Outward Bound Singapore(tue 26aug08)

My group woke up very late and Fong was very disappointed with us. She lamented our efficiency of doing work that we decided to work extra hard on our efficiency. We have our morning exercise and jogging. Played some games before we start our activities.
Activities (1) Rock wall climbing
(2) Hiking
(3) Kayaking
I injured myself during rock wall climbing but was oblivious to it. Scratches here and there. Haha:p
Hike for half an hour. It is not just hiking...we have to carry lots of things that was really very heavy to OBS camp1.(two person to one backpacks provided by OBS^^i shared with Tricia^^--our two days clothes each , one poncho each, one life vest each, basic necessity each, two 2litres bottles each etc)
My kayak partner is kevin. We have to carry all the kayak near the shore. Learn to kayak and capsize(a drill). When i was going to stand up on my foot after capsizing, my knee come in contact with rough rocks. The rocks inflicted a wound on my knee.
Everyone will take turn to kayak and capsize.
After the drill, we kayak for approximately 2 hours. It was consider a short distance away from the shore. My partner and I capsize at the deep sea. Not accidentally but delibrately(assigned by instructor). Another kayak act as a rescurer to rescue us. There is actually a technique to rescue. Bear this in mind. You cannot rescue another kayak by jumping into the sea which the television programmes always showed.
The food i/c for that day is Hariz(regent). He likes to cook so i appointed him. He was so lucky, he did not need to cook at all, OBS provide us with a proper meal.
We have to pitched tent away from OBS camp1. It took us 15min to walk to our sleeping area where we could pitced our tents there.
