OBML KAYAKNESSSS

DAY-2
ugh.. started da day at 6.30 am with exercise weyh..
but fun jgak la..
then had our bfast.. we had mee goreng if x mistaken..
then we went up to our dorm to get ready for our first sea activity..
KAYAK!!!!
yea in the morning we learned how to kayak (the real way)..
and what to do when someone is capsized..
i partner up with din for the kayak..
then we went up for our lunch ann later was briefed on our kayak expedition..
we basically had to go round the pangkor island..
when i went to pangkor with kim n wani we took bout 2 hours to tour the island on a speed boat..
now were kayaking..
adoi.. anyway we made our preparation, did stretch up and final check up..
then off we go!!
our first journey was to teluk sekadin, situated south of pangkor island..
the weather is kinda good, not to hot and all..
thank god the current also was x dat strong..
we departed around 230 kot..
cant remember as i was wth no watch (very sux weyh)..
and we reach there at 5 kot..
then we had to set up camp, fire to cook and gather wood for fire..
we had chic curry, scramble egg, some veggie and rice..
we had the night off later..
we actually had to do sentry so me safiq n salam bunk in early..
but sadly no one woke us up for sentry.. sigh

DAY-3
we had to get ready by 7 to depart so dat we dont have to kayak againts the current..
so we had bfast (a piece of bread) pack our things and load em in the mother boat..
and got our kayak into the water and head for the open sea..
this journey was the tough one..
we practically had to go 9 times the journey yesterday.. ugh
me n din at first said we should take our time..
so i decided to go through the waves just for more thrill..
but that made us more tired so we had to stop more which made us ended up amongst the last to arrive at our lunch break..
when ur at the back of the group, its easy for u to be demotivated as u can see other participants infront of u getting further away..
anyway we had our lunch at a place i cant remember the name..
we only had like bread, crackers and hot dogs..
btw the greatest food we had at obml was the crackers n bread..
haha..
we had like an hour break..
so after eating we took a lil nap..
later we resume our dreadful journey..
now we decided to step up our pace and stay ahead of the others..
the currents are getting strong now and so the waves are bigger..
me n din had a very hard time paddling our kayak due to the waves..
the hardest part was when we wanted to cross the channel..
it look so near but i was like "shit.. why arent we there yet"..
another friend of mine said "why are the building across the channel getting smaller? were heading for it, it should appear bigger"..
we manage to overcome the tides and all..
we were very thrilled when we saw the obml camp..
we rushed for it.
but about 100 metres from the beach a friend capsized..
we rushed to their rescue.. but as soon as we got there, they were already on the verge of getting back on their kayak..
so we just headed for the beach..
we were amongst the first 10 2 arrive there at around 4pm if x mistaken..
we clean our kayak and paddles..
then i help out the curtin girls to carry their kayak..
we head back to our room..
i rushed to the bathroom to bathe as i cant stand my hair..
we prayed and jump onto our beds..
we doze of easily..
we woke up at 6.20pm and got ready for dinner..
after dinner we had to gather at the hall to learn a few songs..
the scholl song, the ob spirit song, bertemu n berpisah the english n malay version..
then we went to bed..
