Outward Bound Singapore. 21st to 25th Feb 05.

My initial impression of OBS was more of a military style camp. Until i set foot on Pulau Ubin. All in all, there were roughly Three Hundred participants that had to be transported by taxi boats from mainland to Ubin. Upon reaching OBS camp II, everyone was separated into their "watches" (nautical terms for groups). Amazingly, it was not too much for the instructors to handle. There were twenty odd of them and through estimated division, it was fifteen to a group facilitated by one instructor. My particular watch was named Marco Polo who discovered the Silk road, but that was history the last time i checked=). To be honest. I'm very certain that until today, i haven't mastered every of my watch member's name... *smacks my head*... I guess it's so much simpler addressing the whole wide world with "OI", not to mention it's widely used. I'm certain it carries with it benefits like:
1) Energy saving
2) Oxygen sparing and
3) Reduces noise pollution
heh... nevermind there. OBS was great nevertheless but i shall refrain from going into details. bah.
