CANDID SHOT OF KAREN, COURTESY OF PEIXIAN
Okay, so basically me and a few 4e1 06 peeps, together with Hui Ying's class from Innova, went as student leaders to help in the WRS costal clean-up for our beloved Mr. Chong. Arrived at coffee-shop opposite WRS at 6.50, thinking that I was late.
No one was there.
Shouldn't have perambulated so fast.
Anyway, we gathered in school and were divided to our transit and our group. My group was quite unique because it only had one guy (Farhan) and the leader's name is Calisa. (Reminds me of Calipso in POTC). My first impression of Farhan was that he was not an extrovert, which I was to be wrong about. Anyway, there was quite a confusion when we got there because we were unsure whether we should venture further in. However, our transit was blocked by a large trunk and we had to travel to transit 8, then 7, and then tried to find a way back to transit 9. Un fortunately, the branch was longer than I expected, and we ended up cleaning transit 7 and 8 as well. Saw a large crab and I was totally unaware of it until I had crossed the area and nearly stepped on it -.-
Started to rain heavily at around 10.30 and the operation was cancelled. Total number of fatalities : 2 muddy boots. I was stuck in the mud while trying to get to the transit to untie the number tag. Thanks to Si Hui who helped me out! She later got stuck as well and I helped her out. We were totally caught off-guard by the rain. I only brought pants to change but that did not help as I was drenched from head to toe by the time I got to shelter. In fact, everyone was drenched, especially the student helpers as we were the last to cross the 'river' back to the sheltered are, which was about 1km away.
It was a joyful experience. The feeling of rain soaking through the clothes is something I have not experienced and enjoyed since my secondary school life. Rain still liven ups my spirit and soul. the feeling of the rain spraying on my face, and the feeliing of water running down my arms, legs, is perhaps one of the best feelings I will ever experience. I ran my fastest 800m in rainy weather (though the timing is nowhere near track and field standards). Rain is my element ^^
I MUST GET DRENCHED AGAIN.
SOON.
I have been longing to rant about the Deathly Hallows (or as my jiejie Audrey says: Deathry Harrows xD) ever since I finished reading it. Don’t worry. I will try my best not to give away too much for the benefit of those who have yet read this wonderful ending to the Harry Potter Saga.
Now, I shall announce my favourite characters. Some of them have changed over the course of reading the last book, and one surprising character made it to my top 3 after I finished reading book 7. Now, my top 3 favourites, in no order of merit are:
Ginny Weasley
Stubborn, yet with a tinge of death, some parts in the Potter Saga has indeed made Ginny look and sound scary (bat bogey hex). However, she has remained one of my favourites all through books 6 and 7 because of the very same reasons above, as well as her split personality. She could be the sweet little girl one time and a deathly witch the next.
Luna Lovegood
What can I say? She stands by her believes (Crumpled Horn Snorlacks), not to mention her radish earrings. What I’m trying to say is that she knows when to believe herself, and ignore the comments of others, however insulting they might escalate to.
Neville Longbottom
Yes. In case you were wondering, this was the one I was mentioning above that just made it to my list. You could say it was quite a feat for Mr. Longbottom. Regardless, he proved himself worthy of my top 3 list in the last book.
Those who almost made it:
Fred and George Weasley
Funny and witty, and oh how they can joke even when they are in moral peril. It’s not always fun and games for these 2 young entrepreneurs, as we have seen in book 5 when they were worried for their father. In fact, I’m starting to think why I left them out.
OKAY. TOP 4
GINNY, LUNA, NEVILLE, FRED AND GEORGE
Hold on. That makes 5.
*fumbles with notes*
Okay. Top 5.
Finally! Time to blog!!
Jun You came back 2 weeks ago and kc, Tracie, Eunice and I met him during our youth day holiday! We went to town and he generously bought us all a cup of Godiva Chocolate (YUM~!!) which cost like freaking $8 a cup!! Thanks jy! Went over to marina square where he bought a buffalo (jeans) and a sweater from a shop whose name is oddly familiar yet I cant seem to place a name on it right now. We went to Skin where he tried these really retro jeans which didn’t look like something he would wear, and seriously, I think he made the right choice in buying the buffalo (jeans). Went to orchard next where Amos made and appearance. We went to Chanel and Dunhill, then off to Taka’s Godiva to buy chocs for jy’s friend in Aussie. Eunice, Amos and I had to go to 11A class dinner so we left them, whilst tracie left for home. Kc and jy went to Si Hui’s new house (I want to go!!).
The class dinner was good, despite the fact that half of us – me included – were late by more than an hour. We walked from Marina Bay mrt to the steamboat area which was freaking far in! I was drenched in my own sweat (one second thoughts, of course my own sweat…). CT and the others who were there had already started. We took another table and started piling our plates with GLORIOUS FOOD! Boon Ping and Louise refused to touch the raw prawns (still alive) so Zhi Jun and I went to wash them. I admit I was abit apprehensive at first not being used to it and all but the prawns were well behaved and only once did I feel a squirm at my palm. (CT absolutely refused to eat the prawns because according to him, certain animals release a poison as they die and he said looking at how the prawns slowly (and pitifully) died in the pan, he could not imagine how much poison was being secreted.) in fact, only Zhi Jun lined the prawns up for the slaughter, although I did move them around in the pan. The result? Zhi Jun ate most of the prawns and forced all of us to eat at least one or two prawns. After the dinner we sang happy bdae to Boon Ping and we tried to call a cab. Never try to call a cab at 9pm on the night of a holiday. All you get is the automated answer. So I stood like an idiot for 45mins hoping to hear humanity at the other side of the line but it was to no avail. We finally took the bus back to the mrt and took the mrt home -.-
Went to have a farewell dinner for jy on Thursday night. We went to cwp’s Dian Xiao Er and the food was really quite good! One thing I cannot resist saying is that their white rice is labelled in the menu as ‘Superior White Rice’. Hahaha. Snuck out with Si Hui after ordering on the pretence of going to the toilet, which I later realised was a bad excuse since we visit different toilets (I promptly told Si Hui or Si Hui told me… I forgot… that we were SISTERS) I can still remember how we served each other that day, everyone piling food on each others plates for the first few minutes, yet not palcing a touch of food on our own plates. The result was a plateful of food for everyone! Si Hui was curious when I walked over, and then she realised that I was going there to serve her cause my arms were too short. Haha. We ate a choc cake which Si Hui and I snuck out to buy and we celebrated jy’s and Eunice’s bdaes! Almost everyone went to kc’s hse and I walked them to under kc’s flat where I bade goodbye. I wanted to stay but time tragically pulled me away. Sobsob
Jy leaves tml, 11.35pm.
Sheikh and me!! Really nice guy from RP!!
Shu Jun from SP! weees!
Min Li (NP) and Grace (ACJC), our beloved leader!!
