot of instant stuff … me and raeann ate vegetarian porridge for lunch. it was…disappointing. tasted worse everytime we took another bite. ok then after the not very satisfying lunch we started learning kayaking! its actually really easy to paddle when kayaking (or maybe cos i did in pri sch camps so got some foundation alr). what was difficult was the capsizing drill 😐 me and raeann capsized so easily but we couldnt get up on the kayak for like half an hour 🤣🤣😍😍 felt like i had abs after that horrible core exercise. the instructor gave us like 1038749328 ways to get up and we still didnt manage to until like. 30 min yea. then after kayaking we went to shower and honestly the experience was not that bad there was rly small water flow and it was difficult to wash sand out of my hair 😊 (we kayaked at changi beach) but other than that things were good and no one was rly rushing us. next we had tent pitching! it was so different from NPCC tent pitching and was so much easier. me, raeann and vivian volunteered to demonstrate the tent pitching and it was fine tbh. then we had dinner! and dinner disappointed as well. rice was overcooked, had canned side dishes that tasted like metal (honestly i think its cos my spoon wasnt clean … did not get stomachache though #strong) and diluted corn soup. i passed my bedtime but wtv i want to continue. ok so after dinner me and raeann helped to pitch the rest of the tents (vivian joined in after a while) then like we had briefing abt the next day’s “expedition” then we went to sleep. btw i got like 1h of sleep only bc it was so warm and uncomfortable and ppl kept talking in like other tents. we all woke up arnd 5-5+ am and arnd like 6am we started playing games 😅 it was kind of awkward to mingle with other ppl who we werent close to but the games were interactive and fun so 🫶 good start to the day. then we had like our expedition after! we started like kayaking and stuff and we almost kayaked to tekong LMAO. me and raeann ate chicken porridge in the kayak. the chicken porridge was good. oh we also kayaked in the rain it started raining on our way to the location near tekong. anyway we then kayaked back and for like 10 min the instructors told us to keep paddling and not stop because there was an actually big boat waiting for us to cross bfr heading out HELP. anyway when we got back to changi campsite we washed the kayaks and stuff and went to shower (exposing myself but i actually only rinsed on the second day cos a lot of ppl in toilet…) and anyway after that i ate vegetarian porridge again and surprisingly it didnt taste that bad that day. maybe i was just starving. 2 porridges for lunch 🤣🤣😅😅 then after that i think we just had some reflection time thingy abt obs and we like prepared to go back alr 😢 obs was TOO SHORT im so emo rn. i want to go back so bad i’ve said this like 194893937 times already. oh but things i dont miss in obs is the self cooked food, sleep, carrying of kayaks (they are SO heavy my arms were going to snap) other than that obs was so fun. also tmi but my sleep schedule got fixed just by attending obs??? the day bfr obs i got like 2.5h sleep and during obs i got 1h sleep then my june hols sleeping time was like …. dawn (not going to specify!) but after obs i could sleep bfr 10 or arnd 10+…. sleep schedule fixed 🔥🔥 so nowadays im sleeping 8h every night thats why i give myself bedtime but today im late ok now i’ll go alr! oh ya more tmi im trying to keep screentime below 3.5h idk if i managed to do so today hope i did ok BYE i love obs
