Fri:
A long time since the 3 sisters go out together... 1 whole day. We watched The Da Vinci Code. A bit disappointing over the show but at least they didnt alter the storyline much from the book. Give them a bit of credit for that.

Sat:
Went to Kent Ridge Park for Bat's Party. Kinda fun... But definitely tiring and HUNGRY! hehe... After that we went for nasi lemak n prata then followed by bean curd n grass jelly. We are really v hungry ah? hehe...

Thanks to WQ to drive us ard n of cos home...

I'm back from my trip... So Happy! Really v fun!

Day 1:
Suppose to set off at 9am from Kallang... The blur driver who is a m'sian n unsure of S'pore route sort of lost his way and we set off bout ah hour late.

We reached the custom and was greeted by friendly S'pore custom officers and followed by expressionless ones fr the opp side.

The journey...

We cont'd on our almost 2hours journey b4 we reach Kukup. Our holding place is quite cosy... Only the toilet scared the hell out of me! At 1st I saw that all of them are squating units (which I dunno how to use) and directly lead to the sea! (You can see the sea water below). But heng ah... There are another 3 sitting units so *phew*

Scenes of Kukup:
Welcome!


We had our 1st meal, lunch. Nice home cook food by the owners of the resort. After lunch, some went off to catch a nap, some went to look look see see ard, some had their KTV session in the hall, a few aunties started their mahjong war, We? Hide in the air-con room to be away from the heat (Typical S'poreans!) Haha... Playing Uno, poker cards, talk rot... hehe...

We were serve with afternoon tea. Hot and crispy prawn crackers with lots of prawns (normally s'pore you only get 1 or at most 2 prawns) and with a soothing ching teng. Yummy! I was thinking Wah! sure put on weight liao... After our tea time, the gang decided to move our heavy butt to had a walk at the nearby shops (Actually the sun was setting so no longer so hot and plus the nice breeze due to high tide. haha). We bought fireworks and fire crackers. Most of us were very excited cos they had never set their own fire works. When we went back, we cont'd to hibernate in our aircon room till dinner time.

Oh mann! Just when we were about to have dinner, my KPO gastric attack must come and joine din the 'fun'. I think it is also excited bout the trip that it nearly kill me. Thanks to Bee's ah lao's de magic pill and managed to safe me! In the end, I didnt really enjoy the dinner. Anyway, the dinner was BBQ (sintgray, chicken wings, otah, satay) with cooked food (chilli crabs, fresh prawns, veges, fish balls, chilli sotong)! Fantastic Dinner!

After dinner... The prettiest ladies haha...

Time for our fireworks session after dinner! It was really fun and exciting and BEAUTIFUL too... We had a great session with the 4 kids of the owner of the resort... Playing fire crackers, catching, "fighting scenes", childhood games and photo taking session. I really felt the 'child' in the kids. They are so different from S'pore kids which seem so 'adult'. As compared, the 4 kids are so easy contented, indenpendent and loving over each other. They also had recalled the 'child' in us to play with them.

When we were so exhausted, we went to c the owner and the kids fishing at the back of the resort. I saw a live starfish with 6 arms and a HUGE catfish. Chairman of the Green Club, Mr Jab muz start his lesson on "How to handle a catfish" and "Where is the poisonous area of the catfish".

Supper time! We were served with traditional Teochew sweet potato porridge with nice side dishes. the ikan bilis was so cripsy and fragance!

After a shower (dun really enjoy that cos the env is so tense up cos I very uncomfortable with unfamiliar toilet), we had a KTV session till almost 2+am. When everyone started to feel sleepy, I was like OH NO! I cant sleep how? Luckily, Constance's mummy came and entertain the gang with a new poker game and that kept us thinking and occupied till 5+am.

We went off to the top floor (open area) hoping to see stars but it was too cloudy. As PPY and Jab doozed off at the roof top, Constance and I chit chat till the 1st ray of the sun hit us. Too bad that we couldnt see any sunrise in this area. There is only sunset in this area which we missed it in the evening... sighz...

That marked the start of Day 2...

Day 2:
After a wash up and bfast, we were really to go off for our rainforest tracking and kelong visit. Set off at bout 9am. I was freaked out during the trip when we need to walk on the platform with sea below me and you can see it between the filmsy looking wooden planks. The steps at the so-called jetty was so wet and slippery due to the algae. I was feeling so edgy throughout. I hate the feeling of no stablity!

waiting for the boat
Pls do not litter!

The mangrove rainforest was such an eye opening to me. It was more 'real' as compared to my sungei buloh trip with school. There was this tree top bridge in the rainforest, so... Of cos we muz drop it a visit. Oh my! The edgy feeling came back when I saw the step as we climb up the platform. Each step was narrow and far apart from each other. Worst of all, the stairs was not covered, as in you can see the bottom of the platform. Eeks! I finally made it to the top!

Next was the swaying brigde which nearly drove me nuts. I not scared of height but I hate the feeling of unsecured! But the giant and colourful jellyfish swimming in the rive below me had kept my mind occupied for a while. Another challenge had to greet me when... We need to climb down the platform. AH!

We cont'd the walk into the mangrove forest. Seeing monkeys, orange and blue crabs, fiddler crabs, different sizes of mudskippers... Talking bout mudskippers, in Sungnei Buloh, the class was so happy to see 1 mudskipper. But over here... I see till a bit digusted. Too many and some was really huge! We saw 1 near our resort. It only had its head popping out of the mud but the head is big enough to cook curry fishhead liao. EEEEEEeeeee!

saw the fiddler crab?

Can you c the tiny orange n blue crab?

We reached the finishing point at this 6 level tall avary tower. Again I was nearly freak out not by having to climb up but by the stairs and coming down again! But the top view was really breathe taking! Oh my god! Greenery everywhere and the river flowing below, nice breeze and lots of clouds. And that was telling us, fast go off, it was going to rain! haha...

Scenes from the top of the tower
Realised the dark clouds is covering the sky?

We hurry back to the jetty and whilte waiting for the boat, the rain clouds decided to spare us and we cont'd to look out for creatures nearby. I saw a viper (sea snake) swimming nearby and of cos more mudskippers!

The boat came and we cont'd to visit the kelong. Nothing special cos I had been there b4. The Archer Fishes were keeping PPY very very entertained! And a batch of irritating ppl made us angry as their actions might kill the fishes fry. TMD them! Next life be fish and let ppl toture back ah.

We went back to our resort after that. Rest, pack our barang barang... We went to enjoy some sea breeze at the back of the resort (Smart ppl get ready faster mah so got time to relax) and I spotted another sea snake. What's with me and snake? haha... When the sun get stronger, we decided to go and have ice kacang. I had that 1 yr ago and I miss that. Yummy traditional ice kacang and now... another 6 ppl were missing the ice kacang. Haha!

Seafood lunch at the restuarant... and we started our journey back home.

Overall, it was a relaxing and fulfilling trip. A real good escape from the city and I love the ppl there. So friendly, helpful and simple! How I wish I can be simpler too.

Conclusion: We will go again ok?

(photos will be updated soon as the gand are still sorting them out)

These few days super suay loh...

Tue got an eye infection... A layer of jelly-looking stuff was covering the corner of my right eye. Doc said it was an allergy. Maybe dust or something went into the eye.

Wed... It worsen! Got so itchy and a bit swollen. End up couldnt attend my school D&D. Heng that I got Bee to stand in for me. *phew*

Today... Sighz... Woke up with gastric attack plus cramp. After I ate some noodles and medication, it got better. Then in late afternoon... I had an headache!

Pls lah... I'm had a short trip over this wkend. Pray that I'll get well by then ok?

Fri (Vesak Day)
I spent my boring PH at home. No where to go n raining chickens n ducks... by the time the rain had stopped... I already too lazy to move out of the house. Luckily, I had "toy story" to accompany me. A PH and there was nothing interesting on TV. So I watched vcd... "I'm not stupid 2!"

This show is really superb and I like Jerry and the Principal the most.

Sat and Sun
Went out with da jie and mama, go eat at Boon Keng Market then go Bishan to settle some stuff. Then I went to meet the other ladies (the usual gang) to have steam boat then we went over to Ah Eng's place for a overnight chit chat session. And.. Sorry Ah Ben, for making you as the joke of the night. haha...

Sun night... went for a huge feast with evvery1 cos Mother's Day mah. Hmm.. gg to grow fat again I guess...

Mon
Went out with mei mei n ah chang... We had Pepper Lunch and when to enjoy some branded goods air in DFS. haha... Followed by catching Poseidon at the new Cathay. Not bad an environment and the show is truly superb. But.... Super COLD ah!!! Next time go muz prepare extra jacket.

Today
False alarm of sore eyes... turned out to be infection w some particles. Heng ah! hopefully recover soon.

Whenever I bored, I got the implusion of wanting to spend $... So...

I want to buy...

1) Clothes for practicum (I dun have formal wear mah)
2) Shoes (I need shoes to go w my formal wear and another 1 for causal use)
3) Perm my hair... (bored w my old hair stlye)
Something that looks like this
4) Bag for practicum too (seem like practicum is a good excuse to spend $)
But if I can get this then YIPPY liao
5) Digital Cam (Sony T30.. Ful black de)
6) Take a studio photo with mama n my 2 sisters.

Just as I wish I had the $ to indulge myself into some endless shopping, I began to feel the importance of time and right timing. Recently I felt that timing is just an important issue. The same thing that happened at a wrong timing might not turn out well. And when at a point that you felt that your timing is right, the opportunity might had went off.

Conclusion: Time don't wait for you...

Ex-Colligs gathering at Aranda Country Club
06 May 2006

B4 gg for the gathering, I went to Gong Shan Pri to cast my very 1st vote in my life. Nothing exciting... But I like their new arrangement so less q-ing for everyone. In fact, no q-ing for me. I got it over and done with in less than 5 mins.


1stly must thanks the beloved aheng to organise this gathering. We had lots of fun and also lots of alcohol too. Poor Dean got to perform "merlion" due to over drinking and too much mixing of diff alcohol (cos we play games mah).

The next morning I went home and slept for almost 24hours ah... PIG! Muz be the accumulating tiredness over the whole week.

Then today went to Chong Zheng Pri to meet my practicum supervisior. My maiden school... It had changed so much ever since the year I grad. Bout 11 years I guess... The school had grow taller! Really! It is 6 storey high now. Lots of restructuring. It really been thru a whole make over ah. But most of my teachers were no longer there.

That's all of my whole long list of updates. I'll try to get the pics posted asap. Stay Tune!

Green Club Chalet (Aloha Loyang)
Day 1 (03 May 2006
The 3 greatest "chefs" of the club (PPY, BH and I) went in to buy and prepare the food 1st cos the rest got arrowed to attend a nonsense retreat by the sch. So ke lian...

while waiting for the rest to arrive

We over estimated the 'holding capacity' of the guys stomach... ended up with lots of supplus. We managed to kept some of the raw food for the next day and the rest of the cooked food... Usual rule... play game n louser would get to eat more of the yummy food. Haha...

after BBQ..

more pics taking

Gross!

b4 bedtime

Day 2 (04 May 2006)
Everyone slept till so late... (This is the very 1st chalet that I saw ppl sleep till so late.. bout 12+). But muz thanks WQ to wake up early n go n buy crabs for dinner... but come back then KO again. Anyway... after we grab some bite, SX, Jabb, PPY and I went for a mini nature walk. The mozzies nearly killed us so we quickly escaped off. However we still managed to catch a few good scenes with our eye-for-nature (Thks to Jabb esp...)

We proceeded to Downtown East to get some stuff that we need for dinner and went back to chalet. Due to high demand by PPY, we went for a tennis session and followed by bball. Oh man! As if we are gg for sports day... Tiring and followed by muscle aching now! But it was fun... I want to go for tennis again. Oh not forgetting the "Fizzly Wazzly Game" that drove PPY nuts... hehe

Dinner preparaion time... WQ cooked black pepper crab for us and it was 102% yummy! We had fried chicken wings, chilli stingray, goreng cuttlefish balls with black pepper sauce, chilli crabsticks, boiled hotdogs, satay and 4 pcs of otah. (All left over fr previously night BBQ)

After a good shower for every1, we had a mahjong session! I had not been playing mahjong for the past 8 yrs and well... I still rem how to play. No wonder ppl say learning bad things is easy and die hard in you.

We wanted to go to c sun rise... but in the end, the sun rise see us instead. All of us fell asleep while waiting.

Day 3 (05 May 2006)
We nearly over slept and past the check out time. Heng we suddenly all sprung off the bed. After checking out, PPY, Jabb and I went for BK bfast and got trapped in Downtown East by a heavy downpour. So we went to the arcade and spent $$ there. Haha... I took a bad home and that marked the end of the Green Club Chalet!

Once I got home, i rested a while then ah mei accompany me to go make my new specs and contact lens. Then we head down to Ngee Ann City to meet da jie for pizza hut dinner. Her new co required her to b station to shop front for a day. She complaint non-stop bout her aching legs... (So ppl out there dun always think retailers have an easy job. If u dun believe me, try it on ur own.) We bought a watch for mama... her mother's day present. Guess what? Mama said too pretty already, muz wait got "function" then can use. And.... the 3 of us screamed at her...

(Stupid blogger! Make me re-type my posting as it just went "blooh" then all gone le...)

I’m back from my chalet. I had a great time… Now, I had some much things to post, hence I’ll break them down into “episodes” for you. The pics are not with me, I’ll try to upload them as soon as I got hold on them ok?

02 May 2006 Preparation for Workshop
I went to school to do some preparation for our Green Club’s very 1st workshop, The Butterfly Workshop.

While Jabb was preparing the ppt slides, PPY, Jas and I decorated the tut room with lots of butterfly cut-outs, posters, handicraft (thanks to Jas for all the hard work) and not forgetting the artistic drawing done by ME! (* ‘ – ‘ * blushing). I used poster-paint and painted flowers on the whiteboard. In the end, the whole tut room looked like a pre-sch classroom. Haha…



I supposed to meet the legendary lao-hum-ku for a session. She proposed to organize this session to give us some feedbacks on our assignments… in the end… TMD! (Angry things no need to cont’d)

But good also lah… I managed to end my stuff earlier anc went jalan jalan w R. We went to PS and I saw this super good-looking salesman from BOSE. Then followed by gg to find JC to pass him his bday present. Give he earlier lah cos I would b in chalet during his bday. Anyway Happy 25th Bday to you!


03 May 2006 The Butterfly Workshop
The big day had arrived! But the morning rain had made us soooo worried bout the attendance. Nonetheless, many of the participants had turned up for the session. (Thank you for your supprt!)

The event turned out to be a great success. This had boosted the Green Club’s confidence and morale. (Hang on guys! There will be more exciting and interesting activities coming your way)

No matter what... There's always time for phto shooting
