i'm back from obs! haha.
coming back to mainland from obs brings about mixed feelings.
part of me wants to stay and go for more adventure.
part of me wants to go back home where things are cleaner and more convenient.
but i'm really glad for this camping experience.
i did things i really wanted, like going through a mangrove swamp, jungle trekking, sailing and swimming in the sea and all. i enjoyed myself and it was a great experience. i guess it's partly because i like being away from the concrete jungle of the city. i'm tired of the systematic way of living and this camp provided me with an opportunity to have my freedom to do extraordinary things.
and a major part of the camp was about self-discovery and self-improvement in a way. Aichin is totally fantastic. She provided us with the necessary amount of guidance and help, as well as freedom to choose and to reflect. I admire her a lot for her courage to take a different step from the crowd and to become an OBS instructor. I admire her for her deep thinking and her wise guidance. She's kinda like a mentor, and a honourable person that I won't forget her anytime soon.
I learnt a lot of stuff there, and they are not only about physical activities. I guess all of us took home with us more of life's greatest lessons than ever before and I appreciate it a lot. So to all who are going in the coming week, I advice for courage and deep thinking to be part of ur packing list.
p.s.- put lotsa repellent and SPF 50 sunblock.
