21Nov
seems like i'm the last to post abt the class outing we had on 21st...
all i can say is that..i failed. thats personal anyways, and only 3 pple will know it =)
anyways. we met at 12pm at jurong east interchange. At bukit batok station before i boarded the train to J.east, i met up with sijia,hui kai, madeline, yi jiao and my sis on the train.. Yj and my sis were walking throughout the train carraiges to find us. haha..
hmm. den waited for the others to join up... sadly zc cannot join us to go east coast together.. i'll not talk abt the sad / conflict parts..
at east coast, some of us rented bikes while some got skates. haha. our bikes were modes of transport for pple. at first, my sis asked if she could hitch a ride.. she was 1 step ahead of jude wahahhaa! but later i tompang jude instead =p
sometime later, while riding with Prawn, he tripped over his bike..as i was infront of him, i dun really noe what happened. all i know is that he suffered quite a bad injury.. since we have Shi NinG from SJAB can treat him..haha..den we go play pool..as usual i cant aim straight.. maybe its my eye..ah..must practice... after 45 mins of pool, we tompang some pple back to the bbq pit which is quite a distance away, around 2km i think..after starting the fire, we went to return our bikes. the cycling took 10mins to ride there, but 30 mins to walk back.. aww. so far. and i had cramps on my upper thigh for staying in the cycling position for too long -.-
anyways. ms tang and ms tan joined us for the bbq, but left earlier..even before the bbq started.. sorry la points not linked -.- then later Jeline and Mr loh joined us. all of us had a nice time talking abt sciences and army life with mr loh.. lols.. after which, we headed home.. Mr loh took 5 girls (or was it 4?) back to west mall since its on the way.. some of them took jessie's transport home and the guys took taxis.. yeap.. it was a long day and i still have Adventure training camp the next day..stayed up till 2am to discuss my failed plan, and pack my camping stuff.

22Nov - 24 Nov : ATC (Advanced torture camp)
kk i exaggerated. it aint really a torture camp.. well, i had to be in school by 7.30am, and i was late, 7.40am.. with my dad sending me.. thanks dad. =)
luckily they were only in the briefing..else my head is going to roll...around 8am, we boarded the bus to changi jetty.. i tried to sleep but i was unable to.. when we reached changi jetty, there were around 2 schools there. soon we boarded the bump boat to pulau ubin and took a 20 mins walk to the camp resilence. haha.. perspired enough to fill 1/3 of a cup.. digusting eh? haha. i just got a problem of perspiring too much. dunno why.. so as usual we pitched tents after lunch, and had rations.. but my group, given only 16 solid feuls for 16 person, meaning 1 each, and 4 meals in total for the camp (b'fast we arent allowed to cook) meaning 1/4 of a solid fuel for every meal, barely enough to heat the water up to 40degrees celsius.. how to cook maggee that way? anyways. at the end of the first day, after dinner, in total, out of 9 groups, 16 X 9 = 144 solid fuels, we had only 29 left. so we were given a good scolding from the logistic in charge.. anyways. nth much happened for the first day, except admin stuff and tent pitching.. after dinner, strange things happened.. might not go into detail but those who might want to know can ask me.. both sec 2 and sec 3 side had strange happenings.. so we slept in the foyer.. with fans on =D. so the first night was quite okay.. and i took my poncho for my pillow..
2nd day, is the day for activities.
6am - Rise and shine, wash up.
6.30am - Fall in for PT
the pt was not that strenuous or was it too slack.. just nice.. the jog was just nice enough for my low stamina.. haha
7.30am - Bfast.
the times arent correct but.. around there.
1st activity ( 3 in total,) was rafting, its unfair! the sec 2 got kayaking and we got shit rafting. last yr, the sec 3 had kayaking.. wtf.. unfair.. well, we tried tying our rafts together, given only 8 spars, 4 tanks, and ropes. much to our surprise that our raft actually floated! (i think its due to our widest base that we had, less density) hah. after rafting, we had wash up and lunch..den it was land ex. which sucked. i wanted to go for field cooking (which is different from our solid fuel, i think we have to go back to the primitive way of using leaves and rocks for fire) land ex.. walk from our campsite to noordin beach, then to entrance of chek jawa.. sian.. leg pain from class outing still walk so much.. well, before we actually set out, we had geog lesson! like reading a 8 figure coordinate on a map and 10 digits coordinates =)
so yeah land ex sucked, so did rafting..
so that leaves me with the last activity, ATF (no idea wad it stands for, but i call it Advanced Tortue Facility).. i tried the 50-50 difficulty first, and completed it with ease. 1 level higher later, i couldnt even do 1/3 of it.. hais.. got a muscle strain on hanging on the ropes for that long..
so it was wash up and dinner time.
me and jian hui had the best meal .. also our last.. during the camp..
in total, since we HAD solid fuel by stealing, we ate (altogether) 1 can of pineapples, 1can of satay chicken, 1 can of curry chicken, 1 can of sardines, 1 can of baked beans, 1 can of tunas and 4 packets of maggee. (and we were stupid enough to conserve all our food stuff till the last day -.-) jackasses arent we? so it was time for boring campfire then..
it was really boring, since all we did was sing songs and cheer.. waste of time IMO.. though almost everyone else enjoyed it.. i still rmb last yr.. some assholes slept during campfire and got caught by the sir. so we had to sleep in the field without our tents.. luckily it rained and we slept in the drill shed. hah.. bastards of other schools.. cant listen to instructions... after campfire was debrief and then lights out..
next morning,
6.30am rise and shine, wash up
7am fall in with bags ready to leave camp
then was area cleaning, meaning unpitching our tents and cleaning them.. which sucked alot la..
anyways.. after area cleaning, we had a final debrief on the overall success of the camp.. and set off for Home sweet home! haa. the sec 2's still had energy to sing songs at the top of their voices.. well maybe i just didnt sleep enough .. anyways.. upon reaching school, i saw joey waiting for her parents to pick her up i guess. i tried to collect my IC (as in, finally,) but general office was closed.. awww. so i went back home to get a nice shower.. after showering, went out with family to IMM for mum to shop with her sis for jewellery. and sooon after i left together with my bro to go to clementi to get a PSP. walking around, haggling prices and finally, got a choice of what we wanted.. den headed off to eunos for a final rehearsal before festival of joy on 25th
reached the temple around 7.30pm and rehearsal began.. Pia (one of the Young adults) drove my bro, and 2 adults home.. its a kind of joy for us to be able to help someone else in need..
reached home around 10.30pm, had my dinner and went off to bed around 1130pm.. it has been a long weekend..

Festival of joy (25th Nov)
woke up at 6.30am, 7 hours of sleep, and washed up and prepare for the festival..
around 7.30am we left (me and my bro) our house and hitched a ride from Pia again.. thanks alot Pia, even though u dun noe my blog url =)
reached eunos around 8am, just in time for the final rehearsal before the actual service.
had to memorise my script which had a last minute change.. aww. i still did so in the end haha..
1030am, service begins.. while chanting sutras.. somehow i managed to feel the joy in my heart, which i had only experienced once or twice.. after which was words of grattitude, followed by offering of light and flowers, den the drama.. all ran well, and the festival was a success.. around 600 people (inclusive of non-followers and overseas followers) attended the service. it was also Shinnyo-en Singapore 's 1st Anniversary since Keishu-sama consecrated our singapore temple.
After that, with my family and my mum's sis family, went to joo chiat road for our favourite wanton mee. though our record sstands at 18 bowls (mum,dad,bro,sis&me)..i ate only 2 bowls.. sad.. well, later we were sent back by our uncle and den i went to play computer games. after 6 days of being away from my computer.. well i felt sleepy, so i slept from 2pm to around 7pm.. make up for the loss of sleep.

i think this is my longest post so far? yea.. kinda lazy to blog la..
"plans still fail no matter how hard i try to plan. something somewhere will always go wrong..take the outing as example..maybe if i can turn back time...something else might have just happened"

After a month, many things have happened since i last blogged. Due to my laziness, i did not update my blog. Anyways, some updated info abt me :
Accepted for Natural selection (the game i play) Farm teams, to improve skills.
got back my report book, L1R5 11 points.
~too lazy to list ~
Yesterday, my family were invited to join a party at my auntie's house. Me, my brother and my sister did not want to go for it. Since it was not a bbig occassion, my mum did not go as well and hence i'm able to go play badminton weee.
sucks. i'm improving so bloody slowly -.-"
i'm able to go for class outing =D it was on the 22nd nov, which on that day i have ATC (adventure training camp aka Advanced torture camp). 22-25 nov. The class outing was then brought forward to 21st nov, due to many classmates being unable to go on 22nd.
kk enough, my lazy diease has caught me, ending here.
