ok i need to get down on blogging, or my backlog will extend into the milky way.

sunday. GEMS #2.

we are one of the few lucky classes who got to go on a 2nd GEMS, because we were so thrifty the first time round where we had barely used a quarter of the money allocated for class enrichment. more amazingly, we didn't even use up the remaining funds after GEMS #2, i think. kudos to the awesome budget!! i think thrift is the way to go, so we don't have pay up to the class fund so frequently. it's emptying most of our pockets so quickly, it's scary. so jiayou, whoever's managing the finances (:

anyway, we went cycling at east coast park. the guys directed us to a cycling shop at area e which charges a higher price that the one we usually go to at area c. but since the school is paying and we won't get to split the leftover funds over anything else (like class dinner, etc.), forget it (: another good thing about it is that it's nearer to changi, so we actually managed to reach changi and watched planes take off!! then come back in time to return the bikes, despite my numerous accidents and delays :x initially elizabeth and i didn't know that that was singapore's beloved changi airport. all we saw was an endless stretch of green fence. was there barbed wire? i can't remember but there should be, because we thought it was changi prison, or any other military camp that needed such tight security. it was only after 10 minutes of cycling along this green defence line, that we begin to see huge white vehicles that i barely made out to be planes (: then we watched the whole process of how a lufthansa plane take off. it was especially noisy, cos we were standing very near to the exact spot where the plane lifted itself off the ground. but the sight was so majestic, i dare say i felt a sense of exhilaration when it took off and headed towards the azure blue sky. i've been wanting to go on a lufthansa airplane for a long time. seriously, i must get on one when i've the means to!

after that comes the epic part. elizabeth called the guys to ask them where they are, and we found out that they were very near changi. so we were contemplating on whether to wait or to turn back and cycle till we meet them. that was when i declared that: if i made a u-turn here, i'll definitely head down straight into the drain. then 5 minutes later, we were cycling back when we saw the guys, jinfaye and yingyan. at that point, it was like a premonition come true. i've no idea why i did that but by the time i realised it, it was too late. the sentence was past. i went straight down with the bike into the drain. my tummy hit the concrete so hard, it hurt so badly and i couldn't speak for a minute or two. and then there were red ants crawling all over and biting me. pain :// despite that, i thought i had escaped unscathed until they helped me up onto the pavement and i realised i had cuts and bruises everywhere. :/ but fortunately, they were pretty minor. and i'm lucky enough not to break anything! ((: OH and according to elizabeth, russell scraped his knee in the process, because he fell off his bike when he saw me fall. his injury is worse than mine though my accident looked near-fatal. LOL. actually i won't have known what to do if not for our class people's help. doubt i can get the bike back up without falling in again :x thanks russell and everyone there! i really appreciate it (:

of course, the precarious journey didn't end there. i was infested with ants (which i think was 50% imagination and 50% real :p) and had to keep shaking and pinching them off on the way back to the bike shop. OH and i hit a kerb when doing a 90-degree turn, and almost flew a few inches with the bike :DD this is more fun than roller-coaster!!

after that we gathered at the beach. beehoon is scared of sand. that's ok, but it's really shocking to find out that she's never touched sand before, or did she only touch it once in her life? whatever the case, it's equally astonishing. HAHA our classmates are full of surprises (: then vanessa dropped her carrot cake on the sand. when they tried to clear it up, they swiped a lot of sand along with it into the styrofoam box. wan chu said it looked like mua chee and russell said "so nice". HAHA. then i think i played tic tac toe with him. and when he lost, he paused for quite a while and then said "oh i lost". lol russell and his dry humour. he's really like a big friendly giant (:

dinner/supper at macs. we found out that the biskering pair, kaiyun and yunhao, collects the monopoly stickers from macs! kaiyun received 2 red stickers and was only short of "shenton way", before she can enter the lucky draw for a laptop. that'll save her 2 years, since she was planning to save up enough for a notebook in 2 years. cosmic irony can really make a fool of people sometimes. it turned out that only yunhao had that fateful "shenton way" piece, who insisted on splitting the prize. but how to split a laptop? so kaiyun was resigned to collecting the last piece by herself :/

today was fun on the whole, despite the numerous accidents :p but i think i slowed everyone down by A LOT today. sorry! and thanks.

i love our class :D
