After so long, we finally got a dog. I remember we first asked for one when I was P4, in Europe. We saw this really adorable puppy on the street and pestered my dad to get us one. Initially he agreed and we got so excited over it that we actually already thought of a name- Vegas. However, back in Singapore, somehow we were not allowed to get one. It was like bursting our bubble.BUT.WE'VE GOT A DOG NOW. IT'S A PRETTY SCHNAUZER BOY AND HE'S CALLED VEGAS. IT'S A DREAM COME TRUEEEEEEE. (:And what's bad is that I cant find my xizi book, damn it.

I BET ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING A VIGIL ON THE NEWS, IN HOPE OF AN EXTENSION OF HOLIDAYS.
DREAM ON, PEEPULLLLLLL. WAKE UP WAKE UP.
This is how I spent my last day of the holidays:
SIP discussion with BRIDGET TWIDDLEDEE. As usual, she was late so poor me waited alone at Starbucks for her. 6 minutes late. But well this is one of her best.
Today was quite productive I must say. We completed SIP except for the reflections part, and we listened to a lot of music.
After SIP, we went to get food at British Take Away. That was when we saw a Malay lady complaining/shouting to her friend about this Chinese guy. Bridget attempted to eavesdrop while I was forcing her to finish up quick and go. But anyway I was rather pissed off with that lady. Judging by everything that she was shouting, that problem seemed to be a small one but she was making a big fuss over it. Probably to gain attention. Well congratulations because she made it. Many people were looking at her directions. She said a classic phrase which I think I will not share with you guys because it's way too yea-you-know-what-dont-you.
Nice Bridget accompanied me with my flipflop and wallet-hunting. Thank you. It's fabulous spending my last day of holiday with you and SIP.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE. HAPPY LAST-DAY-OF-HOLIDAY, CHILDREN. SLEEP EARLY, WAKE UP EARLY AND BE ATTENTIVE IN CLASS OR MRS KANG WILL SCOLD YOU AHAHAH. BRING YOUR THERMOMETER AND TRAVEL DECLARATION FORM OR MRS KANG WILL SCOLD YOU EVEN MORE TMR.
Congratulations Bellancans, we have 3 periods of Chinese at the start of the day tomorrow. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE SCIENCE WITH MR TAN YONG CHYE AGAINNNNNNN:D:D:D (Please recall how he made us hold hands and shake like molecules last year HAHA!)

I was on Facebook a moment ago and I came across a note about our school principal, Mr Sng.
In case many of you havent read it, here's what it is about: (P.S. I copied and pasted the translation from an ex-Dunmanian who commented on the note.)
At a panel conducted by various principals for a Chinese Schools Association forum,
a "challenge" was issued to Dunman High by an ex-principal of Chinese High.
He urged Dunman High to “加把劲”, or to pull up its socks/jia you/stive for improvement so as to give Hwa Chong abit of pressure, “让华中不断提升，创造双赢的局面” (so as to let Hwa Chong continually improve, creating a win-win situation)
In response, Mr Sng related a personal anecdote. Before the Beijing Olympics, he visited China and saw an enormous advertising billboard. The image was that of an African sprinter, and Mr Sng was curious as to why the tagline was in English and not Chinese. The tagline was “The person to beat is not the one in front but the one inside.”
This, Mr Sng said, was the creed/ideal by which Dunman High operated by. If DHS should someday exceed Hwa Chong, that would be the result of their efforts. However, it would never be the motivation for striving.
It is very true that DHS isnt one of the schools people will think of whenever good schools are mentioned. However, there is just this part of DHS which I feel beats every other schools- we have an awesome principal.
What more do I have to say? We Dunmanians all know Mr Sng and how special, unique and different he is.
9:05 AM
BEACH DATE WAS AWESOME.
Althought I was late for about 15 minutes because:
1) My dad and I were busy watching the news of Michael Jackson's death,
2) On the way to ECP, I realised that I forgot to bring the fruits for picnic.
We first had our picnic by the sea and gossiped a lot. When we realised that we didnt have any hot topics about school to talk about (since we havent been to school for almost a month now), we switched to playing an abbreviation game that Sabbie introduced. I, as usual, lost the game and was initially dared (by Daryl) to intrude into someone else's tent to say hi, which I didnt, of course. I was then made to go up to a boy, ask him if he knew a guy called "Brendon", and even when that guy says no, I was supposed to continue saying "Yea, yea, that guy, that guy." But I am not Daryl, which explains why I wont do such a thing. So I merely went up to the guy, asked him if he knew of a Brendon and because he has the Taonan School-look, I asked him if he was from TNS and true enough, he is. Smart me.
When the food ran out, we decided to cycle. Daryl and I were kind enough to teach Sabbie how to cycle. Isnt it cool how it was with us when Sabbie first cycled? Yea absolutely.
Along the way,
1) Sabbie met her Prince Charming who was learning to cycle too,
2) Daryl and I kept stopping & turning back for Sabbie,
3) Sabbie fell but picked herself up (love you Sabbie),
4) We stopped by the hawker centre to have a drink (and worrying that our bikes would be stolen),
5) We cycled past the Cable-Skiing area which reminds me of how my relatives, Shilee and I almost went to try it out,
6) Our butts hurt,
7) NS men were training (jogging) and Daryl spotted a guy who didnt complete his run and cheated by turning back while the rest werent looking,
7) Daryl drank the bottle of Polar water which was given to us and kept complaining about how disgusting it was,
8) Daryl just couldnt make sharp turns and kept gasping when another bike was close to her,
9) The sun was glaring but thanks to Mel's sunblock, Im (for once) not sunburnt,
10) We enjoyed ourselves.
Afterwards we went to HK Cafe and met Daryl's mommy and her brother Garyl there. Garyl kept me amused by teaching me what horse-coming people actually meant, while Daryl was demonstrating Arthur's italic handwriting to her mom.
Accompanied my daddy Babe to the hawker centre for dinner. He's pretty affected by Michael Jackson's death and is currently listening to his songs now. :(

No mood at all to do my LA essay now.
And so Im here to talk about the latest Facebook note that I've done.
It's like this- people who are tagged are supposed to write about one memory with me. Here it goes:
Xintian: Haha, you were clinging onto me throughout the entire SConquer nightwalk and LOL "HEY AUNTIE". :P Much love ♥
(Haha yes I was practically holding onto XT throughout the whole nightwalk and crying. If not for her I would have backed out like a chicken would.)
Fanghua: hmm. i remember us going crazy over fb quizes in YEAR1. we do the bitchy quizes and compare the answers. we always get a good laugh, because i am bitchier. anyway, i bet you know you aint suitable to be a bitch, that's why you are TRYING to become more angelic. IT'S NOT WORKING!
(Haha! Oh well. That's Fanghua for us. We used to go gaga over FB quizzes. We talked a lot on msn and laughed over silly FB results. Year 1 days.)
Ervin: erm...let me think...OH!before eds night when you all prank called and texted me about flowers...scared me though-.-
(Yea man. The 5 of us were super bored before EDS Night so we decided to prank call Ervin and texted him all sorts of stupid texts like asking him to bring a basket of bread for us.)
Yiren: hmm... i remembered stealing straws from you during the games during orientation. Haha i think you were chasing behind cos i heard running steps.
(Indeed. The very first time I got to know Yiren, he already started to disturb me like he still does now. But I must say he has his good side too. That's when he teaches me Math.)
Shilee: Swimming pool. Jacuzzi. Yes, figure it out by yourself.
(Short and sweet. And you guys dont have to know what's going on because it's way too embarrassing for me to say it.)
Sinyee: Hmmmmm. I can't remember where and when but its the times when we were discussing how alike we are, our coughHEIGHTcough, and then we went on to talk about abc's. HAHA :D
(Haha I love you dearest senior cum twin sister cum everything. I always love talking to you because we always find something common between us each time we talk.)
Sabbie: Wow, we are full of memories :D There is, potato chip buying in year one,gossiping, "Why are you so ugly?","I didnt know you still existed", "Why are your eyes so big?", "Your head is an inverted triangle",Joseph Lee Jien Ming -.-, Snow white blah blah blah blah blah :D My classic sentences rock man
(Yea we do have LOADS of memories huh. All your classic phrases. I particularly love "Why are you so ugly?!" and Joseph Lee Jian Ming the cool lion dancer.)
Raey: I'll always rmb you as my Maureen LOL :D
(Hahaa yes and EDS Camp 2009 yea! You guys were such great fun!)
Melody: I will never forget how you used to always copy whatever Erjie and I said when we were young, and how we got irritated by you and complained to Dad. LOL! Okay lahhh. I've known you all my life and we share lots of fun times together. Disneyland, holidays, random eatouts, clearing my wardrobe (and you get the gains!), "doting" on your younger brother... ;)
(Haha I seriously dont remember the part on me copying you but I do remember my 'bell' and 'brown' joke. Yea definitely, all the sisters (and ey) outing, nail polishes, bangles, necklaces, clothes, and everything!)
Kiatshing: remember everytime when i just stare right into your eye, into your world. hahaha, im kidding.HM. the road from ECP to parkway parade. hahaha, you are such a R_ _ _ _ _ , and bugging me bout ghost stories.there you go, my adorable pet pet on FB forever k. HAHA ;D
(Yea walking from ECP to PP with you was kinda fun because you were so hilarious and I always loved seeing your oh-my-gosh reaction whenever I reveal the answers to the riddles. Hahaa yea and of course, the Friends for Sale on FB.)
Tobias: I CANT RMB! HAHA.besides, spamming your tagboard with jerrold.and "is 1+1=2?" "YAP!"hahahah. xD
(Hahaa the spams from you Astra people are so memorable I know I'll never forget. And how you guys rushed to me in the canteen and asking me to check out my blog.)
Puiying: Which should I say? We share jokes and get damn excited when we see certain people?
(Yea we do have many many jokes. One of which includes our all-time favourite, puddles. In SGSS yea!)
Binggeng: hahaha! Hmm... should it be the naming all your eds friends after eds camp, or the history lesson at comp lab one?...XD
(Hahaha! I like the history lesson one. You were so blur you actually believed me. I thought you would mention how I approached Mrs Kang to ask about you during open house when you were tending your Humanities (ahaha) booth in the library. And how I very kindly waited with you.)
Bridget: um uncountable? haha. totato, the thick eyebrow, valentine's letter, SYF, our yr 1 olympic, eds night, me bugging you for fries from superdog, me teasing you about your silly phone, me getting jealous over your new phone, me complaining about having the same piano pieces with you, me dancing clique dance, me drawing colour marks all over your hand, etc etc:D
(Yesssss there are too many to mention. WAY TOO MANY. You left out our dearest minnie mouse. And the i-love-you text to COUGHCOUGHCOUGH. We have many many more to go, Bridget!)
Jerrold: haha weilee. is 1 + 1= 2 YAPPPPPPPPPP!!!
(Haha you crazy guys during orientation. Haha I miss orientation when we had so much fun as a class.)
So much memories with so many people. Sometimes it's people like you that drive me on. (:

Phew finally progressing in our RS History. -CLAPS AND CHEERS-
While discussing, we saw Mr Yeo. No actually he saw us. I wouldnt have noticed him if not for him approaching us because he was carrying a huge box and well, yea.
Lunched with Bridget and she was totally JEALOUS of my new phone. (Note: Jealous, not envious.) WELL BRIDGET, I CAN SEND YOU SONGS ANYTIME YOU WANT! -grins- She told me about how Euyang texted her secretly and even asked her not to tell me. Hahaa oh well poor Euyang does not have my url so he wont be reading this and I really hope there are no idiots out there who are intending to tell Euyang behind my back.
Library (Children's section) tyrant
Bridget's parents picked us up, with Beatrice and Beal in the car. Bridget's angry because:
1) Beatrice likes my phone,
2) Beal said he didnt like Bridget,
3) Aunty Cindy said she would not get Bridget another phone,
4) She cant open music sent from my phone,
5) Which is why I keep offerring to send her songs.
Beal was clinging on to a small bolster and so I took it from him. Beatrice and Beal stared at me intently while Bridget asked why I took the bolster. Then Beal finally told me, "I passed urine on it before." Haha! Bridget was so thrilled upon hearing that. What a sadist.
Haha Bridget and I were talking about Paris & Milan just now. It's the coolest show on Channel 8, the only show on Channel 8 that Im chasing. Shilee aka Karen loves it more than you can ever imagine. I love all Patricia Mok's role, especially xiaolongnv and Dr Gigi Lee. HAHAHA! The thought of it makes me wanna laugh. Catch it every Thursday, 8.00pm on Channel 8. ;)
Yesterday was my sisters' birthday party. Their birthdays are just one day apart, cool huh. No, stupid, they are not twins. HAPPY SWEET 16 TO SL AKA KAREN AND HAPPY GOING-TO-ADULTHOOD TO MEL. Both in advance.
More party pictures to be uploaded after Mel sends me the pictures.
PS. Our dearest Fanghua was really crappy yesterday. Was chatting with him on MSN and I told him I had to go to get ready for the party. Then he said, "Yea lah you all everytime party party. Angmohs. Then we Chinese stay home to drink tea." HAHA. Firstly, everyone parties. Secondly, Chinese dont just stay home to drink tea!
PPS. Karen and I now have the same phones FOR THE SECOND TIME!:D
Friday, June 19, 2009
New phone, new phone.
Now people like Bridget, Daryl, Desirae and Sabrina have not reason to laugh/gloat at my laggy old phone.
Now I wont have to wait for minutes before my text opens.
Now I wont get disconnected while talking to Bridget on the phone.
Now I can take better quality pictures with my phone.
Now I wont have to tape the back of my phone to keep it there.
WOOHOO NEW PHONE.
Shilee's getting the same phone as me. Hahaa for the second time! :D
Thursday, June 18, 2009
Kiatshing and I were chatting on MSN yesterday on Facebook chat and I asked him about his brother. So of course we linked to ghostly areas like redhouses, OCH etc. And somehow redhouse just remind me of Timmy, I dont know why.
And so I suddenly recalled all the crazy things that my crazy cousin Timmy did on me.
1. Shilee and I stayed over at his place during the holidays. We were having lunch and as I left the dining table, he dropped a mushroom into my drink. Nice cousin.
2. One day he came to me and say this: HEY! IM BORN IN THE YEAR 1994 WHILE YOU'RE BORN IN THE YEAR 1995. 1995 IS BIGGER THAN 1994, SO DOESNT THAT MAKE YOU OLDER THAN I AM?
3. He changed his MSN screen name, display picture and personal message to the same as mine and came to talk to me online. Being young and stupid and ignorant, I thought my MSN account was possessed and did not realise it was him until a few minutes later.
4. When I was P3 and was studying for my very first Science exam in my entire life, he called me on my home phone. "Science exam tomorrow right? Let me ask you a question- If you move a torch further away from the wall, will the shadow be bigger or smaller? I said bigger. So he said, "Good, you'll definitely pass your Science exam with flying colours. Bye." (True enough, I scored 98/100 for that exam.)
5. His recent game is to go on WebSMS and start spamming my inbox, knowing how laggy my phone is and how long it takes to just open a text.
You know, there are just too many tricks that he played on me that I cant list all out. Oh oh oh one more thing. He gave me a pair of socks for x'mas 2 years back.

Sanpeng texted me yesterday night to ask me if I was back from Genting. Turned out that he heard about the overturned coach and so wanted to make sure I was still here. Haha thank you Sanpeng :D
Hi Bridget I've decided to help you with your pathetic blogskin and I promised I'll find a blogskin for us soon although I know I keep delaying but still...
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Back from Genting on Sunday.
This trip wasnt as interesting as the rest, probably because we've been there so many times and there was nothing new. So nothing much to blog about it. Pictures will be up soon.
Today was the SC outing which was really fun. Met Florence and went to Macdonalds to wait for the rest. Yusiang and Fabian were already there. Then Kiatshing and all came, and he showed me messages by his stalker. Hahaa I called that person and now that person is irritating me instead.
We played at the beach- murderer, tian cai fa ming de da zhuan ju (or something like that) and some tiutiu game that Xintian introduced. Volleyball-ed and cycled. Walked to Parkway Parade for dinner. Kiatshing and I were exchanging jokes and riddles and ghost stories on the way. He didnt believe the toilet story which Sanpeng told me. Oh well. He also said I didnt behaved like my age- I am more mature, apparently. And it's not the first time Im hearing it. I remember Joelle once thought that I was Year 4. Wow. Year 4.
Had dinner at Delifrance and Crazy Cassandra was totally obssessed with attempting to take artistic shots. And hi Yusiang, this part is dedicated to you. Fabian, Cheryl and Kiatshing prefer the RED camera to the BLACK one yay yay.
Went home with Yiren and Yiting. Yiren kept critising me as usual. And Yiting's responses to my riddles were so hilarious. 
Wow I just realised my sentences are all so short and disgusting and uninteresting. Not in the mood to blog I guess. Was planning to do my LA journal but moved to talking to Bri on the phone instead.
Phew I just arent in the mood to blog.
Bye.
I want another SC outing before school starts please.
OH HELLO SINYEE I LOVE YOU FOR HAVING SO MANY THINGS IN COMMON WITH ME YEA! THIS PART IS FOR YIREN TO SEE TOO, HE JUST CANT STOP HARPING ON HOW ALIKE WE ARE. LOVE YA TAN SINYEEEEE!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
HI WORLD I'LL BE OFF TO GENTING AND WILL BE BACK ON SUNDAY.
MISS ME YEA.
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
HAHAHA BRIDGET IS SO AMUSINGLY CUTE MAN.
Was talking on the phone with her a moment ago and updating her of joker's 2 other new idols. Then she asked me,
"How to watch BOF one huh?!"
HAHAHAHA CUTE RIGHT?! For once.
Anyway,
HI EDS BABIES. OUR DATE IS POSTPONED TO WEEK 4 OF THE HOLS BECAUSE OUR DEAR FAIRY IS BUSY ON WEEK 3 AND DEAR DINO DES IS AWAY.
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
I bet many of you havent been checking your DHS mail. Well, you should really go check it out right now because our dearest Mr Swee sent us an email. The farewell email he was telling us that day yea. You can ignore the other emails BUT Mr Swee's email is a must to read. Go read it now.
Reading his email again makes me reminisce the days with him as our LA teacher. I miss all his self-praises and his singing, his effort put into teaching us and his long comments on our scripts, his stories which are not related to LA and his jokes. I thoroughly enjoyed LA lessons with him and I cant imagine having Ms Kheng back into class. I dont mean anything, just that Mr Swee is a really wonderful teacher.
And then there was that memorable night when all of us went to watch Much Ado About Nothing at Fort Canning Park. He sat next to us and constantly explained the plot to us just so we understand and could appreciate. During the intermission, Bellancans surrounded Mr Swee and started singing to him. We gave him the cake, the scrapbook and all our love. We embarrassed him in front of everyone else, but I know he appreciated it anyway.
Mr Swee cant possibly be seeing this but still, a bigggg thank you to you, Mr Swee! You've taught us so much that we just cant thank you enough. You are the best LA teacher ever. Let's just hope that we dont rebel Ms Kheng when she comes back!
(I've got lots of Swee's pictures in hand but Swee insisted to see the pictures before I upload. Keep coming back to this post for updates!)
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Finally progressing in SIP.
Met Bridget at Compasspoint. This time, surprisingly, she was not that late. We bought Soya ice cream (Charlotte?:D) although Bridget didnt appreciate it. We were talking about SC Camp. Jaywalking is a crime huh? ;)
Today's discussion was quite productive. In fact, one of the most productive discussions I ever had. We wrapped up our discussion at 3pm, take that. Bridget and I then headed down to SUPERDOG for lunch. She was pleading me for my cheese fries. Just like how Euyang would have. -hinthint-
Haha then another amusing encounter in the train which I do not bother typing it here since you have to be there to see it for yourself but oh well, let me just quote that line for me to reminisce.
"I clip up my fringe because my eyebrows are very thick."
Hahaaaa! Classic. Bridget so happen to hear it from her and couldnt stop laughing as she was trying to recount the incident to me. I ended up laughing with her without knowing what's going on. When I finally got to know what happened, I, too, could not help but laugh so hard I teared and had stitches.
Somehow train/bus rides with Bridget are always amusing.
What a joke.
Sunday, June 7, 2009
Wow guess what?
Last night I dreamt that Simon Cowell was dying.
Hey, what's wrong with dreaming that someone else is dying?
You cant control your dream, can you?
Well, Bridget once dreamt that I died too!
Haha.
Sabrina, please don't rejoice because it's not true.
Just a dream,
Fortunately:D
2:33 AM
Thanks to PSLTC and SC Camp, I am totally submerged in the holiday mood now.
Yesterday was planned to be productive after the symposium but as usual, it wasnt. I ended up watching HK drama for a li'l while, did a few Math sums and caught Failure to Launch on Channel 5. However, I felt so sleepy I didnt even finish watching Failure to Launch and I plunged down to bed.
Well but then again, holidays are meant for you to recuperate. Yea man.
Saturday, June 6, 2009
SConquer Camp 2009 was sucha fun you know that you wont wanna miss it.
My group is made up of Siyin, Felicia, Charlotte, Cheryl (Chau), Clement, Fabian and Peter. We got inspired by Peter's waterbottle which has a coconut tree print so Siyin suggested to name our group Coconut. Here's our coolio cheer: (in the tune of the coconut song, for those who know)
C-O-C-O-N-U-T,
We are stronger than you think.
Coconut (high),
Coconut (low),
Coconut (high),
Coconut (low),
Dadadadada,
COCONUT!
Yea I know we've got a cool cheer.
First day was all about games in the school. Pretty fun, especially the station where we had to pass the worm from a spoon to another. However, thanks to my wonderful toe + slippers, I couldnt run with my group and couldnt participate in a couple of games. Oh well.
Lunched with Bridget, Desirae, Janell, Lovell and Peter. Desirae probably thought that she was with only her girlfriends and started blabbering about girls stuffs. Then I remembered Peter was there. He was so awkward he just kept quiet. I stopped Desirae and there came Bridget, nonchalently talking about Janell's American-coloured and holy (hole-y)___. But Bridget's a different case- I can totally forget about trying to dissuade her from talking. Haha Peter left as soon as he finished his food.
Campaigning was next after lunch. It made me realise how fast time is flying. It seems like only yesterday when I joined the Council family and now the Year Fours are stepping down. I know Im gonna miss so many of them! :(
Dinner with the same people + Yurong and then NIGHT GAMES. Shit that was the WORST part of the camp. I swear. They started everything by switching off the LT lights and making us sit with one space empty next to us. To make things worse, I sat at the very last row. Fortunately, there werent enough space so I was allowed to sit next to dearest Xintian. Very soon, it was our group's turn to go on the nightwalk. As I read our route and saw the dark school, I totally wanted to back out, although I had XT, Sophin and Jinyu in my group. I eventually went for it but totally regretted.
First station was the LT and that's where I started to tear. Throughout the whole time I was closing my eyes/looking down and grabbing on to Xintian meanwhile. As everyone comforted me and asked me not to cry, I started crying. Next station was the classroom where Sumei and Junjie were. They were really comforting so thank you people! Third station was the female toilet and all I can say is that SIYIN IS SUPER BRAVE! Last station was the 6th storey. Nothing much to say because I was closing my eyes throughout. Only that I screamed when Jiateck dropped the doll down.
Honestly, I think the nightwalk didnt help me, despite the fact that it was meant for people like me to conquer our fears (of darkness). I was closing my eyes throughout and crying. Im not embarrassed to say that since the whole of SC already know that Im afraid of the dark. Anyway, THANK YOU TO ALL THE SCS WHO CAME TO COMFORT ME. ESPECIALLY MY GROUP + SUMEI AND JUNJIE WHO TEXTED ME AFTER THE NIGHTWALK!
Next day was the Amazing Race. It was really fun despite my disability- my toe. We were the last group to complete the first task so we ended up having to wait for 5o mins before we could leave. A few minutes before the 50 minutes, nice Kiatshing let us off because of my toe. Haha a blessing in disguise, indeed. First station was Fort Canning Hill. Reminded me of Much Ado About Nothing and Swee. Anyway, that station was all about running up and down flights of stairs, pumping and sit ups.
Next station was Cathedral of Good Shepherd, followed by Vivo City and then Lavender. Thanks to Sara who offered us the Mr Bean vouchers, we got tempted to eat the Soya ice cream so we dropped by Mr Bean @ Lavender MRT station although we were the last group. We were pretty cool about being the last and happily strolled with our ice cream. The Mr Bean addiction didnt stop there. Charlotte and I went to buy Mr Bean pancakes for lunch, haha!
(Sorry Yiren. This paragraph isnt meant to spite you or anything.) Yiren has been laughing at my plight (my toe and slippers) so what happened during lunch was that we met them and Bridget told me Yiren had his retribution. I dont know what happened to his neck but apparently he just couldnt move it. Hahaa. Ops.
After lunch was when we finally started to really play the game. We were trying to move as fast as possible but was pulled down by me. :( Suntec City was our next destination. We had a list of food to buy, which we managed to complete within a short period of time. After that was Botanic Gardens, then Queenstown Ikea and finally, back to school.
Our COCONUT group made it into the third position from the last (6th position) so WELL DONE, COCONUTS. Now, that's something I've learnt from the camp. Never give up till the very end, because you never know what's ahead of you!
Dinner with the whole SC @ KFC afterwards. I realised how much Lovell and Florence can click, haha. Then Cassandra came and changed her name in my phone contacts to THE GREAT CASSANDRA. -cough-
Headed to Sasha's house afterwards. I stepped in, only to hear Spongebob's song playing. For a moment I was really happy because it's been a long time since I watched Spongebob. But it turned out that the show ended as soon as I stepped in. Oh well. And Annabella irritated me a lot by constantly biting my bag.
We went to SAS together this morning because I had to attend the Hope for Vision symposium together with Floppy, Melanie, Lovell, Jiaxin, Daniel and Fabian who forgot to turn up in the end. Met Dr Jane Goodall and I feel really fortunate to have met her. The SPCA workshop left the greatest impact on me though.
Yea I know this is a long post so congratulate whoever who managed to read till here. I gotta do my Math now or someone -cough- will start scolding Her Highness. Hahaha.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
REMEMBER: YOU ARENT HERE TO SLOG. SO ENJOYYYYYYYYY.

PSLTC IS OVER.
I must say the camp has been really draining me out and I've been sleeping really early these days because of the camp. I broke record by sleeping at 7.45pm last night. Despite that, the camp has been rather fun for me and as a student facilitator, I've got some takeaways from the camp too.
Through this camp, I got to know many people better. This includes the SFs of Group 5- Vivian, Clement and Grace. I didnt quite know them initially, especially Clement. But after working with them these 3 days, we got to know each other better and I think they are great fun. (:
And then there are the primary school children/Tasmanian Devils in our group. Their names? Of course I remember-
1)Ryan who is so adorable and who became my wife after the game "Honey, will you marry me?",
2)Vishnu who has such beautiful eyes and is a really outspoken guy,
3)Alycia who is confident and outspoken,
4)Hannah who is super-duper-ultra-mega enthusiastic and bubbly,
5)Celeste who is tall and speaks well,
6)Sherry who hid my phone and thereafter laughed so hard she actually teared,
7)Huiyuen who is really quiet but did really great during the performance,
8) Siti who is so co-operative and helpfull
9) Natalie who started out really quiet but later on became really friendly
All of them have something unique among them and they left me such fond memories that I think I'd not forget them. Although you guys did not win the Championship, I feel that you guys are champions nevertheless for being so wonderfully great during the camp. Continue to shine as a leader and dont let that flame in you die out!
So that's PSLTC for you guys.
I was chatting with Bridget on the phone a while ago and we spent one hour catching up because I havent been really talking to her during PSLTC. She told me her perfect dream of mommy's boy asking her to go to Prom with her. HAHAHA joke of the century. Yea I know you dont know who mommy's boy is because it's so random you wont guess who we're referring to.
Okay Im getting tired. From all the laughing over the phone just now + PSLTC. Need to recharge for tmr's SC Camp + Symposium @ SAS on Saturday. There goes my first week of the vacations.
PS. Leave me a tag when you read this, Tasmanian devils!
PPS. Cassandra (Ng) and I had a great time talking to each other today. I told her one of my biggest secrets that only Bridget and YR knows. Haha but I know I can trust her;)
Photos will be up soon.

PSLTC starts today.
I took a bus to school today. Yiren boarded but couldnt see me because apparently Im too short for him to see. He sat two seats in front of me and so I scrunched up a piece of useless receipt and threw at him. Then he texted me and claimed that he didnt see me earlier on. Idiotically + Retardedly, we were texting during the bus journey and he told me that Hi-5 turned 10 years old. Haha!
PSLTC was kinda fun but overall tiring. I got Group 5, together with Vivian, Grace, Gordon, Jingpei and Clemont. Hahaha the primary school kids in our group decided to call themselves Tasmanian Devils hahah so cute. Things didnt start out good. Many were complaining about how boring it was blah blah blah but Im glad it got better later in the afternoon.
Lecture in the HAP Room was cool for Yiren and I because they played BGT. Susan Boyle, as usual. While he was marvelling at Amanda Holdens, I was wow-ing at Simon Cowell. Hahaha we're BGT fans and we love Susan Boyle, HOLLIE STEEL and of course, DIVERSITYYYYYYY.
Anyway here is the conversation between Clemont and Hannah during the concert prep. (By the way, Hannah is one of the primary school kids in our group.)
Hannah: How old are you?
Clemont: 15. She is 20. -points at me-
Hannah: What is the age range in this school?
Clemont: 13-18.
Hannah: HUH? Then how come she's 20 and still here?!
Hahahhaa Hannah was so cute.
Happy B'day Im all red now. Thanks to being under the sun with Yusiang throughout the game we mastered.
Ah. Off to start on my Math assignment. No more digressing, please!
PS. My Chinese file is found. It's been with Stephenie all the time and she just realised.
