sweet escape

time: 16.43pm

Finally the photos are done. loves to leigh who put up her photos on photoalbum. It was been abt a week since we got back from redang. It was a beautiful place and while commericalised, still has not lost in beauty. Maybe cause it was low season, the crowd was not so overwhelming. Xia ri mo mo cha was filmed there in 1999, yet they choose to still shamelessly use it as a gimmick 8 years on, showing the film 24 hours a day on one channel, selling mechandise related to the show inside the exact house used for the film. Fortunately for them, most of us lapped it up anw. :) haha


the hotel room was a little of a disappointment cause it was pretty small for 4, but still, the view was really gorgeous. In a way, i still rather much prefer a pool view than a sea view. Call me weird, but it just a preference.





the trip was short, spend mostly soaking up the sun( which trust me, i did with too much vigour -_-), snokling, eating buffets and marveling at the absolutely clear waters of the sea.



need i say more?

But the best best BEST thing about the trip, was the company. :) Lurves to the girls- daph, flora and leigh. Not a moment was spend bored because of all of you, from the long rides in the bus( 10 hours for goodness sake!), to the damn funny session we had over drinks and the endless baking in the sun. It felt like getting to know you guys all over again. And if we could, we should do it all over again! love ya lots lots <3<3<3





pictures with the girls

I really wouldnt mind going back to redang, during the off-peak period of course. But this time, im flying there. Daytona-like bus rides ought to be experience only once in a lifetime!

hall hall hall

time: 23.38pm

im just wasting time, refusing to bathe and start on my video editing. This week has been spent largely in hall.

I've not felt so gek in such a long time. The frustration and annoyance has swallowed me up so fully that i've stopped thinking rationally. Thank god, my mouth doesnt function according to my mind. At least for now. Im sorry to those who have to endure ALL my complaining this few weeks. Yes i know, i cant shut up. Sorry. :P Its just that as the event draws nearer and nearer, i just keep recalling all the past incidents that have tested my patience and tolerance. And more and more little things come in to pile up to the already sky high irritation.I was just telling daph today that if i had a big BIG box, i feel like i could fill it with words back to back to back with my complains and still not feel better.

Somehow im not too sure how to handle this pent up frustrations. Im not the confrontational type, not when it will make the situation uncomfortable for everyone. sighz. so lets just hang in there k? In another week it will be over and i will be free from the clutches of anger and weariness!

you know what i feel like doing now? Blowing up a HUGE balloon until it burst. lol. unfortunately i scared of balloons bursting in my face.

okok...bathing time. I will survive!

goodbye charlie

time: 2.15am

i came back to hall today to find charlie the cactus toppled over my fridge, with his body detached from the soil. :(

this is depressing. esp since i was pretty determined to make it live through the hols. But after my trip to redang, it died on me! :(:(

RIP charlie. i dun have green enough fingers.

and talking about Redang..its was a beautiful trip with 3 wonderful babes! :) everything about it was to be missed and though we stayed there for only a short period of time, but it was really quite sufficient since there was nothing much else besides the resort.

I have photos, but have no yet loaded them. So this post will come later. Now, im still nursing a red tummy. sighz. its not only painful now, its starting to itch!

ugh

time: 22.11pm

best..i realised that my blog can be goggled after all. diao. so much for being discrete. lol

CS f0c

time: 21.47

it has been 3 days since the end of camp. The feeling on friday night was one of relief coupled with disbelief. Had we really really completed our 5 days of camp, after months of planning, meetings at starbucks and brickering with the east coast aunty for lower water cost?

I think the moment it ended, many of us were close to tears. I know, some pple may scoff at our emotional display. I mean, so many groups of pple organised F0C every year, what makes yours any difference?

I dun know, maybe it was the fact that we were all year 1s, inexperieced, but linked in this close knit community. It was a camp where subcommers worked as hard as the main commers, where seniors stayed back to help us, where everyone knew everyone else. I had a great batch of year 4 seniors working with me. They may have been supposed to be my subcommers, but i loved the way they had no airs about them, no disdain at being under a year 1. They were really the best. :)

And one thing about CS camps that i cannot comprehand, is the outfits that many of the freshies come in on the first day of camp. Polo tees, jeans, spag tops and skirts. Sometimes i wonder if they were coming for a camp or a shopping outing. Even in my year, this was the case. Leaving me to wonder if my attire of t shirt and pe shorts was wrong.

But ignoring their weird choice of clothes, this year's batch of freshies have been great. Their energy level is infectious and there were times where cheers came spontanously even without their GLs around. When school starts, i cannot wait to see how they will change the school. :)

The golden moment of camp, must have been the animal game. It was GREAT! lol i ran around pulling apart 'animals', then spend a good 10 mins running around alone yelling " ikan bilis" just for the sake of it. lol. One freshies even commented when i ran past him, " ikan bilis is an animal meh?" urm..its a fish rite?

anw...kudos to the whole main committee. It was been a blast working with you guys. For all the slogging, complains and tears, it was worth the experience. It is true that we find the most meaning working for friendship. I may not see many of you much next sem( cause my modules are really quite different from all of you), but i will still see you guys around rite? After all CS is only THAT big. :) love ya guys. meet up for our dinner soon!

f0c starts tmr!

time: 10.56pm

in hall now listening to the rainfall outside my window. I love rainy weather. It makes my stuffy hall room so much more comfy. I was feeling really tired this afternoon from hall's senior camp. But now the feeling has been replaced with restlessness. After so many months of sweat, hard work and teamwork, the camp is upon us! I really really hope cs camp goes well!

and i realised that i have to be careful of what i type from now on. lol cause last year, after foc, everyone started sniffing out the senior's blogs with some key terms and names. i have no intention for this to be found in the same manner la! -_-

flora and sarah coming over to bunk in tonight. i think my room with see the coming and exit of many pple, bags and packages over the next few days. :) Right now, i have one corner of stuff already.

ahhh..very distracted by alot of things now. think i should stop typing and go settle now. heres to 5 great days ahead!!

1 week to camp

time: 1300pm

Cs must be one of the few schools in the world where we have hand delivery of orientation package to the freshmen. yes, admittedly, having a much smaller population than the rest of the school makes this possible. But i've always been impressed by this tradition, as weird as it may seeem.

However, actually doing it is exhuasting. I spend the whole of sunday with shannon running round to houses. We met with loads of adventures, from mistaken identities( well..some names are really misleading), to mysterious houses that just cant be found, to getting attacked with mango juice( i hope that idiot wakes up tmr with the worst sores ever!!!) and fathers who answered doors in only a towel! It was fun, but the response was sad. The number of faces we actually got to see was so pathatic that i started to question the purpose of our mission. sighz...still..i hope to see them during camp yes?

I may be involved in both my school and hall orientation camp, but yet i feel so much for my school's one. I guess it helps that the committee is made up of friends who make the experience more enjoyable. I know that we all have issues with each other some time or the other, but deep down, it is comforting to realise that the displeasure will not be long standing because we all share something a little deeper than simply a 'working-relationship'

In exactly one week, camp wil start. And i know that even with all our apprehension, things will turn out fine. :)
