This December holidays have been quite fulfilling for me. Mostly Caroling, NEMO trip, lots of christmas shopping(thus VERY broke now!) and Lined up for me is a whole bunch of homework which i havent even started touching, much less doing.
Carolling:)
Our engagements this year were mostly house to house and people who asked us to sing for them.Many new peeps joined us this yr but we still managed to do a good job thanx to choir camp~!keep it up guys! tmr we’ll be singing at my grandmas place! wooo~ how exciting! tonnes of delicious mouth watering food staring at us!Christmas is coming n it’s time to get fat-er:P
Project NEMO
I definitely enjoyed being in the OCIP group for project nemo, though our group was largest with 26 people n had 2 main cliques, but all was good, in the end we were still happy and notorious for almost leaving some people stranded on Petong island. Mr(doraemon’s evil twin) gave us a huge scolding for that.
I love my roommates plenty.consisted of huiren, pooty, jasmin, sandra and carmelitaaaa.Our consistent singing made the whole journey fun filled wif laughter and joy.especially with taa the clown joking around whole day whole life.she’s hyperactive.never gets tired(but always last to wake up!) n adores sotong to the max! NOt forgetting Jovian, calwin(huy who doesnt bathe for 4 days a.k.a kelong boy, YZ,ALf, the chris’s, don, CI(another1 i found who lives in the saem estate as me!)& many more:) There were many couples there but i shant bother to name names.But its really romantic to watch shooting stars there pls!my better half who accompanied me was none other than carmelita. thanks taa<3
The girls had a dorm all to themselves with aircon( but only at night cuz there is only elecetricity at night) whereaas all they guys had to sqeeuze under one huge kelong.haha.The water pressure there is very low so its very slow but the scary thing is that sometimes the place runs out of water n if you’re bathing halfway, good luck to you:P
Did i mention to main menu on that island? everyday cfm will have sotong, vege, egg, chicken, ikan bilis, rice buy cooked in diff styles la. so not so bad. but everyday so many sotong untill we dump all the sotong to taa(sotong lover) thus, we named the island…SOTONG ISLAND
Its too long to type my 6days 5 nights here, but anyway it was boat rides, boat rides, and more boat rides everyday(all in all 10 times!) to n fro Petong island, where we taught the kids English, played & interacted with them, helped build roads and paint the school! there, we were working like banglahs,baking under the hot sun!plucked n replanted tapioca too!
So i came back to spore looking like a roasted chicken.hahaha.
I’ll never forget the kids there esp Lukman(leader of my pri 3 kids) ,Emily the strange who loves cat(as seen in pic looking angry with us) n gangsta! so dam cute la all of them.
Night activities on our sotong island were rather fun.since there were 5 groups n 5 nights, every night we rotated activites. It sained on the 4th night so it was oushed to the last night n we did 2 activities that night.Anw there was no curfew that night cuz it was the last night n THT reckoned that we all wouldnt slp anw so there wasnt any pt setting curfew.
1st night: Sashimi making…this was quite yummy! fresh queen fish straight from the sea! micheal tan’s look a like taught us how to bleed the fish n slaughter it! haha. know the trick for that crunchy nice nite in sashimi? we’re suppose to soak the sashimi in ice water for 5 mins! woo! tasted dam good.there were 2 sotongs too. free flow sashimi. taa was enjoying life:)
2nd night: night trekking..this was fun n tiring! we went up n down the hills with long pokey grass brushing our legs, lucky i wore long pants. then came the rocky road. full of algae n so slippery! truly an adventure. walked pass the mangroves etc. so spooky n such, thank God torch lights were created:) ended up at a sand bad(beach) a few hrs later where we slacked for another hr or so. really breezy n cool! shooting stars rawk!! then we realised that there was a short cut that would only take us 10 mins to walk from our dorms. haha. great experience though:)
3rd night: booboo trap making… its like making a fish trap.about 2X1 m long which will usually take abt 3 wks to complete. but with our help that night. we managed to complete in one night! cool shit! after we finished making we trapped jas n chris inside n it was hilarious!
4th night: raining
5th night: kelong fishing & astronomy lesson…fishing was kinda boring until smt unfortunate happened. one of the new fisherman fell off fracturing 70% of his jaw! pain sia!! n he could only be rushed to the hospital next day cuz it was night fall alr n the boats cant navigate:( pooy fellow. Astronomy was kinda fun! learnt the constellations from an ex cjcian astronomy club guy called joe i think. he has a super duper cool laser which can reach the stars in the sky n he taught us with that.so out noght sky was macham a black board. cool eh? i want that laser! its dam ex tho. 200-300 bucks i think. that night there was supoose to be the geminite meteor shower but due to clouds n all.it was more like meteor drizzle. but cool enough! cuz we wouldnt get to see such dazzling stars n shooting stars in Spore. heee heee:)I’m a happy girl @hotmail.com
we also did some water games like snorkling, kayaking, and boom netting(there’s this net behind the boat which we cling on to while the boat travels.the part when andrews pants came off was very funny cuz the currents were 2 strong for his pants to hold.uncle jon warned us to tighten our strings b4 the ride.lol) on the 5thday:) whilst the other groups went to petong.
the last dae was shopping at some minimarts and a very good lunch at golden prawn seafood restaurant n it was like some wedding dinner with crabs prawns etc… when we touched down at harbourfront centre n saw vivocity once again. the 1st thing said was.."wow, we’re back on civilisation" n i was like" waaaa.fashion change already ar?" this shows how much we miss spore. but im sure we’ll all miss that island with not much technology but only each other for company:)
Sandra missed the taste of beef so we had CARLs JR for dinner. shiok!! me n dineshed cabbed back n only reached home abt eleven pm?
Alright, better get started on my homework!!:P
