badminton bbq yesterday.
i learnt to swim! omg, this makes me sound so noob. yes, i didnt know hw to swim ): tt's my biggest regret i think. borrow suay's extra swimming costume, which was actually belonged to her mom -.- it was very very loose, dont know if i zao genged. wth =.=lll bt anw, thx ruiqi for teaching me to swim. muahahahaha ._.
the bbq was kinda pathetic. initially, thr were only marshmellows, chips, drinks, chicken wings and sausages for eating ._. then the boys dont know hw to start fire, jiajun had to help them aft tt. thr werent any metal gauge nor ice at first.
we played some games like truth or dare and murderer.
we dared jane to propose to mr khoo.
jane: how how how?
we: kneel down kneel down!
jane kneeled out, with a very blur face
mr khoo stared at jane
jane: say what?
someone: i love you!
another someone: will you marry me?
jane: huh?!
we: say lah
jane: will you marry me?
mr khoo: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
omg!
another one, more interesting. we dared xinying to hold haowen's arm and confess to him :D
xinying walked towards haowen
haowen looked at us, confused
haowen wanted to walk away, bt alicia blocked his way
xinying: how how how?
haowen: ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
xinying: DONT TAKE VIDEO HOR!
xinying walked closer towards haowen
xinying grabbed haowen's arm (like catching some kazhua or what)
xinying: I LOVE YOU!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! lol.
murderer was fun. bt im always the first one to be killed wth x.x and when i finally gt a chance to be murderer i actually winked at the detective on my second attempt to kill. DAMN IT ): what a failure. tsk
the coaches and mr ng gave us a talk. mr khoo gave the sec3s and some of the others yonex shirts :D quite scary, it felt like some prize presentation x.x then when it was my turn mr khoo gave me the shirt and asked "dont know if it's too big". lol. yar quite big, L size x.x bt nvm, the shirt was nice (:
packed up and left aft tt. thx evia for organising, thx xinying for hosting (: oh yar one more thing: i dont like warren's security guards ):

i hate the bloody fact tt im a girl. hate the number of disadvantages.
brain block. cant think alr. bt there're really a lot of disadvantages of a girl, AND I HATE THEM TO THE CORE. especially the doing house work part. it's always me helping out with the house works, and my brother doing his own things. then my mom would give tt stupid reason: u're a girl, have to do chores. WHAT THE HELL?! IT'S ALL SO FRIGGING UNFAIR, ISNT IT?!
k i btr get going before i get late for my tuition. bye!
just because im a girl, i have to help out in house works and stupid chores.
just because im a girl, i get more naggings cos of the chores i have to do.
just because im a girl, eveytime i have to get so puzzled on important events like wedding dinners cos i have no idea what to wear, while it's so simple for guys: shirt, jeans, done.
just because im a girl, i have to suffer from monthly crams.
just because im a girl, i have to waste money on pads.
just because im a girl, when i grow up and got a job, i have to spend more money on skirts, make ups, accessories.
just because im a girl, when i grow up and if im ever gonna get married, i have to stay with my husband's family, instead of my husband staying with my family.
just because im a girl, when i grow up and if im ever gonna have a child, i'll have to be the one pregnant, suffering frm all the pain to give birth to a child.
just because im a girl, when i grow up and if im ever gonna have a child, even after all the pains ive been through, the child would follow the father's surname.
just because im a girl, the old people may disagree with me going to work, and would rather me stay at home to be a housewife (yar, more like a house maid)

INDIA TRIP UPDATE! :D (finally)
DAY 1 (9/11/2008)
evening flight to new delhi. parents and aunt's family came to send me off. haha was rather emotional tt day, cant believe i actually cried aft waving farewell to them, hw embarrassing! ): haha bt actually i didnt cry just cos of tt lah. cried cos of some stupid reason which i dont wanna mention :$
sat between xuemiao and huanyuan on plane. singapore airlines, super comfortable! loved it, cos we get a personal TV to watch movies/listen songs/games and many many other things! watched this movie, "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging". was alright lah, the plot was rather cliche though. like some very common girl falling in love with some hot guy then eventually they gt tgt kinda thing. lol. the plane's food was delicious! haha! <3> mutton+potato with appetizer, desserts, drink and stuff. omg, the best aeroplane food ive ever tasted! :D played battleships with huanyuan, then some scrabble game with xuemiao and him til the plane touched down in new delhi (:

arrived in india, took bus to the hotel. my first impression of india wasnt gd. noisy, bad air, bumpy roads, nt gd facilities in hotel, water nt clean, have to buy our own mineral water for drinking and even brushing teeth...
our hotel room number, 206! :D so coincidential, both of us were frm 206 (:

our hotel. dont LOOK tt bad right. bt it's just look ._.
(gahhhhhhhhh! im so tired of blogging bout this ): it's still so so so so so long to go~ it's like 8dec nw? i started this post on like 21nov =.= AND IT'S ONLY THE FIRST DAY! gosh! can i just like post in point form? ok lah can hor :D)
DAY 2 (10/11/2008)
-breakfast at another hotel. the food wasnt very nice ._.
-first day of immersion in vasant valley sch. the students were very friendly, they took initiatives to ask us qsns and made us felt welcome. they loved soccer (yes, including the girls) and were actually quite westernised in their characters and speaking. very warm, they exchanged hugs with us (: their classmates were very close to one another, even the boys and girls. unlike in sg, when u see a boy and girl tgt, u'll tease them. they wont do tt (:

-explored ard the sch. IT'S VERY VERY BIG! much much bigger than nanhua!
-learnt a lil indian dance. learnt tt thr're a lot of hand postures and stuff to represent diff things. quite interesting, bt maybe cos most of the time i just sat thr and listen to the teacher, so it's quite boring also ._.
-met partner, rishika. she's nice for the first day, bt pangsehed me aft tt ): so sad lah
-joined their lessons. had sunskript (some language tt is nt used nw), biology (only did one wrksht, we learn diff things frm them. dont know a thing bout their bio x.x)
-lunch, had lunch box frm waveline, some restaurant. it's reli a lot a lot of food, they're nt bad, bt the juice tasted weird. maybe just nt used to it O: did nt finish the food, cos no time alr ):
-resumed lessons. economics, social science (politics). didnt reli pay attention, cos i dont know a thing bout it x.x
-went this place called qutab minar. a lot of... i dont know what they're called. sculptures? buildings? omg i reli dont know x.x bt thr was this tower, it's 234feets tall. the highest fully hand-carved tower!



-tried riding on rickshaw. very fun, very exciting! enjoy the breeze (: bt it's also quite scary, cos the roads were reli bumpy, scared tt i'll fly out of the rickshaw x.x lol!
-dinner in this restaurant called spicy by nature. THE FOOD WAS A LOT A LOT! xuemiao, sheryl and vanessa ate so lil, pangseh me. the food was reli too much for us to finish! ): quite a waste, bt no choice ): i realised the ppl love to add a lot of this certain type of vegetable in their food. i dont know what's it called, bt it looked like spring onion ): dont like the veg ):

-back to hotel! it was reli troublesome to bathe thr. the hangers were so dirty tt they're coated with layers of dust and algae! ): so had to drag the hotel chair into the bathroom to bathe x.x (my point forms are so long x.x)
DAY 3 (11/11/2008)
-breakfast in same place s the prev day, ate same food.
-second day of immersion in vasant valley.
-music lesson where they introduced us some indian musical instrument and taught us their national anthem and an old folk song.
-joined the class for lessons. btr than the first day, cos i talked more to the ppl thr. learnt some basic hindi wrds.


-xuemiao was sick, food poisoning ): saw mrs siew when we're on the way to the washroom. she's super caring, offered xuemiao charcoal pills and kept asking hw she felt, then kept telling xuemiao to tell her if she wasnt feeling well.
-lunch. lunch box frm waveline again, bt diff food.
-gathered into some room. shirlyn, jiayin, dingding, joseph made a presentation of nanhua to the class tt hosted us. i felt touched i dont know why. for the first time i missed nanhua tt much, and was actually proud of our sch (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) LOL.
-back to class, some of the students taught me this card game called "flush". dont reli rmb hw to play /:
-shopping in deli hut. some market whr the ppl sell hand made stuff. bought souvenirs thr. xuemiao, shirlyn and i gathered very late, cos we were waiting for tt man to finish making our souvenirs. dragged for one and half hrs, tot mr pandian would blast us like crazy. we were so scared, we ran out of the place s soon s the man finished making our souvenirs. ended up seeing mr pandian smiling at us, asking us why so late and telling us nt to be late again. hw relieved.
-dinner in the same restaurant s the prev day, almost same food. cant finish the food again, bt a bit of improvement - i finished tt big big bowl of fried rice for the whole table. super bloated, bt quite proud of myself for eating so much x.x
-back to hotel. extremely tired.
DAY 4 (12/11/2008)
-breakfast. same place, same food.
-third and last day of immersion in vasant valley. had tie and dye lesson, make our own batiks! :D i love my batik! it's actually quite fun making it. first we fold the batik, next tie parts of it tightly with string, then we put the whole thing into the pot of dye, take the thing out, let it cook awhile, untie the strings and TADA! our batiks! :D
(oh damn, im continuing this post on 16/12/2008 =.=)
-pottery. didnt try out, bt watched ppl did them. the instructor was so gd at it tt it made the whole process seem so easy when it's actually very hard ): bahhhhhhhhhhh!
-lessons with the class
-lunch in some room with the class hosting us. both schs exchanged presents, we each gt their PE tshirt! love the colours and design! it's much btr than our nanhua pe tee! ): thr're yellow, blue, red and green. i gt the yellow one. bright colour, so attractive! HAHA! took a lot a lot of pics with the student until my cam batt died ): DAMN
-shopped in one of the malls. thr's nth much to look at, cos the things sold thr dont differ much frm those in sg. only rmbed playing in this place which looked like an arcade. HAHA! yar tt's all x.x
omg basketball machine! haha so fun :D
haha look hw happy they were!
omg the soccer game was great! though i suck at it x.x HAHA
-back to deli hut again. bought more souvenirs. learnt to BARGAIN! ppl thr sold things at such high price, if u dont know hw to bargain it's ur loss. haha! had so much fun lowering the cost of things! felt sense of satisfaction aft bargaining. LOL! too bad we cant bargain in sg, almost everything have a fixed price x.x
-dinner at waves restaurant. it was sheryl's bday, we celebrated it for her (: her mom's real sweet, she secretly gave mr pandian money and asked him to help celebrate sheryl's bday! thr was bday cake and a song performance by their performers thr (: haha im sure sheryl had a reli memorable bday in india (:
-back to hotel. saw quite a few mini grasshoppers in the room when we first gt in ): then thr was this very creepy spider in the toilet, i looked at it disappear into the wall. omg. thr wasnt any gap, it just disappeared so suddenly. gt so freaked out tt i didnt dare to bathe in my own hotel room. bathed in sheyl and vanessa's room instead x.x lol. stupid spider ):

evening flight to new delhi. parents and aunt's family came to send me off. haha was rather emotional tt day, cant believe i actually cried aft waving farewell to them, hw embarrassing! ): haha bt actually i didnt cry just cos of tt lah. cried cos of some stupid reason which i dont wanna mention :$
sat between xuemiao and huanyuan on plane. singapore airlines, super comfortable! loved it, cos we get a personal TV to watch movies/listen songs/games and many many other things! watched this movie, "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging". was alright lah, the plot was rather cliche though. like some very common girl falling in love with some hot guy then eventually they gt tgt kinda thing. lol. the plane's food was delicious! haha! <3> mutton+potato with appetizer, desserts, drink and stuff. omg, the best aeroplane food ive ever tasted! :D played battleships with huanyuan, then some scrabble game with xuemiao and him til the plane touched down in new delhi (:
arrived in india, took bus to the hotel. my first impression of india wasnt gd. noisy, bad air, bumpy roads, nt gd facilities in hotel, water nt clean, have to buy our own mineral water for drinking and even brushing teeth...
(gahhhhhhhhh! im so tired of blogging bout this ): it's still so so so so so long to go~ it's like 8dec nw? i started this post on like 21nov =.= AND IT'S ONLY THE FIRST DAY! gosh! can i just like post in point form? ok lah can hor :D)

-breakfast at another hotel. the food wasnt very nice ._.
-first day of immersion in vasant valley sch. the students were very friendly, they took initiatives to ask us qsns and made us felt welcome. they loved soccer (yes, including the girls) and were actually quite westernised in their characters and speaking. very warm, they exchanged hugs with us (: their classmates were very close to one another, even the boys and girls. unlike in sg, when u see a boy and girl tgt, u'll tease them. they wont do tt (:
-explored ard the sch. IT'S VERY VERY BIG! much much bigger than nanhua!
-learnt a lil indian dance. learnt tt thr're a lot of hand postures and stuff to represent diff things. quite interesting, bt maybe cos most of the time i just sat thr and listen to the teacher, so it's quite boring also ._.
-met partner, rishika. she's nice for the first day, bt pangsehed me aft tt ): so sad lah
-joined their lessons. had sunskript (some language tt is nt used nw), biology (only did one wrksht, we learn diff things frm them. dont know a thing bout their bio x.x)

-tried riding on rickshaw. very fun, very exciting! enjoy the breeze (: bt it's also quite scary, cos the roads were reli bumpy, scared tt i'll fly out of the rickshaw x.x lol!
-dinner in this restaurant called spicy by nature. THE FOOD WAS A LOT A LOT! xuemiao, sheryl and vanessa ate so lil, pangseh me. the food was reli too much for us to finish! ): quite a waste, bt no choice ): i realised the ppl love to add a lot of this certain type of vegetable in their food. i dont know what's it called, bt it looked like spring onion ): dont like the veg ):
-back to hotel! it was reli troublesome to bathe thr. the hangers were so dirty tt they're coated with layers of dust and algae! ): so had to drag the hotel chair into the bathroom to bathe x.x (my point forms are so long x.x)

-lunch. lunch box frm waveline again, bt diff food.
-gathered into some room. shirlyn, jiayin, dingding, joseph made a presentation of nanhua to the class tt hosted us. i felt touched i dont know why. for the first time i missed nanhua tt much, and was actually proud of our sch (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) LOL.
-back to class, some of the students taught me this card game called "flush". dont reli rmb hw to play /:
-shopping in deli hut. some market whr the ppl sell hand made stuff. bought souvenirs thr. xuemiao, shirlyn and i gathered very late, cos we were waiting for tt man to finish making our souvenirs. dragged for one and half hrs, tot mr pandian would blast us like crazy. we were so scared, we ran out of the place s soon s the man finished making our souvenirs. ended up seeing mr pandian smiling at us, asking us why so late and telling us nt to be late again. hw relieved.
-dinner in the same restaurant s the prev day, almost same food. cant finish the food again, bt a bit of improvement - i finished tt big big bowl of fried rice for the whole table. super bloated, bt quite proud of myself for eating so much x.x

-back to deli hut again. bought more souvenirs. learnt to BARGAIN! ppl thr sold things at such high price, if u dont know hw to bargain it's ur loss. haha! had so much fun lowering the cost of things! felt sense of satisfaction aft bargaining. LOL! too bad we cant bargain in sg, almost everything have a fixed price x.x
