tues afternoon 3++. i woke up late today, like 2h later then my usual time. which is 11+. hehe i'm not sure y but it always happens during the hols. its not gna happen anymore starting next weds i guess... so better make the best outta it.after camp i was really peeling and it was kinda gross cos i nvr had sunburn before so i thot it was really bad... its better now and luckily for me i didn't peel anywhere except the face. ok, not so lucky. but its only one part. the not so gd thing is, christmas party was just 3 days after camp, so everyone showed up in pretty dresses and suits with peeling skin. that includes me. but i gotta say christmas party was quite fun. got to see everyone dress up and stuff like that. went to amanda's hse with val and deborah to "get ready" b4 going. had gone shopping with my mum to get a dress cos i so needed one desperately. hah but being me, i settled for a skirt, which was quite nice and pretty so i guess its still OK. 3 shirts and 2 skirts. dresses will come later.christmas came and went and like all other years, i dun rehli feel the spirit. cos gatherings are next wk. i practically slept thru christmas. after service i came back about 2 to 3, watched abit of tv and then dozed off until 6+. didn't noe why i was so tired. then went out for dinner and that's practically it. not very interesting. i've got carols stuck in my head now. hehe...i'm quite done with sch hw... yes i finally finished my essay. took abt 3 hr cos the stupid com kept hanging and then it didn't really save the essay properly. i got so pissed. so after the waiting and the filling in missing parts that it DIDN'T SAVE and editing, abt 3hs. could have finished it so much earlier. sheesh. but i thought it was quite a gd essay. (= now i have to re-read TKAM cos someone said there was gna be a test on the first wk of sch, not sure how true cos i'm gna be super busy 1st wk of sch. hope not... i hate it when there are tests on the 1st wk of sch, u haven't even got into the sch mode yet... AND i always fail lit tests... for some strange reasons, i cannot memorise all the happenings in the book. think EEH and alchemist. anw, have to mug NOW, last wk of hols, the wk b4 sch reopens... and its just 1 day after christmas!!! sigh. but before i rehli start mugging, i wanna watch death note 2. didn't catch the first one on screen. mebbi this wk. call someone up.shiyun.

thurs. just came bk from camp. tired... after 3h of sleep after playing cards... took a cab with kerri home ( didn't think i would make it if i took mrt ) and it was very ex. the ride was like $18.20. frm pasir ris to home. wow ok but at least now i'm home. =)camp was fun. at least i think better than church camp cos its more relax. the resort we stayed was not bad; food was good--esp sushi!!! so coincidentally when we went there it rained non-stop for 2 days, so we were like always cooped up in the rooms playing/watching/slacking... haha. but thank God for really good weather on the 3rd day. the sun was up! so we all went swimming and we all got sunburnt. its quite gross cos i nvr rehli gotten sun burn before. face and arms and legs all red... eew. everybody got it. apparently the sun was shining 2 days worth of UV rays. nvrtheless, it was fun! as usual i always like last days of camp, cos its a time to really get in touch with God and it really impacts u alot. so i liked the last day of camp, yesterday. talking abt authentic christian community i think yep its rehli impt and i'm trying to get to know everyone. thank god for my roomies: anthea, jocelyn, amanda, pauline, claris. and everybody! in this camp i pray that my walk with god will be much much closer and i want the desire to praise him with all my heart. seriously i think its hard with all the hussle next yr but i'll try my best. be on fire for God everyday. i rehli hope its not temporal.enough of camp cos i dunno wat to wear for christmas party!!! o man it has to be a dress, smth which cannot be found in my wardrobe AT ALL. haha. haven't worn a dress for like years... and if a skirt, besides the concert and sch i also dun rehli wear... so aiyo its down to borrowing frm ppl... and i'm not used to wearing so i think i'll look quite weird. but anw i ned to find a decent dress ASAP! i have 2 days left. >help<camp was like really relaxing, so coming bk home i suddenly felt like: wow i have SO many stuff to do!!! my stupid essay is not done yet, my chem hw is untouched, and i do not know TKAM very well!!! >.<>
merry christmas in adv.

yo just came bk frm chaing mai! it was a great breakaway from boring hols... i shall briefly talk, but some of them are real fun!!!
1st day: our stupid plane was delayed cos of some toilet disfunction so we had to cancel our plans to go to the flower exhibition. sigh. so sad. and so in the end we went to the night bazaar where we shopped. not much tho. but it was rehli crowded cos it was a long hol frm fri to mon for the thais and so there were lots of ppl! our hotel was quite big--connected rooms. haha. yup 1st day nth much.
2nd day: we had a private tour to the elephant camp at chiang dao where we fed elephants, watched them perform and rode on them. it was quite fun, i think the 2nd best day of the whole tour. and then we went for rafting. the really slow one for u to catch the scenery. so it wasn't really exciting, it was just peaceful. later we went to see the tribes--lisu (that was in the middle of the elephant ride) and long neck karen. yup. their village was quite nice, small but nice. at night--shopping again at the wkend market. it was a sunday then. ok shopping was not very fun...
3rd day: we took a really really really long ride to the northern thailand--chiang rai-- which took 3h to see more tribes and the golden triangle. the tribes were fairly similar and we went to the opium museum. the golden triangle was quite nice to see lah, i mean after 3h ride i'd better enjoy it. 3rd day was alot of travelling... total i think we took like 7h travelling. at night we went to this dinner and dance thing at a cultural place. they call it khantoke dinner. and we got to sit down on the floor to eat and after dinner there was performances. quite interesting, there were also like diff tribal dances and rituals. ok. so the night was more interesting.
4th day: my FAVE day of the whole tour!!! after a 2h ride up a mountain to the mae taeng river, we went WHITE WATER RAFTING!!!! we got to sit in this rubber dinghy and had to paddle in the water, going down really fast rapids. b4 that they have this briefing to tell u how to paddle, how to save yrself if u fall into the water. and during the briefing i was quite freaked out cos it sounded really dangerous. my mum was thinking of backing out. haha. but once we got into the waters, it was really fun!!! abit of risk but it was FUNFUNFUN!!! there was a captain to tell us when to paddle and to give instructions. our captain was really gd and he was very nice. and then there was this boat full of captains (the ppl there) and they kept splashing water at us. LOL. but they are a very united team and they would wait for all the boats to go down the very fast rapids b4 going on. on the first dangerous rapids, i couldn't hear instructions and i fell off the boat... LOL. but i wasn't scared cos i was holding on to the rope and my captain pulled me up. hehe... my captain's real nice, he'll play games on the boat with us when the waters are calm and no rapids ahead. we got totally soaked! so it was VERY VERY VERY fun and i'm so going again if i ever come to chiang mai again. hahah. love the sport! love the ppl!
this para too long liao i gotta start a new para. at night we went to eat this northern thai dish called khao soi. smth like curry noodles. quite nice, spicy. the way they serve it was really interesting. they had many bowls of spices for u to "tiao wei". haha. ok so that was day 4.
5th day: in the morning we went for a short walk across our hotel to the market and so on... nth much... and then we went to the airport where my mum shopped (again). but there were only 3 shops in the airport waiting area so nth much to buy... the airport's quite new. so we took a flight back to s'pore and after a meal at the airport foodcourt, we went home.
yup. so that's my trip. i would say its quite fun during the 5 days. esp day 4. and i'm looking forward to camp this mon. haha... after camp it'll be get ready for school... =.= ok that's all. piano concert tmr and i hope i dun screw!!!

ok posting... saturday... now wkdays and wkends are the same. nth to do!!! nvm...
this wk again is totally slack cos nth on my agenda except OM and minor stuff... talking abt OM we finally managed to get the script out! ((: our inspiration came at the very last part... after slacking and looking rehli bored for 2 days we finally got it written out. and i still think its quite short!!! we should add more content... but nvm can edit... anyways we are so on track i'm quite surprised. i mean OM is going well not like IPW. uhh dun ned to talk abt that.
on weds our very pathetic OM grp which only consists of me lingo xy and stone decided that we shud just slack for that day cos we had totally NO inspiration... hahah. so we went to KAP, after much dragging from stone XD and we just crapped. after a walk in cold storage to kill time, stone decided to leave cos she wanna go home and we were forcing her to stay... hahah. but she got her way eventually cos its nvr easy to go against stone!!!
and today had piano rehearsal at piano tcher hse for the wdever concert. ALL students have to play. and for me the person who nvr fails to screw pieces, i just hope i dun screw. oh mann. today rehearsal i kinda screwed my arpeggios in the piece. XP and i rehlised that my piano and the piano that i usually use during lessons and the piano at my piano tcher's hse have VERY different feels... so it feels diff when i play. no off i think my piano suits the piece best. arpeggios come out nicer. but no excuses lah still must prac. cos the piano at yahama sure diff.
i finally finished reading TKAM!!! that book was kinda long. and some parts i rehli couldn't be bothered to read. but anw i think i shall read it again when i feel like lest i fail stupid quizzes like EOEH and Alchemist. and mebbi i shall read romeo and juliet. with all the "thou"s and "thy"s and "thee"s... thou art smth smth... thank god for the interpretations and notes below.
my hw's not done yet. cos i rehli dun bother doing it... i've been planning on my essay for like very very long and i have ideas but dunno what to write. and i've nvr started anw. essays are fun! so i make sure i do a good one! thats only for essays. stuff like chem i dun rehli care. chem is so diff. and worse, BORING.
ok gtg. end post. 7 days to chiang mai. <=
