Outward Bound Singapore(mon 25aug08)

At punggol jetty, a boat ferried us to OBS camp2 at Pulau Ubin.
There are two mobiles all together. Each mobile has a total of 4 groups.
I was the only girl from regent in my group "RALEIGH".
The first friend i knew from other school was Tricia. Nice to know her(:
On that day, our instructor, Fong appointed the various i/c.
Im the food i/c for the first day and i was like lost in the wonderland.
The first time i had to coordinate all the rations that was given for five days for 16people. I was like freaked out.
Took a group photo on the first day. The photo was lifeless to me...cos i cannot sense any togetherness yet. We were very shy and were unfamiliar with each other.
Feel like going home and was regret about going to OBS at first. I thought i was facing a dismal perilous journey of OBS at first.
We did a particular activity to test if we have mutual trust between our group members. 7people were to pull one side of the sheet, 8people were to pull another side of the sheet(there was handles to hold on/pull by the sides). One person stands at a particular height on something, back facing the rest of the groups members, ready to fall on the sheet. Everyone has to attempt it.
The command goes like this...
person: Raleigh ready?
group members: Raleigh ready, Raleigh pull.
person: falling
group members: fall on

#something like that#
Climb a 'high' element. It was sarcastic;p Learn to be a climber, belayer, ankleman, ropeman.
I was assigned to cook my group dinner. If you know me well...you should know i CMI. Luckily, Pei Ling, Foong Mei, Hafiz, Shariff help me with the dinner.
We have to pitched our own tents for us to sleep in. I was damn sleepy but cannot fall asleep. Maybe, i had not get acclimatise to a new condition.

Oh ya! Let me introduce my instructor and group members.

Group members: me, Tricia, Hafiz(regent), Zhong Yi, Shariff, Pei Ling, Foong Mei, Kevin, Rong Tat, Nisa, Hafiz(yuhua), Aaron, Gurmeet,Karthik, Hafizah, Nelson.
