this is my footdrill reflection.
it is up to you to read it. it is BORING. no explicit text. it is 100% boring. if i can add those into my reflection, i would get suspended. it is not purely from my heart. i have to hide alot of things as this is a reflection to be handed up to the teachers.
Being the person as to plan the footdrill trainings, it got me hyped up for this footdrill competition. The preparation, to me, started quite late and maybe, that is one factor as to why the squad was not good enough to win the compeition. It was hard to persuade the experienced people to come join the squad again. For me, to be in the squad for the third time, was a very big thing.
For the first training, I could see the enthusiasm in everybody’s faces. Most of the squad was made up of first-timers and that could be the second factor as to why we were not good enough as we lack the team experience. It was possible due to the previous competition preparation that made the cadets lose their enthusiasm in footdrill. It could also be that losing last season’s footdrill competition was a setback to those cadets.
As time passed on during the December holidays, I was not able to attend most of them as I was away on holidays. I would really like to apologize to the squad for that. The first few trainings were basically meant to test the knowledge of drill commands of the squad and there were many mistakes being committed. But as the trainings passed, the standard of the squad increased.
There were many times as when the squad’s morale was very low. Especially when most of the squad mates weren’t there. Time was running out and there was never once when there was a whole squad drilling together. Everyone had different commitments. Much sacrifice had to be made but even I, wasn’t good enough to prioritize. I believe morale plays another great importance to the performance of footdrill. During the whole of the December trainings, I feel that the squad was very cheery and most of the times, too playful to even focus.
I believe most of the squad’s upbringing is due to the VIs, Leonard-sir and Chanel-ma’am. They have brought much knowledge to the squad. With their past experience, they managed to impart them to the squad. However, there were times when we NCOs felt that they had took a step too far. The VIs had pretty much taken control of everything at one time, that we NCOs, did not do much. We sort of saw that as an interference. Since we have taken over the unit, why do we still have so much support and help? Shouldn’t we be at least left to stand-alone and do something on ourselves. If we have a setback, then the VIs should then be there to give us advice but not take control of the whole situation. Anyway, I believe that what they have done is for the squad’s own good.
Putting that aside, when I returned for the training in January, I saw that the squad had a great improvement in their standard of drill but the others didn’t think so. It was because that seeing the squad every time, one would be monitoring so closely that the changes would not be big. This shows that at least the squad has put the effort to make an improvement.
During the footdrill camp, I believe that the squad really bonded together and that it is true that the training was not tough due to the bad weather. The footdrill camp was the only time where there was a full squad. I feel that the squad bonded greatly only through the games that we played. It was fun. The squad bonded little during hardships. There were little bickerings here and there. It was only through this camp that we then knew our confidence and fitness level. It was through this that we then knew our strengths and weaknesses and also, how much the teachers and VIs cared for us.
The friendly competition with TKSS was a good advantage. It gave us a view as to where we stood. It turned out that we were too high above ourselves. There were too many first-timers resulting in a nervous breakdown in some cadets. Also, I believe that the morale of the squad was not there as there was not a full squad. This has been a good experience. I believe for the next season for preparation for the footdrill competition, there should be another collaboration. A friendly competition should not be a setback to anyone, but a very good learning experience.
The day of the competition. I believe that the first-timers felt nervous. For me, I did not feel much as it was the third time for me. During the waiting time, Fion was motivating the whole team. Everyone was feeling relaxed up till a point that some could fall asleep. Much confidence was boosted in the cadets. During the uniform inspection, I believe that everyone in the squad did their best to show off their ‘7 protocols’. At the corner of my eye, I could see that some other competitors had fall out of their squad, as they could not take it. On the competition ground itself, I was confident of myself. I admit that I did a mistake. I could not really hear Irysad’s command clearly. I believe that everyone in the squad put in their best effort. During the competition, I could not really see how my squad mates were doing as I was executing the ‘7 protocols’. After the results were announced, disappointment was spread out clearly on everyone’s faces. The lesson learnt from Miss Tai and Miss Shamsiah’s pep talk had inspired me as to how to prepare the next squad. Afterwards, Fion, Huiling and I, really wanted the cadets to stay back to watch the 2nd round of competition to gain experience for the next season of preparation. We were quite disappointed in them, except for Ginyong who was the only one who stayed back. We were really proud for him.
My reflection has made me realized that I have not really prioritize my commitments and that was maybe the 3rd factor as to why we did not succeed. With all my factors plus all the other cadet’s factors and reasons, I hope that it would not occur for the next batch.
My passion for footdrill will never die out. After so many setbacks, I have still continued drilling. I wish to see more of the cadets following suit. I have always put my full 100% effort to constant remind myself of my mistakes. I push myself to the limits. Never have I at any point of time, fall out of the squad because I feel sick. Footdrill has played a great importance in my school life in Fairfield. This has been a new life-changing experience for me. With added on experience from this season’s compeition, I’m sure it would motivate me further in my studies.

preparations
friday
cross country. i am SO PROUD of myself. being in the 'b'division is tough, but i managed to get 12th position!! whee. i remember the time when daddy was sending both my brother and i to macritchie reservoir for cross country. i was VERY NERVOUS. anyway, when i got there, it was super dark. there were no lights. went to the area where my class gathered to get our WONDERFUL class tee. 4d's class tee is green in colour with our names on the back. went to the toilet to change quickly and gathered with the councillors to settle down the school.
awhile later, the 'b'division boys had started and miss fiona tan started to pray for the rest of the school. that's when it started to rain. then it was the 'b'division girls turn to begin our run. at the starting point, there was hardly any time for us to stretch. the girls representing our class, 4d, was me, gina, sarah, sophie, julia and elizabeth. boy were we all good. we all got into top 30. sarah was the best! she got 8th, gina got 11th, i got 12th, elizabeth got 14th, sophie got 26th and julia got 28th. there was one time in the race when all of us 4d girls were running together in a vertical line. we are good! i remember overtaking a lot of people in the forested area. i remember my tactics. run down slopes like a mad person and slow a little down when the path was straight and when i come to the steep slope entering the highway, i will speed up cause that's where everyone slows seriously down.
while we girls were running in the forested area, we didn't know that it was already raining so heavily till we got to the highway where we got drenched. throughout my race, my mind was in a constant positive attitude. i told myself to NOT GIVE UP and i'm running not for my own, but for the class as well. also, it's my last year and therefore, i had to make a deep imprint in my life and i did. for sec1 crosscountry, i didn't know my capabilities. i think my position was like 70-80 plus. but for sec2, it was 8th. for sec3, it was 13th and for sec4, 12th! whee. i'm so happy.
anyway, only the b'division managed to run for crosscountry. cause it was RAINING SERIOUSLY HEAVY and the school chartered buses to bring EVERYBODY back to school. i don't know what will happen to the c'division and the fun run. don't know what the school will do.
after cross country, i went out with the same grp of people. it was us 5 girls and 9 boys (i think). the grp was pretty indecisive about what to do with the rest of the afternoon. oh, and during lunch, sihui told jingming that he had those kind of eyes that could dian dao bie ren. then he tried it on me, which didn't work. haha. had lunch with them and then went shopping with mummy!
i don't know how people can stand shopping for many hours! after quite sometime, i really couldn't take it. i badly needed to sit. so my mother and i went to starbucks. i can't believe that they would charge $3.20 just for a cup of tea! it's so OVERPRICED. i will never buy that again. it was just plain english tea and for $3.20. OMG.
went back to shopping. i can't believe how easy it is to get a dress for an occasion and just not get a shirt and skirt. but my good friend told me that, you can only wear your dress the 2nd time after a long long time. while for a skirt, you can mix and match. the problem now is that i have to find accessories for the dresses. -_-"
i used to tell myself that i'll never wear a dress again. but it seems like i have broken that.
anyway,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!!

stuck
i'm seriously in delirium. i'm like a hamburger. the top bun would be schoolwork, the lettuce would be red cross, the tomatoes would be council, the meat patty would be ME and the last bottom bun would be pressure. and this hamburger would be squashed up, rolled up and stamped on. i really HATE people raising their voices at me, including adults. we shoudl be given the proper respect that we deserve. i don't and never shout at a teacher, why must the teacher scold us, and in a raised voice too? the current teenager minds are in the influence of defiance. if someone challenges us, all the more we should challenge that person back and make sure he/she loses at his/her own game.
moving on. i'm so GLAD/HAPPY/ELATED/JOYOUS with working with GINA :) in council, we're the project heads. and i'm really thankful for the people whom we'll we working with. jacon, jocelyn, constance, eunice, julia, ryan, deborah, xuening, jumana, abigail, cassandra, magdalene and sueann.
today was student leaders invesititure rehearsal. both caleb and i are the MCs for that event and we're not really that ready. i kinda prepared the whole script and i tried to like add as much prolific words as i can. and OMG, jorel is like SUPER DUPER UBER GOOD in playing that electric guitar of his. it's al polished and shiny. i think he really takes pride in it. anyway, he's the very detalied kind of person. and he can play CANON IN D with his electric guitar. do you realise how much that skill and talent it takes? yiling was gushing over the music...
for this week, i'll be doing assembly with allicia! she'll be singing the national anthem while i like do the rest. it's not my first time, but everytime i do it, it's like the first. it's scary facing the whole school BUT i bet that joy and joy, fion and caleb has practically gotten used to it.
anyway,...

footdrill camp
have i ever mentioned how big my love is for footdrill?
anyway, the passion for it is so great that i like correcting mistakes. i really am happy when i see my cadets executing correctly and disappointed when they don't. i think i'm a strict instructor.
this year's camp wasn't THAT INTENSIVE as we were drilling in the hall because of the rain. i think everyone's drills improved tons. i also learnt some stuff, real new stuff. footdrill drained my energy, and furthermore, i slept around 3.30pm and had to wake up at 6.45pm. freezing cold. NOT me. i was snugly warm in my sleeping bag. fion, irysad and hengguang slept in stretchers, huiling slept ON TOP of her sleeping bag, qihui ma'am, leonard sir, joanne and chanel ma'am slept in the cold floor. all of them woke up freezing. and all of us squeezed into the red cross room, sleeping.
footdrill is really the best. i think everyone had fun during the camp, especially playing all the childish games that i thought of. snake catching is really tiring and brain-teasing. haha. during the weekly redcross meeting before camp, red cross was playing snake catching in the pa1. man, did my ear suffer some serious damage. everyone was screaming and really having fun. i think many of them really enjoyed the day.
footdrill camp really drained out tons of people, during debrief it was really hilarious to see some dozing off. i had huiling to keep me awake. haha. i just can't stop thinking about it. after dissmisal, the cadets went home, irysad n hengguang played soccer with the volleyball, fion n huiling n amanda went home, atiqah went to bathe n then home, chanel ma'am and leonard sir went home together and while waiting for my dad to fetch me home i ACTUALLY did some chinese homework that zeng lao shi gave us. unbelievable.
upon reaching home around 4.30pm, i immediately fell alseep on my bed and only woke up at12.30am when my mom was scolding my brother. i was delirious. my body wasn't used to this. cooked myself some maggi mee and went asleep again.
woke up, watched tv, did homework and here i am now.
dear Lord, i'm really sorry for not going to church.

orientation'07
boy oh boy.
before orientation, preparation
i'm never into the logistics/adminstration thingy. it's just NOT MY THING. if you make me do it, i'll do it but not good enough. i'm the kind which ra ra people. i can scold people and then bring them up happy again. i'm the kind which does a lot of interaction. i'm not the backstage kind. i'm the upfront kind and i'll do a good job of it. so, i'm afraid i didn't really do my job being the logsitics head. oops sorry.
the class i took is IH obadiah. i'll really miss them. this is the last class i'll be taking before i leave fairfield.
i took 1I in 2005, 1G in 2006 and 1H this year 2007. why am i always doing this kind of classes? i really wanted to do a express class. i wanted to know the difference. guess that i won't ever be doing that already.
took the class with rachel gong, mark ho, hannah lee, debroah lim, clarence, suanfong, kueider and joseph. oh. the alumni were helped was marshall and ziyang.
orientation day one
i was okay with this day. it's like all orientation day ones. it's always the same thing. the sec1s wouldn't feel enthusiatic at all on this day. it was really funny to see all those first-timers handling the sec1s. they were impatient, frustrated, all those stuff. how comical. won't mention names. it was really hard learning those sec1 names. i could like only remember two? sigh. i got really pissed on this day. not because of the sec1 kids, but because of something else.
orientation day two
this day were really the dumps for the sec1s. they didn't had recess and had to go for some stupid talk. i really think that this talks are really not necessary for the first few days of school. even if they wanted a session like that, just one would do. on this day, i could see the immature sec1s. the sec1s which acted like they were still pri6. i could see the mature ones. not that they were loners but they knew that it was time to grow up and not be childish. there was this really weird kid in 1h called alexander aka alex. while everyone in the hall was learning the mass dance, he just started to bend and filp his body in weird ways that i don't wanna touch. so i got foowai to help me. man, where was marshall??
orientation day three, final
on this very day, i could see that almost everyone in my class had somesort become a little grown up and matured. almost all of them were enthusiatic in everthing. i was SUPER UBER HAPPY! then, i came to know this boy called alvin. boy was he cute and short. he reminded me of somebody. anyway, during their workshop, i came to know that alex was really this smart kid if you really get to know him. though 1h lost most of the games, they never despaired. just tired.
i really love you 1H! i will definitely miss you guys!

took the class with rachel gong, mark ho, hannah lee, debroah lim, clarence, suanfong, kueider and joseph. oh. the alumni were helped was marshall and ziyang.
orientation day one
i was okay with this day. it's like all orientation day ones. it's always the same thing. the sec1s wouldn't feel enthusiatic at all on this day. it was really funny to see all those first-timers handling the sec1s. they were impatient, frustrated, all those stuff. how comical. won't mention names. it was really hard learning those sec1 names. i could like only remember two? sigh. i got really pissed on this day. not because of the sec1 kids, but because of something else.
orientation day two
this day were really the dumps for the sec1s. they didn't had recess and had to go for some stupid talk. i really think that this talks are really not necessary for the first few days of school. even if they wanted a session like that, just one would do. on this day, i could see the immature sec1s. the sec1s which acted like they were still pri6. i could see the mature ones. not that they were loners but they knew that it was time to grow up and not be childish. there was this really weird kid in 1h called alexander aka alex. while everyone in the hall was learning the mass dance, he just started to bend and filp his body in weird ways that i don't wanna touch. so i got foowai to help me. man, where was marshall??
orientation day three, final
on this very day, i could see that almost everyone in my class had somesort become a little grown up and matured. almost all of them were enthusiatic in everthing. i was SUPER UBER HAPPY! then, i came to know this boy called alvin. boy was he cute and short. he reminded me of somebody. anyway, during their workshop, i came to know that alex was really this smart kid if you really get to know him. though 1h lost most of the games, they never despaired. just tired.
i really love you 1H! i will definitely miss you guys!
songs
man. there's been like some songs which i have been addicted to

happy new year
ushering in year 2007 is the best thing that had ever happened to me.
new year's eve
woke up at 9.30am. crazy me. went to church for some admin stuff. after that, attended service in the century. the sermon was good. i think i was like an irritation to the people sitting around me because of my runny nose and irritating cough. i was like blowing my nose and coughing phlegm the whole time. i used up two packets of tissue in just two hours? crazy me. the sermon was like : life in church in the upcoming future. i was like making notes on how to make up a sermon. was thinking to myself, if i were to preach in the future, how am i going to do it? better draft up a template now. come to think of it, yesterday's sermon was much of a sermon. the pastor was just like talking about building up the church in the future.
highlight of the day! went to gerald's house of countdown. we, youthexplorers, about 30 of us i think, went to macs first for dinner, then around 8pm, we went to gerald's house. boy, he lived on the top floor. why do most people i know, like to live at the top floors? anyway, gerald keeps TWO dogs. narcotics dogs. they sniff out drugs. one's a beagle the other is some mixed breed. both are males. i really like both dogs. they don't bark at all. NOT AT ALL. both dogs are SUPER UBER heavy. i think triple is losing hair. ANYWAY, i played mahjong and taiti like the whole time i was there. don't really like bridge. over at gerald's house, we also sang songs and had a sharing session. gerald was the one who started sharing, then ian. my brother was supposed to share too, but aiyah it's just him. my bro can't share his personal experiences.
anyway, my brother learnt how to play mahjong. i think he's getting addicted on it (: mahjong just so totally rock. the low brothers are pretty good at it. it was only after a few rounds of mahjong before benlow actually won. SUDDENLY, we had to stop our game. gerald got news that there was bombing in thailand. we had to stop and pray for our dear friends in bangkok. it turned out that they weren't hurt and that they were only just two stations away from the bombing site.
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1..HAPPY NEW YEAR!! everyone then went round shaking hands, wishing their well wishes. wah. shaun yen. you squeezed my hand extremely painfully. you're an idiot. anyway, we got back to playing mahjong till we had to leave. oh. jiansheng is like uber good in playing the guitar. i think both me n daniel pflug are like awed by him.
daddy sent both jiansheng n enyao home. boy were we squeezed like sardines in the car. off to dreamland at 11pm.
new year day
i love this day. daddy, mummy, me, nat n vanessa spent the whole day with uncle paul, kochi, james and wesley
morning.
i felt really sick and we're going pulau ubin for cycling. my body was aching. i think i felt like i had a fever. when we reached changi for breakfast, i had no appetite at all. i was so sick. when uncle paul, wesley n james arrived, they arrived on their bikes. they rode all the way from home!! POWER sia. i felt totally sick. mummy suggested to go take panadol so i had to like WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE CAR to get the PANADOL. i really felt better after that. panadol really works. oh. i saw REMY ONG at changi marketplace. the bowler!! remy ong looks so different as on tv. as soon as my brother heard that remy ong was like just where we were, he got up and tried to find him. around 9am, we boarded the bumpboat to get to pulau ubin.
it has been a REALLY LONG time since i last been to pulau ubin. the last time was like in sec1? or even pri6! we rented bikes and as usual, the bikes were screwed. why are the gears so hard to switch? haha. my mother doesn't know how to manuever those gears unlike me, daddy n nat. so whenever we came to those hills or slopes, she would get down from the bike and push. it took quite sometime to familiarize myself with the bike. ONCE I GOT USED TO IT, it was FREEHAND!! cycling without two hands! whooo! that adrenali rocks! my record is like 10seconds freehand riding. after having some coconuts at some beach, i told my mummy that i came to pulau ubin for some real exercise and really have some fun, not just cycling to enjoy the breeze. uncle paul kinda overheard and so, daddy, mummy and vanessa were one team and went somewhere else easier to cycle. while me, nat, wesley, james and uncle paul were one team and cycled some road tougher. did i say that i want some real excitement? OH BOY. DID I GET ONE.
uncle paul led us to some really bad terrain track. got scratched by branches, bumps here and there. bugs, mud, whatever dirty. then, there were this really big overhanging branches with leaves and all that. all of us but james went through. SUDDENLY, we're all crazy monkeys. RED ANTS!! those bloody red ants! going through that branches shook off tons of ants on us. those red ants bit really hard. it was painful. we were whacking each other. tons of screaming, jumping and yelling. it was like the moment i got through those branches, i felt something biting me, saw it was red ants, i THREW off my bike and went around screaming and hitting myself. now looking back, the scene must be seriously hilarious. LAUGH OUT LOUD. i really had a fun time cycling. had lunch in pulau ubin. cycled to the quarry and that's the end. it's back to the singapore shores.
we planned to meet at changi beach club for swimming. my mom and kochi went somewhere in the clubhouse to enjoy themselves. my brother, sister and i played around with the little kiddies while waiting for james n wesley to come join us. i think it was like more than an hour later before they came. haha. vanessa got bullied by wesley. TONS. they were playing with some coin. like fetch the coin once it's thrown into the pool and the first person to get it wins. after they were playing a few times, i decided to play in too. boy was wesley SO SURPRISED. the whole scene was underwater. i got to the coin first but he practically swerve my hand away from getting it, so i did it the same to him. i got it, but i snatched it away so i snatched it back and swam back to the surface. it's amazing that i actually managed to keep my breath underwater all this time. then when wesley surfaced, he was SHOCKED. haha. continued swimming till 6pm. oh. i was also trying to teach both james n wesley how to somesault into the water. man. they have no balls! haha. they were like super timid about not doing it. sigh.
anyway, showered, got dressed and went for dinner at the cafe. the portions were like super small! after dinner was bowling. i bet wesley was lying when he said that it was his 2nd time bowling his whole life. he's like UBER good. VERY good. he said it's newbie's luck. urgh. whatever. after two games, we went to check on daddy n uncle paul on their karoke. gosh. i don't really like karoke. that's why i don't go to kbox or whatever. it's not that my voice is not good, but i don't really like singing some stupid love song and look at the screen which has some stupid background going on.
anyway, i sat on this really comfy couch. wesley came to sit too. haha. and we're like talking so loudly over the noise. okay not noise. uncle paul n daddy n mummy n kochi were singing. it just doesn't sound pleasant to my ears. i think i was like screaming talking. anyway, james wanted to sing a song, so he got wesley to sing with him. man. i had to shut my ears! after some songs, we went home. could not stop thinking n smiling to myself about what had happened the whole day.
the best day of my life :)

Jokes
Lawyers on a flight
An airliner was having engine trouble, and the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their seats and get prepared for an emergency landing.
A few minutes later, the pilot asked the flight attendants if everyone was buckled in and ready.
"All set back here, Captain," came the reply, "except the lawyers are still going around passing out business cards."

oh. i'll be leaving this wednesday to next monday. so i won't be going for footdrill practice.
i was watching mtv this morning, and i saw this really wonderful mtv by linday lohan. confessions of a broken heart. i really think that the lyrics are really good.
I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
Family in crisis that only grows older
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart
I wear all your old clothes, the old polo sweater
I dream of another you the one who would never never
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that’s what I needed
So why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don’t know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart
Of a broken heart
I love you,
I love you I love you,I,
I love you,
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I dont know you
But I still want to
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
Tell me the truth
Did you ever love me
Did you ever love me
These are... the confessions of a broken heart
Ohhhh... yeah
And I waited for the postman to bring me a letter
oh. i'll be leaving this wednesday to next monday. so i won't be going for footdrill practice.

council camp
council camp was a blast! to me, it really went super duper well. love it! i was like the best planned camp that i ever went to.
group
okay. both me and gina were in the same group! whoohoo! okay. our group's name is mars. MARS bar. our group comprised of hiysam, shaun, aaron, amelia, rachel and aileen. i must say that our group is one of the best of the groups. so, overall, the winning group was venus, 2nd was jupiter and 3rd was mars. MARS!! we came up with this really cute cheer. haha. so here it goes:
wouldn't it be nice if the world was made of mars bars
eating mars bars would be a tasty treat
changing planets would soon become a problem
mars bars are so addictive
when you arrive at our pretty planet
you'll be greeted by our sexy martians!
wouldn't it be mars
haha. hilarious. surprisingly, our group was super sporting and fun, unlike all other groups that i have took before. this group was really a typical group, with the few hyper few, the quiet few, the leader and the loner and the follower. i've really noticed quite alot of the people in my group.
icebreakers
haha. this was a silly period. the simon says game was hilarious. we, planning com, guessed that the council is just too smart and clever for simon says. okay. for the ABC game, i could see that neptune really tried hard. they were very united. neptune had tuck hing, a senior, a person was had more experience. anyway, i think that neptune showed the best performance even though they didn't win. they are really good. i feel that the icebreakers didn't really break the ice. it was only till the amazing race whereby every group really opened up to each other.
amazing race
okay. i was a station master... at marina south... with natlee. okay. nat n i waited for the teams to arrive for like 3-4hours! omg. to past the time, we kinda went to two arcades in that area. we just couldn't spent all that time waiting like stupid ducks at the busstop? furthermore, our station was like kinda the last station. nat lee spent like $10 at the arcades, i spent $8. wow. wo de xin hao tong. i can't bear to spend so much money at arcades. i can resist temptation unlike nathanael lee. haha. anyway, after all that long waiting, only three groups arrived. silence. at out station, the groups were to keep their kites up in the air for 5mins. then they had to go back to school as the time was up and it was getting late.
farewell
the farewell was a great job done. when i entered the pa room. it was like a totally extreme makeover done to it. it was extremely pretty. pretty enough for a pyjama party. yes. our theme for the farewell was starry and everyone had to wear pyjamas! haha. it was funny seeing everybody's pyjamas. the farewell pretty revolved only for those who knew the seniors and therefore, the new probation councillors were like sitting ducks, all bored and BORED. farewell ended early. did tons of cleaning up. ahh. and the farewell video was so silly. i feel embarrassed sia.
yiling
yiling kinda suffered from some kind of stomach pain during the night so all of us took turn to take care of her. and, it seems like i was the only one who had to apply and rub the medicated oil on her. so funny. joyeo, fion, constance n yiling slept in the red cross room. all of us, especially joyyeo, took care of yiling.
night duty
i did sentry duty with jingming. it was quite awkward. 45mins of mostly silence. i guess that we had nothing to really talk about. we just walked about. we were like shivering in cold and walking about. can you believe that i had to wake him up for sentry duty? i actually bothered to set my alarm. it was really funny to wake him up. i like kinda felt like his mother waking my son up. ahha.
breakfast
okay. my group, for treasure hunt, won cereal and had it as their breakfast. a box of cereal for 8 people was definitely not enough. so i had tau huay. it was GOOD. from clementi. beside me was caleb chng, and he was like explaining to me the qualities of a good and bad tau huay. it was hilarious.
movie time
the movie screened was helen the baby fox. it was a japanese show and it was so emotionally touching. i only teared. didn't really cry much and there was so much anti-climaxes during the movie, for example, shaun elijah tan snoring during the movie, and markho making bored comments and burps during the movie. people, watch the movie helen the baby fox on youtube.
lunch
lunch was meant for department bonding. i believe we pretty much bonded and i got to know my buddy suanfong, more. then there was jingming's buddy, nicholas. he's a japanese and he had a really cool surname. nicholas yashurai lwai. i think that's it. he was like a loner. a wanderer. i tried to talk to him. it seems that jingming n nicholas didn't have much conversation at all.
debrief
debrief was great. we then knew the results of the council's new restructuring. there's joysim at the top, followed by joyyeo n caleb chng as the vice chairs. below joyyeo is rophi and yanling, head of the class mentors department. and also nat as the head of the service department. and wilson as the puntuality head. under caleb chng is yiling as the head for the social department, gina and me as heads of the project department and jingming under the connect department. both me n gina are pretty excited to see who would be in our group.
i love council!! i really do. <3 (:

ipoh trip & chalet
okay. i'm like FINALLY back from all my adventures and i'm leaving again at the last week of november. this entry would be about my experiences on the ipoh trip and the chalet i went to.
ipoh trip
this trip is for the council main com and ncc sec3s. wilsonsum couldn't go so he was replaced with laura and i'm really glad she came. boy, wilson missed out tons.
dayone
both fion and i had redcross in the afternoon and then we went for dinner after. yuliang-sir and brandon-sir came along too. we talked nothing but gong, princess hours. me and brandon were like arguing about it. it's like he watches it for caijing and that ballerina girl while i watch it for xin and lu. how can people hate lu? though he's evil but he's just dead-drop gorgeous. on the way back to school, i bought an archie comic to read on the bus trip. the council gathered in the canteen first. joysim and gina started giving out cookies that they had baked the day before. wow. and they baked tons. thanks joysim and gina for the cookies. then, both ncc and council gathered at the foyer. filled in our white cards and had some sort of a briefing. during this time, i was like looking around. wow. the teachers who were going with us were mr ganesan, ms ng, mdm toh and miss lee chee peng. ALL MATHS TEACHERS. boarded the bus and headed to killiney road (little india). we didn't know little india well at all, so joysim became our tour guide for that period. little india didn't seem like singapore at all. it looked like india or malaysia. we were the ones who were outcast now. boarded another bus. it was a SUPER VIP bus. wows. it's name was lapan lapan (88). when we thought our bus was the best we've ever seen, up drove another bus. each chair had its own television! it's like an SIA bus. wow. okay, in the bus, it was a single double arrangement so fion sat on my right and yiling sat on my left. behind us sat zhihong, mahattair and jarold. in front of us sat gina, joysim and yanling.
during the bus trip, there was this period of time when everybody was sleeping and the bus ALMOST crashed into the car in front of it! every one was jerked forward, our belongings were like some sort trown forward. an ncc guy had one of his shoe flew all the way to my chair. anyway, our journey was 8 hours. had two stopoevers. one was a koi farm. the koi was gigantic! about 2m. it is said that if you manage to drop a coin onto the koi's body, you'll experience luck. anyway, the bus trip was relatively pleasant. a comfortable chair, blanket, aircon... oh. we also watched two shows on the bus. kungfu hustle and shaolin soccer. *yawns* oh! mr ganesan, caleb, jingming and natlee took another lapan lapan bus to get to ipoh. the bus that i was sitting in, had not enough chairs to accomodate all of us, therefore, they had to topang another bus.
reached the area where we were going to do our first activity limestone caving. there were some delay time, so we girls were like playing around. playing our childhood games while the guys siam with the donkey. had breakfast and then there was this cat which was like trying to eat our food. it's so cute!!! and now i know that both joysim and mr ganesan doesn't like cats. anyway, then we headed to the limestone cave. boy was it STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL. my vocabulary is quite limited so i don't really know how to express it. the cave just made me realise how GOD WAS SO MAGNIFICENT that his creations could result in such wonders. we then came to this wind tunnel, the moment you stepped into it, you could feel WIND. cool wind. we also came to this steep slope where we had to slide down. NO KICK. haha. then next was this small tunnel where we had to like squeeze through. NO KICK. the small tunnel led down to the water. we then flowed the water. it was the only way out. along the way, there were other people visiting the cave. the water flowing around us was cool and very shiok.
there were sometimes when we had to get on all fours and crawl. the cold water made us shiver and scream with enjoyment. the hilarious thing was that there were two ncc guys, kenneth and junwei, they brought their addidas jacket and they tried at all cost to keep it dry. and they accomplished it. then there was a time when we sat down, switched off all our torches and stayed in darkness for 5 mins. listened to the serenity and the flowing sound of the water. continued our journey. at the end of the journey, we were where we started off. mr ganesan then made them do pushups, situps and jumping jacks in the shallow water. haha. ncc is mad. how i wish that redcross could be like that too.
had lunch. and our next activity was white water river rafting. boy oh boy. that was the highlight of the day. we had to take a lorry and a van to our campsite and then walk to the starting area for river rafting. i sat in the van with joyyeo, yiling, fion, laura, rophi and ms ng. while the rest stood in the lorry. it was quite some journey. anyway, the campsite really amazed me. it's a wonder that they could have such good facilities like in the middle of nowhere. anyway, we put down our things and headed to the starting area for briefing. our briefing instructor was HILARIOUS. he had this fake australian accent. because he would start his sentence of with an aussie accent and end the last 5-8 words with his malaysian accent. funny. i think everyone was like trying to control their laughter. so, all the water rafting instructors were tough, muscular and friendly men. the boat i sat in had me, mahattair, yiling, fion, natlee and jingming. white water rafting was the FIRST for me. i was jolly excited!! when the boat set off, we encountered our first rapid, everybody screamed with laughter! we were enjoying ourselves.
then, my boat people looked back, we saw that already one boat had capsized. it was joyyeo's boat. their boat totally flipped. and the nearest boat was like trying to assist. it's really tough. but who cares, my boat was already onto it's 2nd rapid. *boom* we got stuck. our instructor told us to move to the back and start to bounce on the boat. me, jingming and nat started to burst out into laughter as we said that the action made it seem like humping and we'll become shag after that. haha. i'm glad that mahattair was on the same boat. he was like our translator. our communication between us and the instructor. after many rapids and after many times we got stuck and after many times we went under branches, there came the most serious rapid. at that rapid, i got thrown into the center and yiling got thrown out of the boat and into the water!! everybody in the boat panicked!! everybody went :"where's yiling?! where's yiling?!". and there came our muscular instructor to quickly pull her out of the water and into the boat. during this period, many other boats had MAN OVERBOARD too. everyone in my boat had practically fell into the center. even the instructor was thrown into the center even though he sat at the back. then there was this time when the rapid was quite vigorous that fion landed in the center and i grabbed mahattair's leg was support and i almost pulled his leg hair. oops. sorry. then more rapids and then meanders. meanders meant that our journey was ending. the white water rafting journey ended. we lugged the boat out of the water, up a hill and placed it down and we then climbed back into the lorry waiting to bring us back to the campsite.
then it was bath time, the girls had two toilets and there were only 9 girls! so we like had all the time in the world. then there was like 19 boys? and they also had two toilets, so they had to bathe fast. it was then dinner and then devotions. okay, before devotions, we girls were fighting with this miniature palm-sized hairy spider that was in our bunk! i used me slipper to try and whack it, but to no avail. then gina took my slipped and WHACKED IT HARD. it died. gruesome sight. the spider really made us girls scream and scream. during devotions, it was like really quiet as the ncc guys had slept. FINALLY. during the day, they had made TONS of noises and bangings that we girls found it TREMENDOUSLY irritating. devotions time was like some sort of WAR OF THE INSECTS. the insects were really bugging us. they came in all types of sizes, shapes, colours, species. it's like they made us scream and scream and scream. when one girl screamed, all the other screamed too. like dominoes.
after devotions, it was sleeping time. we girls cramped up tight and close with each other and we were afraid of the insects. actually, i'm not really afraid of insects. it's just that it was a FEAR FACTOR moment that made me panic. it kinda like set off the scared trigger and i became scared. kinda hard to turn it off. so the next time, i must knock some sense into those period of fear. oh damn.
daytwo
woke up early. brushed me teeth, washed my face. had breakfast and then, it was time for waterfall abseiling!!! we took the lorry to the waterfall area. i was so excited to see the leeches. i really miss the leeches from sabah. all that screaming. haha. anyway, the first 10 went up and i wasn't one of them so we all had to go to the base of the waterfall. boy was it freezing cold. all that water trashing down onto the rocks. making a plunge pool. anyway, it was really freezing cold but we still cheered for joysim and gina as they came down.
so time passed while waiting for my turn. fion, joyyeo and i got our gear and went up together. since both me and joyyeo were the experienced climbers from sabah, i took the front, she took the back. i kinda like make an easy route for fion to climb up. she just had to place her foot at where i placed mine. joyyeo supported fion from the back. i think fion almost felt like she was going to die at one point of the climbing up to the waterfall. her foot kinda slipped twice, so yeah. because i was in the front, i went down the waterfall first. followed by fion. from others opinions, they said that water really trashed down hard on them, but i didn't really feel it. i went down the waterfall, not afraid at all. went down cooly. reached the bottom of the waterfall and it was COLD down there. cheered for the teachers as they abseiled down the waterfall.
after everybody's turn, we headed back to the campsite. dried ourselves in the bright sun before lunch. during this time of like 2 hours, some ncc guys played cards, some slept and the council played cards too. whoohoo! i won the game of bluff! man. this game, bluff, can be like played for half and hour! we had lunch, packed our bags and went on board the lorry! the lorry was to take us to this town near the highway. there, we waited for a bus to take us to the hot springs!
next activity was the hot springs. we played around in the 20degrees celsius to 30degrees celsius hot spring. then proceeded to the 40degrees celsius to 60degrees celsius hot springs. boy was it HOT! really hot! you really had to let one body part by one body part to slowly sink into the water and get accustomed to it. then, there was this little area for people to boil eggs. that little pool was at 100degrees celsius, so one can definitely not soak in it. freakin' hot. we could only spend an hour there and then we had to leave for ipoh, the city area. it was another 1 1/2hr journey.
our hotel we stayed in was hotel excelsior. it was really the lousiest hotel and it wasn't also the best hotel. but i'm glad for the WONDERFUL beds. changed into our council tee before heading out for dinner. we gathered in the hotel lobby and took a photo. boy. do we look like the mafia. anyway, everyone had ipoh horfun for dinner except for mr ganesan and the malays. they went straight for parkson grand. our dinner was delicious. even the tou gay was good. anyway, ms ng led the way to parkson grand after dinner. everyone was so excited. both council and ncc. SHOPPING. my eyes just lit up. shopping within a time limit of 1hr 45mins? with 150rm to spent? what?! before the shopping at parkson grand, ms ng brought us to this biscuit shop. man. the ungrateful ncc guys only went in to buy stuff for themselves, such as gum and sweets. we council, both guys and girls, bought food for your family. you people should have seen mdm toh. she's the best. she spent RM$50.70. i spent RM$20.90. so then, it was parkson grand.
went shopping with yiling and fion. we were like rushing from shop, to shop, to shop, to shop. from level 2 to to level 3 to level 1 to level 2 to level 3 to level 2. what a great way to lose weight. yiling and i always looked for the same stuff. we had the same thinking. always looking and buying the same stuff. okay. the first thing on our agenda was to shop for presents. earrings for both sihui and allicia. a multi-multi-multi pen & handphone keychain for may & shuyi. fion bought TONS of stuff for her friends and others but not much for herself. wow. yiling and i bought the same pencil box! it's from bodyglove. it's in the shape of a surfboard. it's white. and it's cool. bought a quiksilver for my bro. he really likes it. bought a roxy wallet for myself. when it was time to gather back, went to see what joy and gina had bought. man. i really liked what they bought. GINA!!! she bought this really nice white skirt at a price of RM$22.50 and it's actually price was like RM$77 plus? about 70% discount? damn. gina also bought this shirt which said, PROUD TO BE PRETTY from the reject shop. joysim bought this two jean skirts. simple, common but pretty and nice. joyyeo bought this pack of AMAZING playing cards for her brother. the cards were in the shape of a surfboard and it's casing was this egg. it was so CUTE and really great. joy said that it was from this santa claus shop. then, both me and yiling screamed. we thought that shop only sold christmas decorations, so we didn't go in, but who knows, it was a great shop which sold stuff like sleek notebooks, and stuff which you could give away to your friends as great presents.
while yiling and i were agonizing over those stuff that we didn't get, we almost got knocked down by a car while crossing the road. whew. when we were back in the hotel, fion bathed first, then me, then yiling. then it was devotions time in the guys'room which were natlee, caleb and jingming's room. after devotions, gina told us to like confront each other, throw out our grudges, and talk to each other. you know, thrash it out. joysim made the first move. she went to talk to a girl, can't remember who. and they both cried. man. i started to feel that crying sensation. the whole room was filled with it. then jingming came over to me, he sorta told me why he hated me at first, i said my part too, we made up with each other, shook hands, and were friends. truly friends. at this period, i was already tearing. then yanling came over to talk to me, she told me what she hated, i said my part again, we both cried, gave each other hug to signify that everything was over. true friends. then, i went to talk to laura and rophi, we three thrashed it out, cried, and gave each other a hug. close friends. next, i went to joysim. at first, i really had alot of problems with her, i hated her, but after the thrash out thingy, we're really good friends. she's like my role model, i told her. joysim's strength and faith in God is really strong and good and firm. i have to learn from her. i have to do my devotions with God reguarly. joysim is one good role model. i guess i had been under too much peer pressure influence. we were both crying when talking to each other. gave each other a hug to make up. during this time, everyone was going to each other to like thrash it out. gina was talking to yiling, laura and rophi, joyyeo and joysim,.... i went to talk to fion. thrash things out too. the guys also thrashed things out. some were so serious, i won't mention who. that they went to me, yiling and fion's room to really thrash some serious stuff out. you people probably won't understand what happened that night. this THING happened from like 10pm to 2am. all our conflicts and troubles and grudges were totally gone. i really give thanks to God for letting this thing to happen and that now, we main com are a much better group of poeple. this EVENT, totally changed EVERYTHING. and we had ramly burgers, maggi mee to eat and just be merry and watch soccer!! this sobbing session was now over! time for food. all that crying really made everyone feel hungry. the match we watch was arsenal vs liverpool. haha. arsenal thrashed liverpool!
anyway, time for bed. everyone had slept at like 3am.
daythree
woke up at like 7am for breakfast. had an american breakfast. then went back into the hotel room to get our luggages. board the lapan lapan bus again. i didn't really care about sleep. i just wanted to hav fun for the rest of the 8hours of the bus journey. the first hr was spent watching windtalkers in which many people on the bus fell asleep including fion and yiling. i was BORED. war shows don't really appeal to me. then one of the ncc guys asked me to play taiti with them. i so ROCKED at taiti. i had plenty of good hands. even if i didn't, i still won. i think the ncc guys were like shocked at me some sort thrashing them. anyway, the bus was divided into 3 sections. the sleeping section, the bridge section and lastly, the taiti/heartattack/bluff and whatever section. i was in the third one. the guys whom i was playing taiti with was amar, eddy and shawn. haha. they were super funny. shawn tan just couldn't win. so the loser had to shuffle the cards, and i only needed to shuffle ONCE. i lost one round. the rest of the rounds i was either the first, or second. *whew*. anyway, it was lunch. had nasi lemak. the council and ncc were like buying stuff, chewing gum. then some were like worried whether would they get caught. they were like panicking. anyway, back onto the bus again. this time, i played taiti again with the ncc guys, but with hannkenn, eddy and amar. hannkenn was like self proclaming he was the KING OF TAITI. what a load of rubbish. he won the first two rounds. he was like so air-headed already. then, i won the next three rounds. hannkenn was shocked. haha. anyway, there came in gina and yiling who had woken up. then joined in the circle, and we played heartattack. gina always won! what a lucky girl. and eddy always lost. ahha. he had a slow reaction. so funny. eddy is hilarious. he's like the funniest loser. but what amazing sportsmanship he has. he always lost, but he NEVER complains, or scold vulgarities. gina left. then we played bluff. yiling won and then awhile later, it was down to me and eddy and hannkenn, i think. and whew, i won. so the losers were eddy and hannkenn.
then there was a break, stopped at the stop where had the LARGE koi. then, boarded the bus and continued the trip to singapore. we were very close to singapore already. the ncc guys started playing among themselves. boy did they make lots of noise. the bridge section was still going on. the ncc guys were playing this game where all of them had to take a card and put it on their forehead so that they couldn't see the card and that the other could see theirs. everyone had three chances to switch their card with the one in the deck if they felt that theirs was low. the one which had the lowest number had to do a dare. poor shawn tan. he always kena the most. ncc dares were outrageous. feeling bored, me, gina, yiling and fion started to play stupid games. first we played truth and dare. it was crazy. gina had to snip off some of kenneth's hair. sigh. kenneth was so persistent so gina had to cut junwei's hair. haha. one of my dares was to drink the water that zhihong was drinking and my lips must touch the bottle. zhihong was shocked but nice enough to let me drink from it. we got bored of that game and moved on to this game that required you to play scissors paper stone and stretch. my my. even though gina was short, but she can stretch. flexible sia. got bored of it after playin like 6 rounds? then moved on to this game which gina invented.you had to continue one action after another. quite stupid. but funny. whoo! we have reached the malaysia customs. after that, the causeway to singapore and
whoo! i love singapore! missed it so much. the bus brought us to school. everybody said their goodbyes and left but me, gina and the ncc guys. gina was taking a lift from my daddy. and the ncc guys, i really don't understand them. after a long and tiring trip, they immediately put their stuff in their ncc room, got a ball, and played soccer. -_-". seriously, were they tired? upon reaching home, i did my best to stay awake and yes i did. slept at 11pm.
the next very day was CHALET day.

ipoh trip
this trip is for the council main com and ncc sec3s. wilsonsum couldn't go so he was replaced with laura and i'm really glad she came. boy, wilson missed out tons.
dayone
both fion and i had redcross in the afternoon and then we went for dinner after. yuliang-sir and brandon-sir came along too. we talked nothing but gong, princess hours. me and brandon were like arguing about it. it's like he watches it for caijing and that ballerina girl while i watch it for xin and lu. how can people hate lu? though he's evil but he's just dead-drop gorgeous. on the way back to school, i bought an archie comic to read on the bus trip. the council gathered in the canteen first. joysim and gina started giving out cookies that they had baked the day before. wow. and they baked tons. thanks joysim and gina for the cookies. then, both ncc and council gathered at the foyer. filled in our white cards and had some sort of a briefing. during this time, i was like looking around. wow. the teachers who were going with us were mr ganesan, ms ng, mdm toh and miss lee chee peng. ALL MATHS TEACHERS. boarded the bus and headed to killiney road (little india). we didn't know little india well at all, so joysim became our tour guide for that period. little india didn't seem like singapore at all. it looked like india or malaysia. we were the ones who were outcast now. boarded another bus. it was a SUPER VIP bus. wows. it's name was lapan lapan (88). when we thought our bus was the best we've ever seen, up drove another bus. each chair had its own television! it's like an SIA bus. wow. okay, in the bus, it was a single double arrangement so fion sat on my right and yiling sat on my left. behind us sat zhihong, mahattair and jarold. in front of us sat gina, joysim and yanling.
during the bus trip, there was this period of time when everybody was sleeping and the bus ALMOST crashed into the car in front of it! every one was jerked forward, our belongings were like some sort trown forward. an ncc guy had one of his shoe flew all the way to my chair. anyway, our journey was 8 hours. had two stopoevers. one was a koi farm. the koi was gigantic! about 2m. it is said that if you manage to drop a coin onto the koi's body, you'll experience luck. anyway, the bus trip was relatively pleasant. a comfortable chair, blanket, aircon... oh. we also watched two shows on the bus. kungfu hustle and shaolin soccer. *yawns* oh! mr ganesan, caleb, jingming and natlee took another lapan lapan bus to get to ipoh. the bus that i was sitting in, had not enough chairs to accomodate all of us, therefore, they had to topang another bus.
reached the area where we were going to do our first activity limestone caving. there were some delay time, so we girls were like playing around. playing our childhood games while the guys siam with the donkey. had breakfast and then there was this cat which was like trying to eat our food. it's so cute!!! and now i know that both joysim and mr ganesan doesn't like cats. anyway, then we headed to the limestone cave. boy was it STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL. my vocabulary is quite limited so i don't really know how to express it. the cave just made me realise how GOD WAS SO MAGNIFICENT that his creations could result in such wonders. we then came to this wind tunnel, the moment you stepped into it, you could feel WIND. cool wind. we also came to this steep slope where we had to slide down. NO KICK. haha. then next was this small tunnel where we had to like squeeze through. NO KICK. the small tunnel led down to the water. we then flowed the water. it was the only way out. along the way, there were other people visiting the cave. the water flowing around us was cool and very shiok.
there were sometimes when we had to get on all fours and crawl. the cold water made us shiver and scream with enjoyment. the hilarious thing was that there were two ncc guys, kenneth and junwei, they brought their addidas jacket and they tried at all cost to keep it dry. and they accomplished it. then there was a time when we sat down, switched off all our torches and stayed in darkness for 5 mins. listened to the serenity and the flowing sound of the water. continued our journey. at the end of the journey, we were where we started off. mr ganesan then made them do pushups, situps and jumping jacks in the shallow water. haha. ncc is mad. how i wish that redcross could be like that too.
had lunch. and our next activity was white water river rafting. boy oh boy. that was the highlight of the day. we had to take a lorry and a van to our campsite and then walk to the starting area for river rafting. i sat in the van with joyyeo, yiling, fion, laura, rophi and ms ng. while the rest stood in the lorry. it was quite some journey. anyway, the campsite really amazed me. it's a wonder that they could have such good facilities like in the middle of nowhere. anyway, we put down our things and headed to the starting area for briefing. our briefing instructor was HILARIOUS. he had this fake australian accent. because he would start his sentence of with an aussie accent and end the last 5-8 words with his malaysian accent. funny. i think everyone was like trying to control their laughter. so, all the water rafting instructors were tough, muscular and friendly men. the boat i sat in had me, mahattair, yiling, fion, natlee and jingming. white water rafting was the FIRST for me. i was jolly excited!! when the boat set off, we encountered our first rapid, everybody screamed with laughter! we were enjoying ourselves.
then, my boat people looked back, we saw that already one boat had capsized. it was joyyeo's boat. their boat totally flipped. and the nearest boat was like trying to assist. it's really tough. but who cares, my boat was already onto it's 2nd rapid. *boom* we got stuck. our instructor told us to move to the back and start to bounce on the boat. me, jingming and nat started to burst out into laughter as we said that the action made it seem like humping and we'll become shag after that. haha. i'm glad that mahattair was on the same boat. he was like our translator. our communication between us and the instructor. after many rapids and after many times we got stuck and after many times we went under branches, there came the most serious rapid. at that rapid, i got thrown into the center and yiling got thrown out of the boat and into the water!! everybody in the boat panicked!! everybody went :"where's yiling?! where's yiling?!". and there came our muscular instructor to quickly pull her out of the water and into the boat. during this period, many other boats had MAN OVERBOARD too. everyone in my boat had practically fell into the center. even the instructor was thrown into the center even though he sat at the back. then there was this time when the rapid was quite vigorous that fion landed in the center and i grabbed mahattair's leg was support and i almost pulled his leg hair. oops. sorry. then more rapids and then meanders. meanders meant that our journey was ending. the white water rafting journey ended. we lugged the boat out of the water, up a hill and placed it down and we then climbed back into the lorry waiting to bring us back to the campsite.
then it was bath time, the girls had two toilets and there were only 9 girls! so we like had all the time in the world. then there was like 19 boys? and they also had two toilets, so they had to bathe fast. it was then dinner and then devotions. okay, before devotions, we girls were fighting with this miniature palm-sized hairy spider that was in our bunk! i used me slipper to try and whack it, but to no avail. then gina took my slipped and WHACKED IT HARD. it died. gruesome sight. the spider really made us girls scream and scream. during devotions, it was like really quiet as the ncc guys had slept. FINALLY. during the day, they had made TONS of noises and bangings that we girls found it TREMENDOUSLY irritating. devotions time was like some sort of WAR OF THE INSECTS. the insects were really bugging us. they came in all types of sizes, shapes, colours, species. it's like they made us scream and scream and scream. when one girl screamed, all the other screamed too. like dominoes.
after devotions, it was sleeping time. we girls cramped up tight and close with each other and we were afraid of the insects. actually, i'm not really afraid of insects. it's just that it was a FEAR FACTOR moment that made me panic. it kinda like set off the scared trigger and i became scared. kinda hard to turn it off. so the next time, i must knock some sense into those period of fear. oh damn.
daytwo
woke up early. brushed me teeth, washed my face. had breakfast and then, it was time for waterfall abseiling!!! we took the lorry to the waterfall area. i was so excited to see the leeches. i really miss the leeches from sabah. all that screaming. haha. anyway, the first 10 went up and i wasn't one of them so we all had to go to the base of the waterfall. boy was it freezing cold. all that water trashing down onto the rocks. making a plunge pool. anyway, it was really freezing cold but we still cheered for joysim and gina as they came down.
so time passed while waiting for my turn. fion, joyyeo and i got our gear and went up together. since both me and joyyeo were the experienced climbers from sabah, i took the front, she took the back. i kinda like make an easy route for fion to climb up. she just had to place her foot at where i placed mine. joyyeo supported fion from the back. i think fion almost felt like she was going to die at one point of the climbing up to the waterfall. her foot kinda slipped twice, so yeah. because i was in the front, i went down the waterfall first. followed by fion. from others opinions, they said that water really trashed down hard on them, but i didn't really feel it. i went down the waterfall, not afraid at all. went down cooly. reached the bottom of the waterfall and it was COLD down there. cheered for the teachers as they abseiled down the waterfall.
after everybody's turn, we headed back to the campsite. dried ourselves in the bright sun before lunch. during this time of like 2 hours, some ncc guys played cards, some slept and the council played cards too. whoohoo! i won the game of bluff! man. this game, bluff, can be like played for half and hour! we had lunch, packed our bags and went on board the lorry! the lorry was to take us to this town near the highway. there, we waited for a bus to take us to the hot springs!
next activity was the hot springs. we played around in the 20degrees celsius to 30degrees celsius hot spring. then proceeded to the 40degrees celsius to 60degrees celsius hot springs. boy was it HOT! really hot! you really had to let one body part by one body part to slowly sink into the water and get accustomed to it. then, there was this little area for people to boil eggs. that little pool was at 100degrees celsius, so one can definitely not soak in it. freakin' hot. we could only spend an hour there and then we had to leave for ipoh, the city area. it was another 1 1/2hr journey.
our hotel we stayed in was hotel excelsior. it was really the lousiest hotel and it wasn't also the best hotel. but i'm glad for the WONDERFUL beds. changed into our council tee before heading out for dinner. we gathered in the hotel lobby and took a photo. boy. do we look like the mafia. anyway, everyone had ipoh horfun for dinner except for mr ganesan and the malays. they went straight for parkson grand. our dinner was delicious. even the tou gay was good. anyway, ms ng led the way to parkson grand after dinner. everyone was so excited. both council and ncc. SHOPPING. my eyes just lit up. shopping within a time limit of 1hr 45mins? with 150rm to spent? what?! before the shopping at parkson grand, ms ng brought us to this biscuit shop. man. the ungrateful ncc guys only went in to buy stuff for themselves, such as gum and sweets. we council, both guys and girls, bought food for your family. you people should have seen mdm toh. she's the best. she spent RM$50.70. i spent RM$20.90. so then, it was parkson grand.
went shopping with yiling and fion. we were like rushing from shop, to shop, to shop, to shop. from level 2 to to level 3 to level 1 to level 2 to level 3 to level 2. what a great way to lose weight. yiling and i always looked for the same stuff. we had the same thinking. always looking and buying the same stuff. okay. the first thing on our agenda was to shop for presents. earrings for both sihui and allicia. a multi-multi-multi pen & handphone keychain for may & shuyi. fion bought TONS of stuff for her friends and others but not much for herself. wow. yiling and i bought the same pencil box! it's from bodyglove. it's in the shape of a surfboard. it's white. and it's cool. bought a quiksilver for my bro. he really likes it. bought a roxy wallet for myself. when it was time to gather back, went to see what joy and gina had bought. man. i really liked what they bought. GINA!!! she bought this really nice white skirt at a price of RM$22.50 and it's actually price was like RM$77 plus? about 70% discount? damn. gina also bought this shirt which said, PROUD TO BE PRETTY from the reject shop. joysim bought this two jean skirts. simple, common but pretty and nice. joyyeo bought this pack of AMAZING playing cards for her brother. the cards were in the shape of a surfboard and it's casing was this egg. it was so CUTE and really great. joy said that it was from this santa claus shop. then, both me and yiling screamed. we thought that shop only sold christmas decorations, so we didn't go in, but who knows, it was a great shop which sold stuff like sleek notebooks, and stuff which you could give away to your friends as great presents.
while yiling and i were agonizing over those stuff that we didn't get, we almost got knocked down by a car while crossing the road. whew. when we were back in the hotel, fion bathed first, then me, then yiling. then it was devotions time in the guys'room which were natlee, caleb and jingming's room. after devotions, gina told us to like confront each other, throw out our grudges, and talk to each other. you know, thrash it out. joysim made the first move. she went to talk to a girl, can't remember who. and they both cried. man. i started to feel that crying sensation. the whole room was filled with it. then jingming came over to me, he sorta told me why he hated me at first, i said my part too, we made up with each other, shook hands, and were friends. truly friends. at this period, i was already tearing. then yanling came over to talk to me, she told me what she hated, i said my part again, we both cried, gave each other hug to signify that everything was over. true friends. then, i went to talk to laura and rophi, we three thrashed it out, cried, and gave each other a hug. close friends. next, i went to joysim. at first, i really had alot of problems with her, i hated her, but after the thrash out thingy, we're really good friends. she's like my role model, i told her. joysim's strength and faith in God is really strong and good and firm. i have to learn from her. i have to do my devotions with God reguarly. joysim is one good role model. i guess i had been under too much peer pressure influence. we were both crying when talking to each other. gave each other a hug to make up. during this time, everyone was going to each other to like thrash it out. gina was talking to yiling, laura and rophi, joyyeo and joysim,.... i went to talk to fion. thrash things out too. the guys also thrashed things out. some were so serious, i won't mention who. that they went to me, yiling and fion's room to really thrash some serious stuff out. you people probably won't understand what happened that night. this THING happened from like 10pm to 2am. all our conflicts and troubles and grudges were totally gone. i really give thanks to God for letting this thing to happen and that now, we main com are a much better group of poeple. this EVENT, totally changed EVERYTHING. and we had ramly burgers, maggi mee to eat and just be merry and watch soccer!! this sobbing session was now over! time for food. all that crying really made everyone feel hungry. the match we watch was arsenal vs liverpool. haha. arsenal thrashed liverpool!
anyway, time for bed. everyone had slept at like 3am.

cha-ching!
i'm RICH $$$ :)
anyway, here's a funny pic
next, i'm so going gaga over that new korean drama , princess hours. love it to bits! they really chose the correct actors for this show and they really have a good storyline to base on. it's some sort based on the modern society and a fairytale that practically every girl wants to have.
i don't really like that ballerina girl so her pic is like not up here. haha.

depress
:(
my grandfather passed away. around 5pm. i remember the times when he'll strike lottery and give treats to the whole family. he's the one who paid for my family's china trip. whenever when conversing with him, he would speak in chinese and i'll reply in hokkein. WOW. my chinese is lousier than hokkein. he's always cracking chinese jokes.
i remember when i was young, he would play with both my brother and me. he would play catching and hide-and-seek with us. those were the days. i was glad when he quitted smoking in i think year2000. i was elated when he accepted CHRIST in september2006. he's the best grandfather i've ever had.
when he still had his wife, my grandmother, he was all loving and doting on her. sigh. i now realised that i've lost both my grandparents and that my mummy has lost both her parents. my mummy's heart must be seriously devasted.
during this period in 2006, i think my grandfather knew that his health was deterioating fast, so he accepted christ. he also really appreciated every family gathering. the last one was at sembawang or serangoon, at bottle tree village. devastation. i didn't go. sobs.
when i received the news of my grandfather's death, iwas like don't bluff me la. apparently not. it was real. so, reality sank in. i was shocked. flabbegasted.
anyway, i'm glad he's accepted christ. :)

BLONDE JOKES
Q: Why don't blondes call 911 in an emergency?
A: They can't remember the number.
Q: Why don't blondes call 911 in an emergency?
A: She can't find the number 11 on the telephone buttons.
lightbulb joke
Q: How many DIY buffs does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, but it takes him two weekends and three trips to the hardware store.
Things to ponder
If athletes get athlete's foot, do astronauts get mistletoe?
If Barbie's so popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?
If blind people wear dark glasses, why don't deaf people wear earmuffs?
Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
