So shine your light;

Hello secret readers of my blog!

Shall make this snappy. Sometimes simple sentences speak the most, because there's just so much you can interprete from them.

Taiwan was awesome! <3 Thanks Ms Yip, Ms Van Dijk, DaoYou & THREEFOURTEEN!

Next,

Thanks to everyone who remembered <3 I'm fifteen! Awesome. Thanks Con Esther Car Alicia Angeline for today's outing! (:

Okay I want to say something I shouldn't say, so I shall keep mum.

I want Kris Allen's new album!!!! I don't mind a belated birthday present -HEH-

Oh and happy (belated) birthday to Aunty Adeline, Grace, Julia, Huiqi, Amelia too!

Goodnight world <3

 I know I promised to blog after eoys, but so many things have happened I hadn't had the time to catch my breath. But here goes:

Things that happened recently (for the sake of documentation):

• Preparation for ATC'09
• The formation of AMMP (:
• Camp Briefing
• Farewell & Handover '09 ):
• Last Day of School
• Sec 4 Graduation Ceremony
• Ice skating outing with 5 members of 314

Shall do some shout-outs to the important groups of people in my life; since the official school year has just ended (:

It's weird now that we've officially taken over. I just want to thank batch'06 for their guidance over the past 3 years; and though I don't know everyone of you well, it's been an awesome journey. See you guys in JC <3

A shout-out to my wonderful batchmates; for though we're not perfect, we're always there to support one another <3 One last year; and we'll make it the best (:

Thanks Sparrow '09; for giving me happy memories of the last patrol I'll ever be in.

AMMP; for encouraging and helping me; and for having to put up with me.

Roos, for teaching and guiding AMMP despite having Chinese Os. 

To Nanyang Guides, for fuelling my passion and helping me grow as a person.

Here's one for 314, for being such an amazing class to be in; for being wacky, superbly fun, and simply fantabulous. Love you guys, and hope we'll have fun in Taiwan and in the coming year (:

Last but not least, to my family and to God, for always being with me no matter what; despite how horrible I am.

That's all the shout-outs for now (:

Farewell was stressful; never got to enjoy it properly, but I ended up crying like crap ): Thanks to everyone who gave me a present/letter; really appreciate it <3 Oh and thanks batchmates and my fellow I/Cs; for making it all possible. I hope the Sec4s enjoyed it (: 

Graduation Ceremony was fun; though we made complete fools of ourselves. For the seniors who saw us (and what we were doing xD) I hope it'll be part of a funny memory that you'll remember always (: 

Iceskating/Arcade today was a bit of a failure, but fun all the same (: Thanks to Crystal Alicia Carissa and Angeline for the fun (:

There; that's all the updates (: Off to bathe and then to the other things in my life that I have to do.



I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me!

This is a promise to anyone who still bothers to read this. 

Or maybe, a promise to myself.



This blog will be up and running again as soon as the exams end (:



because i've realised, how much i need to put my feelings into words.




John 3:16 ; the best promise of all.

 4 days of Dunman MAS is officially over...and to be honest, I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

It was certainly an interesting experience, and I think my council's the best :D 

ASEAN HEALTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL FTW! <3

To be honest I wasn't exactly looking forward to the Summit at all because I felt totally unprepared + scared when I was told that everyone was older -.- But it was great, thanks to the wonderful people whom I met :D

Although we weren't that great during the committee sessions and everything, especially on the first day, I think we all grew as a council over the past 4 days, especially the last day, when we met at 1230 for lunch at Kallang Macs, freaking out on the bus when we realised that Hanis was coming with us, sitting at the bus stop waving at 158, $3.95 ice passion tea, Aunties carrying umbrellas, the long walk back to dunman, preparing for our council item all the way uptill the dinner, doing weird dances, making up er, interesting lyrics to songs, camwhoring with Matt's webcam, roll call and voting with accents, the skit with a signman, and (being the only council who was obviously) camwhoring before the dinner, giving EXTREME standing ovations (standing on chairs xD) and screaming our hearts out for each other. 

Thank you AHDC! You guys rock :D Amanda Stacy Hanis Angela Matt Deejee Rebecca Cher Meena Janice Varsha Kevin Shijie Nabil Aqilah Vanessa Oliver and the Malaysian delegate whom I don't know your name (sorry!) PLUS our chairs and vchairs Steffi Nicole and Tze Lin (:

Committee sessions; I didn't really speak up much but it was certainly an eye opener sitting there and listening to every one speak. 
Resolution paper; staying up with the rest to finish it up, though it didn't get selected, but OUR RESO WAS THE BEST! 
Passing notes; HAHA the lunch note that was hilariously funny, but couldn't be passed on when the Sect-gens came in (Matt threw it away -.-)
'Decorum please, delegates!' -- The line I will definitely never forget!
Crisis + Plenary session; Thanks Charis Amanda Jesslene Joyan Yuxin Teck (though you couldn't be there) for being such an AWESOME Vietnam delegation (:

Thanks AHDC for trying to make me stay on the last official day (with simple placard voting, yellow blazer, Miss Campfire [-.-] as reasons) , it was really sweet (: Haha and taking that council photo (and many others) with me before I left (:

Photospam on facebook xD

Manchester United won the Premiership! :D

KRIS ALLEN WON AMERICAN IDOL! :DD

plus Yi Jung/ Kim Bum is very cute heh :D

Tadum :D

2nd shift CSM duty at Hwachong!

Mars and Venus and Iluma trip with Abigail Sheryl Sherbie Weiqi after CSM! With 'coincidental meetings' with Huimin xD

GOLD FOR NAPFA! :D

Going out for farm expedition tmrrr! 314 is a fun special class :D

Position papers are not the best thing to do. 

KRIS ALLEN WON AMERICAN IDOL! :D :D :D Haha okay sorry still not over it.

 I've been back from LTC for two days! 

Haven't been exactly free because I fell sick after that :/ I woke up on wednesday with a high fever then slept Wednesday away, woke up on thursday feeling better but woke up today with a horrible sore throat + no voice + cough :/ Bleh haven't had much time to do work :/ (Ah I don't get Bio/Chem!!! Someone help me O:)

Anyway LTC wasn't exactly smooth sailing, but I think our batch has learnt alot from this camp, really hope we can put these things we have learnt to good use (: It feels weird to think that we'll be taking over the company soon, it's an awfully heavy responsibility and I never would think time would pass so fast. It just seemed like yesterday when our batch was discussing how to decorate the guide board ._. We're seniors, and no longer juniors who need to be guided. The whole future of nygg will soon rest in our hands. (Ohman it sounds so serious blehhh stop it michelle that will come at a later time :/ ) But we'll do it as a batch, yeah (: We'll always have each other, whether we like it or not xD

I think it's too early to tell if we have grown closer/bonded together more after LTC, but I do hope so. (: We had various reflecting sessions during LTC and I hope we can break out from our cliques and become more united :D I hope we've identified our problems during batchbonding alr, so we just have to forget the past and move forward, yeah? Bleh on a side note I must learn tolerance :/ I think I get impatient easily, especially with batchmates, sorry D:  

Thanks Sheryl Seah for the pics! And thanks/sorry fellow IC for stuff yayyy :D Day 2 was horrible cos we were ICs for 2 consecutive things D:

Oh and thanks Chinwen/Sarah/can't rmb who alr yeah :D

Plus thanks to manymany people, you know who you are, and I'm too busy/lazy (haha you can choose to believe whichever) to post already! I've got 3 days of the hols to catch up on :/ Blocks next week! How exciting :/

On a side note, YOG camp yayyyyy can't wait :D Though it means missing CCA but oh wells :/
On an even side-er note, progress report wasn't too bad hooray :D

 To serve, to strive, and not to yield.


Illuwenate'09; the test of our teamwork.
160309-180309

It's up to us to make it the best or the worst ever.

LTC, here we come.

Batch '07; jiayou (:





I want OBS back ):

OBS.

I don't dare say it changed my life, (it's too early to tell yet) like it did for Samuel, but it has already changed my perspective of things. 

Open minds, perspectives.

During the first 2 days I was unwilling to accept the new things we learnt at OBS (like the rolling hitch, and not using pacing to do the pegs) and I already had my own selfish perspectives of OBS and I assumed that there would be many falls, jumps and everything I was afraid of. 

I arrived at Pulau Ubin as an obstinate person who was unwilling to accept new ideals.

I left with fresh insights about camping life.

I think it was rather obvious that I was hesitant about doing stuff during the first few days at OBS ('initial reservations', says Samuel). I wasn't as enthusiastic as I normally am during camps, and I was basically slacking around while I let others do the more tiring jobs. 

Self-discovery. 

Stepping out of comfort zones.

I never realised how Nanyang was still in our comfort zone. Guides camps are always in Nanyang, we've never ventured out. To us then, it was tough. But now, Guides camp didn't give me as much training in the sense of living outside our comfort zones as OBS did. 

OBS taught me many things. OBS taught me that I would have to work with others in order to survive, and not just care about myself first. I was selfish, I told people to help me do stuff but ended up doing nothing at all. 

Teamwork;
Perseverance;
Punctuality;
Encouragement.

I miss Nicholas and Samuel already.
It's kind of sad that you will definitely remember them, but how they might just forget that you exist in a matter of weeks :/
But then as Linsha said as we watched them leave, 'Their lives are probably more fulfilling than any of the office workers in Singapore.' (:

I think OBS would have been different without Nicholas and Samuel (: Isn't it coincidental how we were Nicholas' "assesment watch" and Samuel was Nicholas' assesor? If Nicholas wasn't being assessed then Samuel would never have been with our watch, and we wouldn't have laughed as much as we did during OBS at Samuel's lame jokes, and we wouldn't have been inspired by his uhm life story (: 

A huge thank you to our instructors :D

I'm really inspired by OBS! :D Especially before the jetty jump which we didn't do in the end. How Nicholas didn't want us to have 'a scar on our life forever', so it was 'all for one and one for all' and how Samuel explained to us after Nicholas broke the news to the rest of the watch that his hanging at the red line for one and a half hours 'changed his life'. And how after I told Samuel 'Shit, I feel damn bad now,' he went 'It's okay'. And how Nicholas said that 'It's not your decision, it's solely mine, so you don't have to feel bad.'

Thanks to this incident, I'm really going to conquer my fear of heights now (: I'm not going to freeze up or freak out during ladder/swiss side window/trust fall during cca! And I WILL go back to Pulau Ubin and do the jetty jump (: I'm not going to let it be a barrier to my future endeavours, cos 'Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing' (:

I've been really inspired by Samuel's comments in my nyaa booklet too, I'm going to go all out for cca and everything the next two years (: 

Oh and Vanessa and I have planned out everything already! :D We're going for OBS Sabah during gcp next year, then we'll join OAC in hwachong, then we'll go back to Pulau Ubin as trainee instructors! (: [Or whatever Samuel was talking about!]

Outward Bound Singapore;
Bound for discovery, changed for life!

'There's something about OBS that stays with you for life!'

 

Presenting to you…(Drumroll please)…WATCH 18; COUSTEAU! :D (Pronounced Coos-toe xD)

From L to R:

First row: Jessica, Carissa, ME!, Angeline, Yuxin, Alicia, Amanda, Linsha, Nicholas

Second row: Samuel, Vanessa, Cher Yee, Hannah, Charis, Eileen

 

OBS was really an awesome experience! Initially, I really didn’t want to go for OBS. After hearing the seniors’ stories about doing your business in the wild, having to jump/fall from heights, I wasn’t looking forward to it anymore. On the contrary, I started to dread it. However, my opinions and stereotypes of OBS by others’ perspectives and experiences were proved wrong. Instead, I have come out of OBS wanting to return again!

These 5 days have certainly been the time of my life (:

 

I shall blog in detail about OBS (for once I am actually blogging in detail for a camp) cos I really don’t want to forget it. It was an experience of a lifetime and the very first time I cried because camp was over.

 

Day 1:

 

We met in school first and said goodbye to those who were staying in ‘safe old Singapore’. It was extremely sad to have to leave them behind in school and to have to go to OBS without them. ONG JESSLENE NICOLE LAUREN EUGENIA JEAN CELINE EUNICE hope you had a great time in Singapore while we were away (: Then we had to go to the quadrangle to line up, I was in watch 18 with Teck Carissa Angeline Yuxin Alicia Amanda and Linsha while the rest were in watch 19 :/ There were 10 314-ers in watch 19 as compared to 8 in watch 18, so it was obvious that my watch would be a mixed class watch. Was having mixed feelings about it as although I had said before (a few times in fact) that I would prefer to be in a mixed class watch, it was kind of sad that the 8 of us would have to be split up with the majority of 314 and thus not being able to bond well together as an entire class. (But on the other hand, I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE IN ANY OTHER WATCH THAT COUSTEAU! [: Sorry chengho people! COUSTEAU FTW<3)

 

Hm then we boarded the bus, sat with Joyan, talked a bit then went to sleep (I think! Whoops I can’t really remember alr sorry joyan!) Reached punggol jetty and went to the Outward Bound Reception Centre, I was reallyreallyreally OVERJOYED because I had a batchmate in my watch!!!! :D :D :D Yeah because my watch was a mixed class watch :D Our watch consisted of 5 people from 307 and Cheryee was in my watch!! xD LOL I think we really have mo4 qi4 cos we have been in the same camp patrol for 2 years alr and then it turned out that we were in the same OBS watch!! :D Talked with the 314 people while we were baked under the hot sun D: Kylie shared with us her sandwiches yay :D Thankyou Kylie! :D Played with my sungalsses + cap it was funn (:

 

Finally we were called to go inside the shelter, had this really long briefing about OBS and its’ history, was rather dry :/ Finally we got to meet our instructors!! :D Our watch cheered rather softly cos most of the 314 and 307 people were rather hesitant about being in a mixed class watch and not with their classmates :/ Anyway Carissa was super excited when our instructors were announced!! xDD Cos she decided that Samuel was shuai4 and was really happy when we got him –.- So she was cheering like REALLY loud haha!! xD

 

Blahblah so the other watches’ instructors were announced too, and then we split up into our watches for self-intro.

 

Ohyeah!

 

WARNING: YOU MAY GET SAMUEL-CITIS AFTER READING THE TEXT BELOW. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

 

Anyway the first thing Samuel did was stand at the window and pretend to be the fast food drive-thru guy (with a weird accent!) –.- All of us were like ._. what kind of instructor is this xD We then sat in a circle and Nicholas introduced himself and Samuel to us, then made us write our name on a masking tape (Samuel drew a superman sign xD) and play the car and bicycle game where we were supposed to split into two groups: one group is the cars and the other bicycles, then exchange info about each other: Your favourite hobby, favourite food and favourite pastime, then swop the masking tape name with the person you asked and continue asking other cars/bicycles. Ohyeah! First lame joke of the 5 day OBS course:

Samuel: Are you 18? (We were in watch 18)

Us: Yeah…

Samuel: But you don’t look a day over 15!

-.- Okay that’s Samuel’s first of the many lame jokes to come –.-

Took a really awkward watch photo (as posted above) cos we didn’t really know each other well at that time :/ So it was like 307 in one row and 314 in the other, with the instructors standing randomly –.- Then we went near the jetty to wait for the boat to come. LOL it was really funny we were telling Samuel all of Yuxin/Mrs Chang/Ms Tan’s lame jokes xD And he was making us do weird and lame stuff –.-

Samuel: Can you gather in trees (threes) now?

-Our watch splits into groups of 3-

Samuel: You guys didn’t follow instructions, you are gathered on concrete!

-.-

Samuel: Can you sing a song together now?

Us: Uh…

Samuel: Just sing! Any song is fine.

Us: Twinkle twinkle little star…

Samuel: That’s great! You guys were almost in harmony!

None of us got that until we walked to the boat and realised that the boat’s name was ‘Harmony’ –.-

LOL Shiaowei’s watch was there as well and Shiaowei said Samuel was weird xD

Wow I realised I haven’t even talked about OBS itself yet ._.

Took ‘Harmony’ with Shiaowei’s watch and Samuel was being weird and pretending to be the Pirates of the Carribean guy, saying that we can’t see the island (Pulau Ubin-.-) unless we had a ‘pure heart’ –.- & then he started talking about the black pearl –.- and Alicia’s ‘forlorn look’ –.- (LOL that’s 10 –.-s alr)

Samuel: I am fluent in English, Chinese and rubbish!

xD

Finally reached OBS CAMP 2 (<3) (though we weren’t exactly very happy about it then, we wanted camp 1) Went to the training shed and we had to surrender all our valuables plus medicine to Nicholas. Then we appointed I/Cs (I was time I/C) and set rules for ourselves for OBS. Following that we proceeded to our camp store, which seemed really tiny, scrawny, dusty and dirty :/ So we had to empty everything out and make sure they were in good working condition, with Angeline our store IC in charge :D Nicholas demo-ed how to fold a tent, tarp, flysheet and poncho, how to put the whistle in the life jacket etc, then we did it ourselves. I couldn’t unzip one of the zips on the haversacks and showed Nicholas and Samuel, then Nicholas could unzip it after tugging on it, so Samuel said that I didn’t have a 'pure heart’ –.- Hm then after that we unpacked the food! :D There was seriously ALOT of food, and Nicholas split it into three kinds: Happy food (which we can finish by ourselves easily when we need a snack), Commitment food (which we had to finish once it was opened cos it was not individually wrapped) and Normal food (Buns, bread etc.) We had our lunch :D But it was rather rushed and light and I didn’t really eat alot :/ Ate oranges! And we were supposed to keep the orange peel for kayaking!

Cos after lunch we had kayaking!! :D Changed into wet attire of a long sleeved shirt, track pants, cap, lifejacket and wet shoes, then Nicholas brought us to the kayak shed so that we could learn how to carry a kayak and choose kayaks that were in good condition.

Samuel: Guys go kayaking but ladies go kayaqueen! (Can’t really rmb when he said it)

xD

Yeah then went to take paddles, left handers have special paddles :D! Learned how to use the paddle on dry ground, then carried the kayaks to the beach. Nicholas did the water confidence thing with us when we fell backwards into the sea holding hands in a circle and see our legs float up due to our life vests. We were then taught how to capsize, which Carissa wanted to try first –.- So being her kayak partner, I was really freaked out but still went to try first O: It was really scary :/ Then we learnt how to do TS (or is it TX ._.) rescue which I smartly volunteered to help in his demo by being the front person in the kayak, who had to keep holding on to the deckline of the other kayak. I was in the kayak for quite a long time and began to feel claustrophobic O: Cos suddenly Samuel would say something then there would be a wave coming O:

We learnt how to do the see-saw method of emptying the kayaks too (: Realised that Samuel could actually sound serious O: And really serious O:  

However we couldn’t try it out as there was Cat 1 lightning, which means that lightning was sighted in the area (Sector 17!) Felt really claustrophobic after coming out and smelled the orange peel ._. Since we couldn’t try we had to carry all the kayaks back to the kayak shed ): Then teck’s foot cramped up and Samuel made me press my foot against her cramped up foot for blood circulation.

Samuel: Okay this won’t help but it just looks funny…

-Passes the both of us a paddle-

Samuel: Okay each of you hold one end of the paddle.

-Teck and I do as told-

Samuel: There, can’t you see the connection! (Our feet were pressing against each other -.-)

-.-

Hm then went to bathe, then we learnt how to cook food with solid fuel tablets (:

It’s quite different from using twigs and punk, cos after we light the fire we don’t really have to maintain it until the fuel runs out. Used the 3-2-1 method to cook rice, Mrs Chang/Nicholas’ 1:1 doesn’t work!! LOL but we were all starving so we just sped up the cooking process of the rice and we ended up eating partially uncooked, partially cooked and partially overcooked rice xD We had luohancai, peanuts and sardines as well, we couldn’t finish the rice so Amanda and Linsha had a food fight (or smth like that) to see who could last the longest in eating the rice xD After that we went to pitch our tents in the field near the kayak shed, we were like one of the very very very few groups using the a-tent! We didn’t use the guides method of two & a half hitches but instead used a rolling hitch…which I must say was quite hard for me to learn as I kept doing two and a half hitches :/ I think at that point in time, I was unable to adapt to the new methods taught by Nicholas but kept stuck to my own ideas of how to pitch the tent :/ I need to learn how to adapt! Ohyeah and Nicholas was saying smth about our watch (as in the watch Cousteau) being crushed by the rotting branches or smth like that (shucks I can’t rmb alr!! D:) and Samuel suddenly showed me his watch ._. So as time I/C I thought he wanted me to change my watch timing to his.

Me: Do I have to adjust my watch timing?

-Silence while we both stare at my watch & his watch-

Samuel: Your watch is still on your hand what!

-.-

Then we had a fire drill ._. We were strolling to the parade square and we met up with cheng ho! :D Talked about the day so far (they went for abseiling O: So scary!!) blahblah and then everyone in camp 2 got scolded for being slipshod and having no sense of urgency :/ Then we went back to finish pitching the tents up and finally finished :D Went to sleep, slept with Carissa Alicia and Angeline, told them the bus ghost story xD Which Angeline got quite freaked out with at first ._. LOL then we went to sleep and we could hear every word Amanda Linsha Yuxin and Teck were saying ._.

Btw we were late for nearly everything on day 1 :/ I'm sorry for being such a lousy time IC Cousteau ):

Okay I am lazy shall post this first then shall continue with the next four days after I finish washing up.

Back! :D Zomg just realised smth really funny xD Vanessa! Maybe we can get our second watch photo after all!!

Day 2:

Woke up late ._. So we rushed and we brought our breakfast to the training shed to eat so we weren’t late (: Then we went for trust fall :/ As my previous experiences with trust falls…I was totally freaked :/ Thanks Cousteau & Nicholas and Samuel! (: Yeah managed to do it though I didn’t fall correctly :/

Samuel: Ay, m’lassie, you did it! (In a weird pirate accent)

._.

Then we did belaying…or rock climbing :/ Learnt how to put on the helmet and harness first! Then we kept getting checked so that it would be safe ._. LOL I queued up like 4 times before I passed please –.- Then Samuel started telling us his story of how he became an OBS instructor…haha it was inspirational (: He said he was scared of heights! And couldn't get past the red line on the rock wall (sounds just like me whoops) And how he felt so weak! And decided to take on more sports after that (:

Samuel: Our instructor didn't really help us, but now I realised that it was because of her refusal to help us that forced us to try to learn and do the things ourselves. 

How inspirational :D 

Then after that it started raining so we had to move to the indoor rock wall, took a while to move :/ I fell asleep in the indoor rock wall hall waiting and Samuel told Cheryee to scare me –.-

-Samuel tries to stuff a dead leaf into Yuxin’s helmet-

Me: Yuxin, watch out!

Samuel: Listen to Nicholas! (He was explaining something)

-Samuel tries to stuff the leaf into my helment-

-.-

Hm then finally did rock wall! Thank goodness we only had to climb up to the point when our eyes were at the red line (which was quite low) so I just quickly did though I was screaming when I was lowered down :/ Being the belayer is fun! :D

Climber: Am I on belay?

Belayer: No you are not!

Climber: That’s me :D

Belayer: Squeeze check! Pull check! Instructor check!

Climber: Climbing!

Belayer: Climb on!

:D :D

Then we did Kayaking and practiced our paddling plus TS rescue. Carissa and I rescued Cheryee and Hannah first! :D Was quite okay and successful :D Then Samuel splashed water at me cos I was dry ._. After that Carissa and I capsized! I got hit on the eye while trying to overturn the kayak during TS rescue ._. Then I was flailing about in the water while people were telling me that my eye was swollen/bruised/bleeding O: Quite scary then Nicholas had to help me recover my calm state back. (: Got back on the kayak and rafted up with the rest of the watch while Nicholas went to save Yuxin and Angeline who somehow couldn’t paddle properly together xD Psshh then got splashed again –.- After that Samuel realised that I had a cut on my eye and he became all serious and tried to help me see if it was alright (: 

After that we bathed and packed our stuff into the OBS haversack to walk to camp one. It was really tiring and backbreaking and I was stuck at the back for the first half with Charis Cheryee and Hannah :/ Then after that went in front and then the pace was slower –.- WE SAW A WILD BOAR IT WAS REALLY FREAKY IT WAS BLACKKKK OOO:

Someone: (The tent I slept in had two extra spacers that I forgot to pack in that day which I put in my pocket and everyone knew it was there cos I had to take it out during trust fall) Let’s use a spacer to kill it!

Linsha: I bet that tastes great!

Samuel: The wild boars are attracted to the zha bors!

-.-

Finally reached camp one! Pitched our tent in some ulu forest nearby :/ Hm then walked to the camp one building (: It was really nice! :D Took a tour of the place (the instructors actually practice kayaking in a swimming pool!!) Went to the cook house! :D We actually had cooked food for dinner that day :D :D :D Was really good considering the state of the rice we had the previous night… (: Ohyeah on the way there:

-Hannah's shirt read 'fan into flame' (it was part of a bible verse :D )-

Samuel: Does that mean we have to set her on fire?

._.

Anyway on day 2 I was really tired + sian + drained out, I don’t know why though :/ I think it was my perspective of OBS and the fact that I was unwilling to give it all out for the activities due to my stereotype of it. Hm then medical centre!

Went to have my eye inspected plus Carissa’s back checked. Finally saw the cut in my eye! (I was telling Nicholas that I couldn’t see my own eye the whole day xD) Haha then we went there and Carissa told the nurse to kick her back xD It was super hilarious the nurse was like O: how can you kick a back!! xD

Samuel: Mich mich, (i have NO IDEA when/why he started calling me that no one has ever called me that in my life [for as long as I can rmb]) go and take a paper, pen, and duct tape!

Me: Hurhh?!

Samuel: Write the word ‘Kick me’ and paste it on Carissa’s back!

-.-

Then Carissa was telling the nurse about something in her eye.

Samuel: Now you can write ‘Spit in my eye’ too!

xD

Anw it was really funny in the medical centre xD LOL then someone walkie-talkied Samuel to ask him to bring toilet paper from the medical centre xD All of us in the medical centre were like LOLLL xD Which Samuel then proceeded to put on my head –.-

Proceeded to the forest where I slept with Linsha Carissa and Alicia! Apparently I was talking very loudly although I promise you I was whispering!!! & suddenly someone went ‘SHUT UP LA’ and our whole tent didn’t know she was talking about us –.- Or rather as everyone said me –.- I’m sorry ):

Day 3:

Had cooked food for breakfast again! :D Had beehoon plus hotdog plus MILO YAYY :D

Rockclimbing in the morning! Was really scary tried to do all the other jobs so I wouldn’t have to climb :/ Carissa is PRO she was the only one who managed to climb to the top! (10 METRES!!! OOO:) I LIKE BELAYING! :D (I think) Samuel said you can get muscles when doing belaying! He told us to use water bottles or weights to get muscles xD

Oh other lame stuff! xD

-Someone was climbing down-

People at the bottom: Let go of your hand! (It was supposed to be ‘Let go of your hand from the rock wall/jag!’)

-Samuel used his hand to grab his wrist-

Samuel: Let go of your hand! (He let go of the hand that was holding his other hand –.-)

People at the bottom: L-shape! (It was supposed to mean ‘Put your body in an L-shaped position!’)

Samuel: L-shape! (does the loser sign) –.-

Ended up that I had to climb the last :/ Was really scary and I was shouting/screaming when I went up and down :/ Managed to look at the red line! Which was my goal so I feel quite accomplished (: Thanks Nicholas plus Cousteau for all your words of encouragement! Especially Nicholas (:

Hm then had lunch and packed our bag and we had land expedition! Nicholas revised with us all the geog map reading skills plus guides orienteering skills! :D And I became the navigator –.- (Sorry nicole I didn’t follow your advice! Anyway i didn’t have a choice –.-)

Samuel: If Blossom or Buttercup is in the compass, it's okay. But if Bubbles is there, then it's spoilt!

._.

Had some trouble at first but thanks to Vanessa & a bit of help from Nicholas (whoops) we managed to get past two checkpoints despite the sweltering heat plus tons of mosquitos and weird insects :D Then it started to rain ._. So we all wore our bright yellow ponchos and trekked straight for really long O: Sheltered in some toilet –.- Which stank :/ Then Charis started crying D: I had no idea what happened :/

-Samuel points at me, points at Charis and shakes his finger with the ‘tsktsktsk’ look on his face-

-.-

Hm then we ate our happy food :D Linsha and I ate quite a bit whoops We ate two granola bar packets :/ Plucked out quite a large chunk of marble cake from the piece that Samuel passed around :/ Whoops :/

After the rain subsided we set off again and we sang alot of songs :D from english to chinese! :D We sang a whole new world, at the beginning, when you believe, I’m yours, bleeding love, tong hua, lao shu ai da mi, peng you, dang ni gu dan ni hui xiang qi shui, and Samuel’s shit song –.- Which he obviously made up on the spot cos it was so gross –.-

 

Finally reached our camp at Jeluntong (how ever you spell it)! Nicholas told us to walk at this lane that was full of puddles at first, then I was behind Cheryee (who was at the front). We squeezed through this plant, and went Cheryee walked through the plant, I was right behind her and the plant slammed right into my face ._.

Samuel: Was that on purpose? (While laughing at me –.-)

Reached jeluntong and WE USED THE TARP THAT I WAS LUGGING FROM CAMP 2 TO CAMP 1 TO JELUNTUNG!! Yayy haha :D Used rocks to hold down the tent instead of pegs cos the ground was too rocky to peg in the pegs. And we had no mallot :/  Hm then went with Vanessa to find the toilet! We got lost like twice ._. We first went to some shelter looking toilet but we couldn’t find the bucket of ‘brown, foul smelling rain water’ :/ LOL then we proceeded to some place and walked in and saw an NEA truck inside ._. We were like?!?! LOL then finally found the right place haha xD OH AND I LEARNT HOW TO USE A SQUAT TOILET LOLLL :DDDD Okay haha I think Vanessa + Carissa plus random people in the toilet know about it cos I was freaking out in the toilet when I found out that all three dark toilets were squat toilets ._.

HAHA OHMYGOSH VANESSA AND I BOTH FOUND THE SAME THING!!! LOL HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAAAA  xDDDD

Okay to continue we went back and helped cook maggie mee with solid fuel tablets :/ Thanks alot amanda and linsha!! For doing most of the cooking (: And Carissa for the use of POWER!! :D

Hm then washed stuff in the sea and then had sea ex. briefing! Was quite okay haha (: Dagama met a scary INDIAN GUY ON THE BICYCLE!!! Was eating raisins so that I could poo before sea ex. which didn’t help :/ Hm then went to fix tents and prepare everything for sea ex.! Which was quite messy :/ Hm then got quite pissed with something, then after that went to prepare for night watch at 245. Slept with Linsha Amanda Teck Charis! Woke up for night watch and walked one round, which was 15 minutes ._.

 

Day 4:

Slept until 430! Then slept in until 5 –.- Packed, move kayaks, paddles, waterbottles and was one of the last to leave :/ Carissa and I had a horrible time paddling…kept banging into people and we went from near the front of the fleet to right at the back. Carissa caught the SAMUEL-CITIS BUG!!

Carissa: Let’s say byebye to the waves!

Me: Huhh?

Carissa: So they’ll stop waving at us!

._.

Carissa: No more Walls ice cream when we get back!

Me: Why?! O:

Carissa: Cos PADDLE POP!

-.-

LOLL I started paddling faster to get away from her then I realised that she was in the same kayak as me –.- LOL she spread peanut butter in the middle of the sea xD And samuel totally scared Janessa and I by throwing this Oriental Mix peanut bag at my kayak! then it landed on Janessa’s instead xD

Samuel tried to outdo Carissa xD

Samuel: Have you ever seen vehicles in the sea?

Cousteau: –.- (CARissa and VANessa!)

Felt horribly seasick in the middle and got really pissed with the people who kept saying ‘hurry up’ >( Was biting on orange peels for the first half of the journey then after that Carissa and I both felt like puking at the same time :/ But we both couldn’t puke at the same time right!! O: Cos then no one would be steering O: Had to pull up beside the instructors’ safety boat while Samuel and Nicholas attended to the both of us –.- Ate the whole orange in the next half of the trip! And I didn’t puke!!! :D Thanks to the nice sweepers!!! :D Carissa and I kept turning through out the whole sea ex. and we couldn’t paddle out boat straight :/ I was so sea sick that I had to close my eyes and paddle O: Didn’t pee in the sea! xD

Finally reached camp 2!! In the midst of a thunderstorm :/ Got splashed by the water thrice (twice by Samuel once by Vanessa) in the process of clearing up ._. Became super cold! O: Hm then went to do jetty jump. But we didn’t do in the end. Thanks Nicholas for your concern, Samuel for your explanation and comforting and Cousteau for your understanding and acceptance.

I’m sorry ):

Pitched tent, washed ponchos, bathed!

Haha ohyeah!

Hannah: –goes up to Samuel- I know why you’re so short! Because you’re scared of heights!

Samuel-citis!!! xD

Cooked :D

We were supposed to come up with dishes by ourselves and relate it to OBS! And we were competing with Da Gama (:

Oh! Haha lame joke:

-Mei + Nicholas introduce long beans as an ingredient-

Everyone: Booo…

Samuel: All those without covered shoes put your fingers on your toes!

Everyone: ?!

Samuel: You guys don’t like long beans right, so here’s another ingredient: LADIES FINGERS ON TOES!

-.-

Oh and he repeated his tree/three joke –.-

Oh two more!

Nicholas: Cous, can you form a semicircle?

Samuel: Since I'm Sam, then any circle I'm in is a SAM-i'-circle!

-.-

Cousteau: Samuel!

Samuel: I'm Sam-male! Of course I'm male!

._.

LOLL okay anyway we had nice food :D the EGGsperience, BEAN there done that, Hot soup, the CRUMBLING road and ORANGE kayaks! :D We’ve all got serious cases of Samuel-citis O:

Eggsperience: Scrambled eggs mushrooms onions luncheon meat

Bean there done that: Long beans luncheon meat

Hot soup: Cabbage mushrooms carrots

Crumbling road: APPLE CRUMBLE ;D Apples plus digestive plus nature valley apple crisp plus cereal! :D

Orange kayaks: Orange juice (:

LOL :D

In the end Samuel + Vivi said it was all bullshit –.-

OHOH saw ANOTHER wild boar AT THE CAMP ITSELF!!! Freaky manzxs!

Eating! :D Then met Nicholas and Samuel for debrief.

Samuel: Lift up both of your hands and jump!

-People do that-

Samuel: That looks like something you would see in Happy Tree Friends! (There was a fan directly above –.-)

-.-

Ohoh and one more xD

Nicholas: Cous!

Us: FINGER! (Cos normally we say 'teau' which is pronounced as 'toe' xD)

Carissa's idea!! xD SAMUEL-CITIS ZOMG! xD

Clearing up…Okay then after that those with rashes breakout had to meet somewhere…Cat 1 storm = sleeping in training shed! Cat 1 storm also = washing messtins and cutlery with rainwater!

Concrete floor was shuang :D

Day 5:

Woke up early and unpitched tents, ant infested ):

Washed, clean, packed store, looked for backpacks, scrubbed tents and flysheets, carried groundsheets, looked for tent pegs and spacers! Samuel saluted teckteck and I as we walked past the instructors’ shed HAHA xD Then Cheryee started comparing height with Samuel –.- Actually Samuel isn’t so short as he seems just that he slouches haha xD He’s taller than Cheryee when he stands up straight! xD Which made me feel zi-bei cos i'm not even 160 -.- Ohoh another lame joke! Went to look at haversack labels, there were a few CK (Cook) bags.

Me to Nicholas: We have alot of CK bags!

Samuel: Wow that must be very expensive!

Me: Huh?!

Samuel: Calvin Klein bags!

-.-

Haha went to hang tents up properly and they needed tall people, so naturally I went :D Since I’m tall right! Teckteck went in to the store too then Samuel told Teckteck to make me squat down and stand on me!! D:

Okay then after that was a sick conversation about undergarments in front of the male instructors –.- Which Samuel heard and then proceeded to tell Cheryee to go and pick up a grey uhm undergarment on the floor -.-

Trust dive! Managed to touch the Samuel Bell (: Though it didn’t ring it moved!! :D Trust dive > Trust fall! Thanks Nicholas again (: Oh and well done Hannah and Eileen :D We were supposed to think of a goal or something, but at that poin tin time I kind of felt that all my goals (about grades and everything) were really superficial after everything I've been through in OBS. So I just said 'We should hve a watch meeting every month!' (: 

Anw Samuel said something really inspirational after that! He said that it wasn't the physical act of touching the bell that counts, but instead it's about reaching your goals. And if you can't reach the stars? You'll still get stardust anyway (: Haha cheryee just told me his exact words! :D 'If you reach for the stars and you fall short, at the very least you'll get stardust.' Shucks I'm missing Samuel and Nicholas alot now ):

Debrief, getting certs, nyaa booklets photos, and surrendered items (: Nearly cried though, my voice cracked up :/

Samuel’s last joke!

Carissa: Can I go back to last night’s campsite to take Power’s battery cover!

Samuel: Can is the ability to do something (or smth to that effect)

Carissa: Oh sorry may I go back to last night’s campsite to take Power’s battery cover!

Samuel: May? But it’s march now!

-.-

Oh and he madeup a song about me being vertically challenged ._.

Samuel: Somewhere, over the rainbow
Where the sky is, not so high
You are vertically challenged...

-.- (PS I WANT TO TELL HIM I GREW AFTER OBS!!!)

Goodbye was sad and awkward D: I will miss Samuel & Nicholas!! D:

Wanted to take another picture with them but we didn't have time :/ So we didn't take in the end :/ But we took another one without Samuel + Nicholas :/

Cried on the bus back to nanyang ):

Told Ms Teng all Samuel's jokes haha so funny xD I told Mrs Chang that we found someone who could suit her perfectly (in terms of jokes)!! xD Oh and we were comparing Nicholas' and Samuel's handwriting in our NYAA booklet xD Thanks Samuel for the really nice and encouraging comments plus super inspiring quote in my nyaa booklet (: Really appreciate it!! :D

Cousteau picture! (After :D)

Bleh okay shall edit and add more stuff another time :D

Bye :D

 On a brighter note,

Thinking Day Parade was great, my voice didn't crack, our hentaking was okay (even though our squad suddenly panicked during the last practice -.-) and (most) of our bangs were quite solid (:

Oh and thankyou juniors for your nice huge card!! :D :D Haha the juniors are so sweet! <3 
Why am I always taking?

I'm really really really proud and honoured to be part of Nanyang Guides! <3
I'm sorry I know I've let you down.


MRP was okay, Q&A wasn't too bad I guess, really hope we get into finals! Ms Chooi is so nice she gave us a cup :D And Mrs Ho was so cute haha she hid her food behind Laiteng xD

Batch brunch was fun-n-n-n-n I LOVE BATCH 07!<3 Thanks so much Evie for ordering the pizza + planing everything! Really appreciate your enthusiasm in organising the activity! (:

Vanessa/Evie/Chermain I want the pictures we took today please! :D


I shall type incoherently now:
Yay yay yay sat on the bus there with Kahmun! (: Huimin happily took a picture of the bus driver -.- Sitting in the indoor stadium with SherylSeah is traumatic! (Okay that was a hyperbole!) Getting lost at SIS is scary! Having the responsibility of 7 juniors following you and expecting you to take them safely to the MRT is heavy! 
& that basically summed up my day (:





Being a senior, it's different.

Perspectives.



P/S JEANNNN GET WELL SOON OKAY!!!!!! OH AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! IT JUST REACHED 12AM!!!!! Tsk ohman so sad you're sick on yuor birthday ): Bleh nevermind get well soon person! & maybe when you get well you'll lose your mean and bullying side! xD

I think I'm a horrible senior/junior/batchmate/classmate/friend/everything ):

Sorry to everyone who didn't get  a valentine's day gift from me even though you got me one.


Everyone around me's treating me rather well, and show their feelings through the little things they do. But what do I do? I just simply accept, but never return anything. I'm really really really sorry everyone ):



For once, I'm at a loss of words.
(Anyway, I don't think anyone reads this now, I haven't updated in ages.) 


I don't know why I can't seem to prioritise the important things (and people) in my lives.
I take those who truly care about me for granted, but yet I hold dear those who are just mere passerby-s in my life and who do not truly bother.
I treasure the memories of those who have forgotten them long ago but yet carelessly throw aside memories that are worth remembering.
Why am I still holding on?
Everytime I hope I end up disappointed. 
Everytime I wish I return downcast.
Everytime I think I end up hurt.



I just want to say thank you to everyone who cares about me (:




P/S I think the tension between us is really awkward now, I just need a bit of time to get used to the idea, I'm sorry for ignoring you everytime I see you. It's just so hard to adapt and speak to you just becuase I feel like I'm obliged to. It was always a one sided conversation on my part anyway. Then again, why can't you take the initiative? Why are all the expectations on me? Why am I always expected to do certain things just for you?


Sorry, just felt like I needed to get everything off my chest.

School is getting pretty...heavy :/

We've got lots o things due on tuesday!! Which is sad ): Haha but we're going ot have the cool Greek festival thing which should be quite fun :D

Oh and it doesn't help that we end 50 minutes later than nearly everyone on thursdays :/

We-ell I think my class isn't too bad the atmosphere is great for studying/concentrating during lessons :D Oh and I'm enjoying geog lessons hoorayyy!!! :D :D :D

Haha okay that's all I don't feel like blogging already byebyeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~

HAHA I'M WEIRDLY HIGH NOW :D :D :D 
 
YOU KNOW WHY :D :D :D

IT'S COS I CAN BE A VOLUNTEER FOR THE YOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

WHOOHA I'VE WAITED FOR THIS SINCE AFTER OLYMPICS LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but too bad it's with the guides only so Adelyn i can't do with you like i told you last year ):

BUT ANYWAY ANY BATCHMATE WANTS TO HELP OUT IN THE EVENTS WIHT ME? :D :D :D :D

WHOOO OKAY SUPER HIGHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~

OH VANESSA WE'RE PATROL MATES!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D



PS Love story by Taylor Swift's really nice! (:
YOG!! <3

Back to blogging! :D Wow I haven't posted so quickly in a while (: I've suddenly got a motivation to post about the first day of school :D

Amanda called when I reached school so I didn't have to sit in front of the class like a weird loner!! :D Haha thanks so much Amanda (:

Okay suddenly lost the mood to blog O:

Hm first day of school was well better than expected and I think my class is not too bad (: Well at least there aren't too many names to remember cos we're small! :D We've already got a class blog how scary (and cool xD) is that O: Hm but I think I haven't talked to some people yet O: Scary luh :/ Our timetable is really packed and frightening!!! But on Wed we end at 1.45 hooray :D No late days that end at 3 anymore!!! (:

Spent recess/lunch with 211 peeps like Adelyn Shiaowei Belinda Hiutung Susi Vivian GraceK, weird how it seems like we become more bonded when we're separated and not in the same class anymore. I love 211 loads! <3 (That reminds me I've got to settle chalet funds O: )

Had alot of talks about OBS/NYAA D: NYAA seems so...weird. I always thought it was for seniors but to think that now we ARE the seniors seems different ;/ I don't know what skill to learn! Haha I don't mind volunteering to be a police officer how cool is that :D Ohoh I'm OBS Rep yayy (; OBS seems kinda cool despite the jetty jumps/trust falls/stuff that you need to jump down from a height :/ Well actually that's quite a huge part of OBS but nevermind! I hope I get in a watch with a batchmate! :D We'll be sleeping in A tents!! (I think) Super excited neer slept in an A tent before! I've always gotten the Canvas ): Like Jinhui and Cheryee and Evie!!
Ohwells (:

It kind of feels weird to be starting school in a totally new environment, I realised that I never ventured beyond the second floor and that was only to pass Tania the doorgifts. :/  My classroom's the Infrared classroom!!! :DDD You know when i first walked out of class I half expected to see the Camp scoreboard + thankyou board in front of 401 :/

I don't feel sec3 yet! :/ Gah maybe when we start cca the 'feeling' will come :D Can't wait for cca to start! (: Jiayou orientation concert people! :D

Hooray I'm done! (I think) I've got no more mood to blog anyway so byebye :D

HELLO EVERYONE :D

HAPPY NEW YEARRR :D

I know I'm rather slow but better late then never! :D
Shall set New Year's resolutions! I know it's cliched but well, who cares (:

Michelle's new year's resolutions!

1. Don't lose my temper so much ):
2. Do my best in cca as a patrol second;
3. Get msg of 1.33 and above;
4. Get at least A2 for chinese!

Okay can't think of anymore at the moment.

Hm super scared about tmr!! Yujie has training and Amanda has psl stuff so I probably have to find my way to the class myself ): I'm really very scared I hate making new friends/doing self-introductions and stuff ): Furthermore alot of them already know each other already and it's going to be a bit weird! ): Give me courage, Lord (:

Haha on a lighter note i'm nearly done with doorgifts! :D I've got one left! (actually it's two but I lost the front part of the last one D: ) So sorry Tania! Yay meeting up with batchmates tmr morning! :D Hooray I love batch 07 <3

Ohoh and Apologise is no.1 on 987's top 100! Wow okay I thought Crush would be no. 1 but it's no.9 ): Ohwells nehmind :D

Tada I'm done posting at this dead blog :D Haha I lost the mood to blog so byeeeee~~

Hello :D

I'm back from camp!! ( i know this is late but hey I started writing this post very long ago okay!!)

I must say it was certainly more enjoyable than I expected (I'm sorry I was fretting over subcamp stuff at the last minute so my expectations got lowered alot D: ) Yeah and I don't think I'll ever forget it (: It was a veryvery different experience from Radiate'07, and a huge change from being just a normal secone in the patrol to being head of the whole subcamp, & I've learnt not to be so dependent on seniors/batchmates for stuff. Being subcamp ic was definitely a unique experience and I want to say thankyou to everyone who made this camp possible! The sec3s, seniors, ma'ams, Xiaoen, Sarah, Lingxin etc. (: Yeah lazy to go into details but without you all the camp would be veryvery different (:

Okay initially I didn't want to do dedications but now I'm in the mood so here they are! :D

Firstly, special thanks goes to Sihui! :D

For always being the calm and steady subcamp ic unlike me -.- and working together in subcamp stuff! & apple :D For making this camp alot more enjoyable for me! <3 Thanks for all the help in the gadgets and what not, especially during those meetings when I had to rush up and down during my 5 minute breaks during journalism course and you had to handle alot of things by yourself :/ Haha after this camp I really think I understand you better (: Yay infrared! <3

Next to Jinhui! :D

THE BEST PL EVER (: Thanks for all your SUPERDUPER detailed proposals, and always putting in your best in whatever you do for the patrol (: Thanks for always being the one organising stuff despite your BP Quest (: Sorry if I've been rather slack during precamp preparation :/ & I hope your tiny wounds with alot of blood are okay now! O: You've been a great camp partner and I'm proud to say I belong in the same patrol as you! -hint- 29th dec! -hint- xD I LOVE APPLEEEEEEE! <3

Abigail! :D

Thanks for being such a great PS (: You've really done alot for this patrol and put in alot of time and effort (: Thanks for being always enthusaistic and excited during every activity, and always being there to encourage us! You really did a very good job in keeping everyone's spirits up throughout the whole camp & precamp prep. (: Hope your sorethroat is better now kay! :D

Xinhui! :D

Thanks for being such an enthu secone! :D You were the best timekeeper+healthgirl rolled into one! :D You were always ready and prepared to try new things and you were always the first one to volunteer for anything :D Well done and keep up the good work! Thanks for cheering me up when I felt down, encouraging me throughout the camp etc.! :D You did very well in the subcamp campfire item too! Thanks alot! :D

Jiayu! :D

Thanks for being a very great sec1 too! :D You were always very enthu and stuff (: Thanks for always offering your help when we needed it, and I realised that you've learnt how to take more initiative too! :D Hope your sorethroat is better now, and that you've gotten over the sad thing (: It's a bu neng shuo de mi mi between the patrol kay!! :D You were really great in the subcamp campfire item too! :D Thanks so much for your effort and everything! :D

Peixuan! :D

Thanks for being a very helpful sec1 too! :D You were always present throughout all the subcamp and patrol meetings, really appreciate that (: And you never complained about anything throughout the camp (: Hope your blisters are better now,a nd sorry if I overlooked you sometimes ): Next time you must talk more kay! :D Thanks for doing such a good job in the campfire item too (:

Cheryee! :D

Thanks for being the fellow high sec2! Though I was a bit bu shuang with you during campfire item, I hope everything's okay now and thanks for putting in your effort! Sorry if I was a bit pushy when I asked you to memorise your lines :/ Anyway thanks for always being there to laugh with and be high with! :D

June, Soochin, Marsha! :D

Thanks for being such great sec3s, always ready to help when we need you! We really appreciate everything you've done for our patrol! During canvas tent set up and everything, thanks for helping out (: And to Soochin thanks for helping out during turfing!! When we were really stuck :/ Thanks to June for your really touching email too and Marsha for your constant support! :D  

Xiaoen, Sarah Lingxin! :D

Thanks for being such great CCs and ACCs(: Without you, this camp would not have happened and thank you for everything you have put in for us! :D Really appreciate your hard work and everything, to Xiaoen and Sarah, for trying to help us draw the key despite the fact that we (the subcamp ics) were always very last minute, to Lingxin, for helping me alot with the flagpole design! Thanks to Xiaoen for encouraging me after trust fall too :D

Okay I'm going to be leaving the house in 25 minutes so I better hurry. I'll stop here for now but I promise I appreciate everyhitng everyone has done for me! :D Especially those people who encouraged me during trust fall (not sure of a lot cos I wasn't wearing my specs -.-)

APPLE PATROL FTW! <3

& INFRARED! :D ou know what to me I really feel that Bluetooth deserved the best subcamp award more than us :/ As in our subcamp wasn't really THAT bonded :/ I'm sorry infrared but I still love you guys okay!)
I feel the need to go into details for the activities if not I'll forget it all. But if I post it here at least I can still refer to it when I feel nostalgic or whatever (: Eh but that shall come later! (: I'll make this post public first yay :D

Ending with a song!

Apple 在 camp 一起过

PS: I still smell like the restaurant where we ate, O:

Today's the last official day of school, and it was spent being busy most of the time so I had no time to feel emo -.-

Taking a quick break before getting busy again, must hurry :/

I think it's seriously been great knowing 211. Though I don't treasure the times we have had as much as I do for guides, & I don't feel the same sort of uhm connection(?) to 211, but you guys have made a significant impact in my lives (: We're not the most bonded class ever, but hey, we're all sorta connected in a weird way (:

Emcee-ing is finally over!!! :D Haha okay sorry I sort of don't want it to be over because everything suddenly seems so...final. That there's no turning back now :/ I liked the words used in one of the speeches. Standing in the wings, waiting to come out, somehow those words moved me (:

Made totally stupid mistakes during the ceremony, like saying 'school song' instead of 'graduation song' -.- Okay that was really O: But yeah nehmind bah forget and forget (:

Lol Rachael Zhuoya and I were high-ing backstage during the breaks we had, haha totally weird luh xD

Tadum done :D Thanks to the teachers who have helped in the whole emcee thing yeah(:



Etched in my heart always; I'll carry these memories and treasure them no matter where I go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOMANZXS!!

Okay so sorry I didn't post earlier and I couldn't go out with you on friday but you should know I love you lots yeah :D

I LOVE YOU LAMER! :D

(o.O) Inside joke haha(:



This is a super old pic (it was taken on your birthday last year OO: ) Haha cos I'm lazy to connect my phone to the comp xD

Thanks for everything lamer! :D

Had farewell yesterday,

Shall talk about handover first, I DIDN'T MESS UP OO: Okay whew I was so scared I would time wrongly or something and make a fool of myself >< But I didn't :D Okay whew(:

Yeah it just feels totally weird now, to know that the sec4s are no longer part of the cca, and that, I don't know.

Okay anyway thanks batchmates for putting up such a great performance <3 I think the qi4 fen4 was quite high when we were performing, and considering that we didn't even do a full run once, it's not bad :D Anyone has pictures? Couldn't take cos I was performing ):

Patrol corner everything was quite okay. Ohman so sad we won't be having a patrol corner with the sec4s anymore ): [I just realised its not in chronological order but nevermind] The food was nice :D Haha suat teng and her satays (: Sunflower '08 <3 Though Charis and Xinyi weren't there D:

Lala then the concert and everything, i cried during the hugging ): I totally didn't want to cry luh, I was struggling to hold back the tears. When I first started hugging people like jean and evelyn I already felt like crying ): Then our batch was thanking zihui and I couldn't bring myself to say 'thank you and goodbye ma'am' and i ran aside and started crying.  ): sorry, but saying that seems like, i don't know ):

thanks batchmates for cheering me up and everything when i was crying. sorry if i made anyone cry! i think i was [edit] one of the first sec2s to cry [/edit], gah. D:

After that took bus home with jean, ohman I'm gonna miss you alot ): Thanks for comforting me in the conf room & everything yeah<3 Then after she left the bus I started tearing again, gah I can't imagine not taking bus with her next year howwwww ): Oh shucks I feel like crying again stop it michelle ):

Went home & read the letters everything, Zihui's letter made me cry like don'tknowwhat ): Thanks to everyone who gave me something yeah! :D

Okay tada end of post I feel tired I still have to prepare for emceeing and watching the dvd thingum.

Just wanna say thankyou to all the sec4s for everything they've done in nygg yeah. Especially to our FCs, for always believing in batch'07. <3!




what if?
