5-Days OBS journey
7/3 -- 11/3

To sum it up, it was extremely challenging and tiring, but very fun. I must be insane to say this, but I miss OBS.

Trekking for 6 hours with a 10kg + heavy bagpack, Kayaking for 5 hours (we were considered VERY fast because other groups kayaked for 11 hours due to the tides and bad weather), Camping in a place with no electricity and toilets (meaning doing your business in the bushes HAHAHA <-- that was the best part), surviving on biscuits and bread for almost every meal, quarry dip (which turned out very fun and refreshing), swallowing tonnes of seawater, capsizing in the middle of the sea, thousands of insect bites, and terrible sun burnt.

It sounds terrible, but at the end of the day, the sense of accomplishment is there. I'm sure almost everyone who went for OBS find it very fun (after being cut off from the outside world for 5 days, my vocab became like that, i'm using the same words again and again)
And, BIG THANK YOU TO MY WATCHMATES - ARMSTRONG! We've been so united for the past 5 days. So much fun and laughter and sarcasm.

P.S. Today I woke up and i lost my voice. Now I can only squeak.

"There's something about OBS that stays with you for life."
