A Moment to Breathe ~
Student leader training had started on Wednesday! It will be a 3 day training, commencing on the 16th of May till 18th of May (Wed to Fri). All successful applicants (for student leaders) are compulsory to join this camp.
First day of the training was bad. I arrived at college at about 8. 20am. The activities started at around 9am. It was a bad start. Wilson could not handle the crowd. The student leaders are/were overpowering. Wilson raised his voice, but the student leaders were not bothered. Poor Wilson! Mr Chew, advisor for this training, kept shaking his head side ways. It was a total disaster.
The ice breaking session was not too sucessful too. Some of the committee members said that the student leaders did not understand the purpose of letting them play ice breaking games -- which was to expose them to various types of ice breaking techniques, so they can use in Orientation next week. Some said Leo, our SOT course marshal was too soft spoken.
After lunch, we continued with our team building activities -- before that, those who arrived late were scolded pretty badly by Mr. Chew -- he is famous for his "sacastic remarks". Come to think about it, I do not really like Mr. Chew. He is a bit too open -- tell people off in front of the public. Biggest victim -- Poor Wilson!
We, the Orientation Committee were all chased out from the hall/function room -- Mr. Chew wanted to have a private word with the student leaders. Gosh! We were abandoned outside the hall for like...30-40 mins! I showed John, the MC for Orientation my work--Lone fighter. Wow! I need to say that he's really a good actor! He acted out my "script" so..dramatically! Jordan joined in this..insanity! It was outrageous! lol! Jordan said I should have put in some "back to the future" elements. haha! He has a good sense of humour -- that I should draw out my mighty sword, together with characters of the story, publish them as comics, make sure Steven Spielberg directs the movie >.< Jordan asked me to send him such stories next time. Will there be next time? haha.
That night, we went to the coffee shop opposite my secondary school for dinner. Four tables side by side, I could say we were the center of attention. We talked, we laughed, we enjoyed ourselves-- Remy, Kok Loong, Joo Sim, her boyfriend, John, Leo, Vincent, Wilson, Wei Hong Jordan, Yean Ling, See Fouw, Chee Kheng, Wen Khang....Wei Hong, Yean Ling and I adjourned to Pulau Tikus market for some desert after dropping poor Wilson home (he was really worn out, but had to prepare stuff for training next day). Took "Bu Bu Cha Cha" , yean ling took ice kacang. Chatted about the committee, rated the training of the day...well, our conclusion was --a bad start. Mr Chew would just jump in and stop the facilitators from conducting the activity ( maybe because we were too lousy).
Added on nighmare --> to find a cockroach on the wall when I was bathing late at night. You could let your imagination run wild -- picture my horrified looks, how I sweated profusely, how I took the broom and stared at the cockroach for 15 mins without moving. It was the worst encounter -- I had no one to turn to, I was all on my own. Haih! So bad! Aunty Amy and Uncle Nick had gone to bed, no one was downstairs. My mom, whom I have smsed to and told her my situation, asked me to just hit the damn cockroach, since it's harmless. She gave me a cold reply though, perhaps she was in a haste to sleep.
Hey! This is a type of PHOBIA !!! Can no one understand ?!! Haih! Sigh to the end! you know what I did in the end? I rolled my eyes, gave a deep sigh, walked out of the bathroom, ledged the door and kept the broom. Pathetic! I am such a coward! I did not kill the "harmful creature" like mom said. Oh LoRd! GOD knows I was so freaked out! I used the floor mat to cover the tiny door gap below. Prayed really hard, wished that the stupid roach would disappear!
Woke up 10 mins earlier than planned, "inspected" the bathroom -- Guess what! GOD answered my prayers. Cockroach! Gone with the wind! into the toilet bowl I think! hohoho! I felt like greeting everyone "Merry Christmas!"..so happy! thank you once again, LoRd!!!! I am so thankful! I believe in the miracles God can perform. Thank you, Jesus.
Second day, a better day I could say. Wilson was firmer this time. He made his stand, voiced his determination, silence means silence. He somehow made an agreement with the student leaders--which was a good thing ^^ We are better in controling the crowd now, unlike the first day--chaotic.
Had telematch earlier on. The word for the day was -- SOAKED. I was wet from head to toe. Water balloons, buckets of water -- how could you not get wet? It was impossible.haha! It was fun, to be splashed with pipe water....and soup water! Ewwe!! It did not taste good >.< At the end of the day, no one was....dry (for those involved in Telematch), except those who were good at avoiding. hohoh! You'll be dead next time!! Hahahah! I swear I'll get my hands on you and finish you off!
Dinner at hawker centre near Island Plaza -- together with Jordan & Co, KokLoong & gang. Took Ee Foo Mee again of course! Mom and dad came to pick me up at Island Plaza at about 9. 10pm -- The others gone for snooker, some went home. I believe dad enjoyed his trip to China..and mom will enjoy hers too. As for me, well, I trust that I will have fun during Orientation Week!!

Lone Fighter
I'm a survivor.
I'm a warrior.
I'm a fighter.
Standing near the cliff’s edge, I can feel the raging sea below, roaring waves come crashing against the shore, as if his hand outstretched, beckoning me to come forward, tempts me to walk a step forward into his arms.
The earth is blanketed with total darkness. An overpowering stench of rotting flesh hangs in the air. I shoot a distant stare at those lifeless bodies scattered across the land. Flies come in swarm, covering the corpses; vultures devour the cadavers, enjoying their biggest feast of the century. My comrades, lay motionless on the battle ground, I can tell by looking at their dead white faces, horror-struck eyes, that death takes them by surprise. A sarcastic smile runs across my lips. I wonder, will I join them for the feast in hell tonight? Or can I resist the continuous invitation from my allies?
Callous, you might call me, for this is the truth, I’m unaffected by the smell of rotten flesh or the view of brutally distorted figures.
A gush of icy cold sea breeze wakes me up from this trance. I know I am alone. There’s no where to hide. I cannot escape.
The enemies are closing in. A few paces backwards will be the edge of the cliff. Should I take faltering steps backwards – the ocean will send me all the way to hell. Everything I have ever owned will be lost forever – dignity, pride and honour – history shall not remember me.
I wish I have the ability to freeze time. I will sacrifice my every breath to stop the unforgiving seconds from trickling down the tiny opening of the hour glass. I know, it will be— eternity — if time pauses in mid air. Can I then use the time to redeem what’s lost?
Ironically, I can hear the ticking of the clock so vividly. Every tick is amplified by the mind, loud enough to remind me the every second I have wasted.
It is time. The moment I lift my double-edged sword, I have decided my own fate. Casting a bloodthirsty smile at my blade, my coward foes stagger a little at the sight of this magnificent sword which had ended the life of many.
My sword is hungry, so are theirs. With a silent roar, I surge forward, making a bloody path out from my enemies. Waving my sword in vain; one hard slash, the enemy’s weapon breaks off – together with his head. Warm blood splatters on my face, my dry lips. The taste of enemy’s blood is indeed satisfying.
When the enemy’s fighter lurches forward into my fighting zone, his eyes are filled with hunger, I can imagine how my enemy will rip my flesh into shreds, gobble them down like a glutton, and wipe his mouth with satisfaction after the last bite. I know how much they hate me, for the innumerous lives I have taken from them.
The enemies continuously pounce on me, swinging their weapons in all directions, taking no aim at all. Brandishing my sword from side to side, I take a short moment to wonder, how can the enemy look down upon us and send such incompetent fighters against us? It is a great insult to our warriors, who will choose to fight only the mighty ones, while the weak attack us from behind. As I have said, this is a shameful battle, by sending the weak and unprepared to the war, the enemy has humiliated us deeply.
I think it will be an effortless attempt to wipe this crowd out. When I raise my sword , I swear that I saw fear running down their spine. Even the bravest person on earth will quiver at the sight of death. Far above, a silver stream of light from heaven shines down upon us. The angel of death throws us a bitter look, his face covered with tears; for every drop of tear he sheds is accusing us of how foolish we are; the ancient hymn he hummed beneath his breath floats in the air, it is so melancholy that seems all of us would drop our weapons, kneel down and ask for forgiveness. At that very moment, I can see the weak murmuring their final prayers. They know that their time has arrived. The sharp edge of my blade pierces deep down into their hearts, followed by a powerful and merciless withdrawal of the blade from their bodies. No time to utter their last words, my enemies drop dead.
I know, people tell me I’m a survivor. They know me as a fearless fighter.
The enemies swoop down on me like eagles. One against many. I know I am strong. I know I am a mighty warrior. But even the strongest person will falter; will start to doubt his abilities when he is worn out. One after another, they keep on appearing. A life lost does not mean anything to the enemy. They’re like the walking dead -- Zombies, blood oozing out from their heads, marching towards you from every corner.
This war has been for days. Nothing to nourish my soul. The tiniest motivation left in me has completely diminished after my last comrade draws his final breath.
My hands are starting to feel numb, the sword seems to weigh heavier after each wave ; my eye lids are heavy, putting my judgement and accuracy to test; my legs are getting tired, I act as if I’m a drunken stagger.
Satan is tolling the death bell himself…slow and steady… ding dang dong .
His mocking laughter echoes in the air; a chill ran across my skin when he casts me a ghostly look. I know he is silently scorning at my foolish behaviour.
He knows, for the lives I have taken, it’s impossible for me to buy my way back to heaven. I’m an outcast. God has long cancelled out my name from the list.
On the other hand, the gates in hell welcome me with big arms; the flames in hell are burning fiercely, eagerly waiting for my arrival; The devils beat the drums repeatedly in unison, thump…thump…thump…waiting to announce my homecoming. I scoff at this illusion. Then again, why should I deprive them of their happiness? I find perfectly no reason to reject their invitation!
My enemies are closing in once more. Forced to take a few faltering steps backwards, there I am once again, standing near the cliff’s edge. I can feel the raging sea below, roaring waves come crashing against the shore, as if his hands outstretched, beckoning me to come forward, tempt me to walk a step forward into his arms; and this time, I am completely beguiled by this sinless lure. I rather feed the dead than to let those alive feed on me. I close my eyes and murmur softly. How will this end?
Hey, you know me, I am a survivor.
My comrades will respect me as a warrior.
And I believe, even if I do not fight to the end, history will now and always remember me as a lone fighter.
----- END -----

Queensbay Mall with Liz
Oh wee! Went to Queensbay mall with Liz yesterday ~Aww...how much I miss her...She returned from UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman) a few days back, unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to meet up till yesterday ~ Hehe!!
Hungry! A visit to Sushi King, the house full of sushi !!!!!! Initially, we wanted to order set meals, but on second thought, we decided to eat from the revolving belt..hehe! Yummy...both of us love sashimi (which is just slices of raw salmon) or rather "sake" (which is a thin piece of salmon on top of the shari or sushi meshi -- sushi rice), we ordered two plates of sake -- pathetically only two pieces on each plate >.<
The first picture on top left is Sakana Fry -- deep fried fish fillet. **I used to eat that in Dim Sum house, and it only cost me RM3 for one big piece.** Paying the same price at Sushi King, I will only get one/few tiny piece(s).
The 2nd picture, top right -- Golden Balls -- deep fried egg & crabstick mayonnaise. We took this yesterday. It was delicious actually. hehe! But, it's so Dim Sum style too :P
The last picture -- Chigiri Age -- deep fried fish cake !! Liz and me, we both called it "Sushi King cucuk sayur"! Duh! I could get the same thing from the market place for less than RM1!!! and here in Sushi King, it's RM4 per plate ( 5 miserable pieces!!) ~ I guess I'm the only silly person who took this plate >0<
Known as-- Sake Mayo -- Salmon mayonnaise. Not too bad. On the beige plate - RM3. I didn't take them in Sushi King yesterday. Tasted my first Sake Mayo in Tesco -- Sushi section at RM1 per piece. lol ~
Tuna-Mayo or Tuna Mayonnaise -- simple and delicious. RM3 per plate too ~ First took it in Tesco at RM1 per piece ...Hehe! Nothing special -- but I will recommend it to those people who dare not eat anything raw ><
This is the BEST of course !!!! Sake or rather known as fresh salmon. **drooling** Dip in Japanese light soy sauce with some wasabe...Hmm...life's never better :P RM4 per plate ~
Introducing -- Ebikko -- Fish roe. Shari wrapped with sushi seaweed, topped with fish roe! Eat it if you dare! Simply appetizing! RM4 per plate ~
Took this yesterday -- California Maki -- Crabstick, egg, cucumber, fish roe -- nice to eat, but nothing special about it. RM4 per plate.
On the purple plate -- RM6 -- Unagi or grilled eel. Liz recommended ~ I like the taste. No fishy smell or anything ~ It's cooked, so don't worry :P
Ting!! It was time to pay the bill !! Hmm....1 blue plate (RM2 each), 6 pink plates (@RM4) and 1 purple plate (@RM6) -- which would be the grilled eel -- plus government tax..all in all, RM36.80 ~ hoho! Not for kids to pay! :P
Still have room for more! Along the way, we went to Kenny Rogers and bought some muffins! Liz paid the bill -- we got 2 bananas and 1 chocolate flavoured muffs -- thanks Lizzy! Muaks!
Grabbed our 2.30p.m movie tickets. RM5 each, I paid for Liz's ticket ~ Adjourned to Borders book store ^^ On the way down, we were "struggling" whether to get a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Starbucks (which is located inside Borders) or not. You know, I'm a "Java Chip" addict >.< Our final decision was -- let GOD decide!! If we manage to get a nice seat by the window, overlooking the seaside, we'll ....you know, proceed with our "plan".
OH! God was with us that day !! We found a perfect spot !! Means, coffee was within reach !!!! The coffee's aroma led us all the way to the counter -- Liz ordered a cup of raspberry frappuchino (ice blended tea) and as for me, you should know it !!!
Ta-daaaaaaa !!!!!!!
Look at that ! What a beautiful sight !! Isn't that awesome!! superb? wonderful? satisfying? appealing? luring??OHHhh !! Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee -- Coffee, chocolate and chocolate chips blended with ice, topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle -- ignore the whipped cream, it'll make me look worse x___x --> the coffee was and will be a...fatal attraction!
We spent about 1.5 hours in Starbucks -- enjoying life ~ Like what I've said, life's never better when you're drinking Java Chip Frappo Blended Coff >< !! Woohoo !
Left pic : Younger sis and elder sis ~~ Tall and Venti ~~
Right pic : Liz posing with our drinks
Left pic : Hehehe !! **cheeky smile**
Right pic : Life's never better ~ satisfying~
Like what I've said , our faces tell -- Life's never better when you're drinking Starbucks' coffee/tea
Hop along!! Spiderman is visiting our theatre! ~ Below were the pics taken along the way ~
First and last stop -- Washroom !!! We were crazy enough to snap a few pics outside the wash area >o<
Left pic : I looked hooo-reee--bblleee !!! Ba--aaeeddd lighting !! I'm yeeelll--ooww!
Right pic : Liz looked normal ~
Hehehe! Good lighting! I'm not yellow now~!
Movie started. These were all that I could remember. lol ~
"A man has to put his wife before himself. " -- I love this ridiculous and impossible statement! Wife before himself? I don't believe it ~ That's absurd! We're not the queen! Why should they put us before themselves?but.. I like the feeling though!
Besides that, Aunt May told Peter in the film :
"We’ve all done terrible things to each other, but we have to forgive each other. Or everything we ever were will mean nothing.”
I pondered quite sometime over this short but meaningful statement. I know, to err is human, to forgive is divine. How many of us could forgive and forget? In life, we would say :" Oh! he/she deserves the punishment." Think about it, what rights do we have to say, "he/she DESERVES it." ? What rights do we have to say he deserves what punishment? What rights do we have to end someone's life, saying that," he/she DESERVES to die."??
But at the same time, who is there to stop "evil" from multiplying? **sigh** I'm contemplating the meaning of existence...
A person wrote this in his/her blog --
"All of us had made choices in our lives. For all those that went wrong, there is no longer anything we can do about them, but we can always learn from them so we can make right choices in time to come."
Perfect statement to me ~ I totally agree ~
The 1 hour and 22 minute movie ended at about 5pm~ Sound effect was not too bad ~ To us, the story line was definately better than Spiderman 1 and 2 ~ but a bit ..daffy? weird? ridiculous? how could a meteor hit earth and not being noticed? I mean, it's possible, but, you're just a few feet away from the meteorite??!! I could not accept that part ><
Another round of insanity in the washroom after the movie !!!!!!!!
Left pic : Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all??
Right pic : Pounce on liz! Rawrrr !!!
Shopping time !!! We went to FOS -- freak out store :P -- factory outlet store. Walked around, but nothing met my eye except a girl's hand bag --but it was too costly! Booowhooo..
With Liz inside Freak Out Store... :P
Nicii! We here come !!! Nicii -- a clothes store, selling a variety of clothes, ranging from casual wear to office wear to formal wear. We scouted around for nice clothes -- tried them on for the sake of trying! Have a look!
I loveeeee this one!! workshop kind-of clothing/uniform, lol, I don't know how to explain. I looked kinda cute in it >.< !!
Hmm...just so so. Didn't really like this set >.< The apple green sleeveless shirt together with a white jacket ~ The jacket was a bit too big for me ~
That was it !! Reached home at 6.15pm. I do not wish to talk about what happened when I reached home.

I seriously need a break ~
Responsibility.....is a burden when there are too many..Responsibilities. SWC...Orientation..4th semester...student leader training..proposal...
I feel short of breath. This time, I can clearly feel the pressure formed inside my heart, my soul. It feels like my heart is caged together with some monster or beast -->uneasy, fear, want to escape.
Well, I seriously need a break ~ without this break, I really don't know how long can I continue...I would sure fail all my subjects in semester 4. That's not a joke. I can foresee the consequences. I'm really tired. Mentally tired.
Just let me go.....

Late Diary Update --> Result from Procrastination
1. Create subtitles for my David Tao movie ( Shoot me for my slow progress!)
2. 엄마 아빠의 선물 **this is private & confidential, unless, you know how to read korean**
3. Activities to improve myself
Hmmm...would I be able to finish all the above by 14th May? I need to return to college two weeks before semester starts --> one week for orientation preparation/student leader training, the other is the Orientation week. SF said he is worried for this year's Orientation. This time last year, they were 80% prepared.But now? I doubt we are 60% ready. Ah Loong needs brushing up..
On Friday, Xiao Jie (XJ) invited Seok Ling(SL), Ying Ying (YY), Zhi Yi (ZY) and me out to Queensbay mall. A small reunion for us (secondary schoolmates). ZY reached late (lecturer dismissed them late)... Dine at McD, had quite a good chat ~Managed to snap a few pictures together too from XJ's camera^^
From left : Zhi Yi, me, Seok Ling and Ying Ying
From left : Xiao Jie, me, Zhi Yi, Seok Ling, Ying Ying
Took a pic in front of Estee Lauder's poster
"Cheese" in S&J
Oh my! We have to help ourselves!
YY just finished her matriculation in Penang, applied for education line ; As for SL, she finished her matriculation in Perak too, but not too sure what she'll pursue in the future.I think XJ has finished HSC at INTI, may continue her studies in Singapore or Australia.
Too bad XJ's twin,Xiao Ying was not there with us. Had a bad shock over the scam incident --> Someone called her up and told her that some loan shark used her name to open a bank account.The bank account was used to engaged in some illegal activities, so, XY was sued to court. But finally, the twins figured out that the call was mere hoax, a scam ! Anyway, XJ had the honour to take home 3 packets of fries! haha~
No good movies lately, so we removed the idea of watching a movie ~ instead, we went to Borders! Stayed there for about 40 minutes --> of course I continued reading my Sun Zi Bing Fa. LOL ~ It is a good book, a great one indeed, so, after struggling for some time, I decided to buy one. 15% discount ~ hehe..I did not regret ^^
Sun Zi Bingfa - Selected Insights & Application
by Chow Hou Wee
Unlike the original version of Sun Tzu Art of War (which is in traditional chinese), this book is in english. The author translated the Chinese quotations into English and applied them to modern day businesses.
Another day has passed...didn't do anything productive/constructive. What a failure x____X
Thanks mom, for the plate of fruits ^^
::Plate full of love::
Spanish Grand Prix is round the corner !!! RoaR out LOUD people !!!! WOooHOOooo !!!
7 days to go !!!.....and counting !!!

Contemplating the meaning of Life........
J's song -- 전하지 못할 말 (Palace S OST) echoed in the air.... J has good vocal..her angelic voice has brought peace to my muddled mind. Below is the download link to the song :
http://sharebee.com/afe0a4ae
My good mood was destroyed when omoni and aboji kept disturbing me while I was watching Palace S. What to do? I had to stop watching and calm myself first before I create some other disaster.
I planned to upload this drama in Bww2 forum, but it would consume a lot of time. I'm now ripping the DVD and save the episodes in my external hard disc --> 120GB -- more than enough.
Cleared my room, was really messy. Took some photos of Wokiki (a present from Cheing). Cheing...just the thought of your name, endless pain ,sorrow and hatred rushed through my veins...You struck my heart with a dagger coated with venom.Thank god, my friends showed me care and love, then only the poison was extracted and removed forever. I am happy to say, the wound has stopped bleeding, but the scar will always be there. Yes, you are right, we are and will be as good as strangers.
Wokiki - the bear which brought me happiness and sadness
My friend asked me :" Joanne, is there any hope for you to be with him again?"
Looking at the dagger with blood stains, I didn't ponder for a long time, I replied :" Once bitten , twice shy. I was bitten 4 times,I believe it's more than enough."
Cheing, enough is enough. I guess that's the end of our short fate ~
It's high time to "settle" KK's gift from Bentong camp --> fern (yang chi zhi wu)...hehe! Well, the fern was so big, keeping it would be hard. Sorry KK ! I had no choice but to "dispose" it. hehe ~ But, dont worry, I took photos of your good gift -- I am honoured to be the first person to receive "grass" as present.
A good gift from KK
I have finally found the value of taking photos -- what is life if it is not recorded? Memories play an important role in the road to happiness. I planned to invest in a good camera phone^^

When can my unlucky days be gone...
Life sucks after returning from the student development camp !!
Had to writeFIVE minutes of meetings...Clear my mess (secretary work)...Arrgh! I slept at 3am and woke up at 7am just to finish my SWC work...gosh. Life is bad.
Because of my "hard work", I was "blessed" with flu and cough.
Not just that...I did badly in my taxation test -- 26.5 / 50 --> which I considered REALLY bad.
Ohh...more to come...On Saturday morning, I had red eye! conjunctivitis !! Of all days, why now !!?
Because of that...I could not go to college, so, I missed my Viva! (Note: my group members did it without me ) and I seriously don't know what teacher will do about it.
Furthermore, Jennifer told me that today was the last lecture for basic taxation --> We were behind syllabus (M1 to M7). SHOOT ME! Means, I have missed the last lesson!!! Starting from tomorrow, it will be revision!!!
**...........sob............**
The word for the day --> SUCKS.
Now, let me tell you what made me feel WORSE ....
I didn't watch the delayed telecast yesterday for the race in Bahrain !!!!!!! Waaaaaaaa............
That's my DEEPEST regret for now !!! I still could not get over it...
Why am I so stupid!!! WHY????????????!!!!!!!!! I should NOT have listened to my mom's advice to SLEEP early !!!!!!!! Waaaaaa.........Now I have missed the race......
**heart shatters into a zillion pieces**
** no use patching up**
**the empty feeling will be there till the next race in Spain**
Mom, if you are reading, please, bear in mind, not to call me to sleep early when there is a race. The PAIN I experienced...was/is.................
UNBEARABLE.
Nitey. I need to revise my taxation.

Student Development Camp (Day 2 and Day 3)
Rise and shine!!!
Did some aerobics (somewhat like Taekwondo), nearly hurt my right knee again. Yeaks. But I didn't tell anyone. Breakfast was...ahem..cold fried rice (I think it should be hot though).
No rough activities in the morning, just some talks. Mr. Johnny conducted the talk again : Developing Positive Atttitudes and Managing Time Effectly. Well, haha, I realized I'm not good at organizing my time. Will try to improve in that matter ^^ As for attitude, thank god I've changed a lot. I used to be a pessimistic person last time. Everything that came out from my mouth would be...disasters.
After tea break, Ms. Chin Chin continued the session. Her topic was : Leaders & Stress Buster. Hmm...well, she's not really a good speaker. Honestly speaking, I was half asleep when she talked! **pai seh** Stress management, well, I'm not good too. When I'm stressed up, hehe, trust me, you better run. I'll go hysterical!
Lunch time! Too bad, I cannot remember what I've eaten. This time, I could see team work in our team. We did not wash plates individually, but rather we helped each other (divide the job). Good job, mates! Muaks!
Another session conducted by Mr Johnny after lunch --Speaking without fear. Hmmm...I personally think Penang TARCIANS should be the one listening to this talk, not the KLgnites. As for me, I wish someday I could give "effective" speeches, not those which people will end up sleeping in front of me!
A series of talks ended, continued by water activities -- built a raft and go rafting ! Four groups, divided into two teams. We were with group 7. All of us were given a specific time to finish the whole thing. Wow, I was impressed with a gal named Oga. She is really skillful. Time's up! It was time to put the raft to test! Whoompi ! Although we sorta finished the raft earlier, but...haih..well, it was not that successful. Something was wrong with the floats. We did not tie them together tight enough . Our "mission" was to raft to the other end, touch the water (from a small waterfall) , then come back. 4 trips all in all, I was in the last trip. Hoho..so damn embarrassing ! I kept shouting the wrong command! Damn it! So sorry pals! I think my brain was soaked with water! It was really a nice experience,even though we lost in the end ~
Next would be rock/wall climbing. I didn't participate, too risky for me. Haih...will try it next time ! Most gals did not reach the top, same for guys too. Guess it was not easy. You need to choose the correct rocks or else kaki sakit! Melissa from group 7 fell I think, when she was coming down. Twisted her ankle.Sad story.
I didn't join the group for dinner, helped Ming Yao to treat Melissa. Soo Qi, Kai Jia and Joo Sim too. Wow, I was impressed with Ming Yao. haha~ From that moment onwards, I knew I needed to go back and learn more! I have 0% knowledge when it comes to first aid!
As for the Turbo-charged Team Building, I joined in half way ( took care of Melissa), together with Soo Qi, Joo Sim and Kai Jia. It was fun! Team work is really important and I was happy to have Group 5 as my team mates ! High Fivers give me five! Whoompi !!
Picture taken during supper ^^
Guess what, after supper, we went back to our dorms. It was stupid to sleep, as, this was our last night together. We ran all the way to the boy's dorm. Hehe! **evil grin** Played card games, but I ended up talking to Ming Yao, Joo Sim and KK. haha. Before that, Joo Sim went out with Ming Yao. Darn! It seemed that the facilitators were on their way to check on us !! Blek! I almost hid under the bed. Darn. Then I remembered --> April Fool. arrgh ! We gals went back at 3am.
DAY 3
Ohh....day 3...Well, nothing special about this day. Didn't want to go back though. I didn't join my group for jungle trekking (so sad!). curse my stupid leg again. They had great fun, as for me, I stayed with Melissa. She slept, but I studied taxation. Useless, I read two pages, head on my pillow again ~ A powerful force forced me to sleep. Bwhwhaha ~
Time to pack up ~ I took their signature. Missed them so so so much. One group by one group, we took a jeep/truck down. Oh! Before that, we took pictures ! Have a looK!
