Day35
Woke up and looked at my phone......7.50 OH NO late already. We are suppose to meet at 8 a.m. Today we will be having Outward Bound activities. Seeing that time is running short, we have no choice but to share the toilet among the four of us. We brush our teeth and washed our face together. Haha what a scene, kangliang brush his teeth at the toilet bowl hope he don't drop in. After washing up, we quickly got dressed up and rushed towards our destination.
To my amazed, there were still a lot of people not there yet. At first i thought that my group will be last one to arrive there. But the china students arrived very early i felt bad that they have to wait for us for so long. Then Np students from another course also came to join us for the OBS. When almost everyone came the instructor there started out by playing some games with us. Looks like my luck is not good when playing this kind of game because i lost both of it one with jia hui and another one with kangliang. The punishment for losing is to sing a song and doing half squat. The song that me and jai hui sang was twinkle twinkle little lol joke right haha. After the game we were divided into 4 groups and started our activities. The first thing we have to do is do think of a name for our group and design a flag for our team. Then we have to think of a cheer for our team. After brain storming, many ideas came up but we choose AFRO in the end because we all thought that it is very unique and it represents our group leader stefen. Jit siong drew a picture of stefen on the flag. It really looked like him then the students from other course drew the design of our team. It look like it is done by a professional. The cheer was design by a girl from mde. The cheers goes like this "one, cant hear you ah, two, shout louder ah, three, all together now, one two three four, AFRO AFRO AFRO, all the way we like our hair we love our hair we love our curly hair, our hair our hair our sweet sweet hair". Not bad right....!Then we have to present our cheer to the rest of the groups. All the groups did their cheers to their best and i enjoyed all of them.
After that we proceeded to our activities. The first one that we play was to make a tanker wheel using 32 pieces of newspaper. We have to think of a way to join all these newspaper together. Plus it must also fit all of us. We roll the newspaper into a string and use it to tie the newspaper together. By displaying good team work we finish our tanker wheel faster than the rest of the group. Then the competition started at first we are leading but our wheel start to fall apart. Despite our effort of trying to repair it we could not catch up to the first group. We came in the second, however, we are already very happy because we know that we have put in our best and have no regret.
At about 11 plus, we break to have our lunch. Me kangliang and diyana went to kfc for lunch. Slack there until it is time to go back. I was so tired that i fall asleep there. The first afternoon activity that we have is to hold the person when he fall off from a platform. The person's back is facing us and hands kept close to his or her body. In order to ensure our safety, the instructor tie our hands and legs so that we won't spread them and hit the others when we are falling. This activity requires a not of trust in your friends. You must believe that they will be able to catch you when u fall off. As some of my friends are even heavier than me we need a of people to support him. When it is my turn to fall, i was a bit scared at first but i trust my friends i just fall off. SUCCESS......The next activity, we need to climb up a series of stairs before we reach a bridge where need to jump across to another platform which is about 1.2inch length and then drop off from the platform. The feeling of dropping off the platform is so shiok, all the air rushing at your face. The last activity that we will be doing is rock climbing. As there are too many people queuing up for the rock climbing, i decided to skip it.
Today is definitely a day whereby people can train up their courage and trust in other people. I find today's activities very meaningful.
