hey hey hey, i'll be away from home once more~! also meaning i'll be away from my computer!!! thus no updates but may be able to reply to tags depending on situation at nus, heez. ;) i'll be off for Communications&New Media Camp from tomorrow 24/7 (Monday) til 27/7 (Wednesday), after which i'll be staying over at rag to help out until Thursday or Friday ba. yea man, camp!!! have fun!!! (so exciting, nah nah nah nah nahnahnah!) x3 Ciao~! :D

argh.. this is yet another late entry but i was again busy for the last few days and it was only now that i get to have some spare time to update again. it took place last thursday and i had to wake up early in the morning at 6am to dress up for the occasion. i was quite pissed at my top because it looked like i didn't iron it at all!!! oh man, no time to amend the damage anymore so i looked rather untidy but it was not my fault. i swear never ever to wear that shirt again, i have gotten another formal top to wear for teaching scholarship presentation ceremony liaoz. anyway, met up with pork to go together to civil service college at buona vista for the programme. we arrived on time and went straight into the auditorium after we've registered our name at the counter.

in the auditorium, we first have opening speech and then an ice-breaker which is scavenger hunt and cheer shouting. i was quite skeptical as it is hilarious to just think of a group of near adults or adults wearing formal wear with ties and heels to play games and cheer. but it turned out not as bad la, even though my group cheer sounded like a group of drunkards singing incoherantly. :P we had lots of talks by quite a few speakers. i had to admit i was pleasantly surprised as the whole thing did not turn out as boring or dry as i initially expected. although what some of the speakers talked about are stuff that i already know from my past half-year teaching experience, the way they appeal to their audience was interesting and captivating thus i wasn't bored to say the least. :)

there was this last speech by an experienced educator who will become the principal of the new northlight school that really touched me and left a very deep impression on me. her speech was very heart to heart and the way she talked about her past encounters was funny thus i really enjoyed myself during her talk. i felt like i gained a lot from what she said and after hearing what she said made me even more determined to become a teacher despite all the obstacles and difficulties. there was once when she talked about how she and her staff helped a rebellious guy turned over a new leaf by giving him a chance to go to school when others rejected his application. when i heard her recount, i was so touched that tears start brimming my eyes la! i hope that in my teaching career in the future, i will be able to make a difference in at least one student's life. i will be most happy and motivated if i can do so. i shall focus on my studies in university to gain the knowledge to pass on to my students so that they can benefit the most out of me during my lessons. that shall be the pushing factor behind my tedious mugging in university for 3-4 years. i shall also start preparing myself for life as a teacher in the future! i will become a chinese teacher in a few years time! i shall put in my utmost in my job because it is sacred.

teacher is a STAR, someone who is Special with Talents, Aspirations and Resilence!!! i love the star keychain!!! i will teach the kids, i will teach the kids, i will teach the kids...with love! (modified Ramica warrior cheer :P)

最近不知道为什么。。突然很想念我那过世已经快三年的阿公。。有可能是要升上大学了吧？因此感触良多，一直在想如果我的阿公还在人世的话，他一定会为我感到很骄傲的。。他一定会轻轻地抚摸我的头，对我说：“馨玉，读得很好，要继续用功读书。大学毕业后才能找到好工作，知道吗？”我一想到这里，眼泪就已经夺眶而出了。。我心里清楚知道人死不能复生。。但是我仍然不自觉地希望阿公能够突然出现在我面前。。称赞我。。鼓励我。。疼爱我。。保护我。。宠爱我。。我真的很希望。。因为我真的真的好想好想他啊。。我不断回想起以往所有美好的时光，更是泪如雨下。。我好恨自己。。好恨我当初没有珍惜和他的最后几面。。好恨我的姑姑和伯伯们剥削了让我多见阿公几面的机会。。都是他们的错。。他死了后。。阿嬷也不再认我这个孙女。。对我冷淡漠视。。我变成了没有祖父母的孙女。。这几天每当在街上看到小孩和他们的祖父或祖母在一起时，羡慕无比的心情就会油然而生。。为什么想要找个人疼会是那么的辛苦？我要阿公。。我要阿公。。阿公。。我好想你！！！:'(

haven been blogging for e past few days cos too many stuff been gg on and by e time i reach home i'll b lk so damn shagged tt i'll jus hit my bed and go to slp most of e time.. but today cannot procrastinate further if not all e activites will jus keep coming one after another den i'll have to do a blogging marathon which i seriously wont want to. also, there're lk so many issues on e news recently tt i've sth to say bout!!! haha. let's go slow and easy by startin out w e chinese camp i attended on tuesday w pork.

ok, firstly some facts about e camp itself. e camp is only one day from 10am til 5pm. e number of freshies tt attended e camp is nine. most or i think all e snrs(ten of them) there orientating us on tt day are malaysians. i've to say tt it is a totally diff thing frm wat i've experienced in arts camp and i believe tt we cannot compare e two as it'll b unfair to e chi camp organisers. e chi camp ppl do not have as much resources as those doing arts camp to tap on thus e small scale of their camp. despite everything, i enjoyed myself too at e camp! 1st and foremost, i get to speak chinese to everyone for e whole day throughout e whole camp!!! oh man, tt's lk so shiok!!! i miss speaking chinese to everyone around me for e whole day lk siao la!!! gg to e camp sure satisfy tis deepest and strongest desire to speak my mother tongue to ppl ard me, yea man! hahaha.

secondly, because of e fact tt e ratio of freshies to snrs is one is to one(i think), we e freshies were very much looked after. it felt very nice and sweet and heart to heart, unlike e craziness ar arts camp. i'm not trying to say tt e arts camp snrs dun care as much as e chi camp snrs, but its jus tt they dun hav tt much freshies to handle thus can really go out to us individually. it feels very much lk some sort of family outing/gathering, e feel of e camp is very warm and friendly.

thirdly, they really bring us on a tour around e whole nus campus and also into e libraries!!! wah liao, u will nvr get this in arts camp i mus say. e tour is a big bring back point frm e camp, i really learn e diff venues of nus fas and how to walk frm one place to another. i also learnt how to borrow books and find books in e library already!!! i'm really thankful for e tour, it was reali very helpful!!!

lastly, they even bought tea for us at e end after an already delicious lunch earlier on. it feels really very touching and i think i'll def b gg down for more chi club organised activities in future de. thx to all snrs who made it possible and also allowed tis camp to take place which gave me yet another totally refreshing experience altogether! :)

ok, such incidents have happened more than once before.. have happened to many other people other than myself.. but i still feel like complaining on my blog about it.. let some air out if not i'll burst like a balloon! argh..

sometimes when some people take e initiative to organise sth, there'll def b some ppl who doesnt reali help but will complain a lot bout e activities or programmes.. ok la.. i've to be fair. this type of scenarios seem to be happening only when we're in jc and beyond, not when we're at sec sch or pri sch.. at least not as obvious and blatant la. i mean, come on, if u dowan to tk up e responsibility to rara everyone to go, make sure activities are planned, eth goes on as smoothly as possible which are damn irritating and frustrating most of the times, have e basic courtesy to jus accept what is planned? ok, this sounds totalitarian. let's say even if u got disagreements, say it out but offer sound and solid alternatives instead of jus whining and complaining bout it la. despite witnessing such cases quite a few times, i still cant help myself but be pissed by such people lohz. they shld reali learn to be more considerate and start to think for others instead of jus my, myself and me.

booo.. end of my complain session, i'm jus talking crap. thx for being my audience. *bows deeply&smiles gratefully*

oh man.. it is really late liaoz.. shld b slp-ing but dun feel lk so blog liaoz den slp ba.. came back frm og dinner ytd night cos now past midnight is sunday liaoz. when i was on mrt alone back to yishun, there was this little girl really made me ponder just how spoilt kids these days are.. haiz... tsk tsk tsk... i was watching as the girl, of age ard 6yrs, was being rude to her mum, rowdy to her sister and behaving lk a psycho on e mrt w many eyes on her.

she was damn rude to her mother la, and i mean damn rude when i say damn rude. i was aghast when i saw what she can do or say to her mum in public place! she was trying to catch her mum's full attention which is impossible as there is another younger girl her sister too. the 2 girls were sitting at each side of the mother so the mother has to pay attention to both of them. the rude girl starts to get impatient and irritated at not having her mum's 100% attention. her mum could not take it anymore so threaten her to be good if not she'll jus slap her in front of everyone. normally any good kids will get e hint and behave rite? but it isnt e case for this gal! i was shocked when i hear her say beat la! i'm not scared! u want to beat den beat! wah kao, her facial expression hoh, realli feel lk giving her a tight slap one la. den wats more is tt she go and ka chiao her mum by pushing her arm to get her to really slap her! den she also pulled her mum's hair, took out her mum's wallet and took out a $50 note threatening to give it away to outsiders. wah liao, she is reali e limit la!

thus not long after, her mum gets fed up and walks away. as expected la, wah liao, so many ppl watching u know? all eyes on them cos e daughter purposely raised her voice to make sure everyone in e mrt hears her la! den when her mum walked away, she took out her anger on her younger sis by punching her and crying aloud and throwing tantrums lk nobody's business. in e end i think her dad stepped in and tried to quiet her down. as to whether he did i duno as i've alighted from e mrt liaoz. oh man, i was jus watching frm side in shock and amazement throughout lohz. OMG la!!! what're e kids nowadays like? i mean, they're so rude even to their parents, dun feel any shame when so many ppl is staring at u disapprovingly and can jus do things they feel lk doing at e time they want! wah kao, i realli take my hat off the parents of such child. i mean, wats w e parents of kids these days too?! wah liao, i duno wat to say la, jus damn sad la.. i mean.. can u imagine ur kid being lidat in e future? how're u gg to deal w it? n also.. i'm gg to b a tchr so i'll hav to face such students in e future?! someone save me quick!!! OMG OMG OMG.. i'm really at a lost of words.. saw this incident so just feel lk blogging it up.. i'm rudely shocked, are you?

oh man.. it has been sometime since i fall sick.. i think my frequency like once every half a yr? when i say sick, i mean real sick.. previous days i only have sore throat plus cough which is minor, doesnt affect me e least. but today.. oh man.. i hate falling sick.. wahhhh.. feels terrible.. sore throat.. cough.. blocked nose.. headache.. blurred vision.. seh-ness.. i want to get well soon!!! :( *sob sob* i want care and concern.. oh man.. me talking nonsense liaoz.. mind not in working mode.. blogged again.. lonely.. feel so lonely~ i'm mad.

what're friends? what're really good friends? i'm starting to wonder these few days.. i mean.. i also duno how to put it down in words.. but i feel real unsecure bout some friendships le.. in tis world, change is a constant.. sometimes i really duno if some friendships are as worth e effort as i'm putting in.. friends, esp good ones, should not be making you feel uncomfortable, pissed and unsure right? there should not be too much pressure in really good friendships right? haiz.. i really duno what i'm thinking le but i'm depressed and worried bout this question.. haiz.. nvm.. rag will boost my spirits up again thus i miss rag~!!! haiz.. friends forever...???

i have decided.. decided that i'll not have any hope of starting any r/s with him.. it has been so long.. giving it up will be difficult but i'll do it.. i wont confess because i believe it wont do either party good.. i know deep down in my heart he just isn't interested.. i'm just deceiving myself if i dont face up to it and give up.. i'll suffer more in e future if i dun learn to let go now.. i'll try and adjust my feelings for him.. it's hard but i think it'll be good for me in e long run.. i'll try and treat him just like any guy friend.. i know it is impossible cos he can never be just like any guy friend.. i'll still love him secretly... silently... but i wont have any hope of a r/s w him.. so to all out there who cares how i feel.. stop teasing me anymore bout him le ok...? i'll be happy if i dun get reminded of it.. let me be happy living and going through uni life.. thanks lots le...

haha.. i went back anderson sec on friday because that is the day i took a break from rag.. guess my next official visit wont be until after 12th august as i'm now totally doing rag from monday til friday, morning til night. i must say, i really didn't plan on seeing any of my students thus i did not announce my arrival but things don't go my way la.. i was spotted the moment i went up 2nd storey 1st by joel den by lucas of 1/5. haiz.. i promise i'll be back for visit, but you all must accept e new teachers 1st ma. it is only den that i can go and visit you all openly and talk together like in the past. i know it is hard to let go, it is also the same for me, but you all have to learn to let go. this is a lesson that you all must learn in life, nothing lasts forever, be glad and thankful that you at least get to experience and have the memory of it ya? e visit back was heart-warming as i see all the teachers once more.. it felt like i'm back to teach again.. but the fact is i am not and i wont be until at least 5yrs later. thus i must also learn to accept the fact that i cannot go back. i was firm to students who asked me to go back and teach once more because it will never happen, no point giving false hopes.

actually, i'm back in anderson for a reason, that is to tie up all e loose ends! once i get to this topic i'm like damn pissed again. know what? it has been more than a week since school started and there're still students who happily dun hand up work that they owe me before e june hols even started!!! feel lk swearing and cursing but i shall be civilised so shall control my temper, for now. so i went back to make a checklist of those who haven't hand up the homework so that the new teacher who took over can help me chase the work which i'll have to mark cos that is work i gave, only fair to do so. thus feel like cursing and swearing at the students who wont let me have a peace of mind to leave anderson once and for all to start my uni life! damn! argh.. students! evil creatures! ok la, i shall be fair here cos most of them are great but there's just this stupid bunch that really drives me MAD! shall stop talking bout them , waste my time and energy, they're not worth it.

i promise to be back. hope to see ya all soon. we can still stay in contact thru msn, sms or phone call. if anything crops up, i'm still available to help, BUT as a sch snr or mentor or ex-tchr and not as a teacher liaoz. be good ya? i'll be constantly updated of how you all are doing de, let me hear good news and be happy ok? i believe you all can do it de! jia you~! :)

 

hahaha.. yea man~! after 2 days of actual ragging, i hereby officially announce that i will be a ragger!!! i shall be raggerfied!!! hahaha, yea yea yea~~~ my 2 days as a ragger is definitely brimmed with activites and work plus laughter!!! i'm thankful to have 2 fellow raggers, nicholas and jessica, with me at rag~! i cannot imagine my ragger life without the 2 of them la, it will be like.. i dont know.. just have no idea but 1 thing's for sure, the laughter will definitely be reduced very much significantly!!!

shall go into details about what i've done at rag, hopefully it will not scare off anyone who is thinking of joining rag ba. but i believe that so long as you feel for it and want to be part of it, no matter what sai gang you are needed to do you will still do it willingly so here goes: 1st day as an official ragger, i went to do stuff for the tech side, seriously dont think i can be of any help at the dance side as (1) i cannot dance, (2) i cannot do good makeup, (3) i cannot design nice costumes. then at the tech side there is soft tech aka mei gong in huang cheng daoju and hard tech aka mu gong in huang cheng daoju. haha, in order to experience rag fully, i decided to be part of both and help out at whichever side whenever extra manpower is needed lohz. :P haha, i very greedy hoh? but cant help it as i long to be part of something that is similar to huang cheng once more. ;)

so on wednesday something happened! the 3 of us freshies accompany our rag seniors on an "excursion" out of nus to do work~! we were ferried to the place by my AOGL paul~! haha, he is not a very careful driver but i can only say that he is the best driver we uni students can get ba. :) hahaha, guess the place we went? some place where drink cans are collected after people dump them from everywhere in Singapore aka rubbish dump. the place that we went is not exactly a rubbish dump but it certainly smelt like one, lohz. haha, so there we went to collect cans which are needed as raw materials for our rag. all of us wore cloth gloves which is not good at all cos all the liquid is soaked up by the glove then end up all our fingers are soaked in the liquid which is a mixture of all the drinks in the cans!!! there are also a lot of bees and flies circulating all the cans which is quite freaky for the faint-hearted. somemore, we are not only there to collect cans any-o-how but need to sort them out as there're only some types of cans that we want. firstly we sort them out based on their colour like we need red so all the coca cola cans are targetted to be in our black rubbish bags. secondly, we must make sure that the cans are not in very squashed conditions meaning we must try and save the cans whenever possible. this means that we must try and make the cans look as round as beforeif it is slightly squashed, thus a lot of work! hahaha, i must say the smell and the sight is disgusting but time passes pretty quickly as all of us ku3 zhong1 zuo4 le4! but after everything there is a repercussion that all of us have to live with for a few more hours at least which is the smell on our hand that wont go away~!!! eeeeek!!! haha, but all in all, it was an experience you will never get elsewhere and something which you will remember for life de. :)

then on thursday, something happen again~! hahaha, guess what we're supposed to do? after taking all the dirty cans what must we do so that we can use them for the float of rag? wash! hahaha, yea man, washing dirty cans. this is another experience that i think i will not forget even if i have si1 yi4 zheng4 la. i really hate people who smoke, especially those who happily dump their cigarette butt into cans after drinking and smoking!!! oh man, i really feel like vomitting quite a few times while i was rinsing the cans la!!! eek eek eek!!! again, this is not something for the faint-hearted. sometimes there's also slimy stuff inside the can la, i dont want to think or guess what it is except just do my job and rinse it all! there were all in all 6 full bags of dirty cans that i rinsed la~!!! oh man, i can tell you, this is something that will really make you feel for rag and bond with the seniors who suffered with you in the toilet washing cans and smelling in the bad tobacco smell! *puke* i'm glad that i finish washing all cans without fainting. :P so after washing, it was late liaoz thus i went home. but before that i got 2 great seniors paul and jingyi accompanying me to MACs for dinner. :D despite everything, i think i'll still love rag. i shall become a hardcore ragger man~! bring it on!!!

oh man.. haha.. i think i've to start orientating myself to a very busy and meaningful and eventful university lifestyle le!!! haha, this is bcos i'll be joining NUS rag under FASS~! basically rag is something like huang cheng ye yun except that e end product for earlier is a float and that for later is a drama. i mean i'm really glad and feel real fortunate to be able to be part of something like huang cheng once more!!! i'm feeling so excited at just the thought of it! in fact yesterday went for the orientation and stayed overnight to help out at rag, haha. i can't wait to start work proper!!! i can't wait for rag day to come which i can imagine will feel just like huang cheng gong yan time.. i shall give in my fullest heart and soul and sweat and time to this huge project once more.. bcos i know deep in my heart that unless you give in all you have, you wont be able to achieve e great and marvellous sense of achievement and bonding! i feel for arts.. i feel for what i'm doing now.. even though it is not chinese medium, it touches my heart all e same.. i'm glad to have friends that RARA w me at rag too~!!! :) rag'06, here i come!!!

give me an A R T S *clap*clap*

HEY HEY HEY~(say say say~) finally get to have some time to blog about arts camp 2006, i can say it was the best camp i have ever attended in my whole life til now!!! before i go on very long about the arts camp, i must fulfil my promise so here goes: Carrie, my dear house i/c, this entry is for you~~~ hahaha. :P by the way, if there're any errors in my recount in terms of the order of appearance i sincerely apologise but i couldn't really remember clearly each day as it is too happening!!! ;)

1st day
me and pork met up together at sembawang mrt station to go to eusoff hall together as we're afraid that we'll lose our way do going together will be safer~ there's a safety in numbers neh~! ok lame, anyway, as i was saying about our trip to nus eusoff hall. we reached the bus stop opposite the central library of nus and was stranded as we had no idea where the heck eusoff hall is la. haha, in the end we asked for guidance from a lot of people(our OGLs and some other NUS people walking around) before finally managing to reach our place of destination in time. we were all gathered at the multi-purpose hall of the hostel for registration and to get ourselves into our different orientation groups. i was in the red house RAMICA and in the OG RELAKA!!! oh man, i really cannot put into words how fortunate i feel to be in the camp with the group of people i was in with! RAMICA rox!!! especially our house I/Cs chiobu CARRIE *winkz* & macho Chonghan, they're both so funny and cute and cool and they rock!!! :D RELAKA rox too~!!! despite the fact that our slogan is Relac la from our group name, we managed to make a name out of ourselves during the whole camp and was quite popular being the OG with the greatest OG spirit and morale~!!! woohooo~!!! damn high high high~~~ ok, we had icebreaker games, learning of cool and fun cheers first where we get to know each other and start to warm ourselves up for the 5D4N camp. after the games, the strap of my flip-flop came off so i walked barefooted from one place to another for lunch. but not for long as my super duper nice OG counsellors bought me a new pair FOC from cheers while i was eating. then after lunch i found out that i was so "lucky" that i dio some shit from some bird la! it dirtied my back thigh and white shorts la!!! wah kao lohz! after which was some talks that drove a lot of us to sleep as it is just after lunch ma.

then we had campus tour which is a series of games played throughout the campus where our OG was on a losing streak all the way until almost the end where we finally won 2 games but lost the very last one. even though we lost, we cheered on and played on with enthusiasm, enjoying ourselves to the fullest which led us to win the honour of being greatest spirit OG! haha, the game that i really enjoyed and had fun was the one where we had to dance to a stupid korean video with really dumb dance steps. in the end we just heck care about the video and designed our own even funnier dance moves where we just let our hair down and throw away all image as we danced like goondoos, it was damn funny la!!! haha, we had a secret weapon which is one of my OG mate(guy:Nicholas) who dance belly dance!!! oh man, it is real cool! and of course hilarious whereby all of us couldn't help but laugh whenever he does that.

then we had dinner after which we had a bazzar of all the different subjects under FASS where i was quite sian diao as there was no chinese department stall.. booo.. :( never mind as i in the end went and sit in a circle with the seniors and started playing some silly but fun games. ;) after which there was the game where we earn imaginary currency to buy materials and make our OG mascot which we will carry about for the rest of the camp. there were many stations where we played games like hai3 dai4 and also hei1 bai2 pei4, was reminded of Chopin and all the good old days of S73! there was this station where some us girls try our luck at black jack as the guys are on a losing streak in gambling, guess what happened? we kept winning and winning that we made the banker of that stall bankrupt!!! hahaha, damn damn damn funny and it was damn shiok! by the end of the day, we did not manage to complete our mascot in time so have to stay back until quite late to finish after which go bathe and sleep at 3 plus midnight. i was really shagged and it was only the 1st day!!! my room was quite scary as i sleep alone so resorted to blasting radio from handphone and drawing down all the blinds of windows in order to sleep in peace.. which i did, as per usual, heez. :P

2nd day
woke up feeling body sore all over and then had a not so good breakfast at the dining hall of eusoff hall, was almost late as i was very reluctant to climb out of bed but didn't in the end. after our breakfast, they day of activites started once more with the pool games that is at some swimming complex in the campus. thus our whole OG started to walk to our destination instead of waiting for the internal shuttle bus to arrive. while walking there, we started to learn a new cheer under our counsellor Yuen Mei and the very cheer-y OGL Jasmine~! ok, damn suay once again as i was happily walking and cheering when i suddenly slipped and fell lahz!!! it has been a long time since i last fell down so it hurts man, hurts a lot but i din allow myself to show it cos i was feeling so damn malu!!! jus got up as fast as poss and want to cont moving on asap but our caring and responsible counsellors dun allow me to do so until they had make sure i really have no serious injuries. really thankful for the care and concern they showered, it has been a long time since people cared for me instead of me for them, heez. felt quite awkward but sweet and warming to the heart at the same time. :) the fall wasn't without any injuries thou, my right hand dio minor contused wound and grazed wound then my left foot dio the same type of wounds but more severe only la. of cos was not life-threatening but -ouch!- it hurts la! when we reach the complex, the sun was real real real strong!!! had great games involving water where we just played, laughed and cheered!!! got myself all wet which i am thankful for as the sun was real hiong!

then came the next game which is called project shoot-it! we were supposed to go as a OG to places outside NUS campus to take pictures according to clues and guidelines given and also play some games along the way. it was real fun as we are supposed to pose some pictures with certain themes to it. haha, i posed for 3 fun ones where i acted as ah lian, auntie and indian(bollywood style mah). oh ya, there was also this game where the gals have to do a facial for the guys and i was one of those doing the facial on one of my OG mate, Zhimin, aka Mr.Popular among the gals. haha, i feel so sorry for him la, hopefully i din force too much of the cleansing stuff into his eyes/nose/mouth. :P after the game when we gathered back as one whole arts camp(Arts Camp oy!!!), we danced mambo!!! hahaha, real real real fun!!! even though i cannot dance, i think i'm somehow starting to like dancing liaoz. ;)

after the dancing and dinner, we had speed dating where we're forced to speak to guys from other houses for at least 5 minutes per person la! i was so shagged liaoz still have to think of things to talk about!!! ok la, at e end i talked to 12 guys and we exchanged numbers. haha, lk i'll really call them or they'll call me la! haha, but it was still ok la. no harm making new friends man~ ;) after which. it was night activities aka Night Venture!!! oh man, this was one real scary and freaky part of the whole camp la!!! we watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose while the counsellors start to despatch us to different ghostly stations in groups of 4. i must say i am glad i didn't freak out this time if not i'll want to change school liaoz!!! haha, but my station was still damn scary la. went with christin, linah and daniel (you rock man! cant imagine gg in w/o u, we'll die!) into a toilet!!! it was damn dark inside and when we 1st entered, all 4 of us were freaked out by a loud and horrifying scream that made all 4 of us huddle up close to one another! after which we have to look for things inside the toilet and deal with the occasional and random screams that is real freakish! haha, of cos, we gals will just scream and scream if not will die ah. most of the time i was just keeping my eyes tightly closed and praying hard that the whole thing will end very quickly la!!! i must say the counsellors really did a good job at the night venture but of cos i wont thank them for scaring the hell out of me la. haha, sorry la, but i cant bring myself to that. :P i was really scared that i have difficulty breathing for a long time after the thing ended, keep having a tight feeling on my chest.

after the thing, everyone started watching world cup tgt and i was shagged plus no interest in football so looked pork up w regards to our next day activity: MOE meet-up session for teaching award holders and teaching scholars.. damn sian diao lahz! we're like at a camp halfway and suddenly have to leave for such a thing?! nvm.. so we discussed and at night pork decided to bunk in with me as she was still freaked out by the movie screening which i am glad of of cos! we chatted quite a while bout e camp b4 we were overcome by sleepiness at 4am.

3rd day
both of us woke up to my alarm clock at 7am then we started packing for the day individually before going down for breakfast. the day will be spent at sentosa!!! bcos of e fact that some of us have to be tchrs in e future, thus hav to go for e session dressed in smart casual, we have to drag all our barangs barangs which is damn heavy and troublesome la!!! we also missed out the games in e morning lohz! argh.. nvm, at least going there allows some rest for my throat to recover from all e continuous cheering for e past few days.. even napped a bit which allows me to get some energy back for sentosa later!!! oh ya, saw my long lost primary school friend at e session!!! haha, i think e session is thus not wasted la. :P also got a call from xuefen, my fellow collegue back at anderson sec and it was real nice being able to hear frm e ppl at anderson bout sch and my students.. missing them like hell la.. haiz.. have to let go!!! i have to let go say i have to let go! *clap clap* i have to let go say i have to let go! *clap clap* cheering mode, heez. :P also saw jias!!! haha, missing her too~~~ haha, we played bingo during the session which was beta den jus sitting down and listening to ppl speak only lohz. ;) after e whole thing me, pork and my 2 other OG mates(Alicia&SeeHwei) went to toilet to change into sentosa wear~! wah.. so shiok la, felt much beta den wearing smart casual clothes lohz.
