Pony tales

this is my second program.. its from 21/6 - 23/6
there are 12 girls. 4 juniors and the rest are brownies..
well.. was hoping that it will be a good group like the first.. budden! hahaha.. they are good and sweet but.. i am really at my wits end with them!
okie.. 12 girls: still cant really remember their names cos only got to be with them for a few days. okie.. here goes: there's Franscesca, Adrianna, Andrea, Jennifer, Cassidy, Amanda, Brianna, Abigail, McKeanna, Lindsay, Rachel, Rylie..

okie..Wed afternoon:
After sending of saddle up girls.. me and Joy went back to the tents to put up welcome signs for the new girls that are coming.. it was sunny when we send the girls off.. den when we went to our unit.. the sky turns darker.. and minutes later.. he heard the van honking.. (1 long honk, severe weather, run to shelter, 3 short honks, fire) it's 1 long honk. We tot is a drill cos we just had our thunderstorm this morning.. and the sky is not tt bad.. we ran to the road.. and saw the van.. we are due for our checkouts so we went on the van to the program unit down the camp.. we ask wad happen.. and they say that a severe thunderstorms or tornado is coming.. den i say to myself:"really a great day to start!" by the way, the program unit is not one of the shelter that is consider to go to if there's a severe weather.. but checks in need to be done.. so we had to stay there.. actually.. its just raining.. we stayed with the girls for awhile. play games and sing songs.. nuttin bad happen.. we went back to main camp on the van... not bad.. discuss abt schedules with the girls for a while and people come in and say its safe to go out! yeah.. go back to tent and unpack and stuff!
have dinner and we do some planning.. the girls were like having their own clique cos they sign up as buddy. during planning.. one girl cry.. i mao han.. she is the quiet sort and she says she dun wan to do anything and stuff like that.. plus the rest seems to be friendly to chatty girls and seems to leave out some girls.. i dunno wad to say.. but to pull her in to the activity we had.. but she is another one.. say no one wants to make friends with her but on the other hand keep telling me.. she dun wan to do anyhting but go back to the cabin and sleep.. i really wan to die alr.. i am so tired and den the girls had to do this to me! dinner was okie.. and den we had a free period to do any activity.. the kids keep bugging me what we r doing and all i can say is say.. "hold on.. u will know later." u wan to know why? cos i was consoling the crying girl tru'out the planning and did nOt know wad Joy had tell the girls.. and Joy went to take some girls to med.. which leave me really at wits end.. i need to calm the excited girl.. need to think of an activity and also to keep tired girls active.. Luvky, Joy.. tot of a wonderful idea.. she tell the girls we r on secret mission and stuff.. we need to do a cookie book n lemonade book for hoops and 'Do. keep the girls entertain for the whole hour.. telling them there's trap, cameras, spys etc on the ground and trees.. sometimes we talk softly, sometimes we tiptoe.. u know.. like on secret mission.. the kids had so much fun.. i was like thank god.. den we bring the kids back to cabin to let them have an early rest.. have a quiet meeting and let them go to bed. During the quiet meeting.. blondie read a story book to all the girls.. it was abt some kids being naughty at camp and scare the rest of the campers with host stories. Well, one of my girls cry.. mlh.. had to console her.. hknow tt she is scare and stuff but din expect her reaction to be so oh my god.. bring her to bed.. she keep crying.. den i tell her to hush down, tell her to think of all the wonderful activities that she will do the next day, tell her that her mama wants her to have fun but not to cry at night.. FINALLY, she quieten down.. den the girl sleeping opposite her.. began to cry.. homesick.. den the other one started to cry! 3 girls crying in a row!~ goodness.. 1 quieten down.. the other girl cry.. den i ask all three of them to wait for me! den i go fetch another story book to read to them.. they stopped crying.. listen to my story and calm down. tot all was fine.. but den Abi told me she wants me to read her a horse story before she can sleep. while i was reading the stories to her.. Brianna keep calling me.. den i go over pat her to bed.. den Cassidy calls me.. telling me things.. den Abi call.. den Brianna call, den Cassidy call, den Abi call, Cassidy call.. okie.. u get me.. they keep calling me to go over to the bed.. i really llok like mother hen! goodness!! think Abi is ready for bed.. den i went to read Cassidy another story.. Den Abi keep calling me.. as in she just wan to tok to me.. so yar.. the night went on and on! finally.. i think they are asleep i left their cabin!! i tot all was fine.. when i saw Abi and Cassidy running to my tent and says that Cassidy does not feel good and cant sleep and stuff.. i bring them to bed and den i do the 绝招. i will pat them to bed.. i must comfirmed that they are asleep before i left.. Abi was good.. she tries to sleep while i pat Cassidy to bed.. den when Cassidy is finally(i think) sleeping.. i went to look at Brianna.. (okie.. she is not asleep.. she is sad again) den i pat her to bed.. den finally pat Abi to bed! gosh! wad a night! hahaha
when i went back.. heard and saw commotion around blondie's group tent! went to check.. and tey say.. there's spider! goodness.. i am scare of them also lar.. den another girl was so homesick tt she is crying all the way and stuff.. the spider issue is done and i pat the homesick girl to bed and finally its my turn to sleep. its 1130 when i am done i think.. i am so freaking tired!!! i tell u! gosh!!

Thurs morning:
Usual.. got woke up by kids.. the counsellors are all so tired.. 5 am they started shouting and stuff.. kids.. keep on coming to tell u there's a bug.. but in actual case.. its only a small spider.. we tell the kids to quiet down in our beds and tell them bug wun kill u(sorry.. we are all so tired to climb out of bed but to tell them to stay in their tent till 7 am where we will wake them up! haha) den got to bring them to their activity lar.. by the way.. it is raining in the morning.. its so cold when we climb out of bed.. den during activities.. all the girls like abit sian cos they cant swim because of swimming.. and we r all so tired.. and Cassidy keeps telling me she wants to go back and sleep, she is tired, dun wan to join in the fn and stuff.. i did all i can.. i think.. to keep her active.. but i am so sian till i decide not to force her in the activities.. anyway... yar.. got a cookout.. as usual.. cant start the fire.. i is SO fed up with myself! *the wood is wet lar.. bobian!* i think Joy also fed up.. i did all i could.. i went to get all the wood i could find and get matches from other units and in the end.. i decide to find someone to help me set up fire.. hai~~ finally.. i bring 4 girls to a unit so far awhile to get vv dry wood and got the fire started!! the kitchen did not give us enuff food and the girls are like late after our cookout.. and Cassidy did it to me again by telling me that she wants to be alone in the cabin!! budden i manage to keep her with us and stuff and got the things done and den bring the girls to the riding workshop... HENG AH.. this keep them happy.. i just stay with them till they are off for riding.. i am so tired that i can sleep while standing.. and at one time i just sit down at the pinic table and close my eyes.. when i open my eyes.. i saw some girls looking at me and ask me whether i am tired not.. (of course i am tired... for goodness sake) but then i just smile and nod my head.. my energy is used up.. i got a two hour break.. decide to sleep.. and i think i have a good 45 min rest by listening to the wonderful songs while sleeping in the staff house.. i think the package gives me so much strength to pull tru the day..
after my break(oh yar.. i did not shower for the whole day.. cos i was so damn tired tt i dun even care.. i know i its vv disgusting.. but.. i really is.. TIRED. no choice!) went back to unit to find Joy and the girls.. well.. i am living in Tomahwak pass.. den i realise.. i need to fetch the girls even tho i am on break cos we had to follow the ratio of 1 counsellor to 8 girls at most and Joy got 12.. went to Horse corral.. its such a long way lar.. den no one.. went back to kitchen and ask the staff whether they know where the parade is held..(suspect they went down tho we r not scheduled to be down..) and then walk all the way to the lake.. where the parade is.. luckily they are there.. but the rest i got from the 45min.. are like somewaht use up by all the walking and searching.. -_-"" budden once again.. i am recharged.. and we had our dinner and a campfire! and went back to sleep! good! oh yar.. i love camp fire more and more.. dunno why.. and the way they present it.. and the slow songs which makes u always wan to cry.. newae, i am on taps off.. today, the kids are tired.. so i assume everything will be fine! hahahahahahhaah.. put them to bed and brush my teeth and b ready fr bed.. den.. *i know this will happen*
Joy: Genie.. Brianna needs you now..
Moi: wad happened?
Joy: she says she wants you to pat her to bed like wad u did last night!
(i stress but i say i will be out once i am done brushing my teeth)
man.. u should see wad happen when i go back.. she CRY DAMN LOUD LAR!~!!
Taffy(support staff to take over those counsellors who are on taps off) tell me that i got a serious case here! i just smile! den lucia was inside hushing her down and stuff! but tell u her tt cry.. make the other 2 homesick ppl to cry again! my god..
but this time.. i ask her to quiet down and ask the rest to go to bed.. and abi was good.. Brianna listen to wad i said and go back to bed..
they were not asleep but luckily they quieten down.. and the angels are here! (wad angels? hahah) well.. they are just staff go around serenading.. u should hear the songs they sing to make them sleep. its so beautiful!! i was so touched lar.. its so nice.. i want to go on serenading too.. maybe next week.. when my schedules allow.. yeah! i wan to learn the songs! its so nice! its so beautiful.. i will take it down and bring back.. man.. and after patting the girls to sleep.. which they do real fast as they did not get to rest the whole day i went back to my tent. Did a birthday card to Franscesca(her bday is on Friday!!) and went to sleep with my songs..

Friday:
woke up early?? not sure.. i just dun wan wake up! i know it.. hahaha.. budden got the girls to pack their stuff, bring them to swimming and riding.. finally got to do my shower when they are swimming.. i stay oin the shower for like 30 min i think.. hahaha.. feel so dirty so decide to stay longer.. went for lunch.. got a surprise for Francesca.. hahaha.. while dessert is served.. me and Joy switched off the lights and bring out a dessert bowl with her dessert and a candle and got the whole camp to sing Happy Birthday song to her! hahah.. she is so happy!!
*side track abit* the dessert is super duper nice lar.. its CHERRY KRISP.. gg to learn it.. so all of u all can eat it.. i tell u it's DELICIOUS!
okie.. after lunch, bring them to Arts n crafts and den its time for them to go! hahaha.. yeah.. they are quite mao han.. but still miss them when they are leaving.. And i feel so much better now.. to see Cassidy to have so much fun than the first 2 days.. she look more happy and stuff! heng.. makes it a good ending..

*side side track* by the way.. the storms bring the snake out from where they are living.. the first night the girls decide to go in to the tent.. we saw a snake! it rattles.. we all tot is rattle snack.. which is sayonara to u if u got bitten.. (but lucky i am not there.. if not i really faint! haha) budden we ask around and say it may be bull snake or smth, which will rattle too when it is scare.. hahaha.. not poisonous but then if got bitten it will be not good too.. hahaha.. but we dun see it again! so heng lor!

okie.. after the girls are gone.. we counsellors went back to clean up the whole unit and stuff! its so cute. at dinner time.. all the counsellors do not wan to be head of the table.. (did i mention about head?? well, if u are a head.. u are to serve food to everybody in the table.. as in to ask wad food they wan on their plate.. and pass it down when u are down.. as the head.. u are the biggest and so people has to ask permission to leave the table to the salad, cereal, toast bar at different times of the meal!) hahaha.. u should see all the pushing of not wanting to be the head.. luckily.. its buffet style.. so okie lar.. nuttin much.. but we are all so relac and stuff! we counsellors eat alot lar.. especially the CHERRY KRISP! damn.. hahaha..

we all eat till we want to burst! hahaha.. den we rest awhile and have a VERY VERY long meeting till 10 i think.. and den we are allowed to rest!

Saddle Up!

okie.. now i shall post about my campers!
my program name is Saddle Up. that means it has to do with horses! its quite a pity i cant do trails with my girls. Well, this program is 3 nights!~ they came in on sunday afternoon and going back on Wednesday afternoon (which is like soon).

okie.. my partner is Joy! and we are living with Summer Samplers(another program) at Tomahawk pass. (lucky got flush toilet there.. dun think i am a pampered child hor.. u will know later) There are 8 girls in my group. There are Ashley, Natalie, Tegan, Kate, Cassandra, Megdalyne, Brianna and Samantha.. woohoo.. they ah.. hahaha.. they are vv sweet and nice girls lar.. but sometimes hahaha.. i think i really dunno how to handle kids!

Sunday:
they came! and they are real sweet and good.. Joy is really good with kids.. and all i do is make stupid noises so maybe they can laff! hahaha.. we had an enjoyable time tho. plan wad we going to do this week and plan our cookout. We also tell the rules and stuff! and we had dinner.. its a good and fun experience for them cos we had alot of rules to follow.. and some of them got to help out for dinner! its such a funny thing that they are so chatty when they first meet each other.. first time in dinner.. i got so busy that i think my meals are eaten in a fast and dizzy way(why? cos i keep nodding to wad they say... fwahahaha)
night came.. we got campfire and stuff.. and we got to go get the girls to sleep.. i am so lucky that my girls are so good.. they are not afraid of bugs or dark.. and after reading and drawing they go to sleep! hahaha.. everyone is on taps on(duty.. have to make everybody to go to bed and den we can go and sleep!) okie.. Summer Samplers' kids are abit difficult to handle! some girls are homesick, scare of bugs, thinking they are ill and scare of dark. Blondie and Lucia are so busy lar.. help them up! had to tell stories, give them huggies, pat them to bed etc etc etc.. Had to go back to their tent again and again.. i am like a mad woman gg to different tents and telling them the same thing over and over again! hahaha.. but at last they sleep and they go to bed! and when finally we 4 are ready for bed.. a girl came to our tent and say she got stomachache(or mayb homesick..) Blondie told ehr a story and i bring her to her tent to sleep.. wad a day!!!

Monday:
i slept late.. and my girls woke up early.. 5 plus.. i can HEAR them talking!! they are not sleeping.. felt like boxing them.. budden again.. hai~ den ask them to sleep for some more time before they go for their activity.. and yar.. they did their horses, i have my break den they did their swimming and i was a watcher for the lifeguard and i got baked in the sun! hahaha.. den at night we have a cookout! This cookout.. made me so fed up! cos the fire die die wun start and my girls are so hungry! and i cant get the stupid damn fire started! they are such good girls.. they try to help me wadever they can.. but i just got so fed up by myself that i was in such a foul mood.. Joy got to get Newton to help us(Ribbit's hubby) and we finally got the fire started! The program team knew we were in trouble! and they were so sweet to come and help us to play with the girls give them some treats so they will be a good girl and go to sleep! heng ah..
but hor.. at arnd 12 plus.. Blondie's girl came into our tent! she came in without making sound.. when i see her.. i stunned! as in will scare ppl de lor! hahaha.. well she say she got stomachache! hai~~ hahaha.. homesick i think.. acc her to her bed and pat her to bed.. hang arnd for awhile and den check on her again after like 5 mins later and den go back to bed! TIRED!!!! *oh yar.. i saw so many stars! they really look like diamond*

Tuesday:
well.. teach the girls arts and crafts.. do lots of friendship bracelet.. they got their riding again.. and i went with them and i got so tired.. i fell asleep.. i think the horse ppl gg to box me.. hahaha.. well. then we had swimming and arts and crafts again! and riding again! abit sad cant do riding with the girls.. but i think it is ok! den.. i am on taps off.. decide to visit summer after i had my quiet meeting(a small discussion with wad they like to do.. and to sing a small prayer before they sleep) Summer has to take care of 5 kids alone.. and she is so stressed up! when we go to her unit she is reading story book to the girls and they went to sleep after the story ended.. not bad.. think they are tired or smth! hahaha.. well.. got to go back to my unit at 10 plus.. check on my girls and den sleep.. 230 am.. my girls shout for Joy name outside the tent! i woke up but Joy was alr outside.. tot they are uncomfortable or smth... make me worried.. den when Joy is back she say.. the toilet flush is spoil or smth! i mlh!! hahaha.. went back to sleep.. 4 plus.. began to rain heavily.. Joy got up fast again to pull dwn their flaps of the tent so they will not get wet! and den.. we think that it is no big deal and we decide to sleep.. but before we can sleep.. Thunder is heard.. and it rained more heavily.. 4 of us got up. and go to each tents! cos the girls are scare of storms! i freaking scare too lar.. but cannot let them know.. and i freaking cold.. cos i am in the rain.. some are crying.. have to tell them its ok tru my chattering teeth! den Megdalyne says she really need the bathroom.. so i tell the rest of the three girls that i will be back asap! (we r waiting for the van to horn to tell us that it is a BIG storm and we have to go to a safe place!) while i and Meg are in the bathroom i heard the horn! i is lucky la.. if i din go.. i dun think we will heard it.. its too chaotic! den i bring Meg back.. thunder and rain get louder and heavier. Well.. den i tell the girls to get their sleeping beds and wear socks and shoes to the bathroom(this is a shelter for us.. if our unit dun have this.. we have to bring the girls to a shelter where it is safe.. and we have to walk vv quite far for it.. or wait for the van! i is lucky.. so this is the reason why i am so glad i got this unit!) okie.. 19 kids and 4 counsellors squeeze in the concrete bathroom.. the kids feel better. the counsellors had to made them go to bed.. and we sit on the ground waiting for ppl to tell us it is safe to go out.. Fun.. 6plus.. the van came and say it is safe! we go back to our tent.. cant sleep cos its abt time for breakfast! FUN! the 4 of us is like so tired!!!

Wed:
now.. they are at their workshop.. cant ride.. they are abit sad.. but i think they had fun.. Who in the hell will have a slumber party in the bathroom when they are @ camp? hahaha.. this is wad we told the girls so they are not sour or scare! they are actually quite proud about it! haha..

more updates!

10/06/06
i am so freaking cold because of the rain last night! I was walking with Lucia with chattering teeth to the shower room.. ITS FREAKING COLD!!! My skin is getting worst.. dun get it.. i am sleeping alot, eating alot but still.. maybe is the dry weather!! that's why! And everybody is complaining on how cold it is today! And some people at breakfast says that there's a few storms that went past us when we were sleeping.. woohoo.. i am still alive! And wad worst.. it will still be cold for a few more days! Taffy say it was abt 50 ferenheit today.. dunno how to convert to degree celcius.. so u all do the maths lar.. i is freaking cold!

*activity we did*
do alot of training on paperwork.. lanning for activities and planning for the kids welfare and our own duties with partners and stuff.. so many things to do! but it was fun!

*self realisation*
realise i like to be given responsibilities.. but before that i must learn to be more confident! these few days i am more active, not so dead! I am more daring to be crazy in front of people! As in wad u have with u.. u just show it.. 'cos u have nothing to lose.. i think that's wad the Americans taught me.. to be more open.. Also.. i tot of Eileen and my jie meis.. i missed them.. and i feel that the camp will be real fun if we got together! REally.. This is a sudden flashback when i am in NY! I and Eileen was crazy girls when we get togehter! so in NY, when we r playing during orientation.. Andrew has got these weird 眼神on us. Andrew came up to us and ask us whether we knew each other before we met and we say "YES!"... den he give a vv werid expression.. like "Now, i got it" expression.. we prompt him to ask him y.. but he dun wan to say.. his 眼神 is weird lar.. and finally.. he come clean.. he say.. we two are vv comical.. I feel that he dunno how to express himself.. hahah.. and i realise we girls get together we DO have the synergy.. i am no kidding.. when we talk, play, laff or do smth.. we made ppl look at us.. (mayb its my laffter.. but i think hahaha.. dunno) WE really do have the synergy.. But i dunno is good or bad.. 'cos i always remember shan telling me that how her sister hate us when we get together in school.. (her sister think we are Attracting Attention! sianz.. hahah) but we dun care.. we still have our fun everyday! hahaha..

*evening*
we did rope course!! woohoo..
quite fun! and i master up my courage to do the zipline(similar to flying fox). i am not the last to go k.. i am the second one! cos they let the scaredy catz to go first.. sad case! i was damn scare k!! u know the feeling?? i keep telling myself it will be fun and its the only way to 克服 my fear.. hahah.. i am quite proud of myelf! i did it! the first step was usuallythe hardest one(its like when u want to do something big or it can be about doing something to change yr life.. the first step is always the hardest!) There's this principle i tell myself.. but i dun always practise it.. hahaha.. weird.. and that is.. if i try to do something, i will still have 50% of the chance to get things right or want it to be.. but if i dun do it.. i have nothing.. so by probability.. u know which is good ah.. hahaha.. Oh yar.. rope course.. hmm.. i wan to thanks all the people who encourage me to go on the zipline be it at camp or before i go onto the zipline! hahaha.. tt gives me some boost too!
(this entry is written in the dark.. with a torchlight in my hand! hahaha.. gg to sleep and hope that it will not be a cold night!)
(oh yar.. Ribbit[my camp director], she is so freaking nice.. she got us beanie[hat to wear when u care cold.. woollen kind] to keep us warm.. so touched! everybody was so happy!! i am weraing it to my bed to keep my head warm! Its so cold here..)

*11/06/06*
Morning.. i am still so COLD!! hahaha.. there's open house today and i met so many kids.. there's one vv cute kid that i do Arts n crafts with.. she is so cute i tell u!! hahaha.. I am so tired that day! Also dunno y! had a cook out(camp fire dinner.. cook everything at the camp fire! cool!) and the food was not bad!

-tot for the day-
Summer was sick and she was homesick.. 'cos in her country.. family bonding is so strong!! and she missed her mum who will take care of her! I realise in States or mayb in Europe.. quite alot of families are vv bonded together.. (those good ones will be damn bonded.. dun tok abt the bad ones!) so i thought of the families in Singapore.. Many do not have this closeness that i can feel from the frens i know here! Feel abit 羡慕 about the closeness they share.. hahaha.. feel so restless and okie.. shall sign off..

*12/06/06*
was still cold in the morning! But it got warmer this afternoon isnce the sun is out! Today there's a sleepout in the North Star Valley.. Another place in camp! its near the lake! I remember the tents had nuttin.. so if it gets chilly.. i will be freezed up again! hahaha.. We got more trainings! We even got wishlist on wad programs we want to do.. i chose horses n arts n crafts n also rope course! Thursday is gg to be my off day.. i am so excited about it! Lunch is good.. getting fatter! and hor.. skin is getting worse! hai~ hope it will get better! i think i look like monster.. my jie mei will know lar.. when i start to peel.. eeks! was getting worried.. feel that i do not have anything to offer to the campers! hahaha.. i cant remember the songs! roar! And my english is not fluent!

-talk with tat-
finally got to see tat online and is able to tok to him awhile! was happy to see him! he say he send a letter and now i am anticipating for it! woohoo! decide to keep my days short cos now is all trainings! hahaha.. no fun.. but i will keep posting! no worries! :)

We rest and bath and we girls decide to shop for Eileen's shoe at Times Square! we left at around 10pm. Went to have our dinner at a nearby mexican restaurant and took a subway down to Times Square. Tell u.. the subway.. is super confusing!!! SUPER DUPER!
We reach Times square at around 1130pm?? and the streets are still buzzing with people!
We rush to Foot Lockers to get Eileen's shoe.. the price is reasonable.. and those on sales are Cheap! Eileen bought a New Balance shoe for USD 59.90 w/o tax.. at first i tot is cheap.. den i realise its New Balance.. so okie lor..

After that.. we walk down the streets and shop awhile and i got myself 2 tops. Its like zara and i got this 2 for like less than 20 for each top! (the shop is H and M).
We walk down Times to Central Park and den walk to Museum lane or street cos we want to visit the Guggehiem museum (dunno spell correct or not).

Tot of getting one too, that way i no need to pay for toll charges.. hahaha.. was still considering..

a little time off.. its a luxuiry

*my bed*
drag all my stuff up finally to the room. Gosh.. reach our room, and we cannot find the switch for the ligths. I and Eileen have to experiment all sorts of way quietly to get the lights up but to no avail. There were people actually in bed.. den we have to unpack in the dark n do it QUIETLY.. We gave up and took out our torch light.. Inside the room, there is 8 bedds and the first thing i do is to search for my bed.. (it was scary at first but i am too tired to think much!) Found Eileen's bed and mine. But for my bed.. the person has not move out so i cant unpack.. i was -_-"
I put my stuff with Eileen n gone for the shower.. btw.. u need to queue for it.. there's only 2 for 16 people.. -_-"" Was thinking of gg shopping after our shower cos my dear blur eileen could not find her track shoes last minute and brought a spoilt one to USA. And she only got one.. and she is leaving before me! hai.. Finally, i am done with me stuff. And the person at the desk told me that I can bring the person's stuff away! so i did.. cos i was tired. (btr.. we not gg out.. cos it was too late. n the girls are tired.) We will buy a shoe for her after the orientation den.. And off we go to bed!

*Conversation with KAte*
while waiting for my shower. HAd a talk with Kate. She and Andrew(her darling, hahah..) had been here for like a week. And today it is the first day for her to live with us in ICEP hostel. She had went to alot of places. She can be my guide! seriously! and she got 2 big soft toy with her.. Think they went to the amusement park and won it! haha.. so she got 2 babies to hug in the night since Andrew is flying off so much earlier than her.. They gonna miss each other! Oh yeah.. also, i asked her about the accomodation before ICEP. and she say that she and Andrew had been sleeping 2 streets away form ICEP. US$27 a night. 2 beds in a room n built in toilet! it was so much better n cheaper than ICEP. I am still thinking whether to move to there after i came back to NY? hahaha.. shall see first! but i dun have the phone number of that hostel. I think i will stay with ICEP first and den explore myself!

*1st night in ICEP*
Went to sleep. and i saw someone coming in.. my intuition tell me the person is back. I vv shy.. cos i move her things to the floor.. got alot lar.. It was not the girl but her fren. She is vv nice.. she help me ask her fren and realise that the fren made a mistake.. ( i think her fren dun have a bed.. and she bunk in with another person..) hahaha.. anyway.. tt's fine! they were real nice! She is vv pretty too.. (in the morning i found out she is the French girl that is going to the camp with moi! :) )
No blankets.. no pillows! i fed up! and i was sleeping beside the window! btr.. it was a vv cold night!! i am freaking cold tru'out the night!! Wore Jeans, jacket n socks.. but it is not enough! I tried to close the window.. but cant! It'stoo tough and it is only 1/4 opened.. but i am freaking cold alr! I suddenly tot of those ppl who slept on the streets.. I can really feel how do they feel in cold nights like this.. i really can! and i feel sad for them..

-decide not to use too much of the internet! seeya-

@ a cosy place!

*back to continue my experience*

*To New York*
On the plane to NY, i watched the movie The Notebook that Natalie introduced.. it was another bread or love kind of story(not to tt extreme but it some sort of hit u) i admire the love the couple had for each other. 4 of us were so tired. i forced myself to finish the movie and the rest of the girls were like sleeping so soundly. After the movie.. i join them in the beauty sleep marathon. The flight to NY was really a good one for me as it had compensated all the sleepless nights that i had before going to USA. When we reached NY, we took like 30 min to cross the customs. And blur Eileen made a blunder in the customs and she was named a confused traveller by the officer.. hahah.. okie. however, Nat got real problem with the visa and was ask to go to a room to check th problem. Waited for her in the airport for like 1.5 hours?? damn long! really.. and when she came out she say she was not questioned at all. She vv gek. She was brought out by the custom officer that interviewed us. Nat says that the ppl inside the office was vv firece and rude too. (to other ppl! well.. this is US..) Saw Kate at the airport! was so glad! she reached so long ago.. and she got a job in ICEP.. not bad. :)
we walked out of the airport and the first thing that hit us was the cool wind in NY. It was so shiok! however, i can feel that the environment is dry! and i am dead worried about my skin cos i have enzyme.. scarly worsen. and i can feel that my lips are cracking up and stuff. my moisturier n lip balm r in my luggage! hahaha.. Feel so terrible. I think i am being panaroid here. cos when i reach ICEP, the first thing that i do was to go to the toilet to see my face! haha.. It's not as bad as i had imagined! *whew*

*ICEP hostel 88th West Street*
Recah the place quite late due to the held up at the airport. It is nearly 1030pm. It was a long ride. Past by Times square and it was a beaut! so late le but the streets are still so busy! woot.. and i was like " So this is Times Square!" Reach ICEP, after doing admin stuff, we went up to out room. It is 4 storey high la.. my goodness. No lift hor! And we girls have to drag our luggage all the way up! The steps were small and steep lar.. nOt i want to say! haha.. and it is slanted.. worse than my old house! hahaha.. But it is quite an experience. :)

gg to bed! seeya~

On the way to the airport.. i got so many mixed feelings.. btw.. "ah mai" told my dad that there's a dimsum restaurant in the airport which opens 24hours and my dad was so excited that he decide that we should leave for the airport at 350am. Y? he wanted to have dimsum for breakfast before i left! so my family woke up at three and we leave at about 4 to the airport!
er.. well to my dad's dismay.. "ah mai" info is WRONG! hahaha.. fei cui is closed! and we were so lazy to move to terminal one to check tt we just slack around till 4 plus for me to check in.
Zhimin arrived first in the airport. and when i see her.. i stress! She brought only a backack! i brought a backpack and a hand carrier! I still tot i am a light packer.. but i think i am so wrong! hahaha.. Eileen came later den NAT! I am the only one with 2 luggage la.. stress! We queue for damn long sia~

This time.. it took 8 hours to reach NYC! I was still anticipating that mayb i could see the statue of liberty from the plane.. hahaha...

*experience on the plane*
The plane to KL was pathetic.. i feel so uncomfortable!! really.. it was so small and squeezy. Eileen n i experience blocked nose n ear.. we r like.. -_-"" Nat and Zhimin was so tired that they slep tru the whole hour! The change of plane to NYC.

my 101th post.. not the last..

well, was really a busy week
today went to bake cookies!
to thank all those whom i wan to thank for the semester..
thanks for bringing me so much joy and fun!
of course..
and all the encouragements that i needed..

and its time for some separation..
was so touched to know that there is someone who actually missed u before u left..
as in..
they came specially to you..
and tell u that..
"I MISS YOU!"
a vv simple sentence..
but it makes the receiver's day as bright as ever..
normal frens..
best frens...
or maybe frens who had gone tru hardships with u..
they all had established a vv special place in your heart..
and u always wonder..
did u become her/his special someone too??
well..
when u are leaving and they bare their hearts out and tell u that they miss u..
YOU had become that special person..

before i left..
for only 2 mths..
but i still wanna thank so many people.. :)
i realise..
to thank someone..
use yr heart..
and they can feel it..
i can feel it..
i really can!
so.. i am doing back the same thing to u all..
i hope u can feel the same way too..

i am missing..
all the fun..
all the smiles..
