Escape outing!
Escape!! Went with crys and hwee to escape ytd. Jas was supposed to come, but unfortunately -hem- she fell sick. Aww man.
Anyway, guess who's the late one again? U get 100 points for guessing hwee. Haha. Why were we not surprised? We cleverly board the opp bus stop that says it stops opp downtown east, but we ended up, where else, but the bus interchange.
Dots...
Diao...
Wastage of bus fare, according to hwee. Haha. So we boarded the correct bus this time from the interchange and finally reached escape!
Apparantly my attempt to slash the price of the ticket didn't work. Ah well. So we still paid the same amount. Sobs. Plus!! The person so kindly told us that about 5 to 6 rides were either closed or down for maintenance after we had bought our tickets.
So the whole day we rode flipper (teacup thing) and viking like 5 times repeatedly each. Haha. Coz alot of the nice rides were closed. Like alpha 8 and family coaster. The yakult thing made my chest hurt. Oww.
Wet n Wild. I admit it's amusing enough to look at crys and hwee scream their hearts out down the steep slope. Haha, really! xp But hey I was nice enough to take a really nice photo of them!
Haunted House. I am never, under any circumstances, stepping in there again. I was very freaked out when we stepped into total pitch black and darkness. Hwee left after hearing my screams coz of the dark. So mean! Haha. So crys and me proceeded into the house. And I wasn't gonna wet my pants ok! Bleh. At first I was real spooked. Dunno why. Maybe I just hate darkness. Then this guy behind me thought it was very funny to keep shouting suddenly to scare us. Yeah I screamed qutie a number of times coz he shouted, then I realised what he was up to. -___-
Brave (hem) crys leaded to way and we followed the couple in front of us till finally we were out in broad daylight!! Ahh... Then I realised I had grabbed crys's arms so tightly her arm turned red. Oops.
Go-Kart! Man it was fun! Haha. I wanna try it again and again, if not for the LONG queue. We had to queue for about 45mins to get on. And since we're under 18 we can't drive another person, so we had to get a go kart to ourselves. Yay! Hwee was very funny. There was this queue of go-karts starting with hwee, another driver and me all driving like three go karts stuck together. Haha.
At around 6 we left escape and bought bubbletea! Except hwee who stole pearls from both of us. We had to run after the train coz of the bubbletea. We were waiting for the train to show 1 min left before rushing for it coz we wanted to finsih the bubbletea. Then suddenly from 2mins it showed departing. So we all gasped and quickly rushed forward into the gates to board the train. Haha. x_X
Went home, had dinner. Watched full house. (: Then I was getting very tired, so I slept very early.
Today, woke up with very bad muscle ache in my calf. Must have been the frequent queuing up and walking in the theme park. ><

Merry Christmas Eve y'all! (:
Changed template. Coz I thought the previous one was quite plain.
Today went out with family. I finally bought a new pair of slippers. And I hope it isn't as lousy as the previous one that broke. Haha. xp

Outing
Today went out with crys and hwee. Sam can't come coz she gotta pack up for msia trip. Aww man. ><
Anyway, we were supposed to meet at 1045. But for safety's sake (ahem), we told hwee 1030. Guess wad? She turned up at 11 plus. x_X Haha. Next time should have told her 9. Crys was early. Yay, for once. I was punctual!
So I met crys first then she went to get bubbletea. Then we went up to cine kbox and met hwee there. From there we went on a kbox mania!
Had a nice cozy room to ourselves. At first had trouble choosing songs and we were, uh, hesitant on singing too. Oh yeah they said outside drinks werent allowed. Even my waterbottle filled with pure water. Dots. Like that also can. I'm healthy wanna drink from my own bottle also cannot. Bleh. =(
But anyway we had fun! Had lunch of fish n chips. Uh.. It was okay I guess. Just that too salty and the food so little! So I koped crys's fish, that she didn't want. Haha. Yup, so we chosed song after song. We sang ... and ... screeched ... and shrieked. In the end we couldn't finish all the songs that we want. So had to fast forward. Haha. Ah well, but it was a fun experience.
After that we all went to bugis! For wallet shopping. Coz of me. (aww...) Yeah I seriously need a new wallet. You should see the state of my old mouldy wallet. Gahs. So after many rounds of walking the small little shops (they are so cute!! the suff are damn nice too!), I decided on this white/cream coloured wallet within budget. Yay. It comes with a free chain too. Apparantly hwee interpreted the chain to be a bracelet and promptly wore it on for me. It's quite nice except for the fact that there's the QQ bear dangling down which makes it look sorta weird.
We went starbucks for drinks. Hwee didn't get anything. I wonder whyyyyy. Soon movie time was here. Me and crys bade hwee a nice goodbye and off we went to watch...
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA! (smuggling in our starbucks drink too. shhhhh...) It was nice and quite okay. But the time is a little too long such that I got quite bored at some parts. The climax was really at the end. The girl (Lucy) is so cute! Haha. Shall read the book sometime. (:
After the movie, while we were on the way to the mrt, my lousy slipper (left side one) broke. The strap that binds ur foot to the slipper just snapped like that. Halfway while I was walking. I got a shock man. So great, how am I supposed to go home limping the whole time with my slipper dangling from my foot.
*bulb lights up* Crys had this brilliant idea of binding it to my foot with my rubber band. It sorta work coz I wasn't limping as badly, but I walked like I had a sprain or something. Haha. Hope not many people saw my rubber band tied around my whole foot look. xp

201 class chalet
Back from 201 class chalet.
1st day- 20th dec
Crys, hwee and I met at Sam's house to prepare the food for potluck. We're gonna make sushi! And potato salad. So we got to work and the sushi was successfully made except for a few minor exceptions like sam's sushi being humongous in size. Haha. Next comes potato salad. Yay we were finally able to make it. Mixing it with eggs and mayo was fun. And the salt and pepper too. Haha. Sam filmed some of the process down. (:
At around 2:45pm, we made our way to tampines to meet the rest. So we lugged dunno how many tons of food down. Reached there too early and decided to walk around a little. We were at this section "exclusively hers". It was for females. All the jewellery and clothes. The toilets were also specially for female too, with lots of mirrors and stuff. Looked like a makeup studio to me. Then we were asked to help out to carry the rest of the food for bbq. They bought so much food! Haha. So we met everyone and took bus 29 to the chalet.
It was at changi village there, some fairy point bungalow. That place quite ulu. And only the rooms had aircon. The floor was very dirty too, such that I had to wear my slippers everywhere I went. There were ants (big ones) and insects everywhere too. But besides that, it was quite okay. We all started to play games that the games ics conducted. There was this "pass the polo sweet with the toothpick in your mouth" and "scavengar hunt". The "polo sweet" one was lame. By the end of the game there were broken pieces of polo sweets all over the road. Eeks. The "scavengar hunt" was fun. Some stuff we didn't have, so we had to use a substitude and use our imagination to interpret it. It was very funny. Our team very imaginative and creative k. Haha.
After that we all got quite tired, so we started playing card games. Then halfway, there was a game of cherrades. Wow man it was damn FUN. HAHA. Acting out stupid stuff to guess. We were split into 2 teams, so each of us have a turn to go to act out the thing that we were supposed to so that our team members can guess. Haha.
Later it was dinner. Potluck. We ate sushi (made by us) and lots of other food. Had almond longan jelly for dinner.
Before that, there was a search party planned to look for qiuping and jamie. Coz they didn't come back since the scavengar hunt to find some items on the list. They said they wanted to ask other people for the things, but didn't return. Everyone was worried since they didn't bring their handphones along and qiuping had the map with her. So they shouldn't get lost right? Then we were all scared by the, uh, different possibilities that could happen to them and I think I needn't name them. But in the end they came back x)
Watched a bit of the 9 o clock show. Then went back in the room and all the roomies (consisting of FK4, qiuping, jamie, valerie, jasmine, shihua, anzie, simjoo and yi qing) had ghost story telling. We even offed the lights. By then everyone was screaming at every single movement or sound. Then we decided it got too scary so we switched on the lights. But before that sam got a snapshot of the darkness. Everyone freaked out at what she was taking. Haha.
After more instances of ghost stories, embarrassing moments, scandals and jokes, we all went to bed. Try to, that is. I think no one could sleep, except shi hua and sam. Haha. Jiahui is one real freaked out person. I just lightly touched her accidentally she gasp and made sudden movements. Then just a teeeny weeeny innocent sound, she goes "What's that?!"
2nd day, 21st dec
Woke up around 9 plus. Got a shock coz I thought I nv slept at all during the night. Had a lousy breakfast of potato salad. Then Anzie's mum bought nasi lemak. So sad I can't eat coz the whole thing is practically smeared with chilli. Blehhh.
Went for a walk with FK4, jas, qiuping, jaime and val at the beach. Then crys sam and me went back to take cam so can take pics. After going back, we rested for a while. Then crys and I bought ice cream! From the ice cream man. It's those kind where the ice cream is between 2 waffle pieces. NICE.
Then we proceeded for kelong walk. Took lots of pics and even a video of the scary secret stairs. -ahem- xp
Went back and played 1 game of mahjong. Helped crys and learnt a bit as well. Then we went to changi sports complex for bowling. At first I didn't wanna bowl coz I didn't bring socks and they sell socks at 3 bucks. But in the end we decided to bowl, without socks. The woman saw and started to scold us. So in the end, crys, hwee and me shared one pair of socks. Oh man. Imagine that! Bowled quite okay today. Round score satisfactory. Haha.
After that FK4 decided to go for the cliffwalk. Halfway spotted another mystery step and brave sam decided to explore, so we all followed suit. Hwee kept cringing and shrieking. She even turned back and grabbed me. o.0 It led us to some open space of other ppl's chalet. So we went back and played games. The four of us even played the step game (o-ya-pay-ya-som).
Played 2 rounds of mahjong (man it was damn addictive). Won the first one. yay! Then crys won the second one... Without realising before shihua pointed it out to her. Haha. Went on to help start the fire for the bbq and cook some food. Ate loads of food. Chicken, Hotdogs, Fishcake, Crabmeat, Satay, Marshmallow (YUM!) and others.
Crys decided to pull me out for some "evening walk". But not even a quarter through the walk, we saw so many lizards crossing our ways during the walk, that we got freaked out and ran back as fast as we could. Some walk. Haha.
Played more game- concentration (constipation?), 2-person donkey etc. Then I was off. Dad and mum came. Wanyi took a lift to mrt. Then I got back to my lovely bed. Yay!
Saturday, December 17, 2005
YAY I finally finished Da Chang Jin! Haha. Aww, I'm gonna miss it. o.0 But nvm, now I will be preoccupied by Full House. YAY.
Anyway, woke up early and headed for comm meeting. That's where ys lent me full house. Haha. Discussed about lots of stuff so it sort of shot over time. And I finally submitted my result slip. I realised so many other people (more than half) haven't submitted. And smart crys signed in Jess's place. HAHA.
Went to have lunch at Great World City then window shopped. I still can't find any nice wallets. Gahh. Or school bags either. Oh well.
Now it's raining heavily with thunder. Omg, the thunder just struck. Not happy that I mentioned the weather? =X So bright it even shone up my "un-lit" room. Oooo. Freaaaaky..

TV
A day with TV for company.
Few days ago I watched Miss World. I think the Korean one very CHIO and cute. Too bad her speech nt good so din win. Her outfit was the most unique and outstanding, maybe coz it stepped out of the boundaries of the "gown" type since it looks quite traditional to me.
Watched more Da Chang Jin. I'm getting hooked. Although it's the last disc already. My mum even went to the extent to get the metal kinda bowls they use. I almost wanted to buy the costume in hk (yup they sell it there). HAHA. But I decided I won't have the guts to wear them during racial harmony or whatever.
Recently started to watch "The Biggest Loser". Actually it's quite interesting. It's like a lot of encouragement when you compare them before and after. Plus all the strenuous and tiring tasks. At first when I saw it appear on tv and the name struck me, I thought it was rude and vulgar and mean. But actually I realised Loser refers to person who has lost the most weight. Haha.
Then there's all the Taiwan game shows. Always makes people laugh. Haha.
There's also sesame street. HAHA. Don't get me wrong. I watch it while looking after my brother. -ahem- And barney...
Ohh and today I especially watched the dance performace in the final episode of rainbow connection. Wanna watch ppl dance. I know nothing about the story or the plot. ><
Tmr must wake up early... *yawns*

fumings
Sigh. What on earth is wrong???? It's like as if my efforts aren't even appreciated at all. It's like everything is bad and wrong and wadever. Fine then, I'm lousy. The attitude that carries with it....
I've had enough of it.
-fuming-
co
Went for the last organ lesson of the year. x) It ended late tho. So naturally I was late in *beep*. Which resulted in less time for*beep*. Which resulted in less time for *beep*. Which resulted in *beep*. Or was it half an hr? It was just a chain reaction.
Sorry hwee! =X
I was early tho. Starts at 430. Met YS, who kindly helped me carry yq. Hee. Then YS sold me the tiao yin qi which again cannot be used for the yq. Not really, jus the low parts coz it's actually tiao yin qi for liuqin. Haha. Anyway, spent sometime choosing the song to play for
Xiaozu with wls. I played lousily. Freakingly lousy. And it's so horrible. I'm not even comparable to my jnrs. Sigh. Argh dun wanna talk abt it. That's why i wasn't high. Sorry if I was irritable and in such a bad mood. Eeks.
Anyway, sry sam that u missed the outing. We did sms u. Nevermind still got more chances right?? (: Of course!

others
Hmm, let's all recall. What else happened since after the hk trip..
Sat 10/12
Photoshoot!!! Nahh, it's not for any I-Love-TF Mag (i wish!), it's just a free photoshoot worth like 500 plus bucks which my mum won from joining some contest. Yup, so we dressed up nice nice and arrived at the studio at around 6pm.
The person there informed us to get ready for the casual shoot and brought us to the makeup room to get our makeup done. It was the first time i tried that eye lash curler thinggy where they kiap ur lashes. I kept twitching and blinking. Very sensative to it. The person was quite exhasperated I think. No hair done yet until formal, except changing my parting to side. Shot lots of pics with a ball, standing, sitting, candid etc. Very fun!
Next the formal. Alright I agree that the money that we won was definitely worth it. The makeup was nice, could covered my mess of pimples on my face. Plus they managed to make my hair into a lion's. -.- Ok I admit it's quite nice aft I got used to it. For more info on this pic, click here . They used this hair spray thinggy that made ur hair hard so they stand up and lots and lots of pins. Omg, it was so cool. Sitting in front of the big mirror having makeup plus hair done. First experience.
Then after that it was around 9pm and we still havent had lunch. I had to wear that hairstyle to go eat. I bet everyone was staring at me. o.0
Mon 12/12
Outing with crys and hwee. First outing in ages since school closed I think.
Plan: Bowl/ Movie/ Shop
We all reached at around the same time (me and hwee took the same train) albeit late. It was around 11:15am. So next time, we should all arrange to meet at 10:45am, then we'll all reach at exactly 11am. Haha.
Went to cineleisure to bowl first. Took lift to level 8. No bowling centre. How bout level 6? Nahh, cinema. Level 9 then. No bowling centre, some emax game centre. Hmm, eh, NO LEVEL 7! So where's the bowling centre??!
Nil. Zilch. None. Zero. Nuh-uh.
Haha. Well, crys was sure that she had gone there to bowl a year ago. Then after walking rounds and rounds wondering what to do, now that there's no bowling centre, we decided to play arcade! Hand Hocky! (air hockey??)
First round, me+hwee VS crys. Crys won. xp
Second round, me VS hwee+crys (at first was me+crys VS hwee, but i was kind enuf to let hwee have crys- tt sounded wrong doesn't it?). Crys and Hwee won again. blahhhhs. Haha.
Next, racing cars! I was leading first!!! Until... Hwee caught up and I flew and overturned my car. =( So hwee emerged champion in the end, runner-up me, second runner-up crys, coz she ending up in the car pit thinggy and wasted quite some time. I wanted to play the dance thinggy, but there was an expert there and none of them wanna play with me, so in the end din play. Haha, not that I can actually dance tt thing. Just wanna try. x)
After arcade, crys called her aunt who told her that MarinaBay's MarinaSquare had a bowling centre. So we all took the train to Marina Bay. It's quite an ulu area. Only got one bus and there were lots of greens around.
Halfway through the bus ride, we realised that we don't noe where to stop!! AHH! HELP! So we smartly decided to follow 2 girls who look like they were going bowling too. Haha. Got down at the stop where most ppl (plus them) stop.
Walked like almost 1 bus stop's distance and finally, I spotted this Victor's Bowling Centre. Whee! Finally we can bowl!
Booked the lane at the corner so that we could humbly (ahem) play. Every one started going to the long kang and getting 2 big fat eggs. Haha. But as time passed everyone improved but me... -_- crys could get at least something at every shot while hwee had beginner's luck(so to speak)- a spare on her 3rd shot. Me? All the experience I had went down the drain. Why? Kept eating eggs all the way, till the second game we played, where...
.
.
.
.
I got a STRIKE!
Wow man I got a shock. And I think that inspired me, coz i started to bowl loads better than b4.
And alright I admit I didn't wanna bowl coz apparantly 2 experts came and occupied the lane nx to us. And the guy got a strike and the girl almost got a stike. Dun wanna malu. =X
Anyway, after that, we proceeded to Bugis Junction to shop. Got 2 presents. Hee, then went coffee bean! Ice blended. So long nv go there already. Walked around, looked at cute and interesting stuff (like the tooth pick container). Then crys needa rush off so we all went home.
BYE!

back! frm hk
HI! I'm back from HONGKONG. Actually quite a while back already. Okay shall blog briefly about the previous week in hk. (:
first day.
Landed in hk at around 5pm plus. Weather was not bad, around 20degrees. After unpacking at Prince Edward's Concourse Hotel, we went to Central to look at the nice christmas decorations and shops. Took lots of photos. x)
second day.
OCEAN PARK. It's really big. Went there b4 actually few years back, but forgot everything, so it's still a new experience. Weather not very friendly, around 15-16degrees. Quite a fun day. At first couldn't find our way around coz i realised we entered from the other island. Ocean Park consists of 2 islands actually. Travel by cable cars to reach the other one.
I like the cable cars, the distance is real long, so can see lots of the scenery. Went to sit this ocean ride with my sis where the chairs that you sit on move to stimulate what you watch on the screen. That kind. At the end, where all the water come out, they squirted water at our faces through the sides i think. We also to look at lots of exhibitions, from dinosaurs to pandas. Bought some panda souvenirs including a hp keychain. Oh and I like the cuttlefish there! NICE! (:
Ocean Park!
third day.
Sort of free and easy day. Weather still horribly cold.. Only brought one jacket which isnt fit for such cold weather. Went to different places to see the tourist attractions. Sat a boat.
night: SHOPPING at mong kok. wheee. That's the only real time that we did shopping in hk. -_- All the night markets are very crowded. Sell lots of cheap and nice stuff. Like clothes, accesories and stuff. Bought mostly clothes. Wanted to buy a belt, but have to buy the jeans together with it. o.0 We shopped all the way till like 11 in the night. By then was really tired... Quite in a bad mood coz the humidity was really low and my lips were swollen and cracking like nuts. ARGH!
fourth day.
Took a bus to Shen Zhen, China. I never knew that we could take bus to go China. Haha. Journey wasnt that long. Anyway, went there to see the "window of the world" aka "shi4 jie4 zhi1 chuang1". It's just this really huge place where the landmarks and wonders of the world are built. Articifial ones of course. There was the Singapore merlion there. But not the same size. Almost everything's reduced to ratios like 1:10 or 1:5. Some small ones were original size. Saw many many stuff like Taj Mahal, Effiel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Sydney's Opera House etc. It's a really nice place.
One setback was the weather. Became around 12 degrees. And inside I've only worn like 2 layers. COOOOOLLLLLDDDDD. Haha. And halfway had diarroea. What luck. =_=
fifth day
DISNEY LAND!!!! Finally, after waiting for like so manyyyy days!!! omg it rocked!!! Alright I admit I'm sorta too old for these kinda stuff, but I still like these kinda places. The magical touch. Sleeping beauty's castle and Tarzan's tree house and Space Mountain. Whoots!
Sleeping Beauty's Castle
Wore three layers of clothing, plus my jacket = 4 layers. Packed our bags and took a train to disneyland. From there we checked in one of the disney's hotel called hollywood hotel. Boy was it different from the one we were staying in the past few days. It's soo nice! With everything disney and mickey. The soap bottles, slippers, pen and everything. So we loaded our stuff and off we went!
We split into 2 groups. Mum, Dad and bro. Me and Sis. So me and my sis went to Tarzan's tree house first. At first we were quite apprehensive coz we didnt really like the idea of travelling on our own taking into account tt we can't speak much cantonese. But I can understand roughly tho. Haha.
After that we went on this mad hunt to find all the different characters to take photos with.
Tarzan's Treehouse
We visited every section. Alot of rides need queuing up and the queues were VERY LONG, so we didnt queue. In the end by lunch time we had travelled to all the sections but didnt even ride a single ride.... YET.
Had lunch together with family then off we went again. At first we went as 1 group to sit the train where it travels in a circle around the whole area. Then went to the whinnie the pooh ride through hundred acre wood. So cute!
Split up again. We went to ride the rides! Teacup, Space ride and Buzz Light year ride and others. Almost rode everything but we didn't manage to get the Space Mountain ride though, too many people and all the fast pass tix were sold out. Ah well. Halfway through there was this Disney Parade! All the characters performed and danced around. Mickey Minnie Donald Goofy Pluto Cinderella SnowWhite SleepingBeauty Chip&Dale Alice in Wonderland ToyStory LittleMermaid and more. It was very very spectacular.
Disney Parade
Had tea break of hotdogs and hot chocolate, then we all met up again to take the boat ride down the river of the adventure land section.
Lion King Play
After dinner, we went to see this LION KING PLAY. It's damn nice! It's sort of like a musical where they act out the story of lion king (part I). With the characters like Simba, Nala and Scar. There were lots of dances and songs. The effects were cool like all the lightning and fires. It's in English by the way. And the people really can sing man. I really enjoyed that and I think it puts a good end to the day. Later..
Around 7pm, high above the sky of Sleeping Beauty castle there was a magnificent display of fireworks! They played all the star songs of the different shows and put up the display. Very very grand. Took lots of photos and videos of it.
Fireworks!
Then it was "shopping for souvenir" time. Went to the disney shops to look for stuff. Bought a tee and a nice ruby ring (july birthstone: ruby). And pens too. Sis bought a hat with Stitch (lilo n stitch) on as the pic. Haha. My bro got himself a wizard hat (the kind where mickey wore in the magician thiggy) and a magical wand that lights up. Haha. I think the total cost was alot coz the stuff there were ex.
Stayed around to collect our photos that we took with mickey! (shall upload soon) And took photos. In the end we only left at around 11pm plus. Reached hotel and I found out that it was showing Lizzie Mcguire (the movie) on Disney channel on the tv! btw the tv was a big flat screen. So stayed up till v late to watch. heee. It was the best day I had, I think, in the whole trip.
sixth day
Pack up. Took a bus to "Inspirational Fountain" and rode the 4-wheeler bicycle (ahem crys hwee and sam). Explored a little, took pics (again). Then around 3 in the afternoon we set off for the airport and off we were back to Singapore! Reached at around 7pm. Real tired.... Haha.
Inspirational Fountain
Yep, so that's the trip to hk. x) Pics here. Today went out with hwee and crys. Shall blog abt it in the nx entry. for now, ciao.
