this was taken by me as i walked to the bus terminal a few days ago.... the pic looks quite bad.. cause i do not have a camera! and i got to use my hp's camera.. which is not even 1.3MP... so like that lor...
anyway, i'm finally back from camps... my friend is still in camp.. her final battle.. which will end officially on Sun.. and she's starting work on Monday in a pharmacy... so i promised to buy her dinner.. ^_^ overall, it was a very enriching experience for me.. my 1st time in Camp Christine ( the official Girl Guides' Camp in Singapore..) It's at this place called Serimbun i think.. near Lim Chu Kang.. near all those cemeteries.. and it's super near the Straits of Johore.. I could stand in one of the lodges in Camp Christine and looked out.. and see Johor! if i could swim properly, i could swim across the straits and reach Johor! (provided i swim with my passport hanging onto my neck or something? haha) I was of not much help cause I had lost touch with Girl Guides for about 4-5 years! and I had never been to Camp Christine before.. so i was quite lost mentally and physically... hope i'd not been a burden to the other trainers and the boss.. (cause i'm paid, I felt quite bad... ) The first day we arrived at the school before 7.15pm...get everything settled, set off for campsite and reached there around 9am... tent-pitching, duties etc... learned knots, gadget-makin...and all that stuffs.. plus more duties... The food was great..and a lot! we had yummy nasi lemak for lunch.. spaghetti for dinner... did i mention we had morning break, afternoon tea and also supper?! which made it 6 meals a day.. some of the campers commented that why were they always eating.. o_O (so that you'll have energy for all the activities larr..) 2nd day was canoeing day for the campers... trainers set off doin their various duties.. i was the photographer for both camps... so we were doing some photolog thing... wanted to go canoeing with the campers.. but couldnt... then we did this "orientereeing" thing... in preparation for the following camp... learned how to read the coordinates of map and how to use the compass the right way..take bearings.. etc.. (i'm quite lousy in all these cause i hate Geog...hadnt been in touched with it since Sec 3).. that evenin, we had outdoor cooking.. not fully outdoor as it was raining in the afternoon.. but the campers cooked their own food.. and I helped make the pizza for the trainers le.. wahahahha.. we had a pizza, 2 beggar chickens, banana with chocs.. sweet potatoes..and bread.. nice! Later that nite we had a campfire where the campers put up performances and sing songs... and the trainers and guiders got to eat really fresh boiled mussels.. cause the caretakers of the campsite went diving in the day to get the mussels and then boiled them... it was yummy! very fresh! it rained heavily on the 3rd day.. so we didnt get to strike tent.... so we packed up and left earlier...
came back to NUS, put our clothes in the washing machine and fainted on the bed... woke up to shift the clothes into the dryer and continued sleeping... went back to my own room(i was at my friend's room which is in another hall altogether cause my lovely roommate forgot to tell me where she put the key into our room and was not contactable at all til very late..when i had washed my clothes in another hall..) and continued the sleep-wakeup-sleep cycle til 11.30pm where i officially knocked out...
woke up the next morning, took my packed bag and set off for camp no2! at Sengkang..this camp was in school...and thus more relaxed... and we got to eat Sakae Sushi on 2nd day.. and on the 1st nite, we went to eat prata at Jalan Kayu.. yummy! i like the banana prata a lot! but it took them sooo long to send our prata.. -__-"" i got to contribute more in this camp as there were only me and another girl as trainers and the boss on the 2nd day afternoon onwards... i took charge of the Sec 1.. and tested them on their Guides' knowledge to enable them to earn at least the Bronze Award by year end.. There was this super curious girl who kept on asking me questions... when I asked each of them to name me a disease, she asked me the cause of asthma and how many type of cancer are there in the world... i was like "erm... there are many causes of asthma... and there are many types of cancer in the world, where new ones are emerging everyday..." then i told her to keep her questions for later that night when I'll tell her the whole cancer story... well, I did... later that night... came back on Thurs and slept the whole afternoon away.. woke up in time to watch drama at 6pm in ky's room and stayed there til 10+pm when I decided i shall continue sleeping... That was when i was told by my dear roommate that she LOST my TRANSPARENT JAPANESE UMBRELLA!!!! I was kind hearted enough to offer her my umbrella cause it was raining in the mornin that she was going to work.. and she LOST MY UMBRELLA!!! and she *sob sob* before i did! like i bully her!! ok..i'm not as angry, now.. but my heart just ache.. thinking that i might only get to replace that umbrella in about 10 years time..when i have the money to go Japan again.. or when she has the money to go Japan.. by that time i'll be 32! and not bothered about some transparent umbrella.... now i'm this stupid young lady that treasures this kinda souvenirs a lot.. and dear roommate lost it! haihz...
but i was too tired... and i fell asleep....
today, i woke up near 1pm... online to chat with my small sis ( who got into UTM.. congrats!! and just turned 20 yesterday!) i think this piece of news from the uni would be the BEST bdae present she ever got and the BEST Fathers' Day present my dad ever got... great for both of them... though my sis is a little unhappy that she has to go so far... but near me ma... her only consolation is that she gets to come to Singapore more often... (that's what she said) ^_^ v but it's one of her choices... so she should be grateful....
then i slacked the whole day! can you imagine? yesterday nite i told myself, today i'm going to look through some of the drugs... so that i can be prepared for work... since my working partner is a dean-lister or ex-dean-lister (doesnt really matter).... *can just cut throat and die* I was so bored for the whole day that at 5pm, i decided i want to have Subway for dinner.. Subway just opened in NUS! woohoo!! can have nice cookies from now on... (^_^)v Felt super sleepy the whole way..even when eating dinner.. but now that i'm back and laid on the bed, i couldnt sleep... why?? am i feeling sleepy or tired or what ar? dont know le.. like half awake only... think there is a song that goes like "what is this that i'm feeling? ....blah blah blah..." (but i think that feeling the person meant is love lar.. but mine is definitely NOT love)
talking about that, my friend's relationship just got exposed to his mom...wahahahaha... and his mom told him, "your dad and I are very happy for you!" Whoa!! such a cool mom.. but then my friend means same age with me.. which means too old already la to have mom who says "NO, you cannot have a girlfriend yet!" o_O
the previous time i went home, my parents' long lost workers met up with the whole family at another friend's housewarming party... (forgot whether i mentioned this)... but she asked me whether I am attached.... how? "no lor..." was my reply... "nobody wants", I added... then she asked how old am I... then she said "aiya, 22 only.. still young...never mind.." but at the back of her mind she must be thinking, when i was your age, I was already married....blah blah blah...
on the same topic, my dear friend who is my age and had been attached for 4 solid years just asked me the day before yesterday, "so, when are you getting attached?" My answer, " I don't know le.. so when do you want to help me get attached?" My boss was laughing at the answer cause she thought i sounded like it's my friend's fault that I'm not attached... hmm... good answer? *lolz*
*a lot of random thoughts here and there.. why? maybe cause I had not been bloggin for quite some time.. and nowadays my life seems more fun... I did a lot of things during this holiday.. and it's only half of it... half more to go.. hopefully working is as fun.... well, going to UTM next Sunday.. never been there before... but since my small sis, which is the baby of the family is leaving home for the 1st time, both my parents and me going to send her there.. If my big sis is not pregnant and does not have a young child at home, she might have come also.. to send the baby off*
*after she leave, there will only be my mom and dad left... luckily my sis works near my dad's shop, which means she goes to the shop every weekday to park her car.. and on weekends to bring my niece along... ^_^*
*the first shift ppl just finished their attachment today... they are embracing freedom... >__<*
