i'm back from the chariskidz camp! and although i am totally bushed, i am so grateful it wasn't as stressful as last year. purely cause there were less kids.
anyway, everything went pretty well. hero's trail was a success (: and the dark room obstacle course turned out much better than planned. in fact it turned out to be a mini haunted house. credits to sam (: hahaha jaimie got pretty paranoid about that. but it was good fun (:
and then we slept in tents on the field again. haha and at first it was pretty hot but it got so extremely cold in the end which was just plain uncomfortable with added discomfort of the uneven grassy ground. and the kids this year was oh so roudy! like everyone fell asleep at 1-ish, 2am. and i got up at 4am and could hear people awake (maybe it was just minnie) which brings me to the very sad and unfourtante point that joy and i shared a tent with minnie :/ and she together with kimberly and jessica refused to sleep the entire night and when they finally did i found minnie at my feet. tsk woke up at 5-ish, 6 and saw the guys playing catching? i mean that is a rather unearthly hour to be doing that. plus they had already bathed before that. heard they woke up at 5 when they were only supposed to be up at 7. weird bunch they are.
well camp is over and i'll miss running after the kids, screaming at them to get to their seats and to keep quiet, gushing about ming dao with sharlene, getting high on "marker-sniffing" and most of all my NEW FOUND LOVE (which by the way does NOT overthrow ming dao's place) ahemahem JET LIM (: hahaha

i mean look at that face! (fine, it's kinda blur and i can't minimize it) how can anyone not love him (: haha well okay fine not a lot do. anyway despite his loud and extremely mischevious behaviour, his occasional cursing and his infamous reputation among his peers of being the "gay" guy cause he kissed his male friends in an attempt to irritate them. yes despite all that, is this cheeky 7 year old who smiles all the time, loves sitting on your lap and gives plenty of hugs! haha cute eh?
and as the final burst of smoke from the campfire drifted into the air came the end of camp meetings, hard to meet deadlines, endless shouting, mad rushing, countless trips up and down the stairs and plain slacking at the comfy red sofa. but all that plus more left me a life time of great memories (:
alright i am SOOOOO extremely tired and in a desperate need to crash on my bed and sleep till 5pm tomorrow.
alright goodbye

it's been another tiring night!
and to think my efforts were flushed down the drain cause irresponsible teacher's haven't sent in their most recent files for the camp. so my compilation is not recent enough. ah whatever i had time to burn anyway. haha
woke up at 11 today and i had to be in church at 11. i seriously have to stop doing this. you know waking up at exactly the same time i'm supposed to be somewhere else. anyway "helped" out with some last minute preperations for the camp with shar ethel and joel. like look for stuff and dig sand from the back "garden" of the sanctuary. that was just hilarious. haha. oh and we helped make the name tags! haha i got to use the cutter thing which i am very fascinated with. haha
haha oh and everytime we were about to leave, jaimie comes along and gives us something else to do :/ like make the relfection books. which are so pretty! i mean when you put them all together cause it's so colourful? okay that's just irrelevant. and then we went into the office to
kope food. HAHA. then we sat on the red sofa and got high and we were disturbing soo chuan. and then soo chuan came out and we discussed about the christmas party! haha and then we finally left at 6. so that was about 6 or so hours in church. but i had fun! (: haha
alright i feel for cereal! (: and then i have to pack for camp tomorrow! exciting! hahaha but i remember how stressful last year's camp was that i couldn't take it by the afternoon of the second day. like how we couldn't sit down for a five minutes break. the only break you got was at night after all the kids are asleep. tsk
alright i'm off. oh yes i still havent uploaded my photos into imagestation. oh well. that will have to wait. haaha
goodbye

gosh. i am so extremely drained out :/
its 0155 now and i just spent 5 hours straight compiling the chariskidz camp events for jaimie. 5hours! man you can pretty much guess how tired i am. but i'm quite satisfied with what i've done. hah i should be after 5hours.
anyway i woke up at 10 today and rushed to suntec to meet michelle and zakiah. we had to look for tennis shirts for the school team cause prince can't sponsor us our shirts anymore cause some greedy school ordered over a hundred pieces of size small. so coach said that if we wanted adidas he could get it for us 40 percent off. so we searched for an adidas top and skirt noted down its number code and went to watch a movie! haha we watched prime which is just average. and the theatre was only 1/4 full. haha that was quite fun.
mrt-ed home and went over to lulu's. we took LOADS of pictures like with both her camera and my camera so we have twice the amount of photos with pretty much the same thing. haha then we went to the park to take MORE photos. hahaha self obsessed us. haha but it was fun (:
oh then she came over and brought over these set of wheels she bought from china that you attach to the back of your shoe and you can roll around? hahaha and i took out my heeleys haha which suprisingly still fit. so we had fun there (: haha
oh i had the ultimate treat today! i had my vanilla frapp and ben and jerry's cookie dough today! ooohh i taste heaven! but sadly i'm broke.
might be missing training to go to church tomorrow to finalise some children church camp stuff with jaimie and probably at the same time help make the name tags for the camp.
haha camp on wednesday and thursday! haha FUN! but i remember how tired i was last year. that part isn't very fun :/
ohohoh! i watched the last episode of wang zi bian qing wa AGAIN last night! haha ((:
alright i shall end with this

meet gorgeous (: my new found love, MING DAO (:
it isn't clear cause of my blog skin but please see how HOT he is! hahahaha (:

I'M HOME! I'M HOME! I'M HOME! I'M HOME!
singapore never looked this beautiful, and home never felt so comfortable (:
as i said australia taught me a lot. the grass ain't always greener on the other side. and what naive perceptions i had. it had always been my dream to migrate to australia or even the states. things just looked finer, the air seemed sweeter, the stars brighter. and i'm not saying that it isn't beautiful now and i would still love to move there. but if singapore is where my family, my church and my friends are, then that is where i'll be.
the trip was fun, in a weird kinda way. but it did mark one of my lowest points though. i felt so demoralized there. my mother, my sister, everyone, seemed to find joy in criticizing me, getting angry with me and my mother telling me how hopeless i am. i could have handled it better, but there was no one there to talk to. no one who understood. yeah, i felt so lost. and just like that i broke down. but the up side was it drew me closer to God. so much closer (:
alright enough of the melancholy. i just needed to get it all out
today was pretty much a mad rush. woke up at 7 and it was pouring. so it was extremely cold. rushed about and sissy's friend, carol, drove us to hillsongs church outlet. it was simple and nice. their congregation size is about three times as big as my church :/ yeah we went for the first service but missed the praise and worship. so stayed on for the praise and worship of the second service. but their services are really short. like an hour each time and they have a lot of services all through the day. but sadly, the services we went for were for the "older" congregation. so no such luck of re-living FOP. but i heard the youth service was rocking. haha too bad i couldn't go for it. it was really heart warming seeing sissy and momma being refreshed by the power of God. (:
watched christmas with the kranks, little manhattan and a bollywood film no entry on the plane. which coincidentally was recommended by one of the cab drivers of the cab we took just yesterday. little manhattan was nice! like really sweet! haha it was about a ten year old boy and his first love. haha then i spent the remainding one hour browsing through various cd's. black eyed peas, jason marz, gorillaz, 3 doors down, so on and so forth. SQ is great yeah? haha
i think i put on a lot of weight. like A LOT. i'll probably tip the weighing scales :/ DIET! EXERCISE!
alright, i have about a hundred and eighty pictures i took on the trip which i will upload tomorrow (:
i shall go now and crash in my bed which i miss so very much. and catch up on some tv watching or something!
it feels great to be back (:

hello once again. thankfully this would most probably be my last post here in the land of kangaroos. and boy am i glad! (:
anyway last night was erm interesting? actually not really. followed sissy to her uni which was HUGE. but we didn't stay long. instead the motherness and i went to the mall nearby and got some stuff. actually i didn't get anything cause she wouldn't let me. was kinda irritated by that cause my brother got way expensive bilabong board shorts (thank me (: hahaha) and then sissy came along and got a almost as expensive roxy bag and i got nothing. and it wasn't because i didn't want anything. tsk oh well
so left for home in a huff. tsk what's new with me? haha dinner was at some vietnamese restaurant in new town, which was pretty good. and then we got home and sissy ella and i watched a bollywood movie. and it was soooooo extremely funny yet sad. it is so good. sadly i can't really remember the title. but i heard that it was so good that it won every possible award at the bollywood awards thingamajig.
got about 2hours of sleep and got up at 6 bloody am. when do i wake up at that time when i don't have school?! anyway got dressed and everything and the coach came to pick us (sissy momma and i) up to get us to the blue mountains which is really really pretty! and it's so cold! i got pretty pictures (: hahaha oh yes before that we went to some wildlife centre thingy and we got to pat kangaroos and STAND next to koala bears. you couldn't carry them cause they would get STRESSED. hahaha adorable. but it was raining so to literally put it, rained on our parade. haha but the weather picked up on the trip to blue mountains so we got really scorching hot weather in the end. then we had lunch and then we had like 15minutes or less to go to the shop downstairs which was a surf shop! and you can't drag me away from a surf shop! i'll want EVERYTHING. tsk. hahaha so to make up for not getting me anything the previous day, i bought billabong slippers, waterbottle and a roxy cap. haha then with my own money i bought a roxy pencil case which is so cheap! and funky! the back of it is tiger stripped pink and black. wooh! hahaha (: and i didn't have to say anything but the motherness noticed that retail therapy makes me a very happy person (:
took a ferry back which was loads better than the one i took before the other time with sissy and ella. this one was so smooth and the wind was so strong and cold! nice (:
alighted at darling harbour and whilst sissy and momma walked home i rushed to harbourside mall's giordano to get the mini jacket thing which i'm pretty sure singapore doesn't have cause the giordano here is pretty different like the cut and material differs a little. haha
dinner was at khosh. which by it's name you can pretty much guess it's standards. khosh, posh? get it? hahaha alright it was just modern and not five star quality. but it was nice. too bad the camera's battery died so no pictures for that. oh but the iced chocolate and tiramisu is FANTASTIC! and then sissy went off to work and the momma and i walked around a little bit. and it's raining. no it isn't. it pours for five minutes and stops. then there is a mad thunderstorm for another five minutes and stops. this is crazy sydney weather for you. hah
so it's saturday so the shops are open a little later today. and i found this internet cafe which charges a dollar an hour. i feel so extremely ripped off at the convenience store. curses. but i kind understand why it's a dollar. cause the computer is so SLOW. so i dragged the momma in and we each got a coputer to waste our time on. typical. haha
alright hillsongs church tomorrow. holler a minute. it's only the outlet of hillsongs church. the so called original one is an hour or so away. bummer :/ and then at 10 30am i'll be at the airport and HOME SWEET HOME BABY! australia has let me experience so much. okay not really but more about that when i get home to my own computer which works faster than this one.
i'm coming back home! haha i'm singing michael buble's home in my head. HAHA (: random :/
goodbye!

[edit]
yes it's me again. i'm beggining to get bored with the internet but then again what else can i do?
it's 11 35pm here in sydney and the internet cafe down the street closes at 10pm. so that means that i had to find another internet cafe. and that i did. after dinner (more about that later) i got bored (as usual) and i refused to get into bed or read or watch the telly so i got my things together got some directions from sissy, but the directions she gave were to liverpool street and that is WAY far. so she told me to take the harbour bridge to george street. and so i walked and walked and it was blocks away. pretty far but now i know where all the stores are and all that. so it was about a 20minutes walk. and everyone on the streets were all dressed to go clubbing and all that. so i walked and found another 2 starbucks in the process (: then i saw THE LIGHT! not literally. haha. i found an internet cafe! and it's where i am now and it's in the basement of some side stall and it's rather big but kinda sleazy. BUT it's half the price i pay at the internet cafe back at pyrmont. i feel so ripped off :/ and there are all sorts of people here. but mainly gamers who keep cursing really loudly. its quite funny really. haha
okay i'm being long winded, but i can't think of anything else to do but blog.
anyway i didn't go to paddy's cause my momma was being a bum and refused to leave the house. so at 8 sissy momma and i cabbed down to stanely street and had dinner at trovata with sissy's best friends(and so she claims) loui and sam. really nice people. easy to get along with and the best thing? they're gay partners. hahaha cool eh?
alright i'm getting a little sleepy. better leave for home before i get to lazy to walk back and decide to sleep on a street bench :/
goodbye once again (:

yes i do not have a life. hah sue me
2 35pm in aussie land and its so hot today. like 21degrees. anyway i got up pretty early today. like 9-ish 10 australia time? and then me being a bum, i stayed in bed and read for an hour before i got my lazy ass out of bed. went shopping alone at the mall nearby and bought loads of candy. like LOADS of it. and it's so expensive. like i went to the candy store. and they sell all sorts of candy in all sorts of flavours and they have it in these HUGE containers and its so colourful and it just makes your mouth water at the sight of all the candy! anyway i bought chewy toffe bon bon's which are really really good. but its 3.95 for a 100grams and that is really pricy. and i bought assorted toffes which i have decided to munch on already and i got eclairs, caramels, sour SNORT bubblegum which i found hilarious and starburst jelly beans which are soooooooo good. and i'm bringing it all back to hot ol'singapore to share with erm. people. haha so i won't grow fat alone (:
dinner was at oscar's last night. and it's this rather nice restaurant that plays mtv on their flat screen tv located all around their restaurant. i had steak which was well done instead of medium rare so that was a little hard to eat. but it was good none the less.
speaking of food, i'm famished. and brilliant me found a starbucks on pitt street! so if i have the time later on i shall go treat myself to a nice cold vanilla frapp on a hot thursday afternoon. (:
to paddy's night market tonight. i hope. i just found out today that the skirt i bought at paddy's is a whole 10bucks cheaper than in the stores! so look whose going shopping tonight! (:
i feel so fat :/ all i do is eat and sleep and eat somemore. i'll lose it back in singapore. sad excuse eh?
haha alright. hunger overwhelms me. i need to find some FOOD!
goodbye (:
