i just came back from my sec 2 camp and,boy! am i tired. anyway, it was fun.the ohana means family thingy is our class slogan.we got it from lilo and stitch.the camp activities were cool.the best was kayaking! it was almost everybody's favourite.my partner for kayaking was channy. and we were in miss lim's group.when we were kayaking,we saw this disgusting packet of chilli sauce floating on the water.the water was so polluted. it was black and had a layer of oil on top of it.
it was difficult to wash our dishes.all 320 of us had to share ,i think, 8 basins. and everybody was squeezing each other,trying to get some soap and water. we didn't even have time to wash our dishes properly.it was still very oily but we didn't care.
flying fox was fun. when i was preparing to jump,i looked down and saw becky waving at me.my legs were trembling. then, i bent my legs and JUMPED! whooooooooooosh! a huge gust of wind swept past me.it was exciting.very exciting.and cooling! the wind was heavenly.
i love the campfire.we sang songs,watched performances by other classes and performed too! citra was funny.
bathing was another problem... i bathed in 2 minutes!!! there were so many people,the bathroom was so noisy and i didn't even scrubbed my hair and body properly.my hair itched for the whole of next day..haha. luckily,laurel didn't knock my door.
the single log activity was exciting too.at first,i was scared out of my wits and told shijie to pray for me. i was paranoid. but actually,it wasn't that bad. my legs trembled when i first stepped on the log! i forced myself to look at the huts and not down!

anyway,i slept-walk on friday night! i was at home.my first night at home after the camp... i just suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and went into my parents' room.i went in front of them and said,"mummy,did i said goodnight to you and dad last night?" my mum woke up and said,"what are you doing here? are you sleepwalking?"
i said," no,la...i just want to know if i said goodnight to you and dad last night.."
then,my father woke up,and said,"what are you doing here?"
i repeated,"i just want to know if i said goodnight to you all last night.."
then,i sat on the edge of my parents' bed. my father said," go back to your room and sleep."
i said,"go with me." my dad walked me to their room's door but i insisted on him walking me back to my room's door.
actually,it wasn't really sleepwalking.it was half sleepwalking. because i remembered clearly what happened.and sleepwalkers don't.still, i wouldn't go to my parent's room just to ask them if i had said goodnight to them...
but it sure was funny.

new year

school is starting tomorrow.how bad can anything else be? :( soon,i'll have to start to sleep early,and wake up early.
a year passed so fast. its already 2005! everything happened so fast. i still remember my first day of school... i was still wearing my black,plastic and nerdy specs.haha.and my messy hair was tied into a messy ponytail.
and how could i forget 1/8's teachers' day dance? it was a success! i kind-of forget the first part of the dance already.but it was so fun.everything i saw was a blur,because i wasn't wearing my specs..anyway,it was a good thing because i won't have to be afraid.because the audience i saw were just black little dots with no faces.but the outfit i wore was horrible! the top wasn't,but my skirt looked like an apron.everybody said so. the top was sleeveless and white with pink lining.the skirt was white and red checkered.haha. :)and valerie was my partner. she was a "guy". and the "guys" had to wear those goofy retro top,and jeans.
later,caroline's grandfather fetched sharon,anne,caroline and me to ccps.it was ccps's food fair day and we went to visit the school.i missed all my friends.i saw tina.she didn't change much.still the same good old tina! then i saw siting.she was still the same too.i was looking around the canteen trying to spot someone i know when i saw these too familiar people.i stopped and stared at them.then i remembered! they were xiao fei and linlin! how could i forget them?!i started talking to them.they changed.for the better. :) then i met rene.she was still the same too. i was so happy to see them! still remember the good old times! oh mannnnn! time really flies.

i love 6 CHARITY AND 1/8. :)

i'll be going to 2/7 ,hope i will get used to the class.
