So, I woke up from my richly satisfying nap.

Anyway, the nap was richly satisfying because I had a very bad sleep last night. I was having some recurrent dream which I cannot remember, other than the fact that I was in a place surrounded by water and more water. Everytime I woke up, and went back to sleep, the same scene would come back. I told Kaihong about it in chinese class, and I think Elgin and Douglas heard. And of course, Duck just had to made a lewd comment about me having wet dreams. What on earth lar ok? Perv. Anw, I just digressed. Back to my point.

So, I woke up from the richly satisfying nap, and asked myself: Should I go back to school? For the mid-autumn celebration? The I looked up, and the black clock told me it was 1845. So much for going back to school. By the time I reach the celebrations would have started, so no point. stay at home bah.

anw, today was a largely frustrating day. Firstly, as mentioned above, I had a really really horrible sleep. Secondly, I skipped recess to finish up the physics spa graph. thirdly, the graph was so annoying. Fourth, I was hungry because I skipped recess. Fifth, I took out my phone...and lo and behold...well...shan't say nothing here...Sixth, a glimpse of Sucky Friend made my blood boil. Seventh, hearing unnecessary sounds coming from people who are attention-deficient. Eight, extra chem lesson when everyone else went home. Ninth, tenth, eleventh, and so on and so forth... is the same as one of the above reasons. Can you guess?

Anw, sorry if I annoyed/scared/frightened anyone due to my moodiness/=

But the girls made my day better because of the insane conversation over lunch at kfc. meltz made me so much happier. looking at pretty watches and window-shopping made me happier too. But....well...But...nevermind.

"nevermind" is all that's going through my head.

The moon is not very round tonight.

I am damn DAMN, I repeat, DAMMMMMNNNNN annoyed with technology.
I know, I know, and yet I'm blogging here.

I'm abstaining from going online until Friday.
And by that, it means, no blogging, no MSN no nothing, nadah. zilch. pffft.
except maybe music.

Busy as hell every week.
Killllllll me.
Lucky school is fun.

Today during english class: Advertisements/ Persuasive techniques.
Our group (Me, Xinyu, Christine, Sam, Jeremy, Cheekit) was promoting Black Eyed Peas concert and it was so funnnnnnnayyyyyy. and impromptu. I loved the last part where we suddenly "NONONONOOOOOO DON'T PHUNK WITH MY HEART" and Cheekit did a serie of strange movements. I guess it was quite shocking since before that sentence we were keeping absolutely quiet, using silence as a technique. rawr.

after school, xinyu and I went grocery shopping like the aunties that we are.
we bought. alot. of. food.
muahaha.

ok shall stop here. then rest. then revise revise revise.
logged on to exams mode already.

Boohoo.

I don't know why it is so difficult to tie my hair properly recently.
Hate. Hate. Hate.

The other computer is not working! No matter how many times I try to update what driver install wad shit unplug and replug whatever cables connect reconnect I still can't get that stubborn piece of metal to access the net!
(insert choice of vulgarity)

have been eating mum's yam cakes for the past few days for breakfast, and I'm like so addicted to them. But my stomach can't take oily stuff in the morning...so yeah...you can imagine what phenomena my bodily functions are creating. oops.

random thought "I miss Kinabalu. I miss Trekkers Lodge!"

But I shan't keep going on about it, no matter how much I loved time spent there.

So...today's oral presentation went well. I remembered everything that I wanted to say, so thats cool(: My mouth was really really really dry after going on and on about the whole story thing// oh well life goes on.

and indeed it does, cos I dunno how Limin's super attention grabbing yellow umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh~) broke when I didn't even actually use it. It broke when I was nearing my house. I'm sorry Limin. Please forgive me? How ah...

Bah, and I just came back from my appointment. Have to go for CT scan next wednesday and then another doctor's appt on the 5th of oct. salivary stone salivary stone. I hope it's not anything more serious that that. ):

plus, before going to india I haffta have vacccinations. details are kinda vague. I hate needles!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I felt generous so I took what was left of the remaining milk chewies to school and gave it away! The chewies were from Uncle CM.. expensive, limited edition stuff from Hokkaido ok? Although Kaihong say they're 'alright'. Xinyu loved it too, and so did Samuel.

He was like : Where did you get those sweets from? The one you gave me this morning.
Me: errr. They're from Hokkaido.
Sam: Nooo..Ohhhh.. I thought you got it in SG...NOOOOOOO
Me: well I dunno maybe you can get it in SG.

fwah.
Was super duper tired in class. Slept through Physics and Mr Chan thought I was sick. Boo hoo.
CME was hilarious. Laughed til I felt like peeing, and time just flew by.
LIT test was kinda...messy...but nvrmind.

Odac was cool today. We did self-belay, and Pema got stuck. Mr Singh had to rescue himAnd the stupid guys were blaming me. AHEM. Had fun laughing with the girls over stupid stuff and stupid people and stupid incidents.. We have decided we all wanna be camp instructors when
we're slightly older. That way, can earn money and have fun!

Was supposed to study for chemistry test tommorrow. Just went through all the formulae, and couldn't bring myself to study more considering my current state of mind. So here I am, blogging this pointless post with overused words such as 'stupid'. Dang.

Ok, I'm off to work on my oral presentation slides. and then bed! Early! Or else!

HELLLLLO PEOPLE I AM BACK!

I'm so completely proud of myself and everyone of the sec3s.
This expedition was the toughest, most painful, most exhausting one ever, but we did well.
and the best thing is, we did it all together. I'm quite sure this is the greatest accomplishment so far in my whole (short) life. It seems kinda poitless to blog about this expedition in bits, according to what we did each day, because I see this one as a whole. (but maybe I'll do that later bah, 'cos there's so much to share)

This trip was by far the most excruciating, but it is my favourite and the best one so far. It made me realise just how much each and everyone of you guys meant to me...and I cannot believe this is the last expedition together for us all, but like the teachers say, the journey and the growing up doesn't stop here. We can go other places next year and torture oursleves, and then feel the happiness together.

We'll be able to revist the feeling of pushing one another to the very top...
Laughing together...
Singing together..
Complaining together..
Breathing the thin mountain air together..
getting affected by the altitude together..
feeling the tightness in our muscles together..
scream from our poor defenceless kneecaps together..
make 'music videos' while climbing down from the hostel stairs and hearing our legs crack..
raft the white waters of some great river together..
teasing one another about nosebleeds/flirting/being smelly/curly eyelashes etc..
hearing the guys make sexist comments..
the feeling of being dirty...
enduring the sticky sticky type of feeling..
having lip cracks..
disturbing the teachers..
playing card games in all types of conditions: smelly shaking train, floor of the gals dorm, plane, bus etc....
staying up til late in the morning to talk talk talk our hearts out..
thereby getting only about 3 or 4 hours of sleep every night..
laughing with and at the teachers..
feeling heck care when Mr R and Mr S chide us for going to KFC to eat..
laughing at the two of them for tracking down a prata shop with a GPS device..

doing great things together..

all three teachers have talked about how much we have grown and matured throughout the years..we now make such a great team of whacky and wonderful characters, and I know (just like how the teachers and everyone of us know) that we can achieve so much as a team. I was practically gonna cry during day 3's reflection session, when I mentioned that if I had to go through this much torture, this bunch of people are the ones I want to go through it with all over again, because they are the ones who truly, truly know what all this feels like.

Of course, we all miss some important people back at home, ( I missed alot of special people while I was away) and it feels good to be back here.

And as an anti-climatic, non-dramatic way of ending this...
I feel like going to sleep again 'cos of sheer exhaustion, and I'll be back hopefully with pictures to share a most beautiful story.
