awkay i am LAG. well, todya i shall blog abt....YUXUAN'S BDAE!!!

25 march, yuxuan turned 3!!!!!! HAPPIE BURFDAE YUXUAN!!! well basically, it was good friday, and we had sqd outing. all of us wore skirts!!! yea...went to kbox. REALLIE fun =) $7.50 for 2h 15 mins, lunch and drinks provided=) we were screaming away into the microphones....and when we sang tuo diao, ppl started looking into our room as the passed, i think they can hear...=X ah well, who cares? =) yea...then we went OG to shop...bought skirt for litian and connie=) yea...

then i left with minting...i went to por por's house. yea. sat there and slack. yak with por por, drank a ton of juice, kachiao-ed ee-anna, played with yuxuan and wenyi. then later ppl started coming...the entire relation turned up. hahaha. we cut cake, ate...and i think most went home after "prize presentation". yea. i bet i was the most tired among all the ppl there. i spent 7 hours running after a small kid, entertaining her, singing songs with her, reading and directing my own play (zi bian, zi dao, zi yan) for her cos she doesn understand words, so i read no use. must act. put my skills to good use(drama-mama!) teaching her how to drink like a proper lady. it was reallie fun. i taught her how to hold her cup, taught her how to drink, equipped with actions and all. (we were having coke) she was reallie having fun, and reallie liked it. she emulated my actions and drank the way i did, ending with a slurp at the back. she's reallie cute. haha. and i fed her!!! the feeding was reallie interesting. i fed her fried wanton, mushrooms. the rice she ate herself. then being as sotong as i am, i dripped mushroom gravy on her twice. i didn noe until i looked at her and saw she had this horrified shocked look on her face. then she kept looking at her arm and then at me. (the sauce was hot) so i wiped it for her. then as i wipe the arm with the gravy, i pushed her other arm and it dipped into ketchup. she looked even more horrified than ever and started whimpering small cries of protest to me feeding her. but in the end i cleaned her other arm while laughing, was careful not to dip another limb into some sauce again, coo-ed her into eating. then she was happie. =) then she was so ultra cute. i finished my drink. she wanted to do the cheers action with me, but i told her i finished my drink. and she was so sweet. she took her cup of drink and poured half its contents into my cup. then she said "jie-jie, drink okie?" SO SWEET!!!! i was so touched. i hugged her and drank with her. yar....then later after dinner she continued to sit at the table and started making teh-tarik. she took ppl's cups, poured water into them and anyhow mix. she got herself wet.=) so cute. she was like "oooh jie-jie see i wet wet..." then she started patting her shirt. i laughed and took her to wash up. yea...then later we continued reading and playing. at some point i got reallie tired and we lay on the bed and started tracing stars in the air. then yarh i went home at 8.30pm...said goodbye and all.

friday was a wonderful day=)=)

my mum and sis and aunt and anan touched down at 7.04 last night. so happie!!! i dressed up specially to go to the airport to see them, with lipstick, earrings, bracelet and necklace...haha. and i wore pink! the horrible, everywhere bao lu pink top, black, sleek jeans and boots. i reached at ard 6.30 with my father. he dumped me at the arrival hall alone to wait for my entire relation to arrive while he went inside the arrival hall...u noe, where the customs are? and where u can get all the good food and wine and goodies. HUMPH. hahaha. it so happens he has the pass. everyone who works at the airport has one. so ultra cool. yea. so i waited at the arrival hall alone, stoned there for like ten minutes, sleepy, dying but still struggling to keep my posture. after all, i WAS dolled up. once in a lifetime k. =)

so ten minutes passed and FINALLY, i saw my cousin leonard CRAWL towards me scooping icecream out of some cup. and he still held out one free hand to wave slowly. i nearly crushed him. so i walked with him to find my grandparents, aunt, uncle, wenyi and yuxuan(!!!! ) ya. she saw me and screamed, running towards me. so cuteeeeee. she's only 3 la. so i sat with yuxuan and read stories to her...hansel and gretel, sleeping beauty for the hundredth time. then we sang songs, like hot cross buns, pat a cake...basically all the kiddy songs. REALLIE CUTE. =) she was so happie. then here comes the funnie part. the plane landed and ppl were gathering outside. there was no place to sit so yuxuan decided to crawl under the bar and sit on the round metal pole along the glass windows. (if u dunno what i am talking abt, go to the airport and take a look) so she sat on the rounded pole and we looked at her on the other side of the bar and sang songs with her. then we were singing hot cross buns, she was too excited i think. she started shaking from side to side, then she lost her balance and fell off the bar into the gap between the glass window and the metal pole. it was so hilarious! ppl started laughing and giggling around us, then we were laughing as well, so i went under the bar with my aunt to pick her out. then she decided not to sit there anymore. hahaha. yar. then finally, we saw my mum and the rest coming out. we all went crazy waving. then they came out, and we all hugged. i was so happie i cried. (okie u dun have to look at me liddat...) then my father was like too kanchiong i think. my sis was talking to me and he pushed her head. real hard, and he YELLED at her to go push the trolley away and dun block the passageway. like what does he think he is doing lor. crazy. then my sis started crying...like that silent kind. i mean, come on. she's only 11. i held her tight and i cried along as well. then my grandparents and aunt and uncle...basically my entire relation, were scolding my father, shouting at him for hitting my sister's head for nothing. he just doesn understand that ppl tend to miss each other. carn stand him. although he took pretty good care of me during the days my mum wasn around, i still cannot forgive him for this move. he actually hit my sister's head. i would have sworn if he wasn my dad. yea, then my brother was having high fever. poor thing. ate too much must be. hahaha. he's beside me now yelling in my ear that he didn eat too much. awkay awkay. my ear's throbbing now...

yea...then we went home lor. and unpacked. MY MUM BOUGHT ME A TON OF STUFF!!!!

TRIBUTE

this obs has been totally successful, not only in making us realise our strengths and weaknesses, it also makes us learn to love each other more, care for each other, and we also learn each others' strengths and weaknesses. in this camp, we learn to overcome our fears, we learn to let go, we learn to give strength. we learn to support, so encourage, to trust.

amundsen 05 has reallie changed me, both physically and mentally, and i will always remember elgene, all the strength she gave and possessed; she was strong enough not to tell u where we were going or going to do. this reallie make us very interested in every single activity. it was because of her power and mystery, that brought us many surprises, both pleasant and unpleasant, and it was this mystery and strength, that made us hold on to everything, that sustained our interest in every activity, because we wanted to live, for our next activity. i salute her for this bravery and courage of not revealing anything to us despite our continual pressing for information. she, is amazing.

i love u all amundsen, for being there for everyone else, for not giving up even when we all felt like it, for loving everything, the way it was presented to us. all the fun times we shared, all the trickery we played, all the teasing we did, (anyi and her advanced formula!!!! press to hear anyi roar!) and all the love we shared and spread around.

thank u huijun, junice and corinna. we 4 stuck by close to each other, at anytime of the day. we shared smiles, secrets, gossips and laughter, abt me being the first to doze off every night yet last to awake, and abt corinna sleeptalking and shocking us in the middle of the night, and abt junice finding her poncho gone, and hujun and her autan. hahaha. thank u for being there for me when i needed u guys most, thank u for everything!

a reallie big thank u to all of u, which made obs possible!!!

HOME HOME HOME.
basically, we didn do anything much. went to pack up, clean up, souvenir shopping. then this is the most memorable part. we all sat in a circle with elgene, and she gave us writing and colouring material. and told us to draw a fruit, any fruit. and we were to explain why we drew this fruit. it was such a lovely sharing experience. then elgene gave us our photos, and we all did amundsen whoosh. we cried. tears of sadness at leaving amundsen, each other and elgene, most importantly, because as we would see each other still, we would not see elgene anymore, at least, its quite unlikely.

then we went shopping. nothing much to buy. we had nothing to do, so huijun peeled me my orange. (FINALLY!) hahah. so nice of huijun. hehe! thnz!!!!!:) yarh. then we went to find sqdmates, found weilin and jiebin and chatted and chatted, until our boats came. and we all went home

okie okie...i shall continue.

10 march.

we awoke and washed up and proceeded to the CooKHOUSE for breakfast. its like we were so excited abt eating at the COOKHOUSE because we have been eating half cooked food, (erhem erhem...=D) for days already, and the thought of EATING IN THE COOKHOUSE with fresh COOKED food reallie made our eyes shine. it was reallie a very delightful treat. everytime we mentioned the cookhouse, our eyes will sparkle knowingly, like telling secrets to each other which no one else knew about. so yeah. breakfast we had beehoon with that wu xiang thingy. NICE. then after that we went out into that field thingy and met elgene. she decided we look too lethargic to begin the day with, so she made us exercise. huijun (gary) was my partner, but later she developed a tummieache...(it was pretty normal) and so she couldn play. i tripled tingyu and yifang. we played some pretty silly but fun games, whereby the loser had to do 5 jumping jacks. the three of us chuan4 tong1 hao3, and we all lost at the same time, so we all did jumping jacks. SO FUN!!!

thennn we went to do high elements. I CHOSE THE WRONG ONE LORH. we had 2 to choose from, the inner one and the outer one. yifang and i paired up and chose outer. BIG MISTAKE. BIG BIG BIG MISTAKE. that thing shook like crazy. halfway up there, i got seasick. i noe its funnie and ridiculous, but DUN LAUGH! awkay anyway.....so i got kinda seasick, giddy and all that, so me and yifang climbed down. then everyone had a turn, and we went for lunch!!!!!!! at the COOKHOUSE AGAIN!!!!! yea. lunch was reallie scrumptious. we had an orange for dessert. huijun promised to peel for me but i didn get to eat it until the 11th. lol. after lunch, me and my orange and the watch went to rock climb. it was pretty scary. i went first. then i was at my 5th block when i got stuck. and it took me such a long time to get to the top. sigh. then those climbers who finished all sat down and gossiped and gossiped. haha. then oh yarh elgene demo-ed for us and she was sooo PRO. and when she touched down, her first and only question was, "did i look good up there?" hahaha. yeaaa. then after that we like, went to pack our stuff and trek back to CAMP 2, where we first came from. me and huijun navigated. then we reached like evening....and we pitched our tents, then some ppl cooked, and others went to bathe. i cooked rice, anyi cooked the vege and meat. and we all feasted. yeaaaaaaaa. then after eating those who bathe had to wash up while the rest bathe. then we all went to sleep

9 march

we set off after breakfast. after like soaking in sea water for a day and not bathing, we were sticky, salt has crystallised and we stank. but things worked out. we were brought to this even more ULU place, where we collected equipment to make a raft which MUST float in water. after lots of clove-hitches, half-hitches, round lashes and square lashes, we made the amundsen raft! we brought it to the quarry, pushed it inside, AND WE ALL JUMPED IN. it was simply BLISS!!!!! CLEAN, FRESH, SWEET-SMELLING water washed over us. we were simply elated. we bathed, cleaned, laughed and played in the quarry, and came out feeling so damn clean. that was my favourite part of the camp!!!! then, we kinda dismantled our raft, climbed out and dried in the sun. that was when i started tanning under the scorching sun!! at least i am not a bai2 zhan3 ji1 anymore.
then, we had lunch, and started trekking, to camp one, the bintan resort. elgene refused to tell us where we were going. she just gave us silva compasses, maps, and clues as to which were our stop points. from there, we were to navigate our way to our new campsite, which we found out later on to our delight, was CAMP 1!!!! yay!!!! BINTAN RESORT ON PULAU UBIN K!!! such an experience. i remember we were ooh-ing and aah-ing at all the lights, buildings and most importantly, TOILETS!!! it was the first sign of civilisation we had in DAYS. haha. and we were so glad to receive it! we pitched our tents on some flat ground outside the camp, but still accessible to toilets.

oops gtg

yayyyyyy!!!!!!!! back from obs!!!! i already miss elgene. and amundsen. :(

7th march.
we arrived at punggol jetty point at 8.30 to take the ferry to Outward Bound School (Singapore). well, its pulau ubin actually. upon arriving at OBS camp 2, which is for the Mobile ppl, erm which is me, we were streamed into groups. i'm in Amundsen, with the first half of my class. we got a wonderful instructor maned Elgene. we were brought to our stores and were made to clean up, check equipment and learn to use them. i was made store IC. :)

then, we were taught how to pitch tents, (unfortunately and fortunately not the npcc type...) and we pitched. then, we were taught how to put on harnesses and helmets, and we learnt belaying. it was pretty fun as we belayed our frens up and down the staple pillar. yea. then we went to pack our stuff into a backpack given to us to take along on our expeditions. stupid me only packed one set of clothes and one nightsuit, and in the end, when i got back to camp 2 on thursday i ended up having 3 sets of unworn clothing, clean, dry and sweet-smelling. grrrr. okie nvm. where was i? uh yarh. so after packing, we went to eat. we built fires and anyi was the cook for the night. we had burnt but half cooked rice with sausages and baked beans. but everyone was hungry, and all the rice was soon eaten up. then after that, we went down to the beach to get the mess tins, utensils and cooking pots washed and scrubbed clean, before we bathed and went to bed.

8 march
we woke up at around 6, washed up, had breakfast and gathered to meet elgene. we were briefed on the medical kit and its contents before we were told to change into our wet suit, which means swimming costume, shirt and shorts, and wet shoes. to our delight, we found out we were going kayaking first thing in the morning. we flopped to the sea with our life jackets and whistles safely fastened to us, grabbed our paddles and waded into the water. we learnt to paddle, forwards and backwards, manoeuver and capsize. then we each took kayaks, paddled into water and started our capsize drill. eunice and jiewei were me and corinna's rescuers. corinna and i paddled, capsized, swam out from underneath and waited in the super salty water for jiewei and eunice to paddle their way toward us. they took our paddles and waited while corinna and i lifted our kayak onto theirs by playing see-saw. i leaned as hard as i could on the stern and waited as corin dragged our kayak across eunice's. then with see-saw again, we managed to shake out all the water from the capsized kayak. we turned it over and got onto it via the pregnancy method and were laughing our heads off in amusement when jiewei suddenly noticed we were no longer in a safe region of the water; we were in the channel, which is something like the expressway where huge cargo or non cargo ships and industrial vessels were passing the waters for trade. shocked, stunned, we quickly manoeuvered our kayak until we were within the yellow bouy, which marks the start of the safe region. we got up on shore, took a short rest, dried under the sun, had lunch from our rations and set off again on kayak. this time, it wasn drill anymore but a real journey, for we were travelling to another camp for the night. we pushed off at a bad time; it was very super-duper low tide, and the shores were ultra muddie. (not yuzhen) all of us, junko and amundsen were frantically trying to find foothold in the hungry, sucking mud while we tried to push each other off into the water. many of us fell in the mud and ended up with muddie legs and arms, but in the end, we all managed to push off and successfully slide into the water, to embark on our journey across the seas. corinna and i started off well, happily paddling, yakking away at high speed. but soon after, i started to get reallie seasick, and terrible giddy spells began. my arms started to get tired from all that paddling and manoeuvering, (because only the person sitting at the back will manoeuver the kayak. the person in front paddles.) it started to get reallie very bad and i was on the verge of puking, but as i didn eat much for lunch, there wasn anything to throw up. so it was just me and a bunch of headaches. my entire head was swimming and i was reallie uncomfortable. i hardly was able to hear what corinna said. i tried to let go for a while and let corinna paddle us while i skived a little but the kayak just wouldn go straight, so in the end, i had to grab the paddles and manoeuver us. i was complaining to corinna abt how uncomfortable i felt and she was reallie reallie very sweet. she knew i was tired from all that paddling and manoeuvering, she knew i wasn feeling well at all, so she reallie did her best to help me and she talked all the way to entertain me and make me feel better. she tried to steer my attention away from giddiness and tried to get me to look at the scenary instead. but erm, unfortunately, as i tried to turn my head to see the beautiful green mountains around us, i got even giddier. and i slipped into a pretty bad mood, cursing the kayak and seas all the way. and corinna beared with me. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO SWEET!!!! I LOVE U! :) despite my cursing and snappiness, corinna maintained a cheerful disposition and tried to make me feel good and tried to improve my seasickness. in the end, i lay back on the kayak for the remaining 4 to 5 kilometres we kayaked, and yes, i paddled lying down. halfway throughout our journey, the tide was so great and we were kayaking so slowly that we drifted off with the tide, unable to manoeuver our kayak, unable to make things turn around. we drifted off, away from our watchmates, away from the instructors, towards the huge, open, glaring sea. there were huge vessels coming our way. frantic to get back onto track, i summoned all my strength, grabbed the paddle and manoeuvered like crazy, crying tears of frustration with each unsuccessful attempt. i was very tempted to lie back on the kayak and nurse my splitting headache and swooning giddiness, and forget abt manoeuvering the kayak, but i couldn. cos now, i am responsible for corinna's life too. she still wants to live. so i gathered all my courage, whatever spirit i had left, (by then, i didn have anymore strength. it was my spirit that kept me going) and paddled. tears were streaming down my face, and yes, i was crying my eyes out. i was frustrated, angry, cursing openly without stopping to think what kind of words i was using and above all, i was scared. finally, with the help of our sweepers, huijun and juuu, as well as elgene, we managed to get back on track, and i released my stress, and lay back on the kayak.

the kayaking went quite smoothly afterwards, not to mention that i screamed when we crashed into a floating house. that irritating kayak just wouldn cooperate and detach itself from the floating house, and we were kinda stuck for a little while. but we pulled it off. and after many kilometres of gruelling torture, (for me at least) we arrived at some ULU campsite, which was to be our home for the night, and we stepped out of the kayak, shivering cold, giddy and sick. this beautiful one night stay resort was so modernised and had wonderful toilet facilities. we as campers could actually afford to choose whether we wanted a sea-view toilet or a garden-view toilet. and it was such a popular hang-out that all the insects like sandflies and mosquitoes flocked to stay for the night too. all the grass were so adapted to the place that they refused to be cut and grew long and sturdy. of course, being such a popular hangout, there wasn much time to clean the place, and it was rather dirty, save the toilets, where lovely, kindhearted cleaners washed away all our "gold and silver" every day regularly, free-of-charge. we pitched our tents, zipped it up tight to prevent pickpockets and unwanted guests like SANDFLIES from entering. yea. so that night, we had instant noodles, didn bathe, and didn toilet at all.
