OBS, OutwardBound Lumut

This post is about one of the most crazy training I went.
Outward Bound Spirit

Firstly, this training is sponsored by the boss P.
Due to my my CGPA not passed, but I filled in the spreadsheet like a dumb...
I was worry at first that I might not be allowed to go, but by some mis-com, I ended up there.

On the day of going, packing this and that while a senior (someone) telling me how hard is the training and some incredible experiences besides some reminds on packing list.
I was so excited when I get to go.
(Some people might not like this training, but I enjoyed it.)
So you may consider I sent myself to hell.

First training started with Kayak!
We had to Kayak across the sea to PANGKOR island. (Kayak in the rain.)
That was our first expedition with self-build tent, foods and the 'toilet'.
Due to heavy rain, we couldn't make our own fire, but with the help of instructor, we finally manage to have the small fire.
That night was damn cold over there, with the legs soak in wet rubber shoes, etc.
The next morning, we have to Kayak around the Pangkor back to our base centre.
And we were told that the journey is 2 times of yesterday half-dead journey.
WHAT?!
 He is my Kayak partner. Kheng Seng.
With him, we managed to finish the total of 21km madness Kayak.
*Don't judge him by his thin appearance oh, he is quite good in corporate during Kayak.*

The second training is about Whaling.
Whaling is much easier compared to Kayak, because this is teamwork.
So, we whaled to a place/beach that have no toilet at all.
This was the 2nd expedition, again we slept in self-build camp and foods.
Not forget to mention, there's a monkey stole our cream crackers.
And I scolded it in English. LOLxD
Since there was no toilet, how we actually 'release'...
>>>TOILET 360 degree<<<
Definition: You release anywhere you feel safe and no one peeking.
So, the next morning, I had a realxation on the beach openly at 6am+.

After packing, we headed back to OBS centre.
The last day was about some classes and BBQ + performance night.

Here is the photo with my lovely groupmates and instructor.
The whole training is madness.
But we start from zero, trusted our new friends and learned to survive and work together.
In the end, we still prefer each other and we believe there is something different in us that make us need each and everyone so that we are perfect.
Never give up, push yourself to limit and you will surprise that you are not ordinary at all.
