level camp

YES, I AM BACK. ALIVE.
haha. jkjk.
I will probably be typing about level camp stuff during this post.
Hmmm.... Got a lot of stuff to write about so I will keep it short.

Day1
Went to school. Gathered at Indoor Sports Hall.
Got our camp booklets and headed to Chai Chee Sunlove.
Got our level camp tee. The words behind just looks like a mass of dots.
Helped an elderly auntie clean her room.
Her room was actually quite clean though small.
I cleaned it with Zhenyang, Gerald, Xuhua and Yingxuan.
Think that we did a pretty good job. :)
Xuhua accidentally crushed a dead cockroach and it went 'crunch'.
Felt a bit regretful when we took the drink from the auntie as it might have been expensive to them.
Afterwards, we performed the Lemon Tree for the old folks.
Think we did quite okay lahs. Though we screwed up abit. ><
Went to the jetty. Took a bumboat. Strong wind~
Arrived at Pulau Ubin.
Pitched tents for the guys' sleeping area.
Bathing time was horrendous. The queue was crazy.
I had to wash my hair in a basin then shower in the shower area in 1 min. :(
Ate dinner, usual stuff.
Then slept with 5 other people.
I woke up every one hour. -.-

Day 2
Woke up and brushed teeth.
My shoes were wet cuz it rained last night and my shoes were outside the tent. :(
Ate breakfast in the conference room. Woohoo~
The instructors kept on telling funny jokes while we were waiting. HAHA.
Went for expedition.
Did outdoor cooking.
Starting the fire was very hard. zzz.
Maggie noodles dont really taste nice after you eat too much either.
Hot dogs are okay though.
Then, it started raining.
HEAVILY.
We had to wear ponchos and trek everywhere.....
My cap got ultra wet. D:
I was very irritated. But it was abit fun at the same time.
We FINALLY got back to the camping site.
Bathed. Crazy queues too.....
Ate dinner.
Then, did camp preperation for the performance that our groups, 3 and 4, need to do during campfire.
After that, we went for the confidence nightwalk.
I walked with Nicole and it wasn't scary. -.-
Went to sleep finally. Had difficulty though.
The end of my sleeping bag was wet and I could not stretch out my legs. grr.

Day 3
Had good news.
We were gonna sleep in chalets that day.
According to our CLASS :D
Yippee.
We did high and low elements today.
Low elements were cool. It was fun.
Learnt a lot about teamwork here.
High elements was scary.
I went up there and my legs were practically shaking like hell.
I walked on a brigde which is a few wood planks held together by a string.
Was really petrifying.
I walked too fast and tripped.
Hit near my shin. Was damn painful.
I was really scared and thought that I was going to fall off.
I heard the instructor in charge shouting, "Eh! You better get up if not I need to go up there to rescue you!"
How great.
I stood up and finally finished it shakily.
I finally falled off and completed everything.
YAY. :D
We did the rafting then.
The raft was epic fail and it sunk.
But I think that our group showed teamwork here. :)
After that, we had our campfire.
We did our dance. Was very crammed.
Was very tired near the end of the campfire.
Went back to chalet and chatted with classmates before sleeping.

Day 4
That day was EPIC.
We were supposed to wake up and get ready and wait for our teacher at 7.30am.
Guess what?
We overslept and woke up at 7.30 on the dot when the instructor came in and woke us up.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Epic sia.
We rushed and everything.
Did not even brush our teeth. Gah.
Then.... after hearing 'stories', I found it funny that we woke up late.
1. Joelle woke up early. She brushed teeth, etc. She did not know what was the time so she just lazed around. Then I said that she had a watch. She said that it was only for show and that it had actually stopped already. -.-
2. Pamela actually heard the alarm clock. She stopped it and went back to sleep. -.-
I can only laugh about it. haha.
Took the boat back to Singapore.
Ate mac's with most of the kellyxians.
Finally....
HOME SWEET HOME.

camp

Hey ppl :)

By the way, Jingwen and Yuping gave me birthday presents :D thank you to u both! ^^
Jingwen gave me a drawing. Yuping gave a card with pictures :p

Today was okay.
Kinda slack. We practically did nothing for almost all the lessons except for geog. :P

Tomorrow's the level camp.....
Haiz.... 4 days away from Singapore.
Well, the campsite is in Pulau Ubin.
Quite far away and I think that theres no network there.
SAD.
I am kinda looking forward and yet not at the same time...
Especially after thinking of all the hardships that I will have to go through!
And 3 performances to do!
GAH.
But I am looking forward to the games and fun!
It has been like around 3 years since my last camp after all. :)
I have to bring like luggages around tmrw! D:
Well, good bye people and wish me luck!

TESTS HAVE FINALLY FINISHED!

I did my speech today. Today was actually kinda slack.
but......

Ms Kheng changed our seats.....

I am sitting with Valen.


How great.

Gahhhhhhh. D:
But actually he was quite okay today lahs.
Except for the fact that he keeps asking me for answers!
zzzz.....

Sitting with him for one term......
zzzzzzzz......

Anyway, my grades are okay. In fact great 8D
If my Chinese get A, then my GPA will be 3.8 if I am not wrong.
hehe. :P
By the way, heres a very shuai guy from the comic, "Reimei No Arcana" :D
Hes called Loki and hes a half-beast half-human.
He has some kind of symbol on the left side of his face which is cool :D

KFC

Plea from Yuan Wen:
SHE HAS FOUND A KITTEN OUTSIDE THE SCOUTS ROOM IN DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS ABOUT 7 WEEKS OLD AND IS BLACK WITH WHITE SPOTS. IT REALLY NEEDS A GOOD, WARM-LOVING HOME NOW. PLEASE CONTACT YUAN WEN IF YOU WISH TO ADOPT THE KITTEN AFTER GREAT CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU :)

Hey people :D
As you all know from the above message, Yuan Wen has found a kitten. I really want to adopt it actually but my parents do not allow it. If our parents are keen on letting you adopt a pet, please go to yuan wen. :)

About today, mainly speeches :D
Yohanes' speech was nice. Although he did not finish it on time. :)
Actually, all of the ppl's speeches were nice today. I hope mine is good enough too. ><

After school, I went to KFC with Nic g, Pam, Ben, Weirong and Xuhua.
I ordered Zinger meal with fries :P
While eating, we were laughing for weird matters.
There was this guy opposite us that kept on shooting pieces of ice towards us.
Nicole was extremely annoyed and just bursted out at him. HAHAHA.
Good one nic ;D
Ben had this stain on his mouth. We had to tell him to clean it off cuz he doesn't know.
Then it was Xuhua's turn to have a stain. He knows but still leaves it on.
While drinking our drinks, we discussed some err-hum stuff about Weirong.
HAHAHA. Weirong was like..... stuck!
Finally, we finished and took the Circle line home.
Met Maranda and Amanda on the way back.

Gonna do FPS now.
Gah. Only Grace and I are online.

Checklist:

- FPS (._.)


~the days are rushing by..... level camp.....

Mother's day

I forgot to say that after the movie, I met up with my parents and brother at Swensons. I think that I queued for about 40 mins. Very long! After that, I went to the icing room to deco my cake. :D
Below are some photos that I have forgotten to post on the previous one regarding my birthday:

^The flower that my brother gave me.

^My brother made this cake at icing room.

^Cake that I made. ^^

^Our cakes side by side. See the diff? XP

Anyway,
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Thank you to all the mothers who have worked hard and asked for nothing in return. Your love and faithfulness is definitely something that we have to learn from. You give and give, yet ask for nothing. Such a powerful motherly love can only be possessed by you, only you. I thank you for such many years for meticulous care. I will do the same for you in the future.
We did went to celebrate mother's day by eating a buffet at Lion Hotel's Cafe. The perannakan style buffet was delicious! Laksa, mee siam, nasi lemak, chicken wings, popiah..... I want to go there again!!! ^^

At the same day (^above), I went with my cousins and auntie to shop after that. We went to shop around Lion Hotel and I bought gifts for my mum. We also went to Parkway Parade after that. :D Then from there, they sent me to school for EDS Nite. :)

EDS Nite was FUN! :) The concert was really very very entertaining. :P Though the dances started to get boring one after the other. The drama's performances were funny!
Halfway through the year 3 dances I think, there was a silent part where no music was played. A baby started crying and a cellphone rang THREE times! People were laughing! I felt very annoyed. The baby obviously wasn't at fault. The cell phone should have been switched off! The audience also lacked proper etiquette! They shouldn't have laughed.
Overall, the performance was nice. We also took a lot of pictures! ^^

~lalalalala

30 April

Well, basically I am in the computer lab in school now and nobody's caring that everyone's slacking away playing on computers and here am I blogging away! :)

Erm, lemme talk about by birthday first! :D mwahahahahaha.
That day, when most of the people, actually only UG, were standing under the hot sun perspiring away, I was at home sleeping soundly. My birthday rocks lah! haha
Then, I woke up and erm, ate breakfast??? LOL. Then, I went to..... play computer! Well, I was only just facebooking actually.
Then, called people frantically and asked if they wanted to go see Ironman. I think that I wasted the most amount of money calling on that day. boohoo.
Then, FINALLY confirmed and I went to bathe and get ready.
Then did NYAA on mrt :D
Went to meet up with the others at plaza sing. They actually walked past me and I had to shout to them lor.
Then bought tickets. We changed the timing to 3.30pm because there weren't enough tickets for us. We had 11 people in total XD That was alot. :) We struggled to get the change right for the person at the counter. We were short of 30 dollars and were asking people to 'donate' when Valen took out a 50 dollar note. -.- should have taken that out earlier????
Afterwards, we went to the food court to eat lunch and slacked there for like 1hour. ^^
I beat zhenyang in toilet roll with a record of like 2.16 seconds i think :D :D :D happy~
Valen was like baffled and did not believe that 2 seconds can. I think that the paper kept tearing off when I pulled it because I used too much strength :P
Then Nic w came and Suting soon came too.
Went to Yamaha and like hung around there for quite a while.
I saw that the staff there were getting pissed at us. So I kinda 'herd' the other kellyxians out. Was having some kind of trouble with Pamela and Benedict because they were 'attracted' to the grand pianos and musical stuff.
Finally, it was time for us to go to the cinema :)
When the others were buying popcorn, Valen was calculating his money because the others were supposed to pay him. Then he was there fussing about the 6 dollars that was missing. Turns out the counter had some leftover just now and I had already returned thr 6 dollars to him before at the counter just now. grr -.-
The movie started. Pamela and Valen were snatching his phone before the movie started. -_-
Ben, who was sitting beside me, kept talking and commenting when the movie first started. -,-
Grace asked me what was happening halfway through the show. haha.
So people, here's the review:

IRON MAN 2

Storyline: Basically, Iron man comes back! Haha. After announcing to the world that he is Iron man, Tony Stark is being judged and decided on as to whether he should hand over his 'weapon' to the US government. Tony claims that the weapon is top secret and only he has it. No one would have it and even if they should, it would only happen 20 years later. Turns out someone does have it and intends to use for revenge against Tony Stark. And, Tony discovers that his continuous use of the "circular light thingy" is actually killing him slowly. Another woman (Scarlet Johannsan) enters Tony's life. She turns out to be a undercover 'agent' who works in the company of the guy with an eye patch and eventually helps Tony Stark.
Verdict: This is not an extremely nice movie, yet not an extremely lousy movie. The humour is nice. They should focus abit more on Tony finding a way to cure himself. Ms Potts should just break up with Tony. And they should replace Robert Downey Jr. with some other more handsome guy.
Rating: 3.5/5


~i miss it 

b'day

Yesterday was GREAT!
Well, today will be great too! ^^

I have to admit, although when we are like preparing for the birthdays and trying to appear like we forget, we think we seem kinda obvious. But seriously, YOU GUYS WERE LIKE REAL GOOD AT FAKING. Except for the last part maybe, when you all were screaming cake! cake! That kinda gave the game away. xP

Kellyxians bought the cake for me. Well, technically it was Grace. Haha, thanks! :D Bo Ning I think was kinda shocked and did not know how to react to the overwhelming response. >< The cake was seriously very nice! Not too chocolatey! And it was still kinda cold! Haha, Boning was torn between his ramen noodles and cake!!! Thank you for planning this!!!!! You all ROCK! :D (go facebook to see the pic)

Then, cuz we started the cake late, most of us were late. Leelaoshi was erm... angry??? SORRY TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE LATE BECAUSE OF THE CAKE CUTTING!!! Really sorry!!!! >< You all did it cuz of Boning and me but was late and got scolded! Sorry!

After lesson, Zhenyang and Felix gave me 2 voodoo dolls which help me in career/studies and love(???). Haha. Thanks to the both of you! Then Nicole, Grace, Joelle and a few other gals (cant rmb ur names, sry!) gave me a present. All the girls AND ben (extra!!!) also wrote messages for me! (why everyone says that Im slow? haha) Thanks!!!!! I din open the present until I got home :D The present is so COOL. I am gonna put more pics in the flipping thingy. ;) Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!

You all have made this day special for me!!! Once again, thanks a lot!!! :D
Later Im gonna meet up with some kellyxians to watch Iron Man 2!!! woohoo! Then gonna eat dinner with my parents maybe at Swensons. And gonna use the voucher which I got from Mingyu by buying his charity thingy! haha. :D

 
~the 14th bd'day is awesome

sick

Hello people.
Gah. Was sick for around 3 days. Got flu and cough and stuff. Went to see the doctor yesterday. Ate medicine. Am feeling so much better. At least I dont have a blocked nose now ^.^
On friday, I went to see a skin doctor to 'get treatment' for my acne and stuff. Received a few medicine, cream, lotion to put on my face. Takes really long to put all that layers of stuff on me. haha.
Tomorrow have maths common test. boohoo.... So sad. I missed science practical! :( Gwar!
Have to hand up geog on Thursday. Damn chiong.
Watched a few movies that I rented on Saturday and Sunday.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX

Storyline: I am pretty sure that I don't need to explain the storyline. If you do not know what happens, read Roald Dahl's book. XD

Verdict: Was actually pretty boring. The animations are also kinda.... fake? There was a very limited range of music and sounds too. Not exactly funny or nice or anything. Just a pretty good way to pass time if you ask me.

Rating: 2.5/5

NEW MOON

Storyline: Well, Edward leaves Bella due to the fact that Carlisle and the others are getting abit too young for their age. Bella is devastated and believes that Edward left because he does not love her. Bella goes into zombie-depression mode and emo-s for 3-4 months. She gets better when she starts to hang out with Jacob. And surprise! Jacob is a werewolf! Woof woof! Then Alice comes back because she misunderstood Bella's cliff diving plan as suicide. Edward thinks that Bella is dead and want to ask the Volturi to kill him too. Thus begins the journey where Bella races against time to save Edward.

Verdict: Well. it is not exactly a nice movie again. It wasn't any better than the first and they should really just stop shooting the continuation of this silly series which does not turn out good as a movie. At least let me have fond memories of it as a wonderful book. And I really hate the part where the camera just keeps spinning round and round, showing the months go by. Waste of time, seriously. AND. Bella should really just choose Jacob. He looks so much better than Edward with his shirt off.

Rating: 3/5

CHANGELING

Storyline: It was in the 1900s. Christine Collins arrives home from work only to find out that her son, Walter Collins, is missing. She gets help from the corrupted Los Angelos Police Department. 2 weeks later, they claim that they found her son. She cries tears of joy and hurries to pick up her son. However, the boy who claims that he is Walter Collins, is not her son. She finds more and more evidence supporting her stand. The police gets irritated as she is ruining the Police department's reputation. They put Christine in a asylum under code 12, where all the other women who have tried to stand up against the police are kept to be silenced. As she tries to find her son, more startling mysteries are uncovered.

Verdict: Love the movie! Angelina's potrayal as a mother is really convincing. Though her lips are abit.... weird and it does not fit in the image of a frail and desperate mother. They only work when she is acting as a sexy hot lady in an action packed movie I guess. The starting of the movie is a bit draggy as well. The whole movie took about 2h 30 min. If you don't mind sitting through the boring start, then you will be rewarded by the touching and amazing ending.

Rating: 4/5

Gonna go back to school tomorrow. Hopefully there isn't too many stuff to be done. ><

~drowsy due to medicine

science

Had some Cmps stuff yesterday at Pei Hwa Prestabryian (?) Pri Sch yesterday.
We ogranised booths with games and stuff.
The primary school kids were so cute!
One of them actually gt her game stopped halfway but she wanted to continue. She asked me if we were here until friday. But sadly no. D:
We also had NAPFA yesterday. I think that we improved :D

Today's science lesson was SO FUNNY!
Mdm rozana wanted to set some ground rules for the topic that shes gonna teach next: sexual reproduction.
everyone started laughing and stuff.
Mdm roz made many funny comments and that set us off.
Her version of sex education when she was young:
Once upon a time, (mdm) roz, a primary school kid, was feeling bored. She picked up an encyclopedia that belonged to her father. She started flipping and flipping. She fumbled around and played with the pages of the book. Suddenly, she came across something........ a picture of a........... NAKED MAN. She stared agape. There was a (picture of a) man in front of her. Naked. To make things worse, it was not a drawing but a picture. She stared, shocked. (mdm)Roz was bewildered. She could not believe her eyes. Wait. If there is a picture of a naked man....... then there must be a picture of a naked woman! She flipped the pages hurriedly and she found it. OMG! Wait again. If there is a picture of a man and a picture of a woman..... then there must be a picture of a man AND women! She scanned through the pages and voila! She really did find it. And that was how Mdm Roz went through her sex education.
Haha. The actual version is obviously NOT like that. The above is just a funnier one.
The way mdm roz talked about it was hilarious! Her big eyes were like popping out dramatically when she was narrating it too! HAHAHAH. XD

if you wanna say something, say it in front of me and dun talk behind my back.

CLEO by Helen Brown

Storyline: A woman who loses her eldest son is devastated. Her life seems to have no meaning. Just then, a tiny little black cat arrived. She is shocked for the cat was actually for her dead son. He had chosen the cat himself... before he died. Seeing her younger son smile for the first time after his brother's death, the women reluctantly takes in the cat, not knowing that the cat would help in the process of rebuilding her family and life.

Verdict: An okay book which is a good read. It is touching. As the author narrates out signficant incidents and heart-breaking moments, you would definitely be able to connect with her. The cat's death is also heart-rendering and I almost cried. I have a feeling that Yuan Wen will like this cat book!(x
