this entry is 3 days late..as with most of my things.. late that is..more than 3 days mostly actually..alrighty then.. obs was absolutely fantastic, i guess i could say tt it was everything i expected it to be only that it was so much more. was really quite sore over the fact tt the odac ppl had to be split up but looking back at it, it really wouldnt have been outward bound if we didnt get split up.. gotta agree with honghui on this one.. if we didnt get split up we wouldnt have left our comfort zones..and thats exactly the point abt obs right.. leaving your comfort zones..anyway got fellow odacers joel n nazhar in my watch n together with 11 other ppl from aj, sr n ji.. and of course boon our wonderful instructor, we formed Kurt 905/03!!! Kurt was great man.. at first it felt weird..think about it man.. complete strangers.. 9 days..then again there was this kinda excited feeling of getting to know all these new people.. but honestly..it was just mostly apprenhension.. will i be able to get along with them.. will we work well..will we gel..thankfully.. it didnt take too long for us to warm up n woohooo i say we were more than a fine watch =D the 9 days were split up into a 3d2n land ex 24h solo n 3d2n sea ex. we got to use the bunks this time round.. to put our stuff in tho only... sheesh its like we had a different campsite every night and sometimes our campsite was right at the doorstep of the obs campus.. man the bunks n beds were so near yet so far man... quite silly.. at night u pack ur stuff n trudge from the bedroom into the open to sleep in a tent.. ah well... obs has made me learn a lot of things -firstly, having an undisturbed sleep the whole night through is a priviledge you should not take for granted.. of the 8 nights in the tent..i think there was only one night when i slept all the way through.. almost every night i would wake up at least 3 to 4 times. even though it didnt take long for me to go back to sleep its tiring to keep waking up.. and sometimes my bites would be itching so much i would itch the scratched until i fell back asleep.. lol which brings me to -point no. 2. never ever forget about the mosquitoes on ubin. they are terrible and they will not spare u if u forget to use repellant. on night 1 our watch happily went to pitch our tents and we totally forgot about those nasty little pests. when the sun set, the mosquitoes had a mighty feast man.. i sustained about 100 bites on tt night alone.... am not kidding -point 3. zippo lighter fuel is good for outdoor cooking.. saves u a lot of frustration -fourth. my kayaking technique had been totally wrong man from since dunno when!!!! thankfully carol pointed it out to me or i think i would never have made it to the causeway and back... hai.. -e. kayaking to the causeway from coney island and back to sembawang is totally possible (ie:30km) lots of credit goes to the fantastic sea ex leaders!!!! -f. i am unable to run 9k. its ok .. i shall make it someday.. or maybe not.. hahaha last thing we did for obs was a 9k run...perhaps i started out with the wrong attitude which is why i didnt manage to run the 9k but i guess i was just being realistic..seriously, running long distances is just not my thing...just dont have tt umph to keep running...and ive got this mentality.. when u get too darn tired.. u'll end up jogging realllllyy slowly.. and if u walk fast..u'll actually be walking faster.. so why run? hahaha i dont know if tt mentality will ever change and ya ya i know i should change tt mentality right.. haha but hmm well.. we'll see .. hahaha -7th.i can walk/run across a log without clutching on to the belay rope =D -eighth.hiking with a heavy backpack isnt that tough.. or maybe my bagpack was lighter than last time -ninth. pitching tents wernt as irritating as i remembered it to be -tenthly. i have a wonderful internal body system. 9 days of unhygenic food n dirty hands n i didnt get diarrhoea.. wow thats what i call powerful. and whenever we were out on expedition, i never got the feeling to go bomb.. hahaha miraculously.. the feeling never came unless i was safely back at obs camp 1.. hahaha -11th. 24hs by yourself really isnt that long. oh hey another thing.. i finally got to use my poncho!!! haha after owing it for 1 yr and using it for stupid things like hornet drills n fake hypothermia.. i finally got to use it for real... on our land ex it rained like eck n woohoo it totally came in handy.. the lousy obs ones were hardly waterproof!!! 2nd time in obs and i still didnt get to try out the indiana high rope challenge.. the last time it was being built and now it's under maintainance and still didnt get to go to the quarry..ah well.. there's always a 3rd time right.. good things always come in threes.. hahaha one last thing... fate had it that yew tong was the instructor for our buddy watch.. haha crescentians would know what i mean..hurhur.. and guess wad man!! he's a saint!!! not ex coz u know once a saint always a saint.. hahaha and he holds the national high jump record... whaa totally zai man... yeahh sa rocks.. hahaha all in all..obs really refreshed me.. made me realise the importance of the little things.. appreciate all the good things which u have in life.gave me the re-energising that you can only get while being outdoors and away from it all.. my folks really dont understand tt.. they saw my scars from the bites and stuff and my mum was like no more outdoor stuff for u after this and im like yeah right in your dreams.. there's no way she's going to be able to keep me away from the outside man... there's just to much tt i havent tried yet and there's no way im going to just sit around and not try it. ah well.. im sure i'll get around her when my next opportunity comes =P Thing of the day!!!~ Outward Bound Singapore.

You're an ESFJ ESFJ Well, what's there to say about ya, huh? You're a helpful person who places a high value on harmony. You pay close attention to people's needs and wants and work well with others to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. You follow through on your commitments...you like structure and closure and like situations where warmth and compassion is shown. You're at your best by organizing people in getting a job done. Radiate warmth and fellowship and generally fit in well with your classmates or workers....concerned about the feelings of others and like to help out when possible. You know it's important to give as well as receive and like to donate your services as a volunteer. You like to be with compatible people. You have an easier time making friends and accepting their roles in life... you like doing things traditionally.. you're old-fashioned that way. You take the parent, spouse, employee or whatever role seriously...you learn best in a situation where you know what you can expect...you don't like continued interruptions..you really have to get along and like your teachers to learn well from 'em, huh? You place a high value on following through on tasks and assignments...you take the time to see how things fit together in the big picture, but this sometimes slows you down and makes you feel like you're learning slower than others...you respect rules and authority.. you do what you can to make sure your relationships run smoothly... When you're in a leading situation, you pay attention to the needs of others. You often come across to others as friendly, warm and concerned....leisure is to be earned after work is done...like posting on the Storm Palace before playing the games.. ...you like including others in your relaxing... you like to have your social events regularly planned -- like a weekly softball league.. Love means warmth and commitment and you show this to your partner in many tangible ways...like cards and gifts and flowers and so on ...once you're committed, you stay in it even if it's an inconvenience to you...and maybe even longer than it's healthy...because you give so easily in a relationship, you're disappointed if others don't give as freely as you do.. you're more loyal to the institution of the relationship or marriage than the person...when burned in a relationship, you get hurt bad, and may need time to heal and get over it before moving on....you can really hurt someone if you wanted to... Watch for: you tend to avoid conflict and sweep problems under the rug.. learn how to manage conflict and appreciate that conflict can help people in relationships to understand each other better...value your own priorities more and don't always put others' needs ahead of your own...don't bite off more than you can chew...hard to take or give corrective feedback, isn't it? You may not always ask for appreciation that you deserve...you might need to develop more assertiveness that way..you assume you know what's best for others and state these opinions.. that might rub 'em wrong and make you look bossy and rigid.... don't get so caught up in the details that you forget the larger picture....
