OVE and First day of School

wanted to post about OVE a long time ago.. but my lappie dont give me 'face' so i cant blog.. sianz.. now blogging in school comp lab while waiting for dinner appointment.. haha..

OVE turned out to be fun, as opposed to wat i thought.. is the ppl tat make it so enjoyable..

we went to stay with some families in a slum/village area.. we were supposed to help them build houses.. well, we did, but we just did the carrying and saikang.. didnt really get to build, unless helping in mixing the cement counted.. hahahah.. had a lot of soft drinks in those 2 days.. usually i dont like soft drinks but those 2 days, drank alot.. the weather bah.. haha.. and the soft drinks are cheap there.. no wonder most of the kids there have spoilt teeth..

the next 2 days, we spent interacting with the children.. played with them, teach them stuff, etc etc.. I LOVE CHILDREN!! wohoo~~ kids r all so adorable.. ohhh.. how i missed some of them.. Elmer and Jeremy.. the 2 kids tat i like most.. and Jeremy like to bite my fingers.. haha..

after the slum/village area, we stayed at this hotel.. nice and big.. a bit waste of money though cos i think can squeeze in more ppl per room.. but we didnt.. haha.. its okay, cos at least we can have 2 nights of good rest!! haha..

we did visit one of the old folks home and a place for the blind ppl.. didnt do much there except for visiting only.. i think we can do much more than just visiting.. hahah..

did some shopping there too.. bought a shorts, a t-shirt and a bag.. all for only S$8.00.. cheap right.. haha.. there was this craze about Krispy Kreme.. most of us bought a lot.. hahah.. cheap too!! wohoo~~ doughnuts fever..

one thing to note is tat Philipinos like to eat meat.. hardly can get vegetables to eat there.. all those carnivoures out there can move to Philippines.. hahah.. and i think i grew fatter at the end of OVE.. hahah..

get to know more ppl.. get to know more interesting ppl to be exact.. haha.. Linda, Kelvin, Jeremy (not the one tat bit my fingers), Ian, Kian Boon, Jing Min, Weiching, Ming Yang, Kar Kei, Serene.. haha.. all fun ppl to be with.. not forgetting those friends in Philippines also.. but then, kinda hard to keep the friendship going through long distance.. but can try.. =)

well, today was the first day of school.. my final year le.. a bit sad.. *sigh* dont want to graduate so fast.. hope can get at least a 2nd upper.. well, today only got 1 hour of lecture.. haha.. going to change my timetable a bit.. wanted to drop some subject and take others.. okay, going to nua a bit first before going to eat with friends..

Back!!

whooosh~~

i'm back from Philippines!! got mixed emotion regarding the OVE trip.. shall blog about it next time, when i'm not tat sleepy and also when i got the photos... hahah

shall go to sleep now..

COR '07: Learn Without Boundaries, Give Without Condition

back from COR '07 yesterday.. still haven unpack yet.. *darn* got a lot of clothes to wash.. how i wish i'm back home now.. then my mom will wash for me.. hahah..

Learn Without Boundaries
a few new experiences this year.. got memorable one got not so good one..
1. journey by train is not easy.. avoid the seats near the cabin doors.
2. sleeping in cave was okay lah.. beware of jutting rocks.. alot of ppl snores in their sleep..
3. crawling in caves was not easy.. luckily, i'm slim enuf to go through.. haha.. nature is amazing.. natural rocks can form shape of ostrich, frog, dicipline teacher, merlion, prata, guy and gal on chair, eagle, monalisa..
4. tried abseiling, rock climbing and flying fox in secondary school before, but still enjoyable..
5. first time do river crossing.. fun!!! no much chance to do tat..
6. canopy walk, it confirmed my phobia, scared of height!!

Give Without Condition
not only towards the beneficiaries, but also towards the most-taken-for-granted-ppl, aka your friends.. i had learn more about my RSPHI friends!! can confirm one thing also.. they r a bunch of nice and fun loving ppl!! wohoo~~ more bonded?? hahha.. *damn gay lah*

the whole trip was fulfilling.. i think it was better than last year COR.. mainly due to i'm more involved this year though i'm just a subcomm/normal volunteer compared to last year where i'm the main commer/chief interpreter..

i think my signing improved a lot since last year COR.. can terp better.. but cannot complacent.. must work harder.. i'm aspired to be a fully certified interpreter!! wohoo~~

though this year COR was fun, there were certain things tat i dont really like about it.. sorry in advance to the COR comm ppl.. i think the cross-dressing pageant and the tao-pok session is not really suitable.. before i start commenting, i must give credit, both the pageant and the tao-pok was indeed fun.. i enjoyed it.. but then i cannot see the benefits of these 2 programmes.. the cross-dressing provide good laugh and sheer fun, but i think it is not very nice to have since we have children and beneficiaries.. i dont think it is a good example.. the tao-pok session was fun too, but i find it a bit violent.. also not good to do tat in front of children and beneficiaries..

there were things tat happen tat made me very angry too.. fuming.. but i'm okay now, just tat my impression on tat person not tat good anymore, well, not tat it was very good to start with.. hahah..

then again, i must comment on WS!! he is darn responsible throughout the camp.. if you're going to find someone tat is most concerned about the beneficiaries' welfare, tat will be WS.. i think he was worried about the beneficiaries all the time.. i can see tat sometimes the other main commer also neglect the beneficiaries.. WS won the most-responsible-main-commer award given out by the Edmund's Annual Award for the Volunteers.. sorry to TL, MT, YX, Des, Pat, i'm not saying tat you guys not good, just tat WS was better or at least i cant see you guys in action.. hahah.. try again next time yeah..

i also realise tat i really really like social work alot.. maybe i can give up my ambition of being a teacher and be a social worker instead.. hahahha..

will be back to update on other stuff next time.. chiao.. =P

The way overdue, Langkawi trip.. haha

hahah.. Joanne reminded me tat i haven post about my Langkawi trip here.. hahah.. so i'm gonna cut and paste from GAGAGUGU blog.. hahah.. lazy want to write again.. here goes...

"

yoz.. finally, i'm going to update the Langkawi trip!! just got the pictures from my sister.. but those tat i got r limited.. most is with YX and WS..

sit back, relax and enjoy the chio-ka-pengz entry on the Langkawi!! this entry is based on my memory.. some are extracted from the journal we wrote (which will be in italic)..

where should i start?? so many things to write.. haha.. cos too many things happened le.. LOL

Day 0.. the most memorable will be the Kenny Rogers' macaroni cheese.. cos when it came, it was cold, thus YL snapped her fingers to get the waitress attention.. well, we managed to get another bowl of hot macaroni cheese, but we suspected it got special seasoning, the saliva!! *eww* cos very watery.. we ate it anyway.. haha.. do we look like we will waste food??

Kenny Rogers - RM25.00
YL's expression - Priceless
For everything else, we have Mastercard (as if, wait nong nong lah)

the whole trip to Langkawi was not easy.. 10++ hours of bus ride.. i think my butt flat liao!! arrgghh.. the "sampan" (said by Pat) got aircon de!! actually not sampan lah.. is a ferry.. about 45 mins of ferry ride bah.. wohoo~~ the sun, the sea and the beach!!

the very first thing we did at Langkawi was to eat lunch.. haha.. a bit ex though.. well, tourist attraction places are like tat.. next stop was the Four Season Hotel!! haha.. we are not tat rich to stay there!! just passing by only.. and we "sneak" (i think we 'guang ming zhen da' lor) into their private beach.. nice and quiet place.. but YL complained tat there was no hunk at the beach.. haha.. of course we kena chased away lah, cos is a private beach mah.. boohoo~~ thus we went back to our own resort with our own beach too!!!

YL: No pretty babe at the beach de.
YX: When we go down there got liao lor.
All: Laugh
YL: Then I dont want to be in the same group as u all.
YX: Ok lor, 2 of us 'jiu hao'
WS: No no, 1 sinseh, 1 babe, 1 dinosaur
YX: Ok, at least I'm considered as one! woohoo~~

a whole afternoon at the beach with volleyball, frisbee and suntanning.. YL still not tanned after at whole afternoon suntanning.. hahah.. she said one word "气".. haha.. all the sports sure make us hungry!! the COCO Beach Seafood Restaurant.. the food okay!! nice view too.. outdoor dining.. not bad!! fish, crab, prawn!! ooolaalaa~~

YOULI LOVES ******* *** *** (***)

Did i mention we went pubbing?? haha.. went to this Irish Pub.. nice and cosy.. very friendly waiter and lady boss.. of course at the pub must drink lah.. cocktails!! various cocktails!! cannot remember the name liao.. haha.. we played 'asshole tai-di' there.. haha.. after playing like dont know how many round le, we realise got missing cards.. haha.. heck, continue playing.. LOL

2nd day!! WS, Pat and YL 'hou high' ar!! early in the morning went swimming in the pool.. me and YX preferred the bed.. haha.. YX really sleep like a log.. haha.. buffet breakfast was waiting for us though.. i went in the earliest.. haha.. dont want to lose out mah.. but the buffet is okay only lah.. not really very fantastic.. but at least can fill our stomach!! hahah..

went for cable car ride.. and i'm scared of height!! my legs went wobbling.. nothing up at the moutain.. but got very nice scenery!! ooolaalaa~~ can touch the cloud too!!

waterfall was next.. nice view.. very cooling water on a hot sunny day.. "shiok ah!" was the first reaction from WS! and YX fell down here.. well, not a serious fall.. just a slip i think.. haha.. we all a bit dumb.. we all stand and sit at the rocks to sun ourselves dry cos we all forgot to bring extra set of clothes.. haha..

WS: If you regret for wetting yourself from dipping, RM20 is yours. (talking to Pat and YL)
Pat, YL: WE REGRET! (wat a Peng You!!) *giggle*

intended to go to the Korean Restaurant next to our resort.. but it looked very suspicious and the whole building very 'lok kok'.. went to this middle eastern restaurant instead.. had this bread thingy which we all forgot the name.. hahha..

well, of course the middle restaurant was not filling.. second stop for dinner will be Jap food!! Unkaizan, (雲)云海山. but Pat read as 雪梅山 because of the traditional chinese writing.. chui leh Pat..

the food was darn nice lah.. service ichiban too!! salmon, chicken teriyaki, soba, vegetable tempuras, steam eggs, miso soup.. ooohlaaalaaa~~ i believed is the best Jap food i ever ate so far!!

ohh.. as we passed by this restaurant called Fat Mum, YL called Pat "Fat Mum".. haha.. then i'm called PapaDum (PapaDumb) cos there is an indian restaurant called Papadum..

Huan: Papa not dumb
YX: Then mama dumb
Huan: No, mama not dumb, mama fat (referring to Pat)
*Pat gives killer stares* YL: Fat mum!!
YL was either very brave or she was suicidal.. hahha..

oh.. we managed to get back to the resort, in 1 piece.. YL's dangerous driving.. almost knocked into another car cos she didnt check the other side of the road!! scary.. no more YL's driving.. banned!!

2nd night, we went for the pub in the resort.. ordered a bottle of white wine.. RM40.. darts and 'asshole tai-di' again.. hahah.. Huan called Pat "crab" when we returned to the room after drinking.. Pat asked if she's as tanned as a Malay.. Huan exclaimed she's as red as a lobster.. "No wonder I called you crab".. Huan was DRUNK!! Pat gave a huge whack with pillow.. Huan panted very hard.. OMG!! "No exercise after drinking wine!".. chio-ga-pengz!!

YL & her secret lover theme songs!!
YL: Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me"
*******: A little bit of ***m*n* in your life, a little bit of me in your life, a little bit of ** is all you need. A liitle bit of t*r***z make me your man!!

we realised tat Pat has talent in TCM.. she found the 笑穴 for YX.. guess where is it?? very well hidden de.. once pressure is exerted through her thick rebonded hair, YX will laughs in a weird way & she rolled off the queen size bed!! chio-ga-pengz

3rd day was for island hopping!! we chartered the whole boat to ourselves!! foohoo~~ but before that we had to resort to various method to wake YX and YL up.. tickling & foot massage!! Pregnant Maiden Lake. Legend has it tat ladies tat bath in there will sure get pregnant!! heng ar.. none of the 3 girls went in for a dip, else me and WS have to be responsible.. it is a very big lake, can swim, paddle some boats, soak your feet and let fishes nibble.. we didnt stop her for long.. cos nothing much to do..

Eagle feeding was next!! the boatman brought us to this place where we can watch eagle.. initially we wanted to skip this but luckily didnt.. there r really a lot of eagles there.. very majestic..

Pulau Beras Basah - literal translation will be Wet Rice Island.. was supposed to snorkle here.. but ended up cannot.. a bit disappointing.. still it was great fun here!! the sun, the sea and the beach!! foohoo~~ swam the whole afternoon.. halfway, suddenly all the ppl gone, only left the 5 of us.. became like our own private island like tat.. haha.. ohh.. we managed to teach YX how to swim.. LOL.. but she took advantage of Pat.. while Pat teaching, she touch her and hug her very very tight.. hahah..

i guess everyone was addicted to swimming.. when back from island hopping, we continue swimming in the pool in the resort.. then we realise YX is Godzilla's relative.. she is Pui-zilla.. she will pui 口水.. haha.. Pat and WS were the victim of her saliva!!

how can we leave out food right.. food is our life!! haha.. Tepanyaki for the last night in the resort!! hahah.. we waited like till 9++ pm then can eat.. wah.. almost fainted due to hunger.. hahah.. the beef and the fish was nice.. the rest was a bit too salty.. is it the Langkawi style tat it is salty?? hahah.. maybe.. another bottle of wine!! this time is red wine.. *ahem* we are not alcoholic!! hhahah.. happy occasion mah.. so must enjoy lah..

we had mask on for the last night.. after all the sun and the sea.. must pamper our face back.. hahha.. =P

last day was just cruising around in the car.. when to this place with lots of yatch.. haha.. YL, when u gonna get one?? LOL whoever tat get a yatch must invite us okay!! hahah.. had our lunch there too.. at this USSR restaurant.. not bad food!! hahah..

ohh... we missed the timing when we were on the trip back.. got onto a later ferry and in the end missed our bus back.. *arrgghh*.. chui.. wasted the bus ticket money.. no choice lor.. have to buy another one.. ohh.. and during last day, Pat a bit sick.. haha.. but okay lah.. i think is the sun, hot and the water cool, hot and cool.. then later sick.. hahah..

did i miss out anything?? i think i missed out alot of things leh.. it seems alot of things happen.. but how come this entry only so short?? hmmm.. YX, YL, Pat, WS, add in if i missed out anything.. hehehe.. everyone else, envious?? haha.. you all can organise again.. i dont mind going again.. but i want to stay Four Season Hotel!! hahah..

New Year's Eve @ Airport

wohoo~~ (i think i'm addicted to this word!!)

not only i spend a very different Christmas Eve, i also spend a very different New Year's Eve!!

as usual, outing with RSPHI ppl always involved food!! this time was no exception also!! food adventure from morning till night!!

first stop was the famous Nasi Lemak @ ChomPang, but unfortunately, it was not open (due to Hari Raya Haji)... but tat dont dampen us!! there were plenty of other good food around there.. muahahahah.. had some hong kong style 'chee chuong fen', kop some dessert and curry rice from friends.. hahah..

second stop was prata @ Casuarina Road.. yup, i was opened!! the prata was not bad!! the place looks very nice for a prata house too!! recommended!! had egg prata, sup kambing and my fav Neslo!! =)

wanted to eat the AJ- ice-kachang @ AMK central.. but unfortunately, they dont sell AJ-ice-kachang anymore.. so sad!! =( instead, ate some 'sesame paste'.. my friend got this cold oo-nee.. which was so hard and difficult to play.. so we ended up playing with the oo-nee.. had some laughter trying to give new name to our creation!! LOL

dinner time!! dinner @ Bedok.. dont know exactly where the place is, cos i just followed my friend!! hehehe.. this was where all the fun began!! not only the food, but also did some alot of crazy stuff!! but lets talk about food first.. ikan bakar, otah, stir-fried sotong, chicken wings, hokkien mee, oyster omelette and sugar cane drinks!! yum yum!!

alright, wat r those crazy stuff tat we do?? we were playing "Jing Zhi Yu Nie".. we were trying to be like those concubine in the palace, trying to fight each other (aka trying to each as much as possible).. hahah.. and it lasted till the airport!!

well, how often do u countdown @ airport?? for me, tat was my first time!! actually, kinda lots of ppl there too.. we reached airport, walk around abit and waited for the countdown!! followed by games of Boogle!! my fav game also.. playing with friends r much better than playing with your *much* younger cousins and newphew/niece.. more challenging, more fun!! i cant believe tat we played Boogle almost the whole night!! of course got some chit-chatting, eating and fooling around also lah...

such a memorable countdown!! i wonder if things will be the same again for the coming New Year's Eve?? hope it would be the same!!

PS - sorry, no photos!! all of the photos r with my friends!! wait till i get it first then i upload here.. but i do have 2 video clips of me though.. will upload to youtube and post the links soon!! hehe
