outward bound 2008


first of all,

and most importantly of course,

amanda's back. heh.

okay so anyway,


outward bound singapore. (tshirt logo i took. i got bored.)

outward bound for the most part was fun. but that doesnt include feeding the mosquitos there and leaving me with over 20 bites. and it doesnt include the three bruises and cuts and blisters i brought back from the five days over at pulau ubin.

but my group was awesome and they made me smile and go high over the lamest jokes.

"eh sand can fly leh! ..sandflies!"

i think we laughed for over five minutes over that line.

and on the days we were deprived of toilet facilities at one of the campsites next to the beach, we drowned ourselves in powder in our tents. and we woke up uber early every morning. or at least we try to.

the land expeditions were tedious. it wasnt long, around 3 to 4km, but the only problem was our huge huge backpacks filled with three days worth of clothes, food and 4kg of water. and the terrain wasnt the easiest to walk on with my recently recovered sprained ankle.

i think all of us enjoyed the sea expedition a hell of a lot more than the land one. instead of kayaking 1km from kekek quarry to obs base 1, they made us go in the opposite direction to kayak around pulau ubin for 16km to reach base one. and we got caught in the storm halfway through so we beached up and slept at the shelter for an hour. but we continued after that all the way back to base one.

but everyone was smiling cause kayaking was the love.

and everyone swayed together when we all had motion sickness after the expedition.


so anyway,

amanda is sleepy and tired so the rest of the details shall be left out.

one last picture.

and i just need to let someone know,

i'll keep the promises i made.
