today's breakfast was very nutritious! it was sunny side up with bacon!! specially prepared by szeying and sean. poor them woke up very early to prepare the eggs. good job! :) today's cooks on duty are kokleong and sharan. oo and according to kokleong, sharan is very systematic in her cooking!! thats why they were very efficient in cooking today :) not bad not bad.
today's handicrafts are paper plane and windmill. haha actually handicraft sessions end very fast de. cos they are actually very fast in learning stuff, and their fingers are really nimble. :) they only needed some help with one of the windmill's steps. oo and cos the windmills cant move so i just let them treat as fans lol. but then later i think kien made a movable windmill! hahaha. lunch was fried noodles, but they were smart, they bought the dried noodles which were much easier to cook :) hahaha.
after lunch, i think i had some time for a nap until people came and woke me up to go teach handicraft again.. oo and poor pam was sick... fever until quite high. >< then apple had to take care of her. so in the end i also very poor thing cos 3 handicrafts masters only left with me!! >< lucky got other ppl come and help me phew. and today's handicrafts werent that difficult. yay! so a very tired afternoon passed in no time... :)
today was also the day that i got to know rotanak and nara more! actually i do see rotanak around, but he never come and play with me de. then dunno why rotanak today kept calling me pig pig pig. sighs. then also dunno he calling big pig? or pig pig hahahahaha. i couldn't catch his words 50% of the time, so paiseh. yeah, so he call me pig, and then i call him monster haha. then he dunno what was monster so i acted out for him lol. sometimes i really think i very childish HAHAHA! so throughout the day, he kept calling me pig, and i kept calling him monster. LOL. somehow, i think today was the first time i saw nara.. he is just a very gentle boy bah. but whole day like to cover people's eyes then let you guess. everyday play the same trick they also not sian one hahaha. very cute. ^^
ooo then at night, pamelyn's fever got better. lucky ah. if not she needs to go hospital too. but poor first aiders cos they need to wake up at regular intervals in the night to take her temperature.. good job everyone and 辛苦 le! :)

10th day. 19th December.
in the morning, as usual after breakfast etc, start camp! today's handicraft is wrist watch! lucky pam and apple are back already cos i keep getting stuck at some parts of the wrist watch! hahaha. in the morning, i also brought nak and nara in to learn english. naughty nak kept running in and out. but i already quite happy that he is willing to go in and try learning if i promised to go in with him ^^ nara's english was much better than i thought. looks like he is really hardworking in school =D but nak one quite bad, then nara says nak always dont study one, sighs.. my group of students mostly small kids, lol. all small boys and older-aged girls. hahaha. the girls' english generally not bad. but the small boys.. *coughs* today also got one dance session after the english lessons. haha. celeste damn good at leading them, but i think she got sore throat after that. lol.
after the morning sessions, before lunch, i went out with the 3PDs to develop photos + buy presents for the volunteers and kids. i bought sunglasses for the boys, the girls i havent think yet so didnt buy that time haha. we bought watches for the volunteers haha. then as usual, celeste and i got our sugarcane drinks. lao ba and lao da went to buy ice coffee haha. oo then after that, we realised we were late for lunch already! so we took motor back! yay then cos its the first time i was riding on a motor, i was sitting at the front seat la, i.e right behind the driver. so i put my hands on the driver's shoulders cos a bit scared hahaha. then celeste laughed at me, say no one put their hands on his shoulders one. but i really dunno where to put my hands mah. hahaha. but the first motor experience was COOL! ^^
in the afternoon, after lunch, wrist watch making again. haha seriously, i think i made at least 5 wrist watches throughout the day. nak and nara also made like 3 or 4 cos they came for both the sessions in the morning and afternoon, worst is they still act like they dunno anything tsk tsk. then they gave their completed watches to me after some decoration :) hahahah! oo and dunno why i suddenly had the urge to ask nak to become my "son" hahaha, i pester him for quite long then he finally agreed lol. then later when i told jean who is my son, jean started giving me this very jealous look. haha. cos she thinks nak is very cute! lol! so i asked jean to be nak's father and nak agreed under my pestering again. hahahaha!
today's dinner is 蛋炒飯！it was really very nice cos we finished everything and even asked for more at the end. hahaha. good job szeying liqian! ^^

bleah. school reopened already! really need to speed up, im not even halfway through!!

7th day. 16th December.
today is the last day of painting! actually all is almost done, only left the cafe design itself unpainted. lalala~ so after breakfast, i faster go and sketch the whole design out on the wall. then after getting ready all the paint etc, we faster start painting already hahaha. stupid huili said the brown paint i mixed looks like shit... hmph, more like your brain contains shit hahahahaha! so some of us settled the house, then some of us went to do outline~ so by lunch time, painting was already 75% completed (left outlines only)! hoho so efficient hahahaha.
cooks today are 老爸 and tingting! hahaha got lao ba around, nothing is a problem lol. this can be seen from all the chrysanthemum tea and barley he brewed for us all these days hahaha. got skill one k. but i forgot what they cooked already. tsk tsk. then after lunch, we slacked AGAIN! some of us were sleeping upstairs, then the 3 PDs were doing their accounts, then they pull me in to count with them >< count until a bit giddy lo, cos so many numbers @@ then after counting, instead of going down to finish the 25%, celeste and me started playing with masking tape!!! hahaha, we offer "professional" waxing services for hairy legs kokleong! haha, actually after doing accounts, he and lao ba immediately go and sleep already. but celeste and me still quite energetic LOL. nothing to do, so go and disturb people lorh. and the victims are of course the two VPDs lol. after realising masking tape not very effective, i suddenly thought of the duct tape we bought at the market a few days ago. hohoho im so evil. ^^ so we went down to take the tape and "順便" check on the painting. then, surprisingly, the outline is done!!!! haha this is so exciting, cos i was totally slacking upstairs and the outline is done! yay yay yay! cos i dunno who you are, so if you happen to see this, tell me! i will add your names in here! :) ok, jean just told me the two magicians who did the outlines while everyone were sleeping are JEAN AND NICK! hahahaha! so celeste and i just directly go hunt for the duct tape already. XP. and really, duct tape is much more effective than masking tape! if you dun believe, go ask kokleong hahahaha! cos lao ba is his hands hairy, then hands not much effect, no fun one. ><
yupps so play enough already, celeste and i then went down to touch up on the painting stuff. lol. after a while, they wanted to go to the river at the market to watch sunset, then the poor cooks cannot go. jean was so sad cos she never go and see before. so in the end, celeste took over jean for dinner cooking so she can go and watch the sunset. on the way to watching the sunset, they stopped at the post office to send their postcards out too. (if im not wrong, they still havent receive the postcards yet)
sunset at the river was super nice, this can be seen from the photos we took there. really anyhow take also super scenic. hahahaha. i love my camera cos i think it captured the colours quite nicely whee!! then we were also taking jump shots which are super hard to tag cos it is just a black shadow and nothing else tsk tsk. then after we watched finish the sunset, some of us went back to help with the cooking and setting up of tables while the rest of us went to tela mart and bought ice cream! :) thank you szeying for paying for the ice cream. i totally forgot if we got pay you back.. =.=; but u always say no need no need ><
yeps, then on the way back, cos it was already super dark on the streets. so we were walking with torchlights. then stupid narong dunno pop out from where and scare me with the torchlight.. =.=;; 氣死我了! after dinner, there was just a bit of debrief about what is happening tmr then its the end of today! tomorrow is the official start of the educational camp!!!

8th day. 17th December.
today marks the start of the educational camp! today's cooks were szeying and sean, quite unlucky cos morning we had to help out with camp registration and entertaining the kids so cant really have people go to the market with them to carry stuff... breakfast today is OREO! and i discovered that oreo with milk tea taste quite nice too! hahahaha! i seem to be always having weird combination hahaha.
early in the morning, almost right after we finish our breakfast, there were alot of kids crowding around already. the place where we hang our clothes got super lots of bicycles hahaha. taught them handicraft first, today's origami if i nvr rmb wrongly is the origami crowns and hats. :) then when some of them finished folding, they started taking more paper and do their own handicraft hahaha. we received quite a lot of paper craft from them too. chhaing gave me paper hearts and paper art (which is still on my table haha ^^) i think they really have a talent towards these kind of practical work.. no wonder some of them weren't really interested towards the english lessons.. so they kept crowding around the handicraft area... boo. then i cant go and slack >< oo then sorya brought her cute little sister over too, her sister also super pretty! haha then the pedophiles started getting crazy again LOL... =.=; then a bunch of girls started plucking ixoras to form flower art. that one is really creative, cos they poke holes in the paper first, then put the ixora through and tie. yupps, then they form heart shapes etc for us :)
lunch today was pasta~ then after lunch, we had around 1 hour to slackk so we just go and anyhow do stuff lor. hahaha~ however, in the afternoon, nearly 2pm, there were only a few stray cats around at the registration area. i think its cos at 2pm, most of them are still having lessons. so from 2 - 3pm, we taught them handicraft, while some of us taught 1-on-1 english lessons for those who want to learn english. then around 3pm - 4pm, the crowd of children came again, then they started basic english lessons cos the age group generally very young. our initial plan was actually intermediate lol. well, this proves that we are very flexible! :) hahaha.
so i think for today, everything ended around 5+ instead of the original 4pm due to the late crowd. so some of us went to rest and collect laundry, while the rest went to help out at the kitchen. ^^ dinner today generally was ok, except for the lumpy rice. >< lumpy rice is totally a nightmare already cos its super hard to digest and eat lore. hais. and its also very hard to wash. tsk tsk. so as usual, after dinner, debrief and wash up. and for me, its still the accounts thing with the 3 PDs again!

sidetrack again...
yesterday is the 3rd outing for PSK! hahaha! this time, it is organised by youwee! cos he was dying to find people to watch invictus with him. that movie is quite nice, i think they did a good job of trying to portray the real story. :) the meeting time at vivo was screwed up, cos they changed plan to eat lunch in SCHOOL instead of vivo. lucky i left house late, if not i would have to wait in vivo for super long.. so while waiting, i went to daiso and bought random stuff again haha! after that, i went to watch dog fight at the pet shop just beside daiso. the dogs are super cute.. but i think they very poor thing, cos their cage is super small. and the bigger dogs totally have no space to run around, but just to walk around in circles.. :( oo. and i didnt know singapore got sell my west highland white terrier also!!! that dog breed is seriously damn cute!! oo and i like the red poodle that selina, hebe and my boyfriend keeps. that one also SUPER CUTE! cos the eyes are like staring at you damn innocently... *heart melts* too bad dogs are super expensive and damn troublesome to keep. sighs. but if next time i work and i feel rich, i think i will keep :) then after huili youwee and szeying reach vivo, i ask them go carls jnr with me to eat fries after buying the tickets. at first not hungry one, wait for them until hungry >< haha. then soon later, pamelyn came. we went to the national geographic store and anyhow walked around, looked at photos etc. seriously, that store is ULTIMATE OVERPRICED. so after walking around, we went to buy popcorn and nachos lalala~ and finally jean came, almost just on time haha. -MOVIE- we went to the kids' playground at harbour front area and climbed onto some "statues", play with random kids and then just sat down there watching a few boys running to and fro at the water fountain =.=; and then we displayed our pedophilic abilities and started taking photos again.. got one baby looks like jack jack!! DAMN CUTEEE!! too bad we didnt manage to take a front view of him. all front views are super blur =.=; so sadd! yeah, so we stayed there until apple, shaoming and yijie came. after which, we went to take away our individual dinners and met at the sea view area. hahaha, after dinner, we started playing bridge until like 10 plus. super imba lor. then the rest who weren't playing were just sitting around and talking rubbish. confirm is rubbish cos huili is talking hahaha!

oo and i must talk about my epic first day of school with tianzhu and huiping haha.
first day of school, we had two lectures. then i went to find the sep coordinator with jean, pam and cynthia to ask some questions. then is lunch with tianzhu and huiping, they already bought for me my crispy chicken and was just sitting there to wait for me come back. so sweeet. hahaha. so we were discussing about textbooks while im eating. in the end, we decided to each buy 2 textbooks and the rest just photocopy from each other. then the average amount each of us spent this semester would be around 150! haha not bad not bad. we saved 100$. heh. photocopying was a horrible experience but quite fun cos i had people accompanying me. if its alone, argh i think i will spend that extra 100$. tz, hp and me stood in front of the photocopying machines from 3plus until 8. so amazing right!! haha. then after that, we went to engineering macs to eat dinner. o and the journey of walking there was epic too. each of us had in our plastic bag at least 4 textbooks. =.=; and we walked up the slope to macs. almost died when we reached macs. hahaha! but it was all fun, cos its three crazy women laughing and walking throughout LOL. yeps, so the first day of school, i left school at 10pm... *faints* luckily i asked my dad to fetch me at the bus stop, if not i think i wont survive the 10-15 mins walk to home too. wheee!!

6th day. 15th December.
as usual, the morning routine but today no need wash clothes/prepare breakfast so i just sleeeep wheee! this morning's breakfast very good cos its HONEY STARS! haha thanks to yijie and pam who were willing to spend more to give us good breakfast :) today's cooks are apple and nic so as usual, passed them the money and calculator.
after breakfast, we started work on painting again! yesterday finish whitewash already, so today would be to add colour to the white walls! ^^ for me, i helped with the painting of the colour before lunch, so by lunch, i think most of the pink walls were done already :) then after lunch, the pink walls were dry, so i started sketching the kitchen design on the first layer of paint as practice. then they painted the second layer of pink... so after the second layer is dried, i officially start the painting of the kitchen design! :) szeying and huili were my helpers haha. huili kinda got better so she came down to poke her nose around again lol. but i think after a while, she went to rest again. haha. so left me and szeying lalala. but luckily got szeying cos she very gentle, so will help me wash away some random paint stains on my fingers w/o touching my wounds. SO GOOD!!! :D the kitchen design was finished by dinner time whee and my neck was totally aching after that cos of the continuous stretching of head like a giraffe...!! and the first layer of the blue walls were completed by dinner time too :) then in the middle when i have spare time, i just went to 偷吃 in the kitchen. nic and apple de food really quite nice leh, plus i was really hungry that time so yah i went to help them "test" hahahaha!
anyway today added in another patient = youwee! so poor apple had to stay up there for the whole day again lol. but she seems to be enjoying herself, whole day reading book hahahaha!
and today also got like a "miracle" cos it RAINED! the PDs once mentioned that it is super duper rare to have rain during the dry season. but it did.. =.=; so those who wash their clothes chiong to get their clothes in. o i think i went to get my towel too. not really i want to wash it. but THE ANTS ATTEMPTED TO BUILD A NEST ON IT! ahh i remember already, then last night i still went down in the middle of the night to soak my poor towel in water, hoping to drain the ants. evil celeste was still laughing at me.. cambodian ants too pro already, cos they can swim!!! GROSS GROSS GROSS!!! so in the end, at night i had to pick them out one by one again =.=; so dumb, what for did i soak them in water overnight...
funny stuff that happened during painting today...
if i never remember wrongly, today was the day that i got my nickname of coconut.. cos theavy they all were around and they had nothing to do cos they cant really help us paint that much so they started thinking of nicknames for us. dont ask me why im called coconut. until now i still dont understand... then cos i also quite childish haha, i started teaching her weird nicknames too like gorilla. wanted to use that on kokleong cos that day celeste was laughing at his hairy legs LOL. in the end, theavy called kokleong cinderella which is actually better than gorilla hahahah! pam is potato, sharan is mango, celeste is papaya (since last year), nic is monkey, jean is the banana who is always "eaten" by nic, liqian is ah gong, yijie is ah ma hoho. and thats how our family tree is formed lalala~~
eh and i think got one night where i went to be the guiding light for kokleong, shaoming, liqian and yijie to throw rubbish. dunno why suddenly mentioned something very zai about liqian, and yijie said "thats why ah ma married ah gong mahh.." haha seriously that line was damn funny cos it didnt came out from us but ah ma him/herself LOL. ooo and szeying's name was saved as LOVE in theavy and narong's phone hahaha!! so that day i keep using that one to spite her hahahaha. her reaction damn funny. XP
thats all, my memories all not in order already hahahah!

i need to speed up on my blogging! if not i think i will forget everything soon!! :(
5th day. 14th December.
as usual, the morning routine. :) today is wash clothes day again! i wash mine every 2 days. haha. same as apple heh. oo both of us are always the latest to wake up unless we are washing clothes lol. but apple more zai, when she washing clothes, she really wakes up damn early! o.o o yah today i am supposed to prepare breakfast too. so i think i woke up at 6am actually, so i went to look around for shaoming but he kinda disappeared lol. then after that, when i asked him, he said he was in the toilet =.=;; so i went up and took my clothes down to wash lor. o and my queue number was 3 at 6am... >< and actually i didnt do much for today's breakfast cos we just need to cook hot water for the hot drinks. and i dunno why w/o me knowing it, the hot water was already there and got many KPOs around taking orders for the drinks haha. so i just slack lo hahahaha! :)
after breakfast, we went to the market again! halfway walking to the market, huili said she was feeling unwell, so kokleong and szeying accompanied her back to the youth centre. poor huili and evil her says its because of my dinner >< RUBBISH! hahaha. meanwhile, jean and i were taking photos of this bottomless but super cute boy.. yeah we, the two pedophiles =.=;; we seriously tried very hard to take proper photos of him w/o taking the bottom. luckily we managed to haha. :)
so we headed off to the market and buy paint! the designs were drawn by sandy and me! haha they voted for the designs the night before during reflection session again. so i had to settle the colours yesterday night too :) haha very fun leh, long time never do colouring already whee~ o and by now, can tell that the daily programs meeting at night is nothing but a bridge session in disguise haha! jean, also the bridge addict and the disciples of many bridge masters like ME will just brief for a while then after that its bridge session again. =.=; damn funny lorh. haha! well but that extends the night :) and for me, every night is accounting with the 3 PDs. but accounting is also another talk-cock session in disguise, haha shhh....
kk back to painting.. oo and in the midst of buying paint, i think lao ba went to buy sugarcane for us! whee! sugarcane~~~ for the main background, it is pastel pink/blue. i think the blue was the original blue, but well it is a nice blue so who cares. haha. but the pink was a much lighter shade then the original so yeah still got difference la. :) bought enamel paint for the painting of the designs. cos enamel paint gives a brighter colour but a harder wash off stain on your hands too. I HATE THINNER/TURPENTINE!! >< cos they make me scream in pain if not dealt with properly. ><
lucky they got buy gloves for me. hee. saved my hands from being washed with those poisons.. :)
after we reached the centre, we started with scraping the walls first. scraping very tiring worh, cos the hands must move non-stop and if you never apply enough force = no work done at all. lucky got enough people to change shifts if not all sure very cui by lunch. and the kids got help us with scraping too! so nice of them :) oo today's cooks are yijie and pamelyn! haha. lunch is pasta. :) meanwhile, during scraping, celeste and nic along with the previous batch PDs came back! ^^ poor huili still resting upstairs cos she is down with both LS and fever. *pats* and apple the first aid is upstairs with her. haha.
after lunch, a few of us continued with scraping while the rest started with the whitewashing. and seriously, the paint is damn hard to open can! poor celeste cut herself while attempting to open the paint.. just came back only then tio cut already. o and nic also got cut while scraping the walls.. =.=;; so after that we must wear gloves while scraping the walls to prevent similar accidents from happening again. both of them must be yesterday enjoy too much so now come back dunno why got cut >< and finally shaoming became the hero cos he is the pro at opening all those paints now. log head 萬歲! yeps, all the whitewashing and scraping were done before dinner time :) the kids also joined in for the painting haha. ^^
after the whitewashing, washed our hands and cleared the mess. after that, i went to collect my clothes and went up to check out on huili. oo her fever really quite high lo, cos it was like 39.X before dinner. so scaryy. but luckily she still can joke la, so not that bad yet. she is still conscious haha.
after dinner, i went up to see huili again, and also kinda took over celesteto let her go down and eat dinner too. then after a while, chitchin took a bowl of porridge up for huili to eat already.. oo and this is how his nickname of 老爸 came about! haha cos kokleong was there too then when he saw chitchin coming up, he said "老爸的愛心粥來了！" so the rest of us just followed and called chitchin 老爸. haha. and we sat around there to talk cock until the time for debrief session came.
after the debrief session, they went to check on huili's temperature again and were contemplating whether there was a need to send her to hospital if her temperature still continues to remain that high for the next two hours.. >< but luckily, huili's temperature went down if not we will have one less person again :( phew. and no one to quarrel with me! so sian...
yeps and everything was a happy ending today lalalala~

4th day. 13th December.
yay. today is another brand new day. and i think i am always one of the latest to wake up. tsk tsk. anyway, today's breakfast is specially prepared by celeste and liqian. poor them woke up damn early in the morning to prepare lor. however, they put too little water into the rice. so the porridge ended up becoming kuetupat as defined by celeste. =.=; to us, it is just defined as lumpy rice.
oo and today shaoming and me are the cooks! ^^ so i had to go to the market again to buy vegetables (which i dont eat) and other stuff la. haha. yupps, actually last night we discussed our menu already. luckily, cos i really have no wish to stay in the market for too long. if i never remember wrongly, huili and sharan tagged along to help us carry stuff and give me some courage. cos that time, i was still quite grossed out by the market. it was only after this 3rd trip that i find the flies ok.. yeps, so after buying, we quickly headed back to the center. and on the way back, we bought the sugarcane drinks again! the sugarcane drinks are really a daily "necessity" haha!
cooking for lunch.lunch today is fried noodles with pork ribs! plucking beansprouts was so irritating, cos we were plucking beansprouts for 17 people's share. aww. so after getting ready the ingredients needed to be put inside the noodles, the official cooking starts! we experimented with the noodles quite a bit, cos we totally dont want it to turn into fried rice like what the previous batch did. we tried frying it with and w/o oil lol and concluded that oil is necessary. and apart from oil, water is necessary too! yeps, and under the guidance of szeying and sandy, we managed to cook nice fried noodles!! oo then i took out my mum's secret recipe of ikan bilis and i think they added nice flavour to the noodles! muahahaha! and everyone said the ikan bilis were nice! :) lunch is overall a SUCCESS! once again, with thanks to sandy and szeying! ^^
after lunch, there was no dry run for programs, and the whole programs team was busy with learning the nobody dance. and then the rest were slacking, napping or having their own chats. i think i was writing letters to the SPs. yeah and it was also during this time that the PDs summon us for an emergency meeting. they announced that sandy had to leave urgently due to some personal reasons, so PSK officially had one person less.. so sadd..... narong and theavy were also damn sad cos they really liked sandy alot. so before sandy left for the airport, we took photos with her, oo and i passed her the present that was supposed to be given to her on christmas. yeah she is my SP. hahah. well.. then after that day, me, szeying and huili became sean's SP cos we took over her. celeste and sister nicole accompanied sandy to the airport so that day they kinda enjoyed life over at the hotel, eat good food and AIRCON! so good.. but so not good that sandy left.. hais.
dinner was egg mixed with other ingredients, vegetables, soup and sausages. and sadly, i think we bought the wrong rice, i.e we bought glutinous rice so dinner was lumpy rice mixed with seaweed seasoning. i think lucky got seaweed seasoning if not lumpy rice really very hard to swallow. when i was chopping the sausages for my egg, huili said that looked like dog food! HMPH. evil evil. oo and shaoming was super insistent on his long beans egg. sighs, i told him not to buy so many long beans already, then end up wasted quite a bit. tsk tsk. still, dinner was overall not bad! whee!!
after dinner, washed dishes, then we headed to learn Nobody from the programs team! :) haha, i think our progress quite fast, cos alot of steps were simplified. not bad not bad. heh. haha then after that, huili and sean were "forced" to do duet! everyone go see kokleong's video!! super scandalous woo!! so exciting. hahaha! so after all the dancing, i think all of us quite cui already. and lucky lao da and lao ba bought an extra fan for us that day. so the night became more cooling, lucky ah.... oo and another lucky thing is. TONIGHT NOT MUCH INSECTS WOOTS! hahaha! so tonight i didnt suana whee! feel so excited about not having to suana LOL. and i think today everyone after the dancing was tired, so everyone slept early! :)

sidetrack sidetrack... lalala. back to singapore life.
after coming back from cambodia, had one outing to celebrate szeying's birthday on 29th! met up earlier with shaoming, huili and jean to buy presents then headed over to minds cafe to play board games lo. haha dinner was my long awaited chicken rice. i've been craving for it in cambodia already lol. haha but i think all of us quite cool. like all of us really treasure the friendship we made. nice nice! :) then soon after that, we had another outing one week later! avatar 3d movie outing! avatar is nice. movie effects damn cool. :) proudly organised by jean and shaoming! wooo! that was a whole day thing, movie in the morning, sakae buffet in the afternoon, K at night. hahaha! so zai right! :) :) the people who survived until the K outing were jean, pamelyn, celeste, nic, youwee, yijie and of course me la. when waiting for time to pass before we set off for teo heng, we were actually playing with the spot the difference machine hahaha! eh but still we couldn't break the record! damn. nvm i think we can try again next time :)
countdown was spent with yuqin and jinglin, felt quite guilty cos i forgot to write them xmas cards and buy them souvenirs from cambodia. but cos i didnt buy stuff for family too so yah. shouldnt buy for friends too. they should come together :) so we watched alvin and the chipmunks II. the movie really v cute k. should go watch! then played mahjong until 4+ 5am. after which slept, and headed to clementi Kbox the next morning for KLunch :)
had a FOC publicity meeting at ps on wednesday too. settled the drafts of the shirt designs. good not bad quite efficient but i found the designs not very practical. but well, they say just let the ops director see. so ok lor. heck la. my heart not fully in FOC yet.. still in PSK. so yah. ><
then on thursday, went to have dinner with ex-HSA colleagues, kaihui, cynthia and marck. was discussing about bidding for modules and other random stuff. then in the afternoon before meeting them, i went to have my hair dyed! whee! finally! i like my hair colour now. cos it was actually the brown i wanted for my first hair colour which faded to the yellow brown thing. so i hope this brown doesnt fade.. the next colour i shall dye it to be a lighter brown. :) met up with cynthia after that to go visit liping cos it was her last day. liping and her colleague then helped us drew makeup haha cos there were no ppl around there too. haha so we just sat there and let them play around with our face. heh quite fun leh especially for me cos i rarely put on makeup :)
yeps, thats the brief summary of all my random outings! :)

3rd day. 12th December.
Breakfast was the sugar crackers bought in the market the previous day plus hot drinks (milo, tea and coffee). then we headed off to the market again. today celeste and liqian were cooking, so they had to go market and buy the ingredients. the rest followed to get a feel of how to buy food for the rest of the days too. although, it was the 2nd time going to the market, some of us (me and jean especially) were still quite grossed out by all the flies hovering around and the mega rubbish dump. =.=;; apart from buying food, the rest went to buy stuff needed for washing clothes and dishes too.
after the market trip, we slacked around waiting for lunch to be ready hahaha. oo i think i went to wash my clothes too. if not i would have no shorts to wear already.. haha. the first time wash clothes experience was quite fun especially when you see huili putting too much detergent and ended up squeezing her clothes like mad. HAHA. oo cambodia sun is really very good, your clothes can dry up in like 3,4 hours. towards the middle/end of the trip, people start waking up damn early to wash clothes (before breakfast or after) and the clothes will dry by lunch time. damn powerful sun.
those not washing clothes obviously will go to the kitchen and kpo la. haha. quite fun to see people cook though :) lunch today was pasta with home made sauce made purely from the greenish tomatoes bought at the market. zai zai. haha!
after lunch, we then had dry run for games... games were quite fun leh, we were totally like some kids playing around with each other. hahaha! good job programs team! :) but i think the explanation wise maybe would be actually more difficult with the cambodian kids cos of their english standards.. other than that shdn't be a problem la. ^^
then, dinner followed after the dry run! :) but ya as usual cos it was already dark by dinner time just like yesterday, the insects came again... GRRRR!! so because of those stupid insects, i am almost always the one to finish dinner first. o and thats partly because i was v picky with food so ended up didnt eat much too. haha. good good can slim down. yeps, so i just waited for a few others to finish their dinner too, and we quickly chiong to wash dishes, so i can find some shelter from those stupid insects. >< after all the washing up = the daily night debrief = mosquito killing sessions. seriously those mosquitoes are damn fat and there are many species (small, big, fat, thin, u name it, there will be). whole day kill until the hands are literally filled with blood. ><
tonight was also a memorable night, cos it was fright night. not those haunted house kind, but imagine a room with raining insects, and u will know why it is fright night. they had a sudden idea to put up the mosquito netting covering celeste, sandy, sharan and pamelyn. and it was damn scary cos all the insects suddenly just crowded round the mosquito net. so if u r inside the mosquito net and planning to study insects, you will be DAMN HAPPY. seriously. so when the lights were off that night, the insects just started jumping around... =.=; and jean was the closest to the net, followed by me. hais poor jean, she got scared until cry just like me yesterday. and amazingly i didnt cry. i think its cos i cant see them so i not that scared. and jean was the opposite of me, cos she cant see them so she was damn scared. so both of us ended spamming the insect repellents on our sleeping bags. but there was a buzzing sound near my ears that night, and i just hallucinated myself to think that its apple's handphone vibrating (but actually it was not >< cos apple said her phone was off) o and it was because of this night that gave rise to the sauna sisters (jean and me). we were totally sweating in our sleeping bag but just refused to get out. and we ended up feeling ultra sticky the next morning, like we just finished exercising =.=; i dunno how i fell asleep that night, i must have strong self-hypnotising powers. o.O cos jean told me the next morning she totally couldn't sleep at all or is very minimal sleep.. poor jean... yups and thats the end of the memorable 3rd day.
