Well, after a four days three nights obs course, finally it's home sweet home. Currently now at su room while the rest are outside training.
OBS day 1- meet in school, bus to puggol jetty and then met up with the rest of the obs instructors. Ferry to obs and about 75m away from the shore, the ferry stop. First task, abandoned the ship and must swim to the shore. A great way to get started. Same group with rui, en kai and peiru, ambrose and matthew. Those was the only people i know on the start. Group name was dhanabalan. Great group!!=) Washed up, changed and into everest- which was our learning room. Icebreaker, history of OBS and much more was learnt in the room. Drew our 16th member which was so called the perfect leader. Lunch and out to play traffic jam, 3 stages. First free and easy, next was strict, lastly was still strict but without communication. From that learnt that communication was important in a team. Out to belaying, had to learn the methods of it and then off we are to the inverse tower. Partner was En Kai, managed to do both the inside and the outside of the inverse tower with en kai. Great teamwork with my partner, as well as those belaying and those supporters=) Dinner and then back to learn more things in Everest. Learnt about the Johari window. Fire drill and off to supper. Back to bunk and called it a day.
OBS day 2- woke up at 0550, flag raising and then morning games with morning pt which was the 5BX exercises. After that was breakfast, after breakfast, went up to store, stock count and started packing for our trackking stuffs into the bags. Andy who was our facil, explained some things to us and then off we go to trackking. Matt was our pathfinder and en kai was stepcounter. Well, along the way, miscounted steps and everything but it was better, as those were the changelles faced in life! Yeah we have to overcome it together, if anyone was to give up, we wouldnt have reach our destination. Finally we reach to the querry, jumped in to swim/bathe, soak awhile and off we go to pitch our tents, done it quickly and off to outdoor cooking. Wen zhong and me ate super fast, as we the sea expedition leader had breifing. Was breif about the role and path and obstacle of the route and had to settle role among ourself. Did it, planned things and off to breifing to our group members, and soon powder bathe and off to bed.
OBS day 3- woke up at 4, had sentry duty till 5 before waking all of them up. Kept all our stuffs, breakfast and off we are to kaycking lessons, capisizing drills. When everyone was done, it was luanching time. Off we are, took a wrong turn in the swarm which was once used to be a prawn farm, but in the end we managed to find the mud pool. Mud pool was damn cham, crawl out but 3 was stuck it in, had to execute resuce mission, therefore went back to help them, and off we are thr the mud pool. Had to push quite a distance as we had 5 people on the kayck and could paddle as our kayck willl sink fast into the mud. Soon after very long managed to meet up with then rest and soon it was time to cross the road. Break for awhile before moving on out back to camp 1, it was a smooth sailing journey back=) dinner, lessons and off to bed.
OBS day 4, everyone overslept as we were all so tired, but managed to get there before flag raising cermony. PLayed games, 5 bx and run 3 rounds around OBS-inside joke. Breakfast, off to clean our equipments, bathe, back to everest for some lessons and off to lunch. After lunch was skid performing time and soon was the final debrief, certi giving and off we are into the jetty. Headed straight home after and knock out!
That all for OBS, really enjoyed myself alot and dhanabalan was a GREAT group!!=)
