> 1:02 PM.
seems like i like to repeat myself, but i really haven't written in this space for a pretty long time. I'll be brief and all so i can touch on what happened for the entire month or so. A word of warning though,
image heavy.
As usual, i'll start with the most recent.
22 March 2008Helped out with ballet exams at Gek Poh Ville CC just as i did last year. It was somewhat my first indirect touch with ballet again after say, 6 months? It felt somewhat weird, but i enjoyed that whole feeling of dance all around.
the kids, going through their steps with ms wong before the exam.
sihui doing her job, check out that girl's ultra long hair!
Juu (new hair color omgah) & Sihui -- been pretty long since we last took a photo together.
Ended everything around 6, got a lift from ms wong to yck mrt station before i made my way from there to shaw to meet ros. The usual 10 minute busride from toapayoh to shawplaza took an hour instead because of a tree that fell along balestier road. Seriously, it was one of the worst jams i've experienced.
Watched
Step Up 2 (again) with ros. Felt a little different somewhat. Then there's that overwhelming feeling again. ROSSSSSSS T___T

21 March 2008 Was late in meeting Yams, Vicks and Joe at
Little India to shop for their ethnic costumes. Sorry! I felt like i was on a heritage trail once i stepped into that area. Vicks got her outfit before i arrived.
Garlands!
We decided to walk to
Arab Street to look for more, and joe managed to get hers there. On the way there, we walked past the flea market at Pasar Lane. I wanna go there sometime!
Headed to
Chinatown afterwhich. I seriously felt like a tourist the entire day, haaa. Thank goodness the three managed to get their outfits after a full day of walking! :D Shopped around with yams abit even after joe and vick left for town. It's been great catching up with you guys and i miss you all.
juuyams :D
Decided not to procrastinate anymore and dye my hair that night.
Chocolate brown now, but it really looks more like black. Not that i'm complaining (:
byebye old hair.
no more a mess of three colors.

17-20 March 2008The last event to close DPA-NPP.
A Learning to Lead Camp at Kota Tinggi.
Day 1 was just spent at the staff hub listening bout the theory parts of leadership though. Errr....
Juu and Rene during break.
Boyf came to pick me up from sch after class and we headed down to town tgt (: I seriously felt super stuffed from dinner. Seems like i just can't resist food i love, heh. headed home pretty early to pack for the overseas trip the next day.
nyahhh~thank you for the dinner and present! <3
>
Day 2 we met at block 73 and had a lil briefing before heading to Kota Tinggi via coach. The journey there was pretty smooth, and we reached the place around noon.
thats DPA-NPP upon arrival, going to our bunks.
The place was supposedly a resort, so the rooms are actually pretty nice. Quad sharing in room 412, i bunked with Carylyne, Nadiah and Hong Ni.
Lunch and games shortly after, i can't believe i fell sick again. The exact same thing that struck me for sports camp came back and i had to go back to the bunk to rest. I felt a whole lot better on day 3, though (:
Day 3 started off with a lil theory again in the seminar room. We had an assessed practical in the afternoon
(yes, yes. spoiler) but it was pretty fun also. Did i mention how the only thing in Kota Tinggi (or at least the place we were at) has only One attraction? It's the waterfall. Seriously, if you ever went there for a holiday, you could only watch low reception telly in your room, or play in the waterfall area.
but its really pretty (:
A downside though, a whole lot of flies and insects (apparently there was a frog in one group's toilet). I caught this photo when i was walking back from lunch. I used my phone to take it and i didnt even zoom. The ants are HUGEEE and sick.
EWWWWWWWW.
We were given free time to play in the waterfall pool and enjoy bbq dinner and music that night. & FMS girls sure know how to have fun. Dancing around our table resulted in a dance battle between them and the BA Boys (?!). Lasted for half an hour before we all resumed to gathering together and shouting songs. Haaaa. Thanks to all those nice people who just kept bbq-ing and delivering food to our table!
Day 4 we rose early to take a graded test which made up 50% of our grades
(i know, i know, like wth!?) 2 short essays to end of camp :/ We still had fun though, the time spent in the room before and after that. We were all tired, but even then, resting on the floor was a game.
lie-on-stomach-and-not-laugh game -.-
There was this segment that we gave out gems to acknowledge what people have done for you, and it suddenly got pretty emotional. I couldn't help but cry also when Jying suddenly just came in front of me and bawled and bawled. (huggggs)
The ride home was seemingly faster than when we went there. Mom picked me up and we drove through macs on the way home (was craving for it since the first day).
Hannah & I (we were in the same group; Cheesy Chickee 5)

15 March 2008
Went down to bishan in the morn to settle the CPF thing with mom before heading to school to collect my macbook. wern was supposed to meet me in sch to collect the stuff and all but yeh smth cropped up. Ended up downloading the software and all even without an appointment (or so they insist) and signed up for
FMS FOC camp (why why why why why must i put in so much effort to try and make new friends and socialiseeee) lugged the stuff to town to meet wern. watched step up 2 at ps, then walked around. Went to funan in an attempt to look for accesories, but i ended up buying stickers instead.
wern fiddling with it in subway. thank you for carrying it the entire day!
i still don't really know what to name my macbook. Serene's black is
dope, Huishan's mac is
Kate White. Hmmmm....

14 March 2008Industrial visit to Starhub. We kinda went there for just a talk and a tour. Pretty okay, not that im interested in that area. I'm thankful its related to our courses though.
---
12 MArch 2008 Industrial visit to Mega Media at Bukit Merah. I thought it would be boring, but it turned out quite fun actually. The tour of the place was what made everything seem interesting because the equipment and design was very professional.
We had lunch at Spring Singapore's Cafe. That building just reminds me of the days of working at SVCA, and looking for Techpoint with Weng :b

10 March 2008
I wonder what people think of us. because FMS is always up to so many whacky ideas and themed-days.
UNIFORM DAY. I felt pretty relunctant to put on the uniform and go to Ngee Ann. Was having a self debate in the morning whether or not to change after i got to school instead.
It's all good though, i enjoyed myself so so much :D
Photos! on Facebook.

4 March 2008Waterhorse premier with the DPA cohort. (aka
Skirt day for the girls in FMS also)

the craziness started even before we left sch for vivo.

The show wasn't that bad, but i'm not the type who would watch smth like that. The company was awesome however :D We camwhored at the fountain outside after the movie.
Met wern after that and we walked around vivo abit. Played with his robotcam YAYYYYY.

haven't updated in about a week again. I've edited like two folders of photos so far already, it's time to blog before it all piles up higher.
I really have no idea how i tahan so long, considering i was the type to skip at least 1-2 days a week when i was schooling in MG. I've been going to school in np
EVERY SINGLE DAY that i need to since the start of the program (28jan) and that itself sounds crazy.
CATS today had us all on our feet with more cute activities given to us by Alice.
sara, serene, marinne, zawani & huda on one piece of paper :P

28 February - 1 March; NP Preparation Camp/ Sports Camp
I think i carry the same attitude to most camps i attend. I go there with absolute unwillingness and by the second or third day get so used to it I don't really want it to end. Not like it's really a surprize for me to exclaim I fell sick during the camp. This crazy headache/giddyness made me miss touch rugby, the nightwalk, canoe polo and dragon boating. Thank goodness i was up and well for the campfire on the second night (:
group identity;
GAIA reached late on the first day to find out that i'm posted to group ONE; Gaia with Ziq & Doreen (only two FMS-ers). Didn't really know anyone else in the group that well so that kinda felt like a bad start. It didn't help that I had to play that stupid caterpillar game again (read late jan/early feb's post about the sick blister) and as you would have guessed. The same blister appeared in the same place ): nasty.
crazy whole series of "ghost" photos we took in the area where we were sleeping. That was on the first night after trying out Track&Field (Running, High Jump & Long Jump), Frisbee, Dodgeball and Floorball. Gave touchrug a miss as i wasn't feeling well then already.
Bush on dustbin (gahaha)
The second day was a breeze for me. I slept for
4hours in aircon while the rest of the DPA people went to kallang for dragonboating (i would wanted to try it though :/) i felt so so so much better after that and so campfire that night for me was great :D
oldschool lightsticks :D
blindfold walk to campfire site, lighting up of the campfire, group cheers, follow the leader, campfire songs, spartans vs GL battle. The whole thing felt pretty short, but it was enjoyable.
took a couple of candid group photos before an official one (which we received on the last day)
that night i experienced the flexibility and differences of a secondary school camp and a poly one. we were allowed to stay up so long as we dont disturb the rest and stayed within the "safe area". At 2am, the 9 usual FMS-ers were still playing oldschool games. The groups started turning in though, and at 4am only 2 groups were left outside. I spent the morning writing a song with Serene & Haiqal for the awesome people in the camp. Talk about a repetitive, catchy chorus :P Ended up staying up till 5am just talking to the GLs. Thank goodness for the 4hour nap in the afternoon :x
random camwhore moments. HAHAHAHAHHA DAMN BIMBO PLEASE
Serene on Ernest's guitar
performed the song to everyone there during the debrief and after all the lil games in the morning. been receiving comments about it even up to now. thankyou for all the compliments and all :D Sat Sat Oi~
Haiqal on the guitar.
camp ended on a high note for me. I'm glad i got to know more people through this camp though (omg i sound so much like im writing a reflections essay). Gaia, Kaya! -__-
JJrinne <3
>
thankyou guys for caring esp when i felt sick during dinner on the first night! Love you guys (:
Gaia's three awesome GLs;
Gab Henry & JocelynI should dedicate a paragraph to them, no? I always grow to like my GLs alot after each camp, and it doesnt differ for this one :D I thought it was pretty funny how they were the ones who choose our very annoying-yet-cute identity & all. Oh, and I'm supposed to say how Gab is very skinny and borat-looking and how he scares th shit outta Serene when he puts the cushion on his back. Also, how "AH Henry AH" is tres goodlooking, how every girl is secretly stalking him, and how every taxi driver is willing to give him free rides. then of course theres jocelyn, who is just chio-- so she's the chiobu.
