was the 1st member to arrive, met my OGLs..arun and marcus (this is erin's fren)..what a small world man..anyway..out grp had 10gals and 2 guys..when we all met, all silent, shy..hehe..but after some ice breakers, paint banner.. all was OK..1st game we ahd was Takeshi, "our faculty inauguration game, a challenging tradition like no other"..its a slope covered with canvas sheets and the seniors will pour eggs and soap water, after that we have to climb up..pretty tiring and i was trampled over, being stepped..but fun lah..a great sense of achievement when at the top..we also had caterpillar game, end with some bruises..hmm..wad else? eh..had to write a secret pal letter, sth like angel & mortal game..but i didn't really write much..we learnt our BRE dance too..quite fun, learnt how to spin too..haha..last activity was a skit performance..give a theme(50 1st dates), a line(i like gay porn), a prop(clothes hanger)..it was fun, i was the narrator, abit stage fright..hehe..almost every skit had a guy act as a girl/gay..jialut, due to our intake having a lack of guys...haha..but all was fun and good..after that was bedtime..

://DAy 2\\:
after bfast, had to reply our SP letter, he also didn't write much..set off to sentosa..stayed at a christian chalet..we played AMAZING RACE..at each station we have to conquer the task given, with the nxt clue..move on..7 stations in all..at each station we got to cheer for the station masters..

1) 100 seconds no NG(yi bai miao bu NG)--musical fountain
6 tasks, paired up..i had to tie my leg with 1 of the guys using toilet paper & walk down 3 steps without breaking it, then say "we went to the toilet, guys was locked and ladies was ?*i forgot*, so we peed in the open and got caught by the police"..we did this station twice cos we didn't complete by 100secs..

2) dragon's trail
had to search for stones in the water labelled with a number, in order to unscribble the code to unlock our treasure chest(a shoe box)..hehe..completed it pretty fast..
(was told that we cheered the best amongst other OGs)

3) exotic food--orchid garden
we were asked qns in pairs related to family, home or personal..we strategised such that we had fixed ans..did we cheat? hmm..hehe..anyway..we got all wrong cos they asked chim qns like what's his fav perfume brand..how much is her hse PUB bill..piangs..all except 1..what's her hse flat colour..we had fixed colours as blue..whoopi..if our ans was wrong, we had to choose frm 1-8 which dish we want..8 is the highest amt of pts..i tried 5 with my partner..drink vinegar..but i was suffering intestinal cramps so 1 of the other gals had to drinkk for me..another couple had meal worms..8 pts..yucks..gain xtra pts? we sent a couple, the guy had to eat the mealworm that's placed on the girl's lips..hehe

4) lost civiliasation

5) underwater world
blind folded, make animal noises and find our other pair..i was a panda..how to make noise..went round saying.."no noise, 2 colours"..my partner replied.."bamboo"..haha..in order to gain extra points, we had to find 5 pple to tell us "i love u too"..we asked some angmohs and locals..we were like "i love u"..they reply "i love u"..haiz then got to show them 2 fingers in order for them to say the "too" word..all except a malay man whom we asked if his wife says "i love u" what will he reply..he said "i miss u" ..diaoz..

6) bora bora beach bar
had to pamper and coax the station ICs..cos the say we too early..had to make them laugh..we used our butts to spell our grp name but nt funny enuf..den we approached a grp of malay guys and ask 1 of them to propose to the girl IC..then they requested for cold drink cos the sun was scorching..we had to guess their names after that and make a cheer using it..we cheered sth abt yandaos and chiobus..yeah we made it!! ok..the task..swim to a IC in the water, get a small rubber duckie from her adn swim back..for the bid duckies..a couple have to put a hulla hoop around them then swim out..oh yesh..we get xtra pts when the girls take off their tops..with swimwear beneath lah..

7) the southern most point of the asia continent
ran across the wooden bridge..1st group to complete..great sense of achievement, team spirit and unity..had to give 3 cheers..then wet ourselves and roll in the sand after that..like muah chee..covered with sand, form our grp name..take a foto and we WON!!!! suddenly a heavy downpour, hide in the attap pavilion and play ball..hehe..wait for all teams to come back, take a BRE fac pic..off to wash up..

our OGs said we were running out of time..so we ran thru'out..also lucky cos each time we had to catch the bus to the nxt station, the bus came..we cheered and shouted..atmosphere was much better than day1..

at night..dinner at 1 of the cafes by the beach..in order to reveal our SPs..we were given couples names..like kermit & ms piggy..mulder & scully..i was fann wong searching for christopher lee..haha..had to xchange gifts..i bought a box of jap biscuits..he gave me a cow soft toy handfone holder..cute..thanks..we didnt interact much..abit pity..played SP games like having to hold a slice of bread between our faces and pass on to another couple..did the dance with him..pretty qiao..he was a former SRJC student..haha..towards the end, chatted abit..btw some couples were girl-girl..lack of guys..
mini pageant..6 couples were picked..OGs have to dress them up and after that they have to catwalk..a funny scene..don't know how to say..hehe

hey peeps!! i'm back..enjoyed myself totally over the past 4 days with mum in HK..had a bumper harvest and great appetite eating all that food.hope i didn't put on weight, got to visit the gym soon..anyway i've posted lots of pics on my blog for ur to view, however some pics can't be viewed full..kindly play with the left-right arrows..hehe..

i went HK with $2500HKD, now my wallet has got only $150HKD left..woah, that's like i've spent almost $400SGD..this june i got to eat bread and butter already, my salary that i earned at mum's office previously all gone, so is my june's allowance..but don't care i enjoyed myself totally..just got to start saving up for my july's trip to perth..hehe..

the sale in HK was great man..usually we go there in august when the summer sale actually starts, but will be unable to get the sizes..this time i got everything that i wanted cos mum says if i see sth i want buy it, we wun be running back to the shop again, which i use to do so last time..outlets like giordano, espirit, adidas, nike..some of the designs don't come to s'pore..so i'm happy with my purchases..mum and i bought jacket from espirit..there was a 70% discount and adding the EPC discount, we paid 20% of the sale price only..funny thing, we have the jacket design already, just of different colour..we bought it in s'pore before we went HK..so we even out the amount we paid..it's still worth it!!

i bought a pair of birkenstock..rainbow design..nice..saw my green visor in the pic..cool eh!! the bag too..all at a discount..some of my cloths and bottoms were discounted too..some 10%, some 80%..hehe..no need to take part in the GSS already..but i promised farhan to go shopping with him soon..me shall just window..hehe..

the weather was ok..rainy on most of the days, had to wear poncho and use the brolly..when its not raining, its cool, didn't perspire at all..the only bad thing, alot of china nationales flocking to HK..hardly see any ang-moh or japanese tourists already like it used too in the past..

i got loads of snacks too..lao po bings. xiao ding dangs, wasabi peas..

only 2 places which i made a bad choice visiting was quarry bay and shatin..the internet bluffed me..there wasn't a mall in quarry bay..the train i took to shatin was wrong too..its a housing estate, no snoopy world..but the air was fresh, totally different environment from the city..something that's hard to experience in s'pore..

1st time we had too much time on hand, don't know what to do on the last day..well we wasted time going to the above 2 places, mum says we shld have explore either macau or shenzhen..hmm..maybe..but guess it'll be sometime before we go to HK again..

we walked alot..legs aching..while u walk, u eat..roadside food, essence of the dripping aircon water, exhaust fumes..hehe..ever wondered why HK drama always say that they're famous for the roasted meats, goose, duck..well they hang the birds to dry outside the buildings..like how we hang our clothes to dry in the HDB flats..can imagine..hehe..just short of a pic to show u..hehe

met liyean at the hotel..she arrived on monday, and tomorrow she'll be back already..so soon..

guess i didn't miss much about the food in s'pore..

hmm..my flight to HK was ok except for the landing..watched "the wedding date"..
the flight home last nite was bad..landing horrid..also the moment i boarded the plane i felt clusterphobic..thru'out the flight i was feeling uncomfortable, couldn't watch movie nor eat..i was intending to watch "in good company"..there was also movies like "hitch".."be cool"..watching movies on flights..helps me save movie tix money...hehe..wonder what i'll watch during my perth flight..hehe..

kk..blog getting long..want to know anything else abt my trip drop me a tag..got to go clear my stuffs..

this morn got woken up by the dumb construction outside my house..they were doing some digging and piling of the road, covering up the drains..imagine sleeping on the 3rd floor also can heard the noise..argh..

my hair still looks straight and good today..not a wasted effort..2 weeks no tying and clipping and putting of hair behind ears..no swimming..haiz..like that also got difficulty going to the gym man..running without hair being tied up is like a mad woman on the loose with hair flying in all directions..

argh the weather is so freaking hot..got to seek refuge in my room later with the air con..can't stand it..either it rains or it shines..extreme..hopefully HK weather will be good..when bro went it was raining all day long, typhoon..

i'm pondering if i want to appeal nus, thou i accepted real estate..what exactly do i want to do with my life..just get married..how to do that without a partner..haha..not that insane yet..dad always ask me what i want to do in the future..career..karung guni? hehe..

sat at the hair salon for 4 hours rebonding my hair..now my butt is aching man..but the outcome is good..i said that if i passed my driving, i'll rebond my hair..fair enough to be spending that money lah..funny..the last time i rebonded my hair was just before i went for my previous HK trip..and this saturday i'll be flying to HK..hehe..

went to PS to watch madagascar with gaowei today..the man with a broken toe..imagine watching a movie with clutches..tiring man, having to hop up and down the flight of stairs..the movie was cute lah but didn't turn out to be the way i thot it was to be..

i hafn't pack my luggage yet..

at dinner, dad said that he wld be getting a toyota altis..there goes my passo..i'm sad..
hate it when he tempts me with sth and next he's also the one that crashes that hope and dream..

last nite i chatted on msn..it seems that i have been erased from his memory..can't remember the things we did together..movies and hang outs..i'm sad..but somehow that shld be the way things shld be lah..he has moved on..it's just a 1-sided thingy now..but i'm happy when the conversation is able to be 2-way..rather than the times when i get no reply..last nite was 1 of the better times..i did move on but it just keeps coming back..or rather it never left..how come..i've got no idea..is it i just chose not to let go and hoping for things to be the same as before again or do i just want to compete for it..yet i never fought for it, letting things go as he chose it to be..just want things to be good..friends..

what's for tomorrow..stay home pack luggage..slack..not going to work already..bro's gf will be going to work at mum's office..guess i've fired myself..can't be having 2 people doind the same stuffs..anyway she will be able to work for a longer period than me..

i guess i wun be appealing for a different course at nus already..since i'm unable to do a minor in maths..no point..
