Hectic Week
Friday, December 01, 2006
May peace be upon you.
After an absence for about a week or so, I certainly have loads to update. Last Sunday, I went for the job interview as a waitress at Serangoon Garden Country Club. I screwed it up. Although the job was easy; clear plates and fill glasses with water, I had a tough time. I keep dropping chopsticks and other cutlery but I didn't drop any plates, thank god for that. And Ajo's boss had a great time bullying me, asking me to fill a bucket with the entire contents of the swimming pool and also telling me that my job was actually to wash plates. BLEARGH! At least now I don't need to do that horrible job. I applied for Golden Village again and now I'll just wait.
The next day, I went for the canoeing trip to Sebana Cove at Johore Bahru. Sarah and me were the only Sec 4s who turned up for hte trip. It was ironic because both of us aren't exactly your examplary canoeists. We rarely go for training, we skip the runs we usually had to do and we totally trashed the competitions. But then again, I wanted to be there at the trip with my fellow juniors because it is my last year and that was the only way for me to show that I have never really given up on the canoeing team.
Anyway, we had SUPER D-DUPER LOADS of fun on the first day. After hiking up some highland (I have no fucking idea what hill it actually was), we went for an obstacle race. It wasn't raining when we started but it began to pour when we happily completed the first obstacle. Guess what we did next? WE CONTINUED PLAYING IN THE RAIN!!!!! I was having so much fun with Christopher and Ashraf sliding down the puddles of water and mud. I got so terribly wet and muddy and dirty I forgot I that I am a girl. Anyway, that muddy and dirty me caught the attention of the facilitators cause the next thing I knew, they were happily calling me 'Sham' just like the rest of the canoeists.
Oh my god, the dinner was FANTASTIC. Just as marvellous as the lunch. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet and almost all of us had three helpings, except for Jerry who said she was on a diet. But of course, the winner of buffet eating was Connie. She ate 3 full helpings of whatever there was on the buffet table. I totally salute that girl. And yet, she can fucking maintain her weight. I felt like stealing her metabolism rate.
After dinner, Mr Iskandar said we were going for a solo night walk. I was so bloody excited cause I haven't experienced it yet. It was all so anti climatic when we ended up going into the Haunting Forest. The first time I entered the forest, Sarah was clinging on to me like a baby koala. I was leading the whole group cause apparently, the other 3 group members of mine decided to close their eyes. I was the only one with eyes open and it was pitch black. I had a hard time draging 3 people behind me and trying to feel my way out of the "forest". It wasn't that scary, really. It's all in the mind, bebeh. But the second round time, Boon How clung on to me. He was screaming "Don't let me go Sham!!! I very scared!!! Don't let go of me!!!" Can you believe it, a tall and brave looking guy said that to a girl who was like a head shorter than him? I had fun telling people what he said inside the the "forest".
The next day, breakfast was as delicious as dinner. We went for water rafting after breakfast where each group had to build their own raft using the materials given. I didn't go down the water cause I didn't want to dirty the only tudong I was left with. But I had fun screaming for the team and asking Mr Anthony Ho to keep quiet cause he was telling me to shut up. Haha. My team didn't win cause the raft was horribly designed by yours truly.
At night, we went for the Fireflies Tour and it was amazing. The fireflies were so cute!!! And there were lots and lots and lots of them. We had fun trying to catch those cute insects. By the way, fireflies are the only insects that I shall ever dare to touch and love. We had an emo-fied session after the tour where teachers talked about how we progressed as a team and all that. I also did my fair share of addressing to team about my past experiences. One thing you guys must not do is to give up. Keep the canoeing spirit alive my enduring all the tough training and never say die. However hard training is, keep going even if you feel like killing yourself. Okay, at some point of time, you might need a break but just don't quit canoeing.
Yesterday, I went for the PSL Year End Camp for a while and they did quite a good job, from what I saw. Keep up the good work, guys!
