So I'm back from OBS, and yes, I survived.

I remember during some parts of it I was desperately longing for home. Like I had different schemes to get me home, for example get out of the tent where we pitched, swim across the sea and hitchhike my way home. On the hike, jump in the lake/river/reservoir/whatever-damn-water-body-it-is and then let my 15 kg backpack drown me. On the hike up a bloody steep hill, let my backpack drag me backwards and then roll all the way down. Get a concussion and go to hospital. Oh, we forget that night when we finished kayaking, and pitched tents in fading light, then we cooked dinner in moonlight. Singapore was just across, the sea was the only barrier. We could see highways and we thought we saw a lone taxi trundling along. There were streetlamps. OMFG, I wanted to steal a kayak and paddle across.

Then there were the glorious parts, where we all collapsed in unison at the various 'monsters' that we had to defeat at different parts of the hike, where I made it all the way up the rock wall due to all my group mates shouting "THIS LEG ON THAT ROCK AND YOUR THIS HAND TO THAT, NO THIS THAT THIS ROCK CAN'T YOU SEE IT OH YOU CAN'T REACH STRAIGHTEN YOUR LEGSSSS!!". There were good times where we were screaming "THE RICE IS BURNTTT, SOMEONE RESCUE ITTTTTT!!!" And then I and Deepika ended up trying to scrape the burnt rice from the bottom with Swiss Army Knives. T_T I think our cooking skills don't really stretch very far.

And then there were pretty bad times, like when we all kena bitten like shit. Charishma thought she was pretty bad because she had 15 bites on one arm, then she looked at my legs and went like this: O_O . Theo's Mopiko saved me too. And I got rashes. It's nearly all over, it spread more after I got back to Singapore. I wear long sleeves and trackpants at home now trying to scratch. It's on my neck too. I got my period when we were almost done with the hike and were collapsing all over on the Black Monster. It was kinda disgusting because there wasn't a toilet in the reservoir so I had to go and put in a pad at some shed. It was fine then because my underwear was blood soaked the pad didn't adhere properly so I got an abrasion on my inner left thigh and I couldn't really walk properly. But it got better so I was fine the next day, surprisingly.

And then everyone was like "GOODBYE OBS! GOOD BYE CHLOE!!" as we got into the ferry going off from Pulau Ubin. And then we got back to Singapore and boarded the bus, and went out into Punggol. "I SEE BUSES! I SEE CARS! I SEE PEOPLE! I SEE HDB FLATS! I SEE THIS AND THAT AND THIS AND THAT OHMIGAWD IT'S CIVILIZAATIONNNZ PEEPZ!" Everyone was just screaming but at the same time I thought I really missed OBS. Like, I just got off the island twenty minutes ago but I already miss OBS and Chloe and when everyone quietened down, I said "I just want to see Chloe and Eng Soon and nothing else, I just miss OBS. I wanna go back." And then the others were going "You SIAO ah, OBS go one time enough liao." Well I don't care, I miss it.
