a for amanda. the playlist keeps changing but i do not. i like what i do whatever i always do. dancing in the rain, sucking it up. gimme the sun now, i'l love you to bits.

Yesterday. Which is 20th June 2005. I went to the SAFTI library, with huijun and chaiyi. They are my tour guides since I'm new to the place. The whole area is huge. Like a club or something like that. The lawns seem to be mowed constantly cause I don't see any messy weeds growing above the beautiful ground. It's so so neat. The paths and everything. There was no one. No one around the area. You won't see army guys walking around or cleaners tidying up the place. It's a graveyard there. Especially at night. Wow. A good location for a movie take. Cool.

Happy Father's day
Some are like roses
Rather dead than alive
Others...
Greener than the pastures on the Alps
Lovelier than your next-door girlfriend
Smarter than your Hewlett Parkard computer
They are so all-rounded
Just like a ping pong ball
And so comfy to hug
Because they are your father
And you are their children.
Saturday (18/6/05)

I am still sleepy. But I have to be wide awake to go play badminton, since I'm the organiser. Blah... Anyway, val, kenneth, sijie and edmund came. I didn't know that edmund would come cause val told me that edmund injuried his feet and I thought "okay, he's feet is injuried. can he still play?". That's the surprise the whole group was going to give me but the surprise was kind of a failure. I was suppose to go there early and bumped onto edmund but instead edmund was late for one whole hour. LOL. He came in support of Nike. Everything was nike, I am suspecting if nike have their own range of undergarments too. LOL. Sijie and I were behaving really crazy; laughing all the way. You know what I mean. They have to have a chance to interact with one another. Then, everything else after the badminton was a blur to me and I don't wish to recall it since it's so much of information.
SJAB Camp (16/6/05-18/6/05)

Phew. What a camp. I was SO exhuasted after the camp. Slept so much. Just couldn't take the tiredness liao. I need lots of rest, so 3 hours isn't enough for me to replenish my energy and get all pumped up for the day. It was tiring even though I was doing almost nothing throughout the camp apart from being the station master for one of the games. Maybe I was bored to dead and then became really tired walking around, sitting around, looking over them, making sure everything was all right at that moment. The first day was kind of a blast. During the telematch, I was the station master for 'Twister' and it was located on the multi-purpose court. Imagine 2pm in the afternoon on high ground, the sun is scorching HOT. I am alone in the court, setting up the stuff. My god! Sweat was dripping down my forehead like tap water. I was sweating like crazy. Huge droplets of sweat. Really huge!! It's the first time I've ever sweated like that and I was just standing there, under the hot sun. LOL.

Then, when dusk came, we had solo night and night hunt. It was really really fun. We stationed the juniors at different parts of the school from the third level to the first level of the school's block A including the basketball courts and multi-purpose courts. We had mdm hafiza to act as a ghost with the green poncho and a green lightstick over her head as she went back to get the juniors. LOL. It was really funny. I was laughing like crazy and couldn't stop. Then during night hunt, we, as in the seniors and sir, were sitted at the concourse on one of the green table and chit chatting with one another. It was funny too, cause sir kept talking crap. I finally found out that he loves to tlak crap and when he does that, he looks kinda serious; talking some sense into us. LOL. It was very funny and a great time spent between each of us. Then, when it was sing-along time, we really had a fun time together. We were so SO high!! Especially Ivy, she was totally different when she's high. LOL. Unexpected. We shouted and screamed to the top of our lungs when we were singing 'Reach', our theme song for the campfire.

That night, we slept on the tables of the canteen. It was quite comfy apart from the hard surface. Maybe because it was windy and we've got pillows from the sofa in the sjab room. It so much better to sleep in the canteen than in the classroom and in the tent. I felt that morning breakfast was the worst meal cause the milo was really TOO sweet for me. Forget it.

Second day. "I am so tired. Can I sleep?" Everything was okay. Nothing much, but campfire was kinda dull. Everyone was just staring at us instead of joining the fun. I was feeling kinda "uh..." throughout the thing. But audiences sure hinder one's courage to open cause after everyone was gone, the juniors, ex-ncos and some of the seniors came together sing again. LOL. It was fun too. But after the whole thing, I was really half dead. Worst than before, my whole body was really tired and my eyes were closing when sir was talking.

Anyway, the third day was nothing to me. There wasn't any real activity and so farewell was kinda abrupt and I felt weird going home, in a taxi. I need lots of rest cause I still have badminton at 2 in the afternoon. Can't afford to miss it.
Wah..Today is the day when I start to swim again. XD Long time since i touched the waters. It was fun. we swam at the pool for a while before heading for more fun at the lazy pool. LOL The lazy pool isn't lazy at all!! The current is soo strong. When i jumped in, i couldn't hold on to myself. It's SO strong! Really. We went on and on in the lazy pool, in circles. Cause it's in a circle. I lost count to the number of times we went round the lazy pool. We kept being funny in the pool. Riding on each other's back, pushing each other in the pool, not forgetting splasing at each other. We even sat on the crib at the part where there's artificial rain falling down. So funny, we helped people pushed their floats as they floated by. It was very enjoyable. Imagine small rain drops falling down on you. Then we went to catch the wave, wah...SO cool and relaxing. The waves hit onto you when you sit down, and when you lie on the so-called beach, you feel your hair floating up like you are in mid air and the waves constantly hitting you... That feeling was the best!!

After the enjoyable moment at the pool, we went to JP for "lunch". It was already four something, close to five. I am SO full now. Ate ban mian, a chocolate bar called caldbery. Don't know if i spelt it correctly. I am not a fan of that brand.
Yesterday was tan bee chin's so-called farewell party. It was kinda mellow. The witchybongs, val, karen, himlim, yiling, ivy, huiwen, qianqi, linda, amanda, huijun, huiyang, andy, alloy, noel and me were present. That's all! It's like just half of the class. I don't understand. Okay, putera flew back to indonesia and cause the whole i-am-not-going for the guys. This is kinda sad.

Tan bee chin is actually a nice teacher. She may be quite irritating some times but i think we saw her bright side. The sunshine that no one seemed to realise. She's wacky. She may not know this, but she is really wacky. From reading passages at super high speed to being all smiley, she is the most memorable chinese teacher i has so far. Why? I guess it's because we are the only ones who appreciated her as a teacher and a friend. Others like you-know-who always seem to be at odds with her and being nasty to her. Thinking about it now, i feel really sad for her.

Anyway, her house is kinda neat and clean, partly because the only thing that separates her and her siblings are the walls and doors of the terrace house. Lol. They have a balcony at the top too. But it's kinda dusty and there's nothing up there. It's amazing that she's got 8 siblings and the next door is also her home; i think her family is too big, so 2 terrace houses is the only way to solve the overcrowding problem. Lol.

Lots of chicken wings and otah was not really tasty even though it's spicy. Sijie and alexia were eating chicken wings throughout the whole party. There were way too much chicken wings!! We really needed big eaters like sijie and alexia. All thanks to them, chicken problem was not a problem after that night!! LOL. We took photos too. Quite a few. It was mellow but unforgettable for a teacher like that and a barbeque manager like val. LOL. Nice work val. Good at cleaning up and making barbeque food. Can't miss her out on a barbeque party like that. Also, not forgetting the big eaters too!!
So happy today.
Went to with him today.
First date?
Could be.
Don't know why.
It feels so good.
To just talk to him.
As we walk around aimlessly.
Even if its on the same level.
Realised I love him.
So much.
He's such a wonderful guy.
Gentleman.
No words can describle him.
Today's the best day of d&d camp. It was the games that were fun. The teachers conducted inter-class captain's ball and other sports too. Like floorball, soccer and basketball. I was in the B Team of Captain's ball. All girls team. Sijie, Alexia, HongYan, HuiLing, JingJing and me. Six members. It was really tense to wait for our turn to play. But when we were in the 'battle arena', I was all pumped up and got going. Again and again, we scored in goals. I was really happy and thrilled when Hongyan caught the ball. She was the captain, standing on a chair. We were so good. The whole class was watching and cheering us along. I still remember when I threw the ball to Hongyan, all eyes were fixed on the ball and it was total silence when the ball flew from my hands, up in the air and to hongyan. "YAY!! WOAH!!" The thunder of applause and uproar from our class, 4E1. It was exhilarating! I screamed each time we had a goal. I just couldn't contain my happiness. The whole team was happy. Really happy. We make a great team together.

There were moments of uneasiness from our reserves. They wanted to play when it was the crucial moment. We didn't want to lose. It was really difficult to tell them how we felt about it. The point is they are too gentle and .... I won't say anymore. Just can't help them. The next match is tomorrow. We are actually competing with our other team; A Team. (We've got so many girls that we had to form 2 teams.) It's so hard. Battle of the 4E1s?! This is utter .... I'm flabbergasted. It's either you win or you lose. My feet hurts now. I got a burst blister on my left feet and a wound on my right knee. If things get worse, I guess we'll let the reserves play the game tomorrow...
I have so much un-deciphered.

Second day of d&d camp has past. Feeling tense whenever I think about tomorrow's game. I admit I'm bad with balls but I love the game. Just can't resist the temptation to play. Whatever it is. Opportunity has chanced upon itself.

Wah..I want that to be our class shirt.
