OBS..

what a 5-day course..
what truly brought me out of the comfort zone wasn't going to pulau ubin, wasn't sleeping in tents and doing things we rarely do, but being separated from my friends..
realised that my adaptation is really weak..
so missing kayak-ing now.. it's really fun and tiring..

on the first night.. couldn't really sleep well.. still not comfortable without friends around.. then on the 2nd day went to start learning how to kayak and capsizing.. then went to campsite two where we spent the 2nd night at..
left my shoes outside the tent and most probably a wild dog came by and tried biting my sandals that's why some parts seem tattered.. felt really cold when woke up in the morning most probably because i was sleeping at the door of the tent.. and that was the only morning i felt cold..
then 3rd day expedition to pasir ris and spent the night there.. then during the expedition started to accept i have to spend the following days with this group of people so just learn how to get use to different kinds of people including those that you don't like..
then 4th day was really relaxing to kayak along the tides back to camp 1 where i felt was much better than the other 2 places and the difference in myself..
then spent the night on some ground with stones all over which caused my backache over the night..
and before that.. a 5-day course ended..

I must say i learned quite some things..
to appreciate this group of people we call friends who are going through the happenings in this complicated world out there with you..
and also understand the OBS's motto: to serve to strive and not to yield
to continuously help and help and help the others ignoring own benefit.. because only when you help the others, you're helping yourself..
and sadly, i only fully does so on the 4th day of the 5-day course..
but i still learned isn't it..

come to think of it.. living too long in this complicated city is not that beneficial for oneself.. hope for regular outdoor camps so as to constantly help myself to recap what one person must be to be alright..

that day when i got off the bus and saw eugene yuhui and weilun.. i was really quite delighted although i know some small things in them should have changed during this camp and really glad I'm back here with them..

Who really understand how great are your friends around you?

Going to be away for OBS for one whole week.. being in a watch without my closest friends..

Quite tiring these days though..
Sometimes although it seems tiring.. but it's so relaxing for me.. really don't mind being tired from so much of walking around places and just to spend time on somethings which may seem like we are wasting time..

it was just like a few days ago that i saw my seniors going off for OBS and telling my friends.. ONE MORE YEAR and we will be there.. but who knows.. it wasn't like one year's time for us to be packing our stuffs to go already.

As we grow older, we learned, what kind of feelings CAN be sown openly and what kind of feelings MUST be hidden deep inside you.. but with a few friends, I'm just so glad there's no such feelings policy applied on me.. because i know they won't mind..

life is tiring.. but if u are not tired, how do u feeling the happiness you get from the rewards?
