Jalan raya with my malay class frens

we had our jalan raya today. as you know, from the previous post, i woke up at the crack of dawn to get home in time, then i so kancheong, reach meeting pt at 9.50, wen we supposed to meet at 10.20. wah, sianz. then, wait for them all, we only got going at 11. went to my hse first, as usual, ate roti jala/tirai/kirai whatever u wanna call it. then, went to sembawang, had finger foods, then went to choa chu kang, then i left them. cldnt tahan, i was just too sleepy and tired. u know every opportunity i had, i kept sleeping. haha. in the train, in the bus, stoning. seriously, i had a lack of sleep from the chalet. my eyes were red sumtimes, and i was so blur. lol. then after that, went home, from choa chu kang to novena, 40min, i slept, banged my head against the glass, mouth hanging open. haha. i was just so exhausted, drained. then got home, got guests.wah. help serve them. lucky never drop anything. then, after that, i got on my com, blogging, chatting. but half our journey time is for travelling. its seriously inefficient la, but as students without alternate forms of transport, we are forced to go with the flow. but it really wastes a lot of time. but i had fun, though it wasnt like last yr, when i finished at ard midnight. but still, it was great.

Class Chalet

my class chalet was so fun! this is the last year ill be with my S2 class, cos of streaming(boo) and well be split up into diff classes next yr. so then, this is like, our last gathering together as a class. it was so cool. we met in the morning, at pasir ris mrt stn, the whole grp of ard 28 of us, haha, then most of them went off first to the chalet, but i was waiting for two of my frens. so then, once they came, we had to find our way to the chalet area. omg, i swear if i can get lost in singapore, i really suck la. haha. but yeah, we got lost. we walked from pasir ris mrt to pasir ris park, circled the whole park, got tired, backtracked back to mrt stn, went the other way and tried to take the shuttle bus to costa sands pasir ris. so, were waiting there, but its an hourly shuttle, and it was baking hot, there wasnt a single soul apart from us; scary sia. then we decided that we'd take a cab, since it was so near. so we got there with like $3, so each person paid like, $1. then, we found the rest of our class, they played soccer(i dont), then went for lunch. since i wasnt having lunch, i stayed back with my friend to guard the bags, but i swear, it was so hot, i wanted to sleep so badly. walao, my other frens go lunch like, damn long ah. waited like, god knows how long. even though downtown east was just like 5min walk away. then, once they (finally) got back, the chalet was open, so we collected the keys, and settled down. after that, some of us(me included) went cycling. crazy. i went on a tandem bike with my fren, but i didnt know he was a daredevil cyclist la. i was like, cowering in the back seat, squealing and shouting warnings, haha. now i look back it was hilarious. but then, we slipped into mud, and fell, slid a bit. incredibly, my fren didnt get a single scratch on him, but i got an abrased arm, and a scraped knee, which is currently inconveniencing me. anyway, apart from that, my phone's screen also cracked. can u beat that? must have fell ON it, i presume. wah, damn suay leh. then, we biked, played at the playground(all got deprived childhoods one), until like, 5. then dropped off our bikes, went back to the chalet. then, i discovered the rest who didnt go cycling had gone shopping at DE, then some went swimming to cool down from cycling. then, after resting, at around 5.45, BBQ committee started lugging stuff to BBQ pit to start BBQing. thanks to my fren la, he got a marvellous fire going. in fact, he did it over-marvellously, haha. but i doubt we'd have been able to eat anythn without him in the first place. nice one! anyway, we started BBQing, all the way into the night, then our form teacher arrived, then ,we all like, ate and had fun la. then, like half of them went lan, then we were there, just a handful, chatting and eating. then some of them came back, then started filling water bombs. then those who came back late kena. it was so funny.i stood miles away. lol. then, after cleanup, they wanted to go to Ben &Jerry's for ice cream, but by the time we got there, it was already closed, so we had to settle for macs instead. had a vanilla cone, as usual. chatted. then, after that, went back to chalet. prepared for 'bed'. but we blared music, sang along, talk cock. as usual. i was up till like, 2 somethin in the morning, almost 3. then, fell asleep, then woke up at 6am, cos i had to leave earlier to go jalan raya with my friends after that. i barely got enuf sleep. but anyway, it was totally fun! i definitely enjoyed myself!

wacky wednesday

my wacky wednesday in question was on the 24/10. i was supposed to work on my portfolio. oh btw, i was shortlisted for the english language Talent Development Programme(TDP) in my school, which is like, an elite programme for the creme-de-la-creme in that particular subject. i was also shortlisted for maths/physics combo, but i'd already made up my mind. follow my interests and passion. so yeah, under my name, we had our interview times, but mine said nil, which meant i didn't need to go for an interview. ok. but the notice told us to submit our portfolio during interview. so i wondered, how to submit if no interview? ok maybe hand to school office. so i go to school. oh btw, after i filled up my form the previous night, i lost it. nvm, it was wrong anyway. then i go to school, get a new form, then i remember im supposed to fill in my marks, and i forgot to bring my report bk. so, my dad had to like, send me home (thank god im 15min from sch), i ran up, filled in the form, then dashed back down, back to school, went to the office and submitted my form. and heres the best part: apparently when u dun nd to go for an interview, u also dun nd to submit ur portfolio. and i wasted my life on my portfolio, meticulously photocopying my best pieces, hunting for them through the tunnels of time. god, they shd hv been more specific. wldn't hv killed them, wld it? idiots. so i wasted my wednesday morning, running back and forth.

last day of school

the last day of school was the day after ace camp, the 23rd of october. and what a crazy and hectic day it was. i swear, everything was out of order. report cards were still wrong, reprinting left , right and centre. everything was just disorganised. i was running here and there, fulfilling my last official day as chairman. haha. it was crazily fun, if u get that. anyway, i finally got my report card back.
















anyway, i guess i could say im ok with my results. im not exactly satisfied with them, but my parents said its ok, so i guess it is. picture uploading screwing up. great. anyway, yeah ok la. after that day ended, i went with some frens to far east to eat kfc haha, then went home. it was fun enuf. god only knows wat i did after that, it was like, a week ago.

ACE Camp

omg, ace camp was so fun!! it rocked. seriously.ok so anyway, it was held in Kluang, Johor. so this is supposed to be an adventure camp right? damn right it was! so many cool activities. first, we had rafting. totally screwed. haha. at least our raft didn't disintegrate the moment it touched the water, and we managed to get 2 ppl on, but then someone overbalanced it, the whole thing tipped over, and then disintegrated. but it doesnt matter, no one else from our group managed it. but then we had water crossing. not river crossing, cos technically the water was still cos it was a small man-made pool. but it was so fun. though my arms ached like hell after that. that was the only activity for Day 1, since we arrived in the afternoon.

Day 2- morning: trekking! yeah! we trekked up Gunung Lambak (glory, glory Gunung Lambak). i swear to god, even though it was so tiring, it was so FUN. i cant believe that i, totally unfit slob of the 21st century that i am, managed to get to the top of that 510m hill! omg, i was so proud of myself. sad sia, wat an achievement in life, haha. who cares? in ur face, Bukit Timah. haha. but the descent of gunung lambak, now that was just pure fun. ok picture this; im in fingerless gloves (male version of lara croft), sliding down the hill. i felt so adventurous. i didn't care at all; all i wanted was to have fun recklessly. i didn't care abt my safety; i jumped, slid, ziplined down ropes. everything. i loved it. but then, on my way down, the sole of my right shoe came off. i was laughing my head off. oh btw, i was holding in a stomach full of faeces, trying my very best not to launch any projectiles onto the gunung. so imagine sliding down a gunung, with ur ass full of shit, a sole coming off, trying not to open your butt too much. haha. anyway, once we were done, i rushed to the toilet facility, which was like, loads cleaner than the one at my campsite, and answered nature's um, incessant calls. ok then, i actually fell asleep in the bus on the way back to the campsite. (cool gloves huh?)

afternoon: abseiling/prusiking
then in the afternoon, had abseiling/prusiking. dunno what that is? ok, abseiling- going down, prusiking - going up. it was so totally fun. but we only abseiled one floor down.pathetic. it was so fun. i abseiled like, 3 times. haha.

Day 3- morning: kayaking
omg, do u noe when was the last time i kayaked? like, last year, for kayaking contact time. it was the furthest ive kayaked so far. my arms were burning. my palms were sore. god. and my stupid kayak kept veering to one side! so energy consuming. not to mention time-wasting. i just thank god we didn't have to capsize.
- afternoon: jungle survival
god, don't even bother putting me in a jungle. seriously. i'd just die. we could barely construct a shelter, made some tent looking thing, which my teacher said was a 'basha' or something like that. what the heck is a basha? don't ask me. he said it was the most common form of shelter used in the army. right. ok. whatever. never mind getting a fire started. barely got sparks. as for water? huh, drink ur own urea ppl. haha. as for field cooking? i just thank god i didn't get diarrhoea after what i ate.

Day 4- morning: orienteering
it was so slack. it was the last day, also, so we had a totally slack activity. haha. i pitied those souls climbing gunung lambak on their last day.anyway, it was totally fun. i mean, we won! and cos we won, we got to water-bomb the rest, as well as teachers. it was so fun. haha. we got a packet of M&M's, a sewak, something like a natural toothbrush, go and wikipedia it. then, it was time to go home. finally!!! i'm going home, to a place where i belong. anyway, i was so happy to be going home. ok, so i cant survive out of home a long time. ah heck. so what.

anyway, all that mattered was that i had loads of un at the camp. esp with my friends, my S2 class, with whom I'll be parting ways at the end of this year, cos of our streaming. sad. i totally had fun with them, which was the main objective of the camp. so, for my part, i can say that the camp was a resounding success. but i swear, if i can help it, im not going to be sleeping in anymore flooded, half-collapsed tents. hahaha. over and out!
