Hanson - Lost Without Each Other
I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well, I can tell you there's no room to play this game
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening
Don't go, don't go telling me you're alright
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're OK
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're OK when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes, yesterday
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening
Don't go, don't go telling me you're alright
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're OK
When you're lonely
Baby don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're OK when we're
Lost without
I can tell you one thing
We're not better on our own
I'm tired of running from my feelings
Are you listening
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listenin
Don't go, don't go telling me you're alright
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're OK
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're OK when we're
Lost without each other
Lost without each other

a song
downhere - the more
I met You like a little child
Wide-eyed and mystified
That You could love even me
So I'm here to testify
That it's been an amazing ride with You
And I have never walked alone
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
It's takes a lifetime to know You, to know You
And the more You show me, the more You grow me
The more Your glory becomes all there is
And the more I know You, the more I need You
The more I love You, the more You become to me
Fast-forward to the golden years
A smaller pride and a bigger fear
But still, no way are we done yet
I pray that You would keep me mystified,
In every way that I will still abide in You
Till You come to take me home
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
And take a lifetime to know You, to know You
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
I'll take a lifetime to know You
Hold me Lord, keep me
Draw me closer every moment of my life
I met You like a little child
Wide-eyed and mystified
That You could love even me
So I'm here to testify
That it's been an amazing ride with You
And I have never walked alone
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
It's takes a lifetime to know You, to know You
And the more You show me, the more You grow me
The more Your glory becomes all there is
And the more I know You, the more I need You
The more I love You, the more You become to me
Fast-forward to the golden years
A smaller pride and a bigger fear
But still, no way are we done yet
I pray that You would keep me mystified,
In every way that I will still abide in You
Till You come to take me home
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
And take a lifetime to know You, to know You
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
I'll take a lifetime to know You
Hold me Lord, keep me
Draw me closer every moment of my life

OBS SABAH
i'm BACK!!! i miss all of you sweetie-pies here in singapore! lemme now recall everything that happened in sabah.
day one
students who were going for obs sabah were to assemble in school at 1pm. at that time, the school was like having chinese mid-year oral. haha. i have no mid year exams! we were briefed on the process of getting from school to sabah. we had to board a bus to get to senai airport and take a plane from there to the kota kinabalu airport. the school hired this bus which was HOT PINK! i screamed! i didn't want to take a bus which was pink in colour! haha. anyway, the trip to senai airport was fun. ate in the bus. everybody was happy go lucky. senai airport was freaking small. like phnom penh airport but bigger. there wasTWO wonderful shops there. FAMOUS AMOS and DUNKIN' DONUTS. went to both shops. me joyyeo shuyi allicia eunice sian, practically did our 2.4km there. walking from end to end talking. bored to death. haha.
when we finally were able to board the plane, it was hot like hell in there. stupid air asia. really budget. the aircon was like shit la. only till like we were in the air when it was cool. then we were not allowed to eat outside food in the plane, but who cares. the food they sold were so expensive! RM4 for a cup of milo? RM6 for cup noodles? anyway, the all the air stewardess acted like they had PMS to we fmss students -_-" the journey was two hours. the sunset scenery was amazingly beautiful. oh yah. i brought a camera with a 1GB memory card and two batteries. and the 1GB memory card didn' t fit the camera but it still worked but there were lots of card errors. but it didn't totally die out on me.
arriving at kota kinabalu airport. the airport was really freakingly small. the ob group was splitted into two groups to fit the two small buses. my bus group went crazy and kept on singing songs. by the time we reached the centre, it was already 7pm plus and it was dark and we put our bags outside the dining hall and proceeded in for dinner. this was the first encounter with the annoying mosquitoes. dinner was okay. we had to wash our own plates and utensils. after that, we were divided into our groups. i have no idea how we were divided. anyway, my group was group3. our instructors were mark and sarah. the people in were me cuifen gina shahidah and allicia amar liangfu yongchuan enping calvin danielsim and khaidan. one first thought, i thought that the group wouldn't work out. too clique-ish and stuff like that. but i was SO WRONG.
after in groups, our group went to collect our linen. it looked clean. we heard some noises above us and saw some things hanging. it looked like BATS but it was not. it was just some birds. swallows i think. and the shit pile they made was disgusting. and if you wanted to sit on the floor, you had to sit in a place away from those many shit piles. we then proceeded to our bunks with all our luggages. our group shared the bunk with group2. haha. then, we were on our own with some free time. then it was sleeping time, and i couldn't sleep. my pillow was so HARD but i fell asleep anyway.
day two
woke up at 5.30am and chiong to washup and brush. had to go for morning exercise at 6am at the field. serious mosquito feeding. haha. the exercise way weird. we had to like run to touch the trees. haha. then it was breakfast. was some noodles and kaya toast. after that was photo taking. group photo and whole ob group photo. then it was team dynamics. wow. lots of hugging and supporting each other. like crocodile crossing and bench arrangement. haha. don't care whether guy or girl, just touch la. haha. i have already started liking my group at this point of time. then it was lunch. lunch was okay la. then we had somemore team dynamics while group1 and 2 prepared for their sailing expedition and then they sailed off around sunset that time. then it was dinner and dinner was okay. had to wash our own stuff. oh yah. in the morning, don't know which group had to wash the toilet. at night, we had crocker range briefing and started packing our stuff. haha. i had to carry the biggest pot and two packets of maggi mee. plus my two days clothing and other miscellanous stuff. gosh. it was H-E-A-V-Y. then me and cuifen walked out of the building and saw the wonderful moon. you could see the covered black and the shinning moon against the dark blue sky and beautiful stars. really beautiful.oh yah. when packing for our 4 day hike, all 5 girls were fooling around. haha. we were siao. throwing the stuff even though we had a chain formed and played monkey. then it was nighty night.
day three
morning exercise at the beach. saw cows having their stroll. the parent cows were really protective of their lil' ones. haha. then we had to run from one end of the beach to the other. wasn't tiring. really. then it was off to crocker range. took our packed lunch. the bus was very dirty but comfortable. slept in the bus. reached crocker range. i was standing right behind those two navigators, daniel and yongchuan. haha. amazingly, though it was raining and everything was slippery, i didn't fall at all. we started the hike at around11am and hike all the way till 12 for lunch. first encounter with leeches. and i screamed when i dropped my chickenwing into the river and not seeing a leech. it began to rain non-stop. it was already 5pm and the sun was setting. around 6pm it was darkness. i quickly took out my torch and quickly went to pace daniel. i was the 2nd in the row. behind me was enping who was supporting shahidah and then amar. it was really thundering on us. around some narrow and curvy bends, it was really creepy and i was alone. daniel was too fast. i tripped over some root and almost fell off the cliff. luckily i managed to grab another firm root to pull myself up. it was tough and my bag was heavy. managed to pull myself up. and nobody saw me fall. i also didn't scream or whatever. just kept going.
when we finally reached the campsite, it was freakin dark and we sent up the tents in the dark and everybody just piled into it regardless of gender. we were all too cold tired and hungry to care. thankyou mark for helping us make the tent pegs. he is a MAN. inside the tent, we were safe from the rain but not the cold. it was war with the leeches. that was my first encounter with leeches. i screamed and teared when i just lifted up my shirt and saw two leeches sucking my blood! luckily gina dared to pull it off and found that i had another two on my back. i had quite a number on my legs but i could pull them up myself. we just pull them up and squash them up in leaves and threw them out. but the guys, haiyo, they had war with the leeches. they sprayed OFF! at the leeches and sprinkled prickly heat. they did everything to keep the leeches out. oh yah. leeches can't stand the prickly heat and mosquito repellant. it spoils their skin. doing that would bother the leech so painfully they it would curl up and burst to bleed. horrible sight. we guys and girls changed into dry tees with the torches off so nobody could see anything. haha. no peeping. though i was warm, i was still cold. and the space constraint made it worse. i was really SQUEEZED UP. not much sleep for me.
day four
i woke up happy to see the first rays of sunlight. there was quite some warmth. mark had come over to wake us up. we took down the tents and started to set up our fire and cooking stuff. i went to find y-sticks and argh, a vine implanted some cuts onto my left big toe. it became infected over the next few days. anyway after breakfast, we cooked lunch and packed it in. then we were off again. packed up the rest of the tents and groundsheets. argh. had to wear my soggy muddy sock again. trekking and trekking again. up and down, left and right. crossing rivers. for lunch, we camped at some small river. haha. filled up our jerry cans. then, it started to rain after lunch. soon, our formation became that i was in between calvin and cuifen. haha. we had lots of fun. cui was the funniest. no sooner that she said that she was very zai (pro) as she did not fall, she fell on the mud. instructor mark saw that and he just roared with laughter. calvin and i also laughed. managed to reach the village around 4pm. sang 'top of the world'. scenery was brillant. amar liangfu and wesley were simply hilarious with this hole. for that night, we stayed in a villager's home. they had dogs which were always hungry but obedient. the villager's shower was like heaven but cold. at least we girls were clean. the guys bathed somewhere else. i was really very tired so right after dinner, i slept. i only woke up at some times to put on more clothing. my friends said that i slept like some pig.
day five
woke up feeling real refreshed! brushed my teeth. only gina and i did. the rest...yuck.... anyway, we packed up, thanked the villages and it was off. trekking again. had lunch at a river again. we had to cross this bamboo bridge. al of us crossed it already. but when our instructor sarah crossed it, the bridge broke and luckily she fell on a grass patch and not into the river. whew! as for mark, he just walked across the remains of the bridge effortlessly. what a man.
when we finally got to the village around 2pm, i was the first girl to reach there. group4 was already there. and so i was quite infront of my group, then i saw mr ganesan run out from some shelter half naked!!! he only had a blue towel to cover his lower part. i screamed and covered my eyes. haha. then i turned around the corner and had a shock of my life. the whole of the group4 guys were bathing half naked! i screamed again. then shahidah came to see why i screamed, she herself screamed when she saw the topless guys. really. it was a shock. we then went to bathe. wash our head only la. actually we were supposed to help the villagers there but it was raining heavily so we stayed inside playing. haha. played truth and dare with cuifen sophia gina amar liangfu and wesley. man. liangfu acutally dared to do the dares with made him do. he really had nothing to lose. hilarious game. then it was dinner. i helped to wash the plates and utensils. about 20 plus stuff to wash. it's a lot. then after dinner, it was the cultural exchange time. the kedahsans had their eagle dance and gong presentaion while we just sang 'the more we get together' in many languages and our school song. haha. nice. took some photos and stuff like that.
and we, dynamos, realised that liangfu had a retard face. haha. joking. oh yah. my grp had a tough time choosing a group name. first it was penguins then it was something else then something else then headhunters then something else then finally dynamo. we didn't even know why we chose that name. our instructor sarah just suggested the name dynamo and we took it. haha. it was then bedtime. mr ganesan told us 'bedtime stories' which were actually ghost stories. i slept inbetween alvin hui and sophia lim. haha. my legs were at enping's. at some point of time, i really needed to go pee. i got sian to go with me. it was really scary. with only a torch. then i went back to sleep. this time everybody woke up and it was only like 2am and we were all feeling cold. so we put all our feet together. man. it was very warm and heavy and the same time.
day six
woke up feeling cold again. me gina shahidah and allicia had our breakfast later because we were doing the washing. i helped packed the lunch in. then we were off again. our final hike. after quite sometime, we came to a river and we had to cross it. mark, our instructor, the MAN-LIEST MAN OF ALL MEN, went to test out the current. too strong. so we had to cross it by a log. hilarious sight. crossing the river on a log was like humping the log! me n cuifen immediately thought of igallop. the sickest invention. haha. when we finally reached the fish pond, we had our maggi lunch. poor shahidah, she injured her shin the day before and it became worse when she well. so we made our way to the fish pond first. after that, mark came rushing to us saying that one girl had to stay with shahidah and them while the rest of us catch up with the group4. gina voluteered. so we were off.
i was called to go to the front. haiyo. made me pissed off. group4's instructor johnny kept on playing with the leeches. irritating. no wonder the weaklings liked his pace. it was already 4pm and still i couldn't see the finishing point. my morale really dropped. then i started telling my lame jokes to boost people's morale. it brought laughter. haha. my bag was really heavy by now. i even carried shahidah's part of the load. heavy sia. still i perserve on. didn't fall or anything. when we finally saw and heard sounds of the cars on the road, everybody pratically screamed and lit up! we were happy! i teared when i finally saw the road and the bus waiting for us. there was a steep slope to scale but i didn't care. i was like sliding and jumping and when i finally reached the road, i hugged a pole. it turned out to be an electricity pole. haha. no lightning. everybody was rejoicing! hugs and kisses were made. haha. after like 10 hours in the jungle with rain and cold, it was good to see the road. i sat with enping on the bus. leeches everywhere. one crawled to my ear and another to my arm when i was sleeping. another two creeped into each feet. and all 4 were tiger leeches. in the bunk, i pulled all of them out and the bites wouldn't stop bleeding! even plastering them with many plasters, it didn't work.it overflowed out of the plaster. changed the plasters over and over again.haiyo.
i was really very tired so right after dinner, i washed my clothes and shoes and slippers and dried them and then plonked to dreamland with cuifen and allicia. wonder how come sophia and gina and shahidhah had so much energy left in them.
day six
eveybody was late. didn't brush teeth or whatever. we were all so tired that we overslept. supposed to be at the beach house by 6am but i woke up at 6am and immediately woke everyone up! i was the only one who could wake up! me and cui chiong to the beachhouse. we were one of the earliest. haiyo. we had a light exercise and then we went for breakfast. best breakfast ever. after that, we had to pack our bags for sailing. lesser stuff to bring. we set off around like 11am. i learned how to setup the sails and everything. haha. the jig sail. we were much faster than the group4. then it rained. perfect time for a swim and we had already set up our tents and everything. we all ran and plonked into the water. played monkey. then later group4 joined us. haha. then some guys went to play soccer. me n cuifen went to join them. it was freezing cold out of the water and it was raining and there was wind. after a while i was warm but all the running. haha. tackled wesley and i didn't fall. sturdy. he fell. i never want to be the goalkeeper. something like striker. haha. played midfield also. haha. poor wesley. kena by me twice. when the rain stopped we started on our dinner. cooked a buffet. haha. everyone of us opened up by then. when it became dark, me and allicia went to change. accompanied gina. wonderful sunset. dinner was good. sandflies was irritating. haha.
around like 10pm, our group went for a group walk from one end of the beach to the other end. haha. great fun. then after that, it was ghost story time. nice effect. around 11pm, i was really very tiredd and so me and cuifen followed amar and the rest into the tent. slept like a pig again. sailing was tiring.
day seven
woke up. we prepared a good breakfast for the instructors. yummy. was like a buffet. we even had watermelon was breakfast. haha. we then set up the sailing boat again. wow. in the morning, the beach waters had tons of jellyfish! dangerous man. their sting is poisonous. we soon set off. dynamo was very slack that day la. we just wanted the tow boat to tow us back. ooh. i got wonderfully tanned. haha. lovely. the moment we reached back at the obs centre, we jumped for joy! haha. all of us immediately splitted jobs. i did the pot cleaning. haha. its amazing how you can clean soot off with sand. after pot washing, it was lunch time. then i went back to the bunk. it's was a mess. anyway, i still loved it. and i couldn't find my camera. i was super distressed. i went shouting to amar. he too was shocked for his own camera went haywire. after my bath, i went to lie on the bed to try and think where i last put it. in the end, i fell asleep. then it was time for some high elements. but it was raining so it was cancelled. and was changed to some reflecting. had to write a letter. then i went back to the bunk to pack and find my camera. at last, i found it. it was near the dustbin. -_-". some idiot. whoever put that there is ----------. anyway, stuffed everything into the fila luggage bag. then it was like 5pm and it was dinner time. after dinner, we had to assemble already to leave for the kota kinabalu airport. yay! mark came with us to see us off. real touching. and even the guys cried.
on the plane, this time i sat gina and mr ganesan! in front was cuifen liangfu and amar. haiyo. no fun. those two girls slept like pigs. i bought cup noodles on the place and liangfu bought a cup of milo. thanks liangfu for helping me talk to the stewardess. we got pretty pissed with the air stewardess and so did mr ganesan. we reached senai airport and was disappointed that dunkin donuts wasn't open. took the hot pink bus back again. to fmss. wow. miss lim wasn't there but mr ow was. wowowow. had a final debrief. haha. my daddy pooled shuyi home. haha. thats it.

morning exercise at the beach. saw cows having their stroll. the parent cows were really protective of their lil' ones. haha. then we had to run from one end of the beach to the other. wasn't tiring. really. then it was off to crocker range. took our packed lunch. the bus was very dirty but comfortable. slept in the bus. reached crocker range. i was standing right behind those two navigators, daniel and yongchuan. haha. amazingly, though it was raining and everything was slippery, i didn't fall at all. we started the hike at around11am and hike all the way till 12 for lunch. first encounter with leeches. and i screamed when i dropped my chickenwing into the river and not seeing a leech. it began to rain non-stop. it was already 5pm and the sun was setting. around 6pm it was darkness. i quickly took out my torch and quickly went to pace daniel. i was the 2nd in the row. behind me was enping who was supporting shahidah and then amar. it was really thundering on us. around some narrow and curvy bends, it was really creepy and i was alone. daniel was too fast. i tripped over some root and almost fell off the cliff. luckily i managed to grab another firm root to pull myself up. it was tough and my bag was heavy. managed to pull myself up. and nobody saw me fall. i also didn't scream or whatever. just kept going.
when we finally reached the campsite, it was freakin dark and we sent up the tents in the dark and everybody just piled into it regardless of gender. we were all too cold tired and hungry to care. thankyou mark for helping us make the tent pegs. he is a MAN. inside the tent, we were safe from the rain but not the cold. it was war with the leeches. that was my first encounter with leeches. i screamed and teared when i just lifted up my shirt and saw two leeches sucking my blood! luckily gina dared to pull it off and found that i had another two on my back. i had quite a number on my legs but i could pull them up myself. we just pull them up and squash them up in leaves and threw them out. but the guys, haiyo, they had war with the leeches. they sprayed OFF! at the leeches and sprinkled prickly heat. they did everything to keep the leeches out. oh yah. leeches can't stand the prickly heat and mosquito repellant. it spoils their skin. doing that would bother the leech so painfully they it would curl up and burst to bleed. horrible sight. we guys and girls changed into dry tees with the torches off so nobody could see anything. haha. no peeping. though i was warm, i was still cold. and the space constraint made it worse. i was really SQUEEZED UP. not much sleep for me.
day four
i woke up happy to see the first rays of sunlight. there was quite some warmth. mark had come over to wake us up. we took down the tents and started to set up our fire and cooking stuff. i went to find y-sticks and argh, a vine implanted some cuts onto my left big toe. it became infected over the next few days. anyway after breakfast, we cooked lunch and packed it in. then we were off again. packed up the rest of the tents and groundsheets. argh. had to wear my soggy muddy sock again. trekking and trekking again. up and down, left and right. crossing rivers. for lunch, we camped at some small river. haha. filled up our jerry cans. then, it started to rain after lunch. soon, our formation became that i was in between calvin and cuifen. haha. we had lots of fun. cui was the funniest. no sooner that she said that she was very zai (pro) as she did not fall, she fell on the mud. instructor mark saw that and he just roared with laughter. calvin and i also laughed. managed to reach the village around 4pm. sang 'top of the world'. scenery was brillant. amar liangfu and wesley were simply hilarious with this hole. for that night, we stayed in a villager's home. they had dogs which were always hungry but obedient. the villager's shower was like heaven but cold. at least we girls were clean. the guys bathed somewhere else. i was really very tired so right after dinner, i slept. i only woke up at some times to put on more clothing. my friends said that i slept like some pig.
day five
woke up feeling real refreshed! brushed my teeth. only gina and i did. the rest...yuck.... anyway, we packed up, thanked the villages and it was off. trekking again. had lunch at a river again. we had to cross this bamboo bridge. al of us crossed it already. but when our instructor sarah crossed it, the bridge broke and luckily she fell on a grass patch and not into the river. whew! as for mark, he just walked across the remains of the bridge effortlessly. what a man.
when we finally got to the village around 2pm, i was the first girl to reach there. group4 was already there. and so i was quite infront of my group, then i saw mr ganesan run out from some shelter half naked!!! he only had a blue towel to cover his lower part. i screamed and covered my eyes. haha. then i turned around the corner and had a shock of my life. the whole of the group4 guys were bathing half naked! i screamed again. then shahidah came to see why i screamed, she herself screamed when she saw the topless guys. really. it was a shock. we then went to bathe. wash our head only la. actually we were supposed to help the villagers there but it was raining heavily so we stayed inside playing. haha. played truth and dare with cuifen sophia gina amar liangfu and wesley. man. liangfu acutally dared to do the dares with made him do. he really had nothing to lose. hilarious game. then it was dinner. i helped to wash the plates and utensils. about 20 plus stuff to wash. it's a lot. then after dinner, it was the cultural exchange time. the kedahsans had their eagle dance and gong presentaion while we just sang 'the more we get together' in many languages and our school song. haha. nice. took some photos and stuff like that.
and we, dynamos, realised that liangfu had a retard face. haha. joking. oh yah. my grp had a tough time choosing a group name. first it was penguins then it was something else then something else then headhunters then something else then finally dynamo. we didn't even know why we chose that name. our instructor sarah just suggested the name dynamo and we took it. haha. it was then bedtime. mr ganesan told us 'bedtime stories' which were actually ghost stories. i slept inbetween alvin hui and sophia lim. haha. my legs were at enping's. at some point of time, i really needed to go pee. i got sian to go with me. it was really scary. with only a torch. then i went back to sleep. this time everybody woke up and it was only like 2am and we were all feeling cold. so we put all our feet together. man. it was very warm and heavy and the same time.
day six
woke up feeling cold again. me gina shahidah and allicia had our breakfast later because we were doing the washing. i helped packed the lunch in. then we were off again. our final hike. after quite sometime, we came to a river and we had to cross it. mark, our instructor, the MAN-LIEST MAN OF ALL MEN, went to test out the current. too strong. so we had to cross it by a log. hilarious sight. crossing the river on a log was like humping the log! me n cuifen immediately thought of igallop. the sickest invention. haha. when we finally reached the fish pond, we had our maggi lunch. poor shahidah, she injured her shin the day before and it became worse when she well. so we made our way to the fish pond first. after that, mark came rushing to us saying that one girl had to stay with shahidah and them while the rest of us catch up with the group4. gina voluteered. so we were off.
i was called to go to the front. haiyo. made me pissed off. group4's instructor johnny kept on playing with the leeches. irritating. no wonder the weaklings liked his pace. it was already 4pm and still i couldn't see the finishing point. my morale really dropped. then i started telling my lame jokes to boost people's morale. it brought laughter. haha. my bag was really heavy by now. i even carried shahidah's part of the load. heavy sia. still i perserve on. didn't fall or anything. when we finally saw and heard sounds of the cars on the road, everybody pratically screamed and lit up! we were happy! i teared when i finally saw the road and the bus waiting for us. there was a steep slope to scale but i didn't care. i was like sliding and jumping and when i finally reached the road, i hugged a pole. it turned out to be an electricity pole. haha. no lightning. everybody was rejoicing! hugs and kisses were made. haha. after like 10 hours in the jungle with rain and cold, it was good to see the road. i sat with enping on the bus. leeches everywhere. one crawled to my ear and another to my arm when i was sleeping. another two creeped into each feet. and all 4 were tiger leeches. in the bunk, i pulled all of them out and the bites wouldn't stop bleeding! even plastering them with many plasters, it didn't work.it overflowed out of the plaster. changed the plasters over and over again.haiyo.
i was really very tired so right after dinner, i washed my clothes and shoes and slippers and dried them and then plonked to dreamland with cuifen and allicia. wonder how come sophia and gina and shahidhah had so much energy left in them.
