Home Sweet Home!

This blog post was supposed to be published a month ago.. Well, long story.. and I don't quite want to go into much of the details. Here's a brief overview:

Where's the directory?We need directions to get to the car *Hurry up! My feet's killing me*

It really felt great to be back. Nice comfy bed and best yet.. I can be mummy's little girl again. On the other hand, I miss studies already. Not a good idea to travel with large amount of cash with you. Tired of the 8-hours-flight, especially having the aisle seat and had to painstakingly get up since the passenger beside needs a leak every once in a while. Go easy on the beverages, will ya? Sheesh!

Had a really really enjoyable time on my birthday this year. Astonishedly, it was held at GreenBox Sogo.. Thanks a lot to Fei Yih, Sasha, Yen Yung, Siew Fong, Ying Yee, Wai Wah, Tze Yang, Lee Teng, Jade Tao and the others who came. Initially a surprise party until boy boy decided to come clean with me and spill the beans about the surprise. I did make a fuss over it and threw my tantrum on him. At this point, I'd like to apologize to him for everything I've done. Boy boy, thank you very much for planning the party for me and for the marble cheese cake. Sorry you had to put up with my mean pettiness.

Thank you so much bb (p/s: I Lurve You)

On the morning of my birthday, I got an unexpected 'present'. I got registered post informing me that I need to serve the national service and to report at camp when the week is out. I was dumbfounded and speechless. I wasn't ready for all this yet; having to leave my family and especially boy boy just when I dreaded to spend more time with them. What's the point of complaining, blame it on my dumb luck! Luckily for me, boy boy was familiar with the area and accompanied me in search of the location, not to mention through the medical checkups as well. I really appreciate it bb! I would be utterly devastated if it weren't for you. Mwaxx~

BB: I bet you'd become charcoal black piggy after 2 months

GG: Fret not! I have my trusty sunblock.

Don't even think of dumping me using that reason.

BB: Haha XD.. I won't

The bridge leading to the girls' dormitory

(BB: If boys try to trespass, they will cut the bridge. )

(GG: *Bewildered* Serious?!)

The corridor outside our dorm. Sheer serenity.

Interior. It looks clean, doesn't it?

(Looks can be deceiving)

Mum, bro and boy boy fetched me there the afternoon on 6 July Sunday and left late in the evening. I know they were worried about me so I acted casual to lessen their worries. Nonetheless, I missed them terribly already on the very first night.

In a nutshell, the schedule laid out for the day starts with:

5am Rise and shine



6 March out to the open for flag-raising ceremony & Marching



7:30 Early breakfast



8 Assemble and get ready for class



10:30 Elevenses then continue class



12:3opm Lunch then sport activities



2:30 Beverage refreshments provided then continue activities



4:30 Afternoon tea



6:30 Dinner



10:30 Supper



11 Turn in

I only had a 2-day experience living in camp following the full-day schedule, so basically what I learned was that the early bird gets the worm and that you can accomplish a lot if you had planned the day carefully. The most annoying drawback to the whole camp schedule is that they need to assemble everyone for at least 4-5times to check for decampment and use up a painstakingly long time at it. Is it that hard to have head counts for 190 people?

Following 2 days, my parents fetched me back from camp as I was not suited for any of the strenuous exercise. The funny thing to note was that most of the staffs there know me and especially boy boy as he really cared for me all the while I was in camp. He brought the necessary stuff that I needed as soon as he possibly can and helped keep in touch with my mum.

Boy boy. Thanks a lot for everything!!
