food poisoning

haha okayy. i kena food poisoning on friday. the friday of the school holidays. due to red cross LTC camp. haha. miss tai sent us to the nearest clinic. so far the symptoms were diahorrea only. but as the day progressed, i was given a bed at campsite to rest. as the time passed, i grew to have a fever and becoming dehydrated. by the time my daddy came to fetch me around 4pm, i was weak like anything already. with fever and diahorrea and dehydration. i was hungry but i was already too sick to eat.

to me, i believe that the food poisoning was caused by eggs. some believed it was the mushrooms. to some it was the rice. to some it was the veggies. to the newspapers, it was nothing. they just mentioned that there was no meat involved. to others, it was canned food.

miss lim wrote a letter to my parents saying that the FOOD WAS CLEAN and the TEACHERS TESTED THE FOOD. it is so RUBBISH. if the food was clean, how could we even have gotten food poisoning?! and all 13 of us?! and teachers and instructors didn't taste test the food too. if they did, they would be poisoned too! to me, this is absolute rubbish. but this shows she cares. so yeah.

man. i slept on and on. surviving on the medicine that the chai chee clinic gave. that mediciine sucks. it didn't improve my condition. on sunday was like the worst day. i was dying every single moment of the day. the time passed so fast! but one good thing, everytime i slept, i didn't have nightmares. but in fact peaceful and nice dreams. haha.

on monday, went to family doctor. dr neo said that i was dehydrated and fever and diahorrea which is food posioning. then gave me medicine.

tuesday, sucha painful day.

on wednesday, went hospital. NUH. the doctor and the medicine worked. it rehydrated me too. the news also came to me that i didn't get into obs sabah. i was shocked! i was certain i would at least had a place in there. but in the end, i was too sick. only slept at like one plus.

on thurs, i was on the road to recovery. though i still had pains in the mornings and nights. still an awful day. but i made up my mind, if i had felt well enough, i would go to sch on friday, but..

on friday, the morning pains came again. freaking pain la. didn't go to sch. but in the afternoon, i was feeling better. then, my maid came to tell me that there was no more salt powder for hydration. i was like.. huh?! i need that to survive! anyway,

saturday came, no PAINS. i was delighted. so for dinner, i had fried rice, man. the pain came again. but it went away as quickly as it came. =) then there was cell bible study. haha. lots of wonderful. i could eat sushi!! not many little kids. whew.

sunday! went to church. no pain. no diahorrea. it stopped like on saturday. found out that i was in the dance. i'm a demon! hahas. so funny. tiring but fun.

anyway, my skin had begun peeling. looked like some kind of skin diesase. argh!! so ugly. it's like skin disease. all councillors got it! hahas. anyway, i'm dark! quite dark. haha.

haha. dreamt of my first friend at cambodia takeo. haha. matarchew. that little guy was my first friend. because i didn't know their language, when i asked for his name, his friends replied saying that his name was : for eating. it may nt seem funny to you. but it is to me. argh. all the memories!

COUNCILEXPEDITION2006

well. i'm back! well. this is the council's 2nd expedition. the 1st expedition, we kayaked for 28km? this year, it's 43km. 43km! it's almost the height os singapore!

day one
didn't go to church. gathered in school then proceeded to sembawang yatch club. over there, we prepared the kayaks, paddles, and lifejackets. so, my partner was brian chan. it was like almost nighttime when we finished everything. had dinner then a briefing by mr aw. then it was supper. delicious supper. a sugary doughnut and a packet of milo. then it was sleeping time. slept in a tent. 7 people in a 8 man tent. it consisted of me, julia tan, constance, yiling, fion hong, eunice and desiree. we actually had our own sleeping group from last year, new additions are fion and desiree. haha. slept at like 10.30am and we didn't sleep till like 11 cause some girls in other tents were like making so much noise. we slept and then woke up altogether at 1am. cause mr lim was talking too loudly. i then slept at like 2.30am and woke up at 3 plus. only had like 2 hours sleep.

day two
had breakfast and warm-ups at we set off. me n brian's kayak was number 14. cool number. anyway, was teaching him how to turn. i sat in front and he sat behind. i was appointed the position of 2nd i/c. joy sim was the overall i/c. being the 2nd i/c meant that my kayak had to be in front all the time. so, we kayaked for like 3 hours. during this time, fatigue was still not a problem. but the current and wind was irritating. kept on blowing us off course and we had to like turn back on course again and again. everybody was tired at the end of 3 hours, but we still have not reached our finish point. finish point was at pasir ris. everybody was too tired already. so the route became like this. sembawang yatch club-> pasir ris park -> changi point -> pasir ris park. at the pasir ris park we had our luch. and i was like giddyily tired. was falling asleep. but after lunch, got some energy back. the trip to changi point and back to pasir ris park was freakishly tired. i was overtaken by fatigue. i could even kayak with my eyes closed and sleeping. i don't know about brian. the stupid lifejacket was giving me back and neck problems. i was silently tearing around the kelong area near pasir ris park. i really needed a rest. i was wondering when would we be reaching. i really felt like giving up but that was a NO-NO for me. i could never give up. i would never give up.

finally, we reached the shore. we had a little debrief with miss ng. i was like falling asleep. totally bushed out. we then pitched our tents. student relations and discipline got to bathe first. me eunice and fion were at the toilets first. only two cubicles and there was such a long queue. so we three bathed together. (guys don't get horny kay) we bathed in our swimsuits on. then went out of the shower to the toilet bowl cubicle to change. the rest of the girls in the toilets were like gasping at us saying : man, you people are super fast! so, the rest also did the same thing. some even five girls in one cubicle. haha. but those girls who had the thing bathed alone.duh.

had dinner after the bath. then debrief again. almost dozed off again. i wonder how the rest could stay awake. oh yeah. i only had 2 hrs plus of sleep and the rest had like 6 hours. then it was supper. i totally couldn't wait to sleep. oh yeah. during rest time/ free time, me julien and jocelyn were just talking. we were talking about synapse. we agreed that acs barker prefects are just simply handsome. it was like jocelyn was crazy over ian, justin and joseph. julien was like crazy over nathaniel and adriel. as for me, haha, no one. :)

brushed my teeth washed my face and practically ran to my tent to sleep. slept at 9.30pm and woke up at 4.40am. i didn't want to be covered or based by the sleeping bags as i was like covered in fibreglass and fibreglass cuts. had my pillow with me.

day three
woke up at 4.40am. some girls even woke up late. the guys wer early AS USUAL. rushed to change, brush and wash. had breakfast. this day, my partner was yiting. my group, had practically so many weak-bodied people. especially girls. our group wasn't strong like group 1. so, i had to sacrifice brian chan for liang yiting. yiting wasn't bad. luckily, we had the current and wind on our side. set off at 8am reached there at 12. we did it in 4 hours! 1/2 hours earlier than yesterday!

during the journey, i saw two jellyfishes! i was like so excited! one was pretty small. but the other was freaking big! yiting rested a lot during this journey. haha. you can say she almost killed me. haha. then, lanz and jocelyn capsized. lanz was shaking too much in the kayak that they just toppled over. poor jocelyn. also, during the journey, we encountered a super large wave. it was glorious fun! our kayaks were like practically in the air! haha. the alleviate our spirits, we sang songs. we didn't care if it was out of tune but alvin hui is the greatest joker i've ever known. poor julia tan. she had to endure so much. haha.

when we reached sembawang, group 1 was already there and then helped us with the kayaks and the lifejackets and the paddles. haha. group2 was simply tired out. we had lunch then bathed. it was the best bath i had ever taken. washed the salt water out of my hair and had the best warm bath ever. i looked at myself and had the ugliest tan i had ever had in my life. the tan covers my face and no neck tan at all. my whole arms are tanned but it cuts off 10cm from the shoulder. as for my legs, the feet are a little tanned and my thighs are burnt especially my knees. the rest of my legs are tanned a little. had lunch after that.

when it was time to go back to school, i practially slept soundly while waiting for the bus to arrive. refreshed, i didn't sleep on the bus so i took pictures of everyone in bus2 sleeping. haha. :)

student relations had to wash three tents as our department was so big. so yeahh. after it, went home. sleep like a big the moment i reached home and only woke up till like it was 10pm. had dinner and watched tv till 12.30am then i slept again.

haha. i will never forget this year's council expedition 2006.

man. me jocelyn and julien are just simplay crazy about synapse and acs barker guys. then ryan mitchell and shaun are like okay with the plmgs girls but not shaun. haha. he's the crazy one.

event

national footdrill competition 06
well. we lost. 1st was raffles insitution. 2nd was cedar girls. 3rd was tanjong katong.
i didn't cry, i teared. well. honestly, i did put in all my effort. but i shall not start pointing fingers. we have our faults. mistakes were made. fumbles here and there.
anyway, after the competition, we went to esplanade. most of the squad members went. we spent LOTS of time there. but for me. i was thinking. thinking a lot. also, i was stoning. stoning alot. till i fell asleep. i fell asleep with my eyes open! now, if i can do that during lessons, that will be ABSOLUTELY great. well. we waited till the VIs arrived and we went for dinner. we da pao food from everywhere and had an ' illegal gathering ' under an escalator and had our debrief there. man. no matter where poh huat - sir goes, he looks pissed. he always carries his stern look everywhere he goes. i don't think i have ever seen him smile before.
man. i think i'm gonna die for that LTC camp. they say that yu ching sir would be 4 times worse than poh huat. die.
well. after dinner, some ppl left, and it was only left with me huiling, yuliang, joanne, yuming, hengguang, iryshad, eduardo, saleha, nurul atiqah, ginyong and of course not FORGETTING, my dearest f-partner fion. haha. hengguang really posted something nice on the fountain of wealth and i managed to film it down.
