Schools ends at 12pm today because MAII tutorial was cancelled. After that went to driving centre to do my final theory practice and evaluation and i failed my evaluation. So sad! I'm going again tomorrow after I mug finish the whole book today. Haha. I don't know why. I feel that the questions are quite easy! But, just can't make it. Haha. I hope I can pass tomorrow and take my final theory test date and then take my TP date! I need to get my license faster than someone! Hee. After that went to Bukit Batok to do some stuff.
Then its back to school for talentime meeting. Reached school pretty early so I went to SB library to touch up on my Night Expedition Proposal! Grr. There are so many details that I need to submit, all the proof, document and everything! Its a tough job man! It's quite challenging cause its a new event introduced to the club. Hopefully I can do a good job and then this event will continue to stay with SB club. :)
After that Wen Qian, Ting Fang and Wei Cai came to my house in the evening to play mahjong! Haha. I must say I'm really down on luck. "Stupid Wei Cai came to my house and cheated my money plus dinner!" (He told me to blog this down) But, it was a fun game.
After that, prepare some stuff for school reopen. Hai. 4 weeks past so fast and school is starting tomorrow! I want more holidays!
After that went to meet Kah Hung then we go IMM walk walk (or rather it was sit sit) and then went to get Sandy a cake. We couldn't find any smaller cake. lol. Then went to meet Sandy and we had dinner at Marina Sqaure changing appetite. The food was not bad but we ordered too much potatoes! Haha. And lamo me, I had a stupid plan which was to bring her to Singapore River to romantic! But of course that was not the supposed plan. (I'm straight) Then Kah Hung appeared to surprised her with a lighted birthday cake! (Sandy!! Its Blackforest cake okie!? Not Choco! Hee.) Guess she was quite surprised, heh my plan was good. Lol. Then as usual, the birthday girl had to suffer some cake smashing! I admit, we wasted quite a lot of cake. :(
Happy Birthday Sandy!
After that we went to Eski Bar. It waass colldd. But the place was quite nice. :) Must be the kind of people I'm with that makes it nice. I only had quite a little and my face was super red. grr. But, I was still very sober! Haha. Hang out there and talk lotsa crap till around 2am. I really say a lot of rubbish and eww stuff that makes Sandy's hair stand! LOL. Then we to sit by the Singapore River and talk for awhile. I shared a cab with Kah Hung and he didn't send me home! =( Actually, I was the one who asked him to go home first cause the cab would by pass his house first before reaching mine. But he made the effort to call me and talk to me until i reach home. Nice Bud.
Artistic right? Courtesy from pat! :P
The camera die out on us when we came out from Eski Bar. Think it freezed
Glad that both the birthday girls enjoyed their time! =)
Went shopping with Jose and Wen Qian. Its the usual 3 of us going shopping everytime, wonder where the rest had gone to. Ting Fang have been disappearing for the past 1 or 2 months. She must have been busy pak tor-ing and working. Hope to meet the rest of the girls soon.
Later in the evening, Cassie came to join us. Its been a long time since I met her too. Since Meiying's birthday! (I still thought it was as long as National Day) Went to eat Mos and we kept talking about goong and of course, everything else. I realised I've very bad memory plus very slow reaction! Need to improve on that. After that, went to coffee bean to chill and we talk and talk again. Evil Cassie laughed at the girl at the next table. Tsk, her usual self. All the 3 of them said I'm cranky on the views of the location of Universities and Polytechnics in Singapore. Lol.
Jose is suddenly so into Energy! Suddenly! Cassie and I are so into Goong! Its so nice! I just finished watching the last episode this morning. Good and sweet ending. Shin is such a prince!
How I wish Cassie is still staying in Verde. That way, it would be much easier for all of us to meet up. But its okie! We have the out-to-date mode of communication! Haha. Hope to meet up with all of them more often! Its just great time out. Oh yes, Wen Qian's new phone's camera takes photo upside down! =p
But its still quite fun roaming around Genting with Eileen. She forced me to take the roller coaster, "corkscrew" it looks super scary and i didn't dare to take it initially. But well, she forced me. She said I should look after and accompany my younger cousin which left me speechless. Got up there. Blea. Scream all the way after the roller coaster zoomed downwards and make 2 semi turns. Even though, we had tried 2 full turns roller coaster in korea before, but this is still scary. Maybe we didn't know what was "scary" when we were younger. Haha. We tried almost all the rides in the theme park. We even got on the tea cup, flying jumbo, ferris wheel, carousel, antique car and even the monorail. Eileen said she wanna reminisce our childhood.
After that we went to sing Karaoke. Sang for 3 hours with 2 jugs of beers! I only drank half a cup of beer, or rather, I was sipping. Haha. They said I'm rearing goldfish in my cup. Eileen helped me finished up that cup. Thanks, girl.
It was quite an experience going Genting without my dad. I guess this is the first time I travelled outside Singapore with my Mum only. We need be more independent taking care of ourselves over there. Genting was an easy one cause of its small area with great infrastructure. Usually its my dad who plans and settle everything and we just follow. Haha. I still prefer going out as a family. =)
My friends said they wanted to go Genting this coming December. But I guess its not worth it going to Genting in December which is the peak period. We gotta queue a long time for the theme park rides and the hotel stay + coach ride would be more expensive than usual! So, I suggest we go Tioman for a snorkeling trip. =)
I was feeling super lousy at that point of time. Hmm, but I don't know who to turn to. Wei Quan? Wen Qian? Cassie? I just hope someone would be there when I'm feeling low or sad. Apparently, it doesn't seems the case. Thats why sometimes, I feel quite empty in life.
After our pedicure session, Sandy decided to call Kah Hung to play a trick on him. (I hope he is not reading this) Sandy told him that we planned to go out quite some time ago and we are waiting for him at Orchard. To our surprise, he was super onz despite the fact that he is on his way to meet his friend. He came down to Orchard to meet us! But all I can say that he is a big dumbo! Who would meet at the main entrance of Wisma? Hee. We walked around then decided to go to this Hong Kong styled restaurant at Cineleisure to have our dinner. The food was okok.
After that we went to Gelare to give Kah Hung a surprise "Birthday Party". After the singing of the birthday song and cutting of the cake, I decided to feed the birthday boy! I fed him with the knife and the first bite was yummy (i hope). Then the second one, splat, right on his left cheek! =) *grins* This is like the second time I'm celebrating his birthday this year. [Hey, best friend, touched?]
5th Sept 2006
I have to reach Changi Airport at 5.30am to catch my flight to Sarawak for GYL which means, I need to wake up at 4am! But, nonetheless, I was super excited about the trip! Haven't been on an oversea trip with the school since Sec 1. Dad and Mum drove me to the airport and we reached earlier than expected.
We reached Kuching International Airport at 9.15am and it actually took us another hour to reach Santubong Resort by coach. The resort room, 8106 was great and my room mates are Sandy and Shyanne! We have a king sized bed and a queen sized bed. The room was big and the toilet was nice. And of course we have great neighbours in 8105. Haha. First day we went to Sarawak Cultural Village. We saw the long houses and there is something with human skulls in Sarawak. They head hunt people to display their heroism in the past, thats eww. Also, when the Chief of the village dies 2 or 3 children will be squashed to death to accompany the Chief in heaven. That sounds scary. However, i feel that this tour was quite tiring, its like I got out of bed at 4am and i hardly catch any sleep and we have to walk around visiting how Sarawak was like in the past. Mentally tired on the first day, but enriching.

The second day we went for sea activities. We reach Permai Camp, about 10 minutes away from our resort for kayaking and raft building as well as outdoor cooking. We start of with kayaking and my kayak partner was Laurel. We coordinated pretty well and managed to kayak quite fast. After that, we went for lunch at a cafe in the nature reserve. Had buffet again and we made a whole lot of din there with all our games. After that we carried on with raft building. It was really a great experience building a raft for the first time, of course I was very excited about it. We did some knots and lashings to secure the barrels and the planks and i realised i need to bursh up on my campcraft skills. I seems to forget most of the knots and lashings. Our raft managed to go out to the sea and travelled quite a distance and we were so determined to win the other group that we caught up with them real fast in the water and lost to their when dismantling the raft. But whatever the result is, I have a great time in the sea.
After that we went on to go outdoor cooking. Its not the usually outdoor cooking we do with mess tins and maggi mee, we are cooking bamboo chicken in the forest! All the spices, chicken and water was added into the bamboo and cooked over the fire. We have to find edible leaves ourselves for covering the top of the bamboo and the leaves have to young with jagged edges, had a tough time finding it. The chicken tasted yummy and the gravy was also great, we made a cup out of the leaf to drink the soup. Its really an experience. =)
Next, we had dinner on the beach. What a romantic setting! haha. Before that, we played soccer on the beach. My first time playing soccer on the beach and it was a great match.
I think i'm getting a lil long winded here. But bear with me!
7th Sept 2006
Third day, we went to Bako National Park. The journey there was 1 hour bus ride plus a 20 minutes boat ride. It was low tide at that point of time and the boat have to stop near the beach and we have to walk on the muddy sand to the national park. During our trek up, we saw this dutch monkey which looks weird. It has a long nose and a super long straight tail. Its hair looks like as if it was wearing a vest. Interesting thing. We saw the mangrove and many trees and i got to know that there is this kind of root that will have water gushing out when chopped and its drinkable! The trail was slippery and steep and this is when we showed team spirit! We saw many plants and the guide explained a lot and i can't remember a lot. Hee.
After that journey back to resort for the preparation for Gala Night. Our group is presenting an edited song item with self made musical instrument. Its a fun experience and we had many funny occurences. Then, of course it was Gala Night but it turned out to be GaY-La Night! We had many photo taking sesssions there and its really a fun night. We were dancing crazily towards the end of this event. And yes, the best part about the last night of the camp is that, there is no curfew! We don have to be in our room by 11pm! So we invited everyone to my room to play game. We played "Guo Wang You Xi" and many cranky ideas came out! Everyone had a good laugh.
The three sisters!
Wonderful room mates! =)
8th Sept 2006
Aww.. The camp is ending. Its the last day in the camp. Nothing much happened, just that its raining and we can't get to the restaurant for our breakfast without our poncho and we were late for breakfast. After breakfast we had some group presentations and reflections. After that we took the coach to town to do some shopping and had our dinner. Then its back to Kuching International Airport. I feel kinda sad that the camp ended this fast, I'll really miss all the fun we had during the camp! We took lotsa photos again!
This is the best camp that I've ever been. Everyone is so bonded and yup, its just real fun!
Landed at Changi International Airport at 10.17pm. Dad, mum and my two brothers came to the airport to fetch me! Home sweet home!
[I will put up the photos when I get most of the pictures from the others =)]
Was charging my phone just now, and my phone rang with this weird looking number displaying on my phone. Thinking that it is just another wrong call from overseas. However, to my surprise its Wei Quan! :) Glad to hear that he is doing fine in Sabah. But he called me because his credit in his handphone is going to expire soon. So no heart. We talk from RM8 to RM0.18 and got cut off due to low credit. We were still saying that we might meet each other during river rafting when I'm in Sarawak. Hope to hear from him soon, that would be when his credit is going to expire again. Haha.
I'm driving on public road already! No more to and fro. :)
