Of the ordinary & the extraordinary.

so on tuesday, i walked out of my house carrying the tent and my big bag. and so muddleheaded of me, i mistook 124 for 195 and took it. no wonder i sensed it was going in the other direction. i quickly got off the first bus stop, crossed the road and decided to take a cab since it was raining anyway.

i was the first one to arrive there, next one was kaiying followed by the rest and as usual, sherlin was the queen cause we waited for her and hoileng. we called the others first to confirm if they are coming but in the end, almost all couldnt come :( so after all the discussions and a bit of arguments, we set off our journey to bedok mrt. we hogged the first four seat in the first cabin of the mrt, we were rather noisy as usual!

we took a cab from bedok interchange because we have to walk a long long way and also, we;re not really sure which bus and where to stop. and ho yeung called kaiying, at first she didnt wanan pick it up thinking that it's the irritating callers again. he asked the details of the bbq, he actually wanted to come but no one wanna accompany him! we alighted at macs there, and we still had to walk a long long way to our bbq pit together with all the heavy stuff.

the many many stuff we brought!

finally we reached, the ground as wet, the stone table was wet so we had to use plastic bags tp put our belongings on top. set up the tent, it was so dirty, full of ants. looks like my dad didnt clean it up properly. setting up the tent was rather new to me, everytime my dad set it up i didnt bother to obsereve how it was done. good thing it was up in a few minutes with the others help. after putting put belongings in and with the valuables in shu qi's bag, we rented bicycles! kaiying, pearlyn and i know how to cycle while the rest dont know, so we taught them. and my, they were fast learners! but sherlin fell down and hurt her knee, blood was oozing out and she quickly turned pale so fast. realising we were all hungry and not having our lunch yet, kaiying and i decided to cycle all the way to the hawker centre to buy food while pearyln stayed with sherlin at the bbq pit, the others were still learning to cycle.

we cycled all the way tothe hawker centre which seemed so far to me! kaiying and i went crazy shouting crazy stuff and laughing when there were no one around, and oh! the slope, we also screamed. haha! when we reached the place, we got off our bicycles and felt like we were on the moon, we were so dizzy! only a few stalls were opened there and it's deserted thought the whole place was well designed, they shouldn't have put a place like that somehwere deserted. anyway, bought drinks for ourselves, bought the duck rice and went back to give it to them. i watched them eat it, and i don't wanna taste duck either. it somehow reminds me of the yellow ducky with its orange beaks and legs. eew, dont wanna eat it, so cute lah.

we walked to 7-11 to see what else we can buy and got conflicts happen. i'm not really sure what happened, but those guys were mean! while pearlyn, me and kaiying went all the way to the bbq wholesale centre to get the chicken wings, while holineg, sherlin and shu qi go and get the bbq started. the guy whom we have conflict with, asked his gang ppl who were on bicycles to attack the 3 of them. he or them threw a cup hot maggie mee onto them, it hit shu qi but not hoileng and sherlin. good thing it wasnt a lot, and no one was injured, otherwise we wouldn't let the matter rest. but since only 3 of them were there and we're gonna stay for the night, better not add fuel to the fire.

we followed two girls out of the housing estates and onto the road, there was 196 which could us to bedok interchange but on the other road. we couldnt find te other bus stio so we asked a stranger, she and her husband were so nice. as he was going to the interchange, he offered to lead us to the bus stop and we took 608 all the way to the interchange. waited for like ages for the bus 32, saw a few pilipino women there, could tell. dont know why, but it's always so easy to know if we're of the same race! sherlin said the bbq wholesale centre will be around caltex petrol station, look to our left window and we finally saw it and pressed the bell and alighted. and alas! it was closed, no actually shifted. so we walked and tried to find it. we didnt find it at first, so we asked a sjhopkeeper and kindly told us that we were lucky it hadnt really closed for the day. hurriedly, we came to the shop and good thing we still could buy. wah! we was the list and the food they offered, we should have just ordered from them and delivered it to us! bought the chicken wings, set off, and took a taxi again form bedok interchange. mdm wu called kaiying to tell she's on the way already, so we waited for her at macs there. haha! she actually bought a small box of pizza for us, so nice of her! realising that she and mr.wee walked really slow, and that the rest, including gabriel, guowei and jacob couldnt set up the fire, i decided to run my way there with the fire starters. in the end, i also couldnt help get the fire started. gabriel went over to our neighbouring bbq pit to ask for help, and one yellow colour t shirt girl came over and help us with the charcoals. so nice of her, she like stayed to help with us for a pretty long time. i was getting pretty worried for our guests of honour, we couldnt get the fire started and i was scared they were hungry waiting for the food. after another box of fire starters, and charcoal from another bbq pit, we got help from the other bbq pit and guess who i met there? aloysius and zhen jie who were having their primary school bbq. aloysius too came over to help us with our bbq, felt so bad cause we dont know hot get it started and we asked other to help somemore. then finally, finally after fanning the charcoal hard, we got the fire burning! so happy okay! then we started the cooking. the other bbq pit people, offered us their pit so we could bbq faster so nice if them, they asked us questios so we told thme, what school, we were clarinetists, which level and blah blah. then one of them asked if we knew sedrilyn. such a small world, she's sedriyln's sister friend, and also there were clarinetists among them. we offered them a tray of food we had cooked as they were about to leave to show of gratitude, but didnt expect them to eat it all, some of ti was actually meant for us, we haven't eaten. esp me lah, no lunch yet cause didnt wanna eat yucky ducky rice. haha! getting late alraedy, mdm wu and and mr wee had to leave, mr wee didnt join in te picture cause we were saying that we wondered what was their relationship that mdm wu didnt wanna go if mr wee didnt go. so taht's why only mdm wu was in the picture. anyways, she was very on during the night. she asked sherlin if she ans arthur ''patuo''! hahaha! and when we were bbq, kaiying and guowei put on goggles. dm wu was laughing and said that first time she see ppl put on goggles as they bbq!

us clarinetists with mdm wu!

formal shot.

we played games like the number game, jacob, pearlyn, me aand guowei got the numbers right so we did the forfeit, very fun can! jacob had to eat how many crab meat and run screaming topless, pearlyn, i forgot what she had to do, guowei was the funniest! he had to run and swing jacob's shirt and say i love tammy, then just right on time, the NS men on patrol were roght behind him. hahaha! and my turn, i had to do 5 starjumps saying i love big boobs! getting late already, hoileng and shu qi had to go off, so we're sending them off. sherlin can now stay, jacob and gabriel too and guowei so last minute and said that he can stay too! sent thme off, went to wash our feets and to the toilet, we were at macs again and refill our waterbottles, bored, we went out and played at the playground.

haha! i'm feeling young.

gabriel's too tall for this!

it looks like im fallig into a bottomless pit.

then we came back to our campsite and bbq pit,take kaiying's stuff and walked back to macs, there were so many cats around the area! and as usual, we were being crazy, marching at night and laughing.

i liked this one, dont really show that im the shortest!

then we used the computer, we booked it for an hour, but before that we sat down and shared one another's experiences, like our most embarassing moments and what we would do for our loved ones and many more lah. we got hold of the computer and we went to love calculator and this is what we calculated.

tammie gwee & russell!

HAHAHA! looks like they've got chemistry!

HAHAHA! habibah & habib!

habib & curry

curry isn't his favourite food afterall.

jacob & han shen

HAHA!

mdm wu & mr kumar

HAHAHA! i think this is the funniest!

00% !!

and then

kaiying and i went crazy and seduced ronald macdonalds!

so yeah, that's what we did in macs, worried for our belongings, we decided to go back to our campsite/bbq pit. without looking at the stone table, we didnt sense anything amiss until. until we were playing with charcoal and loked for the tongs, that's when we realised..

EVERYTHING WAS STOLEN!

well no everything, good thing our belongings are in the tent, but the things like our tray of food, utensils, and stuff were STOLEN! GONE! we got so pissed that we wanted to look for the culprit. then just in time, a police car on patrol drove past us, very slowly. they appeared like when we need them. we asked gabriel and jacob to tell of our stolen things, but each time they stop, gabriel and jacob stop to rest, and each time both of them run, the car would stop. so in the end, they nvr tell the police. what are they gonna tel them anyway? say our fod got stolen? haha! so we were left hungry throughout the night :( it was getting cold, we wore our jackets. we went back to macs again then to 7-11, gabrieln anyhow prssed the nacho cheese button and had to pay for it, the 7-11 guy was looking. nearing 5am, they were getting hungry so they bought noodles. we went back to our bbq pit, gabriel burnt the cheese and we burnt all the few paper plate the thieves left for us.

the burnt charcoal which kepts warm at night!

not knowing what to do and feeling scared our things will get stolen again, we decided to stay there. the otheres played some game, while me and pearlyn talked for awhil and got a few minutes of winks. it was getting relly cold in the wee hours of the morning. then suddenly gabriel was shouting ''sunrise, sunrise!!''

the sunrise! really nice can!

so we ran to the hard rock there, and began taking lots of photos to capture the moments. the scenery really really nice, it's nicer if you're with the right people. and the scenery is like those you see in the posters or calendar, but just that i get the experience it.

it's too nice, we have to take a picture with it in the background!

haha! gabriel & i, ''rockclimbing''

together with the botaks.

the sun rising.

so we walked in the sand, with the waves crashing at our feet, splashing water at each other. and the water's the deep. as you go down a few steps only, the sea level is getting highe, as in abnormally higher, all right, im exagerating.

kaiying and i,

the background really very nice

then sherlin and pearlyn joined us.

this is so random!

kaiying's the director ah!

ooh!

cool right? look like those you see in posters or calendars.

another really nice picture taken!

the wave is coming behind us!

shadows of sherlin, kaiying & pearlyn

we went to macs to have their breakfast, i wasnt feeling that hungry, hogged the computer again. saw the staff at macs again, after eating as we walked back to our campsite, jacob the maria almsoy forgot to bring our bags of wallets and phones! back at hte site, the cleaners cleaned everything, including our charcoal and even things we didnt wanna throw! nvm, so we kept the tent our things, decided to head for home. but! as we walked to the underpass, me, pearlyn and kaiying dont feel sleepy, and we got the urge to go cycling! it was crazy, but in the end, our minds was set up, i asked gabriel help me bring my tent back to his house. so went to antohrer bicycle kiosk and rent bicycle, put belongings in the lockers. wah, the bicycle not as good as the other kiosk hough the sales lady mistakenly gave us $5 back when we were supposed to be paying for 4 bicycles.

not feeling sleepy yet, we cycled all the way to the hawker centre me and kaiying cycled the other day. we were laughing about how we didnt sleep the whole night and the crazy things we did lah! stopped by the hawker centre for a while, then our butts were back on the bicycle on the way to bedok jetty. sat down for a while talking about how scary the water seems to be. butts back on the bicycle again and we cycled all the way to the plam trees you'll see beofre you reach changi airport. yeah, we reached there, turned around and went down the slope, cycled all the way to the beach where me kaiying were saying that was nice. which i really think was very nice! there's this hardrock then sand in the middle. and you can see waves from each side. it's so cool!

look at it! waves from each side!

so cool!

the place reminds me of the beacjes in philippines, but so much nicer there of course lah. cause the beaches there are not on reclaimed land. and i miss philippines ): and then pearlyn spooted this red thingy among the ropes on the beach. it was a wallet, we opened it up and a ten dollar note was inside, opened the coins pocket and there were about a dollr and a few ten cents! hehe! and we used the money to buy our breakfast, since we were broke and hungry. we had our breakfast at macs, kaiying unwell already. so we decided to take a taxi home. they dropped me off first at tiong bahru, it then walked all the way to gabriel's house to take my tent. he was still playing ps though he too didnt sleep at all throughout the whole night! and oh, thank you gabriel for sharing the chocs your bro gave you (:

kaiying and i were saying that we have to break the record, which is not sleep until 8am! but that seems impossible nbow that we didnt sleept he whol night until 1pm in the afternoon! it's crazy, but i want more if it :D

and both 28th & 29th nov were great days.

but 29th was new day, a luckier day for us, and a new beginning =D
