been going out for the past 4 days and doing MINDS stuff, hence this late entry XD
MINDS and DREAMS5 similarity..the number 12, for now.how strange.
26th was spent with rebekah, went to town and it was super crowded(like everyone in singapore was in orchard, that kind of crowded), to the point where my bus took 20mins from newton mrt to far east plaza, the jam that day can be compared to jakarta's traffic. 1 word, macat! went to eat lunch and went to watch angus, thongs and snogging at shaw center( which was having a private sale on that day, making that place a pool of human concentration). the movie was surprising good :)
met up with some studying course(which was super lame, btw) friends, minghong and joanna on the 27th. haven't seen them in 2 years, i think.HAHAH. we only got in touch recently. anw, aloysious, you are so dead man.HAHA.you better meet up with us next year. we went to cine to eat lunch and watch twilight. the movie was ok-ish,frankly. and because i've been living a rock, so i havent read any of the books(even though i think i have them at home) so don't see any of the hype. After the movie, went off to centerpoint for shopping to look for joanna's stuff and after she left, minghong and i stayed there till around 5+ to window-shop the bookstore and the music store.when we were going home, i saw yifang and her bf! what a nice coincidence man!
28th, went out with edith,jie and da. went to east coast park and......played UNO cards. HAHAH.i am serious. ECP was seriously crowded, there were tents and hammocks and people EVERYWHERE! like how orchard was like on the 26th.OMG! should have gone with our original place, sentosa man.so we went further off and played UNO on the bench for a few hours. at around 5ish, we got hungry, so we went to mc cafe to eat and play more UNO. to my shock and horror, i saw ms chew! truly unbelievable, i go all the way to east coast and i see a mf teacher. this jz shows that singapore is way tooo small. after east coast, edith and i went to eat dinner at the sushi place.
went out with xinyi yesterday, back to ECP yet again. and then we realized that we were in ECP on the 28th too. but we didn't bump into each other(she said she saw edith and jie). but this time, we cycled all the way to the bedok jetty area. haven't cycled in ages, so was abit rusty. this time, the beach also was much much much quieter, as compared to sunday. which was, as far as i am concerned, bliss.
this ends my report.lol.
2009, looks like an exciting year.for so many reasons.

yesterday's meeting was quite an eventful event. to say the least.
for once, we held it at an alternative place, besides SSA and MF.
Reason
#1 xiangjie though that SSA was open till 7pm so edith and i happily went there at 1:30pm and the guy from the scouts shop said that they were closed-at 1pm.
#2 so we went to bishan CC to look around for the study area and ended up having the meeting "below" edith's house. man. that place had scary man, noisy construction.
#3 amist the noise, kelvin, xj,edith and i debated furiously over file/booklet. file won in the end. and kelvin nagged at xj over the dates.so, participants, if you don't like the file, please put the blame on kelvin leong.lol.
#4 for the 2nd time, i had my meeting at bishan CC DOME cafe( the 1st time it was with andreas, before the PNA briefing). when lester came and brought us there.we had mocha latte, coffee, hot chocolate and smoothie. and lester treated us.THANK YOU! =D. YCM/YDF proposals were treated into further details.which left me confused-sorta.
#5 for the FIRST TIME, meeting ended early. and action plan with timeline, mindmap and proposals to appear by the next meeting, although, sadly, not by magic.
#6.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

strange thing is, now, i need recollections of those days, instead of finding ways to forget about them.but i need a trigger memory point.someone,something,some action to bring back the torrent of memories.
you know, the night i cooked at camp training camp, it reminded me of zeus's special, cos adeline keep on randomly throw things in the indian pot. god, even the names are the same.jz different person.and nobody got the joke.thats the difference.
other things aside, we're back in contact, me and her, i haven't talk to her for 2 years now.but yet, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, i've known her close to 12 years now. 12 years, thats a long time. and i don't know whether she's ignoring me, but she didn't reply my fb wall and the long e-mail that i sent her. now, the ball is in her court.
those two things are not related at all. both happened at different lifetimes ago.
Anyway,my schedule for december:
17th dec: Camp training dinner and meeting edith for lunch
20th dec: Camp Inspire recce to Cat High and BPS / frances's birthday dinner
21st dec: starbucks with shiyama and sabrina :)
22nd dec: PNA briefing/ YA christmas dinner
24th dec: MINDS EXCO meeting
26th dec: outing with pris, rebekah and yifang :)
random note: camp inspire is gonna be great man! survival killing and cooking.HAHAH.can't wait! and playground structure! awesome yo! thinking about it jz makes me happy. even though i though i know the night before the camp and during the camp, i will have a serious lack of sleep. but i won't mind it for prata at 12mn...working with the same people in jan...and edith. i don't know, the feeling at 12mn this jan, made it all worthwhile.

camp training was okay la, nothing much to say about it, frankly. oh! other than i love the campers man! HAHA. i met kathy's junior, Gloria and Regina's sister, Emily.OMG! the only highlight of the whole camp was when i cooked dinner for the YAs on the 2nd day.LOL. dreams skill coming into use :) camping with adeline again was great and got to know Junie and Val better, i think.
the campers were really awesome man, at least most of them. since they were 48 campers to 6 YAs and 2 trainers, they remembered all our names and i tried to remember theirs. Let me remember their names. There are emily, gloria-> the cute campers who eat ALOT!HAHA. then the campers in my patrol, sunflower, joanna, wenhui(crappy girl), joy, zoey, amalina and li xuan.people from other patrols, clara,melissa, nien ping, beatrice, melanie(the amk sec ACL.lol), wen wen, shazana, natalie, jia yan, nelly,lisa, reena. the rest can't remember.lol.
Yesterday had camp inspire meeting and another of MINDS EXCO meeting. from 10am-7pm, no kidding man. by the time i got home, i was pretty damn exhausted. sunday will be my only rest day until June.lol.
As you can see, i am jumping pretty much from YA to rover to YA to rover, pretty double agent. shall not comment much on that, if not i will get some deep shit from both sides.

Got back from Jakarta 2 days ago, but haven't really rested yet. Went straight to the guides house the moment the i touch down and stayed there till around 8:30pm to do preparation work for the camp training camp and the YA day, by the time i went home, pretty much half dead.
Yesterday was the official start of the MINDS project, pretty exciting! :) sorry if i was complaining all day, i think i was feeling kind of cranky and tired. Anyway, the meeting was at MF, usual place and kelvin and stanley was late.lol.
It was pretty awkward at first, since all of us didn't know each other very well; i've only worked with edith and xiangjie before.and i kind of know kelvin. don't know hendarto and stanley at all.haha. as a result, xiangjie talked the most at the beginning but we ended up talking and discussing pretty well by the end of it.
Had 2 impromptu meetings after that.lol. 1 of them was with andreas and edith while we were eating char kway teow at the coffee shop across mf and the other was in the middle/after the camp inspire meeting. so it was MINDS meeting part 1,2 and 3.soo funny! but by the end of it all, everyone's brains really couldn't come up with anymore ideas;too tired.
oh!before i forget. andreas and i went to guides house to visit them before our camp inspire meeting, i wanted to see kathy but missed her by a few minutes.haha.oh! and i got "conned" by rebecca.LOL.to buy $5 worth of coupon in which i spent on drinks and mrs peter's kua.
And during our part 1 of the EXCO meeting, stanley became the vice/asst chairman-did "eye power" to force him to take the position.HAHAHA.but he took revenge by not wanting(at first)to help me open my F&N bottle. then hendarto and I became secretaries(this is the "hole" that i can't climb out of-not that i mind).haha. stanley and I are the scouts and guides I/C respectively. kelvin became our treasurer and edith, our liaision I/C.xiangjie is the chairman. :)
Ah! so many things to write!haha.edith is staying over at my house till tomorrow, from yesterday then i will be off to camp!
