Hey thr!
Tennis yst was great! Haha, aft missing a few balls and hitting 3 balls into the forest, I managed to hit the balls back, into the court. Haha, great achievement alright? Considering I skipping tennis for 6 mths.
Heh, forehand shots were th most successful I guess. Esp when u hear tht perfect sound when u whack the ball and see it rush to your opponent before bouncing on the ground. Satisfaction!
Met jiawen, yinmin and alvin thr too. Haha, it was gd catching up with them. Jiawen was esp great to talk to. Haha, always so spontaneous and friendly (: Guess we pbb share similar topics to chat abt too. Lol.
No tennis next sat ): But shall I go for tennis camp? Lazy but i'll surely improve cuz hiong trg.
Gotta work on my serves! & get rid of my lagtime upon seeing the ball actually land inbound aft I serve it.
Left for HCI aft showering and lunch and SP to meet zq and ash. The sihan exhibition was *tick-tock-tick-tock* *rolls eyes* *yawns* *faints*.
Went arnd orchard to shop w zq aft tht. Didnt rly get anything cuz i forgot to bring $$. Dumbo. Bt it was great chatting all the way!
On the way back to HarbourFront, saw some rly interesting Ikea ads on the mrt. No pics cuz it was too crowded. Bt next time maybe. Here are a few catchlines they used. Yes, CATCHlines:
1. "To the 10% of men in Sengkang who walk around naked in their bed rooms, pls think of your neighbours" - Used to advertise curtains.
2. "To the 10% of people in Sengkang who make l*ve for pleasure, pls be prepared" - Used to advertise baby cot.
Those were the main ones I managed to see and rmbr in the midst of the crowd. Bold and daring i say!
Went to Keppel Club to celebrate Chin Meng, Jac and Jaime's bdays. Haha, food was alright. Birthday cake was just WOW!

Holidays: A period of time in which one is suspended or free from duties, which in my case, is studying.
And yeah, we get so many zuowens. Wht's th point of doing whn we dun take it srsly and just chiong them out for th sake of meeting the deadline? I mean, one set of Paper 1 per week is woah.
Haha, & I'm beginning to notice tht i post more over the hols. Pbb cuz I'm more free in th sense tht i refuse to do hw, do proposals, type lists, email ppl. C'mon, it's the holidays! Wht happened to the big plans of savouring cheesecake weekly, swimming weekly, committing myself to tennis lessons (and not deprive Coach of his income), watching cable tv day-in-day-out and so on?
Tmr, I shall pao1 kai1 zuowen and go for tennis, aft 6 mths of ponning due to sch commitments. And tht racquet shall see daylight and breathe fresh air (aft being stashed away in an obscure drawer in my wardrobe). C'mon baby, let's do it!
Yeah, I shall brush up on my tennis skills over th hols and return to sch with a sense of satisfaction (and to combat rumours by a certain idiot who insists I cant play tennis. Hve you seen your gramps in a bikini? Tht wld be how painful it is when I whack the balls in your face on the pretext of aiming wrongly.)
Tennis and swimming shall form my holiday routine! (=
& I need to sleep now. Let the money fall frm the sky and onto my lap! Yi ju liang de!

Hey thr!
Was browsing STOMP and came across this thread on 3x science vs. 2x science, 2x humanities. Was in this dilemma too, this year, while contemplating changing subject combis, albeit being too late now ): Anw, shall air my views here cuz I'm too lazy to sign up for STOMP acc.
3x Science
- Good if you still arent sure of wht u intend to major in in Uni cuz it keeps your options open.
- Good if you enjoy the supposed prestige tht comes with it. Glamorous or not, you decide.
- Good if you enjoy fiddling with formulae or hve a real strong interest in ALL 3 sciences.
2x Humanities
- Good if you can / love to argue your way through.
- Good if you are inqusitive of the human condition.
- Good if you believe that the humanities are abt thinking, and not pure memorisation.
I mean, all those of you who think otherwise, go jump of a tall building lah. SS, you need to argue your way through esp the ATQ part. Geog, esp Human Geog, you need to empathise with the situation and be able to argue your way to answer the question.
Purely stating points may get you thru for now, but in future, language plays a part too. Heard tht from a friend, who heard frm a friend, who heard frm a classmate, who heard frm some tchr. I think it's Ms Tan. Gosh, wht am I doing in class?
"Simple example: Japan has a declining birth rate cuz the ppl are too busy." Think you'd get the mark for a full point? Go die lah. Think agn. Straightly tht is. So wht if they are busy? Wht are th implications a busy schedule hve on child rearing / nurturing?
As for 3x science, it is not v easy in a sense tht u must be able to grasp concepts and master formulae, esp for physics. Or else you're dead. Moreover, you need to be able to cope with the amt of workload given tht thr are generally more assignments and lessons for the sciences.
For humanities, it wld be difficult if cnt seem to empathise cuz you wont be able to argue well if you dun feel for it or are unconvinced of th validity. And if you hate writing essays, dun do humanities cuz you'll be expected to write alot more than bio given tht most questions are abt 4 to 6 marks. & u need to argue. Memorising points will pbb get you halfway thru only.
As for me, I kinda regret taking 3x science. Nt to do w th tchr lah. Cuz maybe I'm nt rly the math person, like I hate calculations and graphs. So yeah, tht's pbb why. Besides, applying some formulae or law or concept may nt always work out for me given tht i spent half the time trying to figure out wht the qn wants and ravaging for any random formula tht may fit the bill. Haha, yeah, I am tht pathetic, esp for math and phy.
2x science 2x humans may be easier as I am way more interested in geog and elit for tht matter. Haha, maybe for JC lah. For nw, 1 more year of 3x science and I'm done. Jiayou!
For me, interest is key. U can hve no bckground / poor grades in say, geog. But if u are interested enough to read up and practise ATQ-ing or arguing each point, you would improve your skills and do well. Versus if you hate it and you get more sick of it upon seeing th thick notes and small font tht nvr seem to end. You'd pbb do poorly.
Disclaimer: The Geog example on Japan was not rly a strong point. Put it up for entertainment purposes and as a result of my random thoughts screaming to be posted here and showcased to the world. LOL.

In the wake (i mean, aftermath) of Hotmail's rare (i mean, frequent) screw ups, I shall forward all my impt emails to my new gmail account lest getting sabo-ed by Hotmail. Shall not entirely change to gmail cuz tht would mean loads of updating of contacts and contact lists in school which is hell.
Back from 3A '08 Class Chalet! 2D1N at costa sands resort (DE). Thx for booking, pearlyn! (:
Arrived late at JE cuz apparently i thought we were meeting at 11am instead of 9.30am (bt i rly did see 11am leh). Then youxiang, pearlyn, evelyn, ethel and veron hve bought the foodstuff le.
Had Pastamania at DE for lunch as we precariously left the bomb-costing foodstuff at the check-in counter cuz cnt check in yet. Honestly, I can nvr NVR finish a plate of pasta. Cuz i'll pbb get sian of the tomato taste halfway thru. -.-
Watched TV aft checking into the used-to-be-stinky-until-we-liberally-sprayed-deo-all-around chalet till like 5.30 i think - when more ppl joined us.
Took 2 trips down to DE just to chat, spend time tgt and buy fire starters. Stopped by for Madagascar 2 show for a while. Haha. Childhood memories. Ttly enjoyed the aimless yet chatty strolls. Cld have gone around DE if not for the rain. Too bad we were too far from the beach or else it'd be perfect.
Returned just in time for BBQ at night. Haha, I must say everyone rly did their part. Girls were preparing and skewing and poking the food for us to bbq. Guys set the fire and both guys and girls bbq-ed TOGETHER at times. Haha, set down and chatted as a group which was rly rly fun and interesting. Esp the jokes and suanings. Picture of the Day! Haha, oops. :x
Sorry for the spilt drinks. Yikes. Hope the slippers are wearable now. Haha.
Aft tht was wash-up and then movie marathon:
Totally enjoyed the class chalet! Though it was more like a clique chalet as veron mentioned, bt we still had fun nvrtheless eh? Hopefully someday, we'll achieve 80, if not 100%, attendance!
Looking forward to 2A '07 Chalet next mth! (: Let's have endless chats and movie marathons agn!
Shall end of with a pic we took last night during BBQ. Credits to yx. Shall upload more aft i have kop-ed from him. Haha. Thx alot for taking so many photos, yx and veron (though some were a result of cam-whore sessions. LOL.)! Rly appreciate it.
& I shall build up those shoulders! (no link to the photo)

Aft tht was wash-up and then movie marathon:
- Infections (A jap movie yx recommended. Haha, not bad lah, but the plot abit no logic at times?)
- The Messengers (Go watch it!)
- The Eye - Ang moh version (Haha, eye candy maybe? Bt plot is more or less same as the Asian version which was way scarier btw.).
Thx alot for renting the movies! Or else we'd srsly be bored to death. At least I will be.
Breakfast-ed at Macs before returning to chalet to nap for like 2hrs. Haha, checked out aft tht and abandoned all plans of going to wild wild wet. Try whitewater bay at Six Flags San Antonio, way more ci4 ji1! Shopped at bugis and had lunch with bryce, yx, veron and pearlyn before returning home to shui4 da4 jiao4!

Went on a 4D3N Cruise to Penang and Phuket with my family. Spent some quality time with them there! We sailed on board th gigantic Superstar Virgo (Which I know many of you have. Bt this is my first time :P)
16th to 19th Nov 2008. Here is what happened:
Day 1!
She's a virgin! :O Chu4 nv3. You wish. It means SS Virgo.
The elegant, magnificent, extravagant Grand Piazza (Lobby) Grand stairways and majestic statues to top it all up! Looks like a hotel lobby cum shopping mall if you ask me.
Carribean @ Keppel Bay! Beautiful luxurious condo. My dream home... Private marina lehh...
Great view of home from the pool deck! Haha, wont tell you which block lah duh. But, if you know me well enough, you will know.
The beautiful pool deck! Filled with activities for now as we depart sg.
Superstar Virgo!
With my brother, Marcus. Dun mind the hair, it was damn windy! Wanna see a messy hairstyle right? Here you go! Haha.
Stop comparing lah, I know he looks btr. Tyvm.
"You jump, I jump" "Oooh baby..." Think Titanic.
Parthenon Pool at night. I know this sounds gay but it is romantic at night. *hints*Day 2!
Parthenon Pool with its amazing (pirated) greek architectural pieces.
On our (family) way to penang on a small tender boat.
Typical shophouses in central penang. Yes, central. Bought loads of tau sar piah which is their local produce. Yummy! Tried some penang laksa and penang char kway teow at Gurney Plaza too. Slurps. Yes, if you havent realised, I succumb to gluttony. :D
With mum at the Grand Piazza.
Mum and dad! <3Day 3!
Superstar Virgo in anchorage off Phuket. Aint she beautiful?
Phuket
The ever-so-famous Patong Beach aka Hat Patong.
Few years aft the tsunami and looking gd!
Grab and glass of lemonade and rub on some sun screen! Time to get that hot tan, baby!
White sands, turquoise sea. Picture-perfect beach. Until I visit the Carribean Islands in a million gazillion years (when I actually earn enough $), this is pbb th nicest beach I've visited. Is that a headland and bay?
A tribute to the Tsunami victims. Every year, on 26th Dec, th ppl of Phuket come here to pray for the many who lost their lives to the freak wave. They release millions of paper lanterns (those you see in Thai Airways ads) as a tribute and to pray. Must have been a heartwarming and mesmerizing sight. This is at Hat Karon btw - one of beaches severely hit by the waves.
Remote Phuket. Arent you glad Singapore's so urbanised?
Elephant entertainment. Swings hoola hoop with trunk and at the same time uses it to blow a harmonica. Cool.
I see they're well-prepared. O.o
Beautiful tranquil scene. Perfect getaway. 
While waiting to watch Sports Unlimited at the Lido Theatre. It's a great show with loads of acrobatics, a little comedy, cool bball shots (and multi-person dunks) and amazing lighting effects! Go watch it if you're going on board. & yes, stop comparing lah! 
Mum and Dad at Cocktail Reception. Elegant.Day 4!
Morning shots on the Pool Deck! Dun think I dunno tht you're still comparing... Haha, jkjk.
Home sweet home! 7pm in SG, we anchored.Played this murderer mystery game too. Haha, quite boring lah. Watch videos and all that. Bt thing is, I won! Haha, who cares if it sounds lame, or if the gold medal is so thin; I outsmarted the adults! Cooleration. Haha.
Spent most of my time watching TV and savouring the great food on board ('cept tht disgusting pig stomach dish. You shld hve seen my disgusted expression. Yucks.). Spent loads of time snapping photos around the ship as well! The movies' quality is horrible. Seems pirated :O Waste of time if you ask me.
BALCONY CLASS, HERE I COME!

Ok, I know I rly shldnt be here now given the time.
Anw, just needed to rant.
Shooting comp was totally sucky. Seriously.
While the supid rifle was off by countless centimetres, I dun blame it. I srsly sucked. I could not estimate, I could not aim at the most probable spot (th body).
Damn, wht has come over me?! And just like tht the unit's score is going down. way down. Sorry guys, I really am.
I guess you're right: "We keep learning and hope tht tomorrow, we will nt make the same mistake agn. But sometimes, tomorrow dosent make a difference." I know wtv i say nw is useless so I dun rly blame you if you guys are pissed w me or anything. I accept.
Sleep is impt! Complacency is your enemy! I.hate.myself.period.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chatted w hasif on the mrt (aft he gt on and caught me unglam-ly sleeping, which is beside the point tyvm). Family before self was wht he practised, tht dawned upon me. While I wont reveal wht he did, I think it rly shames me.
Like wth, over th years, I was too obsessed with grades and impressions and all tht. It all boils down to one thing: face.
I didnt mind churning out reports and skipping family outings.
I didnt mind skipping family dinners for duties and bbqs w friends.
I didnt mind returning to sch and nt hving meals with my family.
I didnt mind doing all those proposals and nt helping my family w stuff they needed my help in.
I didnt mind getting that piece of work done and nt being respectful to them. (yes, i shouted at them at times)
Like wth, all these time, I hve been doing all that for recognition, for face, to make other ppl happy. Bt thru it all, I have sacrificed my family. They were th ones who stayed up late to help me w powerpoints and models in pri sch. They were the ones who stayed up till 6am to send me to usa at the airport. They were the ones who moved the stuff when we moved house (while I was doing sch stuff). The monster I've become.
I just hate myself for this. The sudden revelation rly caught me. Forget it, from now on, family first! Sch stuff and all that, you shall wait. I wont entirely forsake sch stuff, bt if there are family commitments, sry to say, I'll nt entertain you. Like it or not, I have made up my mind. I have gone wrong for 15 years, and I dont want it to carry on any further.
SORRY. For my bad attitude, my lack of prioritisation, my lack of respect, my selfishness.
I.hate.myself.period.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotmail, I hate you! Of all times to screw up, you had to do so now. Great, win liao lor. Now my COLLATED survey results are stuck w u and i cant access. Damn you, deadline's today leh! Here I come, Gmail!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's not make empty promises. You agreed but in the end you dun make it. Maybe I'm just a spoilt brat who expects everyone to give in to me.
Bt when u apologised profusely th other day, it didnt rly make sense to me as to why you were apologising. Bt nw, I realise wht u meant.
Bt i dun rly blame you either; it is a difficult period for you and I shld be supporting you eh?
Yeah i guess tht is wht i shld be doing instead of blaming you. Bt I rly need to talk. I rly do. I was hoping you'd talk tday. Bt i guess you got carried away. Bt it's ok, friendships are abt giving and taking I guess. Oh how simplistic. Bt I wont mind.
I rly hope you'll get over it soon.
I rly need to talk. I rly need to.
I rly dun want to bottle it all to myself.
I rly dun want to be disappointed agn.

Chatted w hasif on the mrt (aft he gt on and caught me unglam-ly sleeping, which is beside the point tyvm). Family before self was wht he practised, tht dawned upon me. While I wont reveal wht he did, I think it rly shames me.
Like wth, over th years, I was too obsessed with grades and impressions and all tht. It all boils down to one thing: face.
I didnt mind churning out reports and skipping family outings.
I didnt mind skipping family dinners for duties and bbqs w friends.
I didnt mind returning to sch and nt hving meals with my family.
I didnt mind doing all those proposals and nt helping my family w stuff they needed my help in.
I didnt mind getting that piece of work done and nt being respectful to them. (yes, i shouted at them at times)
Like wth, all these time, I hve been doing all that for recognition, for face, to make other ppl happy. Bt thru it all, I have sacrificed my family. They were th ones who stayed up late to help me w powerpoints and models in pri sch. They were the ones who stayed up till 6am to send me to usa at the airport. They were the ones who moved the stuff when we moved house (while I was doing sch stuff). The monster I've become.
I just hate myself for this. The sudden revelation rly caught me. Forget it, from now on, family first! Sch stuff and all that, you shall wait. I wont entirely forsake sch stuff, bt if there are family commitments, sry to say, I'll nt entertain you. Like it or not, I have made up my mind. I have gone wrong for 15 years, and I dont want it to carry on any further.
SORRY. For my bad attitude, my lack of prioritisation, my lack of respect, my selfishness.
I.hate.myself.period.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotmail, I hate you! Of all times to screw up, you had to do so now. Great, win liao lor. Now my COLLATED survey results are stuck w u and i cant access. Damn you, deadline's today leh! Here I come, Gmail!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's not make empty promises. You agreed but in the end you dun make it. Maybe I'm just a spoilt brat who expects everyone to give in to me.
Bt when u apologised profusely th other day, it didnt rly make sense to me as to why you were apologising. Bt nw, I realise wht u meant.
Bt i dun rly blame you either; it is a difficult period for you and I shld be supporting you eh?
Yeah i guess tht is wht i shld be doing instead of blaming you. Bt I rly need to talk. I rly do. I was hoping you'd talk tday. Bt i guess you got carried away. Bt it's ok, friendships are abt giving and taking I guess. Oh how simplistic. Bt I wont mind.
I rly hope you'll get over it soon.
I rly need to talk. I rly need to.
I rly dun want to bottle it all to myself.
I rly dun want to be disappointed agn.

Hey thr!
The past week was rather eventful I guess.. at least I rarely felt bored.
Monday was NCC live shoot!
Woots~! 10/10, Marksman! Heh, still rmbr Mr Tan go slap my back and butt cuz I accidentally pointed the rifle to the side walls while unloading the magazine. The shooting experience was rly great as we finally got to shoot with a real rifle after 3 years in NCC. Earplugs were nearly useless lah...so loud. Still rmbr Liqin's empty cartridges kept flying towards my lane.. scary! Was rather shocked to receive a full mark cuz ya, I dun rly do well in shooting. Bt thing is, let's concentrate on shooting comp nw! Jiayou RVNCC!
Tuesday & Wednesday was SC-PSL Combined Camp!
Great job organising comm! Though some games were not rly very fun, but the efforts put in by all of you were clear. Loved the fresh slew of games like wu1 gui1 wang2 ba1 dan4 too! Had pet talk w PA Y3s '08 on Tues night. While I must say it wasnt rly good (I was sick.), at least I know our trust in each other is still there! Cheer up all of you! (:
The telematch with PSLs were damn fun. Still rmbr tearing jesslyn grp's plastic bags to snatch their balloons. Haha. Captain ball was great and dodgeball rocked (cuz we won)! Haha jkjk. Way to go SWI! Must be willing to take the challenge and dare to suggest! Let's make this a success!
Aft tht went to watch Sally's performance as NYGHS with Yu Jie and Kim. Eeyer.. got off at wrong bus stop then ended up walking under the drizzle, one bus stop down. Missed Sally's I-am-a-nurse-in-RV-uniform performance. Saw Jun Yang there too. During intermission, met u with Sally in the RV uniform and chatted awhile (yes, you're welcome) while meeting Ms. HI! Lol. Left for supper aft tht at Newton Circus FC. Haha, sorry if I kept jabbing or suaning u junyang. Satay and OO were yummy! Chatted and joked alot of all 3 of them. IGNITE OUTING SOON! D & D, woah!
Thursday was staying home! Used comp and chatted loads on MSN ;) Attempted to comfort a broken soul too. Cheer up, arent things fine now? Told ya!
Friday was Coffee Bean with Zhen Qin!
Haha, rly enjoyed the coffee (like duh, coffee bean) and chatting w ya. 4.5 hours straight and we could talk abt anything under th sun! I bet if not for dinner time, we wld hve chatted till they closed also havent finish. Haha. Ultimate trust I guess? Rly wanna go for marathon chat sessions agn! Yeah, cheesecake hunts and zuowen sessions (yucks)! And yes, let's live the Kyoto dream! Would be great if 3 of us could get to go (: Chat w ya soon! Ttly enjoyed Coffee Bean-ing with ya!
Saturday was shopping at Vivo w family and ncc. Attendance nt so gd. Just wht do you ppl want? Profi test is next fri, gd luck.

Just something for you guys to laugh abt:
Let's not get discriminatory.
Thanks for that. They do not deserve that social stigma, though in your "books" (which credibility i seriously doubt), they are from "those kind of school".

This goes out to you, man!
An excerpt from "Hold On" by Jonas Brothers:
"One single smile a helping hand(hold on)
Its not that hard to be a friend(hold on)
So don’t give up stand 'til the end(hold on)
Theres more to life than just to live(hold on)
Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your heart
don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
When it falls apart
And your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
don’t forget to hold on, hold on"
Yes, hold on thr! I'll be here for ya if you need a listening ear or a sandbag to box on. It's a difficult phase but I'm certain things will be alright for u.

Hey thr!
Finally found time to blog about CampTeen (1st Nov to 4th Nov), aft so many days of bombardment with cursed hw (self-explanatory).
Man, it was seriously the most fun camp I've attended! Way btr than those that cost hundred + bucks (hints). Its purpose was mainly to advocate youths on racial harmony and get us to be ambassadors. Yeah, I know it sounds so i-have-no-life, bt simple SS will tell you it's vital. Moreover, the camp was uber fun!
Disclaimer: Photos will be uploaded tmr.
Day 1:
Met up with yujie at outram and MRT-ed to Braddell (after overshooting a station or two). Haha. Was in Grp 9, th Green group. Were assigned our sleeping quarters, which btw is (LISTEN UP!!) AIR-CONDITIONED! Totally opposite from my expectations of tents as in National Camp / OBS. Haha. Anw, after that we got tgt and came up with a rawking grp name: IGNITE, which has a rawking company flag and a rawking multi-lingual cheer to bring out the theme of racial harmony:
"Ignite Ignite we shine so bright
Ignite Ignite we're here to fight
Ignite Ignite we'll make you cry
5-6-7-8
BilaBilaSepaktedakala - 加油!
BilaBilaSepaktedakala - 再来！
BilaBilaSepaktedakala - Ignite!"
& by 12 noon, we started to bond rly well! Low elements course with Liza trying her best to cross the low wall wit everyone's support rly showed that. Next was high elements (though they claimed thr wld be none) which was so normal.
Followig that was showering time when we had to queue for close to 45mins to shower (along with another person -.-). After tht was Chinese dinner. Was rly surprised when Liza proclaimed her love for braised beancurd and when nasrul and company were asking questions to btr understand th chinese food culture! (: The rest of the night was spent figuring out Yu Jie and Sally's mind-boggling riddles. I am smart okay?!
Day 2:
Had a traumatising breakfast of fried bee hoon (Which i always hate no matter who's th cook). Aft tht was a visit to ACM to learn abt the various cultures in SG. Apparently, it was a gossip session too. Thanks lah. Next, zoomed off to Chinatown where we had an Amazing Race. The running and encouragement rly bonded us. && if nt for the race, I wouldnt hve known thr was a mosque in Chinatown, or of tht yummy pastry shop. Yes, I am THAT pathetic when it comes to Chinatown. Anw, we finished 6th and I must say we hve done our best, IGNITE!
Went bck to base camp @ Shines Outdoors where we did mass dance (it's not scandalous), Henna (which is still on my arm), Ketupat-making (Which I obvisouly failed to master as I cldnt fold it. I knew these hands arent meant for crafts.), Rounders (Eurasian game similar to baseball. Yujie, u feeling btr?) and Chinese Brush Painting.
Aft tht was Malay dinner! It was rly fun to eat with your fingers and th food was just yummy! ( Tho my finger nearly cramped cuz I was desperately trying to straighten it, only to find out it was unnecessary. Yes, shhh!! Kp it to yourself.)
Day 3:
The day started with Dragon-boating at Kallang Basin.
"Splish, splash, 1, 2, Row, Paddles Up, Argh, Owww..., Ahhh"
That practically sums up dragon-boating which rly bonded us esp during the race and the water fights. Haha. The endurance as a team rly pushed us out of our comfort zones as well as to create a sense of belonging to IGNITE. Woots~! Aft tht was a mini paper ball mosaic in preparation for the World Record to be attempted the next day. This is IGNITE's masterpiece. Hold your breaths:
Aft tht was indian dinner with uber fiesty and yummy curry! Slurps. Aft dinner, campfire kicked off! IGNITE performed a random act tht has to do we possession and Gatsby hair-messing advert (unsuspecting Coach Fit was the victim.. :P). Aft tht was mass dance and a super high party where we cld just dance the night away and go crazy! Sudden realisations... Took loads of photos with IGNITE and then headed off to shower. Chatted with yujie, kim and ying xiang on the uber-comfy swing. Haha, it was fun while it lasted.
Day 4:
Set off for OnePeople.sg HQ at Braddell. There, we embarked on our record-breaking activity: Largest paper ball mosaic. Tear, crush, smear, stick. Tear, crush, smear, stick... This went on for about 2 hrs or so. Cheers of elation filled the amphitheatre as the judge awarded us the record (for SG nia lah. bt still..). Think it was 4m + by 2m+. Tell me u watched the news n saw IGNITE... Next was project presentation and lunch. Lastly, we had our appraisal-writing session and gdbyes. And th Samiha-Haziq saga erupted:
Sally aka the vixen (just acting): Mmmm Haziq... Can I hold your hand?
Samiha: (Slaps Haziq's hand away) I held his hand on the first day!
LOL.
She even switched chairs and chucked Sally's chair aside whn they werent around just to sit beside him. We separated her from Haziq during photo-taking when she was clinging onto him, only to leave her sulking. Haha. It was all our pranks. Sry if you were offended.
Aravindas' face also lit up when yj and nic managed to get THAT GIRL'S number for him. Aww... & I dare say tht Krishnan and Aravindas make the best comedy pair!
Thanks alot for the experience guys! I rly enjoyed it. Wish we cld do it all over agn... The walls, the visit, the race, the competition, the partying, the mosaic, the pranks and more. Nvm, looking forward to D&D!
