One can say that I had experienced one of the best eight days in my life, having both LLTC and OBS back to back. Although I can only say that LLTC was quite enriching for me, I learnt alot from it than I initially thought, one of the best was the Journey with the Dream, it was one of the best experiences I ever received realising how fortunate and blessed we are compared to the people at the home.
All right that's all I have to say about LLTC and now for OBS, I must start by saying it was completly inspirational, enriching, fun, perfect etc. I should not have thought it was crap, after going through it I feel that the memories that it had given me can me compared to Mediacorp December Dazzle, Bizworld, Service Learning and all my overseas trip all who which brought me wonderful memories.
Let me start on my joureney through OBS, I just have to say one thing first, this watch that I had been in can be listed one of the best groups I ever been in, yep, all the qualities of a good team can be definitely found within, along with our instructor Shu Yun, who guided us through getting to know each other, the activities we had and solving conflicts, I hope although the course is over the Raleigh spirit is still alive, remember all the commitment and promises we made and you would find this experience useful to your life.
There were many firsts that I had done during this course, but I feel the most memorable one was the quarry, during the land expedition I think we were the only group to climb to the top of the quarry, the highest point on Pulau Ubin of about 65m, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking, could almost see the whole island of Pulau Ubin and the occassional sight of helicopters flying past. However the real fun came the next day, we were down in the freshwater of the quarry down below to do rafting, this time I could really feel the fun in rafting compared to ACE camp which was like crap, the water was also quite shiok, never swim in freshwater before considering not bathing like for the past 24-28 hours, I can feel the freshness of the water, this can definitely not be done if we went to Pulau Ubin alone.
Another thing was the night activity on the last night, walking through the forest at night and crawling through the pipe which was totally dark and cannot see anything one, at first I was quite scared lah, but after crawling for a while the scariness just went away and all the time I took the chance to think and reflect eventually coming out with my commitment of facing what lies ahead with confidence, courage and determination, never togive up easily.
Of course, there were other thing I remember, the jetty jump which was absolutely cool, learning how to belay and also climbing the tripod, not forgetting kayaking. These have provided me enough memories to last a lifetime adding on to the friendship forged during the course, it is definitely ireplacable.
Finally, I would also like to take the chance to say that these would not be possible if not for our instructor Shu Yun, she provided us with one unique experience after another and was also very understanding to us, so thank you, gonna miss u, wo men you yuan zai jian mian ba.
