If you guys are aware enough, there is this thing called Pledge of Silence (POS) which took place this morning. What we're suppose to do was we were told to be silent for the specific amount of time. And surprisingly, it was THE talk of the town. Well, for my class, it was. When one joined, everyone else did. In the end, almost more than half the class signed up, and I was one of them.

So, it was quite an experience, not being able to speak, make noise or any other form of sounds. So, we tried all means to get our message across - smsing, using sign language, lip-moving and the good old writing technique. Most of my class mates were very much equipped with a pen and paper. Another one brought in a mini whiteboard. Yea, that was how enthusiastic she was.

Geez, I've got admit it. It was tough, definitely, especially when you have people like ____, yeah. My class would no who I'm talking about. heh. People like _____ would purposely did things to make you talk or worst still make you laugh at the start of the morning. hmmmm.

And then there was group discussions. Apparently, the good old paper and pen doesn't work. Imagine talking to your friends and you have to wait for them to write down what they wanna say. When you only have 5 mins to discuss. So, we had no choice but to erm, yeah, talk (almost forgot what that word was).

But it was great fun. If there would to have another POS next year, I would totally join again. :D
Now, anyone wants to donate an amount to my pledge card?

I finally caught my Sister's Keepers in the cinemas a few days ago. Since it's release I was very much tempted to watch it online. But somehow, something seems to stop me from watching it online and illegally. Prolly a sign telling me to wait for its release in Singapore and watch it in the theatre.

And I've got to admit I did not regret what I did. The tears shed was worth every penny. And if you'd followed me on facebook, you would have known that the 5 of us, Daphne, Cass, Yvonne, Tammie and myself cried throughout the show. It's THAT sad. And it of all the movies we've watched together there was never once when all of us cried together. So, somehow it was a great experience for me seeing my other friends shed some tears. Cos for some, I've never seen them cry for the past 1 year I was with them.

As mentioned, the movie was THAT heart wrenching. And it was not at all disappointing albeit the change in ending. No, not because I had a good cry but the message that was put across - Sisterly love. The strong love and bond the two sisters, Kate and Anna shared.

The last movie I watched which had such message put across was late Yasmin Ahmad's film Muallaf. The love both the two girls, Rohana and Rohani (the older one) was seen by Rohani's actions towards her sister. Every time they are done with their prayers or whenever they had to be parted from one another, Rohani never fails to give a sincere kiss to her sister. And I asked my sister, "How come we never do that?" And she said, "Cos you never do that." And I gave a peck on her cheek.

Just like the movie The Sister's Keepers (and just like the title), the movie had a strong emphasis on sisterly love. Each and every moments Anna and Kate spent was just so beautiful - from the moments they spent at the hospital to moments they spent at home. And adding to that they had really loving and caring parents who are always there to help Kate go through her ordeal.

I would definitely recommend this movie for those who have sisters. Watch it with your sisters and have a really good cry. I think I'm going watch again but this time with my sister. <3

I'm finally back from camp! A great 4 day 3 nights camp it was. Or should I say it was BOOMZ! Those who missed it, missed a whole lot of fun. Aching all over, sore throat, voiceless, but it was all worth it. And guess what I'm already missing camp.

I'm gonna miss the game we played during mass ice-breakers which has names that sound like branded bags. A game where we had to poke people (guci, sounds like Gucci) and elbow people's thighs (LB, which sounds like LV).

It wasn't easy especially for people like me who can't stand being poked by the side and elbowed on the thigh. I was trying hard, while stopping the other two sitting beside who was poking me so badly that my rib cage would rupture any time, to point out to another person so that they can have the same misery as me. Just like what happened to Fang Xiu over here.




And goodness look how happy Juo Wi is laughing at others' misery. EEEE-VIL!

I'm gonna miss identity-making. Didn't know we could have so much fun making our identity/flag. Okay, maybe the fun part wasn't making the flag but smearing paint on people's face... nyahahaah..

Caution! Yellow flag in the making!









I'm gonna miss the day games even though I didn't play most of them. But still watching my campers participating or should I say suffering in most of the games, was enjoyable. heh.

I'm gonna miss how amusing it was when the SMs placed the campers in a soccer formation during the animal farm game. Super hilarious. One of my campers, Yong Jian was a victim and he was place way at the corner. Corner kick huh?

And the guy in the middle, also my camper, Edmund aka Steven was made a defender. Funny how the guys even use their hands to... erm, you know what I mean.

I'm gonna miss how they got dirty (and smelly) during the bucket life relay. The bucket filled with chrysanthemum tea, huh Eric?

Wonder what rubbish they have put in. Guess what they had to mix the concoction with their bare hands. Oh goody!

But I'm very proud of them. Great teamwork you guys got there!



I'm gonna miss the scandal that my group had during the lighthouse game. Ooooh.

Hotness... Got chemistry eh.

This is BOOMZ!

I'm gonna miss the time when my group had a tough fight with the Purple group at the station "What's the message". But at the end it was a tie and they had to do a tie breaker which was ridiculously silly. Hear this, they had to run from one end to another shouting/screaming/saying/moaning/groaning "Ahhhh..." in one breathe and come back with a raffia string which was at the other end still shouting/screaming/saying/moaning/groaning. We lost though. But it doesn't matter. Right, right, right?


I'm gonna miss the best part of day 1. Night walk!



I'm gonna miss the times when the excos, SMs and GLs played around with them. The GLs with their leaves and twigs trick which somehow does not trigger any reaction to my campers. The SMs at the 'shave the balloon' station had powder and colgate with them, well, I dont have to say what they did, do I?








I'm gonna miss when the group had to do a task for the SMs. And my GL partner, Eric had to suffer. Well, sometimes it's fun watching people suffer.



I'm gonna miss the forfeit of the day. Run around the pole 10 times and stride down Orchard Road, I mean the white line.

I'm gonna miss the great 12-hours Amazing Park Race.

I'm gonna miss the first station of the Race - Bukit Batok Nature Park and how almost 50 of us squeezed into the bus to head for the first station.

I'm gonna miss that awesome slope we had to climb up just to get to our station. Great exercise for the morning.

I'm gonna miss that 100 over stairs my campers had to climb up just to complete their task which made them totally exhausted even though it's only the first station.

But that doesn't stop them from going to the next station - Clementi Town Park.

I'm gonna miss how wonderfully friendly and nice people in the West are for helping us direct to the two SMs (which we eventually found were the excos) after walking for one big round.

I'm gonna miss how relief it was when the task wasn't that demanding and that my campers could complete in less than 10 mins.

I'm gonna miss what my campers did once they got the clue for the next station and when Ange told them to search for the next station. And they literally did. They called up their friends and ask them to search for the next station which was the name of the three.

And that leads them to the next station - Sembawang Park

I'm gonna miss how slack-ish we all got despite only the 3rd station. We even had the time to buy bubble tea. Bubble tea FTW!

Despite the slack-ness, we were able to catch up with the 1st group - Gold aka KimKim. They left abt half an hour earlier than us at the 2nd station.

I'm gonna miss the super nice and friendly SMRT bus driver who made me feel so embarassed of myself. The driver looks rather dark so I thought he's a malay and I asked him if the bus stops at Sembawang Park IN MALAY. And the man was like, "I dont speak malay." And the first thing I did was look at his name tag. Yeah, he's chinese. You couldn't imagine how embarassing the whole scene was. Rahh~

I'm gonna miss the station at Sembawang Park. Why not? We were stuck there for an hour searching for orange flags with number 1 and 2! Banana and Kimkim decided to cooperate with one another looking for the flag but it doesn't seem to ease the burden.




I'm definitely gonna miss when Firdaus did that thumb thingy so that he can hitch a ride. And guess what after about 3 cars and 1 lorry drove pass us, a bus stopped for us and it's the exact same bus and driver that we took to Sembawang Park!

I'm gonna miss the close-to-2-hour lunch cum bonding session Banana and Kimkim had outside Junction 8.




I'm gonna miss shopping at NTUC with the typical auntie, Heather aka Pwincess, who always has her orange NTUC OCBC card with her. I'm gonna miss it every time when she say, "Eh, must go NTUC! I got card can have discount!"

I'm gonna miss the lazy afternoon walk we had after lunch and when one of our medic, Gracia said, "Eh, after eating cannot run..." She sound so motherly.

I'm gonna miss how much fun Banana and Kimkim had during that walk. We planned to walk together and when anyone walk pass us which we dubbed THE TARGET, we surround them, squat down and screamed, "Ahhhhh!" I can't believe I joined them. But it was fun! I can't deny that.

I'm gonna miss the dance that both Banana and Kimkim did at the 4th station - Bishan Park.





I'm gonna miss the time when Fang Xiu asked me what the Banana and Kimkim GLs were doing when she was taking a short afternoon nap and I was trying my best to not laugh. It was tough, okay! Sorry, Fangxiu!

I'm gonna miss walking in the rain sheltered with only 1 poncho - 6 of us. The other two were... erm... Yeah, I think I'll let the picture do the talking.

I'm gonna miss those irritating mosquitoes at the Fort Canning Park. I dont understand why couples love taking their wedding photos when they are like a gazilion of mosquitoes.

I'm gonna miss when the GLs and the two medics were trying to get their hands on those irritating mosquitoes. I'm gonna miss how Gracia joked about the mosquitoes saying the Singaporean mosquitoes are relatively smart avoiding us wheneever we are about to smack them cos they are trained under NEA and have a commando rank. heh.

I'm gonna miss it when the SMs said they are in hiding and they really mean it! It took my group quite a while to actually find where the SMs are and it took us GLs a minute or two to find out - we took the shortcut route. nyahaha.

I'm gonna miss my first trip to Hong Lim Park and my reaction when I got there - I was like, "Huh, like that only ah?"

And of course, I'm gonna miss charade and how the sentence I had to act out - Sweaty sissy boy.



I'm gonna miss the time when we couldn't figure out whether to chiong to the 2nd last station - Pasir Ris Park. And by the time we decide we were at Bedok. So we had dinner there.





I'm gonna miss how frustrated the GLs were when we couldn't practice our performance and that we had to share the same room with the SMs. But in the end, the female excos gave up their room just for us. I'm gonna miss that.

I'm gonna miss the special programme the excos put up for everyone - campers, GLs and SMs.

I'm gonna miss how tired the GLs got while waiting for our turn to go up to "Heaven". I'm gonna miss being inside the lift, blindfolded and when Darren said that Eric and me were at at Basement 1, for once I really thought we were at Basement 1. I'm gonna miss how frightening it was when we were inside that dark room with our blindfold off and with that eerie music. I'm gonna miss thinking that any moment someone or rather something would just pop up beside me and say, "Boo!"

I definitely gonna miss all of that.

I'm gonna miss the wonderful breakfast we ate on the 3rd day - Fried noodles with honey chicken. I'm gonna miss how the female SMs didn't want the chicken cos they were on a diet and they gave the chicken to Eric, Joshua (my camper) and me. And the chicken was oh-so mmmm....

I'm gonna miss how Heather aka Pwincess hated the breakfast for the past 2 days cos it was too oily and how we joked about the food wasn't for her cos Princesses don't eat Fried noodles with honey chicken which I believe is for regular people like us. And that Princesses eat pancakes with english breakfast tea.

I'm gonna miss the long walk to West Coast Park and how much fun my group had.

Eric had fun picking up tree branches. Don't you, Eric?

Joshua (my camper) and me had fun talking in Chinese and Indian accent respectively. And he even came up with this ultra lame family tree. You wouldn't want to know.

I'm gonna miss that smelly toilet at Clementi Hawker Centre which Heather and me went to. It was so smelly that I had to pinch nose while doing my business. And Heather couldn't stand it that she left the moment she went into one of the cubicles. And guess what? We had to pay 10 cents ot get in. And what do they even use the money for?


I'm gonna miss the sudden heavy downpour when we're just a few kilometres away from West Coast Park. I'm gonna miss Yellow Bananas in ponchos which we bought at Sheng Shiong. Eh, wait ah... Need to sing the song. Sheng Shiong all for you.....

I'm gonna miss how we cross the traffic light with our ponchos and tree branches and a man in a van just stared at us as though we were some kind of aliens.

I'm gonna miss the early lunch we had at Mac's but we didn't eat anything from Macs instead we bought food from the hawker centre and I ate soggy roti prata. And it was gooood. My dear princess Heather bought.... erm, Tomatoes?


Tomatoes for lunch anyone?

I'm gonna miss the strong match we had against Kimkim (Gold) in Captain's ball. In the end it was a tie. And I definitely gonna miss those bruises I had when I fell cos the field was too slippery.

Though it's a tough match, we're all good. See...

I'm gonna miss the wonderful masterpiece we did in the Octopus game. Yeah.

I'm gonna miss how my group were at the sand area waiting to play at that station but it rain. Sadded.

I'm gonna miss how disappointed we all were when we were not able to make a kite and instead we had to make an umbrella. Hmmmmm..

I'm gonna miss the water fight - definitely! It was the best time ever.



I'm gonna miss giving my campers a treat to ice-cream.

I'm gonna miss the frustration I felt when the bus driver of bus number 189 just left us even though I was flagging the bus badly. I.need.to.lodge.a.complain.


I'm gonna miss campfire - the good and the bad times.

I'm gonna miss being a (modern-day) witch. Nyeheheheheheehheheehhe....

I definitely gonna miss this -

And Teacher Madalene for teaching us the dance moves.

I'm gonna miss that even more.

And yes, I'm gonna miss the telematch and how I starve myself with Ovaltine. I've got to admit it's nice though.





I miss Fangxiu eating the whole quarter of a lemon. As in literally missed it.

I'm gonna miss the finale - the HMS formation.

And to end this off, I'm definitely gonna miss saying goodbye to all my campers, excos and fellow facills.

Thank you to each and everyone of you for making LAC a huge success.

To my group, Yellow Bananas. I'm gonna miss doing all the claps with you guys. I'm gonna miss the jokes and laughter we shared during the 4 days 3 night camp. I'm gonna miss the Princess, the MP, the Queen (Que Fey), the TAB (typical ahbeng), the Swimmer, the Medical Doctor's daughter, the Old Man, Steven and of course being called a witch. I'm gonna miss every single moment with you guys. I love you guys!

To my fellow GLs, thanks for the fun we shared during the LAC pre-camp, the dance practices and other significant events. Special thanks to Madalene for being such a great dance teacher! You are awesome! Be a dance teacher one day, Mad!

To SMs, it's tough huh being SMs? I can imagine how disappointed some of you were when we didn't go to your station. Reallllly sorrrrry.. But you guys are an awesome bunch! Without guys, we'll have no games! Thank you!

To the excos, thanks for organising such a wonderful and awesome camp. Even though they were that much campers, we still had fun. You guys are the best!


Oh! And of course! How would I ever forget. The three important people - Daphne, Gracia and Naimah! Thank you for contributing your efforts to the camp!

And I guess HMS LAC gonna be THE talk of the town in HMS.

special thanks to those whose photos i cop from, daphne, hwee jian, matthew and madalene!

Wicked cool. All with my down-to-scratches phone.

Hey guys, if you'd noticed, I hadn't been updating for quite some time. My motivation for blogging just fades away. Sometimes I find blogging a chore. The enthusiasm which I used to have whenever I login to blogger and wanting to share the wonderful stories I have with my readers was just not with me anymore. But for my readers, I'd try to search for the long-lost enthusiam and try my best to update as often as I can. I promise.

Recently I went to a few camps (ok, 2 camps to be exact) - Hi Club camp and HMS Leadership Adventure Camp, LAC for short, pre-camp.

Hi (Hearing-impaired) Club camp was fun. But somehow I feel sort of left out cos I missed the first day and by the second day my group members were more or less bonded with one another. But then again, my members were a great bunch of people, so were the GLs. And being in Hi Club camp we are required to sign as we speak. So, imagine how tough it was for me. I felt rather intimidated cos most of my group mates were able to sign very well and not me.

There was even a practical test. My nervousness took over me and somehow my confidence was affected. Wonder if I could get through the test and be an instructor. It'd be wonderfully awesome if I'd to become an instructor. Hmmm.... I need alot of improvement and signing practice though.


Anyway, just 2 days ago I had a pre-camp for LAC. Again, I'm gonna be a GL. The actual camp have yet to start and I'm enjoying my part as a GL. My fellow GLs are an awesome bunch of people. Why not? There's a whole bunch of SCREW being GLs.

And the games are never-ending. Can't wait for the actual camp. 4 days 3 night for freshies. But 5 days 4 nights for the facillitators. The freshies are gonna have a lot of fun but yet they are gonna suffer like mad.


Btw, pictures on FB, thanks to Mad and Matt.


Hmm, updating isn't that bad after all. Will update more soon. See ya!
