YAY! i feel so HAPPY! MAIN REASON: PIANO THEORY EXAM OVER!

I shall start from wednesday till today, because today was quite fun too! MINUS THE 3 HOURS IN THE ROOM OF DOING, STONING, THINKING, RESTING, AND CONTINUE DOING!

And the MOST COMMONLY HEARD line during the graces camp: YOUR CAMERA IS PINK? O.O

with the follow up explanation that it's a FAMILY CAMERA!

OK! LET THE WHOLE STORY BEGIN! (not exactly a story, a good and relaxing experience)

WEDNESDAY:

Woke up feeling the day was different( i mean obviously it was different) HAHA! i was feeling very happy but the rain kind of made the mood a bit different! So at first my father wanted to drop me off in school, but there was a JAM! so dropped me off at the bus stop:D then when i reached, i saw natalie and gang taking out the window panes to climb into class to get the hats:D And we proceeded to the auditorium, and they were super lot of people :O i never expected to see so many people at such an early timing!:D saw some familiar faces, some people looked happy, some people looked like they were going to torture camp!

But due to the rain, not everybody could sit on the floor outside audi, so we went into the auditorium to wait for the bus-es! a lot of BUZZING here and there! but it's expected:D then boarded the bus, the nice nice teacher, operation manager and vice-principal held the umbrella for us so that we are sheltered from the rain:D on the bus, oh, played tap studio on justina's iphone a while, then stared out of the window for a while. Something random: i like to stare out of the window and think:D let the scenery just fly pass:D talked to mr chan for a while, he told us about stuffs and sort of his values in life? yeah, very simple needs so he say he's easily satisfied and happy!:)

OK! and we finally reached pasir ris! so we took the bags down and proceeded to D Marquee to have our morning tea! When i saw the buffet-like style and people standing around us to serve us, i totally shocked!:O First, it was like a holiday! Second, i don't really like the idea of someone older than us serving us! they should have like self-service, like we put our own plates! A bit of briefing then we went off for out first activity of the day!:D HAHA!

GO D TENT for workshop 1, Grooming and Make-up! and the seating arrangement was super messy! end up, jolene and i were "homeless" so we had to borrow chair from another table to have enough seats and LOL:D so some parts i listen, some parts some laming around with jolene ong! And JOLENE used my camera to take pictures, LOL! and some parts sleeping! then BEST! teacher went to take picture. zzz. then they got people up to help them make-up and style their hair. then make-up was disastrous! HAHA! with jolene trying to help me and me trying to help her! in the end, amanda helped me:D jolene helped me comb some hairstyle, LOL, and look like korean style? haha, idk! and SING QING WAS SUPER FUNNY! it's like she never look at mirror go put some dark green-colored eye shadow! then when she looked up, xing ying saw her first, so xing ying laughed! then when the whole table saw her, WE JUST BURST OUT LAUGHING! because SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE GOT PUNCHED IN THE EYE! BOTH EYE SOME MORE! THEN SO SUDDEN! then we laughed so loud until the person got quite pissed and asked us to share the joke! LOL! then laugh until i stomach pain!:D HAHAHA! now i still smiling. HEHE!

Lunch back at D marquee:D nothing much, the food were not bad but i didn't really had the appetite! so instead of putting on weight during this camp, i think i lost a tiny bit of weight:D HAHA! which is good la!:D OH! and mun ning, jolyn and i wanted to take some photo! and they took turns running away!:D haha! (that also explains why i was sabo-ed later on)

Then next one! workshop 2 which is deportment and dining etiquette at begonia ballroom! HAHA! some a bit lame, but some parts quite funny also! Mun ning kept smiling! LOL! still got what, walk with heels! HAHA! feel so elevated! then still got what volunteer here and there! and some people were super funny! hehe:D cannot exactly remembered what happened, but i was sabotaged! ask me what i learn! haha, then to get up the short elevated platform, the shortest way is just to step up. then in the end, still need walk down and walk up again. lol! i can't even remembered what i answered!

tea break plus some briefing then went back to check into room! bath and changed into ethnic costume! watched some show on channel u to keep myself out of boredom. Then left for D marquee to attend the malay extravaganza! some people performed and stuff! but it was quite sad because everyone was going around taking photos:D my mission that night was to take with every single 205 person:D haha, i not sure whether i achieved, i don't think i did la! i think everyone looked nice in their various ethnic costumes! It's quite cool and fun to see the super wide color range just with a glance around the whole D Marquee. it feels happy to see the colorful colors!:D i think i had fun! haha!

then we went over to d tent to learnt some dance! and smart me! haha, i don't know how i walk/run! the clogs thing was like coming out! hehe, and i was quite worried because i scared my mother will scold, because it's not mine! but during the dance, like because cannot really see, plus the fact that jolene and i went to the toilet so like we didn't really learn how to dance!:D then after coming from the toilet, it was quite funny! because everybody was in d tent, then when we walked already like going to no space. Got one part of the dance still must move to the left! then jolene and i totally no space to walk, then quite funny! the best part is still got THE HAND STICK OUT! haha! so we were half-laughing, half trying to avoid them:D

back to d marquee for briefing and back to our room! hehe. changed out of the ethnic costume, watch channel u show, the illusionist, played truth or dare and sms-ed:D HAHA! it helped me out of my boredom(sorry, i know it sounds offensive but kind of don't want to talk in circles)! i appreciate the usage of a tv:D and thanks to those i sms-ed/disturbed:D hehehe! quite tired also so soon, fell asleep!

THURSDAY:

Woke up at 6.15 or was it 6.30? aiya, cannot remember! somewhere around that time, so changed and left for D Marquee to eat breakfast!:D same thing la, the food was quite nice and had some briefing!

Then we had preparation for the dance. haha, and of all places, we went outside the d marquee to do! so it was quite warm outside! we still had a lot of things to learn, like those transition part and we still had to go through the steps one by one! i was telling them, "next time when i out in the streets, if i ever hear that AMIGO SONG playing, i think i will just go crazy" so we just keep practicing, then we went back to D marquee and set off for the various venues to continue with the workshops!

Next workshop was on effective communication! haha! a bit lame la, but it was quite funny! as in they stuff they say i find a bit useless, and i don't really like those people because they like to talk with some hidden sarcasm! Why not just tell us straight that we have behavioural problems instead of using those subtle sarcasm to put message across? is this really what they call effective communication! hehe, but anyway, i was doodling on the paper! the funny part is always when they call for volunteers. HAHA!

then we had lunch! we ate for 30 minutes, then the rest of the 30 minutes, we went to dance! lol, then i just couldn't get some steps:O

(bleh, something random! i have been posting from yesterday! i need to finish by today! finish uploading and tagging photos, now need to finish posting! AHH! but every second now! i'm see a "you have received a new email from facebook" at the bottom right hand corner of this computer screen:O)

ok! so after lunch! the best part of the camp! indoor games! HAHA! it felt more like a camp:D

our 1st station was at the 3rd station first! then we were briefed! so the game was like we must transfer a ball from one end to the other end, then 2 people will have be at the ends, one is catcher, one is thrower, then the people holding the towels must help to transfer it! then it's super funny la! HAHA! some parts we totally just dropped on the floor laughing! because beside us the station, got one is need keep that super big exercise ball in the air! then will drop one! LOL! so got one part, the ball suddenly came from nowhere and bounced on JOLENE'S HEAD! HAHA! DAMN FUNNY! reminded me of the miniclip game! then the ball bounce! HAHA! laughed until stomachache!:D but it was very funny:D

ok, then our 2nd station was passing the hoops, that one quite funny also, but not as funny, just wriggle here and there:D

3rd station was the ball one! haha! so we grouped in 3 different groups, the short group, the medium group and the tall group:D the hand quite painful!

4th station was the land mine station! quite fun also, cannot particularly remember any funny incidents that happened!

(it's the 3rd day i'm posting, and i'm determined to finish by today XD)
5th station, the tennis ball, need to keep the tennis ball between 2 chopsticks where 2 people will hold one chopstick each, then after 6 pairs completed, then fix the jigsaw puzzle! hehe, nothing significant happened as well.

6th station. LOL, we are supposed to see what's the smallest number of folds we can create! then carry here and there one! haha, everybody all panic!:D but it's quite fun, considering we can cheat ocasionally:D *shhhh*

7th station! this station is the best! HAHA, 402 completed 52, we all hor, 8-.-! HAHA! but it's still fun! because we jump here and there, then everybody jump together! hehe!

Then the games finish liao!:( we need cheer! so all the councillors go in front to lead us ma! then because our class no councillors, so we were like, "boycott! we don't stand up!" and kah mun threatened to throw her show at me. LOL! had prize presentation, our class got 3rd, then 412 got 2nd and 404 got 1st, but siao one leh! they totally just ran up the stage:O i cannot imagine if the stage really drop down:P then what would have happened! ok, out of point!:D

so we went for our afternoon tea! eh! no! we didn't go ah! we only went back for briefing! then we continued with prac! see how much we valued the dance. TSK! sacrifice half of lunch and the whole afternoon tea:D actually is called super last-minute. but nvm lor, after practicing like a bit sian, then we had to go for class parade rehearsal! and how come they walk so fast! with sports shoe still can, with heels can die one leh!

so after that, we went back for the GRAND PREPARATION of formal dinner. hehe! and i realised they gave us a lot of time! so i went visiting:D go knock knock, say hello! talk talk, then say byebye! haha! so i went back to the room then bathe, then went to amanda's room:D hehe, she helped me put make-up and lend me necklance, then i went back to my room to change! then go out for some lame check, and off we went! and yeah! i never knew the walk could be so long:O normally walk also not so long, that day super long leh! and i just realised that my heels is kind of loose, but a bit too late. haha!

when going to reach le, saw my dad and mum, so went to hide a bit first, then when i saw them walking in, then i continued walking:D but hor, attempt failed! because my mum called to ask where i was, so saw them, then some fussing. LOL! ok, then they went to sit down! then i don't know why also, almost everybody were at the back leh! TAKING PICTURES, SOCIALISING:D I realised i could not recognise a lot of people from far! like need go near, then see the face, then OH! so you are...! LOL! but after a while, i recognise people by their dress/gown!:D hehe! I think everyone looked nice, obviously have exceptions, and the exceptions i mean is stunningly gorgeous/pretty/sexy/beautiful (haha, take me seriously because i always can't seem to find that level of beauty in people) :D

Emcee for that night: Mr Chia:D So we needed to go back to our seat, or else need sing song! haha! so we went back! then what happened ah! oh, i think the first activity was guessing some historic people, not exactly historic but like those important people, either in a good way or bad way!:D i only know some people, and mr chan became obama:D HAHA! still got some others! cannot really remember! die! i'm having memory lapses! but anyway, i shall just list down the things that happened not in chronological order! maybe some still can list in chronological order but the other activities sort of forget liao!

erm, 1st section of class parade rehearsal!:D haha! quite funny la! when you see the differences from how one person walk to another person!:D cannot really remember how which classes was the first part of it!

then it was Miss Graceful! everybody up the stage liao, jo ling still haven't go up, i think they were helping her to adjust something! haha! i seriously don't know how they choose one, hehe, because everyone was graceful. LOL!

OH, in between here and there, the food came! the soup was quite nice, then the appetizer(how do you spell it) was quite ok too, main course was zzz. not nice one! so eat a bit only:D

after that was 2nd section of class parade rehearsal! then suddenly, my mother came running to me, "your papa leading one class!" then i went "O.O, really ah? why? i thought suppose to be mothers" then my mother said because she wasn't feeling well and she don't really want so she asked my dad! LOL! then i ask then which class papa leading? haha, then my mother said 410! i just went LOL! HAHA! so i went to the back where they were practicing and snapped a few photos of my dad:D Mr Lim saw my mother and told her some stuff but the line i can remember best is, "mischievous in a harmless way" haha!

After taking some photos, i went back to sit! actually, i went to sit on my father's seat because he was right in front:D haha, i realised my father looked so funny!:D haha! the pictures were quite blur! but anyway, everybody looked funny (and nice)!:D

then we had time to take photos, so went around looking for people to take pictures:D

ok, here comes the part where i almost died! so right, i heard them calling for some award! so i thought it was miss personality because previously i was sabo-ed when I WASN'T IN CLASS! then i actually went to the front to ask, then i realised it was miss confident! so soon, we need to sit down! so we went to sit! then desert came! so i happily sat down and started eating. Then i turned my back and i saw li han still there, so i asked, "why you never go there? they calling for miss confident!" THEN SHE WAS LIKE, "NO! IT'S YOU! FASTER GO!" I TOTALLY SHOCK DIAO LEH! OMG! some more, mr chia was like how come 406 one missing, SO MALU! SO I FROM DOWNSTAIRS, GO UP STAGE DO SOME STUPID THINGS, TILL GO DOWN, STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED FROM MY STATE OF SHOCK! all the way, my mind still :O and O.O! so embarassing(aunty lucy) tsk! woah, i recovered already, but now when i think about it, i still have post-trauma shock! HAHA, jkjk:D

so recovered!:D and then was 3rd section of class parade! i don't know how they seriously can walk so fast! ok, nvm!:D at least the pose was much better and in my mind already have mental preparation!:D

haha, then it was miss personality! i think this one very funny:D HAHA! because i didn't expect certain things from certain people:D LOL! some just ran off the stage!

my mother was saying the judging not very fair!:D because she felt some people deserve it better!

YEP, so we had some more activities, and my legs were super painful from all the walking, so during these activities while seating down, i took off the heels and it felt quite comfortable but the toes there still like want to cramp!:(

i guess it ended on a good note and after that it was chaotic everywhere!:O taking pictures, then walk must becareful! haha, sometimes can accidentally walk into people's photos! haha! yay! 205 picture:DDD totally spammed picture taking!:D

De-briefing they did some head-count and we went back to our room! haha, went to find jolene, then went to amanda's room, then back to jolene's and back to my room. remove make-up, change, wash up, then quite tired so after packing up and stuff, just plonked onto the bed:D sms-ed a while:D hehe, and went to dreamland!

FRIDAY:

woke up even earlier! 5.30 or 5.45, do the necessary stuff, pack up check everything and we left for D marquee! one of the few to reach but i thought we were suppose to be there by 6.30:D but anyway, we had breakfast!:D final rehearsal! and the long awaited grand finale (wait, was it long-awaited) ok! but nvm!

All the dances were nice:D i liked everybody's one but we didn't really get to watch 413 and 414 because we were sandwiched between them both but due to technical difficulties, they went first! haha, willy wonka was a bit retarded! but i liked it best, because it's the easiest to learn and easiest to execute as compared to the shinee la, amigo. TSK! but quite nervous before going up! :x

watched a montage put up by mr michael chang, then had prize presentation!:D yeah, closure was nice! but i kind of became a bit moody because when i think about how relaxing it was, and how relaxing things are going to be, i want to cry already!:O

so yeah, everything ended! let's do some reflecting! i never thought i would miss graces! yeah, though the dressing-up part will still remain lame to me, it will forever be etched in my memory! actually, the only regret throughout this whole camp is not being able to go through it with 205 as a class, but i know i'm being stupid. haha, more people can connect better to their class now, but though i realise that 406 do have many nice people, i still can't seem to make that connection! actually i think i miss the bit where it's so relaxing, you don't really think about anything. and little things throughout the camp that made me look forward:D so i enjoyed the camp! trust nanyang to give us such wonderful experiences, yet bombard us with many unwanted stuff too! but that's life, i guess, having a fair share of everything!

After that, we had class lunch at macdonalds! yeah, we reached there at like 1++, left like 3+++ near 4 already! HAHA:D quite ok la, but as usual, i didn't have appetite! some stuffs quite funny and comical:D

SATURDAY:

it's not my piano exam that i want to talk about! HAHA! IT FAIR! we went it fair! my mum wanted to buy a laptop! then she was considering one model which has a pretty big screen! and it just doesn't look nice like a laptop! haha! so my sister and i asked her to buy another model! the other model has 3 different colors --> black, white and pink! haha! black is boring, our 2 desktops all black. haha, i'm fine with white and pink! pink has a really nice gradient-like. since i'm neutral to both and my sister feels quite strongly with the pink, so we got that model:D

and there were a lot of PEOPLE! :O haha! then we walked past this place that sells ipods and stuffs! my sister asked if she could buy an itouch and my mother just went "OK lor!" i was pretty shocked at her quick response! she asked if i wanted one too! then i didn't want!

i never saw the need in having an ipod! because i will use it to hear songs, i have my handphone already:D maybe someday, when i get more picky about the nice colors and the sleeker and cooler designs or get more particular about the sound quality, then i will want to have one! handphone is functional too:D haha!

SUNDAY:

nothing much!

MONDAY:

ah! i'm like rushing to finish typing out this long long post! because i'm going out later! which is like 20 minutes later. haha, my sister and i are going to meet my mum at jurong point to watch a show and then do some shopping. haha! jurong point is huge! and it does bring memories, right?:D
