had navigation in the morning...my group consists of sheryl sim and yuexi [both our leaders for navigation], both eunice, pearlyn, erikca and me...we were the sporting group which did not noe how to use the compass to find the bearings...we managed to find more checkpoints than the other group...had lots of fun...i saw TWO WILD BOARS facing each other...so scary like as if they goin to fight...and they are quite big in size...we had rockclimbing in the afternoon...i din managed to clinged the top...coz my legs kept slipping off...stupid=.= then, we saw the mobile people coming to our campsite...then, i realised i missed my squadmates and my friends...i cried when i saw some of them...had a great night in the dom(:

we had rafting...munshi's design is the most creative and daring...while others are original and safe...we had fun time trying out the raft and all the rafts succeeded...none drown...so much fun(: later in the afternoon, we had kayaking...my partner is darli...both exactly different size ppl kayaking tgt...haha....had fun and laughter...did capsize drills with yuexi...i almost 'drown'...coz my legs got trapped in the kayak...wilfred saved me...oh then, we kayaked to campsite 2....on the way, we saw another group of crescentians....i saw prithika..haha...kayaking alone...
that day was CYNTHIA'S birthday too...then when reached campsite 2, we all had jetty jump...but i din go coz i'm scared as i carn swim..we did our own cooking for dinner...tried bernette's first time cooking of rice...it tasted a bit like claypot rice...coz underneath a bit chao tah...had a lot of laughter and fun during the dinner...later, we had to dig hole and throw all the leftovers inside the sand...therefore, we had a so-called "food funeral"...oh and the whole watch starting calling darli 'chick' and 'dude' haha....(:

sea expedition around the whole ubin...16 km...but i think i kayaked 20km coz darli and me had difficulty controlling the kayak...we left the campsite at 7am...planning to reach the campsite 1 at 5pm...end up reaching campsite 1 around 2 plus....miracle!!! actualli supposed to be one plus...but end up someone had to do her business in the sea...then we waited for her(:then, we had rest and supposed to hav night walk...so scary...end up, others told us it was cancelled...however, in the end only my watch did the night walk...i'm the 5th person to go off and i did it all alone...i was walking at the reservoir half way thru...no more batt for my torch light...so i walked back...wilfred gave me a RED LIGHT STICK...i refused to take it as i find it very scary to use a red 'torchlight' to walk in the dark alone...end up, wilfred gave me his head torch light...darli was the 2nd to go off...and a WILD BOAR walked pass her...she tried to open her KNIFE[can u imagine this girl bringing a knife wherever she goes+.+] but the knife got stucked...[carn imagine wad will happen if she managed to open the knife(:, maybe she will kill the wild boar...haha...]
at around 10 plus, we went back to dom...we wrote messages for wilfred and our watchmates...coz this camp maybe wilfred's last OBS camp too...he's leaving OBS...
