Ferry at the OBS jetty |
|
7 Dayz trip to OBS (Pulau Ubin) - 31 July to 4 August 2000 Getting Started This trip was sponsored by our school (North View Sec) in the year 2000 (Sec 3) . Our meeting place were at the Punggol Jetty in the late morning and everybody were ready to start the journey and couldn't wait for the excitement. There were crowds of other students from other schools such as Jintai Sec, Upper n Lower Seletar Sec. Once we have reached OBS jetty, we were told not to take pictures in the area but for what i care. I manage to take one picture of the entrance.
On the left side of the picture, therez kind of a cross structure - that is called the Indiana Multi - Element Challenge. It is a ship which activities such as walking across the rope, and climbing activities. But unfortunately we did not touch the area. Nearby it therez a rock for abseiling activities which i will elaborate later. If im not wrong, the right side of the pic was for kayaking activities. We then proceed to the complex as you can see the white building in the middle. The scene behind that building was like this...
This is where our morning Physical Exercise and gathering/meeting takes place. When we reached there, we were separated into two categories - Mobile or Residential. Those who is in residential were the ones who leads a happier life - have a dormitories with a proper toilets and beds. Those who in Mobile... Haha - stay in a camp site, where they have to dig out the soil in the trees in order to release human waste. I prefer mobile but ended up in Residential mode instead. Well, next we were formed in groups regardless of schools and that whole day we play games to get to know each other better. We were forced to memorize our group members' names cos we may be questioned by the instructors. We were guided to our dormitories. The dormitories were situated along the high hills somewhere near the complex, and side-by-side with other groups' dormitories. The scene was like a group of kampung area.That night, Our instructor told us to pen down our objectives from this camp. Well this is what i wrote... (Coming Soon - Objectives) ____________________ Every morning, we have our Physical Exercise whereby we have to run up and down and around the OBS campsite. Phew.. can't remember how much skinnier i can be.. BUT after that we had our sumptuous meal 3 to 4 times a day. Wow..
