the best camp ever!

back from sports camp! - SPORTS UNLIMITED 13

it's really the best camp, the most tiring, most physically exhausting, shiong-est camp i've ever attended ... ... ... but i had a lot of fun =)

we sleep for an average of 2 hours every night. not kidding! that makes less than 15 hours of sleep for 7 days! it's amazing how we survived =)

Activities are packed from morning to night... or rather to about 3 am ... everyday! Want to pee or poo also need to find time. And u can't really sleep in the day coz pple will sing some wake-up call song whenever u attempt to take a nap. haha learnt lots of games and cheers during the camp. but i still dunno how to play the "is this a snake" game and the "what's next" game... it sucks when everybody around u knows how and u just look puzzled and confused! lost my voice on like the 4th day. too much cheering and also that nutella probably had something to do with it.

on the 1st night while playing some games i already kena-ed a forfeit ... so embarrassing! and in camps, forfeits always involve doing stupid stuff as a couple. gee. activities ended at 2 plus... and that's the earliest of all in the 6 nights. water games are so damn fun. had a bit of diving in the pool, at first i tot i felt as if i had an asthma attack while using that thing to breathe. but it was a good experience. went to some beach for a day of water activities too. had a taste of windsurfing (difficult!), banana boating (this is blooddy good), jetskiing (shiok ah)... also canoed for about 3 hours plus, paddled to Ubin! drank coconut on the canoe. heehee

went to Old Changi Hospital one night... the first day of the 7th lunar month. haha guys and girls were all paired up and we basically walked together hand-in-hand the whole night. haha it would have been really scary if i was the type who believe in such stuff. haha we had to find the murderer of a mysterious murder case. quite fun... coz the pple who acted the various scenes were really good. very professional! got caught by surprise quite a couple of times heh

had a race in bukit timah hill, which involved hiking and cycling. also another tiring day. ran quite a bit. had to look for clues, played station games and solved puzzles along the way. we settled our lunch only at bout 3 plus when we finished the race. and played games and feasted on bread with nutella and peanut butter hahaha i kena-ed a forfeit which involved playing a digusting game ( "pak qiu zcheng") with a guy from my group. my GL recorded a video and he threatened to upload it on YouTube LOL

had night cycling that day after the bukit timah expedition. set off at 12 am plus! cycled from East Coast Park to NTU!!! no joke! reached NTU at bout 5 am plus... had to really struggle to keep those eyes open man. we even had a couple of traffic policemen to help direct traffic. cool... heehee that day we slept for about an hour and we started the day with fun-filled activities. amazing huh! how can one stay awake with this amount of sleep? we can... LOL

Played Amazing Race from Fri morning to Sat afternoon. travelled around Singapore.
my EZ link card no $ liao! lol. it was really fun, but we ran from station to station. poor guys, they ran with heavy backpacks containing our clothes and water bottles. we started off at NTU and ended at Pasir Ris on Day 1. Had to pitch 2 tents and then run to the finish point. hee. AR resumed the next morning and ended in NTU... We had KBox, bowling, Dragon boating along the way... ate some digusting dried small little frogs at one station. ate smelly beancurd in JooChiat...played a mini "shi zi lu kou" in the Bedok food centre. at the East Coast leg, i led the way for my team. heehee. we went to the SKI360 place and got to try knee-boarding. bloody fun! i want to go there again!!! had to stuff down loads of rice at one station. about 1/2 to 3/4 of a basin of white rice for 10 pple! bought some other dishes like curry chicken to eat with the rice lo. also tried longkang fishing in this place called "Qian Hu". very difficult leh! but anyway, my team came in 2nd out of 16 teams! =) *yay*

on the last night we had SP night. it was rather romantic lah. LOL as in, the place (went to aloha chalet) was nicely decorated with balloons and lights. we had to wear masks and look for your sp who is wearing the same mask. my nickname was Kelly Pan, n my SP was Hong JunYang. LOL

others had Tan Ah Teck and Dolly, Zhou Xing Xing and Wu Jun Ru... haha

my SP ah... lol, a bit toot-toot blur -blur one, but rather nice and gentlemanly lah. haha we had to do stupid things for the seniors which involved us doing igallop. quite gross, but at least it's not Uzap. haha he's probably quite strong too i guess, he had to lift me up and carry me to our table for dinner. 2 couples shared one table. that night was ok lah, just spoke a bit to my SP. forgot his name a couple of times. LOL there was also a deejay who played disco music in the later part of the night. i didn't dance with my SP though, went to look for my group instead. hahaa we danced in an open ground and there was also the smoke effect too, quite cool! and that night we spotted quite a bit of couples forming. heehee interesting.

ended sports camp with the finale race on sunday. the one activity which left us physically drained, mentally exhausted and left us crying after the race. before the race we had to create 2 sedans, each made up of 2 planks of wood with a chair tied in the centre. and we had to carry the sedan during the race...

the race started off with us swimming 1 lap in the pool... then rush off to wear our shirt and shoes and climb up a flight of stairs. the swim itself was already tiring...

and it was just the begining only. we ran a lot, some parts we had to carry the sedan...

other obstacles involve crossing the river with a rope, crawling in the mud, climbing lots of stairs (i hate it!!!)... ...

one of the most tiring thing for me was to drag guys sitting on tyres across a distance. 3 girls to a guy... had 5 girls for the bigger guys.. there were 14 girls and 16 guys.. so we had to drag bout 4 to 5 guys in total. GOSH. the girls also had to climb up this steep and slippery slope. the guys had to be our stepping stones and we had to climb and step on them till we reach the top. damn tiring.

at another station all 16 girls had to climb into the lorry and all 16 guys had to pull the lorry uphill ... it was.... OMG

anyway when we finally crossed the finish line, many broke into tears and gave each other hugs...tears of...relieve? joy? we started the race with 40 and ended with 40. nobody gave up... everybody perserved and gave each other encouragement. we had guys piggybacking girls who couldn't move... we had seniors shouting us along...

great race..

thanks to all who made this camp such a memorable one! lots of effort put in..

and i can't help but say that, there are so many GLS who are bloody good-looking and pretty, heehee. i have a personal fav man! Lol! he's so handsome, has a good body, superb motivator (everytime he gives those encouragement speeches, i feel like crying) and he's also very nice to everybody around him. he would be Mr Perfect who only he doesn't smoke. heeheehee.

can't wait for school to start!

busy but happy

hmmm.. think i had a busy week!

i went to this place in city link called New York New York for dinner with a couple of 04S24 peeps, quite a nice place! do check it out!

yesterday... oh i met anli and xiaowen at parkway for kbox. LOL. it was fun. stood on the seat and held ms chua's hand as we sang "xuan ze". wahahhaha. i can't look into her eyes. (too scary?) oh no bubbles, i'm joking! i think we are 3 mad women who sang rather 'off-keyish' and totally had no image. heehee. but all these make us laugh crazily, totally enjoyed that 3 short hours. oh and we gobbled down loads of nuts and tidbits man. gosh. and my throat condition was already bad to begin with... urgh.

anyway, i met up with the softballers later in the evening. wanted to check out Settlers Cafe in Clarke Quay but it was fully booked =( how disappointing! but in a way it was a blessing in disguise lah coz in the end we had a nice dinner somewhere in Chinatown... called something like Singapore Heritage Centre or something. heehee. Tasted uniquely good jackfruit rice, kailan in oyster sauce and shared a pot of lemongrass seafood porridge. and i also had a good bowl of mango dessert thingy in some dessert shop. yummy!!! =) good food makes me happy! ah. but gaining weight is another thing. =\

and then today! lol i went cycling with Mr Wee. LOL. but it wasn't weird ... heehee. that nice man treated me to a bottle of nice cold 100 plus coz the weather was so hot! but after a while the weather was fantastic- windy and cloudy, my favourite.

in the evening... i went to millenia walk for my sports camp meeting. wah seh, there are so many shuai ges and mei nus!!! nice people too. Yay! learnt a couple of cheers which are kinda ... lol... interesting. hope my voice stays. it's not in its optimal condition now...thanks to a small little (size of a fifty cent coin) yummy chocolate and the kbox session with my powerpuff ladies.

4 months!

It's the 19th! 4 months since I entered army. Fast!
Let me share with u a poem that I created while in one of those boring classes over there. It basically briefly sums up my army life. haha

Watching the clock tick,

Hearing the pens click,

Class is kinda boring,

I am really not joking.

Instructions are in Malay,

A language I hear all day.

I feel like a nun,

I want more fun.

I do mind the scorching sun,

But a chance to play is better than none.

Give me the rope,

That's what I hope.

It doesn't matter,

Even if i drop into the water.

With 6 meals a day, I might gasp and faint

Upon knowing how much weight I have gained.

We always have fish,

Our least favourite dish

We often peep into the kitchen,

Looking out for our beloved chicken.

They serve kopi and teh,

On a hot sunny day.

Long sleeves and long pants we wear,

The weather is already hard to bear.

Sweat flows like running tap...

Oh boy, I really need a cap.

I should stop complaining,

Just in case you are thinking that I'm not enjoying.

Some days aren't that bad.

We play, we laugh and go mad.

Queen says this poem is long,

So I shall stop because it's not meant to be a song.

I thank all for helping to break the language wall...

The only one from a foreign land,

Really appreciates your helping hand.

Terima Kasih! =)

Hee. How issit???

oh and I've uploaded some of my army pics.

The link is found below (under my uploaded pics ). Click on menu -> others -> army

computer idiot

Gee. I can be such a gundo sometimes. When something is wrong with the computer, no matter what I do the problem will still be there. But when my brothers just give it a little touch... ~tada! Damn embarrassing. Hmph.

I have always been reliant on my elder bro regarding IT stuff. He's in Aussie already ... (taking computer science btw) and I'm praying that the computer will be good and not breakdown like it used too.

Anyway... watch this stupid lame movie (Waiting) with Ber yesterday. It was ... um. ok horribly vulgar and urgh, gross. I'm glad we didn't have to pay for that show. But it was a waste of my free movie voucher.

HahA. and oh let me tell u something rather amusing. (Ber has to agree).
I met Ber in SMU to accompany her for some LIBRARY orientation. And guess what, turquoise is a rather unique colour right, yet both of us wore that same colour, and both of us wore blue jeans, so imagine how we looked like when we walked down the streets together. I'm glad I didn't bring the white bag which looked almost like Ber's. Met Dawn somewhere and she asked "Did u guys come from work together? Why are you wearing the same colour?" =\

Went for movie again today, with Eddie and Charlene. Caught Just my Luck. It's a rather simple and sweet show. But also very predictable lah. hehe

satay night

Went over to Donna's house for a mini class gathering. Dad satay and mee siam for dinner, which was good =) A 'satay man' was hired to do all the cooking, so all we had to do was eat.

...

Played silly games throughout the night. Indian poker was fun. The forfeit was digusting though. Had to drink some horrible concoction of beer, osyter sauce, ketchup, banana, ONIONS, chin chow (which we tot it was century egg all the while), beer and mashmellow. It tasted really bad. And i drank the most. Gee. Also played Bluff, Heartattack, Poker, some Big Fish/Small Fish game, and also an interesting "I have never ..." game.

Example, someone will make a true statement of himself ... "I have never kissed someone on the lips before." So those who have will have to drink a sip of beer. Good way to dig out secrets, provided they are telling the truth. .

...

Hope i don't get a stomachache tonight.

farewell...

aw man. today was the last day of school for xiao wen and anli. aka blossom and bubbles. although i left sch like months ago, i feel like this is also a farewell for me! haha i have been dropping by NAPS every now and then to visit the ladies, the boys and the teachers ever since i left. so after today, i probably won't have a reason to go back so often ... and hence i can't help feeling a little sad! it's always nice when i go back and the eager students will start to surround u and then fire numerous questions like, "when are you coming back?", "will u be teaching us again?" ... ...

-

anyway today was a pretty nice day. cycled to NAPs and secretly sneaked into the conference room. wanted to give Mrs Wong and Jan a mini bday celebration. Mrs Wong is just so cute and nice man! after that i spent the whole afternoon helping the ladies to do the photo album for Lala and Mumu. ~hai. the 2 boys who we adore! Lol. i hope they grow up to be fine young men. but .... ... oh wells.

-

anyway when it was about 4.30pm, the teachers started to hurry us to leave. but oh no, we still had many things to do (the 2 ladies had to clear the cubicle and finish up whatever undone work there was. i was still busy with the photo album). almost went crazy. hehe. ahhh at last when we were done, Jan drove the 3 of us to Parkway, and we met Mrs Wong, Veron and another XiaoWen for dinner at Swensens. if any students saw us i bet they will run away, coz there were 4 HODS and 3 relief teachers. hehehe dinner conversation was rather grown-up lol. things like babies and fertility stuff... career/ uni stuff... and even about ah beng and ah lians...

-

~hai. i miss NAPS already. =\ Mrs Wong, Bubbles and Blossom. Lala, Mumu, La-ma. the "La-family" is so sweet lah!!! i think after school Lama and Mumu went to buy little farewell gifts for us, and then Mumu came knocking on the HOD room door and asked the 3 of us to come out. heehee. ~hai. hopefully 3 months later they will still remember us. u know kids, how they can just forget pple. haha

just thinking...

went to suntec's muthu's curry for dinner with my vj classmates yesterday. i think the food wasn't that bad.. but we took some time ordering the food coz we didn't know the indian food terms... anyway, i saw my very old childhood malay fren on the way back home yesterday. we spoke for a while.. and i realised that we haven't seen each other in years. her sis is married and even have a 9-day old baby.she was one of my closest frens back in the ... 90s. haha ok she lives in the next block, and we were kindergarten frens. we would meet up everyday after school to play ... she was the one who taught me how to blade... i would go to her house to play ALLADIN in her computer... those were good times...

~hai~ it's sad that u can be best frens now, and few years down the road your best fren becomes almost like a stranger. BOO.
10 years ago, my neighbours and I were so close. we play almost every afternoon, and we had so much fun =) we would hold little gatherings in the common area and just hang out till our parents call us home... Now... we have all grown up... we don't see each other everyday. and even if we do, we speak only a few sentences at most. ah. SO SAD! i hate this.

and as i was packing my old old photos, i realised that there are so many 'good frens' of the past that i hardly contact now. =( i had wonderful primary school days... very fun secondary school experience which i'm very thankful for having the opportunity to join the softball team... JC was tough, but also fun in a way...
will be stepping into Uni soon, and will be meeting different pple. i do hope that this time my present good frens will still remain as good frens after a few years down the road... but it's not going to be easy. don't u find yourself in a situation where sometimes the conversation just doesn't flow as smoothly?

i've been in the same sch as Ber, Bong and Can for six years, and we see each other almost everyday in school. even when there wasn't school there were still trainings...ahhhhhhhhhhh... it will be weird now that both Ber and Bong are in SMU. oh wells, at least i still have piggy, who will be more roommy! =) i'm actually rather excited for uni..signed up for the sports orientation. i'm considering the hall one still coz it's immediately after my 7 days 6 nights sports orientation... but i'll probably go lah. i should right?

^_^

met up with a couple of primary sch classmates earlier... caught Superman. some said it was boring.. but to me it wasn't tat bad! hee maybe because i kept telling Vanessa how cute Brandon Routh was in the show... he could be quite good-looking. hehehe

anyway something stupid and terrible happened before the show. was talking to a fren and was rubbing my left eye at the same time. and the next moment i realised that my left vision was blurry. argh. darn sickening irritating. no prize for guessing what happened... ...
anyway... so i watched Superman with an impaired vision. i still can't believe how stupid i was. i tot such things only happens on tv. JO AH!!!

but there were happy moments too.
1) i received an sms from a malay army fren. yay! one of my fav female frens coz she's so sweet and pretty. hahahaha man, i sound cheeko.
2) i saw my chinese army fren in cine. =) but darn, if only i stopped a little longer to talk more...
3) i had fun hanging out and laughing at stupid things with my pri sch frens. heh. and i miss the good old days.
______________________________________________________________
anyway swimming with Ber the other day was great. but we were damn unfit lah. hohoho
she drove me around, which was pretty fun. HAHA, yea Ber? we had Fish n Co for dinner which was yummmy good. hee. good day good day =) we should do that more often....

2 days later, i went over to Shareena's house and watched the France VS Portugal match at some food centre in Bedok. hehe i didn't expect myself to be up at 3 am to watch soccer. oh wells. but it wasn't that bad. maybe becoz i had prata for company hehehe. stayed over at Shareena's place that night (morning?). i have always loved her house. HEE. we woke up at 12 plus that day and had nice french toast for breakfast. we lazed around until 3 plus and then we finally decided to move our butts and go down for a swim. another good day!

swimming is good.

blink blink

ahhhhhh horrible weather. it's freaking hot. = i hate the sun. arghhh. but i think i'm going to join an outdoor activity in uni. heh. oh wells.

going for a swim with ber later. she's picking me up in her dad's car! haha we started learning almost at the same time btw, but i'm still stuck at like 7 lessons... coz of army...
ah nvm. i'm not in a hurry to drive anyway. being driven around is better! haha went for my 2nd lesson after i came back from msia. it's good, except i forgot my driving booklet and so i could drive only in the circuit...
one of my better and funner lessons so far. did the slope, directional change and some reation thingy. i'm so glad my control of the steering wheel is better. LOl. and i did the S course twice without striking the kerb! yay. i wonder is it just luck or what... coz i sort of ... "anyhow-ly" steered the wheel... GEE

played for SIA on Sunday against BlueJays. we won! our pitcher Norleen was great manz.. stike out so many, hence i didn't really fielded any ball. (i was playing 2nd base *Gulpz*). didn't really bat any nice decent balls. oh wells. but i got on base anyway. came home with a ugly bruise-cum-abrasion on my butt =( but i 'm glad i could still remember how to slide lah.
stayed back with Clara to help 'coach' Sonix. oh my. wanted to tell the runner on base what to do but i don't know their names! so i had to wave and try to get her attention while standing in the coach box. gee.

oh and i finally got contacts! i was brought to this room to learn how to put on.. the person who taught me how to use them was really nice. i received a call from Ber then and i said i would call her back in 5 mins, and that man said "wahh.... so confident u need only 5 mins eh!" haha errr...Oops! but anyway i think i was a fast learner. heh
hmmmm after wearing spects for about 9 years, i'm not used to see myself without one. haha and i realise i had a habit after i kept attempting to push my imaginary spects up my nose.

lalala. clouds. more clouds. gtg. time to get wet! =)

Food FesT!

AH!!! durian puffs. I love them!!! yummy yummy yummy.
Went to the gym with Pig today. After that we walked along Orchard Rd. Having some food fest now. The food was alright. But the puffs were great. It would have been better if they were cheaper. haha I always spend quite a bit on food compared to other stuff when I'm out.

Anyway... I haven't been doing much lately. But I dug out really really old photos. Wanan give them a new home. Anybody here knows where to get not-so-expensive photo albumes??? I need quite a bit. Did u all know I had permed hair when I was little? Kinda gross. And gee, I wore dresses and had those really "hiao" poses. My brothers were really cute though.

Went for my first official training in XXX months... it wasn't that bad. Just that I have become more scared of balls. Had this uneasy feeling ... afraid of getting hit by balls, especially in the face or sth. HAHA Thankfully I ended training with no bruise or fractures. Oh man, this is bad. =

My army fren came to Singapore Monday! Met her in Bugis together with Ber and Bong. hehe. Went to Bugis again on Thurs, with Ber. After her haircut. hee. Different! =) But still long. We didn't do much. Just lunch, and bought cute... erm.. clothes. haha
