Hey everyone :)


I'm in my dad's house in Jordan and i wish i had a house like this is spore. :( It's sooo pretty and there's a garden with a lime tree and orange trees cause the landlady loves gardening. The landlord & landlady live upstairs and we get the whole downstairs for ourselves whee. I could get used to this :DDD


Egypt was totally like how suzhou was when i was a weenie little girl! Except i could read the signs in suzhou but i can't in egypt cause everything's in arabic. And egypt is real sandy not like suzhou which is erm not sandy. And the egyptians just look like malays so it didn't feel very foreign country-ish there.

Think the great pyramids of giza are in the middle of a desert far away from the towns and cities? Think again. I could just see them from my the hotel room window, which also means they're in the middle of the town, and not in the middle of a desert far away from the towns and the cities. You get the idea. It was kinda scary there not because of the curse or anything or the smell of camel poop but because of the camel owners and headdress salesmen there. Because of their kinda bad reputation, people are avoiding them like the plague and you can see how desperate they are to get you to buy their stuff or ride their camels. The headdress salesmen will say something like "This is a gift. You make a good arab!" and they'll put a headdress on your head which kinda means like SOLD! and you're stuck. Actually i kinda pity them cause my dad says in egypt the people don't earn much.

I didn't go inside the big pyramid (the giant triangular one) but i did go into the teenie deformed one because the entrance fee for the big one is 100 egyptian pounds = 20+ singapore dollars per person (!!!) and the entrance fee for the teenie pyramid was F.O.C.. The entrance was a tunnel like a slide down but with rungs and it was really steep so dong went down on her butt. Wasn't much inside just a stone room. And N.E.R.D was too tall so she also went down on her butt. WHOO! [And yes, she wrote those last two sentences.] (No I didn't!)

The sphinx was just the sphinx, nothing else to be said. Who says! It was BIG NICE AND SANDY!

I went to the supermarket last night! Gee that sounds weird. It was fun heh.

And last night i had a dream about school oh wow i actually dream about school! HURRY UP WILL YOU I NEED TO DO THE ELLLLLL BLOGSKIN! Anyways it was the 20th of december in my dream so reporting day was on the next day. I was in SPS but chewlin and brenda and jiaying and juliet and mrs wee were in my dream and i don't know why they were in SPS. I was kinda worried in my dream cause i didn't know what to do for reporting day. Chewlin and brenda and jiaying came in when i saw they were in aeroplane with no roof in the concourse and ready to go for an overseas school trip and juliet was telling me that the aeroplane was about to take off so i had to stand behind the yellow line. (Sounds familiar? And the funny thing is that there really is a yellow line at SPS to mark that no food was allowed beyond the yellow line:) After that i ate some rice for lunch from stall 2. As i was leaving the canteen i saw mrs wee and some other JPSLs at the learning circle and it turns out she was giving them a briefing on what to do for reporting day and what we were supposed to do was to wear our vests (which i haven't gotten yet in real life) and those black shoes for special occasions and i was thinking now how am i supposed to get them when reporting day is just tomorrow?!? And then chewlin and brenda and jiaying were waving to me from the plane that just took off. And then i woke up and realised that we were probably gonna be told what to do on reporting day during pre-orientation training and reporting day was NOT tomorrow so i relaxed.

(The writing in red is what nerd wrote.)

Guess where i'm at.
The free internet access station @ changi airport!
Bye:) The plane's gonna fly without me soon.

Did you know that i really, really, dread every single training? I'll be all whiney and sulky in the morning before training, and then during training, i'll be thinking to myself "This ain't so bad!". But no matter how many times i go through that dumb cycle, i still have the pre-training blues. Sad right?

There's one thing stuck in my mind right now.

Wanna guess what it is?

Ok here's a clue

E.

Here's another.

D.

And another.

W.

And another.

A.

If you are as obsessed with the series as i am, the answer would have just popped up in your mind when i gave the E away. For those poor deprived people who HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK *gaspgasp*, here's the answer:

E D W A R D C U L L E N

aka the vampire dude from Twilight. I don't know how Stephanie Meyer could make him so... ALIVE. I mean, people, or girls rather, all over the world are drooling over a non-existent character that only appears in text form. Maybe that's what makes her writing so great. And, try as i might, i just can't even IMAGINE how he looks but just READING about him makes him real enough. So real, yet so fake. As in so unbelievable. So unbelievably perfect.



Anyways i don't know what else to say and i don't want this post to get too embarrassing in an over-obsessed-fan way. So all i have to say is READ THE BOOK! And let yourself act like a daydreamy despo for awhile. It's alright. Me and the rest of the fan club would understand. :D

Guess who's back? Ahh this sentence is getting old.

Anyways genting was ok, not exceptionally fun, but ok. It's partially my fault because for some reason i decided to be super-emo those few days and i was like
h
g
i

then

and ah well i found the flashing lights all over the place in the indoor theme park both annoying and depressing. Annoying because they were FLASHING LIGHTS and depressing because, like the CMPS people say, they were SUCKING loads of electricity away. Nerd was super annoyed with me for being such a wet blanket on the first day, going : I feel so emo man! and whining and everything. I mean me, not Nerd.

And during the trip, i found out that i have a fear of _____. Maybe it comes with being in a girl's school. AND i also found out that i feel insecure when
#1 I'm walking first in the line
#2 I'm not holding anything
#3 My hair is not tied up and i'm not at home, even when my hair is neat
#4 I'm wearing that pink sweater i wore at PSLTC. Funny how i felt ok then, but not now.
I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with me though, i don't go nut when i'm not holding anything, i just don't feel safe. Maybe like how high S people need security all the time.

This is if i start blabbing about DISC stuff again. When i took the DISC test i was like OHWOW so fascinated so i guess i have to at least explain what i talk about to people who didn't take the test before because i think you're gonna have to bear a lot more of that stuff.
DISC are different personality styles and the DISC test shows you an analysis of your personality. I took one at I.O. and another more detailed one at PSLTC. Nerd took one just today for some career guidance thingy.
D= Dominant, direct, decisive
I= Influential, interactive, interested in people
S= Steady, stable, secure
C= Correct, controlled, compliant
Guess what i am!

12th of november= baking for the children's home
12th of november= facilitating foreign scholar's orientation
12th of november= i won't be able to attend both of the above because i have to go to genting
RAWR
Somehow i just don't wanna go to genting this year anymore. And i don't know why. :(

PSB is love

Someone's back from PSLTC! And it was superduperly fun and enriching. :D

First of all, i just want to apologise to all the peeple i tried to (key word: tried to. meaning not necessarily succeeding in) comfort after the EYAs. Because during the counseling training, Ms Rona Tan was telling us about how NOT to counsel, and i am very sorry to say that i have done a lot of those stuff, eg. talking more than the counsel-ee. Yupp so sorry if any of you guys feel worse after my 'counseling sessions'. I'm really really sorry.

Ok back to PSLTC. Like i said, it was really fun and i still got to learn new stuff. AND i got to make lots and lots of friends! Like my SHIPMATES:

Ship Ahoy

Brenda is the high D in the ship, so she volunteers a lot and lots of times she takes the lead and she is not shy to contribute to the ship! And she sings canto opera really well too!

ChewLin was the sensiblest and sanest person left after SerYee and Sam left. And she is a great emo-er during the performance. "And you, you're just a bimbo!"

Desiree was kinda not feeling well, but she still contributed loads to the ship during the camp and she always has ideas! And she was both insane and sane, and it's really hard to strike a balance between the two, you know!

Janne is nice and very obsessed with Violet! " If only Violet were here, she'll know what to do!" Just kidding, not really, that was just part of our concert item. And her name is super cute. [JAN-NE] Just like her!

JiaYing is very funny esp when there's Nadia or the red crossers around. No offense, i just found you guys really cute when you all greet her :) Not including Nadia, cos Nadia doesn't greet her.

Samantha is very sweet and nice and also a lil' bit shy. And even though she didn't take the DISC test, we think she's a C so yes, we need extremely sane people in the ship like her too!

SerYee, the poor girl was not here for part 2 but after meeting her during part 1 i got to know her as a quiet girl but also very nice!

Ah so that's about it, my wunderful shipmates in a nut shell, but no ship's complete without
Facils
and the ones that are in this particular ship happen to be

Becca is super nice and i think the white specs make her look very cute and now whenever i think of her my brain associates her with GREEN shorts haha. And she taught us the beep-beebep-beep-beep little game!

MeiJia, the funny girl who loves food but is super thin! And she hate hugs, bad move telling us that, because we decided to force her into a group hug during initiation and unfortunately for her she wasn't armed with a badge to poke us with. And she draws well too!

Sharon is superhuman to be able to be the camp commander but still pay us the attention we need. I think she'll make a fantabulous RICHARD capt cos she's so nice! And she's both sensible and funny!

And there are many other PSLs who i have made friends with like duh, and they are all super nice and without them, camp wouldn't be fun, because what camp where there are no people be any fun right? Thanks for being great PSB erm mates! And MOST MOST importantly we have to thank our wunderful SPSLs for organising this camp!!! And Ms Rona Tan for training us in very important stuff that if i had not learnt i would cause a lot of damage to my sec 1 class. (yikes!)

Thanks to JeanHui's tuition teacher's squash toilet story, now whenever i go to any toilet, i drag my sister along to stand outside. Haha no just kidding, but i get this creepy feeling whenever i go to a room with a mirror in it. ~.~

Can't wait for reporting day!
