16

so as you might have realised, i got off the evil land of ubin on thursday. no, i didn't die there. obs was alright i suppose, very boring and tedious, and the activities didn't stretch me at all.

i'm complaining that obs was too easy and boring. if it were tough, i'd probably be complaining about that too. but at least it wouldn't have been so boring.

being in ubin for 16 days have taught me to hate the sea. every morning we'll have exercises followed by a 2.4km run, after which we'll do the fucking jetty jump and take a little swim in the sea before showering and breakfast.

sounds fine, you think. yes it'll be fine if the water there wasn't so shit-filled and oily and smelly. not to mention the jellyfish, but i wasn't very bothered by them. instead found some joy watching them bobble about, though many others weren't as fortunate and were stinged.

anyway i figured that the water there was so disgusting because it has nowhere to flow off to, being blocked by the causeway. so it kinda just stagnates and the shit can't be cleared. OH AND THE DAMN SHIPS DUMP THEIR SHIT AND TRASH INTO THE SEA.

so yea i hate the sea.

i brought very little clothes there because i'm so damn lazy, so i always ended up a bit underdressed (and because i'm a GANGSTER).

1. when we went for forest navigation, everyone wore long pants and i was the only brave soul in shorts.
2. during the jetty jumps, most wore long pants and long sleeves for fear of jellyfish. i wore swimming trunks and t-shirts.
3. for our land expedition, most were in long pants again, for what reason i don't know. maybe the mozzies. me in shorts.
4. during sailing, most wore long pants and long sleeves for fear of the sun. i was in shorts and long sleeves on the first day, after which i decided was too much and wore trunks for the remaining 2.
5. after the first few days i stopped wearing underwear because it was too troublesome to wash them all the time. my balls were very happy at ubin, finally getting to see the scenery and everything.

everyone was in awe of my bravery and wished they could be more like me. i don't know if i was brave or lazy. or just plain bored.
