I'M BACK!!

thanks for the wishes while i was away.

I MISSED SO MANY THINGS WHILE I WAS AWAY!!

samba jalan raye among many things.

&& my mum's and uncle's day-case operations!! omg.

anyways...THE TRIP WAS

GAZILLIONIOUSLY-SUPER-DUPER-SUMO-SLAMDUNK- AWESOME!!

point done. i'm waiting for pics from siao wei and shawn. our ingenious photographers.

i was bunked in with stella, charmaine, siao wei and ms lee. all the important people of the trip.

and sad to say, i was down since the start so i wasn't all that sparkling translator nor was i the dependable room i/c. LOL! to be honest, i was the worst. kept everyone awake with my coughing that "shook the whole HUT!" according to charmaine! but then again, i'll take credit where due. hehehes!

so anyways!

1st and 2nd day was spent mostly at pesantren al-ghazi. I was like self-elected full-time translator and caretaker of the kids there. cos i was the only one who understood what they were talking about most of the time. and the kids were SO CUTE!! too bad i didn't get to take much photos. but when i was there, i learnt so much about so many things. i also understood the people there better. i think this trip is one of my stepping stones into maturity. like truly. bad and good was all there.

3rd day was SHOCKINGLY BLASTABULOS! what with boomnetting (that's the real fun part where you get go jump into a net at the sides of a speeding boat!) and first-time kayaking (alone!) and swimming towards another ISLAND! and not forgetting the blood-churning 10-storey high FLYING FOX INTO THE SEA! it was all FUN!! one of the reasons i didn't wish to go home on the last day. oh btw, I HAVE AFFAIRS there!! hahahas! to think of it now, it brings on a smile on my face:)) cos rite, i'm the only malay girl there, leading to all the incessant teasing from the loola coordinators especially dul! irritating lor! he came with a speedboat, zoom pass me, so that i can't kayak cos of the waves. and he did it TWICE. ON PURPOSE!! wth. lols!

i am really glad i didn't have doubts about the trip cos i think i share samuel's view. this is one of the best camps you can ever go through. its 4 days worth of experience that you can bring with you throughout your whole life. i learnt appreciation, discipline, responsibility, honesty and simplicity.

life is great when u take the chance to step back and look at it from a new point of view. that's all i can say.

oh btw, on the last post right, bs screwed me up. so i didn't get to post up the post. it was about my hari raya celebration and all. and photos also can't be uploaded. i dunno wats wrong but planning to find out soon. as for now, i'm off to jalan raye with my primary school friends. i swear it'll be fun. 11 people going man! awesome or what? WOOOOO!!!
