lets see what happened to me this year. gonna be quite cool i hope. lemme go refer to my organiser. -flip through the pile of junk on table-. there! found it.
ENTERPRISE
1. my official 1st year in enterprise. officially submitted the form on the 2nd day of sch.
2. 1st event: hearts in the air. ballooons and stuff on valentines day. can say it was quite a memorable one for me.
3. 1st project: crescent mama store! 1st poster in the series of 4 went up on 13th feb. the rest followed soon after. official opening: 030306. (: well, the comm survived the storm together. can say it bonded us really well. got to know quite a few people better and they are indeed very good friends to be with. <3
4. 1st task: sec 1 training. well this was a follow up from the year before. and was done by me yuexi yuqi carrina. had loads of fun then as well. bonded like a lot a lot with the gang. totally love them all (: chicken little dance was definitely one which i would always remember. the ocassional fights and stuff simply gets erased when ultimately, we complete this task successfully. yay! also, outing to arab street was quite memorable. planning efforts did work out in the end. enjoyed the whole process like loads.
5. 1st competition: Ideas in action 2006. submitted the sec1 training arab street part as proposal. but we didnt win so yea ):
6. 2nd competition: Learning Journey by Singapore Mint. partner: wilin! we did a whole introduction powerpoint thingy on poland. and we exceeded the dateline. luckily the whole thing went through man. wasnt prepared at all for this competition. so we didnt win and i wasnt surprised. can say we didnt put in our best effort lah. so it was our fault. sucks. ):
7. 2nd project: pullover project. can say this project was the most tedious one ever. dragged like forever and we only got the stocks at the end of the year even though we started off in march. was in logistics team with yuexi yuqi amanda limin tracy. well, can say we didnt really try much lah. besides looking for the sponsors which in the end realised that there was no point. hahaha. helped out with canteen sales quite often. 2006 was also the year i learnt how to skip lunch and recess and not feeling the hunger. haha. quite a good way to jian fei huh. (: but im glad to say that the pullover project was quite okay. although it wasnt really very successful, i've gained loads of experience on how to handle a project properly and well can say i've learnt much from the mistakes of others. (: not to forget, i love the pullover song!
8. setting up of stalls: this yr set up quite a few stalls. all very impromptu but glad that people were actually willing to take time off to do these. funfair, orientation, 50th anniversary merchandise and stuff. well, guess shifting tables aren't that hard after the 2nd try. heh.
9. 1st competition i didnt join: yes-nec. haha. but nevertheless, me and yuexi still went down and support the 2 teams. their ideas were good. just that some other sch managed to impress the judges better. that's something we definitely gotta work on. but oh well, march and we're gone. so what's the point. so hopefully the next generation will come along and do something bout it.
10. steppng up: stepped up as project manager! whee! was quite amazing that i've only join the cca for maybe 4 months and im a comm member. thanks to those who believed in me. (: ceo: miss thng pokpok. we had loads of fun along the way. haha. something i'd definitely remember.
11. 1st task as project manager: remind participants of the vbc competition. had to remind the participants to go online and play this challenge thingy once every 4 days. tedious task bout i kinddaf enjoyed it so yea. (:
12. 2nd event: MOE excel fest. held at fairfield this year. most memorable thing did at the fair: shopping for the goods and decorative items to make our booth WOOOOSH! haha. quite cool and fun. totally enjoyed it. and i <3 spraying the banner with glitter especially. was totally fun when the glitter got onto my hair. haha. was incharge of a group of girls that day for one particular shift and in the end had to lug everything back in a cab to sch. can say that it was quite a cool thing to do cuz i had loads of fun eating ice cream. and got 6 cca points in the process. but that doesnt really matter cuz i dont think doing things for cca points is worth it. meaningless i would say.
13. 1st comm mtg outside sch: at pokpok's house! had some steamboat and hotplate thingy. bonded loads with comm. love them all. <3 1st time we all played the polar bear game together. yay! and i remember grace! pokpok's cousin if im not wrong. "im way-dy!" HAHA so cute lah! meeting was for the teachers' day present i think.
14. teachers day: hand made this book thingy for ms tan and bought mr keong this thing which i cant rmb what. i loved the book a lot a lot. how nice would it be if someone could gimme something like that. heh.
15. 3rd event: e-card competition. i was the prize table ic. haha it was so stupid tt day cuz i had to wear my council u and go to this freak tiny auditorium to give out the prize. well, can say that i had gained some experience cuz things were screwing up and the participants dont get their prize properly and blah but yea. actually no screwd up thing seem to matter cuz i <3 all the things that we do together which makes life in i&e so much more fun!
16. 1st camp: i&e camp. boy. really took a long long long long time to plan man. and loads of screwd up stuff along the way. started our 1st camp mtg on the 9th of oct. directly after our finals had ended. and boy we are working again. haha. but yea, location didnt fit and we had to end up camping in sch. resulting in many bullshit excuses of people who didnt like to camp in sch and didnt come for camp in the end. camp ended up with only a mere handful of people like say 5? plus all the comm members xcept lois who was overseas. haha how nice. but yes camp was nice. totally rocked. i <3 camp a lot a lot a lot a lot ALOT
17. 1st nickname in enterprise which people all started calling me: MISS PEARLYN NEO. wow. haha all thanks to miss tan. now everyone calls me that. gah. :18. treats of the year: realised that this yr was full of treats as well, thanks to ms tan. haha i simply love them loads. marche, garlic restaurant, gelare, max brenner, billy bombers. and i have one more max brenner coming up! woooosh! <3 thanks a lot!
so i can say that my year in enterprise had been really fulfulling. totally loved all the thing that i did with the club, with the comm. made many really valuable friendships. had loads of fun along the way. thanks to all those who made my day so much so much during all the weeekly meetings. although i&e had been one of my major stress giver, it had never failed to be one of my greatest joy bringer. i'd never forget all these memories. they hold just too much. and mt had been really really great throughout the year. although with her usual pms and stuff (even though she claim she doesnt have) i can say she'd been the teacher im the closest to in my entire 9 years of education. and with the 10 year pact thingy due on 091215. how can i ever forget her? i love i&e to bits and pieces. loads and loads. and million truckloads. <3
next up. COUNCIL
1.orientation: glad to say this yr's orientation for 1s2 had been quite cool. helped 1s1 a little. tried to get chances to go close to my old ________. had loads of fun at this 3rd campfire i've been to. (:
2. my project book: hah. what a lame idea i would say. but yea anw, cant really remember much bout it. just know that i didnt really participate. lol.
3. vision statement workshop: hah! another weird idea that puts me to sleep. well, im not relly for council so yea. but anw, glad that there's a vision to look forward to.
4. valentines day: roses and cute looking hairband sale. (:
5. crescentian reunion: the 1st of the whole chain of 50th anniversary event. did ushering and school tour. really really cool. proud to say that i been to all the events for 50th anniversary. either for council, enterprise or just to enjoy the show. hah. crescent will hold a big place in my heart man.
6. council invest: quite cool. senior councillor worh! hahahaa. although i didnt get into exco but oh well who cares? glad i have more time to settle my barang. (:
7. speech day: the 3rd of the whole chain of 50th anniversary events. did prize table duty. quite cool man. it's like terrifying cuz it was my first, but yea i throughly enjoyed it. i was the one in charge of holding tray, moving in and out of the curtain. hehe. and guess what, that's not the end of my prize table days man.
8. sec4 farewell: prize table again. this time with edwyna. although it had much less rehersals compared to speech day, like only 1, i had loads of fuN! and this time i was like totally more confident and stuff cuz it's my 3rd alrdy, considering my speech day one, the e-card one and all. haha. im the official prize-table girl.
so im gonna be stepping down council soon. come to think of it, no matter how much i heck care bout council, it had played quite a big part in my life in crescent man. the tie that strangles you every single day, the attire neat neat stuff and all. trained me to be a much more open person and i got chance to do many cool stuff and attend cool events that i dont think many are able to. i get to learn skills and stuff, really really memorable experience in council. but i cant wait to step down and be free. once more. yay!
STUDIES
1. i can honestly say i didnt put in much effort to study this yr.
2. i tried to chiong studying when it was so near so near the exams and i study the night before tests.
3. i haven pass amaths at all this year.
4. i only passed emath twice this year.
5. my studies dropped so much so much compared to the years before and i only started to work hard near the end only to realise it was too late.
6. i had a total of 18 consultations in one month before the amaths paper.
know something? o's next year. i better buck up and study. and i better focus on studying man. since i'll be free from council in march (which is a good thing) and i'll be free from i&e in march (which is a bad thing). march to october. a long long struggle of studies. -groans-
OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS
1. i changed my ________ this year.
2. now im like switching here and there. but i guess the obsession on both's all over. just a mutual friendship thing from now on.
3. i've made really cool friends and i'm glad that i made them this year and knew them so much better. well, firstly there's pokpok. (: the 2 pokpoks in fact. all the things that we did together really bonded us so much so much. there's the 111 bus clique, esp bertha and juanita and not to forget yingliang and yingying. i'll really really miss them when we dont meet on the bus nxt yr anymore. there's my dadang waiteng who's forever there even when i need to rant, she still understands. i guess obs brought us so much closer together. there's my good ol class buddies felly wellies. always there when i need someone to accompany me for consultation. we share notes and stuff. real cool. there's the cool dude eleanor who never fails to send me cute cards and make me smile.

Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicidad
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D well, nowadays been hearing this phrase, "the true spirit of christmas". what's the "the true spirit of christmas" man. some say it's bonding, some say it's sharing, some say it's giving and blah. haha i think for me this yr my "true spirit of christmas" would be spending time with my loved ones. my christmas had been quite special this yr i guess. my aunt just came back form shanghai! hahaha just for the christmas break. 1 week later she's gonna go back and the next time im gonna see her is gonna be chinese new year. yea. so me and my sis picked her up from the airport. whoo!
christmas eve had been awesome! had loads of fun trying out the games tt enterprise bought and scotland yard didnt turn out to be THAT fun afterall. well, the last time i played it was good! but now, nahh. hahaha uncle named it the "wild goose chase". christmas mass was awesome too! (: i love high masses. (: rciy sat 1 pew in front of me, my sis, aunt and uncle. stephy was being as cute as ever. (: i was so entertained during mass, since the choir nearly made me sleep. haha. received loads of gifts from the everyone. thanks guys! hahaha. really, it's the thought that counts. though i really dunno what im gonna do with all the gifts given to me since i have no use for them, but yea they'll remain in my room no matter what. hehe. gave out mars balls to everyone. though small compared to their big big wrapped gifts, i guess it's the thought that counts too! :D hehee. pathatic mars balls. oh well.
mass ended quite late. i love staying out at night! hahaha. nono i love staying out in the morning. well there's really this xmas atmosphere all around. quite cool. slept for only a few hours, woke up and went for macs breakfast downstairs. was feeling this festive mood all around. and i just had to happily get high, come home and continue listening to christmas songs. WHEE! (:
oh well, registration day, found out tt cai xing lin is actually coming to my sch. gosh. cai xing fang's sister. end of my days of freedom. now the whole world will know what the heck im doing in sch. well, if u wanna know just ask me why. but yea, anw im supposed to bring her to sch on the 1st day like okayyyy. waaaanita clone! better come and entertain me on the way also please! haha.
next yr's gonna be a real busy year ahead. dedication ceremony's on 5th jan, morning assembly. gosh. tt's only the 3rd day of school! how can! so early. and orientation + campfire + dedication ceremony all end by 5th jan. everything ends in the 1st 3 days of sch. wow how crammed. oh did i mention, I GET TO PIN BADGE THIS YEAR! haha happy and sad. happy cuz we are now finally the lao da of the sch, can do whatever we want. and sad cuz we are about to leave soon. and sec4 means i gotta fight the bad guy o'. sucks. nvm, i shall make the most out of the time i spend the happiest in. by march, let us, the i&e comm, accomplish the impossible, leave a lasting legacy and step down in peace. yeah. and i'll study hard for o's and earn the chocolate buffet treat. hoho.
well, i think im a very fickle minded person. when i spend more time with one and get to like bond more laugh more with one person, i tend to miss the other for a while, before kinddaf "forgetting" the other person. but when i spend loads of time with the other, i will start missing the 1st one. and soon "forgetting". but when i see both walking around, im reminded that hey. this is what u want to be. and im reminded that at least someone cares and there's always people that i can turn to in school. hahaha having 2 __________ is good! anw. i better stop this infactuation turning into obsession thingy and concentrate on my studies! close friends will know what im talking bout so yeah. please try and persuade me whenever i mention bout them. either that or ignore me. thank you. (: hopefully i'll still be able to keep in touch with the both of them even after i graduate. cuz i still owe someone + someone's close one a treat and some other person owe me a treat! so yeah. how can we lose touch?
anyway, merry christmas!
this song was sung inpromptuly at mass by fr adrian. and i think it's quite cool.
"I Wish You Jesus" by Scott Wesley Brown
I could wish you joy and peace.
To last a whole life long.
I could wish you sunshine.
Or a cheerful little song
Or wish you all the happiness.
That this life could bring.
But I wish You Jesus, more than anything.
I could wish you leaves of gold.
And may your path be smooth.
I could wish you treasures.
Or that all your dreams come true.
And I could wish you paradise.
That every day be spring.
But I wish You Jesus, more than anything.
'Cause when I wish you Jesus,
I've wished you everything.
yay! the xmas stocking i saw on dee's livejournal. anw, settlers on tuesday with i&e comm was simply fun. well though a little disappointing (i shant elaborate why) and a little draggy, i just simply enjoyed the company! gosh, we should have more such outing often, well, not worked based but simply bonding based! haha have i said i love i&e? well, i love i&e LOADS. :D it's gonna be quite hard for me to take it when we step down 3 months later. imagine me not rushing round hurrying people to do stuff and not doing stuff for i&e and no more running errands for mt but just purely studying till the o's. oh my. kill me please. =/ and my homework's waiting for me to go on a date with it. well seriously it's the most disgusting fellow i've ever met man. get off my back you idiot! how i wish i can just throw u in the bin. grrrrrrr. dont even see the point of doing hw when the teachers are happily enjoying their hols and at the most just put a chop there that says "checked". well, happened to me in sec1 when i did like shit. this sucks man. i got official homework phobia. shoo homework shooo! aunt's coming back this week. yay! (: gonna do all my hw before she comes back so i can play like nobody's business. well, unlikely but i guess i'll try.
this trip had been quite eggciting well cause particially i've turned into a shopaholic this yr. haha. when i went last yr i was like half dead cuz i think walking around and buying stuff is plain tiring but no. this yr had been superly great! just walked round and round bargaining and stuff. quite interesting. well, cultural shock, the people there can speak english! haha. they even had this car decal on like almost every car which says "I [heart shape] farangs (our version of angmohs)! we can speak english" hahahaha super hilarious.
anyway, it made me really happy that im spending money at a really fast speed (especially when it iznt mine). haha did i say that i love spending money that iznt mine? first it was the boardgames things. whooooo man! and now thailand. well, the biggest record, spending 120 bucks buying around 10+ items in 1 day. bought pokpok like the most stuff cuz she told me soooo many things to get. and now she owes me a gelare treat. hah!
well her blog post made me think bout my purpose in life. like wth am i here for. maybe i should start getting more in touch with my spiritual self. haha. missed mass last sun, 3rd sun of advent. poootsie. :( hoho xmas this yr will be so much of shopping for gifts, sending xmas cards, going for mass, bonding with my aunt, bonding with friends and praying hard that sch doesnt start so soon (well it's totally impossible lah but gahhh) maybe the sch building will collapse tonight.
-wishwish-
tomorrow settlers with enterprise + outing with rciy. gosh. clash again. dont feel like going for an tmr. haha im a lazy pig. and someone out there still owes me max brenner + luge + skyride! (: maybe if im lucky i can convince her to get me gelare too. hahahaha :D
-a road to anywhere in life is a road to nowhere
im leaving for thailand now. gonna be back on the 16th. anything just msg me (at the most u pay the sms bill HEHE).
till then!
do have a enjoyable week!
esp pokpok. all the best in your hw doing.
to dee: i'll be sure to come for eoy!
to bertha: friend! dont miss me too much (i know u will)
<3 all.
and ytd was really fun. i managed to con mt to treating me breakfast! wheee! and we bought a lot of stuff at ikea and bloomington. i <3 i&e loads.
I MISS CAMP! D:
loooking at my previous post and the folders containing all the pics simply make me laugh. i guess things wont be the same after the camp anymore. stepping down date draws nearer and nearer, and as sec4 arrives we'd be caught up with all the acadamics blah blah blah. come to think of it, camp's the only time that we can really bond. no time to do so much of i&e stuff when sch starts. hahaha.
outing with mt, pokpok, yasmin and jim was superly awesome on saturday. i always have this urge to ask jim "hey jim. go gym?" HAHA but pokpok and yas thinks its stupid so i didnt ask. common pokpok! he does have the looks okays! sense of humour definitely there. and ya la quite a good catch i must say. it's feels extreamly shiok to be spending hundreds of dollars that iznt mine. HAHA. spent like tons at toy r'us and kino and borders. and games nowadays arent cheap man. well, all these are for the next project launching next yr. what is it? i cant tell youuu! but it's 100% gurenteed fun fun FUN. just hope that everything will turn out successfully and that well, hopefully the next batch wont screw things up. afterall, we can only be part of this project till march. :( well, come to think of it, i dont think any of us comm would mind if you call us back and name us "advisor" know.
so everything on saturday was fun fun fun! saw things that i dont think we are supposed to see. pokpok keep urging me to "quick look away!" but i keep taking small peeeks. heard a lot of things that we weren't supposed to hear as well. oh and im now the official "ANYTHING woman" which turns out to be not THAT anything afterall. we spent 1/2h trying to decide what to eat for dinner, since yas had to go home alrdy. well, the anything woman hereby delares, no fast food, no seoul garden, no this no that. den they will ask "den what do u want?" and i'll be "oh anything. all also can" HAHA wth right. so we ended up with billy bombers. after we kicked swensens and ding tai fung off the list cuz the queue was madness. HAHA. billy bombers was great. :D well i must say this is the 1st time i bonded like quite not bad with jim. he actually forgot me from last yr until the same scene happened this yr again. HAHA.
oooh and we made a pact with him and mt. that in 10 years time, we'll meet again and he'll treat me and pokpok to dinner or smth. and he wants to see how we turn out to be like. so there, jim owes me a treat in 10 years time. 9 december 2015 be sure to remind me to meet him! but in the not so near future first, me and pokpok owe jim 1 treat and we owe mt 2 treats. while mt owe me 1 max brenner's treat. yeah xD so that means we will still be able to meet up in the near future i guess. really really hope that we wont lose touch in the 10 years to come. haha 10 years is like so near yet so far kinddaf thing. i will never ever forget mt, well long story but yea. she's the closest teacher i ever know in my whole life so far. never before was any teacher like her please. which teacher would treat you to sooo many meals in a short period of just a year?!?! marche, garlic restaurant, max brenner, gelare, billy bombers and the soon to come max brenner and 2 treat that we owe her and the one to come in 10 years. me and pok will try our best to keep in touch with her man. hahahaha hopefully in 10 years someone wont be filled with white hair and saggy boobs. and jim's sense of humour will still be there. pok ah! glam up! HAHA.
pokpok and jim were talking bout universities and stuff and it made me think about what im gonna study in the years to come. well, overseas is definitely not an option. if i can study in singapore den why not? unless i get some scholarship to oxford or cambridge or princeton or smth den i wont mind. guess most prob i'm gonna study real real real real hard after march when i settle down with enterprise at the back of my head. dont worry, i&e will forever be in my heart. just not so much in my brain from march till the o levels. really really hope to come back to i&e when i go to jc. we can come back and help out and be the "advisor" HAHA. quite cool come to think of it. im gonna study hard and get my below 10 points o level score and then more choices will be open to me. i can go to poly and study mass comm or chinese studies just like bertha, or go to jc arts stream den to uni and study chinese studies or psycology or philosophy. or some weird subject that can give me my degree. and i'll end up being a teacher. haha. teacher's the end of the road, but the start of a brand new journey. go around inspiring kids quite cool huh! so yeah. 1 thing for sure, i wont "liang ma lu" -inside joke HAHA.
please dril this into your head pearlyn: someone owes u a treat on 9.12.2015. i better set my phone alarm to remind me of that day. HAHA. what rubbish xD
enterprise's my life. i'll never ever let it go. it'd given me the best memories ever in all my 15 years. <3 every single thing. good or bad. even all the stress are worth it. wow my term in enterprise, 14 months. my term in enterprise comm, 9 months. this must have been the shortest in enterprise history man. but we must have been the best comm ever around. (: im loving every single thing that gotta do with i&e. it's my life.
4:29 pm, Sunday, December 31, 2006
haha im back from my short little hiatus. (: had been spending the past few days lazing around at my grandma's house with my aunt who's back from shanghai for a short lill christmas break. lol. woke up at like practically 11.30 each day, eat breakfast at 1. eat lunch at 3. eat dinner at 7. sleep at 1. im such a pig huh. (: yeah. so it's the last day of the year 2006. sobs. i kinddaf like this year man. and nxt yr is just gonna be like stress stress stess. -pouts-lets see what happened to me this year. gonna be quite cool i hope. lemme go refer to my organiser. -flip through the pile of junk on table-. there! found it.
ENTERPRISE
1. my official 1st year in enterprise. officially submitted the form on the 2nd day of sch.
2. 1st event: hearts in the air. ballooons and stuff on valentines day. can say it was quite a memorable one for me.
3. 1st project: crescent mama store! 1st poster in the series of 4 went up on 13th feb. the rest followed soon after. official opening: 030306. (: well, the comm survived the storm together. can say it bonded us really well. got to know quite a few people better and they are indeed very good friends to be with. <3
4. 1st task: sec 1 training. well this was a follow up from the year before. and was done by me yuexi yuqi carrina. had loads of fun then as well. bonded like a lot a lot with the gang. totally love them all (: chicken little dance was definitely one which i would always remember. the ocassional fights and stuff simply gets erased when ultimately, we complete this task successfully. yay! also, outing to arab street was quite memorable. planning efforts did work out in the end. enjoyed the whole process like loads.
5. 1st competition: Ideas in action 2006. submitted the sec1 training arab street part as proposal. but we didnt win so yea ):
6. 2nd competition: Learning Journey by Singapore Mint. partner: wilin! we did a whole introduction powerpoint thingy on poland. and we exceeded the dateline. luckily the whole thing went through man. wasnt prepared at all for this competition. so we didnt win and i wasnt surprised. can say we didnt put in our best effort lah. so it was our fault. sucks. ):
7. 2nd project: pullover project. can say this project was the most tedious one ever. dragged like forever and we only got the stocks at the end of the year even though we started off in march. was in logistics team with yuexi yuqi amanda limin tracy. well, can say we didnt really try much lah. besides looking for the sponsors which in the end realised that there was no point. hahaha. helped out with canteen sales quite often. 2006 was also the year i learnt how to skip lunch and recess and not feeling the hunger. haha. quite a good way to jian fei huh. (: but im glad to say that the pullover project was quite okay. although it wasnt really very successful, i've gained loads of experience on how to handle a project properly and well can say i've learnt much from the mistakes of others. (: not to forget, i love the pullover song!
8. setting up of stalls: this yr set up quite a few stalls. all very impromptu but glad that people were actually willing to take time off to do these. funfair, orientation, 50th anniversary merchandise and stuff. well, guess shifting tables aren't that hard after the 2nd try. heh.
9. 1st competition i didnt join: yes-nec. haha. but nevertheless, me and yuexi still went down and support the 2 teams. their ideas were good. just that some other sch managed to impress the judges better. that's something we definitely gotta work on. but oh well, march and we're gone. so what's the point. so hopefully the next generation will come along and do something bout it.
10. steppng up: stepped up as project manager! whee! was quite amazing that i've only join the cca for maybe 4 months and im a comm member. thanks to those who believed in me. (: ceo: miss thng pokpok. we had loads of fun along the way. haha. something i'd definitely remember.
11. 1st task as project manager: remind participants of the vbc competition. had to remind the participants to go online and play this challenge thingy once every 4 days. tedious task bout i kinddaf enjoyed it so yea. (:
12. 2nd event: MOE excel fest. held at fairfield this year. most memorable thing did at the fair: shopping for the goods and decorative items to make our booth WOOOOSH! haha. quite cool and fun. totally enjoyed it. and i <3 spraying the banner with glitter especially. was totally fun when the glitter got onto my hair. haha. was incharge of a group of girls that day for one particular shift and in the end had to lug everything back in a cab to sch. can say that it was quite a cool thing to do cuz i had loads of fun eating ice cream. and got 6 cca points in the process. but that doesnt really matter cuz i dont think doing things for cca points is worth it. meaningless i would say.
13. 1st comm mtg outside sch: at pokpok's house! had some steamboat and hotplate thingy. bonded loads with comm. love them all. <3 1st time we all played the polar bear game together. yay! and i remember grace! pokpok's cousin if im not wrong. "im way-dy!" HAHA so cute lah! meeting was for the teachers' day present i think.
14. teachers day: hand made this book thingy for ms tan and bought mr keong this thing which i cant rmb what. i loved the book a lot a lot. how nice would it be if someone could gimme something like that. heh.
15. 3rd event: e-card competition. i was the prize table ic. haha it was so stupid tt day cuz i had to wear my council u and go to this freak tiny auditorium to give out the prize. well, can say that i had gained some experience cuz things were screwing up and the participants dont get their prize properly and blah but yea. actually no screwd up thing seem to matter cuz i <3 all the things that we do together which makes life in i&e so much more fun!
16. 1st camp: i&e camp. boy. really took a long long long long time to plan man. and loads of screwd up stuff along the way. started our 1st camp mtg on the 9th of oct. directly after our finals had ended. and boy we are working again. haha. but yea, location didnt fit and we had to end up camping in sch. resulting in many bullshit excuses of people who didnt like to camp in sch and didnt come for camp in the end. camp ended up with only a mere handful of people like say 5? plus all the comm members xcept lois who was overseas. haha how nice. but yes camp was nice. totally rocked. i <3 camp a lot a lot a lot a lot ALOT
17. 1st nickname in enterprise which people all started calling me: MISS PEARLYN NEO. wow. haha all thanks to miss tan. now everyone calls me that. gah. :18. treats of the year: realised that this yr was full of treats as well, thanks to ms tan. haha i simply love them loads. marche, garlic restaurant, gelare, max brenner, billy bombers. and i have one more max brenner coming up! woooosh! <3 thanks a lot!
so i can say that my year in enterprise had been really fulfulling. totally loved all the thing that i did with the club, with the comm. made many really valuable friendships. had loads of fun along the way. thanks to all those who made my day so much so much during all the weeekly meetings. although i&e had been one of my major stress giver, it had never failed to be one of my greatest joy bringer. i'd never forget all these memories. they hold just too much. and mt had been really really great throughout the year. although with her usual pms and stuff (even though she claim she doesnt have) i can say she'd been the teacher im the closest to in my entire 9 years of education. and with the 10 year pact thingy due on 091215. how can i ever forget her? i love i&e to bits and pieces. loads and loads. and million truckloads. <3
next up. COUNCIL
1.orientation: glad to say this yr's orientation for 1s2 had been quite cool. helped 1s1 a little. tried to get chances to go close to my old ________. had loads of fun at this 3rd campfire i've been to. (:
2. my project book: hah. what a lame idea i would say. but yea anw, cant really remember much bout it. just know that i didnt really participate. lol.
3. vision statement workshop: hah! another weird idea that puts me to sleep. well, im not relly for council so yea. but anw, glad that there's a vision to look forward to.
4. valentines day: roses and cute looking hairband sale. (:
5. crescentian reunion: the 1st of the whole chain of 50th anniversary event. did ushering and school tour. really really cool. proud to say that i been to all the events for 50th anniversary. either for council, enterprise or just to enjoy the show. hah. crescent will hold a big place in my heart man.
6. council invest: quite cool. senior councillor worh! hahahaa. although i didnt get into exco but oh well who cares? glad i have more time to settle my barang. (:
7. speech day: the 3rd of the whole chain of 50th anniversary events. did prize table duty. quite cool man. it's like terrifying cuz it was my first, but yea i throughly enjoyed it. i was the one in charge of holding tray, moving in and out of the curtain. hehe. and guess what, that's not the end of my prize table days man.
8. sec4 farewell: prize table again. this time with edwyna. although it had much less rehersals compared to speech day, like only 1, i had loads of fuN! and this time i was like totally more confident and stuff cuz it's my 3rd alrdy, considering my speech day one, the e-card one and all. haha. im the official prize-table girl.
so im gonna be stepping down council soon. come to think of it, no matter how much i heck care bout council, it had played quite a big part in my life in crescent man. the tie that strangles you every single day, the attire neat neat stuff and all. trained me to be a much more open person and i got chance to do many cool stuff and attend cool events that i dont think many are able to. i get to learn skills and stuff, really really memorable experience in council. but i cant wait to step down and be free. once more. yay!
STUDIES
1. i can honestly say i didnt put in much effort to study this yr.
2. i tried to chiong studying when it was so near so near the exams and i study the night before tests.
3. i haven pass amaths at all this year.
4. i only passed emath twice this year.
5. my studies dropped so much so much compared to the years before and i only started to work hard near the end only to realise it was too late.
6. i had a total of 18 consultations in one month before the amaths paper.
know something? o's next year. i better buck up and study. and i better focus on studying man. since i'll be free from council in march (which is a good thing) and i'll be free from i&e in march (which is a bad thing). march to october. a long long struggle of studies. -groans-

Feliz NavidadFeliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicidad
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D well, nowadays been hearing this phrase, "the true spirit of christmas". what's the "the true spirit of christmas" man. some say it's bonding, some say it's sharing, some say it's giving and blah. haha i think for me this yr my "true spirit of christmas" would be spending time with my loved ones. my christmas had been quite special this yr i guess. my aunt just came back form shanghai! hahaha just for the christmas break. 1 week later she's gonna go back and the next time im gonna see her is gonna be chinese new year. yea. so me and my sis picked her up from the airport. whoo!
christmas eve had been awesome! had loads of fun trying out the games tt enterprise bought and scotland yard didnt turn out to be THAT fun afterall. well, the last time i played it was good! but now, nahh. hahaha uncle named it the "wild goose chase". christmas mass was awesome too! (: i love high masses. (: rciy sat 1 pew in front of me, my sis, aunt and uncle. stephy was being as cute as ever. (: i was so entertained during mass, since the choir nearly made me sleep. haha. received loads of gifts from the everyone. thanks guys! hahaha. really, it's the thought that counts. though i really dunno what im gonna do with all the gifts given to me since i have no use for them, but yea they'll remain in my room no matter what. hehe. gave out mars balls to everyone. though small compared to their big big wrapped gifts, i guess it's the thought that counts too! :D hehee. pathatic mars balls. oh well.
mass ended quite late. i love staying out at night! hahaha. nono i love staying out in the morning. well there's really this xmas atmosphere all around. quite cool. slept for only a few hours, woke up and went for macs breakfast downstairs. was feeling this festive mood all around. and i just had to happily get high, come home and continue listening to christmas songs. WHEE! (:
oh well, registration day, found out tt cai xing lin is actually coming to my sch. gosh. cai xing fang's sister. end of my days of freedom. now the whole world will know what the heck im doing in sch. well, if u wanna know just ask me why. but yea, anw im supposed to bring her to sch on the 1st day like okayyyy. waaaanita clone! better come and entertain me on the way also please! haha.
next yr's gonna be a real busy year ahead. dedication ceremony's on 5th jan, morning assembly. gosh. tt's only the 3rd day of school! how can! so early. and orientation + campfire + dedication ceremony all end by 5th jan. everything ends in the 1st 3 days of sch. wow how crammed. oh did i mention, I GET TO PIN BADGE THIS YEAR! haha happy and sad. happy cuz we are now finally the lao da of the sch, can do whatever we want. and sad cuz we are about to leave soon. and sec4 means i gotta fight the bad guy o'. sucks. nvm, i shall make the most out of the time i spend the happiest in. by march, let us, the i&e comm, accomplish the impossible, leave a lasting legacy and step down in peace. yeah. and i'll study hard for o's and earn the chocolate buffet treat. hoho.
well, i think im a very fickle minded person. when i spend more time with one and get to like bond more laugh more with one person, i tend to miss the other for a while, before kinddaf "forgetting" the other person. but when i spend loads of time with the other, i will start missing the 1st one. and soon "forgetting". but when i see both walking around, im reminded that hey. this is what u want to be. and im reminded that at least someone cares and there's always people that i can turn to in school. hahaha having 2 __________ is good! anw. i better stop this infactuation turning into obsession thingy and concentrate on my studies! close friends will know what im talking bout so yeah. please try and persuade me whenever i mention bout them. either that or ignore me. thank you. (: hopefully i'll still be able to keep in touch with the both of them even after i graduate. cuz i still owe someone + someone's close one a treat and some other person owe me a treat! so yeah. how can we lose touch?
anyway, merry christmas!
this song was sung inpromptuly at mass by fr adrian. and i think it's quite cool.
"I Wish You Jesus" by Scott Wesley Brown
I could wish you joy and peace.
To last a whole life long.
I could wish you sunshine.
Or a cheerful little song
Or wish you all the happiness.
That this life could bring.
But I wish You Jesus, more than anything.
I could wish you leaves of gold.
And may your path be smooth.
I could wish you treasures.
Or that all your dreams come true.
And I could wish you paradise.
That every day be spring.
But I wish You Jesus, more than anything.
'Cause when I wish you Jesus,
I've wished you everything.

| Xmas Stocking | |||||||||
|
yay! the xmas stocking i saw on dee's livejournal. anw, settlers on tuesday with i&e comm was simply fun. well though a little disappointing (i shant elaborate why) and a little draggy, i just simply enjoyed the company! gosh, we should have more such outing often, well, not worked based but simply bonding based! haha have i said i love i&e? well, i love i&e LOADS. :D it's gonna be quite hard for me to take it when we step down 3 months later. imagine me not rushing round hurrying people to do stuff and not doing stuff for i&e and no more running errands for mt but just purely studying till the o's. oh my. kill me please. =/ and my homework's waiting for me to go on a date with it. well seriously it's the most disgusting fellow i've ever met man. get off my back you idiot! how i wish i can just throw u in the bin. grrrrrrr. dont even see the point of doing hw when the teachers are happily enjoying their hols and at the most just put a chop there that says "checked". well, happened to me in sec1 when i did like shit. this sucks man. i got official homework phobia. shoo homework shooo! aunt's coming back this week. yay! (: gonna do all my hw before she comes back so i can play like nobody's business. well, unlikely but i guess i'll try.
9:56 pm, Monday, December 18, 2006
hello dearies. im back from bangkok! (:this trip had been quite eggciting well cause particially i've turned into a shopaholic this yr. haha. when i went last yr i was like half dead cuz i think walking around and buying stuff is plain tiring but no. this yr had been superly great! just walked round and round bargaining and stuff. quite interesting. well, cultural shock, the people there can speak english! haha. they even had this car decal on like almost every car which says "I [heart shape] farangs (our version of angmohs)! we can speak english" hahahaha super hilarious.
anyway, it made me really happy that im spending money at a really fast speed (especially when it iznt mine). haha did i say that i love spending money that iznt mine? first it was the boardgames things. whooooo man! and now thailand. well, the biggest record, spending 120 bucks buying around 10+ items in 1 day. bought pokpok like the most stuff cuz she told me soooo many things to get. and now she owes me a gelare treat. hah!
well her blog post made me think bout my purpose in life. like wth am i here for. maybe i should start getting more in touch with my spiritual self. haha. missed mass last sun, 3rd sun of advent. poootsie. :( hoho xmas this yr will be so much of shopping for gifts, sending xmas cards, going for mass, bonding with my aunt, bonding with friends and praying hard that sch doesnt start so soon (well it's totally impossible lah but gahhh) maybe the sch building will collapse tonight.
-wishwish-
tomorrow settlers with enterprise + outing with rciy. gosh. clash again. dont feel like going for an tmr. haha im a lazy pig. and someone out there still owes me max brenner + luge + skyride! (: maybe if im lucky i can convince her to get me gelare too. hahahaha :D
-a road to anywhere in life is a road to nowhere

11:47 am, Monday, December 11, 2006
it's been 5 days since camp ended and i guess im still missing it afterall. =/I MISS CAMP! D:
loooking at my previous post and the folders containing all the pics simply make me laugh. i guess things wont be the same after the camp anymore. stepping down date draws nearer and nearer, and as sec4 arrives we'd be caught up with all the acadamics blah blah blah. come to think of it, camp's the only time that we can really bond. no time to do so much of i&e stuff when sch starts. hahaha.
outing with mt, pokpok, yasmin and jim was superly awesome on saturday. i always have this urge to ask jim "hey jim. go gym?" HAHA but pokpok and yas thinks its stupid so i didnt ask. common pokpok! he does have the looks okays! sense of humour definitely there. and ya la quite a good catch i must say. it's feels extreamly shiok to be spending hundreds of dollars that iznt mine. HAHA. spent like tons at toy r'us and kino and borders. and games nowadays arent cheap man. well, all these are for the next project launching next yr. what is it? i cant tell youuu! but it's 100% gurenteed fun fun FUN. just hope that everything will turn out successfully and that well, hopefully the next batch wont screw things up. afterall, we can only be part of this project till march. :( well, come to think of it, i dont think any of us comm would mind if you call us back and name us "advisor" know.
so everything on saturday was fun fun fun! saw things that i dont think we are supposed to see. pokpok keep urging me to "quick look away!" but i keep taking small peeeks. heard a lot of things that we weren't supposed to hear as well. oh and im now the official "ANYTHING woman" which turns out to be not THAT anything afterall. we spent 1/2h trying to decide what to eat for dinner, since yas had to go home alrdy. well, the anything woman hereby delares, no fast food, no seoul garden, no this no that. den they will ask "den what do u want?" and i'll be "oh anything. all also can" HAHA wth right. so we ended up with billy bombers. after we kicked swensens and ding tai fung off the list cuz the queue was madness. HAHA. billy bombers was great. :D well i must say this is the 1st time i bonded like quite not bad with jim. he actually forgot me from last yr until the same scene happened this yr again. HAHA.
oooh and we made a pact with him and mt. that in 10 years time, we'll meet again and he'll treat me and pokpok to dinner or smth. and he wants to see how we turn out to be like. so there, jim owes me a treat in 10 years time. 9 december 2015 be sure to remind me to meet him! but in the not so near future first, me and pokpok owe jim 1 treat and we owe mt 2 treats. while mt owe me 1 max brenner's treat. yeah xD so that means we will still be able to meet up in the near future i guess. really really hope that we wont lose touch in the 10 years to come. haha 10 years is like so near yet so far kinddaf thing. i will never ever forget mt, well long story but yea. she's the closest teacher i ever know in my whole life so far. never before was any teacher like her please. which teacher would treat you to sooo many meals in a short period of just a year?!?! marche, garlic restaurant, max brenner, gelare, billy bombers and the soon to come max brenner and 2 treat that we owe her and the one to come in 10 years. me and pok will try our best to keep in touch with her man. hahahaha hopefully in 10 years someone wont be filled with white hair and saggy boobs. and jim's sense of humour will still be there. pok ah! glam up! HAHA.
pokpok and jim were talking bout universities and stuff and it made me think about what im gonna study in the years to come. well, overseas is definitely not an option. if i can study in singapore den why not? unless i get some scholarship to oxford or cambridge or princeton or smth den i wont mind. guess most prob i'm gonna study real real real real hard after march when i settle down with enterprise at the back of my head. dont worry, i&e will forever be in my heart. just not so much in my brain from march till the o levels. really really hope to come back to i&e when i go to jc. we can come back and help out and be the "advisor" HAHA. quite cool come to think of it. im gonna study hard and get my below 10 points o level score and then more choices will be open to me. i can go to poly and study mass comm or chinese studies just like bertha, or go to jc arts stream den to uni and study chinese studies or psycology or philosophy. or some weird subject that can give me my degree. and i'll end up being a teacher. haha. teacher's the end of the road, but the start of a brand new journey. go around inspiring kids quite cool huh! so yeah. 1 thing for sure, i wont "liang ma lu" -inside joke HAHA.
please dril this into your head pearlyn: someone owes u a treat on 9.12.2015. i better set my phone alarm to remind me of that day. HAHA. what rubbish xD
enterprise's my life. i'll never ever let it go. it'd given me the best memories ever in all my 15 years. <3 every single thing. good or bad. even all the stress are worth it. wow my term in enterprise, 14 months. my term in enterprise comm, 9 months. this must have been the shortest in enterprise history man. but we must have been the best comm ever around. (: im loving every single thing that gotta do with i&e. it's my life.
1:05 pm, Sunday, December 10, 2006
lne = I
ine = 1 (amath) 1 = bonded. i&e wishes to bond just like ine in this uberly fun fun fun camp. therefore *drumroll* lne = I! may I&E = 1
heyhey! im back from enterprise camp. well, didnt really felt like leaving cause we were so bonded alrdy. had a lot a lot a lot A LOT of fun with all the mad kids, running around the school at 3am in the morning and trying not to sleep but slept in the end for 1/2h. -.- very very very glad that all the hard work that the comm put in had paid off in the end cause i believe that everyone had so much fun that their brains cannot process the amount cause it'd overload. although the attendance for this camp was super shitty due to some people who are simply uncommitted enough and would bull all sorts of excuses to pon camp and we were left with only 13 kids and 2 teachers in the end, we still had a lot of fun in the end. wheeeeeeee!
DAY 1 so the camp started off quite ordinarily, had this workshop by mark gabriel on public speaking. haha he was sourced out by me and i was quite surprised actually that they actually do conduct workshops for such a pathatic no of people. lol. i was very entertained during the whole thing lah! he managed to keep me awake for like 4 whole hours straight can. amazing. not to mention that i simply love the "chickens on the farm" which consist of yasmin, ruiqi, carrina. hahahaha we did the funky chicken song as a bonus performance can. and stupid cows simply love to convince the "farmer" to kill us. HAHA thanks to our "oh-so-adorable" feathery bodies doing the dance the "farmer" decided to go vegetarian. hurhur you cows and pigs and sheeps didnt entertain us chickens!
lunch was average. haha we had catered food from the malay stall in the canteen. and then it was time to prepare games for the next half of the day while the rest just lazed around and eat their food. so, we played weird games like the change name game which was simply funny. well, throughout the whole camp we all used my winnie the pooh poker cards which were 5rmb equivilent to 1 sing. yeah and a few cards from the deck went missing D: change name game. haha at first it was just your usual name and u gotta react when the other person has the same card as you. but it soon got more confusing when it was taking the person's name to your right. so in the end. i was jessica. HAHA. super hilarious. and the next ice breaker game we played was mr hippo travel round the world. haha they didnt seem to get the idea though. and it's either that or we're too innovative, cuz we took like freakin long at nacli to solve it that we can actually form 2 circles, but this time, i&e thought of the 2 circle thing at the first try. SIGH. and in the end had lotsa time left to kill.
the "change name" game!
mr hippo travel round the world!
haha so we started the camp briefing and the angel mortal game. woooosh! i/c for angel mortal game: pearlyn. fairy (distribute letters i/c): yuqi carrina. my mortal was michelle. hahaaa. and to think she was the one who went with me to marina square for a shopping spree to source out what to buy for our mortals. and she was saying that if my mortal turns out to be mr keong, i can give the panty to her for xmas present! afterall, it's her size! haha i was so so glad it was michelle. but it's like so cool lah! coincidence. haha so i decided to be a very mean tissue monster and write to michelle on tissue paper. "the tissue monster attacks!" HAHA super hilarious. she happily assume it's wilin cuz wilin borrowed tissue paper from her earlier on that day. HAHA (: i love michelle!
camp briefing! when we get serious, we get serious. when we play, we are mad people.
next up: 100 second challenge. omg that was seriously the "hardest" task ever. haha also another game picked up from nacli by pokpok and i. so we had 7 stations with 2 group. the group gotta complete the task properly if fail den gotta restart. the test of patience man. so, we splitted into 2 groups, with ms tan, wilin, huizhen, brenda, pokpok, me being in 1 group and mr keong, yan ping, limin, jessica, ruiqi, carrina being in the other. 1st stop: skipping on the floor while saying "Crescent Innovation and Enterprise Club year-end camp two thousand and six. The theme for this camp is lne=I. We plan to foster strong bonds between clubbers. We would have a fun time here". This stop was the easiest cuz we just passed it in a breeze. next was using a string to bring a ball to the other side. next was bowling. omg this stop sucks cause i cant seem to hit 1 pin down. always left with this super annoying pin down there. had to make my group try so many times. sorry! after that was wear and eat. hahahaa i love that stop. 2 ppl had to wear my pyjamas and eat tom yum noodles. not to forget that the pyjamas had loadsa buttons. (: and after that, gotta blow this ping pong ball from one plastic container filled with water to another. tedious but fun. wilin rocks at blowing this. HAHA. and after that we had this yes no question thing. so. if your answer is yes, u are supposed to say yes while shaking your head. and if the answer is no, u are supposed to say no while nodding your head. hard eh? and finally, to find the mentos hidden in this bag of flour. CRISIS. we forgot to bring flour. me and yasmin had to run all the way to mobil to get it. and mobil doesnt sell flour. remember that. neither does it sell sugar. it only sells salt. so the ingeious me thought of getting coffee powder but since it's more of a luxuary huh we decided to get cereal. HAHAAA. gosh it was super funny seeing limin and wilin brushing off the cereal with their chins to find the mentos. i love love enterprise to bits and pieces.
jessica skipping and saying "Crescent Innovation and Enterprise Club year-end camp two thousand and six. The theme for this camp is lne=I. We plan to foster strong bonds between clubbers. We would have a fun time here"

soon.. we had to change and we headed off to 23 lorong mambong this restaurant called al something. for lebanese cusine. and amanda joined in half way. haha the dates juice tasted weird and the wrap was good but the rice is not to be eaten with spoon so u see everyone using fork to scoop instead. and the garlic sauce was horrigible. haha. cam whored at the restaurant and me and pokpok got a shirt! her's was blue and mine was orange. had a zebra in the center and it says marathon. my mum said it wasnt worth $23 cuz it looks like its only 100 bhat from thailand. -.-
group photo at restaurant! pls dont mind the lights. hahaa. camera just had to screw up at that time.
back to sch next! haha. it was pitch dark i guess. not exactly but still about the same. sec 1s were screaming like shit cuz it was pitch black. haha cant blame them cuz when i was sec1 at council camp i was scared like shit too, but since it's my 2nd time so i guess i became braver afterall. haha had to be the 1st one to walk down the corridor to on the lights as we walked past and everyone screamed like shit when they saw mt trying to open the staff room dooor cuz she was wearing a white top and it reflected light. HAHA. and some light flickered and stuff and everyone screamed -.- like er okays. HAHA.
reflections next. talked bout what we learned and the usp of the shop that we picked at holland v. everyone seems so solemn lah! -refer to pics below. and guess what. that night i received the 1st letter from my angel. haha she was so freakin obvious please. cant even fake handwriting. tsktsk. the 1st thing i saw was "miss pearlyn neo" and i immediately knew who it was. EVIL POK. (: one of the tom yum sisters. yeah so i started screaming around that omg omg _____'s my angel omg omg. and i nearly wanted to die cuz it wasnt fun anymore. i wanted her to be my mortal so i can give her the thong u seee!
pokpok the cam whore. everyone's so "reflectiony" and she happily taking photo. HAHA.
next next was bath time. haha again, sec1s scared like shit to go to the gblock to bathe. so 5 of them had to be excorted by mt and yuqi and carrina to the toilet to bathe and excorted back. haha sec1s so cute! so me mich pokpok and yasmin decided not to waste time and queue for toilet. instead, we went to exercise and burn fats. hahaaa. ran round the parade square around 25 times and did crunches and situps and this plank exercise that yaz thought of that wuld reduce tummy fats. haha. and many amny squats. and we continued running again. i love my exercise company! we shall go run the standard charted marathon and new paper big walk. hahaha. so we went to bathe.
me and mich bathe 1st and yas and pok waited outside. i walked in the toilet naked can! cuz this toilet that i went into cant work and i happily took out my clothes before realising it. so pok and yas had to hide in 1 corner while i quickly ran to the other toilet. malu eh! took photos of our paul twohill imitation hairstyle and acted hip and funkay in the toilet. wheeeeee!
mich twohill!
pear onehill!
after that we went back to play some card game and drink hot chocolate. pokpok and mich had to do their stuff but i happily went along and the comm + mt in the end decided to do some serious talking. haha that was my 1st ever encounter with the swing. i love the swing! so that night i was the last to sleep and the 1st to wake the next day. i wonder who's alarm keep beeeping non stop in the middle of the night. slept like only 10min that day. hahahaa.
pigs alert!
DAY 2 next day was the 1st to wake up. quite hyper and stuff. was still jumpy and everything. hahahaha tooo bad im simply a hyperactive kid. (: brush teeth lalala and went to take a bus to harbourfront center for breakfast and go to sentosa after that. phew luckily everyone around reminded me to bring my clues if not i'd have forgotten and we wouldnt play any amazing race anymore. bet everyone'd kill be if that happens. haha. anw. me and mich were supposed to get luge tix before everyone else when they are eating breakfast. but luckily michy wichy was smart and realised that luge actually opens at 10. and luckily our race started at 9.45 so the mr keong's group which had luge as 1st station only had to wait for 15min. sorry! groupings stayed the same. so it's mr keong, yanping, limin, jessica. this time the comm member following their group and giving out the clue after every station is ruiqi and yasmin. both known as the stalkers :D and the other group consisted of ms tan, wilin, brenda, huizhen and me and michy were the stalkers :D
lemme tell you the route for my group. please ignore my grandmother story if it really gets too draggy. :P 1st stop: The Southernmost Point of Continential Asia. Task there? to climb the vertical tower 5 times. up + down considered 1 time. HAHA. 1st try quite sucky cant make it. den luckily the group was resourceful enough and thought of getting this guy from the Singapore Sports Council to help climb. so all 5 of them climbed the tower at one shot and took only 69 seconds. way below the 90 seconds timing. way to go! i was the camera man as usual. here presenting you the photos:
the "unclimable" tower which everyone had to climb
video of group coming down tower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV1SC40Aq-U
next stop: group had to put together this puzzle that wuld lead them to the next stop. mt's 1st guess was the musical fountain but she thought it's under renovation and they started to think of some other places. haha never would they realise that their instincts are actually the most accurate clues! so they seeked the hints and hahahaha bangbang! it's the musical fountain! so they had to put up a performance there and get a couple to clap before they can continue. but crisis! there wasn't a single stranger in sight. gahhhh. so me and mich got "convinced" into becoming the strangers. i think it's more like being forced huh michy! (: performance was super hilarious. you should see it man.
working together to figure out the next clue
to watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MHXP7quPfc
next: another puzzle to piece! this time it leads to the images of singapore. and they guessed it correctly so quite safe lah. task there: use $5 to take photo with a snake, hahahaha. wilin and huizhen ended up being the brave ones and took a photo with the snake. video down there, enjoy! hahahahah great material for blackmailing huh. ;D
wilin look so brave huh!
video of the 2 brave ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqGzOPFMtyk
The merlion walk was next. boy that was tough. clue just had the word perth with a arrow and some numbers showing the no of km that would lead you there. no one had a single clue where the heck was that place. asked like 2347234627 people and me and michy were sick of walking in the wrong direction. hahahaha. they finally reached and had to do this indian dance. super hilarious too. thanks to our ingenious ideas :D so it was at this place, the merlion walk where they had to do the dance and they met with the other group! ahhhhh! stupid mr keong's group keep tagging alone whereever we went and we led them to the lunch place. hurhur. nvm we ran on sand they took the tram and we ended up earlier too. yay! (:

lunch time was next. crisis! food person: yuexi pok wasnt there yet. hahaha had to stall time lah! so lunch comm improvised and made the groups play this knowledge action game. super funny as well. one of the tasks for my group: get at least 5 people to laugh. their plan? go round asking people "this is how we laugh *HAHAHA*. how do you laugh?" OMG i swear it was damn retarded. and yet ppl actually did it HAHAHA. i love the gang for making me have sooo much fun that day. wheeee! so we had sandwiches for lunch and blah and before we knew it, it was time to go again!
walking to the lunch destination
next stop: orchid garden. hahaha supposed to identify the 5 orchids in that garden and okay lah i give the group credit for really spending sooo much time and effort searching for the name of the orchid. but guess what. that was just a trick station! hahahah we didnt even have the answers. so i happily folded up the paper and gave them the next clue. lol! it was simply a test of teamwork and resourcefulness and stuff to make sure that they actually worked together. hahaha we are so mean huh. :D
haha wth michelle!
finally, the fun we had been waiting for. the LUGE and SKYRIDE! had a free ride okays. so michy had islander card and we had a discounted price of $5. gosh i simply love the luge. it's just like daytona go kart but real life. and i was racing with wilin and mich. hahahaha. super goood! photos were hilarious tooo. skyride was just simply fun fun fun! im still suffering from skyide redrawal syndrom now. the swing in the staffroom shall be my temporary skyride. *tooot toot tooot tooot tooot* -plonks butt onto seat- HAHAHAHA inside joke. ask me if you want. i love the staff room swing for sure. and im sure im not the only one who got addicted with playing with the swing! (: camwhored like mad on the skyride. me, mich, mt shared one chair. we took photos together, took photos of wilin, brenda, huizhen behind, take photos of our legs stepping on people playing luge down there, take pics of us stepping on ppl walking on the road, screamed down "hey wassap!" to guys walking happily on the road. HAHAHAA. went totally mad.

underwater world was next. clue: to pour water into this envelope containing a fish. haha super cute lah please! i love this clue. they had to draw this underwater world logo and dolphin lagoon logo and get ppl to guess before proceeding. seriously mt cant draw for nuts. u can know why just by scrolling down a bit more.
2nd last stop: butterfly park. simplest activity in the whole race man. just gotta talk to strangers bout how they find singapore and what they did today. -.- hahahahaha.
last stop! chiong ah! the lost civillisation. clue: survivor ringtone and mich lighting a match, blowing it out and saying "the tribe has spoken" we reached 1st yay! took group photo blah blah and in the end decided that the lost civillisation was a gd place to feed mosquitoes so we moved to the ferry terminal instead where i continued to be high and insisted that ppl play game with me. HAHA. black sheep white sheep grey sheep, pepsi cola, blind mice. OMG totally went siao.
stalkers + the group (: simply love them all.
me pokpok and sec1s!
running positions! mich pokpok me!
finally the other group arrived. 50min later. we stalkers did out the point system and stuff and throughly enjoyed ourselves. yay! took a wrong bus the green line, and went round in a loop, wasted 15min before realising that we are on the wrong bus! haha bet the bus uncle who's supposed to drive us back to sch was totally pissed.
bbq food arrived before we knew it. thanks mr m for paying 1st! so we happily brought everything to the study pavillion and got ready for bbq once we came down from the bus. seriously shiong day. who knows, halfway thru it decided to have thunder and stuff. and we cant find aluminium trays. so me and wilin went to dawson place to get trays. saw 111 and was about to board the bus bfore we realised we didnt bring our ezlink card. only had like 2 $10 notes borrowed one summore! tsk. tried to get a cab but it was super hard. so in the end we gave up and walked there. in the rain. sobs. bought the trays and stuff and it poured even heavier when we got back lah! so hurried to the canteen and started the fire. had to find bricks to support the tray if not acc to mr keong, the whole canteen wuld burn. so we had everything and stuff and basically we couldnt do much anymore except to fan the thing. haha. it was like how many light years that i fanned the thing before the sec4s came. yay sec4s! jingyi, yifang, yuting, kailing, aizhen. haha. although the sec4 turnout sucked too but nvm we had loads of fun nevertheless! took a lot a lot of photos, bbq like what seemed 100 marshmellows and ate quite a bit of food. and some people seriously pissed me off damn damn badly during bbq night. but im not gonna let this spoil my mood huh. (: surprisingly, yuqi carrina and wilin were talking bout it too. HAHA bitches unite. gosh. she push me a bit more i'll flare. but im glad i managed to control myself and didnt. love my watergun. help me cool down. (: common let the pictures do all the talking.

next, was sec4 farewell and chair and vice-chair speech. HAHA. pokpok look cool and her speech and photo was amusing. applause for the braveness! and mr josef came back! we gave him cookies and mich and yas designed this tissue paper flavour of the month thing. really really egggciting. i miss mr josef! okay not really. i miss his lame jokes at least. lol.
pokpok making her chairman speech
group pic! smile the mr josef smile! say CHEEEEEEEEESE!
omg seriously what happened next was kinddaf unplanned. all thanks to pokpok's plastic bags, we played water bomb at like 1am in the parade square! this scissors paper stone game, had to run around and throw bomb at the losing person. and in the end my group lost lah! so kana whacked by water bomb. hahaha. i happily hid mt's slippers in the midst of all the fun and we filled a whole pail of water. people grabber her and me and yuqi splash the whole pail on her. omg. she was wet from head to toe. damn amusing! sadly there iznt any photo cuz we were too busy spraying water. best. after that i happily found a whole box of ice. so put it down people's back and stuff. EGGGCITING. i love love love the company that night!
acting like small kids playing bubbles in the middle of the night. WHEE!
i dunno why but everytime i go for camp, there's bound to be some accident that's gonna happen. last yr was me breaking a bed. and this yr i was happily rolling on the floor due to too much laughter while playing ice, and everyone was attacking me putting ice inside my pants and stuff like wth. haha anw. i scratched michy's lips without knowing how i did it. haha. went to the staffroom to get sugar to put on the lips and i got high with the swing! hahahaa. reminds me of the skyride at sentosa. me and mt went siao trying to act out the whole scene again. *toot toot toot toot toot *-plonks butt on seat. den she had to happily join in. so it became *toot toot toot toot toot * -plonks 2 butts on seat. HAHAHAHAHAA. i love the swing! and yes, we are indeed 5 year old trapped in a 15 year old /29 year old body. tsktsk. another catch phrase started by mr josef on the bbq day. HAHA.
after that went to secret toilet to shower. woooohooo! damn shiok. and everyone had to wait for us. sorry! cuz we promised to meet them to play games but we went like 45min late. and i should be around 4am by then. haha. so we played polar bear. many many many rounds of polar bear. and after that i was forced to pole dance. no mood to dance that night was quite high with the swing alrdy and my highness was gone. so fine lor. sorrry! i'll pole dance again some day. (shit hopefully no one sees this). spent my night writing letters to everyone. well, almost! since some i fell asleep while writing. mt had to sleep in a weird weird position that in the end i had no place to sleep lah! so i slept on the table instead. slept for 15min?! den it was time to wake up. grrr.
posing with the occasional moodswinging tigress. UNGLAM! haha :D
DAY 3 next day, nothing much basically, prepared breakfast and tried to wake people up. haha oh i only slept like 10min the day before btw. last to sleep, 1st to wake up. had a hard time waking mt up. sec1s were hard to wake as well. for mt, poking doesnt work, shaking doesnt work. 1 successful way of waking her up: put a cat softtoy in front of her face and whisper in her ear "meow meow meow" she open eyes, see cat, scream! and yes, she's finally awake. went to heat up breafast while the rest packed up. den ate breakfast, did reflections and stuff and we went to reveal the angel and mortal game. so my mortal's michy wichy! hahahaha. gave her a pair of thongs that she chose for herself. (irony huh!) and my angel was mt. gosh. was totally her i could guess. and she broke my present. D: it was a windchime. phew luckily i didt get it cuz i wont know where to put anw. so guess what. she got me leftover bread instead. how nice huh! what a great gift. and i was whining like mad before i decided to pass it to the cleaners instead. now someone owes me something and a max brenner's treat from a long long long time ago. YAY! (:
the tissue monster and mortal michelle and the thongs that she specially chose for "my mortal". love mich to bits and pieces! :D
me and my angel, ms tan and the leftover bread! i'll never ever forget her. loves :D
after that me and yx got bored so we stayed in the staff room and help do accounts and paste paper. i suck at finding transection number man. so we realised we had extra $$ left and we thought of a super super brillent plan for next yr. hopefully this time the idea will work eh and we will see crowds coming to us. will tell u more in the next post.
well, really learnt a lot during enterprise camp. i simply love everyone that "made it happen" and made it a success. thanks for all the laughter and all the madness and all the things that made me HIGH. love love love you guys to bits and pieces! i love love love love love love love i&e esp pokpok mich and yazzzz. haha they made my day a lot a lot during camp. and i must say, we could have just been the most bonded commm every in entire enterprise history! way to go!
