okay... havent posted for 2 weeks now... hehe...
i went carolling on christmas eve... you know those kind where you go from house to house singing christmas arols... yeah... it was fun!
we visited very few houses this year, as compared to last chritmas'
we went to 3 and we stayed over at a friend's place...
played bridge for some part of that night(or should it be morning)
luckily i learnt it in chiangrai, otherwise i would'nrt have participated...
oh yah... we reached our resting place at 12.20am
we started carolling at 7.20pm on the eve of christmas

the past few days have been really hectic for me and most of the scouts
4 sec3s went to hong kong, so the work of building the structures for CCA orientation day
we went back on the 27th for a few hopurs with the intention to help council build a frame for the campfire...
only got to know of that task on the morning of 27th itself!!!
so frustrating!
den when we reached, i persuaded junle to use the metal frames available at the parade square instead
he agreed. fullstop
darn
so we spent the time doing some planning for the 29th

28th December 2006
went to school at 8am
darn didnt know it was the start of the orientation camp
the cars totally filled the parade square lah
how to build structure!
so we resorted to plan B
pre-make the freames for the structure and piece it together
never tried it before
it worked out pretty alright
just that we experienced difficulties piecing the stuff together
then the rain spoilt it all
it rained non-stop from 1.30 all the way till 6plus 7?
we were all soaked lah
only the sec3s and 4s went out in the rain to continue building
and when the wind blew, it was all chilly
we were practically frozen, i mean it
we could barly walk or stand without shivering like nuts
we completed the stuff at 8pm
thn went with kunny for dinner at 85 and then shopping for orientation stuff
reached home at 9.30, and then started writing the script for the next day's performance
slept at 12 after getting my uniform ready and stuff
den one stupid mosquito kept bugging me
so much that i went to the sofa to sleep!!!
darn, so i guess i truly slept only at 1am

29th Dec
reached sch at 6.20am
touched up on the structure, got the exhibits out and stuff
alright, then the real thing started
in between, i dunno what happened but two disastrous things happened to me
darn
1st is... zhanyi told me to touch the gas cylinder lighting the flourescent lamp
so i did
it was icy cold
then next, my index finger juz touched the top of the lamp
darn... it was stinging HOT!!!
my skin turned a funny yellow, then heat and pain settled in
luckily we scouts are always prepared for disasters
we got this pail of water nearby, i soaked my left hand into it
damn, it felt juz a lil better
a huge blister formed, and it grew biger as the day progressed...
man...
the next was this jump over the leg of our structure
i dunno how my leg got caught by the pole
the next moment, it wsas down on the floor
well not realy down lah, but almost down...
my right thumb scraped the floor, and blood
deep red blood
darn...
after all that, it was taking down of the CCA booth structure and building of the campfire structure
the design was great after it was all done up
suspension bridge... haha
and to think we completed within one afternoon
the 2007 sec1s were pretty uncertain and were shaky when climbing over it
mainly because of the sway of the bridge
didnt have dinner
campfire started late, and ended late
oh yah... when dr boon went over the bridge, she was holding our hands so tightly lah, and seemed like she wouldn't let go of mine until i said kunny was in front to help her walk thru the bridge.
i was helping her up the steps you see
everything ended at 12.20
CCP said he wanted to treat us to pizzas during the campfire, then at the end, he said it was too late, so no delivery at that kind of time
so we we went to 85 to have bak chor mee
typical
reached homke at 2am... took a cab back

30th Dec
i came to school at 12.20 to help untie the structure, but there was none for me to untie
lol
it was already taken down by the rest who had came earlier
i thought of catching up with come sleep
only 3 sec3s came, inc me
then 2 sec4s and 1 sec2
finished everything at 3plus, then had complementary lunch proviuded by sc
took home another 3 packets for dinner.
kunny did the sam, and jl took 1
we were actually allowed 2-3 packets each
but add on what we ate over there and each person actually got an avrg of 4 packets
haha
