Back after not blogging for more than 12 days.... It was a wonderful experience at Outward Bound Sabah. Although the days over there were very tough and there were many challenges that i had faced there... but i am confident to say that i did not regret going to this Outward Bound Oversea Youth Programme. Day 1
All of us went to Outward Bound East Coast Campus to assemble and took a bus over to Senai Airport and took a Budget Airline to Kota Kinabalu Airport. After that we took a bus into Outward Bound Sabah campus and being split up into our respective groups. Altogether there are 4 groups. I am in group 2 which is also named as Mulu. After dinner and briefing, we went to take our bed linent and being split up to our bunks and have a early night.

It was quite a slack day as we do lots of ice breaking game to bond our group together. Also at the same time we took group photos and photos of all the participants of this OYP. In the night it was the briefing for our sea expedition which is 2D1N which will take place the next day. After that we went to pack the equipment that we need for the sea expedition and went to bed.

Our Group PhotoDay 3
It was quite a hactic day as it was the start of our first expedition which is the sailing expedition. We woke up as early as 6am to have our morning PT before going to prepare our sail boat to be sailed out to sea. It was really a hard time sailing as the currents going against us was very strong. But in the end we still managed to reach the island at 4pm. Once we reached the island we started cooking our dinner as it will be hard for us to cook when night falls as there are no lights in the night.

Day 5 & 6
This was the 2 days where we are having our jungle expedition. The environment in the jungle was really very harsh and on our first day of our jungle expedition, it rained heavily and the first night was really very cold. On day 6, during our trekking process lucky it was not raining. But during lunch, we saw lots of leeches in the stream. After lots of trekking we finally reached the campsite.... lucky my group's campsite do not have lots of leech.
