BACK FROM OBS (: haha i know i abit slow. it's been TWO days since i have been back. been sleeping throughout these two days and going to RJC for the ASEAN competition :D
now, i am going to put a super long post:
firstly, my watch: RAFFLES!!!!
WHOOHOO. raffles seriously ROCK (:
the RAFFLES-IANS:
first row from left:
yifei,charlotte,shelia,ayesha,joanne,alena,shuhui,dodo & JONATHAN(:
second row from left:
ME,merwyn,wilfred,zhiyong,zihao,hengyi,guanqun,bingsin
we are all from either 3L or 3C, pardon me if i got ur names wrongly, cuz my memory is si bei bad one.
1st day:
3C set off from school to the bus to UBIN (: and we were all comparing our bags to see who brought the most stuff and how heavy it was. me and huien got seperated from the rest of 3Cs and had to go on another bus with the 3As. but it was okay.cuz we still crapped along the way :D then when we reached punggol, that super WULU place, 3C which were one of the FIRST to reach was one of the last to leave. we were obviously VERY bu shuang, and started moaning like mad when the instructors let others leave first. we were also spamming mosquito repellent and sunblock there. when we FINALLY could leave,(luckily we were not the last, the last was 3H),we sat on the boat and chugged to UBIN campsite 2. i was damn fascinated by the white waves the boat made and kept staring & staring & staring & staring. haha. then when we reached the jetty and got off the platform, i felt i was swaying like mad. at first i thought it was me. THEN, who knows, it was the platform that was moving by itself. LOL. then we went to the MPH(multi purpose hall) to assemble. and i found out that i was in RAFFLES. at that point of time i was so sad. cuz i didn't see anyone i knew in RAFFLES. then SE-CARLY, shelia asked if i was in RAFFLES, turns out she was there too (: CHARLOTTE also. haha. but the rest like all don't know de, other then the other PRCs. and we found out our mascot was a KIWI. we had to go pack the stores and take our bottles and fill them and pack our food box and stuff.... we also had to settle the ics(which i have forgotten other then sheila was the first day, charlotte was second, and i was the third. food was dodo. i think water was merywn. and TRASH was ZHIYONG. haha. i can remember trash cuz we kept throwing our rubbish at him (:). we had to do our tree and stick leaves with thoughts on them and we got to cut out different type of shapes for our tree which was very interesting.then we went to do trust fall. and we all had to take out hard objects like pins and watches and stuff. and charlotte was complaining cuz she had FIFTEEN pins on her head. and she took such a LONG TIME getting them all out(:. trust fall was fun, i remembered bingsin was the heaviest cuz i almost fell when he fell. mr suria did trust fall too (: then belaying. my group was shelia,charlotte, yifei and ME:D i remembered belaying for charlotte and she kept screaming and i kept panicking. cuz i didn't really know how to belay and i as like flying OFF the ground. and charlotte was still screaming. i really felt SUPER RELIEVED when she came down. haha. then we went to set our tents which we did individualy which took along time, which were all the way into the forest and had SO MANY insects. you all must be imaging how CHARLOTTE survived right. NO WORRiES,by that time we went up it was super dark and you can't see anything in front of you unless you shined a torch light. the food we cooked was rice which tasted FARNIE cuz it was like rice and porridge mixed X), baked beans and peanuts. i didn't really feel like eating and only ate a little. i mean, A LITTLE okay. like about 15 mouths??!!?? then we went to bathe and while walking down that long flight of stairs from the field, i really felt like crying cuz i relly missed home ALOT. plus i felt DAMN sick and tired and had the feeling my whole body will collapse in any second. and the thought that we were ONLY going home in another FOUR DAYS TIME really made me want to cry.but luckily there was the rest of RAFFLES, which complained together with me and made me feel better. after bathing, we had our circle where we discussed stuff that happened and our thoughts. then we were late for the circle cuz we were ABIT slow. and i really meant ABIT. and ayesha,alena and joanne were missing. so JON scolded us and wanted us to go find them before meeting him again. so we were all in low spirits and found them up at the cooking area. when we met him again, he told us stories about teamwork and sharing cuz our team was SUPER LENG from the start. then we had fire drill. then lights out. which was around 11. and we made our way into the forest while complaining and moaning and groaning WHY WE WERE NOT AT THE FIELD. and the stupid ground had so many holes in them i can't even find a comfortable spot to put my head into. yifei brought a sleeping mat which was so much more comfortable. however, still painful. and we kept waking up every hour. which kind of sucked. then i changed my position from a lying down one, to one which i crossed my leg and slept which my head touching my leg. YES, the same pose i had at RVTT camp. SO POWER RIGHT! haha. and that is the end of DAY ONE :D
2nd DAY
after keeping our tents and waking at an unearhtly hour, we went back down again. and ate breakfast which was bread. washed up and started packing our stuff for the activities. and went to meet JON for PT. and we joined LIVINGSTONE and SHACKLETON and CHENG HO i think for PT. which was pretty fun.and we started on our journals which i totally spammed after the five days. which looked like this:
TOTAL SPAM (: haha
then we had ROCK WALL (: which the boys showed how power they were by climbing all the way up. AND OF COURSE, SHEILA the musclewoman. she almost finished the whole thing.SO POWER. i only did like HALF WAY. haha. but it was a nice experience.and i remebered alena's SOLE was coming out halfway. JON told us that we should help set up everyone tents to enable more efficient work. which reminded me of DIVISION OF LABOUR which reminded me of BIOLOGY which reminded me of TESTS. HAIZZ... i have such good mind mapping skills. then after getting bitten by thousands of mozzies and getting a complement that i was TOO SWEET, we went down to get ready for our kayaking and eat our lunch. lunch was bicsuit and more biscuit and maybe bread. and then we packed out stuff which was quite messy cuz the store was so pathetically small.and we finally got ourselves ready and went to meet jon and nadia which taught us how to kayak. and then we had capsize drill. with charlotte and shelia. and we were the fastest to finished it. so happy(: and we placed our bags on the speed boat liao so cannot get sunblock. and nice shuan lent us his which like over 7 people spammed :D LOL. THANKS SHAUN then we set out before changing charlotte with jaslin cuz shaun's de kayak cannot balance cuz the weight abit TOO even le. and we started kayaking over to the granite quarry. which was quite okay.me,dodo,shuhui,yifei,ayesha,alena and forget who went to change and we couldn't find the so called toilet which was just a place with alot of grass. so we walked all the way up while complaining and complaining. then we helped get all the stuff ready and set our tents. THIS TIME, we did what JON wanted us to do and we all helped. and we set up 4/5 tents. we had to use rocks to stabilise the tents cuz the tent pegs can't even get in the ground due to all the rocks. then we had MAGGI and i think some other side dish like mushroom and sausage for dinner which i totally had no appetite. and ate like 3 mouths. then we went for briefing for the sea expedition and our leaders were wilfred and zhiyong. then we went back to our campsite and JON scolded us for not setting up the last time. he said that since we brought 5 then we should set up 5. so all of us set up the last one withnin 10 mins. SO POWER RITE haha. then we went to wash the untensils with sea water and dodo and shuhui kept thinking that some rock was our spoon. and we were all wonderign should we go down to get it. the dodo said, do we have all. and i went like, i think so. then dodo said, DON"T GO LAR. i am not going to get my feet wet for someone else spoon. and i was LAUGHING like mad when i heard that. hahaha. then we later found out that it was actually a shiny rock. haha. RAFFLES decided to put all our stuff inside dodo's tent cuz they only got 2 person inside. so we started moving and finished it fast.then we went to sleep. which was even more uncomfortable due to the stupid rocks. we woke up at 1 plus and took a poncho and went out to join the guys on sentry. outside was so shuang can. not hot at all. and we could hear the guys crapping about coffee bean and all. then they were like eh got shooting stars. u all got see not. they were talking to us. but we were all so lazy to open our eyes and mouths we ignored them and they thought we fell alseep le. and thats was the end of DAY 2
3rd day
i woke up at the incessant shouting of vulgarities from yonghong and felt quite pissed cuz that night was the only night we managed to get some sleep. WARLOW.however since the rest woke up already,i went to help unpitch the tent and get ready all the life vest and bag packs. charlotte and dodo wanted to eat their medicine so we went to find the instructors. however, the instructors all haven't wake up yet. then we went to eat our breakfast which was bread biscuit and more bread. later when ALL the instructors and teachers woke up, we started our journey. all the kayaks were in the sea and all the bag packs were on the other campsite already. our navigator who was wilfred and dunno who were leading in front. we paddled like mad and finally was about to reach our reststop when the bad news came. there was a HEAVY STORM COMING. so even though our hands were aching like mad and all we wanted to do was to fall down and die, we paddled even faster to avoid the storm. heavy rain drops as fat as little stones were rushing down on us already. sheila, charlotte, shaun, shuhui and me shared one poncho together and while waiting for the rain to stop, we got out our "prized possesions" which was our FOOD. there was APOLLO and some wheat biscuit thing. we rested on a place which was like a beach, so the whole place was filled with sand. and of course, our whole hands and feet and face and hair was filled with sand too! but who cares, we all put our sandy fingers inside and started eating. and i have to say, the food never tasted better (: then the rain and wind was getting too big and one poncho could hardly cover any of us. so we spilted into 2. me, sheila and charlotte. shuan and shuhui. our group all fell asleep while holding on. haahha. cuz we were reallly like super tired and super cold. then the rain stopped. but all of us were feeling very cold. and there was something wrong with esther. however, the instructor said that there was another storm coming, and we had to move fast to avoid the storm. i was busy helping the rest with the ponchos because the ponchos didn't seemed to be able to get in the bags. and i was holding on the ponchos like some idiot with a bag on my feet for 10 mins cuz i was waiting. THEN. dexter came along and helped me carry the bag and ponchos up the speed boat. hahahha.that was damn touching okay. never mind. then we rafted up and prepared our u turn journey back to campsite 1. our tri yak was totally slacking the whole way and eating also. the instructors also gave our warm MILO (: but stop after like 3 bottles. later jon said was bacause someone told him we were playing with the bottles by throwing them into the sea. LOL. no lar, we were only passing them to one another :P. i remembered shelia throwing PRUNES in the water to pass to the rest who wanted. and i was laffing like mad (:. then we were like playing around and eating. when we finally reached campsite 1. RELIEVED. cuz my whole arms felt that they were dropping off. when the rest unpitch the tent, they didn't put fly sheet. so okay. we didn't really mind too. i, shelia and charlotte and yifei didn't help cuz we were wasjign the vests.as long as it was not going to rain. there was this big commotion as we lost our blue tub. and after like half and hour of screaming and shouting that who has seen it, we found it at one of the washing areas. we went to bathe before this and waited damn long cuz there was only THREE cubicles. so pathetic. sheila was the POWER one. she bathe inside the normal toilet cubicle without the showerhead and all those. hahaa. so pro(: the third day was the best cuz we had proper food and proper chairs and tables. and the food was damn nice. trust me (:. it was curry chicken, fishcake and some cabbage thing with soup. and supper was green bean soup which was nice too. then we went to sleep. which was also one of the best cuz i totally didn't wake up throughout at all. and that's the end of day 3.

alot of things happened this week. being emo all over again and all. BUT HEY,the good thing i realised is that my people skills improve.SO COOL (: only had one cca this week due to SPEECH DAY rehearsal. we get to go off at 1pm on CCA days due to rehearsals. SO GOOD(:
i remember when i just see people walking off the streets. everywhere. anywhere. and you can just still stand there. feeling still so alone. so cold. so unfamilar. when i always see this kind of scence in the movie or film, where they take this person standing in the middle of a crossroad, and streams of people are moving past the protagonist in streams. the protagonist just stands there, looking lost. i kind of always feel i understand. because it's a feeling of being unaccepted. i think everyone has this period in their life. when they see people talking in groups and you are all alone, you feel afraid. and when they start looking and laughing, you always feel that they are laughing at you. it's just this kind of feeling i feel right now.
i think i am in seriously need of attention. sick of being just a nobody. but i don't want to be notorious either. don't see anything positive about it. why am i so sadistic???
QUOTE OF THE DAY: slow down in the race of life and maybe you can see that you can hear the splattering of the rain, the rustle of leaves and just the beauty of it all.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: 爱是学会让对方幸福。如果只想独占他给你的爱，那也是爱， 但是，是自私的爱。
if you are willing to let go to grant the other happiness, you really love him/her from the bottom of your heart. However, if all you want is to have ALL the LOVE he/she gives, that is still love, but it's selfish love. (MEANING: it will not have a happy ending)
