This weekend had been AWESOME! One of those rare great weekends, no kidding, except for that 1 small part on Friday night, but even that had a sliver lining so it was not bad. Friday after school was spent at Edith’s workplace where we ate dinner then went to see doris lim and we were late, we arrived at MF at 8pm, Addie, Andreas, Vivian, Adeline were already there and the bloody principal didn’t turn up, instead Selva, Lee JY, Mdm Ng and the new guides teacher were there. How’s that for sincere huh? Still insisted on Friday night somemore. Anyway, they wanted a sliver for PNA by 2010, DREAMS 8(meaning DREAMS 6 and 7 first), more overseas expeditions, like 04’s Mawai and bring them to places like the Scout’s Jamborees overseas. 1 word-
UNREALIST. I mean they didn’t even want to go to Nat camp, what makes her think that they want to go to Jamboree? And sliver? They don’t even want to commit their Saturdays please. And she especially wants me to come back. What the shit. I’m so gonna drag Edith or Addie in with me if I do. I haven’t decided whether I’m coming back or not. I have till the 17th, that’s when CCA restart.
Camp was okay la, the only fun part was Sentosa. And
I MET SINGAPOREAN PEOPLE(it’s like seeing an oasis in the desert)! Ching, who’s in my group, Sharon, Madeline and Cailing. And Michelle, if you count the leaders, but I didn’t hang out with her la, mostly with the others.
On the night I came, we played a relay 1st, to get mentos out of the flour, from 2 sides, 1 side had to hop with garbage bags with mentos in their mouth to the other side and the other side had to hop with clothes on to other end. The last person had to wear all the clothes with mentos in his/her mouth and rush to 1 of the leader. HAHA. Clever me volunteered to be the last person, to do the hardest task. Then it was treasure hunt, nothing much to say about it, we got twisties though :) Then bath, then we talked and listened to music till 2-3am. I think that was the highlight of the day.
2nd day was spent waking up super early(actually couldn’t sleep la, maybe it’s a norm for me to can’t sleep during the 1st night or some other reason), eating breakfast with the Singaporean gang(that cereal waffles was good) and stoning/slacking till 11:45am till the bus came.
At Sentosa, we went to Tanjong Beach(most probably cos it’s the most ulu beach there) and play some more relay game, which at 1 part, involves 2 guys carrying me from the water to dry ground. Then dog&bone. The last game was like the game I played at the 05 guides training camp, the elves that one. Except it was scissor, paper, stone and their version of it was like clue 10’s scissor, paper, stone. Stone is hand put in a fist position in front of you, scissor, cross your arms in front of you and paper, wide open, fair enough, Lionel’s version is more embarrassing. And the losing team will have to reach some point in the water in order to “survive” the game. At the end, the team with the most people in the wins. KO-ed in the 1st round.LOL.but it was super violent la, 2 guys catch 1 girl and a lot of people got hurt(not me :)).
Dinner was nasi lemak and we went home at around 6-7pm(no cf, why?!? That’s jz soo wrong). Saw Ronald, Ryan and Laura, too tired to entertain them so convinced them that I jz came back from camp and went home.
the birthday girl, xie yifang! ;)
TODAY(technically, yesterday) was the BEST day, out of the 3 days, FINALLY met up with Rebekah, Yifang and Pris today!
Well, Rebekah and I were super early, we arrived at Thomson Plaza(we were planning to eat Swenson’s there) at around 12:40-12:45nn, Pris arrived at 1pm and we reminisce, remember MCS people till Yifang came at 1:30(HAHA,we told her to come at 1:30 so that we could have 30mins to plan what to do for her birthday, turn out we took only 2 mins to do that.) I COULDN’T RECOGNISE HER WHEN SHE CAME! Really. Totally different from the Yifang I remembered in p6. She became feminine! With long hair and skirt.haha. The Yifang from my memory is always has her hair tied up and pretty much tomboyish. Rebekah and I went into total shock for a few minutes. Swenson was good! HAHA.
Then we went over to Rebekah’s place, it’s near mediacorp there and it’s HUGE! A 2 stories house-in Singapore! We swam, camwhored, watched Step Up 2, ate dinner and camwhored somemore. Her bathroom is HUGE too and the most important thing is that it has ample hot water (unlike my house)! Dinner was not bad also :) Oh, and Yifang's mum sent Pris and I to Bishan to go home/take mrt home.thank you! I would love to do this again. Maybe have a sleepover with them in December. And I hope that falls through. <3.>
Rebekah, Yifang..pics please! And camp people…pictures also please! :)

I still have 4 interpersonal communication journals to do.Not to mention the 6 philosophy journals,microeconomics project and have to pack my camp bag.die.but i will do the journals during the weekend and finish up the econs project tonight.
speaking of tomorrow,will have to skip the 1st 3 hours of camp cos of showdown.apparently that will be when all the fun games be, while I am stuck in a meeting with doris lim and if I manage to go back to school by 9pm, I will be just in time for campfire( i think).saturday will be spent in sentosa.and i really like the way people in UG organize camp :)
i think sleeping in lati dorm beats sleeping in a air-con classroom anytime, there is this calming effect of being away from civilization(and reality).also a 4D3N camp without needing to pay a single cent in contrast to a 2D1N camp and needing to pay $10.LOL.nat camp still wins.
okay, need to finish up the last slide for the presentation.haha.come up with something cos my econs really sucks.

I've got a miracle to announce! I passed my FINITE MATHS TEST! with a 11/20.HAHA. for all the maths geniuses out there(like Hai), this may not seem like a big deal...but I never passed maths in school before! And with a B in Art, my day couldn't get any better :D
And it does.
okay, you can start laughing at right about now. this is the election poster-part 2 for SC. And that day I was being extremely UG-patriotic-y to school(and the interview) so I wore my nat camp tee. wearing it makes me wanna break out into song too! like the whalewhale.HAHA. election week next week!
had to go back to MF today to pay for the NLB library book that dad tore up a year ago so there goes my $25. on the way up near the GO...
mr lee jy: Putri! your face is up in the hall!
me: huh?*ran up to the 2nd floor and into the dark hall and begin frantically searching*
and when I finally found it, this is what I saw along with many other pictures on a loong and big banner circling the hall....
OMG!why couldn't they chose a nicer picture! like our informal one!haha.ok. this is nice(one of rare glam pictures). pretty happy about it,in a way, this is recognition. FINALLY! :) and seeing this picture make me pretty proud of us all over again. my xiaogua(s), of course la! HAHA.and nostalgia for this special bunch of people.
oh ya! I couldn't find gatsby boy's face with the word "CARE" on it! haha.where is it? I WANNA SEE!and die laughing. he is really poster boy, 1st for scouts, then for mf.lol.
this is what makes mf home.and the sec 4s will have more things to look at during their prelims and Os, not only the president's face.haha.
I miss guides too.

Its okay, I guess I have to remodule with bullet train teacher again
note to self: learn mock tests/quizs ONLY! and try to pass all 3 tests + midterm.
On the lighter side, I got 2 As! English composition and Computer applications! I'm happy about the computer one cos all I did in class was the surf the internet, go on facebook, catch up on journal writing, catch up on essays, watch videos and occassionally listen. where the A come from, I have no idea, must be from the database project bah. but for english, it was staying up till 5am to finish up the compositions, well worth it. 1 more subject to go!
These 2 weeks had been hectic man, with classes ending at 6-6:30pm then tution afterwards at 7. There is virtually no time to do homework, since tution ends at 9, eat dinner till 10,shower at 11 or so and I will only start work at midnight or 1am. And then there is SC training aka do sai kang(cos we are suppose to be time keepers etc for some sports week) everyday this week. So I will end up sleeping at around 4am. so,sorry if I am online and don't talk to you guys, rushing philosophy's and interpersonal communication's journals.
haha.but I maybe(sneakily)watching the japanese version of hana kimi too.LOL.it's good,kay!welcome distraction.
so is the whalewhale and the juicejuice.the good ole days of camps seems eons away.in need of camp therapy.
Anyway, check out lati dorm's blog!

shit shit shit. I've got F for freaking calculus. and I heard from Vachry and Hai that the bullet train teacher marked it as 80% for an A( its usually 70% for an A for my course) so its about 30% to just pass the module-D/E so with the 80% benchmark he set, we need 40%. damn shit. 10% marks difference.
The best part is....
WE NEED TO PAY $107 TO HAVE IT RECHECKED.WHAT THE SHIT MAN. Its his fault la. and we need to pay. the damn school really want our money hor.
I DON'T WANT TO DO A REMODULE!!! repeat.NO WAY I AM REMODULING! BULLET TRAIN TEACHER SUCKS LIKE HELL OKAY! not to mention 3 more months of MORE F maths(please kill me).
and I have no idea how to tell my mum i've got an F, cos in sec school, it was okay to fail.And my week gets better...
Friday-Microecons test.
Monday-Maths&Philosophy test.
I still have...
5 Philosophy journals to do.
Philosophy is actually quite fun, whats with the "chicken-ness" and yes people, " essence of a chicken"-remind you of that drink, right? Whether the chicken is an egg or a chicken, it's still a chicken. Then there is Socrates, founder of moral philosophy, Plato then Aristotle. Natural Law vs Social Contract. Also, "Allegory of the cave". So people, if you guys are attending Philosophy class, BRING A DICTIONARY! all I can say is chimology chimology chimology.
hopefully, by dec, i will be wiser, as said by socrates, "an unexamined life is not worth living".
totally random. but I AM NOT GONNA CARE ANYMORE! sompa.and the day will come when?
you know, you and I, we've both come a long way.from totally enemies to friends.and yes, ms "I don't like boys", i treasure it.but to an untrained eye, we both might as well be back to square 1.
"People come and people go and we know this happens, yet we get such a shock when it does". because thats when the "bubble" burst.

Clue 10: MF Scouts Group Campfire 2008
MF Scouts campfire was da BOMB! Finally seeing Miaomiao, Yingjie, Sionghui, Chinhow, the rest of the dreamers and the MF Rovers was damn awesome man. The icing on the cake was seeing Addie, never did expect her to come. :D You kind of stop hoping for any type of reunion after a period of time, so when you see all of them in 1 place, it’s the closest thing to a dream come true. What’s even nicer was I saw some nat camp people too, 2 from MFNPCC and the rover emcee whose from Serangoon Eagles Scout Group, the xiang something guy.
Hendarto and Lionel were the emcee for the campfire, but Chinhow, Amos and 1 other scout emcee for the 1st part of it(later i learnt from Hazel that it was to drag the time cos the GOH havent arrive yet), with their old man and chicken jokes and Lionel with Hendarto aka“Justice Char Siew Bao” for the rest of the campfire. I never expected Lionel to be the emcee also, mainly cos he doesn’t like to talk, kinda expected Fred. But he was damn lame la, with Hendarto aka “Justice Char Siew Bao”, imagine this scene, the 2 emcees, 1 dress like a magician in all black-Lion-el and another dress like a chinese opera character, that’s Justice Char Siew Bao exploring an underwear(smelling it and all), cos it was suppose to be 1 of the evidence from a murder scene where an ah pu ne ne died(that’s yew choon I think .LOL.). I vaguely remember a few lines, from Lionel, “the murder was committed by the murderer la,who else?”.HAHA.and “wa!every murder scenes must have knife one, okay la, not all,but most, don’t know why also.”. Oh oh and I just remembered, Lester and someone having a dialogue in an Hong Kong accent, omg,that was really really funny. Also, Hazel playing the chao ah lian and dancing to an Indian dance with Mr Gana.HAHAHA. And Yingjie and the rest of the scouts doing backup dancing.
The cause of ah pu ne ne’s death? Allergy to sotong, because his niece aka chao ah lian feed him some and he rashed to death.HAHAHA.soo lame! This is soo like YA conference’s murder plot, in which the bride had a severe allergic reaction to strawberries and after touching one, she died because of the reaction.
I embarrassed myself at the campfire again,haha, nothing new. That’s why I’ve got such a thick skin.LOL. my dearest alumni sabo-ed me for the “bird, stone and paper” game. The bird is the scissors, where we have to put 1 leg up and flap our arms, stone is the mummy position, put our arms in a cross on our chest and paper is spreading our arms out and shaking it. I managed by some miracle to pull myself into the finals, me against this scouts guy. And I lost to him. HAHA. But it was fun. Oh yes, the guides(my girls) shouted at me , “Jiayou Putri Ma’am” during the game. I am not shocked, I just don’t know whether to feel happy or to suspect whether they are just trying to act it out in front of everybody. Since you can’t just ignore the elephant in the room.
The sweet MF Scouts Group gave us a souvenir, and I took it home! It says down there “Crime Scene. Do not cross.Mayflower Guides Alumni”. Also, long after the campfire ended, we went to explore the Guides Room/Scout’s Den/MF storage room and IT WAS DAMN CLEAN AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK IN IT. That’s saying something cos the room is usually so packed with stuff that you can barely walk in it and now, I think playing a game of RISK there should be no problem. Miao and the rest of the guys actually held their PLC meeting there once. THANK YOU FOR CLEANING IT UP SCOUTS! And outside the room it says “Scouts/Guides Den”, I suspect it was made by L.L.HAHA. Damn cool la. But the room will always be a hazard. LOL. What’s with our kerosene and stuff. That’s the way I like it. If not, it wouldn’t be Guides Room/Scout’s Den le.
Oh. Another highlight was seeing Kelvin cook/deep fry.HAHA.should have taken a picture of it. He was like “I’ve got an A1 in home econ okay!” and Andreas’s reply was, “Ya, A1 in theory, I think you were on MC the day of the practical”.LOL. So lame! He was frying chicken wings, nuggets, sotong balls and sausages and poor Miaomiao was his sai kang, sticking up everything. MF Scouts and Rovers really are great entertainment, that was what made DREAMS 5 soo fun.
Going back to MF was really great too, I miss the feeling of the school, the comfort of it all.
And I have this gut feeling that I don’t really care about SC. If I am in, then I am in, if not, then okay lor. There is no intense burning love for it, you know? And since I am running against 4 experienced soon-to-be-ex SC members, my chances are even lower. 12/20+ people will get in. 3 CSULB people are running. Pretty damn low.

Edith Chua Qin Shi
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!!
HAHA. you finally become "old" already, but don't worry la, you are not an auntie. thank you for being there for me these past 5 years, my fellow secretary and gossip partner, who somehow or another always manage to sneak out of drill sessions and not get scolding from yanqing.HAHA.speaking of drill, you were a good commander.LOL. Also, thank you for listening to me, whenever I rant/rave about something,especially about Nat Camp and Dreams5. And also for being my most awesome spur-of-the-moment friend, going to campfires and the likes at the last minute.
And even though I suan you about it all the time, I am very thankful that you chose secretary over commander 3 years ago.
LOVE YOU!!! :)

Mum is driving me nuts these few days, it’s like she scolds me over every LITTLE THING and she don’t want to give me my pocket money and pay my school fees cos she said that she haven’t have that “talk” with me. Her scolding also involves insulting of guides, it’s like she says that I have AP(attitude problem) because of what I learnt in guides(or somewhere along that line). Not going out with her means that I don’t respect her, in her eyes. It is like so ridiculous la, the scolding and everything else. And I happen to NEED my textbooks, god.
Part of the “talk”, more like lecturing to me and trying to get the PC(politically correct) answers out of me involves me writing me how much(of a percentage) is guides, school and playing on the internet/computer important to me and the purpose of doing them. School is fine, the rest is like WHAT? I mean, I can’t explain guides to anyone(unless the “anyone” is also in a UG then it’s fine), much less state it’s purpose. There are no whys and purposes of me being in guides, it’s just passion, plain and simple. And what else do you do when you are on the internet, do research, chat, some discuss things on MSN, right? Oh yes, and she’s saying that my tution teachers are complaining that I am not doing their homework. FYI: I have school and tution homework and the occasional guides stuff, I am not a robot, you know? I HAPPEN TO NEED A LIFE! She’s beginning to sound like doris lim man. And my outside tution teacher is asking me(expecting, rather) to not go out anymore and do maths everyday, also when I tell her that I have school everyday(morning and afternoon classes), she said “Huh, then how to do maths?”, I don’t know, you tell me.
Speaking of doris lim, she kept mine's,addie's and dennis's dreams certificate with her, cos the scouts and lianyi got theirs already. if she's keeping it cos of the "scandal", to make sure that addie and I have to see the smirk in her eyes to get it, then I think it's downright petty cos dreams5 and that are 2 different things that happened a year apart, for god sake.
And I wrote school 70% important, guides 25% and internet 5%, that’s the PC answer, of course, if I have it my way, it would be school 50%, guides 45% and internet 5%. My mum loves to attack guides and dreams5, if my schoolwork is not good, it’s their fault, if I have AP in her eyes, it’s also their fault. I mean, wtf la. You can't go around insulting things you never in your life tried before, that's just so wrong.
She had been opposing guides since the moment I entered the committee, I remember when I had COH on Saturdays morning at the Guides HQ, she was not happy, because “ I will wake up at 7:30am for them but not for her”, also when Edith and I were up at night doing proposals and things like that, she will be like “stop playing on the internet la, go to sleep!”. Also, when I used to go back to MFSS for meetings, she will be “do you really need to go back every week, can’t they survive without you?” and for other school’s campfires, she will be like “It’s not MF’s campfire, so why is there a need for you?” For Nat camp appreciation dinner, she was like “can’t you not go?”, my reply was “no, my name is already there.” And she didn’t even send me off for DREAMS 5, my family was in Bali.I mean, it’s soo ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! So much for supportive family, the only thing they are is getting in the way of my dreams, they are my every difficult obstacles and the last people I will look for support. Cos if you haven’t been supportive from the beginning, I don’t see why I should let you in when I "made it".
In the end of the day, it’s about giving up guides and doing what she wants,right?
Tough luck, that will
NEVER HAPPEN.
If she’s happy with me joining SC, I am soo gonna screw up the interview and join YAC.
I’ve learnt not to do things on logic, because if I have done things on logic, DREAMS 5 would never had happened, and so far, it’s the best thing that had happened to me in a long while.
I am ranting but I can’t control my anger anymore, and I do not get angry easily, that’s how much she agitates me by touching guides and dreams5.
