friendly match yesterday vs punggol.
so sad, we lost 2-3. ):
but like what pinky says, if we count in the 2 sets we played against them during the tournament, we won them 4-3. hah! :D
met the vballers at punggol sec.
phew, i thought i was gonna be late.
creshelle, elaine and jieyu were even later.
hoho. and this time jiaolian didnt say "k nvm tk ur x"
lost the first 2, won the next 2.
you see, we need time to warm up.
we just cant play morning matches well.
LOL, jieyu says that she has "morning sickness"
but anyway, we lost the last set. bleh.
we were about to leave, then saw HCI vballers.
LOL. HAHAHAHA.
too bad janet wasnt there.
and shanisca was so disappointed cos she didnt see her no.4 aww.
went tamp after that.
NATIONAL TREASURE! very very nice. :D
wanted to watch the 3 o clock show at tm but i couldnt cos i had to be home by about 5.
in the end vballers watched the 2 o clock show at century. yay thankyou all <3
then after the show me and kimberly er, needed the toilet.
but the others insisted on going all the way down to the nice toilet at the 2nd level. -.-
so kim and i just chionged to the toilet without them.
then aft that we went down to find them.
went to the 3rd level toilet thinking it was the the 2nd.
and we were going like "very nice meh?"
then we saw that it was quite empty, so they couldnt be inside.
went out then realised we were at the wrong level. lol.
so went down to the CORRECT LEVEL, and found them.
.. the toilet isnt even that nice lor.
went to toys r us to play for awhile. lol.
then took bus back with pinky, kimberly, and jieyu.
yay. :D
DESPAIR. 4:38 PM
*continued from the previous post*
as i was saying, the horn thing was damn funny.
one person from each table was suppose to go blow the horn succesfully before their table would be served chocolate fondue.
haha, succesfully as in producing sound using the horn.
so yeah. my bro went to blow, and he managed to produce sound.
then my uncle went also, he was saying, "CANNOT LOSE TO A NINE YEAR OLD BOY"
damn funny, then he tried so many times, still no sound.
then he said, "i call my son come help, he very good one. my daughter also."
lol, then they all can blow, only he cannot blow. LOL lah.
i also managed to blow, but only after a few tries. lol.
DAY FIVEstopped by this very old castle in geneva.
built in the 13th century i think. cooooool.
then went to some xmas market.
not much things to buy there except food.
had lunch there, then walked around, then ate somemore, then walked around somemore, then ate somemore.
thats about it. oh, and the toilet there super smelly and dirty. :x
lol.
went to the see the olympic capital after that.
wanted to buy a watch, but it was too big. and the size couldnt be adjusted so didnt buy.
dinner after that, we had chinese food.
bleeeeeeh. go switzerland to eat chinese food, i find it kinda ridiculous lah.
s'pore hav so much chinese food to eat, go all the way to swiss still wanna eat chinese food.
should eat western. but then again, we ate western food everyday, got kinda sian.
went back to hotel. that hotel totally rocks!
the corridor looked very cruise-like. and the toilet was so cool.
its walls were made or tinted glass and inside the toilet theres this magnifying mirror thing. so coooooool.
BUT, just like most of the other hotels, the toilet door cannot lock one -.-
it was still quite early, so the adults went shopping.
then sean (some guy form the same tour)came over to our room to play cards.
played hearts, very fun + funny.
oh, then the adults came back. and my mum bought another watch.
and it was swatch. haha, so i can borrow from her. :D
DAY SIXsightseeing in geneva.
this time there was a city tour guide who came.
zzz. i was trying to listen to what she was saying but like omg, it was like trying to pay attention to a history lesson.
all the history stuff, blablabla.
so until now i still dont really understand anything.
anyway, it was a sunday.
and we went to church! haha.
the churches there are so pretty.
very old, with really nice decorations.
and although its damn big, the seating capacity seems very small. lol.
and the pipe organ is so so so nice. so cool lah also lah.
drove to france after that.
more sightseeing, and we went to another church.
lol i think all the churches there probably look the same.
dinner after that, it was so dumb okay.
there was a reservation for our tour group at 6.30.
it was about 6 when we went to the restaurant. then the person dont let us go in cos she said it wasnt 6.30 yet. -.-
saw we were left outside, and it was really cold at that time. the woman so evil lah.
so we went to walk around the area. someone from our tour went into this bookshop, then the whole tour followed also.
lol, duno why. probably cos too cold outside, and there was nothing to do, so everyone went in to get some heat. heh.
soon, it was almost 6.30, so we walked back to the restaurant.
reached there at 6.25. that person still dont let us in, make us wait outside for 5 more minutes before we could go in. wth lah -.-
DAY SEVENa really really interesting day.
had to tahan a 10 hour bus journey to loire valley.
TEN HOURS ON THE BUS!
i actually survived it. wooooh.
so what we did on the journey.
sleep sleep sleep. play cards. sleep somemore.
watch movie. :D
half of moulin rouge and the da vinci code.
only HALF on moulin rouge cos our dear tour leader realised that she left the part 2 cd at home. LOL.
oh and the journey included lunch break and toilet breaks.
and during one of the breaks we were eating ice-cream. :D
super hard, cold, un-meltable icecream. yum.
zz. i was having motion sickness on the bus lah. charis also.
then when we finally reached the hotel we both looked so sian sian one. haha.
felt better awhile later. (:
we had about 45 minutes before we went shopping, so charis and i came up with an amazing idea.
PRANK CALLING. xD
we called almost every single room in which our tour members stayed in.
lol. this was when i realised that there were so many variations of "hello"s.
it was so funny, i was trying so hard not to laugh.
went shopping, then dinner.
played cards at night with the usual people.
me, charis, leon, sean.
we were playing cards while watching Dodgeball.
LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH.
but i wasnt really laughing at the show, since i watched before.
i was laughing at sean's laughter. its ridiculously funny.
DAY EIGHTvisited two chateaus that day. chambord and chenonceau.
guided tour again, which also meant history lesson again. lol.
the tour guide was telling us about the kings with his queens and mistresses blablabla. all those stuff.
i prefered chenoceau to chambord, more interesting there.
kinda freaky though
so many people died there before. since it was also used as a hospital during world war 1.
and also, the chateau seems kinda unstable. i mean, its so old already.
we were in one of the rooms, then i started jumping.
er, not really jumping, but bouncing lah. whatever you call it.
then whenevr i bounced, could hear the windows shaking. and i wasnt even standing very near the window. LOL.
DAY NINEwent to paris!
quite different from what i imagined it to be.
in a bad way i guess.
its very dirty there, cigarettes and rubbish all over the floor.
okay i cant rmbr what we did for the whole day.
i only remembered shopping at night.
DAY TENwent to see the arc de triomphe.
then the eiffel tower.
went to see it from afar first, took pictures and all.
it looks so pretty!
then went up the eiffel tower, to the 2nd level.
really nice view from up there. :D
louvre museum after that.
saw sculptures, paintings,
and the MONA LISA!
there were so many people crowding around the it, it was damn hard to get up close to take a picture.
lol, and our tour guide was saying, half the people crowing around the mona lisa are pickpockets.
i bet they'll probably end up stealing from each other. haha.
went out of the museum after that to see the glass pyramid.
DAY ELEVENlast day. ):
day at leisure, so we asked around to see if theres any interesting places to go to.
in the end we went took the metro (train) to Chatalet.
shopped, then went for lunch.
zz. one bottle of water there costs 4.80 euros.
thats about S$10 for four cups of water.
super ex lah.
and we asked for water cos we thought it was free. zz.
wouldnt have asked for it if we known.
went walked around for awhile more, then went back to the hotel to get our luggages.
wanted to take group photo but there was no time, had to go to the airport alr.
so what charis and i did in the end was go around and take photo with everyone in the tour group.
but not enough time to take with everyone, so only managed to get a few.
how sad.
boarded the plane, watched movies again. :D
ratatouille, chuck & larry, failure to launch, 881, death at a funeral.
didnt really like 881, not my type of show.
i only watched it cos leon and charis kept saying that it was very nice. lol.
then reached singapore, but our flight was delayed by 15 minutes cos of heavy rain.
heh, luckily. the flight delay allowed me to have enough time to finish watching death at a funeral. yay :D
okay. thats all, end of story.
DESPAIR. 2:33 PM

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! (heh i lazy make the letters
greenredgreenred)
training yesterday was _______. (i duno how to describe it so i'll just settle it with a blank)
i woke up like half an hour late cos i couldnt sleep the night before D:
lol. blame it on jet lag.
my jieqiu was damn shitty lah.
couldnt get my contact right.
but it was great to meet vballers again.
YIJIAREN, YAY<3lunch after training, :D
chocolates and pizzas, thankyou mr tay and mr ng and mrs bok! (:
now for the europe trip.
but no pics yet, still havent uploaded them yet.
DAY ONE. lol, dun even know why they consider this is one day -.-
went to the airport, checked in the luggages and stuff.
blahblahblah. then went onto the plane.
watched the bourne ultimatum during which i fell asleep halfway. lol.
then woke up later and watched hairspray, hsm2 and stardust.
DAY TWOarrived in frankfurt, germany. :D
jet lagged :\
i was super sleepy in the afternoon lah. luckily i managed to sleep in the plane if not it would hav been worse
anyway,
went to black forest first. its like so pretty can.
instead of black, it looks gray-ish white from far cos of the snow.
totally different from the snow i saw in japan last year.
its much thicker, and way nicer.
then went to see some cuckoo clock workshop.
the clocks were damn nice, damn cute, but damn ex. lol.
lunched, then had black forest cake.
niceee. but too much liqour already ._.
then headed for switzerland.
went to see rhine falls.
the biggest waterfall in europe.
but didnt look very big to me :x
probably cos we only saw part of it bah.
went back to hotel, then had dinner.
pork rib. bleh, i gave the whole piece away to leon.
cos i hate pork you see. :x
DAY THREEdid a little bit of shopping at bucherer then went up to mt titlis.
it was suppose to be an optional tour but almost the whole tour group went up. :D
had to take 3 cable cars up there.
first was the small one, about 6 ppl in one.
then was the bigger one. i think at least 50+ ppl inside.
and the last one was the revolving cable car.
at first i thought it would be the whole cable car revolving, but it was just the platform that we were standing on which revolved. chey.
haha. but it was still cool lah.
so we reached the peak of the mountain which was about 3000+m.
about -11 degrees there.
went out to play snow, take photos.
but it was so cold that my feet and hands were numb and my muscles became damn stiff.
couldnt even kneel down without my thighs hurting. lol.
lunched after that.
wine, water, coke and all the drinks there all almost same price one. lol.
so obviously buy wine right.
after that went to buy souvenirs and sent a postcard to myself. :D
went back, did somemore shopping at bucherer.
but there mostly sell all the branded watches, mostly stuff for the adults.
swatch was probably the cheapest brand there.
heh but i didnt buy any cos i just got a swatch present for my bday.
so i bu she de buy.
went to some bakery nearby to get our dinner.
bought pizzas, then walked back to the hotel to eat.
on the way back we saw this pasar malam-like place.
i was like, eh lets come back here to shop later.
so we continued back to the hotel.
ate pizza and cup noodles, then went back.
lol, guess what the "pasar malam" turned out to be.
it was some xmas celebration place.
with people caroling and selling wine and stuff.
haha. so malu. but we still went to shop anyway.
went to some souvenir shop, they were selling really cute switzerland shirts.
there was one that said "PLAY SWISS" with the playboy symbol thing. haha.
and another one that said "DESPERATE SWISSWIVES".
damn cute. but in the end i bought one with cows on it.
haha see, i'm so pure. :x
DAY FOURwent up the mountain again! :D
this time it was mt jungfrau, and it was higher than mt titlis, but cant rmbr exactly how high.
it was just as pretty though (:
took train up, had to switch train twice. so cool lah.
finally reached the top, then went out to play snow!
this time we were more prepared, we got toe-heat packs from our tour leader. :D
so we managed to stay out longer.
went back in, then everyone looked damn sick.
(i mean not sick sick, but not feeling well) lol.
high altitude = thinner air = less oxygen = not enough oxygen for people = people get giddy and feel like fainting.
aww so sad right.
like uncle henry said, PMTS. uh PMTS means pay money to suffer. LOL.
then went into an ice cave to see ice sculptures. super nice. :D
that night we stayed in a really cool hotel.
its like a swiss cottage, and the best thing was, we got a room at the highest level.
so in our room, the celing was slanted. one side of it was very low, the other side very high.
and at the high ceiling end they built an extra storey there.
so it was two beds below, and one bed on top, up at the extra level. cool.
charis and i slept at the bottom, leon slept on top.
lol, it was kinda freaky up there though, look like samara's room (the girl from the english version of The Ring).
free time after that, so went shopping.
chocolates chocolates and more chocolates.
saw this super straight bunch of bananas at the supermarket, shall post a pics of it some other day.
went for dinner, FONDUE! :D
started of with cheese fondue. nice, but the liqour smell very strong.
meat fondue was great too, especially the chicken.
lol, actually chicken was the only meat i took cos the other choice was pork. so of course to me chicken is the nicest. xD
oho. and the people there super friendly.
everyone from each table was suppose to blow some super long horn thing before they can be served the chocolate fondue.
something damn funny happened, LOL lah...
i shall continue my post another day, i have to go now.
mama's calling. :\

and it was super fun during rehersal, we were doing
gu dai xi!
HAHA, "killing" the guys with our spears.
and during our break we went out of church to buy bubble tea.
hoho, and we were wearing our er, egyptian costume.
lol. everyone was staring at us. a bunch of weirdos wearing white cloth walking on the street.
oh, and i finally watched enchanted.
with tingwei and iris. (:
duno why so many people say the show very nice.
its quite okay, but not that nice though.

DESPAIR. 11:44 AM
Monday, December 03, 2007
i'm posting, yay. :D
went for percussion practice on saturday morning.
but we didnt really practice much, most of the time was spent "beautifying" the bamboo poles. haha.
had to make them look like spears.
so wraped them in silver tape and used strofoam to covered with aluminium foil as the head.
after quite a long while we finally finished it.
then when we started practising and hitting each other's poles the strofoam started to drop out LOL.
went for justin's wedding after that.
CONGRATS TO JUSTIN AND KIMBERLY!
had phototaking after the wedding.
then the announcer guy was calling for petra cell group.
but he pronounced it as "PEE-TRA CELL GROUP"
HAHAHAHA. its supposed to be "peh-tra"! LOL.
then went for piano lesson.
and then back to church again for ypm.
actually i wasnt sure whether to go back to church for ypm anot, since my dad had to fetch me from church, to piano lesson, then back to church again. kinda mafan.
but i still went anyway. (:
dinner at banquet after that.
took a long long time to find seats cos there were quite many of us.
jasmine and shi juen (and i forgot who else :x) left earlier cos they had to go back to church for prayer meeting.
the rest of us stayed for awhile more.
then went to take photos at the christmas tree! haha.
at first i didnt know it was a christmas tree, cos i only saw the bottom of it and thought it was a bush. LOL.
the tunnel-like thing was blocking the view you see.
hahaha so paiseh. :x
went back to church.
i was waiting for charis, and sabrina was waiting for her sisters who were also at the prayer meeting.
so we waited together. (:
followed estella up to the chapel,
then awhile later she chased us out.
so we went to the lobby to wait.
then prayer meeting ended, went back with charis.
SUNDAY.
after service went for thanksgiving rehersal.
which ended only at 6 :\
our item was kinda screwed i guess.
quite un-coordinated, and some of the spear heads fell out again although we secured them with masking tape.
so went to practice somemore after that.
lol.
hope everything goes well on thanksgiving. (:
DESPAIR. 4:26 PM
