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!!
