KAHANG ECO-CAMP! :)
It was one of the most awesome camps i've ever been to ! it was really relaxing and we did very few activities, just that the duration of the activities were longer and it was more tiring. We did river trekking (which helped quite a lot since i was studying rivers for geog), mountain climbing (gunung arong, i think :/), water obstacles, rafting in a lotus pond, rice plantation, etc. and our tent was like a palace compared to the one i had in OBS. It was an eight men tent and i only had 3 other fellow sufferers in there! Meixi, Trini and Chermaine. It was really fun, but there were like a million houseflies there, i swear! They were like coming at us in colonies and it was really terrifying and disturbing. :/ The camp helped me appreciate Singapore a lot more, as usual, but this camp was different from previous ones in many ways. Like, we camped in an organic rice farm, instead of the wild. We ate healthy organic food for all our meals and we did rice plantation there! :) And for the first time in my seventeen years on planet Earth, I actually saw dragon fruits hanging off their parent plant! :) and it was a really pretty sight because there was dew on the leaves, which were waxy, and the flowers are really pretty. And there were many dragonflies flittering around! :) i like.
I had many virgin experiences in this camp, all were memorable. :) It was the first time i climbed a mountain, the first time i planted rice, the first time i had a leech on my leg, the first time i walked in a river, the first time i had to escape from a flash flood, the first time i went into a toilet with plants and insects in it, the first time i saw a million stars all together at once! :) the first time i slept in an eight man tent, the first time i walked in a rubber plantation, in the day and at night, the first time i was so close to a lotus, the first time i dropped a camera into a muddy pond, first time i found a camera in a pond (thank god!), How awesome is that ? Anyway, as usual, i took a thousand pictures. But all of them are with Joshua, who is like M.I.A ! The photos are really pretty! i'll upload them when i do get them. xoxo !

All of 2 Humility, i do check the blog like monthly for updates and stuff. I think i'm gonna ask for the passwords and stuff, so i can blog there too ! I miss 2Hum ttm ! All our crazy fun and laughter, please meet up soon!
I finally got what i wanted ! :) A Double promotion ! Am happy ttm ! :D I'm so glad i did my instructors and myself justice ! :) I'm gonna work so much harder now . And i can't wait to join the competition team after the A's. I sacrificed so much of what i wanted to do because of school, choir and all. But no sacrifice, no gain. Come on, work your ass off for the A's guanling ! You can do this, go go go !
I came across this absolutely lovable cartoon whilst surfing the World Wide Web. And i can't help but wonder why people seem to have an obsession with losing weight and being 'the perfect size'. I feel like this 'perfect hourglass shape' and 'size 0' terms are so demeaning of women. Not that I'm jealous and all 'cos i obviously don't have that kinda figure, but i mean why should we be curbing our eating habits just so we can be skinny ? What good is there in it ? And according to surveys, anorexic people are not in the least happy with themselves even after they lose all of the fat they ever had in them. I'm not saying that losing weight is bad, its the best idea for you if you're obese and need to lose weight before it takes a toll on your health. Losing weight is healthy, not losing ALL of it. And if you do want to lose it, you should lose it the right way, by exercising. Not stopping food from going into your mouth and depriving your body of all the nutrients it needs to sustain your immune systems and all. It's just not right. Please take care of yourselves everyone, you only live once and you should live life to the fullest and not be thinking about nitty gritty stuff like weight and all.
