yinyue and i decided to go back to Dunman last fri. been saying tt we should go back for a visit, since DH is going to move to mount sinai at the end of the year.
haha yinyue was so on, even wore the DH pe t-shirt. we soon realised tt the only students we recognised were the sec 4s, who were in sec 1 when we were sec 4. saw some familiar faces who i recognised as bball juniors but cant rem all their names. haha~
first teacher we saw was tan tui gee! haha he was takin class photos for the classes.. remembered how he always made us laugh while taking class photos. den he would take those candid shots while everyone was laffing.
not bad at all, we saw quite some teachers, including the ever-beautiful miss pear, miss loh, miss june loh, mr chew, and even mr kiw! haha~ miss loh has taken over as the teacher in charge for bball, and she spent almost 15 min complaining to us abt the underperformin team this year. haha~ we managed to get coach's phone number from mr chew! yay finally got his contact. called him immediately.. haha he sounded the same! just like the lao jiao lian we rem him as.
we ate at the school canteen. haha i missed the niang dou foo!
haha eating my fav ndf!
the dunmanians were staring at us like we were a couple of aliens who dropped in frm outer space. not surprising, we looked super at of place in the canteen swarming with dunmanians, not helped by the fact that yinyue's hair was bleached like an ah beng's.
played abit of bball at the courts.. haha we were glad tt by that time recess was over and there was no one to see our now sucky bball skills.
our fav slacking spot during training.. muahaha
haha~ to think that miss loh was asking us to come back to DH to help train up the juniors. diaoz

thurs, met up with yy, ys and pk at cine. yy was to be the official organiser of the most successful dhs bball reunion to date-we were expecting a full force to turn up, to celebrate maris's return to singapore frm the US. problem was, no one could contact maris! we had no idea when her plane was touching down in singapore!
the 4 of us, while waiting for the rest to come, decided to go watch pirates of the caribbean-dead man's chest. cool movie! i have a crush on Jack Sparrow.
the early birds!
haha~after the movie maris still hasnt contacted us and we were getting worried. realised its gonna be damn funny if everyone turns up and the maris doesnt! haha~angela joined us soon after and we went to cafe galilee for dinner.
we were playing cards at the cafe when finally, maris called! haha got her to come down to cine! by tt time it was like already 10 pm. decided to go to k box! cant believe it, its the longest k box experience i ever had! we spent abt 7 hrs in k box! went in at 11pm and stayed till 6 am the next morning! haha~
bballers unite!
but it was really fun..sang till i had no voice. we played cards in the room as well. haha i still cant figure out how to play bridge!
nice seeing the bballers again. too bad it wasnt a full force after all, but still, quite successful by our usual standards, all thanks to maris! =))
sat, met chian siew to go to NUs high for flag. we were lost for awhile at nus high. haha~nus law fac organised this 'flag day' at nus high for the MINDS students. haha the nus high kids are quite interesting. brought the MINDS kids to ard to diff game stalls.
left early for hc speech day. only 8 pple for 71 turned up! haha it was an afternoon of stoning. thank goodness i was sitting with jieying, limin and richmond (all the lims) if not i will be even more stoned. fell asleep during mr ang's speech. whoops.haha reminded of the times when i slept thru lectures.
the reception after the ceremony was v good, as usual. hwa chong's receptions never disappoints! haha~

had a bbq nite and stayover at ailin's over the weekend. haha the bbq was quite pathetic cos we initially had some trouble starting the fire and, after starting the fire, we could not produce any chicken wings which did not end up the colour of charcoal. haha~~ but the marshmallows were great! fun to just chit chat while bbqing marshmallows. ailin's enlarged marshmallow was really hilarious. too bad din get a photo of it. cracked everyone up like crazy.
after the bbq we had some not-so-sweet jelly as desserts. den played board games e.g monopoly and cluedo while waiting for the germany-portugal match to start. quite a good turn out for this stayover, pple who went were me, ger ,suan,huilin, lileng, amanda, cheryl, hanjie, yisheng, anthon, damian, khengwee and of cos ailin.
the germany-portugal match was really exciting, esp the second half. quite disappointed tt germany was not leading at half time. made me lose money. thot my 5 dollar wager with singapore pools on a 3-1 scoreline was going down into the drain when suddenly, wham, germany got a goal. the next thing i know, i was looking at a 3-0 scoreline. haha~ suddenly found myself rooting for portugal, thought i cant stand C.Ronaldo. haha figo's cross was masterclass. a 3-1 scoreline in the end left me with a fatter wallet for the weekend. yayz. haha none of the 71 pple could stand c.ronaldo. arrogant and dirty player, tts wat i tink.
tuesday, went for sentosa outing with og 6. og 6 is almost as bad as 71, in terms of latecomers. haha~ beach volleyball was a failed attempt as we played 'ultimate frisbee with a volleyball'. quite fun la. den played some more beach volley. after tt we went to holland v for lunch. quite funny this girl at the table beside us was passing some comment abt law students just as we were taking our seats. so happened tt lynette, who was wearing the law camp t-shirt, was seating with her back facing her. haha~tink the girl realised tt and kinda shut up.
we played games like 'stock exchange' and indian poker, den kelvin drove us to bukit timah plaza to play pool. limin met us dere to join us cos me and michelle were actually going to meet up with her for dinner. so impressed with the pool masters kelvin and moses! haha my pool skills suck like hell. v sad how i nv managed to play any game which involves the use of sticks or rackets well. hai.

didnt go for rag practice cos i had to bring grandma to SGH for her medical appointment. her medical appointment was in the morning and my mum was unable to take leave. so i decided to volunteer my services. haha my blur popo brought along the wrong appointment card. brought the CGH one instead of the SGH one. the receptionist looked totally confused when i handed her the card. haha~
grandma's usual doctor had an emergency surgery that morning, so she had to see a medical officer instead. we waited for a good 2 hrs in total--only for a 5 min consultation. not to mention the stupid MO cant understand a word of mandarin or hokkien. thank goodness i was there to help translate. the most annoying thing is that he did nt seem remotely interested in wat my grandma had to say at all.. was just in a hurry to get it over and done with. i was really pissed.
after tt went to meet suan and ger at orchard to shop.
where's yisheng?
haha` we had a lot of time to kill as we were supposed to meet up with some others from the class only at 10thirty to catch the 3 am france vs portugal match. we killed time by shopping ard and sitting at cafes etc.den we went to the MINDS cafe, which is actualy a board games cafe. played brainless games cos none of us were in the mood to think. haha~ khengwee came to join us.
den we went to plaza sing to meet hanjie. went to istana park to play cards. we had to stop our card game midway cos we tot the security guard was going to come and arrest us or sth. haha~ quite unglam la we were sitting in the dark, in the middle of the pavement in istana park. haha~
we killed some more time at macs while waiting for our movie at 12.30 am. GV was havign this promotion thing for world cup. so we get to watch the movie 'zoolander' for only 2 bucks. haha the movie is one of the lamest i ever watched. its a movie abt male models and the characters in it are all 'himbos'. but some parts were quite hilarious.
walked to chijmes to catch the match. it was like a mini france national day dere. the french pple were all singing loudly in anticipation of the match. haha~ we couldnt get seats outside so went into the pub instead for the match. the match was quite exciting. tink its pretty shiok watching in a pub. got more qi fen. france won as expected... hai too bad i couldnt find any singapore pools outlet at orchard road. would have won some money =((
went to macs for breakfast before heading home. it was already 8 am by the time i hit the sack. fun fun day!

met up with yy at bedok to catch a movie at the bedok princess cinema. haha i have nv been there for a movie and was quite curious, after hearing lotsa 'horror stories' abt that cinema. frens have reported seeing mice, cockroaches etc.. haha. but the tickets are cheap! only 5 bucks! we bought tix to scary movie 4 cos neither of us had watched it, den went to pizza hut for lunch.
scary movie 4 was lame, as expected. i was glad tt my ticket costed only 5 bucks. if not it would have been more of a waste of money. 2 of us actually planned to go to the gym after the movie, but being the lazy pigs tt we are, we quickly forgot abt our gymming plans. haha~~went to the library to borrow some books (i figured tt i should start improving my knowledge, now tt i am going to do law). after dropping by yy's place.. we set off.. to shop at orchard! haha it was a total change from our initial plans, but well, why am i not surprised.
we went to far east first before moving on to heerens. i tink GSS at orchard is not bad at all! we found lotsa good bargains, certain shops were even having 50 to 70% discounts! haha~~ so exciting. we both bought lotsa things.. i spent abt 100 bucks in total. i could practically see my fat wallet slowly diminish in size as we shopped. haha~ at the end of the day i was only left with 2 five-dollar notes. sad.
tts wat i like abt shopping. cos it nv fails to make me feel happy and sad at the same time. haha~~
da feng shou!! yay
to all: enjoy this last leg of the GSS! =))

been at law camp from 26th june to 30th june.. and i must say law camp was quite an experience. since it was the first uni camp i went to, it was the first time i went thru things like the "secret pal" etc.
i was in OG 6, and there were 3 other Hwachongians in my group: vernon, michelle and of cos fangyi jie. pretty glad for this, i enjoyed the experience of singing our hwa chong songs aloud when we were walking from place to place.
i thought night court was very memorable, though draggy and it got abit ridiculous at the end. thought the "plants" were really good, fooled everyone.. can nv forget how tense the atmosphere was at the start of night court, when the "judges" were giving a hard time to all the pple who went up to present.
we had jungle trek on the second night. ended up being blindfolded for the whole night.. the year2 seniors directed us by using the phrase "follow my voice..follow my voice" continuously. which got really irritating after one whole night. haha~ there were alot of tekaning in law camp.. but i guess just have to relax and take things less seriously in order to enjoy..
og 6 before the formal dinner
last night of the law camp was a formal dinner with our secret pals. gosh my secret pal and i were really terrible. as in there was no common topic at all. ended up talking to another guy sitting next to me instead.in the end i couldnt stand the awkwardness anymore.. went to join the og. haha damn bad.
after the dinner the og went out to cafe iguana at the riverside for drinks and to play "never have i". i am pretty shocked by all the revelations. gosh..
after one week of interacting with the law pple i guess they arent as bad as i thought. haha~ all v nice and fun pple. yupp.
anw on sat, hc 130 finally had our lng-awaited miss clarity outing!been 6 months since the last time we been there, including 3 failed attempts. we ordered chicken stew, pork roulade, baked rice and pizza. and mudooze for desserts of course! yumms.
i was telling them abt law camp and suan wanted to play "never have i" game too.so hc 130 played "never have i", with limejuice. haha~~ pretty fun. i missed hc 130 so much!
was too lazy to go to chua chu kang to go for the council stayover, so i went home to catch the england-portugal match. so sad tt england is out! but i guess they dun deserve to win la.. eng had been really lousy in this world cup..
