this is my 2nd last group and tmr.. my last group is coming.. and that means camp is going to be over.. time sure flies.. i still remember the time when i first arrive and was thinking when will camp be over and in an twinkling of an eye.. it's time for me to go..
well.. still got one more week so shall not talk about leaving..
got this group.. and i am the only counselor. this is wad i would like to try.. but i am really scare when i got to know i was the only counselor with only 8 kids. and they are not small kids. they are like teenagers. i was really worried that they dun dig me.. and it is a 5 night program.. if they dun dig me.. it will mean hell.. last sunday i was feeling jittery and scare.. but it all went well.. and we had fun!
well.. they are big girls and they are here for lots of ropes course challenge.. they taught me one thing.. teamwork is really important.. they dun have teamwork.. that's why they are a disaster.. maybe i am a person with high expectation on certain things.. that's why.. i feel that they are not doing a good job.. they are always arguing.. until i is fed up.. the group is fed up.. but hai~ we got tru.. and clover was actually quite impress with them even tho they are always fighting.. i think they just need a helping hand on two to help them to get around.. but really.. u see the way they work.. i think i can vomit blood.. hahaha
it makes me think back on emerge.. the synergy we had.. i dunno.. it's a big project.. and we are able to work so well together.. i am actually quite impressed with wad we had produce.. maybe its because we are all working towards a common goal.. and everybody respect one another and things like that.. so the fruits we got is always sweet. no matter the result.. its the process that count.. but for my group.. they cant pin hopes on their process cos it was painful all i can say.. they shall pin hopes on their fruit.. i am being bad.. i know i should like teach them to work together.. but its not like i din.. "when they are good, they can be very very very good.." and when i tot i taught them wad is teacmwork.. someone.. will come up with stupid things and argue.. and that tiny happiness in me crash.. so therefore i give up on them.. and i began my role as someone to keep on reminding them not to fight.. rather than to teach them why it is not good to fight..
i is bad teacher.. woah.. not easy to have a group yrself.. tho its fun to plan all the things in the way u like and stuff.. i plan a jungle breakfast for them.. hide all their breakfast.. and gives them clues.. suppose to eat it in jungle.. but i decide to be a kind soul to let them eat in dining hall.. den i plan some games for them.. had crtificate given out.. complete 2 badges for juniors and 1 badge for cadettes. quite satisfied.. had 2 cookouts. the dinner one need to start a fire.. and i was so scare about it.. but guess wad.. i make my own fire.. out of like 20 matches.. i is so happy.. u should see the happiness in me.. after so many times of failure! (in the past)
hahaha.. yeah.. that should be all ba.. the kids tell me that they hate hearing me say:"It's ok!" and "Come on!".. please.. they are really slow and they need reassurance.. when i say it's ok.. i really mean that it will be solve.. but they think that no matter wad it's not ok! peng! hahaha..
well.. bringing kids to the med is like a routine to me.. the kids like got a lot of problems. u should see the med they eat..
den whiskers(the nurse) says i am disgustingly healthy.. hahaha.. cos i dun need meds or anything.. i think bubbles too.. its like.. er.. i think its a good thing.. but they feel that we are super healthy.. but i do a little thinking abt it.. actually ... they dunno the other half of me.. i got super big migranes.. and i dun eat pills.. and i dun see doc.. and my health will deterioate after i overwork for so long and i finally got to relax.. my system broke down and den i got real sick.. it seldom happens.. it depends on when i decide to let my body fully relax.. (hmm.. dunno u all understand not..) but it's ok! well.. i was thinking.. since my body works like that.. will it one day crash on me.. and that's the end of me? i think it will happen.. 'cos i tink i am not a healthy person.. yep.. and so it send chills to me.. will i die young? i haben see the world!
*oh yeah.. i wanna announce to peeps who still dunno abt my elbows.. i am double jointed.. its like broken elbow.. hahaha*

crazy week..
okie.. this is about my past week..
it's been crazy but i think it is enriching..
i got a group of 24 girls fdor the beginning of the week.
It's call "Girls just wanna have fun!"
24 girls is nothing at the beginning. 'cos the first time i had 24 girls with 3 counselors.
And we all made it tru.
But this time there is 24 girls with 4 counselors and 2 CITS (counselors in training to help out for 2 days). And i tell u it is shit!
Nah.. it isnt so bad. It's just that when the girls came, the weather is super duper hot. About 110 ferenheit to 120 ferenheit. dunno got get higher not.. but it is really hot.. and we must keep reminding the girls to drink lots of water so as not to get heat stroke or faint or wadever sort. And we counselors had to do the same. Drink. I finally realise after so many years of migraines.. how i got them. i always tot my head got a big tumor(hahaha) and it will get real pain when it just dun feel right in the correct environment. But then i realise is that i cant stand hot weather and i dun drink enough. No wonder my mother keep asking me to drink water when i got headache and ask me to do these and that. hahaha.. so now here's the reason liao.. i am enlightened. But u know wad. i drank 2 and half nalgene bottles of water and it still does'nt help. it's too hot that my headache dun go. But it's not my killer migranie so i was still ok! heng ah! and yar.. so i got this group.. so cute! hahaha... got brownies and juniors.
And we got the best unit to stay and the furthest one too.. so u see.. everyday.. we have to keep the girls to drink lots of water and den we have to remind them to bring wadever they need they need before we leave the unit if not we have to bring the girls back and stuff like that which will waste time. We have to maintain the ratio of girls each counselors had. we cannot like have 12 girls with a counselors. each must have 1o. so if u have a big group. and one counselor went for break. You have a nice ratio and den a girl come up to u and say:"i forgot this.." And wad will u do? u will stress. u have to think of a solution to bring the girl with a buddy back and den also maintain the ratio.. tough job. Especially this week. Girls keep saying i forgot this and telling us they got headache. I got like 5 over complains about headaches and stomachaches. You know sometimes the girl make up stories to say they are sick and so they can go home(homesickness) but with the heat at camp. You really dunno whether to believe or not and bring them to the nurse. Tough decision and not forgetting the ratio thingy. This week i got like 10 hoesickness. serious case cry all day long. it's not just one.. it's alot. some will just cry for no reason 'cos they want the attention. Some cry 'cos they feel sick.. and i also feel like crying 'cos i really have no hands to help me. Everybody is tired. For this program, all counselors(Tigger, me, Nuts and Summer) did not have time off. The only time off is during swimming.. and sometimes during swimming some homesick girls want somebody to be with them and stuff(to make them feel that camp is not so bad after all). So after a quick shower u have to go back to them. Tell them stories and also play with them or just sit by them or swim with them. u know these sort of things.
At night.. this is terrifying.. hahaha.. not so much lar.. but they get real homesick at night and we need to do wadever we can to make them sleep. It's late nights for all counselors. and yar.. fun.. one night.. got kids come in at 4 and tell me they wet their bed. and another night.. there's storm.. sleep in bathroom. etc etc..
but the girls are real cute.. it's just that.. it's too drained for everybody.
I got a triplet. They are not my problem. just fun and noisy.. and it is them i learnt alot of stuff... They are going to Cricket's program at the end of the program and Cricket says they are the biggest problem to her 'cos they cant make them keep quiet.. and to me.. the three of them are ok. Just noisy and fun! hahaha.. so u should know how problematic the girls we have lah.. and we have to send one girl home.. 'cos she cry too hard.
oh and for this program. we have a princess day! haiwaiian night and we complete sprots badge for them.
this week i learnt .... from the kids:
-to love each other
-to defend for each other
-to care for each other
-kids are kids (you cant change them)
-single mother is not an easy job.
-a smile is important
and etc etc..
thank you kids..
well then i got to do another program.. its the same program that i do before" girl power get away" u know the make up stuff. yar.. this was not a tiring group 'cos they are better. but they are so quiet that make me abit er.. dunno wad to do. hahaha.. but on friday when they leave.. i see the fun they had.. i feel relieve. i hope they really had a good time.
yeah.. the week is over and i got to go to the movie theatre and catch a movie..

Simplicity..
this week..
i learn alot of things..
and one thing that i think i learn is that simplicity is the most beautiful word ever..
Went to the cinema with the staff and watch the devil wear pradas.
tell you, the movie make me reaffirm my stand on simplicity..
Wad is the deifinition of simple?
well.. simple is just smth not glamorious and stuff.. but this week, the word simple is so beautiful to me. :)
A simple hug, a simple "I Love You. Genie", a simple smile, a simple hello, a simple letter, a simple song, a simple action, a simple care and etc etc.. make someone's simple day not so simple..
Isn't that a beautiful word.
I learnt this word from the movie too..
the world is too complicated.
i would yearn for the word simple.
or mayb i am just not cut out for the complexity that we have here in the world.
It's great to be of someone high in status but ususally they lack the word simple in their life and in the end they are miserable in some way or another.
also.. dun live up to people's expectation. Live up to your own expectations.

especially when u are in an environment u are familiar with..
even americans who live in camp are homesick sometimes..
kids ask me..
"you won't get homesick as much as we do! You dunno how much we miss our mum" (2 nights program.. cry like shit when they are in camp at night!)
Kiddo...
well, of course WE the super mighty 天不怕地不怕 counsellor are always the strongest person in camp.. we are not homesick, we are not scare of dark, bugs etc etc.. We are just super man..
One kiddo tell moi:
"You can at least call home. but i cant!"
Come on.. u are going to see yr mum like wad? er.. 48 hours? or maybe one or 2 days..
And u are like homesick.. OK! me bad.. i foegot they are still young..
But i decide to be a meanie and tell them straight in the face~
"I cant call home"
you should see their face..
fwah..
but that's the truth..
i cant call home..
i call home will kena box by my mum..

camp songs..
learnt alot of camp songs..
but recently..
i like serenading songs the best and also..
i got to learn this song..
i love it like shit.. (okie.. bad comparison.. but u shld know how much i like it lar..)
k.. its a sign language song.. so inevitably..
i know some sign language too!
here is how the song goes..
Friends are nothing till they *sing* together
they must *sing* the whole day
they must *sing* the night away
they must *sing* together they must sing..
den u repeat the song over and over again. with different things that i **
gt ride, camp, laugh, work..
but i like the last part of this song.
Friends are nothing till they part with teardrops in their eyes
they must go their seperate ways
and they hope to meet again someday..
sweet!
k, some of the serrenading songs.. since i so free now!
hahaha..
Freedom land
I'm on my way
To the freedom land(X3)
Chorus:
I'm on my way; thank god I'm on my way
I'll ask my friend
To come and go with me(X3)
Chorus
If she won't go
Then I'll go alone (X3)
Chorus
we're on our way
And we cant't turn back (X3)
Chorus
Dream
Chorus:
May all of your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun
May you always have stars in your eyes
May you not stop running, not until the race is won
And may you always have blue skies
A dream is something you can make to keep within your heart
To build on when you're glad or when your worlds been torn apart
A dream is something all your own that no one else can steal
A dream is something you can make come real
Chorus
You can share a laugh with any stranger you may meet
You can share your money with a begger on the street
But you can only share a dream when love has set it free
Please won't you share your dream with me?
Chorus

讨厌..
i am sick of myself..
for being er.. change.. for trying to be 坚强 but in actual fact i am not..
for being someone that i wan to be and i am not..
for doing my 假面的微笑 when i seriously dun feel like doing it.
but somehow..
that is me..
but i think it keeps me going..
tired?
very..
but that's me.

Wad i have learn..
Did this post in
Tat says that I have up level.. I wonder whether this is true.. I wanted to come and learn new things and had a change in my life.. but then I realize.. life in here is almost the same.. we do almost the same thing over and over again. I think the thing I look forward to is the meals. Mayb u may say that I 贪吃 which is partly of the reason but another reason would be that when u r going for meals.. it means that yr day is coming to an end and days are passing.. hai~ sometimes I really wonder wad I have learnt from this.. as in learnt something that really impact me.. is not like this whole trip is so useless to me.. the experience of coming here really counts a lot.
Well.. I hope that I had actually learnt something without me knowing.. and I am using it day by day in my everyday’s life in camp. But I do admire the people I met in camp.. some of them are younger than me while some of them are about the same age as me but the dedication they had for the girls is something that really amazed moi. One that really made me vv 敬佩 would be this guy call slim. He is one of the 5 guys in the camp ba.. hahaha.. he is about my age(maybe abit older). He is the maintenance boi that the camp hire. He dun live in camp but he drives up to camp every morning and wad he do is to repair the stuff in camp. Wadever things that need to be repair, refilled or removed, just tell him.. Basically he do the dirty job. He works only for the summer.. heard that he got a good degree or something or is pursuing something in the uni.. Well, come to think of it.. a lot of the Americans who works in the camp had just a goal and that is to make the camp to be fun and safe for the girls that is coming for the camp.. just a simple wish and they slog their whole summer. The pay is meager but they are contented..
Look back in
My biggest regret is that I never pick up driving.. and I regret even more when I was in camp.. everybody was driving.. its like.. a skill which is impt and I never pick up.. so now.. I have to think of a time where I can go and learn my driving.. and I also did not pick up some skills that my dad wans me to pick up.. speaking of that I haben collect my accounting cert.. think lost in
Okie.. so wad have I learnt? Well, I think I am able to look at a situation in so many different aspects and implement the best ways. I learnt this from the counselors in here and sometimes also from the kids. A very boring thing can become actually a very fun thing if u use a different aspect to look at it and implement it.. dun forget creativity do plays a part.. budden again.. well.. this is something I learnt to keep myself going.. I am still learning.. hahaha.. hope I can master it! Wad else.. erm.. I am not so scare of bugs liao.. they are beginning to irritate me more that I am so afraid of them.. but I am still scare of it! Hahaha..
Woo.. I realize.. I begin to like solitary more and more.. I dunno why.. hahaha.. last time, I like a bus ride that is 30min and of course with my FM on.. listening to the radio and looking out of the window.. now.. I think 30 min is so damn short now.. today a 5 hour ride from
Oh yeah.. something I learn. If an American or someone from the
Moi: “you wan to walk or take bus.”
Someone: “I dun care.”
Mayb u all will know wad they means.. but to me.. I tot I had offended someone one way or another but in actual fact.. their “I dun care” actually means.. they are fine with anything.. they dun care wad choices we have for them. Hahaha.. cool har..
And hor.. stupid moi.. tot
Oh yea.. I going to buy tons and tons of food back to
Lastly.. I realize that.. I am so freaking scare of the dark when I am alone.. hahaha. And I am not good in direction if I am in the dark.. tho I walk the same path for like 10 thousand time.. In

raccoon..
never really see it before..
but yesterday saw it with my own eyes..
people dun like it cos they are a bad animal..
but i am amazed by it..
i admired it somehow..
stories i hear about them.
They will go whereever there is food.. so..
one fine day at a particular camp.
a camper left her lunch in her backpack. and it is in the tent..
and they left for their activities..
when they are back.. their tent is unzipped, everything is in a mess and the backpack is unzipped and so is the camper's lunch..
how clever can an animal be... i am amazed..
next, the dustbin that we throw food in the unit house is locked everynight..
but somehow.. blondie says she forgot to close the door properly..
next morning.. the locked dustbin is unlocked.. the bin is knocked down..
the floor is messy..
think this is one of the crime that the raccoon had done..
wow.. amazing...
tok to slim on the truck..
and he say if he found a baby raccoon.. he will keep it as pet..
i was thinking..
"i would too!"
better let me found one raccoon.. and i will ship it back to Singapore!
yeah.. let it be the first raccoon in Singapore..
fwah..
this tot is so EXCITING!

truth or dare..
This is dedicated to all my friends, especially to my jie meis:
Do u have the tradition to write your resolutions at the beginning of a new year..
here's smth nice for ya which i read from a book --
How many times have you prayed for a life "less ordinary" than the one you're living?
If you are being honest, you'll say "Often."
Can i challenge you to a dare?
Today, stop praying for anything other than the life you have!
Join me as we tear up that list of resolutions.
You don't need them anymore.
All you have is all you need.
But more than that, all you have is all you could possibly want.
Give thanks for your most "ordinary" life.
This is how miracle begins, as we embark with sense of adventure seeking the splendid in the sinple gift of everyday.

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!

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*

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..

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..

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!

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..)

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*

BUT!!! to my disappointment.. i look at my hp.. it was.. 5am!! i have to wake up 2 hours later lar.. i was so stressed! (i was surprised at the early sunrise!) newae.. Went to sleep for 2 more hours before my orientation starts. And guess wad.. my fatty send me a sms. so sweet of him! he is wishing me to have fun in camp! hahaha.. budden i abit bad.. i scold him idoit.. cos it was morning at States! (budden.. i am not being mean.. i scold everybody idoit right??) *i promise i will buy a good prezzie for him when i am back! lalalala..*

And the deli starts late.. and we had to walk abit in the freaking cold weather to wait for the deli to open cos we got free breakfast coupon! roar! hahaha.. went to a supermarket, walk around and den walk back to the deli and get a my breakfast.. it was delicious!
*Orientation*

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!

*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..

@ 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~

Slept for an hour. hahah.. actually i did not plan to sleep at all but in the end i decide an hours wink will do me good for the flight to USA! 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~
wanna add.. was damn touched tO see my frens woke up so early to come and send me off.. Weisern told me the night before i leave that he is going over to Tat's house to stay overnight.. and Ray told me he is going over to Mh's place. Huili, ray n mh did not sleep truout the night! hahaha.. so who went?? it's a village man! There are: Shan, Mei, Ching, Tat, Weisern, Ray, Minghui, Huili, aNqi, Louis and Shuhui! woot! so many people! :)
Thanks for all the well wishes and the encouragements! i will jiayou!
I was like a mad woman la.. run here and there.. hahaha.. so many people come to send me off.. dun wanna hu lue any of them! Also, thanks for the call to send me off! :) Tho, u are not vv awake at that point of time.. hahaha.. I did not cry sia~ think i was so busy and my plane is flying off and stuff that i do not have time to think too much. all is it because i am growing stronger? hahaha.. all my zai qi4 i have! (btr.. i am so glad that the postman did his job! i hope for the rest of the letters and stuff i am sending.. the postman better do the right thing!)
My first trip to go so far alone! I cant believe it.. but i am now already there! On the plane.. i past by so many countries... which i doubt i will ever go in my life.. its like wow.. i am now flying over the sky of russia.. u know.. hahaha.. well.. stop at Stockholm (Sweden).. i was like on the plane for 12 hours? our butts hurt sia~ hahaha.. den we board the plane again to New York. 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. Well, better! bigger n more comfy! hahaha.. 4 of us.. we feel so sinful.. we eat, sleep, eat and sleep! hahaha.. Food on plane was like er.. hahaha... u know.. cant expect much! oh yar.. turbulance was scary.. i was so freaking scare when i first experience turbuance. I was like in a rollercoaster.

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..
all the laughs..
all the place that we went..
all the jokes that we say..
all the shows that we say..
all the studpid things that we do..
all the nitty gritty things..
hahaha..
wad r the forces that stop me from leaving..
mayb there's this word that say FRIENDS.
Thank you all..
