Diabetic Camp

1st day....

Arrived at KKH at slightly past 8.30am. Ha.... see a few familar faces again since we last met each other 2 years ago at the last camp. I was the volunteer photographer for the camp. A veri shy photographer I am. My so call gang only left Ying ying. The rest??? Don't know where they have dissappeared to. Everyone had to gather at the staff lounge. Childern were all clinging onto their teddy bears, a gift from one of the sponsers. Me? Busy taking photos of families and individuals. Then the doctors came at about 11am, after their hospital duties. Dr Warren Lee made the opening speech and introduced the various staff present at the camp, ranging from doctors to nurses to dietitians to social workers. Later we had tea at the staff lounge with a choice of sandwich with orange juice or just water.
We set off for Changi Village Hotel at about 12pm.
The newly renovated hotel was huge and nice. Got very interesting toliet too. It was time for lunch. Ying ying and I are always very close to the staff. Since the queue for the main course was very long, we all decided to start with the salads and the cold dishes. We wanted to wait for the queue to fade off before we start queueing for the main dishes but by then, choices were quite limited.
After lunch, there was a short talk by Dr Vera Oh and then the checking in of rooms. I shared room with Judith and Hui Yi. Room number was 225 at level 2. Walking to the room was like a maze cos the hotel was designed to be of a triangular shape and our room was on the far end away from the lift.
Later in the afternoon, we had station games at the Changi Broadwalk. The whole camp had to walk quite a distance before reaching the broadwalk. Everyone were kept busy along the way with paper quizzes to discover more about Changi. The weather was very hot and everyone had a lot of fun. The games were completed in about an hour and the children had time for a swim. The rest just went back to their room to rest their tired feets and cool down their sweaty bodies.
Dinner was at 7pm and then was some interactive session. The day ended with a debrief for the staff at about 10.30pm...
Snooze.....

Okie, I love you bye bye!!!

Okie...... I'm trying to push down my Ubin blog so that it doesn't have to take a long time to load the pictures and everything else. anyway, my new computer has already arrived. Phew, just in time before i leave for my camp and for China.... so i'll be away from this computer for 2 weeks.
haha this blogging can cheat the date you enter your entries. so can keep details of each day's activities.

Okie, I love you, bye bye!!

Hmmm... nothing to write in lately, so my blog very empty each month.
Anyway, Liza and I want to sign up for the Science Orientation Week cos like veri fun. Go uni of course must join their camps wat... then the SOW director scare me in the email he reply, say what this week last week to sign up. its actually for the OGLs. We ahve to sign up via their website... phew!!! let's have lotsa fun in the camp...

Aiyah... the Esplanade company sent the email to me to say that i was not successful in my interview as a casual usher... hiaz... didn't pass the interview for the second time. My deduction: working time frame too short for them cos i starting school in Aug... what to do???

Okay... really got nothing on my mind to write anymore... very sian...
But i'm waiting for the new computer to arrive... :)

Going to NUS! YEAH!

Hurray!!!
I got the application package from NUS liaoz... Now can safely decline NTU's application. Got a lot of things to do to apply into NUS. But first, have to accept the application online, then sent back the form with the photo for some card processing. Later still need to do medical examination.
Anyway, Liza got into the same course and me too. That means we're in the same school. School mates again. Heard that she went for the interview for the teaching scholarship. But I haven't receive anything from them yet. Does that mean that I didn't pass the application? Or do I still have to be hopeful of hearing from them?
Nevermind.... still got chance for the NUS scholarship. Hope that I can get. Dun have can apply for other scholarship.Look for bond free ones.
Looking thru' the package NUS sent to me, it seems that they have a lot of camps organised by the different groups before the start of the school term. They seem to like SENTOSA a lot too. Maybe i'll go and ask Liza if she wants to join the science orientation week cos like every fun. Wanted to go for the diving trip but too expensive... $450!!

Have to end here cos my brother wants to use the comp.....

Pulau Ubin Trip

What a tiring day....
Went to Changi Beach with Xinyi to shoot but didn't expect to end up in Pulau Ubin. So hot and sunny too. Since we're on this island, might as well take a walk round the island. As we were walking, I spotted the unusual car plates on this island. Interested, and took a few pictures of them.

Wondering whether to take the bicycle or not, hey, just stop and take another picture of the rows of bicycles parked outside, waiting to be rented by tourists. So CHEAP... only $3 per day. You pay only 3 bucks for unlimited usage of the bike...

Then there was two guys sitting outside a house, idling around. Okie... Quickly took a photo of them while they weren't looking...

Everything is so interesting to take on this island, even for the car's vihicle license. Its pink in colour, different from what we have on mainland.

Pass the shophouses and walked into the jungle. We chose to take the discovery trail. Boy! It is a discovery trail. Saw a lot of things. From the jackfruit to oriental pied hornbills to even monitor lizards. Dangerous...

Next, we dropped by at the village chief's house, attracted by the unusual nosies coming from the cages... Guess what we found? An ostrich at the backyard, about 2m tall. We were so excited, never seen an ostrich so close up before. Quickly took pictures.


Ostrich in Ubin?

It was a long walk before we made it to the jetty finally.... Had to wait till there are 12 passengers before we can take the boat back. In the mean time, took some pictures from the jetty.


Approaching boat

Really enjoyed ourselves. Promised to take essential things ( hat, insect repellent, towel, water ) along whenever we go out...

Tiring but fun.
