All Good Things Must Come To An End...

"When looking back, usually I'm more sorry for the things Ididn't do than for the things I shouldn't have done."--Malcolm Forbes

A sharp tongue and a dull mind are usually found in the same head.~Unknown~

Think this is going to be a pretty long entry. Have so much to say about OBS.

Sigh... Came back today from OBS yesterday. Feeling melancholic and blue. Can't believe 5 days passed so quickly. Wish I was back there. It was so fun. I WANT TO GO BACK TO OBS! Hope can join the overseas one.

Things were slightly different from the other OBS course. We were in residential this time. So, no pitching of tents and no cooking. Some time was put into teaching us about 'readership.' (leadership)

Learnt so much more about everybody.

Oh yeah! Managed to do jetty jump this time.


The instructors were so funny. They cracked all sorts of jokes. Everyone keeps saying that one of the instructors, PK looks like Ms Yong. To be honest, I didn't know who Ms Yong was until I saw her on the last day. And, yeah, I think she does look like Ms Yong. OH! Guess what, PK's surname is also Yong. Nobody believed her until she showed her file. Haha...

Oh. My watch this time is Holt. (When talking to Kim on the last day, she pointed out that we've been pronouncing it as "halt" which is wrong, it should be "HOlt" Your mouth must make an 'O' shape.)

On the last day, I left the beautiful island with devastation pulling me into the depths of depression. Sigh... Oh, why must all good things come to an end. (it's a bit overly-dramatic but...)Anyway, one of the intructors, Gene made a powerpoint presentation of the pictures he took over the 5 days. It was so nice. Teared a little.

When we reached back in mainland Singapore had to wait a while for the bus and teachers to arrive. Everyone had in mind almost the same idea as to why the teachers were late. However, later, only Mdm Lee turned up.

We decided to "steal" Gene's bag. Oh, he's a St. Pats boy. Anyway, think everyone wanted him to come back to the school with us, sadly, he did not. Anyway, when Mdm Lee arrived, she said she wanted our profiles which was in our files, and so we had to hand inour files. That resulted in a huge commotion. I mean, that file was with us for the 5 days, practically a part of us, a piece of OBS to bring back, a part of all that fun times, of the lessons. It's almost our life. (I think I'm exaggerating a little but anyway...)


Anyway, after reaching back in school, we handed in the files and were dismissed. Stayed back for a while longer. Talked to Kim for a while. She was her usual "realistic" (quoted from her) self. Later, Stephanie Tan came along and we all talked for a while.

Oh. Hurrah. Bought the "Warrior of Light" today. Would not have been made possible without the help of Desmond and Linda and the cashier at the Kinokuniya.

Shall stop now.
