Today i just started the day. . . yesh.. with driving! i am seriously tired. but i had to drive to improve my driving. yea.. so drove my family around the whole day today. I woke up pretty late. when i got through to lyon, she was already outside doing her carnival stuff. wanted to help. cause tt's wat's we talked about yest. but i know she got her own reasons. yea.. anything u need help, no need to be paiseh. can just tell me =D
I think my driving skills improved bit. At least i don't stammer anymore. Hmm.. i still tend to step on the gas bit harder than others, but i guess that can be improved. ha.. Just felt good to have the opportunity to drive again. though its tiring.. =X
gonna go back to school next wednesday. First day of school. This sem will be no different. i am going to do well!
Did afew things.. well in the morning i had to wake up early to go rent the vehicle for use in the later part of the day. I guess i am not conditioned to wake up early these days. Just felt really goggy(Sp mistake?) yea.. and just felt like going back to sleep. But hey, i went ahead. haha.
took my fav bus 966 down to the friendly heartlands of Eunos! super love that place, cause this bus goes direct to that place from my place, and i have sooo many memories of army, some to daughter's place and yea. it was great, know tt place pretty well. (MRT SIDE ONLY..) ha.. From there we took a bus to Ubi industrial estate where the car rental shop is! We rented a Kembari 1000cc. Pretty small vehicle in compared to what i used to be driving last time? ha.. it was so good. ha.. cause its small, and easy to park! ha.. dad gave me an orientation, and i was ready to go. sent dad to whitley road (near orchard) to take a bus to work cause he was running late, and drove mum back home. that was where all the whole 'lost' saga started! I missed the PIE(Tuas) exit and yea! super sian. ha. went down the expressway to Toa Payoh. haha. was lost awhile there, and finally got out of the mix at 1 plus. Reached home at 215pm. Mum made it on time for work. Though she was feeling bit of headache due to my 'good' driving skills. ha.. Then i persuaded my bro to come along with me, to go down to vivo, to pick up the 3 of them. Lyon, Jasmine and Dorothy. Yeap.. was lost again~ hit the expressway above West Coast highway. si bei sian.. cause getting lost is .. well.. sian! haha.. but with my bro's guide, we got out of the whole thing. ha.. he was such a great help yest =) couldn't thank him more. and his map skills improved i guess! =P No doubt a Win-Win situation for me and my bro. ha.. The girls bought stuff at afew stops, and also visited the CC.
Aft tt, send them home, Lyon was late for her dad's birthday dinner. Oh ya, then got back home, rested will 12 plus. b4 i started to do some work. ha.. Lyon if need daddy's help just tell me yea =)
alright, gotta go do some stuff already. shit.. tml meeting my manager for my weekly Monday meetings. And i have no sale yet! haha.. die la.
Just one comment to start: Lyon u are seriously busy la.. haha. do take care of ur health. Can tell mervin to do more stuff in this time. no need to everything u da(do). U're a chairman, not a one man show? Don't wanna see ya because of all these get so sick. headache and all . BUT, nonetheless, jia you! Nomatter wat decision u make, daddy will be here for u.
Today went to discuss some issues regarding Share-On team. And then had to babysit Jackson! bring him to yishun to have lunch at LJS, then after tt went to catch a movie at 420pm at the cinema there. watched "The Incredible Hulk". Then went to Fuchun Primary school(Jackson's school) to attend their carnival, "Embracing the Arts." well there were chi dance, malayu dance, bollywood shakes, bands noise and choirs screams.. yea. it was good =) The main idea of me gg there? --> TO SHOW FACE! GET PPL TO KNOW ME AS THE SHARE-ON WELFARE ORGANIZATION SECRETARY. Yea.. and yes did we do tt.. Met alot of vvip.. and stuff. It was a good day.
nonetheless.. was feeling moody. i do know wat made me felt tt way, but yea. not gg to spill it all out. shall just lay it down and forget about it. hopefully tml will be better. well, at least aft i reached hm, i kicked the poor sandbag all i wanted b4 bathing. good work out. but didn't work. i am still feeling moody. so dun piss me off now! haha.. no worries. its a one off thing.
It was fun talking to the mirror. haha.. sounds kok but haha.. I think sometimes it helps to build confidence. If i can't convince the other person in the mirror(which is myself), i will not be able to face the many many others during my presentation. I think it builds positive feelings too? =D u keep repeating some positive statement. usually, it works wonders! As in i will feel better for the day, that moment. It usually last quite awhile. haha.. So when the effects withers off, just do it again? haha..
Ps: Today was a non-eventful day, practically was at home all day doing nothing.. but reading. Am feeling si bei demoralised.
i just did alot of hibernating on my v comfortable bed.. and well.. slack!!! haha.. read alot of newsweek, thats the only acheivement i did today. other than that, i was just slacking today.. haha.. Well, its alittle consolation to the hectic week i had for the last week. Though i gotta agree that i am not getting any headway in my insurance work. i suck at sales stuff luh. but i am determine to work harder! Lyon will be starting school as well as everyone, haha.. Guess its a wake up call for me! Did something really weird in the toilet after i bathe just now. I remember the instructor in my training class for this line once said that self motivation is key in this business because its a people biz and a rejection biz. One of the things he recommended was to talk to the mirror. Haha.. Well i tried! Just looked at the mirror and said i am going to work hard these next 6 months, seeing 2 clients per day! Earning 32k this year to cover my school fees! haha.. thats was what i said. At first, i said it with a monotone, then i repeated it, sounds so weird too, and it tried to say it with more Conviction! haha.. it sounds good, i smiled to myself, and yea, felt more confident! Bet Miao Xian will say i am a "Guai Bei Bei" after reading this. haha..
Lyon just went to rest, woa ho ho.. its like so late now.. 1am! okok, i am feeling energetic and really fresh now, bit siao siao too.. ha.. will go on and do my stuff now! ha.. Oh ya, on the top of my to do list now? To read up the documents that NCSS(National Council Of Social Services) had given us(Share-On Welfare Organization) during the past meeting with them! Its really a challenge! haha.. Maybe thats y i am not cut to be a lawyer! haha.. those documents are seriously wordy! I mean seriously wordy! ... Chapter 47 of Charity Act bla bla bla.. states that bla bla bla.. When the geeze of it is that this is an act written by who and who to address wat problem.. super chim.. but hey, its a challenge that Share-On team needs to conquer if we are gg to get our funding to build a premises to better serve the needy families under our direct care.. JIAYOU PENG YONG!!
Haha..
Jia you everyone that is gg to school tml! haha.. Sounds like a mad rush for u guys today! haha.. talked to afew ppl and they said the same thing.. working on hw!! haha.. And of cuz, jia you daughter!!
It was another day where i had opportunity to nap! haha.. Think come Monday i will be working my arse off again! haha.. But it feels good to slack once inawhile. But not all the time =P This past week, i have been busy going to office, trying to get myself going in my new work, and also spending a substantial amount of my time each day to work on volunteering related work. haha.. i guess i am at last forcing myself to work hard in whatever i have set out to! haha.. i mean i have been trying but not consistently! haha.. no problem! i am on my way!
Oh ya, i'll talk a bit about yesterday. Woke up late again! Immediately waking up, i do wat i do everyday, and rushed to my office, cause today is the unit's meeting! haha.. and there is going to be introduction of the rookies! haha.. yes i am one of them! it feels so good to receive applauds!! Was told to do an introduction and stuff. After all that fan-fare, i went ahead to what i had in mind, the MAIN EVENT for the whole day! Went to Sundac CCK! haha.. Whenever i am at a home, i am a really different person? haha.. naturally, my smiles and enthusiasm and all that i wanted to be is back, because i know that if i am cheerful, they will be cheerful =) Thats the power of positive feeling? it resonate to everyone, because everyone has that innate wavelength that is called smile! haha.. I was there to talk to the good people there, social worker-shannon, Executive Director- Mrs Tham, and also the staff! haha.. they were all really nice people! They remember me! haha.. really feel so at home again!!! haha.. pardon me, i am always so happy when i go to sundac and homes.. haha.. dun mind dun mind my siao siao-ness.. because thats the only way i know how to be in a homee.. haha.. After that i linked up with Lyon at Sundac Bedok South, she was there to help christina-trainer, to draw some things and to decorate the whole home! haha.. She received all sorts of praises for her ability to draw so well. I was just well.. in-charge of cutting out whatever that was needed to be cut. haha.. (i can't draw well!!) During our stay there, we mingled with the clients there, and seriously, they are still as happy as ever luh =D with our presence, of course even happier luh! haax.. Jing Huan, Alvin, Mervin, Nas, Hong Chuan, Renuka!! YOU GUYS I MISS YOU GUYS!! haha.. The trainers miss u.. i miss u.. lyon miss u.. man.. =DD Do come back to sundac soon! =D i will try to think of something! The staff is seriously so nice luh, they are super supportive of YVIP and my plans this year! didn't need to say more.. and they were like, ok for everything i said. felt so good! haha.. Oh ya ppl! Sundac Bedok South, Formally Sundac Chai Chee will be having their opening ceremony on 12/7/08!! Do go if u have the time!! =D

(correct me if i am wrong lyon) at australia! =D
I bet everyone is working hard today.. another day before school starts =D Today was a good day. I overslept again.. and went to find my volunteer seniors.. haha.. to talk about the issue of getting funding from NCSS. its pretty tough. all pertaining to the red tapes, the paper work that we need to do.. well to put it simple, we have to register as a charity to fund raise, register as an IPC(Institute of Public Character) to get additional funding and also tax exemptions, then register for NCSS as a member to get professional help on getting a premises for our Organization. when all we wanted was A PREMISE to do accommodate the rising needs of our familes =) No worries, i am going to read them all up today at the Mac near my place =D steady la. haha.. tonight will not sleep. steady =D
jia you lyon. jia you all! wa.. we got a long way to go. Well.. just gotta believe!!
Woke up early, and started to send emails to Sundac Bedok South so that i can go down to do a recce trip today. It was all too last minute. haha.. But i still manage to secure an appointment with Mohammed, the Head of Sundac Bedok South. Calling sundac Cck was alright.. haha.. until the Executive director got me to change my schedule. Actually planned to recce Sundac Cck today, cause tml i will be gg down to Sundac Bedok South with Lyon. Anyways, yeap, Mrs Tham the Ed got me an appointment and i packed up bit of stuff and went over!
It was so confusing at first, (i think i just made a great deal out of nothing..) i wanted to document how the whole recce trip went.. haha.. down to the details of where to take bus and how to walk to sundac.. haha.. but after an attempt to draw out a map of how to walk there. i gave up! haha.. am going to get a map from google maps instead. ha.. There i met Caroline!! haha.. the friendly social work diploma Aunt! haha.. she is the admin officer on the admin desk. ha.. Of course, i saw the likes of Christina, John, Vasanth mani and the big daddy looking Mohammed! haha.. I also mingled with the clients that i know oh so well .. haha..(BHB there.. not so well luh.. ha.. will know them better in the future! Chatted with John for awhile.. he thought i was dead! haha.. cause i didn't go back for 3 months plus alr.. haha..was ps.. but managed to talk to him and the other staff alot +D so happy luh! i feel so at home suddenly! haha.. Later got to talk to Vasanth and Mani on the 12/7/08 opening ceremony of Sundac Bedok! HAHA..they told me to edit and add in some dance steps into the whole dance performance that the clients have practiced. haha.. i was like.. erm.. can i wait until tml? haha.. cause Lyon will have better ideas for this.. haha.. i am not good in dance =X Observed the dance, went quite well i thought! haha.. OH YEA BABY!! THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART!! TECK GUAN SANG THE SONG "XIAO WEI!!!!!" HAHAHAHA! He's so confident luh! and he is so natural when singing it! So cool luh!!! hahaha for those who dunno who is Teck Guan, he is a man that i feel is one of the most "kai lang" happy/cheerful in the whole home =D am so impress by him man.. haha.. he remembered the song, without looking at the words on the screen! haha.. There was another girl that was singing just now, she is new to the home, her name is Esther! haha.. she is one shy lady! didn't dare to sing when called upon.. but when she did sing, she sound fantastic!! I was so impressed with the both of them, clapping hands non stop for them!! haha Later in the visit, i went back to the office to talk to Mohammed on the YVIP'08 this year! haha.. He was like, ok for all my ideas, haha.. though i still need to go through Shannon again! ha.. SOOOooo happy luh! haha.. so happy to be back to Sundac. Everyone still seems so happy =D Oh ya, Instead of me talking more, Mohammed is like talking alot alot more =D sharing his views on youth volunteerism, how things can be improved for yvip's programme this year etc etc!! haha.. he is one wise man! =D Oh ya, tml i will be gg to sundac Bedok South in the afternoon.
haha.. this blog entry is typed at Bedok Library! haha.. after the recce trip, came to this library to type out the report and also other reports. Its getting really cold here. haha.. gotta cha bo soon.
Side tracking into the inner part of my heart..
Sometimes i wonder how it feels like to be in love? Maybe because i have been through more than 5 relationships, i dun have the keeness that i had when i started my first relationship in sec2. haha.. keeness i dun mean despo-ness.. haha.. many a times, i tell myself to be a geek, and be single. but nothing beats having someone that u can take care of, to be cared for. however, its sometimes really a far fetch dream? Many a times too, i felt so tired with my relationship endeavours... i mean, i get into a relationship, and break in less that a year.. after 7 years of this kinda life, it is normal to feel fatigue, to feel hopeless? BUT BUT BUT.. when a person who has the magnitude/ability to change my current state of mind. that, the person has to be the one i am looking for all my life. I might be wrong. but she can't be too far from that =D Nomatter how hard u try, most likely the person u go the route of life with will not be the perfect person u envisioned. well, at least he is not too far from that =D
Alright gotta go back home alr.. haha.. super cold now. haha.. wonder how is ur dance performance today Lyon. Guess it went well? All da best yea! good luck!!
Hope to talk to u soon. haha.. u have been so super duper busy. haha..
whenever my mummy says something to me tt is like sth she said like 5 secs ago..
"Peng yong, u know u have not worked for 2 months of ur holidays, and ur dad is having a higher burden for ur pocket money and stuff.. "
well its a passing remark. But whenever i get these from my mum. i frankly speaking, just feel si bei si bei sian la. yes i wanna be optimistic. but the truth is. i am not getting anywhere with so much insurnace. i need to find some job to get some pocket money to cover my own expenses.
i guess ya. it got through to me. but i am still si bei sian with myself now.
Tuesday! It was another tiring day! Morning woke up and told a lie! I was suppose to go to office to meet my "mentor" Ms peggy for a one to one lesson on cold calling! but i was busy preparing for the volunteer work that i am suppose to do today. Suppose to help a family to do some admin stuff, together with my super popular, experienced volunteer leader to HDB and then to woodlands primary school to check on the stock pile of food. Then to visit a needy family. But didn't get to visit a needy family today because helping the family took up our whole day! I was busying typing the whole day. Minutes for the HDB meeting today, the Interview conducted by sharon yest and also to prepare for the articles that we need to bring tml to talk to NCSS (National council of social service.) Yes.. we are registered! and the VWO's name is called: Share-On Welfare Organization. And yes, we need funds to further our endeavours.
haha.. tml gotta go back to office for role playing b4 meeting my client on thursday. hopefully to close the case. Am still new to the line. Thats for the morning. Afternoon i gotta follow sharon to NCSS to see the officer there at 3pm. Before that we gotta go sir building to register our logo too. Evening gotta meet 2 more clients, who are my class mates at AMK. haha.. another packed day. though i can still make time if u need me =) no worries, cause i am in control of my time.
hope tml will be a good day for ya lyon and all out there. haha.. mine will be a better day too!
This song has been inside both my computer, my psp, my hp ever since i heard it. Its lyrics is intriguing..
You can fill the darkness with just one flash of light Break the silence with just one word One defiance starts a revolution One life can save the world
On the steps of Washington Sprinkled like confetti Thousands of people sing “We shall overcome” The preacher shouts : “Let freedom ring.” He gave his life for what he believed
You can be a witness You can be a prophet You can make the whole world believe Break the strongest fortress Change the way the world thinks You can build a bridge where foes can meet Hope for the future Shout it, don’t whisper Dreams are what we make them to be There is hope in every heartbeat Tiny as it seems You’re a beautiful seed
She’s a pastor’s daughter She’s only 16 But her heart and her belly are breaking at the seams Her boyfriend blames her, he wants to pay for the doctor to wash it away
As she lays in the hospital, A Christmas choir is singing About a child in a manger, fragile and small “Unto us is born a Savior” She looks at her baby and cries as she sings him a lullaby.
You can be a witness You can be a prophet You can make the whole world believe Break the strongest fortress Change the way the world thinks You can build a bridge where foes can meet Hope for the future in the tiniest whisper Dreams are what we make them to be There is hope in every heartbeat Tiny as it seems You’re a beautiful seed
Every hope, every power lies in the heart of a seed that flowers Intertwined all across the land We’re all seeds in the maker’s hands.
Those lyrics in the song that hit me point blank.. Orange: Hmm.. how i relate to it is that, hey.. the world is so big.. and sometimes people are masked by what other expectations that OTHER people put on them. Its tiring, but yes, we subconciously accept all these invisible written 'orders'. All these applies to me too. Thats why when i heard this song, i had a fresh perspective of things, about life. (although i already do understand this fact about life, and is trying hard to balance it, its still tough.) Expectations are tough from the start when accept it. So to believe that there is hope in every heartbeat(human being), tiny as it seems, i begin to believe with more conviction in what i am doing day in day out. That there is hope in every person around me. Nomatter what that person is going through, how bad/good ppl think of he/she , how much things are changing in this reality. I believe there is hope. Just gotta believe yea. thats the strength of human beings, to be able to believe. hahahahaha.. i might sound so ridiculous now. But what i hope u, yes U! To take another 5 mins to listen to her songs again, with an open heart, open heart, open=no comments, just close ur eyes and listen and let ur imagination run, let urself imagine, and hopefully. . . this song will relate to u. And for those that are gg through a bad patch. May this song give u strength =)
BlUe: Its obvious, this part she is talking about abortion! haha.. at first when i heard this song, i didn't pay enough attention to the song, just trying to find a song that goes with my frequency.. but when i listened it a second time. this part hit me. I listened to this part numerous times after this. It begin to get to me that "wash away" means, abortion. At that moment, i hated myself. Because i am a guy, and its usually that guy that makes that decision to abort a child after an untimely pregnancy. This might happen to anyone, maybe me. A baby is a product of the love between two person, its the love of two person that created this human being that is so tiny and fragile. In turn this baby will also spread his/her wings and start the whole cycle. Anyways back to the topic. BUT!! Nomatter what happens, be strong. Thats something i heard, from someone, telling me after i listened to this part of the song. maybe its god, or its just me.. but thats wat i learned from these few verses. Be strong, Eventhough u are in the face of adversity. Jia you!
Red: Well.. can't it be any obvious! haha.. Everything depends on your heart. Ur hardwork, Ur compassion, Ur love, Ur care!
I was inspired to type this blog entry dedicated to this after listening to this song the dunno how many times, and today, while i was walking home alone from PC Show'08, i suddenly can, really, relate to this song. yes.. i got the goose bump.. hair suddenly all stand.. suddenly stopped while i was walking.. thats not the main point. Main point is, Believe that its possible. And make others believe too! Be optimistic about life, because i am also a human being, just like everyone else, Its only natural to be! So what are u waiting for? hahaha.. Smile and be happy to be alive! Treasure everyone around u, and believe that things are possible! =D
Alright, today i skipped going to office.. and didn't call anyone up.. haix.. Feeling guilty already. haha.. oh alright, this is my update of the tf camp which happened this past weekend at Aloha Changi Chalet! A wonderful chatlet, so big, but filled with mozzies!
First day of camp! Most of us met up at the train station and some at Changi ferry terminal. Anyways, we met up together at Changi beach, and had hell lotta fun! First we had the Mass Ice Breakers at the beach.. where we well.. had alot of fun whacking each other while remembering the names! Which i gotta say i am not so good at! haha.. Then We had alot of fun getting ourselves wet!! haha.. really wet! haha.. i guess i was the only comm that got wet v early on. haha.. but it was real fun lar!! serious! =P my team comprises of meiyun, nina, edmund and jessica(who wasn't around till night fall..) haha.. i was an all star team to me!! haha.. cause we have a lao jiao and two v capable young man and lady! haha.. will elaborate on them bit more later on. ha.. Then we did the yv cheer at the beach b4 we close the whole event. haha.. Lead by our dear kenny!! haha.. I guess the most memorable game for me was the game where we lost? ha.. where i gotta carry shawn towards the sea, into the sea, and bite that marshmallow from the string tied to two erected pole la!! haha.. shawn's weight was ok la. but i still found it challenging! haha.. contradicting? haha.. yeap! i got thorougly wet!!!!! (i slipped when i stepped into the sea.. haha..) Next will be the trust walk, where everyone was blindfolded!! walking around obstacles that are either there or just 'MAN'- made.. haha.. 'man' was refering to changloo and kenny la! haha.. i bet the other group had alot of fun too yea! haha.. next we had yv dance and yv song! EDMUND!! haha.. u are soooo cute la! haha.. so farny too! haha.. u were trying so v hard to learn the sign language for the chorous of "Our Song1" haha! you and meiyun really are struggling la! haha.. but i really think u two did a great job! its hard, but u nv gave up, as in just sit there and smile... haha.. u tried! So did u guys master it after TFcamp? hope u guys did!! haha.. Then we went to changi V to have our lunch! haha..
Gary, Vick, Kenny and me went ahead to the chalet first, cause we gotta prep for our workshop. haha.. we actually walked to the chalet la.. and it tooked like 15mins plus. haha.. i was borned there in my ns days.. so yea.. it wasn't new to me.. cause i jog that route almost every other day.. haha.. but hey.. it was still a challenge walking up those slopes with all the equipment that we are carrying! haha.. Let's dive straight into the workshop! haha.. First Gary opened the session talking about nothing but the "Difference between a Tf and a Leader"... hahaha.. need no further introduction! haha.. cause u guys have went through this workshop alr. haha.. just gotta say, u guys did great! haha.. with alot of coaxing from the comm of course! =O haha.. Then vick continued with the workshop on "Roles and responsibilities of a tf!" haha.. it started to turn engaging, and that is where we got our "no.1!!" haha.. For those who don't know, the No.1 we are refering to the No.1 Attribute on that mahjong paper which we had written all the attributes of a good tf. haha.. No.1 => Zhi high!!
haha.. it started with the no.1, with some story of Gary experience using the handsign and abit of modification, No.1 became a revoluntion!! hahaha.. well it goes like this, when anyone in the yv family points up his/her/ his-her hand, pointing up into the sky only the index finger in a no.1 fashion, everyone will suddenly and surely cheerrrr till their vocal box feel sore! haha.. Everyone basically zhi high!! thats the spirit of this TF camp and yv'08 definitely! haha.. get it? haha..
anyways later we went on to the attachment section of the workshop. i did alot of talking for this one. haha.. seriously covering every single aspect of the attachment that i can actually think of. haha.. i tried to speak it all out in the way that everyone understands.. and also the way i rehearsed.. but didn't got up to rehearsal standard? for that i felt kinda sucky for awhile? haha.. i was thinking maybe i needed to prepare bit more.. but hey! haha.. u guys really cheered me up in the debrief, i really appreciated it! words from kenny, marco and definitely chui san resonated in my brain right till now. Just can't forget chui san saying, u did a good job today. haha.. i felt geat! at least all these hard work for about 2 weeks didn't go unseen by my boss! haha.. After the workshop, we had something more interactive, the role playing part!! haha.. everyone were given about 10 mins to prepare that i think totaled to 20 mins in the end..... and 5 mins to prepare.. well they kept within the 5 mins at least. haha.. vick was hurrying me all the while.. pointing to his watch... haha.. every group did great! one of the thing that stood out was shawnie!!! hahahahaha she was so cute la!! haha.. role playing as an hyper active kid. she was seriously so into it! woot! haha.. we al had a good laugh! haha..
after tt we had our dinner and inspirational games!! haha.. actually its the peanut thing. and the apple thing. haha.. shawnie cut open the apple from the side and tada!! there is a star in the middle of it. haha.. Signifying that in everyone(every apple is differnt) there is a star in them. =) The peanut one, tfs are suppose to draw a replica of the peanut after looking at it for 3 sec. then after tt drawing it after looking at it for 3 mins.. shawnie is trying to tell everyone that every person(peanut) is different! first impression only counts tt much.. as in u only see so much with ur first impression. u gotta know the person more, over a longer period of time to know the person. =)
wonderful lessons indeed shawine vick and changloo!! =D
alright... scavenger hunt next! haha.. just one thing to note.. we haven't bathed loR!!! haha.. and yea.. gotta comment on mei yun! she is not shy about asking. not at all! hahaha.. thats how she got us the 50cm long hair! not once, but twice! hahaha.. and alot of other things.. me and edmund were just looking around.. haha.. oh ya, me and jessica got the G-String too!! hahahaha.. +P
alright.. then we had debrief and reflections.. end of first day!
haha.. think i gone too detailed? i need to go for a meeting now. svc publicity meeting. haha.. will type the second the third day tonight. meanwhile, enjoy ur wednesday!! =D
py
back!
2nd day
we woke up early the next day, and had our yv dance and cheer! haha.. During that time i went to changi beach to get the power point slide that shawnie send me but i didn't download b4 hand. she needs its for the thinking workshop. haha.. I met Lyon over there. and directed her to the chalet. WELCOME DAUGHTER(LYON) TO YVIP TF CAMP'08!! heh haha.. after that they had breakfast.. then the thinking workshop. The thinking workshop conducted by Shawnie was great! haha.. i think everybody was kinda coaxed to think in another way =) we were told to jot down whatever was on my mind. something that hit me the part where shawnie told us a fact that is that, if u are brainstorming for ideas, usually u will get something that is interesting after ur 4th or 5th idea. something that is creative and constructive =) Its pretty true! try it out! after tt we had station games!! haha.. some wet games.. like the dog and bone with water! and the violent game! Which i think i saw the true colours of Sylvia! haha.. she was super violent when she tried to step onto Lyon's water bag!! haha.. Of course the comm had fun throwing water bomb at the tfs! heh.. after that we had the spider web that shawnie and me were incharged of.. i am proud of u guys! =D i think u guys really bonded alot there =D Then after that u guys had the forming shape game when u guys are blind-folded. haha.. it was so fun la.. haha.. just watching u guys doubt urself kinda make me feel so dumb founded. cause i think ur guys gotta have more confidence in urself =) jia you ppl! though i think really, u guys really bonded alot more during the games! do u guys feel the same way too? ha.. WE had dinner next and watched 3/4 of the movie Patch adams. haha.. i guess everyone learned a great deal too! haha.. =) i personally like the part where the professor asked adam to guess how many fingers there are. it was four. but "u gotta look beyond that!" i guess i got much to learn after i watched tt. haha.. Then we had amazing race!!!!!!!haha.. food hunt actually. haha.. super heavy rain when we start lo..haha.. but it only lasted awhile.. haha.. My Team's route was relatively challenging in compared to other teams' routes.. We first gotta go to Bedok interchange to pick up Mei Yern, then after that we will go down Bedok 85 to find the famous "ba chor mee", what did we found in the end? the freaking store is close!! haha.. we found chui san and eric though.. phew.. wat a relief!!! Then later rushed to our second destination which was at, Geylang Lorong 27!! haha.. it was the famous Tao Hua store! haha.. Ha.. it was kinda easy to locate, because we have ppl that are familiar with the ground, refering to our dearest Nina here!! haha.. I was basically just following.. haha.. Cause i myself don't even know how to get there!! haha..Tracy and Shawnie were stationed there. haha.. Such a weird combi considering that its.. u know GEYLANG... haha.. We had our share of tao hua and left. luckily we weren''t told to do any kinda forfeit like wat sista's(jessica) group did!! they were made to cheer for the shop!! haha... We were in need of precious time, and we got permission to skip the last checkpoint at changi V. haha.. instead, we used our time to roam around geylang to find ppl that can help us transform those ordinary eggs into edible and creative dishes for our dinner! We got it on the rough,so are all the teams i bet! haha.,. we nearly got con afew times too! cause we were thinking of buying porridge. 1st store, price is $1.50. woa.. haha.. then another store that we went to it was selling at 1/5 that price, $0.30!! haha.. we took up the offer of course!! so we were happily wanting to exchange our salted egg for their cooked salted egg. yeap.. they charged us again.. $1... even when we told them we are playing a game! haha.. well.. that's biz ain't it? haha. Its not all bad news experiences though. we did met an indian roti prata shop tennat that helped us make to egg roti prata with our eggs! haha.. we were seriously overwhelmed by their kindness! haha.. and they charged us at the "ko-song" (without egg) price. haha.. Actually they weren't exactly that enthusiatic and kinda long face throughout luh.. but when we offered to take a picture with them and their store, their long face all changed into smiles! @@ .... haha.. think they are just innate v camwhore.. but didn't have the chance ba? hahahaha!! and there we were!~ giving them the opportunity to look as happy as they could, on camera! shit.. i think i sounded so weird here! haha. Of course, we were the team that brought back 2 cup of instant noodles and the can fruit can! haha.. bought it using our spare cash on our way back! haha,.. Of course, we played cheat, we actually cooked some eggs when we were back, and tracy was fuming for awhile when she found out.
We had our dinner next and explained how we got the food. it was 9 plus. we debriefed and all went to bathe and sleep. =) Oh ya, everyone was told to sleep in their tf camp tee! haha.. told that we are gg to ubin the next day to meet siew mui for some activities.. haha.. u guys actually buy tt? hahahaha.. cool! think we did a great job! 3cheers to the comm!! haha..
the comm didn't sleep.. all preparing for the surprise bbq for the tfs at around 3am. haha.. i guess the only complain we can get is that everyone wasn't in the best of mood when they wake up to have fun!! haha.. all the tfs were zombie like.. haha.. actually we should have just stood with using water guns and water to wake u guys up luh!! haha., oh ya, and the comm didn't bathe..the whole night was just pure preparing for this surprise, it was successful though! haha.. hope u guys enjoyed it! hahaa..
We partied, played slide butt, musical chair and talk alot of cock b4 sun rise.. haha.. i was too drained.. went to sleep at around 630am. haha.. they other tfs were great! so energetic la! haha.. When i woke up, all was watching patch adams, then we packed our stuff. and left the premises.. Of course, we played the game called "shoot(which means kill someone u dun like), shag(yea..have sex..), and marry!" haha.. all the guys unanimously prefer to shag shawine, and most girls will love to marry vick or chang loo! haha... cool! =D Last but not least, we had the prizez presentation!! haha.. marco->best housewife award! me-> best house husband award! kenny-> most kiasu a.k.a most caring person award! chui san-> most angelic award! haha.. the others i forgot!! haha... =D
