Bodycombat (5/7)
it was at california fitness at bugis... the five of us, me, yiling, ghis, fel and stella, went there after the uni talks. oh... i'm quite sure by now that i want to go into engineering in the uni.... unless i'm really that stupid. anyway, we had almost an hour to kill there. so went to walk then went for bodycombat. the instructor, june was so hyper. gosh. i wonder how she conducts 3 classes in a day. we learnt the basic punches and kicks before starting on a 10-track exercise, with breaks only after 3-4 tracks. it was tiring but fun! and it was great help to shout at every kick and punch because it'd make you forget that you're tired. really sweated it out after like... 1 month of studying. and gosh... the toilet was so nice! we all went to shower there, shampoo, soap and towel all provided. so cool! it was such a nice bath. and we were taking our time to dry our hair and make it nice. lols. ghis took the longest to come out... as usual.
went to buy tako pachi after the refreshing bath... so i think all the calories burnt earlier was gained back. lol. took a train back to srgn to meet raf... whom i think was rather bored cuz hewas on holiday. sat down and talked to him for a while an waited for edwin, but he ended late and i had to chiong 23 case studies so i went off first.
ok... talking about 23 case studies... what the **** is wrong with nj econs department?! during the holidays we didnt get any econs homework AT ALL. and now we get 23 case studies to do in a week? how can that get us an A? and how can we bloody take it seriously when we have to rush it within a week? we'll just end up doing it for the sake of doing and not for studying purposes. ergh.
Ropes course (6/7)
had to wake up early early in the morning to go all the way to upp bkt timah for the ropes course. sat at the bus stop for quite long cuz i was early. the last time i went there i was sec2. so after stella and yiling came (anne marie was sick), we went in... tgt with 32 other people... we split into 2 grps (mostly guys and girls in one grp)... and then proceeded with what i have loved to do since i joined np. the girls (and 4 guys) did the ropes challenge first... we were under instructor carrie... and she was so funny. forgot how to belay a person already (because atf doesnt work on belayers).. so i slacked. hahas. went up the tight rope one first... and she made us cross the rope within 10sec. so funny. but it was seriously much easier than atf. i freaked out many many times during atf. haha. then we did the net one... just to cross it... i was more tired than scared up there.
then to the zip-line! still wasnt as exciting as the double zip-line in atf (i cant help comparing). but the exciting part was really the intial jump off... because it almost felt like free fall and my heart totally dropped out. haha. if i knew more people there i'd probably have screamed my lungs out for the fun of it. we went for lunch... then rested in the dorm for a while. almost felt like sleeping.
went back to do abseiling. this one was much higher than the sec3 alpha camp's... and i was certainly more afraid. this girl kept screaming... it was funny... but also made us more afraid. haha. when i finally did it it was ok... but i held on to the rope so tightly. lols. then stella and yiling came down. proceeded to the platform for the jumping thing. we didnt do the lone pole one... because i'd have freaked out if we did it. had to jump from the platform to reach a bar...like the trapeze in a circus. freaky!! but i managed to catch it! and the damn rope hit my right ear... which made the last hole bleed like crazy. haha. inst carrie kept asking if i was okay. she wanted to tell mr menon... but of course i wldnt let her! haha. she had 3 ear holes too! so now i know why it's very dangerous to wear earrings for this kinda thing and i finally understand why i have to take out earrings during every np trng session. lols!
although it wasnt as freaky as atf... i still enjoyed myself because i may never get to do it again. but i still miss atf. lol. and i enjoyed the company of the 2 instructors who were so hyper and mad.... haha. really made us laugh. after that stella and i went to the salvation army shop to look ard. the clothes were really weird. and the shop was really weird too. haha. took a bus back home and on the way edwin called to ask to go out for dinner.
went home first to rest for a while... and realised that my nose was burnt and so were my two arms. went out to meet edwin and raf at gardens. ate at chomp chomp. our usual hokkien mee, sting ray and sugar cane and my chin chow which i cldnt finish. haha. went to macs to stone and talk. edwin told a lot of stories.. and raf was enjoying it everytime i argued with edwin. haha. moved outside and raf and i started a singing lesson with edwin to make him sing in tune. hahas. left ard 11pm. i was really tired.... raf kept saying i was a drunken fish cuz half the time i didnt know what i was talking about. haha.
well, i just want to say that both of them and the others whom we hang out with are special to me (and even special-er to me than other aquaintances). i do care what they consider me as.. but i just want to say that each of them hold a special place in my heart. =)
came home feeling the pain of the sun burns... and pain in my ear hole. arghs. how am i going to last the next two days?! haha. oh... happy green earth day! no global warming!!~

*why is it so easy to give up on something that i shouldnt give up on, and so difficult to give up on something that i should?-
-I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
Cause I'm in love with you...
