Wednesdae: Fun, thrilling and rocks!!!!
I woke up at 8am, then my mom fetched me to school for my early sectionals at 9am. By the time I went there, the clarinet sections were already practising and I saw Terence, Rujun and Sean in the indoor bandrm. Then we chatted for a while before the real sectionals actualli began at abt 9.30..
Then me and terence began practising our Racial Harmony Perf Songs which both fortunately and unfortunately I am not going due to the kompang and the VE finale... I will be missing the stupid band songs and the fun racial harmony a-go-go dance steps... Lolz...
We started off with Copacabana, then played Big Fun in the Sun, Hawai Five-O n Jump Swing Fever wif the trumpets, clarinets and Horns. Then after that I found a baton on the floor with two cork grips and one was loose. So I keep swacking the loose cork grip against Terence and he told mi it hurt. Then there was a red marking on his hand then I felt so very guilty.
Budden when I tried the swaking on Sean, he told mi it didnt hurt and when I aimed at Yiyi, I accidentally hit his teeth with the cork grip and he covered his whole mouth in pain... Then quiet little Li Chan also from clarinets sec one just stood down there laughing... Then Yiyi of cos' got his revenge by hitting me back with that nasty weapon of mine...
Then we practiced Jump Swing Fever with that repititive off-beats that killed mi for soem reason and after tt, it's the traditional moment/period we call CARDPLAYING SLACK TIME!!!
Firstly, we played Bridge wif Terence, Teng'En (Band Major) and Wei Liang (clarinets) so it is a Eupho VS Clarinet match... Of cos' me and Terence won like siao in the first round with 12 tricks and stuff... Then I matched with Teng En and we lost due to my brainless thinking and Sean's misguiding skills... :P Then after tt, seeing tt more pple are crowding around us, we decided tt we'd play Bluff instead bcos it can involve more pple... So me, Sean, Rujun, Yuxin, Wei Liang, Yiyi, Li Chan, Teng'En and Terence played bluff and hahazz.. Yiyi lost both matches... From the playing of games, I could sense that Teng En didnt like me much.. (oversensitivity again???!??)
Then at abt 12.30, me, sean, terence, kian hong, yiyi, teng en, jian hui, rujun and wei liang went to Prince for lunch.... I had a mixed combo due to
MY creativity of eating... Me and terence, sitting beside each other swopped one chicken cutlet for one fish fillet so we have this unique combo... Then Teng En n Rujun copied us but they were so unhygienic - cos' they used their bare hands to switch... Ew...
Before we ate the main meal, just when Wei Liang and Yiyi went to get drinks for Jian Hui, we also suggested to put salt in Yiyi's soup and drinks... I put lots of salt in his soup and Teng En put alot of salt in his drink... We stired it like siao... And teng en cleaned the soup-stained spoon with his tissue and folded it and stirred his drink with his straw to make his unsuspicious of our flaw-ful plot....
Then of cos' he realised sth was wrong when he returned to his seat he saw his stained napkin and asked me if mine was soaked with mushroom soup as well... The rest of us tried not to singger and we continued eating our garlic bread... Then when he moved on to his drink, it was until 15mins later that he realised, "Ey, why my ice lemon tea is so acidic one?" lolz....
Then after eating, I had to rush off back to school to meet up wif Jiefu and Kaijun for the IDS... We walked to the bus stop and I kept initating them to pon this whole thing and work online and fake the data for some despo cps... Then after tt we decided to go to the reserve in the end...
We took bus 67 to the bus stop after the one opp. Beauty World Plaza... Then we walked for about 15mins before we reached the signboard that says 'Bukit Timah Natural Reserve' and another 10mins before we arrived at the visitor's centre at the foot of the hill.. Jie Fu then went to the tourist shop or sth to purchase an outdoor camera at $15 and can take up to 27 pics... Then we set off, so very unprepared...
Firstly, we walked up to very steep slope at abt 60 degrees inclined that I was literally climbing.. Halfway the slope I saw someone taking a stick for hiking and he popped off another route...And I copied him and got a Y-shaped branch and walked up the tiring slope for another 5mins... By the time we reached the top of slope, we found out lots of things... 1st thing is that the slope itself is abt 40m high and we climbed it!! Yeah!! 2nd thing was that we forgot to bring insect repellant... Lastly, when Jie Fu took out his root beer 1 litre bottle and kaijun took out his cocacola 1.5litres bottle... I said, "Shit. I forgot to fill my bottle..." Gosh... How stupid am I!! :D
Then we continued our route until we arrived at another crossroad... We chose Summit Path and walked a strainingly uneven high series of steps and I mean uneven and straining... It was so darn tiring cos the stairs are of uneven lengths and they r very large and by the time we thought we finished the steps, there were still some more straining for us... Its like the hard and fast way to reach the summit, like a detour in the Amazing Race!!! Lolz, very fun and we arrived the summit after a short hike at the top of the staggering stairs... I tink the stairs itself covers abt another 30m in height!!
And we arrived at the summit in 40mins time!! Yeah!!! Then we further discussed abt what to do wif the plot of reserve.. In the end, we found it best to conserve it and improve on the facilities/recreational stuff in the reserve.. Then we set off in another route with hope to find the Singapore Quarry nearby... Then we took a wrong turn in some Seraya route and looped around the quarry and then after another 20mins we finally reached the forgot-what-is-the-name hut and saw the quarry.. It was a very nice view and Jie fu took more pics.. Then we decided to take a short cut back home... Another detour, the shorter Rock path or the longer Tiup-Tiup path.. We took the rock path and darn, it was like another physical fun challenge.. Firstly, it was very rocky and twist and turning routes with alot of fallen logs and trunks... then we reached a rather steep place that I thot was rather familiar, like the very steep rock climbing experience i had since p6 for the gunng panti trip in mawai, malaysia... Ok, so we trekked on and i was right, it was the exact same spot... There were 2 ways down the steep 80-85 degree inclined rock path literally. Kaijun first took the right on cos' there were more branches, then i took the left cos' it seems to have more rocks and Jie fu took the right path... Of cos' I made a bad decision cos' as I go down further, I had lesser rocks to step on and lesser branches to cling on and I was stuck for a moment and then slowly sat down on some rocks and continued climbing down like a spider... I made it to the ground after tt...
Then we continued the route while I sang Barry Manilow's "I made it through the rain". Then the next problem came. There were a bunch of fiercesome monkeys on the left side of our narrow path.. They were like on the tree and stared at us... I was like chanting to myself "Dun make sudden movements. Relax" when I caught my eye on a glaring mother monkey... It was indeed scary budden Jie fu attempted to sooth me by telling me how he confronted a monkey b4... Lol, it was indeed a joke. He said that a monkey growled at him once and jie fu, being himself growled back and scared off the monkey.. Lol...
Then we finally climbed another treacherously high series of stairs and reached the slope again while we walked down uncontrollably.. My soles were heating up as they always slid to the front for evry step i take...
Finally, we went to the visitor centre and bought drinks and snacks from the shop... I bought Just tea with apple... Aiyah, i was goin to try justea wif peach but for some reason i bought the apple one cos' the cans were both red.. Gosh, stupid mi.. Then i bought some sweets and walked to the nearest bus stop b4 I went home...
When i went home, I talked to my father, sang some songs, then he showed me how cute and adorable I was when I was posing in pictures at the age of 3-7 yrs... Mi was very qiao in those pics... Very cute...
Then I took a nap until 8.30... Then I ate laksa for dinner and did science wksheet as I watched World Idol results.. Kurt Nilsen won almost evry country except the Arab country.. Then Kelly Clarkson was like bu shuang liddat.. Budden I feel that the Belgium idol Peter shldnt have got 3rd in place cos his rock and roll songs totally suck. He shld join as linkin park's reserve singer instead... I feel tt the more sight appealing and nice voice Heinz Winckler from South Africa singing "I don't want to miss a thing" shld get 3rd instead.. Nevertheless,after tt I watched a lil bit of Holland V and now I am blogging...
MI veri excited abt the trip to Yishun eldery home tml!! Yeah and goodnite...
