okay, YAY. i am done with tags. my gosh. i cannot believe i'm going to the airport tonight and leaving tomorrow. how will i survive i wonder? and like no connection with my life at all? this worries me. i need to be updated about like whats going on! :):):)

nows the bigbig exciting time! haha. i just realised that because there's so much i want to write i'm actually lazy to have to write. ah. but no! i will.
COALS! 24-26nov :]

day 1:)
haha. i woke up and went to school all excited! it was really nice i guess. i mean because you worked so hard and put so much effort into everything. it is really so nice to like see everything come together:) hahha. so like HAWK rushed through our stuff, we got labelled, labelled bags, prepared stuff and just got everything settled! it was so so nice and beautiful. hahaha. so then we happily left for LABRADOR ADVENTURE CAMP! haha. and a scared me was like trying to study first aid notes. haha. but well, we reached! so we got briefed and had belay school! (if youre wondering why i'm going so according to event, i'm looking at the timeline as i do this) hahaha. so belay school was fun! i think its good that we were given the chance to clearly learn how to belay and also be a climber and all. even though i have no idea when the knowledge will come in handy, i definitely enjoyed it! :D

and there was lunch! i tell you the food at the camp is seriously good okay! got nice food, then also like sleeping arrangements all very nice:) okay, so after lunch, we had low-e!!! hmm, there was bouldering, which i officially think is very fun. though i am not good at it at all. haha. but marilyn helped to set hawk's record! that sadly got beaten. but still:D hahaha. and mr chee is very very pro okay, you see the way he does it is every cool.

then there were the other rope rope stuff. the army crawl one, then got acid river, then the swing swing one. haha. it was so hard for HAWK to balance on the log okay. we keep falling anf falling and falling. haha. it was actually very funny. so we decided the best way was to hugL:)
but clumsy people cannot go together. haha. i won't say who but they admitted they had "no sense of balance" hahaha! but we made it out of it well and happy. and more bonded! it was good that we kept cheering! YAY YAY YAY :D

so then we had wilderness! haha. had first aid! i'm surprised that the test was not more detailed. but i'm glad because even so, my knowledge is not very good. hehe. but still, i passed! :D hahaha. so then it was campcraft! i think my group, which was noorul, me, celine, charlene and renuka was very funny! haha. we were quite slow and took a long time to start. but it was a whole lot of fun! haha. instructor jieshi helped out too:D welll, the sad sad thing, is that, OUR POPCORN DID NOT POP. haha. you know we started talking to the popcorn. at least i was talking to it. and like every time we would get so excited "the corn going to pop, corn going to pop!" and then we got so super excited and hopeful when the oil started sizzling! haha. we were worried that our bowl couldn't take the weight because like i jieshi said they would give us like 5seeds? and we got like 30+++? haha. but yes, it did not break on us! thank you bowl:D so we blocked wind, and started crazy metods in hope that there would be enough heat to cook it. we used out hands to fan the flame and all. ahaha. celine's "wonderful" idea.

hmm, then orienteering! i thought it was like totally tiring okay! because like we had to fun all the way to labrador park. but i must say it is really a nice and super beautiful place. you can see the sea, and feel the breeze. haha, i never knew singapore had such a place. then again, i don't know much of singapore. okay, well, hawk stayed together. and for orienteering i was with ming zhen, lingyi and celine. haha. it was very fun! we were like not so sure of stuff but we managed to find our way! haha:D somehow we had no idea where to go. but we went to the jetty which was so so nice too! haha. well, but i think HAWK really did well, BECAUSE WE WON FOR ORIENTEERING! yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) hahahah. we all did our best and we won! hahaha. "we did it, we did it, we did it, hooray! we won for orienteering, we did it, hooray!" and so there was the run back to camp. and hawk stayed together! i am so proud of all of us, that we managed to stick together no matter what! :D good job and well done HAWK! hehehehehe

oh no. my blog sounds somewhat like an essay. its so lengthy. i apologise, but i hope you all still read it! :)

hahaha. okay, so there was rushing to shower, dinner, reflections, then PRE CAMPFIRE NIGHT! hahaha. i think all the groups did really well! i mean, it was nice, but i had no campfire feeling. possibly because there was no campfire. and like only kerosine lamps. haha. but well, it was really awesome to watch everyone perform. I THINK ALL OF YALL DID WELL! :) YAY. after that there was night walk. which was fun, though i would say kinda weird. but still, enjoyed it! hahaha. oh gosh, like so many activities remind me of the guides camp. i miss i miss i miss guides so so so so so so so much! :( BOOHOOOHHOOO. but am i glad to announce that we're having another outing? hahahaha.

wait, back to COALS. so went to bed. i think i slept like within 1min? because i was tired and the bed was comfy. at least for camp. haha. its hard to keep being high and smiling all the time okay? I NEED ENERGY. hahaha. so we planned to wake up early, they did, i didn't. haha. i told you, i am a pig. so like when i amanda loh told us to go back to sleep, me and charlene were like "blong" and we wentt back into wonderful land :D

day 2:)
there was breakfast! and then high-e!!! haha. so fun! there was "this group" and "that group" . i was in "this group" so like we cheered on that group and went "go that group!" hahaha. it was so fun! well, high-e was challenging, but i do believe that its a wonderful experience:) haha. so we CHEERED AND CHEERED AND CHEERED. and well, i think that this group did a wonderful job! we had instructor wenmin and andeline belaying for us! they were very nice so we thanked them! hahaha. and like instructor andeline said we were very enthusiastic and that she was proud to be able to belay for us! so nice:D hahahah. yes, i did the like cross and walk over that thing, then i did challenge pole. where you like stand on the pole and and then jump down! i think we did great! thank you mr chan. and it was as though i was hanged, because the thing was all tight, so now i have abrasion. but yeah! it was the bomb okay.

hmm, then outdoor cooking! i enjoyed it! was a lot of fun cooking the stuff and all. but it was sad because we got gas stoves and not like have to dig a whole in the ground and use punk, kindling, and branches the guides way. its more fun that way. i wish i can do it again. but well, so we cooked and i was in charge of my potato! haha. beautiful potato! that i talked to too. haha. so we did well i guess, and we got good food! :D but sorry instructors because we didn't give them food to try.

oh so we were broken up into new group! we were group 1! :D hehe. we have nice nice people from hawk, indigo and gryphon is group 1:D hahahha:) so it was iniative games! with instructor shao min and stella :D it was a lot of fun! hahaha. we did a good job running and playing the games! hahaha. strange monster was funny.or was in strange creature? but it was fun definitely! :D hahaha.

oh and then rockclimbing! eek. (oh no oh no! i'm running out of time!) hahaha. it was nice rock climbing! but i was very tired. and well, my technique was wrong so it was hard for me. and i was kinda disappointed i must say. but well, thank you instructor may and also the whole belay team. i'm glad that i was not allowed down because i managed to reach the top. i'm proud of that:D hahaha. but well, i must improve! jiayou jiayou. everyone in group 1 was really good so well done! :)

and abseiling! i really enjoyed it! its so fun you know! the teacher who helped was very nice! hahah. and as usual, i got the "do you know what your name means thing" hahaha. I KNOW I KNOW! wahahahaha. but well, its a lot of fun! i did twice! :D and then he let the whole rope slack so i could decide whatever speed i wanted. its nice! you can go "fast fast fast then STOP!" hahaha.

and then the ZIPLINE! my gosh. its very scary okay, looking down as you like run! haha. but its a lot of fun! thank you lingyi, i love you too! hahaha. she said "i love hawk! then i love dawn!" as she went down:D hehehehe. it was nice talking to ms poon before i went down, its scary but i don't really remember much. everything passes so fast. haha. so when i went down and i said "i love hawk! i love cedar guides! then I love badi" (because she was feeling sad). ahahaha. so i then officially joined the trolley gang! its very fun okay. there was me, lingyi, vivian and kelly. but kelly left so it was us, with ms siew and instructor jane. haha. the people kept coming! but its nice i guess. one instructor even said "thank you trolley people!" haha. and me and lingyi had fun watching our "movie" hehe.

after that i went for kitchen duty! its funny ou know! haha. noorul and hui sian both had holes it their masks. and we only served like gryphon. haha. but yes, i enjoyed it. oh my oh my! i am reaching that wonderful part that i always enjoy talking about! the the the the.....
CAMPFIRE!
haha. it was great, i really enjoyed it. all the singing and the emcees and watching the performances. i think hawk that we did great! we tried our best and it really showed i feel! hahaha. our like whole script changed and we did impromtu stuff. but it was nice and fun! we worked so hard for it so i'm so proud of us HAWK! we did well! :D

and there was song singing and stuff like that. and i cried:( hahahaha. i'm not that surprised! i actually think i cried like more this 1 and a half months than i cried like the last few years of my life. hahaha. well, i got many hugs:D thank you hawk! i love you all too. and thank you instructor amanda poh and may for your hugs and well wishes. i really appreciate it. thank you ms poon for your words of wisdom. thank you hawk instructors for your understanding. and thank you everyone else for the comfort. i love you all! :D and the campfire ended. whiich is always the sad part! oh but we sang and played a lot of games! it was very funny funny and fun! teachers and also leaders were also there! i truly enjoyed myself. sigh. i can't help but compare. it was nice and fun but just different from guides.eek. so i cried and all, had debreif. everyone seemed sad. camp was ending. of course we were sad. and well, sleep.

day 3:)
hahaha. i woke up! and my energy level was back! no more sad dawn. haha! so well, it was fun, we cleared up. we were incharge of like "grassy" areas where we competed for litter! hahah. they called me a betrayer:( hahaha. but well, it was very very fun! haha. it was close, me and celine in the battle for who can find more plastic things. haha. we even digged the like ground for litter! there are a lot of stuff buried okay. its so funny actually. hahaha.

then we had nice photos! and a lot a lot of fun! we did 2P banja and also sang canadian vesper with guides! my gosh. how much i just love that song. so we had nice hawk nice, singing songs! epo e tai tai in killing the BUTT! haha. so funny. and then we wrote the most AWESOMENESS CHEER! :) hehehe.

we performed our cheer to instructor diana and she said some stuff to us. it was sad, and after that we cried. most of us. and as usual i think i cried the worst. haha, it was a sad moment for us. but it was funny seeing people and their crying voices. WAHA. celine's tried hard not to cry and focused on stuff. well, we had nice talks together while waiting for the bus! and in the bus we just sang all the campfire songs! :) HEHE. it was loads of nice nice fun! and we went back to school got nice talks and like the prizes were announced! hahaha. HAWK TIED WITH ALPHA FOR MOST ENTHUSIASTIC. hehhe! but yay. so happy. so we performed for instrutor jieshi and u-shiuan:D and then we ordered pizza! beloved wonderful pizza and had fun eating and bonding! it was nice that instructor jieshi came to join us. haha. she kept asking us to talk to her. haha.

and then it was HOME. went with noorul taking up space in the bus. hahaha.

i love the cheer. and well, this was what i wrote in my diary on wednesday when i was feeling sad:

And well, i'm so afraid i made the wrong decision. i mean, i knw taking up the offer for IP would mean leaving cedar but i didn't know it would be so hard. God blessed me and put so many wonderful people in my life! And i had great fun, great memories and overall great time. HAHA. and like ms poon said, I keep the memories and I leave the footprints. oh my.

BOO. but cannot, i have to get this posting done soon cos i have to start getting ready for COALS! ohmygosh. this is so exciting! i think it will be lots of fun:)

well, let me see, i took 13 with samantha and we kinda got lost. because we were following this girl and her mother because they looked like she was going to ECP. hahaha.
but we found our way! :]

oh lots of thanks to charmaine, catherine, archana and zhi hui! because they brought the food! :D we got lots of chips, bread, curry puffs, nuggets and all the other stuff! drinks too! :) so we managed to get lots and lots of stuff! YEAH. thanks so much!

hmm, so we waited a while and then we went right to the beach! and we set up the food and all so we ate. it was so so nice. and then the guys went to rent their bikes and me and samantha went to rollerblade. you know they went all the way to the jetty! haha. and like we were so tired just to get like to area D haha. its a lot slower rollerblading. so we couldn't take it and stopped to rest on the grass. hahaa. and then finally we saw the WHITE!!!! hahaha. they we back so we made our way back and ate more! :D

haha. we got to play in the sand and water and we made the horseshoe and lots and lots of SANDBALLS! hahaha. we'll throw them into the sea and all! :D so it was very very FUN! hehehe. we made stuff and a lot of writings! and i also got buried:D my legs down, its nice you know. because like the sand was nice and cool.

we had the rock. the nice nice rock so we spent time there looking at the sea, and also singing campfire songs. it was so so nice i tell you. beautiful times! haha. then like the rest soaked in the water so me beaunice and samantha watched the sunset on the rock and took photos. it was really really nice you know. sigh. guides!!!!!!

hahaha. so there was the talk talk talk and we went for dinner and talked more! it was really really funny listening to everyone! haha. i think we really got closer to each other you know! :D hahaha. i think that fro becoming sec 2 we really changed so much. we like matured so much from being sec 1s where we were so new to the guides thing and had to be taught so much stuff. i think we really got so so much better! and also a lot closer to each other. haha. and of course, we learned to have a lot a lot more FUN! :]:]:] hahaha. so the day was beautiful and so so much fun. its sad that not many people were able to make it though. haha. but thank you everyone who came because you made my day so special! :D hahaha. and i did not cry. hahaha.

COMBINED PATROL OUTING 21november!
hahaha. there was ixora, kingfisher, orchid, and morning glory! hahaha. and well, me and samantha were rushing because we had to like pack everything. but daddy and mummy gave us a lift so we won't so late. so we had all the stuff, for the musical, the outing, and also rollerblades. hahaha.

so we met and then we went cycling! haha. i still can't cycle you know. but well, i rode the double bike! thank you charmaine:D because my life was so so in your hands! thanks for stabilising the bike! it was very very fun okay! i rode the bike for the first time and it was so much fun feeling the wind blowing and all. and we got to the jetty! it was windy and nice! :D

hahaha. and we had the picnic! which was mainly made of potato. hahaa. but it was nice! there was food:D sadly there weren't that many people. haha. i'm sorry that charmaine says that i'm evil but there were 6 ixorians! hehehe.

haha. then we played captain's ball! haha. it was very fun! tiring and like warm but it was a lot of fun! hahaha. running here and there, throwing, catching. haha. so it was nice! hahaha. then we played in the sand for a while hahaha. and then it got late! me and samantha were sad because we didn't get the chance to rollerblade! all the way for 10mins!!! :(

well, the sec1s just left and then the sec 3s and 4s. it was sad okay. because there wasn't even like billybanja and also. it was like just "bye" so it was so sad. sigh. to think it was like the last few outings while i was still a guide. so it was sad. i was sad. very sad. and you know what happens when dawn is sad? i cried again. when like charmaine and zhi hui were leaving. i guess i'm not ready to leave my old life behind and embark on my new life. i guess, its sad. haha. i tld kaushi and she was like then the other day never cry. hahaa. i guess because for the sec 2s, we've had our goodbyes countless times. with all the hugs andcries and all. but its different for the rest i guess. eeek.

i can't believe i'm not going to be a guide anymore. i mean, i know once a guide always a guide. but it'll no longer be "i'm in guides" it'll be "i was in guides". no more song sessions, foot drills, knots and lashings, badges, iniatives. no more.

CEDAR MUSICAL:)

haha. so me and samantha left and we were rushing like mad. finally got on to the bus but there was a jam so it was so so slow like more than an hour. so like throughout the journey we were just so so so nervous and scared that we'll be late. so once we got off we RAN RAN RAN AND RAN. and then we reached! haha. like just on time. abt 7.25!!! hahaha. that was way to scary okay. so we watched the musical and it was AMAZING. haha. so nice okay! and like melinda looked so dolled up. haha. BARBIE DOLL! it was very funny. haha. but well, the whole thing was just so so nice and special.

after that we took photos and more of them! hahaha. it was nice. it was rush here and there but still. so then we went for supper! guides supper:D haha. along with yoo jin and chloe. it was nice okay! haha. i brought them to the coffee shop outside church and they said they would break my bones if it was closed. haha. but i am alive! haha. yeah, so we had fun talking, laughing, eating and drinking. and i got home like at 10.50. ooops. hahah. yeah. so it was 2 AMAZING DAYS! :D

me love guides you know.
with guides my life is so special. thank you all!
i need my ixora and hoola outing. and also another sec 2 one, and a christmas one. and hmm, i think just a whole cedar guides one. that will be so nice. ooh. columbus too! haha

okay, so well, dragonboating was AMAZING! oh gosh, i say lots of stuff are amazing or wonderful. note to self: expand vocab. haha. well, BOAT 6!!!! it was nice nice fun! i made friends! :) i am suddenly like expanding my social network of like knowing ppl and then i'm leaving. how wonderful you know. well, it was really tiring, but i think we did a really good job! we were so fast! :D okay, not that but we did well! GOOD JOB BOAT 6!!! hahaha. i feel funny saying it. you know like before we got started, jin rong was like "who weak who weak?" haha, i am so a weak swimmer. so i said i'll be in close proximity of her. so she can save me! :D WAHAHA.

the pedalling was great fun! but of course, i am aching. NEED MORE ARM POWER! ahaha. but yes, it was nice! haha. we went all the way to the bridge! and like when you're in the boat, and like using your arm power, you like just paddle. its like you just paddle. all your concentration is on like getting the strokes and timing. so me and brenda were like "wah. go so far ah?" hahaha. and like everytime we would so call go and "attack" the other boats and then, SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH and then we're all wet! i don't think i'm a very good splasher:( but people are okay, people are. i am evidence for them. and also, it didn't help that jin rong kept bullying me and go splash water at me:( hahaha. and i couldn't splash her back okay! heartache. BUT YES, SO SO FUN! hehehe. thank you boat 6! :D whee.

okay, then there was the campfire re performance!!! hahaha. HAWK GOT IN FOR CAMPFIRE! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY:) i smile extremely widely! :D hhaha. so we performed! but like half
dead. AHAHA. so after that, we took bus to plaza sing! and we went to KFC. and you know we joined like 6 mini tables together! this nice nice uncle like moved his seat 2 times for us! haha.
so e had like 2 and a half hour lunch together with the instructors! lots of fun:D:D:D

me and badi: we need to do the "thing"
noorul: oh oh. the "thing"
charlene: hahaha. yes, the "thing!"
me and badi: the "thing" we talking about is the same "thing" a not?
HAHAHA.

our side of the table mentioning the "thing"
us: must cut the the "thing" the "thing"!
inst diana: huh? cut fringe?
noorul: oh oh. dawn going to cut fringe before camp!

but like all through it i was like cutting out the stuff. and like then badi dropped the photo and me and scissors. so we were looking for it under the table!

(badi, me, and like charlene, renuka and hui sian were all looking)
noorul: eh! what you looking for
badi: uh. i drop my money!
me: ya ya. looking for badi's money!

okay, no time to post already! well, had great bonding time! we quickly rushed to do the books and gave it to them! and we embarassed ourselves singing the barney song to them at plaze sing outside KFC. hahaha. oh and like the manager spilled drink on my skirt. so he gave me cheese fries, pop corn chicken and pepsi. hahaha. he very nice! so we went back to thank him. haha:)
YAY. great fun! post photos later.


okay, i happen to be slightly depressed.
slightly. because i know that if i say that i'm depressed it'll come back to bite me. but okay, i am not depressed. no this sounds more right
dawn's depressed= slightly stressed, a little confused and a little tired.

15Nov08
YEAH! that beautiful day is today! and guess what? i am HOME. beautiful home! wahahaha. ts so nice to take a break! haha. well, loads of things to do! and i realised that like i really don't have a lot of time left till my trip! and then once i'm back its just a while till school starts! i must say, i am quite overwhelmed. i have not touched a single bit of work at all. and i'm not getting anywahere! eeek. i need to go to the library soon! so i read some books. sigh. but jiayou dawn! you can do it! :D hahaha.


YAY! dawn is back to post like promised! and i suspect this post to be very very the long! who knows? hahahaha. but i wish to post because the CEDAR GUIDES ANNUAL CAMP 2008 WAS AMAZING! :D:D:D:D

okay! i guess realised that i haven't posted about like practically everything! so well, i will have to stay late and like just dedicate a lot of my time! because of the person i am, EVERYTHING MUST BE WRITTEN DOWN! hahaha. okay, so the schedule! last 2 weeks:)
and i have a sorethroat now. which is terrible! and i drank like so so much water. so basically i am bloated and uncomfortable. haha, well, thank you HAWK for your concern!

Tuesday! 4nov08
hahaha. it was the 2P class outing! it was a lot of fun! and i like got to relax and enjoy the nice scenery at the beach! on the rock seeing the waves and feeling the breeze is so amazing! :) hahaha. we played in the sand and all! okay, not really me. but well, then IT RAINED. it was so sad. because like we were just satrting on the baberque. so like at first everyone was in the shelter than a few of them went to try and start the fire. it was very funny but thanks everyone for the effort! and then it got so so heavy, the like shelter flooded and cos of all the thunder and lightning we called them in. so it was kinda boring in the shelter. we couldn't do much! hahaa. but then we sang birthday songs to clara and chi yan and there was even the cake! haha. though it was a little mushy it tasted nice! yes it did! and then we did 2P cheers and also like sang campfire songs! HAHA. i enjoyed that! we also did billy banja! it reminded me of like the last day of school! i miss 2P already:( so then we tried to start the bbq! but it wasn't really successful! haha. like we weren't very good. i need to learn how to start a barbeque! i can start fire using like wood and in the dirt with matches but not a barbeque? i will learn! :) but well, with rachel and the help of tiffany's dad we got fire and food! haha. it was a lot of food because like by the time the fire started quite a lot of people let already! but still, we had a good time eating and also chatting:) haha. Thank you guys! :D

wednesday 5nov08
hahaha. HUI SIAN'S HOUSE! hehe. thank you for welcoming us hui sian! her house is cool! there are like so many of her drawings and all pinned up. so hawk went there and we were like "ooh, i like this one" "no, i think this one nicer!" "eh, this one also very cool" haha. so then we got the poles and we did our flag! it was so so beautiful okay and we were so proud! G-double O- D-J-O-B goodjob goodjob! haha. it was nice but i think we'll have to like change it now:( its too big but oh so very cool!

6nov-9nov 08
OH MY OH MY OH MY! i have reached the time! wahaha, i will get ice cream and eat and post! the sheer sweetness:] (i give a wide wide smile!) and yes zhi hui, i do miss our happy time in the camp though super hot and stuffy. and I MISS HOOLA HOOLA SO SO MUCH! okay, now i will introduce the camp to evryone! though it is long, and maybe not so interesting to everyone, i wish to remember everything and thus i shall write everything down! :) hehehehe

there are 6 patrols!!! and the theme of the camp is the OLYMPICS!!!! hahha. there is HOOLA! the one i'm from, atheletics, michael phelps, milo susilo, NBA adnd pink patz! hahaha. and let me see, the most amazing hoola comprises of....
me, alex, zhi hui, luo ting, si min, celest, li ying, jing wen, rabiatul, clara, sarah, melissa, khadija and sharyl!!!!! :D hehehe. everyone is very very nice:)

hahaha. we've gone through so much as a PATROL! :D hahaha. now let me see, i look at the intenery as i basically talk about everything that happened. and hopefully i can finish soon! :D HAHAHA. but i think that will not be likely due to my total likely to write about aknost every detail. you know i was having my super long bath yesterday? and i thought about like all the other thing i was going to say... but now i can't really rmb! :(

eeek. okay, there is just so much to talk about. and now that i think about it, if i really want to write everything, it'll be so so hard you know! well, let me summerise just basically the super can can rmb things! :Dhahaha.

day 1
HAHAHA. so there was the super long long bus ride to the camp! and i still don't know where camp christine is! but still, the bus ride was so long and i was squeezed with alex and melinda! ahaha. but i must say it was a lot of fun! :) hehe. but she refused to let me sleep! even though i was like half dead and alex too! oh my oh my! pink patz identity is so like some alarm la! she'll just shack it and shack it over and over again! and the thing is, the sound gets really irritating! so when we take the hair band away from her she starts crying! i think melinda is so like a doll okay! especially now that she cut her hair. hahaha. you will get it melinda! haha. but i still love you! :)

hmm, then we got there and carried our very heavy bags! you know i think my bag is way too big. aiyo! i brought like so much stuff assuming that i'll have a lot of time. i brought stuff to write and all, and like in the end, i didn't manage to do anything! haha. i think i didn't realise that i wouldn't have light in the tent. i can't believe it. hahaa. but wel, we had to pitch our tents! i'm sorry hoola that i had to leave and take a rest half way! but it think you guys did a great good! i'm glad i managed to help:D hahaha. GREAT! our tent was very nice i think! :D hmm, we did GADGETS! it was a lot a lot of fun! there was the baggage rack, clothesline and shoe rack. hahaha. i loved all our gadgets okay! they were so beautiful! i'm sad that i couldn't take a photo of them! but yeah, it was so nice! good job HOOLA! :)

and then there was cook duty! i think it was so fun! and like the kitchen shelter was amazing! hahaha. i was doing the fire with genevieve! and it was a lot of fun. haha. had to shift the fire here to there to here again. hahaha. i think she is very good you know! like she maanged to sustain the fire. and i think it was really tiring for her. but well, i had a great time! :D it was like "my side no fire my side no fire! " hahaha. but i think it helped to improve my skills? haha.

and then there was the night activity! somehow i dont't remember that much of it. but well, we knew that one of us will get taken so we were like very scared! haha. so we would always like stay together and all and count strength. haha. but i remember there was the blindfold part. like li ying was in front of me adn zhi hui behind. and we were holding on so so tight. and practically hugging each other! haha. but they tickled us! haha, i think it was so so funny though. but i think i might have injured some of the sec 3s. sorry! :( but i think we tried our best and it really showed our unity! hehehe. HOOLA! :D

we slept and then i got to realise what it was like in the tent! it is really so so warm and stuffy you know! i think i was sweating a lot! and also i was exposed to all the insects that love my sweetness and love leaving me with all the scars. we sleep and then woke up! haha.

day 2
tiring! but we woke up at 5 to bathe and also we prepared our campfire item! :) we had some games that were a lot of fun! then we had orderlies duty! oh and like from then on we ate in the meal ring! i still don't really get the meal ring actually. its hard work but i guess sometimes you don't really have to understand things. they guess are that way. haha. but it was a new thing:] it was so tiring to have to like wash all the stuff, and also sort all of them out! i was so drained okay! but luckily more people came to help! :) and then we left for east coast park (ECP) oh ECP. hahahahaha.

haha. DAWN CANNOT CYCLE. yes she cannot. sad sad sad. hahaha. but ECP was definitely fun! hahaha.
thank you may for your help
thank you sec 3s for trying to help
thank you lovely sec 2s and other guys for cheering for me!
haha. but i think maybe i am just not meant to cycle you know! so much time was to spent to try to teach me and also so many methods! but yet nothing much came out of it! i'm very very sorry! but well, i guess i tried my best! at the end i managed to like cycle a while? haha. maybe like 10sec. hahaha. BUT I WILL LEARN! i will! jiayou jiayou! :) hahaha. then i changed into skates! something i am way more used to. and i was fun! :D i tried to help others. jiayou! you will all skate then we can go ice skating! WAHAHAHA. so fun!
and then there was amazing race! i loved it okay! we went around looking for ppl and talking to them, taking photos! it was quite wacky but it was really great to get to run around on the search as a patrol:)

day 3
