Monday, June 9, 2008
Started out the day normally enough...woke up brushed teeth and bla bla... then got mum to sign indemnity form...was actually considering whether to go for the event at all...(lucky i did) :P and then i set off at 3.30 (heh the event supposed to start at 3pm) and managed to reach at around 4.10 lol... was supposed to go to team 3 and part of the Guo family!! Turned out i was actually the family head...and i was late...damn pai seh lorh!! then we had a family march and my in grown toe nail was stepped on like 100000 times... i was screaming in pain after the event lol... had to change to sandals after it...then we had dinner!! rice baked beans n sardines...not bad lah considering this is a poverty camp shouldn't expect too much right? after that, we had a 'disaster' and i as family head were supposed to find my family members in that randomized list within 15 seconds!! argh!! turned out i could only find 2 members (jin chieh n Jermyn) at the shelter...that was so sad lorh and we had to lug the materials all the way to west coast park where we later slept...(or supposed to anyway) We built out slums out of the cardboard provided. Ya we later had 'bonding' sessions in our slums and played games n told jokes all teh way!! lol jin chieh was giving intellectual games with all that 'this is one n this is two n bla bla...one string two string three string...' lol make me think like siao and in the end still never figure out the common pattern....all the other ppl could solve it....makes me feel stupid lol...then we played the 'sam sui women' game. apparently we finally got the E ball and dumped all our bottles into the ground and emerged top for number of bottles but last for timing... lolers...Then we were supposed to go back to our slums n sleep but we played more lame games lol but they were fun!! and when i was telling a joke...i told it halfway then i forgot the ending....sooooooo paisehhh!!! then it was already 12.30 am and we thought let's turn in...then weixing n jermyn went for a walk...then yanting went as well...and i couldn't sleep anyway so i went to look for them...found them eventually and ended up sitting by the sea and talking away into the night...then weixing took out his phone n we were playing music for 2 hours straight!! then me n yanting started singing hahahahahaz me=bad singer anyway then weixing slept halfway lol!! altogether we stayed there for 4 hours!! amazing...nvr stayed up all night before... and then we went to mcdonalds and got 15 minutes of shut eye before we were coerced into going back to camp site...had breakfast-bread n kaya...ended up with spreading for everyone...(hehe din know if my hands were clean or not...well i din get a stomachache neway... :P) then we went back to vivocity liaoxxx slept on bus as well...played some games which were supposed to have some link at all to the victims from the sichuan earthquake (no link anyway...) then we went on to the factory and became the adults while the others were the 'children' and got to play captain's ball -_-'' (should have volunteered to b a child...) then we were forced to make a toy which we were supposed to market later (which i didn't...) had to start on the house... after making like a gazillion bricks...we were given lunch-cheeseburgers from burger king YAY! lifted our spirits at least...then we went on to making more bricks and 3 members of our family were building the skeleton of the house...then suddenly 'celebrities' came and were SUPPOSED to help us build our houses and the celebrity assigned to us was daphne khoo... supposedly yay right? but she seriously looked damn scary in person with all the make up...but wth she just came and helped us for 15 minutes and left (that called helping...??she made like <10 bricks and stood around most of the time...) then we just chionged our house out...apparently the wall which i was working on was the weakest paiseh.... then when the house was finally completed...they told us to sit down and wait for the judges to arrive which was a full half an hour...and eventually it was our turn to get our house judged..he was looking at it and we were soooooooooooooooooo super super afraid that it might collapse on him...then he shook the house...we all covered our eyes....lucky the house nvr collapse sia... then he was like mm mm ok and went on to the next house... then it was a full hour later before the closing ceremony started...and they were like announcing the winners of the the points that we have earned...and then...when they were announcing the winner...i was like thinking what are the odds of us winning...close to 0% and one of my family members, boon pin i think, bet with me that he thinks that our family will not win at all...then when they announced that the Guo family(which was us) was the winner, i was shocked for a full 3 seconds before going up the stage to receive the prize...which was a trip to sichuan to help the relief effort in rebuilding...when we brought it back we were all gaping and in a state of shock...then it dawned on me that must be that guy who sold 100 houses -_-'' lol yeah then after the event we were sad to say goodbye coz our group was one of the closest group evar!! we were even the only one with a cheer hahahaz... there was supposed to b a second cheer but we never did it hehez... then me, jermyn, weixing, yanting n christabel went to vivocity to eat...Carl's Jr apparently...quite good but not likely i'll eat there again...(too expensive!!!) then weixing 'had to go' and jermyn n aaron followed and i did luckily not knowing what they were doing at all... they went to collect the cake...then we spent like ages finding an appropriate place to celebrate yanting's birthday...we had light sticks and all... then when it was finally set up we called christabel to come bring yanting...we sang and chatted and bla bla until christabel started the deadly chain reaction...she pushed weixing's face into the cake...then we were all smashing cakes into each other's faces...and yanting got hit twice!! hahahaz...then after we have all washed up...i took the container of jermyn's lightsticks and was wondering why it was so bright and i was mixing it around...:D and apparently not all of them were lit and when i mixed them around...almost all lit up...jermyn was almost hysterical lol ahahaha and poured a bottle of water on me...hehehez then we all went home on the mrt but yanting had to take the bus awww!!!
