Hey guys!! Bak from OBSabah.. Had a lot of fun there.. Definitely the best camp i ever had. 12 days course, 4 groups, 12 ppl each, 48 different personality, 3 expetitions. First day: Reached OBSabah base at abt 10. Then slipt into 4 grps. I'm in Group 2, Rafflesia. Then sleep.. Zzz... Second day: Team building games. First game is the whole grp stand on a plank n move within the plank to arrange ourselves from tallest to shortest n then from the oldest to the youngest. We failed in the first 1 but we managed to complete the second 1. Then the second game is skin the snake. We managed to complete it too after a lot of trials. We played a lot of team building games, but i'm not going to tok abt all of them. Then afternoon, we haf a mini expetition. We went for a mini jungle trekking. During the trek, someone accidentally stepped on a bee hive n my grp were attacked by bees. At first, I was lyk confused coz i dunno wad happened, then i heard someone shouted, " Bees! Bees!". I juz stood there n the bees didn't stung me, but i saw the bees attacking the girls in my group who were in front. Then an instructor shouted at them, telling them to run, but the girls juz squated there, maybe becoz they couldn't hear him. Then I juz ran to the girls n got them to run for safety. In the end got stung 3 times. 1 on my left ear, 1 on my right eye brow n 1 on my neck. Weirdly, i wasn't afraid when i got stung, in fact i was kinda excited. Lol. N i learned 1 thing. Bee hive doesn't necessary be on tree tops, they can be on the ground too.Third day: The first day of the real jungle trekking. At first, it was pretty easy. Then it started to rain n the trail became muddy n slippery. The trail became so difficult to climb that i nid to use my hands to climb. There's 1 part of the trail where it was so slippery that sodi slipped n nearly fell down, lucky i got hold of his hand n managed to pull him up to safety. Then finally reached the campsite n set up tent n cooked n slept...Fourth day: Woke up n trekked to the second campsite. The trail was still muddy n slippery, so the trekking wasn't easy. We were behind time, so we had to go to another campsite which was nearer. We had to camp beside a graveyard. That night was long n the ground was very muddy, so didn't had a gd sleep that night.Fifth day: Woke up feeling very tired n walked to the third campsite, which was someone's house. Reached there at abt 11 n cooked lunch. Had lunch n discussed abt the performance we gonna put up at night. The night came n the owner performed first. They performed using gongs n the 'musical' was nice. Then the instructors danced n we joined in too. Lol. After the whole thing, we watched tv. XD There's tv in kampong area. Haha.. Watched a movie be4 going to sleep.Sixth day: We woke up early to make breakfast n we left the campsite at 6am. We walked from the campsite to OBSabah base. The journey took abt a few hours. When we reached the base, we went to bath n did rope course. The first rope course was the giant ladder. I was afraid of it, coz i was afraid of heights. Then we had to do it in groups of threes. I had to do the giant ladder wif 2 girls from my group. First time working wif girls to do this type of things, so i was lyk afraid. But... though my team consist of me, lee jing n louisa, we completed the giant ladder the fastest. The second activity was the rock wall. I loved the rock wall coz it was a natural rock wall, which means it will be harder to climb. I climbed the rock wall twice n i was feeling happy abt it. Ok.. Here's the first six days of the OBSabah course. I will continue tml. Hehe. Rafflesia: We have won the war!
