| Kusu island today.
Sad that Sheryle couldn't come!  But my mood got better after awhile.
My first experience working as a/an (uncertified) lifeguard, sshhh. Grouped up with Derrick, Murry & Xin Ni. Took the ferry to Kusu island, and goodness the next thing we knew when were being assigned our duty, we had to take the ferry back to the pier >.< I felt a tweeny weeny uncomfortable during the boat ride =/ So we just helped to support the passengers out and into the ferry, esp the elderly and the young kids.
I was kinda expecting something more from this trip, probably something more exciting? To my dismay, i felt that it got a tad boring after sometime. Probably because there weren't many people to look out for during the low tide. However, I think our "picnic" or potluck thing was nice enough.  We were prepared, with so many chips, sandwiches, muffins and water! The muffins from Rong Bao were nice! I ate so many! (Y)
We took a lot of photos! YAY! I got to touch a starfish again after so many years haha! And the group of us just talked and laughed at the tower for the last few hours. We've got the Lovers, haha! Promoters for Mister Pringles (Y) Derrick and Jomain wanted to scare Xin Ni and myself but opps, plan failed. YAY ^^ Kinda tired even though we didn't do much except to slack/enjoy. --- Saturday's trng was pretty nice. At least i felt that it wasn't that bad. We had a mini competition towards the end! That was EXCITING! Super high! Capsized thrice while doing canoeing >.< the waves were really strong eeeeks. haha. I was actually feeling a lil scared out there after capsizing twice, and bam another time >.<
Rushed off to meet some sec sch prefect mates for ACS Carnival. Took many photos too! Nai-koi-Gata was super yummy! (some fried quail egg thingy) Saw quite a number of familiar faces. We just went there to eat, haha. Or rather it was me, cuz I kinda settled my lunch + dinner there. Seeing the primary school boys selling stuffs was quite a comical sight. It reminded me of the Primary 6 fair that I had in P6. Haha. (popcorns ftw!) Walked around, then homed. Nice time to eat, talk and laugh

| Zoom, and Week 4 is coming to an end = MSTs are approaching! All of us, girls, received a white rose from Elrica today! Sweet thing, thanks! (jia you for A's alright!) Class had a mini birthday celebration for all the Nov babies. The cake had the Bang Deli smell, lol. The whole celebration was quite a funny affair: candle flame kept blowing off,cutting cake time. KH's expression was comical. Very soon, the cake smearing thingy started. Although I don't really fancy the idea of having cake on my face, it was actually fun to see almost everyone either dodging/running away or trying to smear cake on the other person's face. And, I couldn't bear to smear cake on dear Charlotte, haha...so you were really lucky!  Today's Microbio pratical was pretty tedious but it was kinda enjoyable too, to be able to find and focus the various bacteria. 3 hours of observing microbes isn't siao man! It's actually, very nice (though my eyes gets a tad tired sometimes) I enjoy doing staining! Crystal violet, Iodine, Safranin, gram pos/gram neg etc. And I must say that the bunsen burner in the lab is way cool.  It uses infra-red. Gone are those that we use in secondary school, which is much scarier than the ones now. I got to see the germs growing in my mouth, haha! &, Staphylococcus aureus is found in our pimples, eeek! Few days back, we did blood smear for cell bio practical. Another interesting thing! Charlotte donated her blood, thx man! On the other hand, I had a hard time squeezing out her blood:x So far lessons have been good but bio modules are really heavy loaded. Tons of information to be memorised. I'm amazed by how we were taught 1 chapter of cell bio in just a day  thankfully the recap questions helped (Y) A few homework this weekend. Hopefully some revision will be done. --- Yesterday's trng was AHHHH >.< (just the running part) but the sprints felt good! ---
Trng tmrw.
Kusu Island on Sunday! | | |
| 
 In the end, the 4 of us big girls didn't prepare any food. Mummy did everything,  3 cheers for Mummy! It's been ages since we had a family day out! I didn't bring any notes out to study, and I'm glad I abolished the thought of bringing because it's suppose to be a famiy day out! Just fun! Even Amanda said, "don't wear school shirt, it's suppose to be a family day jie, no school shirt!" The picnic was a very simple affair! Hotdogs, bread, cheese, ham! And, like what Mummy said, whenever we go out, it's as though we are moving house, haha! (because the amount of things that we need to bring is just, alot) Headed down to Upper Pierce Reservoir, our usual place! Just hanged out there, enjoying Mother Nature, relaxed, ate (alot), monkey-watched. This Sunday's well spent! | | |

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill --- It's gonna be us when the seniors leave. And I think, it's either a make it or break it thing. I did my own reflection regarding today's debrief. I have to train myself to be stronger, mentally and physically. Negative thoughts, shoo. | | |
| After much contemplation, I decided to not go for trng today. It's always like this, I take so long to make a decision and when I finally make my decision, it (always) tends to be a no. zzz.
Monsoon season is here~ I like it whenever it rains, without any lightnings and thunders that is. Lightnings = >.< The long lunch break was made fun when Charlotte, Celine & I started to play some games! 
Stayed back with Charlotte to study a little before heading off to meet Mummy & Ariel. Mummy knows me super well! The first thing that she did when I saw the both of them, Ariel lifted up 2 plastic bags and tadah: PEARL RED TEA! Instant joy man, whoo! We went to visit ah gong! I'm glad that ah gong is discharged (thank God for that) and he's well and healthy! Good good! I think ah gong is cute in his own way, "oh curry pok ah" Homework for today's done (Y) --- I'm in a fight not physical
And I'm in a war
But not with this world
You are the light that's beautiful
And I want more
I want all that's Yours
Joy unspeakable that won't go away
And just enough strength
To live for today
So I never have to worry
What tomorrow will bring
'Cause my faith is on solid rock
I am counting on God
I am counting on
I am counting on God
The miracle of Christ in me
Is the mystery that sets me free
I'm nothing like I used to be
Open up your eyes you'll see
