My week

Last Friday 2 Saturday
my homefellowship organized an advanced farewell for me. I know it's about 2 months away, but then that was the only school holiday the kids had before i leave. So, Uncle Trevor and Auntie Lorraine decided to open up their stay at the Palace of the Golden Horses.*thanx* 4 rooms, 3 families since Elizabeth n family couldn't make it. So, my sis n I got a room to ourselves, =) It's a 2 day 1 night thing..We met up at Jeremy's about 1pm, then we went for lunch at a nearby coffee shop. Then, it was the Palace. Activities of the day: swim, talk, talk, tv, talk, makan, bath..then red wine! n chat la..hehe..the adults thought I couldn't drink wine, so they were hoping I would get drunk and do silly stuff. Little that they know, my dad's been giving me drink wine n stuff since I was young. haha..after 2 full glass, I was still okay but not the rest of them la.. =p kinda funny actually,..we had short games before hitting the sheets. But I couldn't really sleep even after the wine, so I watch tv till i fell asleep. (got astro ma, not like home.)

Sunday
McDonalds' Breakfast with my family and cousin and her husband and later it was Times Square, w/o my parents la..My cousin & her husband took us for Shrek 3 since she promised my lil sis to do so. When we got there, it was still pretty early. So, we hung around the Toys' Fair. Then a girl approaches us and asked my sis if she wanted to join the Tamagotchi Colouring Contest. She was hestitant at first, but after knowing what were the prizes being offered, it was an OK! haha..Shrek 3 was fun! I enjoyed the movie actually, my sis was laughing and smiling throughout the movie..kinda cute la, in her own way..then, we went jalan-jalan. They insisted on getting me something before I leave, as a gift. They brought me to some kind of rugged looking shop and asked me to try on 2 pants. One was like an army designed baggy pants. Honestly, it makes me think of my Baju Loreng in NS..haha..only in different colour. But the price was a big shock! it was about RM200..so, back to the shelves! Then, we went to Metro, saw a few jackets, try them on, check the discount and price..and finally, I got a greenish jacket which I can use for normal days,except winter la. =) Anyway, as for the colouring competition, my sis got 3rd prize! =) She was so nervous when they were announcing the results, but after knowing that she had won what she wanted, she gained her appetite back again! haha..came back late night la..so tired. Then I remember I had to go out the next morning. *sigh*

Monday
I went to help out at a Kids' Camp to Sungai Congkak. I had no idea where it is actually, but since my piano teacher asked me to help out, I did. So I got Pei Yun to come along! *then not so sesat la* We had to gather there before 6.30am for our helpers' briefing. Pei Yun & I were in charge of security? It didn't matter much la..got to meet new people there, all from SMK Tmn Kosas..but one weird thing was one girl actually thought I was a participant and another asked me if I was in form 3-5? Do I really look that small ar? seriously, that camp is for primary school students le.. -_-" ..Then, we only departure at 8.30am? Since they rented a really small school bus, there were not enough seats. So, my sis had to take the bus with the other kids whereas py n I took the van. We went to pick up 2 other boys in Cheras before heading towards our destination. Long Journey! When we finally got there,we had sandwiches for breakfast, by the river. It was a weird spot to eat since it was dark, shaddy and wet. But the kids enjoyed that one-of-a-kind experience. Then, we walked n walked to our camp spot. Played a few games, collect dry sticks, leaves and stones to start fire and later cook instant noodles. But it rained the previous night, so dry items were hard to come by. Fire started and noodles cooking. Everything went just fine till Kelvin kicked the sticks supporting the pot. Water poured into our fire pit and another boy came along and our noodles spilled all over the place. hehe..the kids were already restless and starving at this point. After a while, noodles were served. But 2 noodles to be shared with almost 25 kids and 3 adults? *not enough food* Teachers cooked sardin and red bean, but it still wasn't enough. Then, a hero came along---ICE-CREAM MAN! hahaha..It was funny coz' Kelvin chased after the man, and the man got frighten and drove away! hahaha..then second ice-cream man came along, and everyone started buying. Bought one for my sis coz' she was literally starving as she's really picky of her food..After all these, we had some games and rain started pouring. So, more games. Then, when the sun came out, we started tracking uphill-to show the kids plants and nature..then rain again..stop..more rain..stop..heavy rain~~ Luckily, I brought an umbrella. When we were coming downhill, it started to rain really heavily. Kelvin wanted to share the umbrella with my sis, so he had to hold it for her. But my sis was enjoying kacau-ing him la..from behind, it was quite funny! ^_* Alice and the rest brought their umbrellas. The kids tied their shirts around their head to avoid the rain. =) Anways, it was fun! The kids weren't that bad afterall. We went home quite late la coz' we had a follow up to do. Then next evening was dinner!

Tuesday
After class, I had to rush home, shower and wait to be picked up. We were going for steamboat in Pandan Perdana to celebrate the success of the camp. People attended: Me!, Andrea, Alice, Ken, Jun, and the teachers. Kelvin and Pei Yun couldn't make it. We had lots to eat..they kept filling my plate with all sorts of dishes, especially lamb and beef! so, I needn't have to move anywhere but sit at my place and eat! haha..but I couldn't eat as much as all of them. So, I retired to ice-cream! hahaha..the food was okay la. Really enjoyed their company since it would be hrad to meet them again. But guess what, I don't think I spoke to Ken throughout the 2 days, verbally..even when he was next to me in the van..hehe..funny rite? He's the only one I never really talk to. Reached home at 10.20pm. Shower. Homework. Sleep.

Today Morning
Went swimming with my sisters at 8am. Had our fun till.. Kena marah tak tentu pasal by a woman, coz' everyone in the pool were swimming in a different direction. Instead of horizontally, they were swimming vertically of the pool. So, we had no choice but to follow. Then come weird stubborn woman,she kept insisting of swimming in the 'correct direction'. Almost bang into me when she was doing so, then she scold me. -_-" As usual la, look at her very blurly, then swim REALLY SLOW in front of her..haha..but no mood to swim anymore after that. So, we left the pool and went for breakfast.
