Gosh look at the time now! I haven't eaten my dinner. But -- solving this great FTP mystery has made me feel a great sense of achievement. Heh.
Last week, at this time, I was trekking in the dark. Pitching bashas in the dark. *shudder* Walking in the dark forest is not my idea of fun.
Off to cook my dinner! :)

Dear unknown readers, I have moved to http://spooked.sinfree.net.
Yippie! I did it. This stupid thing was making me all puzzled and frustrated.
Remember the new URL! :)

Random thoughts

i. Just did some blog surfing. Realized alot of SN girls have blogs online. Unfortunately none of them I know personally. Found some blogs that I used to read.
ii. Haven't done any online tests for some time, any good ones to take?
iii. I really really need to start studying for my re-test, you know?
iv. I lack determination. Damn.
v. It's really too sian for me to really study hard! Argh!
vi. It's late. As usual.
vii. Shall make a new layout soon. This one is really screwed up. But first I need to find a good server and... anyone willing to host me?
viii. You know what? Time really flies. I just realized the swiftness of time as it swooshes by.
ix. Shall get one of those comment thingees soon.
x. I kinda miss OBS. Sigh.

OBS was... an experience. One that I would never be able to go through again. I didn't think that I could last through the whole 5 days -- you may think, what's 5 days compared to the 9 day camp? -- but I did. I never was an outdoor-sy, atheletic type who could run, jump, climb, swim and what-have-yous effortlessly. All the interaction between people, all the group sharing sessions, all the getting dirty, terrible terrible physical activities -- I thought I won't be able to tahan for 5 days. All these and more, which was all that OBS had to offer. Nevertheless, I tried, and that was enough.

I must have been potraying this self-image that I'm weak. Weak in what sense? Physically? Mentally? I beg to differ. Believe me, if I didn't even have the basic physical capability to go for OBS, I wouldn't even dare to try for it. Don't dismiss all girls as weaklings. Girls may be of the weaker sex but hey, maybe they can teach you things that you didn't even know! I can take good care of myself, thank you very much. I may not run as fast, may not kayak as quickly as others, may not be as adept in climbing, may not be strong enough, may not be experienced enough, but I have determination and perserverance. I will get through this course, no matter what.
Through these 5 days of torture learning, I learnt lots. Realized that I have a lot more in me, things that I never knew I had, things that I never knew I could do. I learnt more about teamwork, and interpersonal releationships, and these 5 days really tested my determination and perserverance, and I really pushed myself to the limit. Textbook answers, it may seem, but that is really what OBS could teach you.

In a nutshell:
Kurt. Vivian. The shoes game. Jumping onto canvass sheet. Running past hands. Games. Knot tying. Map reading. Rain. Ah-lian group. Lemon tree. Ground rules. Long queues for bathroom. PT at 5.55am. Kayak practice. Belaying. Inverted tower. Earning rations. Land expedition. Alpine challenge. Trashing out session. Over 10kg backpack. Trekking over 3km. Mosquitoes, mosquitoes and more mosquitoes. Walking in darkness in the forest. Blistered right foot. Bad food. Flooding basha. Cold, wet, damp. Sea expedition. Kayaking round Pulau Ubin. Tired, aching hands. In the sea for 6 hours. Wet, sandy and dirty. Powder baths. Nature's toliet. Thunderstorm. Comforting others. Cheering for others. Encouragement. Helping. Tired, fatigue. Fun. Joy. Bathing on Friday :). Sharing sessions. Signing autographs.
Going home.

Back. Home. Safe.

Well, hello again. :)
The past week has consists mainly of lectures early in the morning *yawn* and CIP at the Bukit Timah Salvation Army. Now that was quite an expericence. But I barely have enough hours. Need to do more CIP.
Oh yes! and I watched Harry Potter yesterday. Hee. It was a good movie, but I think lots of scenes and dialouge are missing? Hm. Can't remember. I don't own any HP books. Still prefer the book. I shall borrow the book from my friend and re-read again for the millionth time? Haha.
Tomorrow I'm setting off for OBS! Yes... my week of torture is just about to begin. Hope I'll return with enough life in me to blog again. Hee.
See ya in a week, dear readers! :)

Part I and Part II of my birthday. And here's what you call it? The Epilouge. Don't think I spelt that correctly. But the epilouge isn't very related to the day itself, but what the heck. It's just an entry about my *ahem* fascinating life.

I'm think I'm too free. Keeping up with two online journals takes up a lot of time. Hm. But... it's the holidays now, so I reckon I'll have more time to tidy up this blog? And keep my other one surviving? Haha.
Woah it's late. Gotta go sleep. Physics lecture tomorrow at 0930h!
I wonder why I publicize my life for all to see. Free show, eh? Wonder who reads my blog.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 is blasting on my speakers now.
Oh yeah and I'm slow, but I'm now 17! Been 17 for 4 days now. And my birthday was really a most memorable one. Love all my friends. :) I feel happy and loved.
Shall post an entry on my birthday in TOD. Will put up the link when I've finished. Now I feel like doing 1001 things and I don't have time to finish them. Even though today's a public holiday.
Okie, quizes!
