today i had the most interesting day...you see, i travelled to a village and then overseas! :D
..alright so be it i went to changi village and then to pulau ubin. but still! we went overseas:D
and why did i go there? to check out the conditions for OBS!:D
okay maybe not so we went there for small group fellowship. but then i did get a glimpse of the OBS campsite. opinion? its inbetween sparkc and kem kaizen. slightly better than kem kaizen one of course. that place was gross but nice. haha.
and so what exactly do to fellowship? biking! and playing with stress balls. hahaha. esther and i were the only girls thanks to xue qi and deborah for abandoning us! 6guys and 2leaders. thats rather intimidating but since me having my nice nature did not sabo esther in the end. :) biking was erm okay. as guys don't know how to travel at a leisure pace they must cycle to fast!! pulau ubin had like lots of high slopes, and i nearly died while trying to cycle those kind of land. and then there were those really stony ground which got annoying after a while and when we reached like normal concrete ground esther said "wahh i love stable ground!" :) oh and then my face kinda ran smack into spider webs twice which was gross.. hence i decided to stay as much in the middle of the path haha.
we visited 2beaches altogether and the water was like much cleaner compared to the "singapore beach". and after visiting the 2nd one, i learned this : never ever take esther and guys to the beach. you'll start to see weird things. esther went round destroying beach animal homes (i will call SPCA!) & the boys were like weird! cos we found a dead catfish rolling along the water and they tried stoning the fish.. until dom hit it real hard and the intestines came out. kevin wanted a bio lesson on catfish hahahahaha. and then issac was like trying to open a coconut?! with sticks. haha. weird people.
at the third beach ironic things occured. normally it would be girls who wouldn't sit on the sand and guys would be okay with it. but then it ended up like 6 of them all standing up and us sitting down. so intimidating. haha.
after how long of exploring the island dom thought it was like time to go back and eat lunch! at 3? yup then we went to changi village hawker centre and ate. esther and i shared fried kway teow and then after eating, both of us stoned for like half an hour while the guys were talking? haha stoning is fun! :) half slept, half stoned, half listened to people's conversations on the bus. oh wait change the half to 1/3 haha. my maths something wrong.
oh well overall it was an eyeopener. not because of the forest.. i practically live in one haha, but the houses that the people live in.. really look like those malaysia countries and the there were those random stalls which realllllly looked like those in the tvb shows which was set in ancient times! haha and oh there was this big sign which was really funny.
"y u so like that?
buy a drink LAH!"
HAHA! okay i'm convinced that the people there are singaporeans. hahahaha.
and then one of the weirdest times while cycling at moderate speed:
esther: i saw a camelian! (pardon my spelling)
tiffany:alright i don't think i want to see one. so best thing is not to look around but concentrate on the path and then you won't freak out.
*turns in a corner!
tiffany: WAHHH! (sees a dog lying in the middle of the road)
haha. honestly there are cute and not cute dogs around the island leash free. guess dogs there live a better life? haha lipin will scream. oh yeah talking about lipin(k) i think when she goes for OBS, she'll be super seasick on the boat seeing how she got "bussick" on bus 66 cos it was noisy and bumpy. haha. gdluck to you next year! =)
:D
