Time really flies and i've stayed at popo's house for more than a month alr! (i don't really feel like moving back home now :X) on the overall, i felt that their humanities papers are more tough. Among the sciences, physics was the most difficult one for me. Maths seem fine. Languages im not sure haha.
Really had a eventful week since the end of O levels!!!
13-15 Nov: BINTAN TRIP!
it was my first time going for this Bintan CIP trip & i definitely won't regret going, esp with all my hao peng you! :D Felt abit seasick on the way there so most of us forced ourselves to sleep to prevent getting giddy. i love the mangrove trip on those small boats! its really amazing to get the chance to go near nature and learn more about them. they are always around us but when would we slow down our steps and really look and cherish them? seldom. anyways it was an eye-opener for me to see how those prop roots, pencil roots etc look like. its surely better than only pictures in our geog textbook :D
the mangrove planting made me feel so useful! at least we're doing our part to protect our Mother Nature and save the earth hahaha. its really quite an united effort because not only us were there, but also the locals who were rather enthusiastic about going green! :) the passing of those seedlings let us have the chance to exercise also haha :D
having lessons and games and fun with the children there really makes me treasure what i have more. the condition of their school, their classrooms, its really diff from ours. there are no fans and only have 2 lights in the class. they don't have those concrete parade square but just those sandy areas, so not to mention those air-conditioned rooms like computer labs etc that we have. though they don't have those facilities that we enjoy, but they really seem so satisfied with what they have. they play those olden days game like marbles during their breaks, unlike nowadays kids who always play computer/psp etc. the biggest problem we faced was communication barrier cause we cant speak their language so we relied quite alot on the translator. how we wished we were bilingual.
they're really full of energy and playing with them makes it so fun too hahaha :D though we only have such a short period of time with them, but we hope to make a difference in them and educate them the importance of conserving the mangroves on their island because there are still many locals who are not educated and would carry out shifting cultivation etc.
the food they prepared for us was quite okay so its not that bad. and the place we live in was quite okay too :D & we became rich there because of their currency hahaha. $ many of us bought those chips like siao cause they say its cheaper than in S'pore. anw qian said i kicked her at night hahaha. & throughout the days we played alot of murderer game lol *wink wink* oh and the trip back to S'pore was not giddy at all! cause ruyi, kris, beatrice, me and some others were laughing all the way for about an hour. one of the guide was being super lame and tried to trick us those jokes la. those big fish small fish etc, cross and no cross etc. hahahahahha. kris and i laughed till our throat pain and voice changed haha. :P
so overall, it has been a meaningful and enjoyable trip! YAY :D

17 Nov 08: GRAD NIGHT! :D
Prom at Park's hotel & its surely memorable and fun hahah :D did hair and makeup with qian, linda, steph at paragon :D everyone looks so diff & glam! it was just like a photo-taking session cause everyone is taking photos everytime hahaha. saw those potential clubbers because at the end was for people to dance and its really like clubbing. some teachers wore till very nice also! our table won the 2nd lucky draw prize! hahaha. we actually thought we won't get it. hehs. its 20 dollars popular voucher for each of us!:D after that we walked to cine, wanted to catch a midnight movie but realised we missed the time. wanted to kbox but not everyone was agreeable. so yeap we made our way to qian hse by foot. qian, linda, ruyi and i was so miserable can! those high heels made us feel like we're walking on our toes and it was so painful :( linda and qian just took them off and walked barefooted but ruyi and i were not willing cause very unglam. so the 2 of us were like each other's support, limping as we walked far behind from the others haha. its really 爱美不要命！:X
finally we cannot tahan anymore so we walked barefooted too :( took us quite some time to remove the makeup and undo the hair. with those styling gel, our hair was so hard it felt like wig! but luckily it was back to normal once we washed them :D then we had a heart-to-heart talk at qian's uncle house and talked for so many hours! then around 4am, we went out to look for Macs hahaha. the one at centrepoint wasn't 24h that day! :( so we had to walk to other places to look for other Macs. finally walked till near far east opp that open air Macs. then we realised we siao one, could have ordered delivery cause by the time we reached the Macs, its was about 5am alr. :X
most of us felt so sleepy! i just felt like closing my eyes and eating together. hahaha. some of us really wanted to just sleep at Macs there alr cause we dont feel like walking all the way back. then all of us went high and crazy tgt. started singing out loud and zi high :D we even walked in the middle of some roads like its ours hahaha. i even just grabbed onto wendy's arm and closed my eyes and walked lol :D took about 40mins to walk back and slept at about 6.40am. steph said i kicked her hahaha :X

18-20 Nov 08: I&E CAMP 08!
so in the morning linda, qian and i went to eat burger king at great world. met joey and then went to buy the gift we needed for the gift exchange. then joey went home while linda and i went popo hse. had to pack my things needed and linda's and my plan to put nail polish failed like dunno wad! hahaha. cause she kept doing and cleaning away and when joey smsed us to go down cause she can fetch us, she only did ONE finger (or was it toe? haha i forgot) then mine not finished so we cleaned away .-. lol
it was our 5th anniversary so they invited back the previous batch of seniors too:D but sadly ms tan was sick and couldn't join us in the celebration :( played captain's ball among ourselves and it was fun! but we later all had muscle aches cause very long never exercised like that alr. the 100s challenge at night was fun as i see the juniors putting in their efforts to complete the tasks. oh and they gave us a shock! some of us sec4s were sitting on those trolley to transport goods kind and it was used for the challenge too so there was a rope attached to it. then while we were talking, they suddenly all grabbed the rope and pulled us along! pearlyn even hopped on later on hahaha. it was so sudden we almost fell and had to hold onto each other super tight. hehehe. but it made us see the innovative side of them to prank us too haha.
slept in the hall cause aircon rooms were not allowed to be used during camps to save our electricity. lucky we did not see any cockroaches in there :D linda, jesselyn and i really needed our sleep then.
the next day was the ISLANDWIDE treasure hunt. linda, jesselyn, pearlyn and i made a team with yuqi, huizhen, brenda following us. the 2 seniors shared alot of things with us about JC and it made me have a better idea of what to expect next year. :D the clues were really very well done because they were all in poem forms and its so chim we cant understand how to guess the places to go. so we went to the south, west and north area. east area did not go cause there was not enough time alr. really explored quite abit of S'pore & it was definitely tiring.
then had BBQ for the night. the juniors performed for us and it made me think back of all the times i had in this cca these 4 years. there were tough and fun times of course, and it made me feel that i've really gained alot from this cca. those hard times were surely when i took over the role of CEO in sec 3. alot of planning for everything had to be done and should anything goes wrong, its my responsibility. i could really understand the stress that limin is facing. but dont worry, it allowed me to gain alot of experience too! :) the farewell gift was nice too! oh and we're in the I&E alumni! hehe xD then we carried out our traditions such as the burning of "bad" paper etc. =)) the sec 3s have really grown when we first saw them when they were sec 1s. now they have the better ability to organise things and make changes impromptu & be flexible with things :D claps for them!*
had the gift exchange on the last day and presentation of prizes. then its break camp alr! :D super tired already.
jiamin! angel & mortal :D

20-21 Nov 08: 4C2'08 class chalet!
had to rush back to popo hse cause i have not packed a single thing for class chalet haha. but firstly i took a nap when i reached home :D really needed to replenish my energy. then later on went to meet linda and jesselyn to go tgt to aloha loyang. arrived at about 4 plus and the 4 of us rented bike to cycle for an hour cause the rest of the pple were almost returning their bike when we arrived alr.
we found out that there was a stable! so we cycled there and took pics with the pony hahaha. there was one with the name "jessie"! :D quite good exercise since its been long since i cycled already! then later on went to the breakwaters there to take photos hahaha :D
had BBQ the night. later on swee, ruyi, kris, shiqi and i played the super exciting card game! made us super high and scream like dunno wad. hahahha. then there was this little girl who always came to us with her hands covering her ears saying we very noisy so her ears are painful :X went to stroll after dinner near the beach and played the "mm chi" and murderer game too hahaha.
stayed up the night with ruyi, jeannette, shiqi, eunice, wendy :D had an adventurous night. -.- esp the cat fight thing still freaks me out now!!!!!!!!! :( oh and we were locked out of the chalet so we helped jeannette to climb in the window to open the door for us. hahaha. failed to watch our sunrise cause we were trapped within the compounds of aloha loyang. :( then went to sleep at 7am this morning. woken up by linda at 9 plus and she threw her wallet at me. hahaha. felt so tired!!!
then checked out at 10 and went to take photos while waiting for the shuttle bus at 10.55am. had brunch at Macs again before heading home. linda, kris and i even alighted at eunos (i think) to meet swee to pass her the Macs lunch she was about to have. she kept asking us to go find her during her lunch break cause she very lonely to eat alone cause she is working during the holidays.
reached popo hse, showered and slept till evening :D and now here im blogging hahaha. okay shall go sleep soon and replenish my sleep for the past few days! :))
okay cya peeps! sorry for this super long winded post hahaha :D
