The Shrimp Boat

Monday, April 30, 2007

Sighh!!! I lost all inspiration to blog… I guess it’s my habit lah… always got loads to blog about but then… after a while of that notion, lost my enthusiasm.

Okay I really should make a list:

1) kayaking 1 star course!
2) Ballet non-syllabus classes
3) Friends/yr1 2005
4) Today in school

Okay I am watching goong on youtube(just the sad scene in episode 23… LISTENING to it rather ‘cos I’m typing this…)

Okay today just blog about ballet non-syllabus class. I am progressing. Last week, I really had no idea what to expect! Well I asked Sherry, a senior, for her number, and she told me about what we usually do in non-syllabus class. So today, barre was manageable for me! Could pick up quite fast =) I like stretching… but seriously the barre so crowded! And derrier quite difficult. Btw I hurt my back doing the arabesque in adage. I think I lean too backwards. I saw last week that Samantha leant frontwards… hmm I guess that’s the way… she’s REALLY good.

AND Sherry and the girl standing next to her(just finished grade 7 I think… Jeremy’s sister) today is really good too.

Oh but centrework… I’m a failure. My weak knee! Cannot do big jumps!!! I really really really have to train my muscles now… to strengthen my knee… =( And stretching wasn’t good. Didn’t manage to do bridge+developpe. Again, I have to say that Samantha is REALLY GOOD. Man that girl is amazing she’s only 14 and she can do perfect splits, niceeeeeeeeee developpes grande battements bridge/froglegs/lotus ETCETC. PRO.

Sometimes really feel like giving up ‘cos of my knee. Today twisted it and fell to the ground on my butt with big thump, and no one helped. I think it’s ‘cos Ms McCully expects them to dance on. Anyway it was so embarrassing for me. No one helped me T.T so I stood up and stood in finishing position. After that, the girls my grade(Annies Jeraldine Carolyn Hillary Sarafina etcetc) asked me if I was okay. Really nice girls. =) Thank you!!

Okay then stretching was so difficult. I’m very lousy =(

Okay today in school was quite a good day… but I will update tmr perhaps. I am in no mood to write such long posts now. But today was a good day.

-Chiachu and I + group of singing girls =D
-303 paint =D
-macdonaldssss
-helping to paint the imba butcher knife =D
-stupid xh spill paint
-jh spilt paint on floor ZZ
-apron
-bun!

Right. Basically, today I went to school for rehearsal. Soon, it was over =D And yeah went to see 303. They were at the piano area… and they were ordering macs. So I asked Jehon if I could order too. He told me, “If you don’t mind paying, then okay.” I’m not sure if it’s me being oversensitive or what, but actually what he said did affect me. Made me feel like I’m not part of them. Well I am not lah… but… I am their friends? Ain’t I? So maybe I was wishing he would ask me if I wanted lunch but he didn’t ask me lah. =( Sometimes I feel really quite left out. I mean, if it was in 202, I would have asked the other people if they wanted. I know I would have. =’(

Anyway so while waiting for Macs, me and Chiachu were playing the piano and err… flute? Respectively. And it was realllllllllllllly fun. Brenda came to sing with us =D Li an was watching from the side the whole time, Kristin too later on. Brenda can sing anything!! =D We could also play anything lah. =D It was realllllllllllly fun yeah!!! =D Times like these really lift my spirits and reduce my stress =D REALLY COOL.

Hmmm then I helped to paint the weapons for 303 play. Well Jehon and Xuanhao told me to go up to get paint from their classrooms earlier on… I kenna scolding by Mr. Security Guard. I also told him wrong classroom code, and he got the 302 keys -.- but anyway he got the right keys and I found the paint after much turmoil T.T and sweat. Then he asked me if it was my classroom, I was tempted to say yes but still said no lah then he said next time cannot like that lah. T.T Anyway got the paint =D Yeah then wore my apron to paint the thing… it was my kindergarten apron =D Then Jehon was like saying “that means you never grow at all since kindergarten” T.T Oh Jehon being MCP again don’t let me paint. Xuanhao also. But he let me paint the imba butcher knife a bit. Then he paint the handle part black but spill the paint over the silver paint. DUMB! =D He’s SUCH A SILLY BILLY. Jehon spilt silver paint on the floor :O Whoa they got thinner hahaha resourceful people lah.

After that, I went to the toilet to tie my hair into a bun which I personally think was nice. Then I went for ballet.

Kayaking:
-turbo
-kangwei, baoling, kokwei
-xh lh Nathan
-capsizes(kangwei is a meanie)
-capsize no.s
-xiaoming? Is that his name?
-catching the fish
-stupid xh playing with sand and psssss-ing at me while I was listening attentively to instructor, just to jokingly threaten to pour sand into my kayak
-cert =D

Day 1: no. of capsizes: me-6; lh-?; nathan->6; xh-COUNTLESS!

Alrighttttt my 1 star kayaking course. Definitely fun =D And enriching. First, we went there and locked our stuff in lockers and then went for some bit of theory. Our trainers were Kangwei(joker), Baoling and kokwei =D Oh plus this other guy… xiaoming issit… he was assisting in the training. Anyway so they introduced to us parts of the kayak… which we already learnt in OBS hahahaha. We were the youngest of the lot lah. But we knew more than most people ‘cos of OBS hahahaha. =D Anyway, I used the turbo and lifevest(buoyancy vest) that they showed/demonstrated, ‘cos turbo was small and livefest was also small, and I happened to be the smallest sized(well other than NATHAN hahahaha) person there lor. Some other teenage girls also got turbo haha. Nathan so poor thing, his B vest(small) could reach all the way to his ears. Mine too lah but not as bad =D Anyway kayaking was reallllllllly fun.

We all couldn’t kayak straight ‘cos the kayaks were so easy to turn. Hahaha but it was REALLY so fun and I got the hang of it after a while. Kangwei told us never to lean back in the kayak or we would be easily capsized. And He capsized whoever leant back. MEAN lah. So he capsized me once! Then I didn’t dare lean back! Then he capsized Xuanhao COUNTLESS TIMES. Xuanhao bedraggledly pulls his kayak to the shore and empty the water… and yay he’s back in the water. But not more than a minute later, Kangwei comes and capsize Xuanhao again! Hahahahaha ‘cos Xuanhao lazybones, keep leaning back. Hahahahaha. I failed my capsizing twice lor. Me and Nathan both failed 2 times then we got it on the 3rd time woots nice =) Then Lianhan came to capsize me that stupid fella. So first day: I capsized 6 times(including tests), Lianhan was least of us all, Nathan more than 6, and Xuanhao countless lah =D Because he lazybones.

Anyway once when we rafted up on the shore, Xuanhao was beside me. While I was trying hard to pay attttttention to the trainers, that Xuanhao was disturbing me! Duno what’s his problem lah lol. He kept digging some sand using his paddle and threatening to pour inside my kayak. I frown, he grin like Cheshire cat. Then I turned back to listen, then he pssst me, then he showed me yet another paddle of sand… with that sinister grin on his face… *shudders* then I frown then he grin again… my God. =[ I didn’t know he was so… LAME. -.-

Oh one thing about the first day that was kinda funny was that I was helping Xuanhao empty his kayak. Then… WE SAW A FISH! It was black and small!!! Then he told me to go catch it so I stealthily went towards the fish… and tried to catch it! But… it swam away…! I touched the tail though… and screamed! ‘Cos I can’t really take the scare when something so still suddenly moves so fast. And Xuanhao was like so xing4 zai1 le4 huo4… laugh at me T.T But it(the fish) wasn’t that far off… so I tried to catch it, this time from the front because I noticed the fish swam in front so if it swam in front this time, it would be just in my hands. So I stupidly put my palms just at the EYES of the fish -_- and it swam backwards -_-. Then I scream again… then Xuanhao laugh again T.T BUT THEN I tried to catch it again! And it swam away again of course -_- and it swam too deep for us to see… we tried to look for it again but couldn’t find it. I mistook a dead leaf for it… lol…

Okay 2nd was okay lah… I adjusted my foot rest, because on the 1st day my legs were really numb. But today also not any better. My legs could reach more front but then less easy to balance the kayak… =( Oh and we learnt T-rescue… quite difficult lor… =/ Oh and erm… learnt lots of other stuff. I feel that my J-draw and class draws are quite good. Trainers said so =D Oh and I adjusted my footrest in the middle of water =D NEARLY CAPSIZED =D hahahahahaha but did it anyway ;)

Had to leave early for my lastttt grade 5 lesson before my exam(after that I would be a senior!! =D) and so went off at about 3.30. Xuanhao kept my cert for me. Got it on following Tuesday… which was my exam day! HAAAAA WOOTS. =D I was really happy to get my cert hahaha =)

Okay let’s blog about my ballet exam. My first exam in a long time.

It was really good. The only mistakes I remember making was in the adage study… I lost balance on the first developpe =( And the other one was I stood at the right side of Natasha in “Hop heel hop toe and gallops” when usually I would be standing at the left side(I’m blue girl) so I forgot my arms for the first one. =/ Oh and my partner, Nicole, sprained her ankle =( But my dance wasn’t that bad lah… except that my right holubetz couldn’t click T_T but it was okay! The ending was great! My ending for “stamp and clap and gallops” was also great! OH and we did pirouettes alone. Quite okay! This examiner is reallllly a nice lady. She gave us tissues when she saw us perspiring so profusely JUST after the barre! =D Okay so let’s hope she reads this: Ms Graham you are a REALLY nice examiner and I’m glad to have been examined by you! ROCK ON! Hahahaha.

Yr1/2005
-never regret coming here
-good thing I blogged so frequently in previous years so I can rmb things vividly now

Welll… was looking through the 2005 orientation photos. Really brought back many wonderful memories. Yes… I never regretted coming to NUS High. AT ALL. This school rocks. Ever since day 1. I misssss 2005 and RJC and yr 1-5 and all the old but comfortingly familiar classrooms. I miss the art room too… I just miss everything about it. =’) I miss maths lessons… and MRL where we could play computer games! There was also a time, I remember, that all of us were crazy about runescape… now everyone thinks it’s noob! LOL! And yeahhhh I’m so glad I blogged so frequently, almost daily, in year 1. Now as I read those archives, every moment is so detailedly recorded down that it’s almost as if it’s happening again. And it’s so nice reminiscing. NUS HIGH I LOVE YOU! RJC I LOVE YOU! 2005 I LOVE YOU! YEAR ONE(2005) I LOVE YOU! YR 1-5 I LOVE YOU! M05102… I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Outward Bound Singapore 12-16 March

My watch: Cook! James Cook! =D

My buddy watch: Da Gama! =D NICE PEOPLE! =D

My mobile watch: 2 Bravo! Consists of : Armstrong(LOVE!) Battuta (LOVE!) Da Gama (LOVEEEEE!!) Cook! (HOHOHO =D)

First Day(Journal written on 2nd Day)

Day 1. 12/3/07 Sunny.

I sort of dreaded the day, especially w/ so many watchmates I didn't know. Things got better later on, even though I really have to admit that I was getting distracted(by friends from other watches). However, I still payed attention. During kayaking, dunking our heads in the water was a great challenge for me because I was wearing lenses. But all was well. I took care of myself well. God blessed me. :)

I payed attention in kayaking, but I still feel that capsizing is very scary. But I always hold onto the kayak when I capsize so everything is fine. Yiherng and Joyeh were me & Junwei's buddies. I felt that I had learnt a lot from Steve's demonstration, which was why Iw as able to tell YH&Joyeh what to do. However, after that I made a mistake myself. :P Anyway it was fun.

Tent pitching is fun too. From a mass of unrecognisable, messy clothe(sp err.), to a final product of a large spacious standing tent. :)

Next was cooking. I love cooking. Jinsiang was really good. He's so experienced and knows so much. He knows how much water to put & everything. Our rice was nice, just that we had not enough canned food. Tent-pitchers had not enough to eat... sorry... ='(

When I got my mess tin of food, I was w/out cutlery. Yixun lent me his fork & only had his spoon to use. Very thankful to him for that. I went to see our buddy group(Tracy's grp). They were struggling. I let them taste some of my food. They liked it. :)

Then, we realised that we had an extra pot of porridge which we hadn't disposed of yet because it was still hot. I brought it to our buddy group and let them taste. Huixin said it was really nice ^^ (I put the water & everything ^^). Jehon said it's not nice, it's just like theirs w/ water. Hai. Him and his MCP-ness. Damn amusing anyway. ^^ It just takes away my stress.

After that I saw Battuta(spelt correctly?) and their rice. Tionghian let me try... It was horrible... :( So I offered our extra porridge. Tionghian said it was bland... of course lah! Porridge only what! Later on xuanhao saw & asked," Is it nice?" I said "of course lah!" & he imitated my "of course lah" damn funny. Really lifted my moods. Then he tasted it & said "mmmmm........! SO NICE!: Iw as so happy when he said that.

And I'm glad to help other groups... though this camp is very group-based, I feel that we shouldn't neglect interdependence.

Anyway I feel that some of our group members are not taking initiative & just waiting for things to happen. Sometimes 看不过去 but hope they'll change these few days.

At night I bathed. I still love being clean. Miss my parents. Prayed & went to sleep. I'm not scared of anything because God is always there, through it all.

My wish for today(13/3/07) 1 month to xh birthday

-My friends(regardless of group) will taste my cooking and say "so nice!", and that if other groups encounter problems I can be there to help. (So far our group has no major probs).

-------End of 2nd-day morning journal-------

Really thank Steve for giving us time to record and write down what happened. I took soooo long writing it that everyone fell asleep waiting for me LOL. And after that during the warmup games, Shuiyi sprained her ankle. ='(

----------------

2nd day journal written on 3rd day in Camp 1 hall very nice place =)

13/3/07 - one month to xh's b'day.

Yesterday I woke up quite early because I was awaken rather early by Tionghian(Battuta)'s loud talking. Anyway, wash up was alright. We had breakfast and cleared up our store a bit. Then, we had some games. Shu Yi sprained her ankle. I find it quite 可惜 for her to lose her normal ability to walk just at the time when it was most critical... and she sprained it in merely a warm-up game. Anyway, I really don't think it's wise for her to join in any of the rigorous activities, lest her ankle gets dislocated again. I heard from my brother's sinseh that when you sprain for a first time, you must be careful, because if you sprain again before it has healed, the sprain will become 习惯性, which totally sucks.

Anyway morning reflection = good. I had always wanted to record down stuff.

Anyway, the 'highlight' of the day was trekking to campsite 1. Really bad I guess. My backpack was so heavy. The weight was lopsided & my shoulders were aching real bad. I had so many things to carry and the ground was so dirty & slippery, muddy as well. I slipped once I think.

Went there and one of the instructors kept talking to another instructor and I just stood there, shoulders aching like crazy. The whole journey I was just a walking corpse. It's too tiring and energy-consuming to think about anything. Being a walking corpse would be more energy-efficient. Nearly cried though. I was so lethargice but was forced to trudge on. Seems like a crime to me to 1) Let other members of the watch handle my load and adding to their burden. 2) Asking for a rest and slowing down the watch's pace.

So I forced myself to trudge on, but I really started to miss home. I really wanted to go home, take a nice clean shower and sleep in comfortable PJs & in my comfortable bed. So I nearly cried.

Finally we put down our stuff, but I was still in a foul mood. We made our way to the school together w/ DaGama. I was Jehon carrying a poncho. So I immediately ran up & pulled at his poncho, nearly cried. He asked me what happened & stuff. Anyway I'm quite proud of myself because many times I felt like crying, many times I kept my tears all in. I'm not gonna show that I'm a weakling, and I'm not 娇生惯养。

Yesterday's bad stuff

1) Twisted my knee

(But got better, not so serious)

2) ...

3) Still sick

What a "wonderful" combination.

Belaying is cool. I didn't get to climb but I like belaying. It's interesting-

--|--|--

At night was briefing. Sky full of stars. Could identify some because I'm taking an astronomy course.

Jehon's on starboardside. I want to help him in his triyak. Really really.

Sometimes I feel that I'm too dependent on other people. =/

--|--|--

Had a good dream. But it's so different from reality. I'm losing touch w/ some of my friends I tell you. This is horrible.

--|--|--

I'm getting quite tired of certain people always trying to make it known that they're unwell. I've got so many probs but I didn't ever complain. I just tolerated. I don't believe such 皮外伤can have any serious consequences that makes one unable to walk & stuff. Believe me this is not the first time I've seen that person trying to complain about his "problems". It's really so irritating okay. Why can't he just keep quiet about it. He's a guy you know, should be strong. Learn to belike other guys who don't complain and brave through everything for thes ake of protecting their group. MAN. Why can't he LEARN to be like these guys? He sleeps & only does stuff he thinks is interesting. Selfish. Man, people in this grp are so selfish. I saw a person take 10+++ Ovaltines powder packets for HIMSELF. He said 10 was for lunch, 10 for dinner etc. OMG. What about others? Why do they never think about OTHERS?

I sort of am losing faith in this watch. Just wish that they can learn to be like those brave guys from other watches.

--|--|--

WISH FOR TODAY:

-Be able to get long pants

-To kayak w/ Jehon

------Day 3 journal finished, that's my last journal---------

Day 3

We went for breakfast. After breakfast, ROCKCLIMBING =D FUN MAN. I tried sooo hard. Wanted to reach the top but couldn't because I had to leave some time for the rest of the watch to paste the papers.

Okay, we were in the hall(really nice with all the high elements thingies) with Da Gama. And we finished in faster time than them(paste our words at same height on wall) because we had less people. However, we pasted at a higher height. Anyway, Da Gama was really united. I guess we just had to improve on that(but at the end of the whole camp I didn't feel we did).

Anyway I reached the 2nd top square and couldn't go on anymore. Nothing for me to hold onto/climb, and I was so tired. But LOL I realised that my height phobia didn't kill me =D I looked down and I told myself I wasn't scared =D

------

SEA EXPEDITION. =D

Sorry Joyeh and Yiherng for my foul mood. :( I guess I just wasn't being mature. At first it was okay, we were singing "Row a boat" =D Then they didn't scream after the "Life is just a scream" LOL but they SANG leh can you believe it!

AND =D ohwells sorry yiherng and joyeh for our disagreements... =( But you guys rock k! =D So lame and funny =D

I scolded and lost my temper at joyeh for his paddle hitting mine(not uniform), and scolded yiherng and tried to dominate the directions and navigations 'cos of personal reasons. I was being sooo childish. Sorry guys ='( I didn't mean to offend you two. ='( Thanks for putting up with me, and thanks Yiherng for still being soooo nice to me after that. I'm sooo sorry =( I guess that when I'm met with difficulties there can really be a nasty side to me.

I nearly cried during sea ex, and after we went ashore I really cried. Sat on a log and cried. Rmb the bad thing "..." I mentioned in my 2nd journal entry? Well that's the reason. :(

Hien came up to me. She asked me if I was alright. (She's from Armstrong) I LOVE her man. =') Jessica and Feli came too... and the rest... I don't really know 'cos I didn't look up. Feli saw me crying during the sea ex anyway. I didn't drink any water, and the instructor told us to raft up and told me to drink water, he said something about us losing lots of water? Some from here *points to eye* and all that kinda stuff lah... sigh... how can I feel so terrible in something that's supposed to be fun? :(

Anyway I thought again, and cried again after that, stood by myself, and Xinran came and talked to me. I told her that I didn't feel so good during the sea ex... and blamed my triyak partners... so sorry guys I wasn't feeling good... I guess that's no excuse for me to blame you guys... anyway xinran also said that she could tell that joyeh(sorry for mentioning here) wasn't working as hard. But anyway joyeh I appreciate that you still helped lah. Xinran told me that next time she and I can kayak together, and we will be the fastest!!

Then she told me to go to where Da Gama was. Jehon knew I was crying too. They both helped me up the rocks. Jehon's very nice. Xinran too. Xinran made me a grass ring. And I made myself a grass bracelet. I cheered up. Tracy came to talk to me about "...". But after that I stoned there for a while before I decided to go help with the stuff transportation.

We then gathered in a circle and Samuel wanted us to speak our feelings. Firstly, the 4 sea ex leaders. Then we had to go one whole round. 4 boys said "I", "am", "feeling", "horny" respectively. LOL. Then Sheng was like "woooooooooOOOoooo" for the sea ex leaders' one. Then Waileng so poor thing... she said "corny" but people mistook her for "horny"... :( LOL

Then cooked while the rest pitched tents. Yixun and I cooked the instant noodles =D Yeah yixun rocks. Clarence just cooked canned food and started eating liao. So selfish! >=( Da Gama was beside us. They said they might need our help, we could cook together, but actually so obvious that they don't need help... and we're the ones who need help LOL. Da Gama is really a gooooood watch.

Was feeling so terrible throughout dinner. =( So uncomfortable. Homesick feeling grew stronger and stronger. I went to sit next to Jehon. He asked me what happened. Told him I wanted to go home(then I kept saying that for rest of the camp LOL). I really appreciate it that Jehon was there. All the time. So contactable. I thank God that he was in my buddy watch. Even though my watch wasn't that good, maybe it's God's test of my faith. I have to admit, when I met with all the difficulties, I didn't know how to depend on God.

But anyway, I sat next to Jehon. Thank God he was there. I was so tired I leant on him. Then, his watchmates had to go pitch tents! Then he had to go. He always volunteers to help. I wish we had this kind of people in our watch. But sadly, other than Junwei, I don't think we've got any. Eliza is, but she's girl mah lol... boys are supposed to be like Jehon/Junwei liddat... ahh... I geddit... NCC guys... NCC always produces better, stronger people. I didn't want Jehon to go, and pleaded with him, but he said he had to. "..." still bothering me.

I told xuanhao that I wanted to go home real badly. He didn't say anything. I was disappointed.

At night, Zhuoyi and I went to the open toilet... we brought 2 water bottles. Man I love that girl. She brought 2 water bottles =D And we made ourselves "clean" at the open toilet. Well... yi4 si4 yi4 si4 bah... no proper toilet. Thank God for Zhuoyi. That wonderful girl. We both wanted to go home... but she's much stronger than I expected. She's stronger than the boys! She was willing to help the tent packing/tent pitching/cooking and EVERYTHING man she is GREAT GREAT GREAT! And she'll always be there for you. She was always there for me when I needed help, if not I wouldn't have survived. THANK YOU ZHUOYI I LOVE YOU!!! =D

Next morn, I helped to keep one of the tents. Jinsiang couldn't roll it in. I tried to roll, then it got into the tent bag within a matter of seconds. =D Jinsiang(or was it Yiherng?) said I was good =D Haha that lifted my moods =D

Then we went to pick up litter =D With Da Gama pple. Huixin soooooo cute LOL man I love that girl too =D Xinran rocks too =D I love all those girls man =')

Anyway saw some people from our watch SLEEPING at the poncho area!! WHAT OBNOXIOUS! SLACKERS!! GRRRR.

Anyway then was...

LAND EXPEDITION

Cool. We went to outside the Bhuddist Temple, where Steve briefed us and told us about how he felt that we weren't doing well. Well... we sort of "kai1 qiao4" but in my opinion... still didn't perform so well leh...

Junwei's a really really really good leader =D At the beginning, I tried to boost everyone's morale by telling people to jiayou... but got rather tired myself in the end. Anyway, I was so slacky... carrying empty jerrycan and using the camping stick somemore... so slack =(

We missed our first checkpoint!! =O Steve failed our first one but we went to our 2nd one where we had 20 minutes to have lunch and find the 3rd one. We passed time limit =/ but we continued to search anyway =D (without our bags) and we found it FINALLY =D

Then realised I was stepping on ant trail. GOSH I HATE ANTS!! =X=X=X!!

Anyway, I told people to drink water from Jiawei and Zeyang's "campstick of bottles" so that their load would be lighter. Jiawei said "thanks". Lifted my moods =)

I guess land ex wasn't so bad. Timo and I were singing Maplestory songs =D Everyone was crazy about Maple. A HUGE GIANT SPIDER CLIMBED ONTO JUNWEI'S HAT AND NEARLY ONTO HIS FACE. I WAS FREAKED OUT. He brushed it away fortunately! And I tried to thrash it with camping stick... but Eliza told me to leave it. LOL. Then Timo was like "leave it Tingan, trixters don't drop anything useful" ROFL.

Then we were saying the land ex was a PQ, kerning/ludi/zakum... lol... then we were saying stuff like "yixun you're lvl 1 lah n00b" "hey you just lvled up well done(sarcasm)" and "i want a fly hack!!" when we were so tired that we couldn't walk anymore. We tried to find the checkpoint at the highest point of pulau ubin, but couldn't find it. Walked into spider webs everywhere. Walked behind Jiawei. My shield. =D Our dearrrrrrr water IC! =D

Couldn't find it =D So walked back to Camp 2. YES I LOVE CAMP 2! But! When we thought we had reached, THERE WAS WIRE FENCING! So we had to walk all around it! =x man we were so tired! Timo wanted to flyhack again... lol... but nah... we walked and walked... I was so excited about going back to go to the toilet that I walked on =D Spirits getting higher. I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN WE STEPPED INTO CAMP 2! =D

Immediately went to the toilet after gathering for a mass "YAMMMMSENG". Our yamseng was soooo lousy =P

YAY. Went toilet and cleaned myself up a bit then we went to build our raft! With Da Gama again! It was not bad... Clarence was leading us with his idea... and we all started tying except for some people who were really tired...

1 hour was up though, Steve was angry that we didn't finish it, and wanted us to dismantle it. Sigh... Actually I thought that we could tell him that we really wanted to build the raft and ride it, and also do the jetty jump... but I guess my watch all the people not enthu... and tired... so we didn't do. Pity. The rest of the watches in our mobile did. =(

Sigh... the regrets of my life! =/

Anyway at night, Jinsiang, Zhuoyi and I cooked! IT WAS SUCCESSFUL! LOL. Actually just the instant noodles. The rice chao tah and also some uncooked =D But the noodles were GOOD and the canned food was GOOD all in all dinner was GOOD =D YEAH! Hi5 to ZHUOYI and JINSIANG they ROCK =D

Offered my noodle to Jehon, who was preparing his watch's dinner. He liked it. I let him finish the whole mess tin. He was like "I'm gonna finish it very fast" and I still gave it to him. Seeing him eat so hungrily I grinned so widely like a Cheshire cat. Couldn't stop smiling. Jehon! My jhgg =D My dear dear brother =D Chen Zhi Hong =D

Okay anyway I helped Da Gama a bit with their tent pitching.

Then we went souvenir shopping =D

I bought a notebook and ordered some stuff.

Went back. Bathed. Went to collect mess tins to wash. Saw xuanhao. He was sick. =’( =’( Jensen injured his arm as well. =(

A fitful sleep.

Woke up early next morning. Stained.

Sat at the stairs. Sorry people! =( I slacked =( SO SORRY. But after that I went to change. Me and Zhuoyi went to wash the pots... then went to wash off the burn marks with sand =D Yeah! WE ROCK =D we managed to do it =D

Then the rest of the people washed the rest of the stuff... we finally put everything back in place. Me and Eliza store IC =D

Then final activity(for NUS High) was the puzzle thing. Before that, Lum(?) was dancing and singing LOL he was so funny... he started to dance to a rock and roll music, then after that sang fei yu qing's song i think... then he forgot lyrics and he replaced them with "blahblah forget already..." LOL LOL!

Puzzle thing

First, we didn't do so well. Second time, we cheated. We hid the puzzles and waited till we had all our pieces then we gave the puzzles out so we were the first to finish the puzzle. Cheat. =( I admit we're cheats. Joyeh was Day IC and he came up with the idea and Timo was so enthu about it LOL and anyway I don't think we really wanted first we just wanted to have fun bah...

Anyway 3rd time was all together, the leaders had this plan about us sitting in one whole circle, but turned out only a few of us helped. I was one of the few who was piecing the puzzles and when I finished I passed to xuanhao who was just behind me.

Wooh... 6 minutes 11 seconds I think... our target was 6 minutes though.

After that Zhexu led us in school cheer LOL =D

Then Jehon wanted 202 people to sing the Hubert song but we didn't hear him lol... I heard though... not the rest.

Anyway instructor asked us whether we had any questions," I said 'can we go home?' " SIGH.

Yeah. Went back to Singapore =D

Went Mac. Talked over meal.

Went home with xuanhao and jensen on cab. my bag fell apart. xuanhao helped me fix. then dad fetched me and xuanhao home.
