slip of the tongue? or?
I always say KWANG HUA instead of HWA CHONG. It comes out in conversations when i meant HC, but instead it came out as KH.

wonderful memories
I AM FINALLY ONLINE AGAIN!!!!! OMG! You have no idea how happy i am now after close to one week of not being able to go online! Last week was a super busy week and i remembered that i had lots to blog about, but somehow, i can't seem to remember them now. Oh well, shall try hard to remember and put them here in my blog so that i will have something to read and refresh my memories in the future.
Oasis - at YLTC, Pulau Ubin
Hmm.. Let's start with post-YL life. It needed a bit of getting use to. I kinda get annoyed (oh well, not so serious as annoyed, maybe more like impatient) when people do things slowly or take more than the time needed to complete something. I find myself constantly in hurry even though i have ample time in my hands. Haha. I guess that is one of the post-YL symptom. Anyway, the past two weeks have been filled with a few OAC-related meetings. We had two meetings to discuss and plan about YL night(one last wed and one today), and i am proud to say that we got most things planned out and settled.
Comanches 08 & 09!! We totally rock!!
We had MEET EX on Friday and we went to J8. Me, Jiaxi, Wenxuan, Kwunwa and Kanzy left school and went there together. It was funny how we devised a plan to drag Linette, Jiajun and Peirong out from Mos Burger. We did not actually have strong objections to eating there but i guess we just liked making things complicated. We stood outside Mos Burger and stared at them while they looked at us in exasperation and started making big exaggerated arm motions to signal to us to go in. It was hilarious that i failed to keep a straight face. Jiajun even threatened us with "You want more counts is it?" in an sms. Lol. In the end, we solved our differences by packing our own food and going up to the empty space on level 3. That was actually a very good suggestion and wondered why didn't we think of it earlier?! Anyway, i had a very fun time, sitting in a circle on the floor, munching on fastfood, listenning to scandals and basically just hanging out. Oh ya, we played Comanches traditional games once again and seriously i can't help but laaugh whenever i think of Wenxuan having to pass the chip to Kwunwa! Haha. I am loving OAC more and more after each meeting!
I love OASIS!!
Oasis - at YLTC, Pulau UbinSaturday was a pretty busy day. We had Faculty CIP the whole morning. And 09s77 was IMBA!! We finished collecting old newspapers from our assigned blocks and did 2 extra blocks! Are we good or good?! Lol. It was fun doing CIP as a Faculty (more as a class). We shall always remember how Keejia placed her face near the lift in an attempt to scare passer-bys. How we played "You wanna fight is it?" while waiting and how Ms Wang gasped at our childishness. Lol. After Fac CIP, we had a mass shopping session to buy presents for the big "ANGEL-MORTAL" revelation. I spent 5 hours looking for stuffs to buy and in the end i burnt a hole in my pocket! Spent like forever buying my angel's present as comments came from all directions and i took all of them into account. Kae Yuen's "that's so gay" and Wei Qi's "that's hilarious" were all taken into account and given much thought. In the end, i ended up with a pretty decent present which i wrapped and decorated painstakingly. Senior-treat-junior (or more affectionately known as STJ) at night was pretty enjoyable. Our table laughed for no apparent reason and was pretty spastic the whole night. 
09s77 and 08s77
As a conclusion to STJ, we dance the APOLLO Fac dance at an open space, one level down street-level along Orchard road. It was fun but i forgot some steps=.= Sorry, partner!
Sunday was funny. I forgot about my breakfast date with the GUAs and Zoe. Was still snoozing peacefully in my bed when they called me and told me that they were already at the HC bus stop. I literally jumped out of my bed and rushed through everything. They kept "reminding" me that they were hungry and "adviced" me to hurry up. Lol. Sorry girls! We had breakfast at BT Marketplace. Ate alot. I ordered a bowl of 花生粥thinking it was花生糊 and realised i made a mistake when i saw the uncle preparing the porridge. So ya, had to gulp down something that i had no intention of eating. Had ASEAN Comm meeting after that. Promised to go to school to meet up with san mei and si mei but in the end things did not go according to plan. Sorry!!
Oh ya, left out one big chunk of my week! Council campaigning has started! Spent most of last week finishing our video and editting it. Put up our banner today and will be putting up our posters tomorrow! Our campaign poster:
My dad sounded disappointed when i told him that i won't be going back home for the good friday weekend because i will either have a camp or kayaking. He sounded even more disappointed when i told him that he need not come down on 18th April for Crescent's Speech Day because i won't be able to go on stage because of Atlantis on that day. Am i really making the right choices? I am disappointed that after working so hard for 2 years, i won't be able to go on stage. How nice if there were 2 April 18ths. Or better still, how nice if i could split myself into 2 on 18th April!
It's funny how sometimes your heart doesn't really know what you yourself want.

I'm a survivor!
Be forewarned!! This is an extremely long post!
I've never thought that i would appreciate a bath that much in my entire life!
YLTC 09 - the experience had ended, but the journey had just only begun. The 35th OAC batch is OASIS! Like how our batch anthem chorus goes: Camp was a joy we all had fun in. Though it was tough, it was worth it. Indeed, the 5 days of YLTC was quite a new experience for me. It encompasses a few "first-times", including not bathing, washing face or even brushing teeth for 5 whole days; getting a level one rock climbing cert, trying the pamper pole and also all the physical trainings (aka torture).
YLTC does not only consist of the 5 days at camp but also 5 pre-camps. To tell you the truth, i was quite shocked during the 1st pre-camp because i found out at that time that Outdoor Activities Club (OAC) resembles an uniformed group (UG). We had to fall in and fall out, do roll calls and shout out counts. We are given counts whenever we make mistakes. During roll-call, we have to report to our instructors and we have to arrange their name in alphabetical order, females followed by males. All the seemed overwhelming at that time and i was kind of deterred by all the strict rules we had to adhere to. Another thing that irked me at that time was the standardisation rule. Everyone had to wear the same shirt, stand in the same way, hold the flag in the same manner. We had to look for our Rovers and our Exes during the pre-camps and i shall not go on about all the physical trainings we had to go through before finally finding them. (We had to report to random instructors, hoping that they are the correct ones. They will "torture" us before telling us whether they are our Rovers/Exes)
Day 1 of YLTC was a shock too. We assembled in roll call position and were told to take out things from our bags and align them according to type in groups. These things include toiletries, pens, torch lights, etc. And i guess it was safe to say that we never saw these things again for that 5 days. After "unpacking", we went to Simei ITE for height elements. My group - COMANCHES managed to complete the pamper pole and the flying fox before it started raining. We missed out on the challenge ropes which i felt was quite a waste because it was the one i was looking forward to. The pamper pole looked scary from the ground but when we were up there it was not as scary.
Day 2 of YLTC was enjoyable. We had flag raising and morning exercise before breakfast. After that was the first aid mob. The instructors acted as mental patients hurt from a building collapsing and we had to give them first aid. I dare say we did quite well, making makeshift stretchers and bandaging them up. It was quite fun but all of us took it seriously and i think we all learned how to react to a situation and provide first aid if we ever encounter such cases. After that, we went for rock-climbing. This was my favourite activity of the day. Tried to climb a few different walls. Succeeded in a few but failed for the last few, perhaps my hands were tired from the effort. In the evening, we had pioneering where we built a structure where we could climb. My skills in tying knots and lashes obtained from 3 years in scouts during primary school were finally put into good use.
Day 3 of YLTC was dedicated to sea expedition. We kayaked for practically the whole day. I am sad to say that i am now at least 2 shades darker. Lol. We did the capsize drill and learned strokes. All these weren't new to me as i have gone through them in OBS. (Oh ya, keep in mind that we did not bathe even though we were soaked from head to toe in salty water. Imagine how disgusting i felt.) We had night walk on Day 3. Venue: HCI (high school) Oh well, despite rumours that it was haunted and stuff, i thought it wasn't that scary. The seniors tried hard to scare us and we had to do silly things like knocking sticks together and knocking on the door of the scouts den while saying "对不起，打扰了。" The one i think was a little bit more scary was the one where we had to go into the boys toilet and flush the toilet. It was total darkness inside the toilet and i had to feel my way around.
Day 4 of YLTC was at Ubin and the whole day was dedicated to the land expedition. We walked/hiked for around 7 hours. I think my group did badly for the land expedition as we managed to get lost for at least three times. But oh well, at least we had fun. At night we had campfire where each group put up performances.
Day 5 was the last day of YLTC and the most memorable part of that day was the mass return of counts (more affectionately known as MROC) It really pushed us all not only physically but also mentally. Examples of things we did to return counts: 28 of us formed a circle and held ourselves in pumping position. Then each of us had to take turns doing one pump while the others hold themselves in pumping position. This goes on until we complete 1000 pumps as a batch. We also did 马步, hold our legs in 45 degrees position, 东南西北跳, etc. Everything tested us physically and mentally. Ours arms were shaking and our legs were giving way but we just had to perserve on. For some reason, i was a bit more emotional then usual today and felt homesick when they were singing the "this is home, truly... where i want to be.." song. (The song sang during Singapore's National Day) The instructors punished themselves and did 69 push-ups each because they felt that they had failed in their task to make us leaders. We were told to keep quiet and observe them. For some reason, tears rolled down my eyes. (I don't think i was the only one) It was heartbreaking to see how they were shaking with the effort and how some of the girls were falling after each pump but yet pushing themselves up again to continue. I felt sad and touched that they took part of the blame for what should had been our mistake. All these happened before our MROC and i made up my mind to do my best in MROC no matter how painful or tired i was. After everything ended, and when we closed our eyes in reflection at the amphitheatre, somehow, we all knew that we had grew stronger, mentally and physically, after this camp. When we finally felt the weight of the new shirt on our backs, signalling the end of our 5-day camp, we all knew that everything was worth it. To tell you the truth, i was a wee bit disappointed when Comanches was announced as the best spirited group, because i knew that we did not win best group.
Still, as horrible as everything sound, YLTC is still something i would remember forever. Counts, counts and more counts would always remain in my mind. Every time i pass by the clock tower, i would remember how we did PT there. Every time i pass by Kah Kee Hall, i would remember how we did 1000 push ups there. Every time i pass by the amphitheatre and block B, i would remember how we had to walk/run one big circle and use the designated staircase just because we were not allowed to pass by the boy's dorm. Another thing i would surely never forget is how we stayed back after the end of the camp, spending almost 2 hours trying to sort out our stuffs and finding our clothes. I am sad to say that till now i still can't find my PE shirt=( However, there were enjoyable moments too. I enjoyed sentry duty in the middle of the night with my group mates, GIs, Rovers and Exes. Thanks seniors for all the junk food you provided us with to keep us awake. From the sentry duty, i've realised that OAC are a bunch of scandal-loving people. Haha. I enjoyed moments we spent with our group mates and batch mates, how we cheered each other on and supported each other when any one of us couldn't make it physically. It made me realise that in this world, no man is an island and no man can be an island. We all need friends who support us and cheer us on. From YLTC, i've further understood the importance of teamwork and the importance of putting the group's needs ahead of our own personal needs. I've learned the importance of speaking up and gained the courage to take charge and and be responsible, not only for myself but for the whole group. In YLTC and in OAC, THERE IS NO ME, ONLY WE!
My legs are still itching from all the mosquito bites and i still haven't recovered from my lack of sleep for past week, but one thing's for sure. I did not regret going for YLTC, no matter how tough it seemed.
One amusing anecdote: Before going for YLTC, i would look at the food served in the boarding school canteen and think, "Wah.. So much rice, how to finish?" After YLTC, i looked at the rice and thought, "Wah.. So little, where got enough?" Lol.. Already, you could see how YLTC had made me change .

We missed out on the challenge ropes which i felt was quite a waste because it was the one i was looking forward to. The pamper pole looked scary from the ground but when we were up there it was not as scary.
Granted, the pole did shake when we tried to balance on top of it and the bar seemed a long jump away but all of us managed to overcome our fears and reached out for it! Kudos to everyone! After coming back from Simei, we had survival, where we had to taste "food" and determine whether they are safe for consumption or poisonous. Dorm check 1 was... (hmm.. how should i put this..) i guess it was a new experience. We were told to take out our personal undergarments and put it aside. Then we were told to empty out our bags.The instructors then mixed all our clothes and gave us counts to simple grab things we need. Of course we had no time to find our own clothes. We did not even have enough time to grab enough clothes for ourselves. During dorm check 2, the instructors poured soapy water in our dorm and asked us to clean it up. We had no cloths or newspapers and after much hinting by them and much reluctance by us, we used the clothes we were wearing to mop the floor. We rolled around on the floor to soak up the water and squeeze ourselves dry, all the while shouting out counts aloud (we were given a time limit). The instructors were not satisfied with our progress and made us use our hair to mop the floor as well. (Keep in mind that after doing that we did not bath for 5 days.) What's worse? We had to hang the shirt up and re-wear it on day 5. The shorts were re-worn to and seriously, everything stank!
Day 2 of YLTC was enjoyable. We had flag raising and morning exercise before breakfast. After that was the first aid mob. The instructors acted as mental patients hurt from a building collapsing and we had to give them first aid. I dare say we did quite well, making makeshift stretchers and bandaging them up.

Just my luck
Why is all this happening to me? Can i just blame it all on bad luck?! Just when i thought everything was going well, something like that just had to pop up and spoil my plans. I wish my parents were here!! Or maybe i wish i was back home. Now i have to pick up the pieces alone. No worries, i shall do it perfectly fine on my own!
I can't believe that i am keeping track of the score between ManU and Liverpool now using livescore. Half time now. Come on MU, you can do it!

Story for thoughts
I came across this story, found that it is quite meaningful and would like to share it with everyone.
且慢下手
大多數的同仁都很興奮，因為單位裡調來一位新主管，據說是個能人，專門被派來 整頓業務；可是日一天天過去，新主管卻毫無作為，每天彬彬有禮進辦公室， 便躲在裡面難得出門，那些本來緊張得要死的壞份子，現在反而更猖獗了。 「他那裡是個能人嘛！根本是個老好人，比以前的主管更容易唬！」 四個月過去，就在真正努力為新主管感到失望時， 新主管卻發威了－－壞份子一律開革，能人則獲得晉昇。 下手之快，斷事之準，與四月表現保守的他，簡直像是全然換個人。 年終聚餐時，新主管在酒過三巡之後致詞： 「相信大家對我新到任期間的表現，和後來的大刀闊斧，一定感到不解， 現在聽我說個故事，各位就明白了：「我有位朋友，買了棟帶著大院的房子， 他一搬進去，就將那院子全面整頓，雜草樹一律清除，改種自己新買的花卉， 某日原先的屋主往訪，進門大吃一驚的問：『那最名貴的牡丹哪裡去了？』 我這位朋友才發現，他竟然把牡丹當草給剷了。 後來他又買了一棟房子，雖然院子更是雜亂，他卻是按兵不動， 果然冬天以為是雜樹的植物，春天裡開了繁花； 春天以為是野草的，夏天裡成了錦蔟；半年都沒有動靜的小樹，秋天居然紅了葉。 直到暮秋，它才真正認清哪些是無用的植物， 而大力剷除，並使所有珍貴的草木得以保存。」說到這兒，主管舉起杯來： 「讓我敬在座的每一位，因為如果這辦公室是個花園，你們就都是其間的珍木， 珍木不可能一年到頭開花結果，只有經過長期的觀察才認得出啊！
On another note, i pon swimming PE today! Lit lecture was bearable as i thought that the teacher was pms-ing. Strictly speaking, the students were really irritating and it was no wonder that the teacher lost her temper! Expose 2 was enlightening. Got our campaign groups all figured out! Went for dinner with OAC seniors just now. They made us do some really yucky and abit "awkward" stuffs, like passing a potato chip with ur mouth.

X Country
X-country 2day. Nothing much to say, except that i regretted giving up and walking for some parts, and not running the whole journey. I felt a bit emo 2day. Perhaps it is because of the Math Test results. But deep inside, i know that it was not the only reason. Almost everyone is looking forward to the March holidays but not surprisingly, i am not. I want to go home! But with YLTC and the workload we are having now, i know that it is impossible. I feel that i need more time.
Thanks for the clearer picture.
Oh btw, we are having swimming PE starting from this Friday. And i don't have a swimsuit here with me! *Panics*
Oh, right!! GOOD LUCK and ALL THE BEST to everyone who will be getting their SPM results tomorrow!! Especially to KWANG HUARIANS!!!

Invisible.
I shall blog more often if i can since Ms Bubbles specially requested for it!=p (feeling honoured, bubbles?) Lol..
Went to Ang Mo Kio housing estate with Tissue to do the Apollo CIP. Some of the residents were friendly while some just totally "dao" me. I hate the feeling of being dao-ed!!! It made me frustrated and "hurt"! Don't wanna help out for charity also no need to show me a black face when i greeted u so politely right?! What's worse were those pretending not to hear me addressing them and treating me as if i was invisible. Haix. Maybe they were having a bad day. I shall stop complaining now. But it was heartwarming that there were some nice people who were friendly and helpful! The world should have more of this kind of people! Oh ya, one scary thing about today, we saw a house which was splashed with red paint. (Things that i thought only happened in movies.) Tissue and I were stunned and momentarily shocked. Then we hurried away from that unit and did not even bothered giving the person staying there a brochure.
On another note, painted our group flag, caps and scarfs for Youth Leadership Training Camp (YLTC) today, which will practically take up the whole of my March holidays. I shall make the most of it!
Having 3 tests next week, Maths, Bio and Chem! Bio-Lipids is due on Wednesday! Lit presentation on Fri! And to think that JC life jus only started!
2day was a not-so-long-but-extremely-tiring day. Was supposed to be at school by 8am but i only reached at 8.4oam. (Sorry Seaweed!) I set my alarm at 7am but decided to continue sleeping when it rang. Baby and Liz were not at school yet when i finally managed to drag myself to school, so i wasn't that late after all! Tried mugging Bio but weirdly nothing much went into my head. Maybe because it was kinda distracting there. (We sitting there like muggers while all the sports CCA were playing n having trainings.) I suddenly missed those times i trained with my trackmates when i saw the sports CCAs having fun training.
Went to Ang Mo Kio housing estate with Tissue to do the Apollo CIP. Some of the residents were friendly while some just totally "dao" me. I hate the feeling of being dao-ed!!! It made me frustrated and "hurt"! Don't wanna help out for charity also no need to show me a black face when i greeted u so politely right?! What's worse were those pretending not to hear me addressing them and treating me as if i was invisible. Haix. Maybe they were having a bad day. I shall stop complaining now. But it was heartwarming that there were some nice people who were friendly and helpful! The world should have more of this kind of people! Oh ya, one scary thing about today, we saw a house which was splashed with red paint. (Things that i thought only happened in movies.) Tissue and I were stunned and momentarily shocked. Then we hurried away from that unit and did not even bothered giving the person staying there a brochure.On another note, painted our group flag, caps and scarfs for Youth Leadership Training Camp (YLTC) today, which will practically take up the whole of my March holidays. I shall make the most of it!
Having 3 tests next week, Maths, Bio and Chem! Bio-Lipids is due on Wednesday! Lit presentation on Fri! And to think that JC life jus only started!

错过
Today was one of the rare times that i was actually a wee bit lost in Lit lecture. The teacher introduced some very technical terms which sounds all wrong to my ears. ( i remember thinking, is this even a word?) Oh well, i guess it was a word since it was taught to us. Btw, i find the teacher very amusing today as he droned on and on about rhythm/cadence and rhyme. He kept repeating the examples over and over again in that rhythm (ti dum ti dum ti dum ti dum- i swear that this really happened and i am not making it up!) I almost burst out laughing a few times but i managed to keep a straight face.
Somehow for the first time in my life, i'm not looking forward to March holidays. Maybe it has something to do with not being able to go home=( 
I feel a little bit guilty for not running dring the cross-country familiarisation run today. The girls were supposed to run 3.2km but i actually strolled for 2.8km and only jogged for the last 400m.

SunShine!
On 27th Feb when the sun was setting, APOLLO rocked Hwa Chong (lol.. i put these colours to show one Hwa Chong..) with our faculty dance! The god of the sun shone brightly and all the bullboys and bullgirls out there danced with spirit and zest! GO APOLLO!
Oh well, i wanted to upload the video of us dancing as a faculty but somehow there is an error. So i shall just post the url here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SHLMrS8cv8
For more info on our fac dance competition during POP, you can visit http://community.livejournal.com/apollofaculty/. (Haha. I'm too lazy too type out everything here. Btw, there are cool pics and the video up there too!)
(Oh ya, if u wanna find me, i am at the 3rd row, 2nd column from the left. It won't be easy! Haha. Good luck finding me!)
APOLLO won FAC DANCE ( I bet this is not news to many but i still can't resist the temptation to shout it out loud here.) What's the deeper meaning behind winning fac dance? It means that APOLLO wins the FACULTY SHIELD for 2009 too! We now have the right to pressure our juniors to win it again next year so as to keep the tradition alive! (Lol. This is the 2nd consecutive year Apollo has won the Fac Shield!) I am so proud to be in Apollo!!
