post-outing blues

whoo today is one of those times when i strongly want to blog. haha which is quite rare.

today was chorale outing to sentosa! and it just displaced some other less important day on my "year's 15 most memorable days" list. met deb, gerald, gen (in this order and gen was late!!!! =D) at bishan mrt first and went to buy snack food from NTUC, then met quan and val in the mrt and went to harbourfront. it takes about 25 minutes from bishan to harbourfront btw. then met kia liang, yong feng, isaac, joelle, charmaine, wenyi, geoffrey, julian at vivo and went to GIANT to buy water so we wouldn't shrivel up the beach. and i shall skip the part where i insisted half a dozen 1.5l bottles of mineral water were enough but turned out not to be enough etc etc.

after that we met geet, minsi, suet, clara, royce, joash, fried at the top floor of vivo where the ticketing counter for the monorail to sentosa was. waited forever and finally took the monorail across. haha and we saw the land where constuction was going on for the IR. oh and since it was my first time to siloso beach it was rather exciting :D then after we settled down and fooled around with the sand and threw fried's frisbee around a while, i went to join the people playing volleyball. hahaha more like sports for entertainment. we weren't very good compared to the super bronzed people around us who were quite pro...so gave up after a while after we managed to get 4 or 5 consecutive hits heh. went back to throw frisbee then when the volleyball people came back we played captain's ball. haha i think i'm becoming a lot more active and spontaneous during sports now. and getting a lot better at captain's ball. julian is not bad at catching..hahahahahaha. gerald isn't bad too. and yong feng can intercept too. haha not bad overall.

got bored after a while again, so went to find the girls playing with sand and making a really nice embossed sand "<3 chorale" and helped compact the sand grand piano charmaine and wenyi were making which was really nice. meanwhile the guys were trying to change kia liang into some mythical species hahahahaha. ok now comes the life changing moment. i was sitting by the water doing dunno what, then stupid ass tall person geoffrey pushed me into the water. RAWR. ok la wasn't THAT bad..considering i would have probably killed anyone who tried to dunk me. but since that took me by surprise i forgive him coz it was quite a good ploy which i didn't forethink -.- it was sort of fun swimming around in disgusting sea water though. although it wasn't very nice coz i was wearing a white t-shirt so only a bit translucent when wet. soon lots of people were wet so we swam around and played a bit in the water and some of us swam across to the island opposite to explore. ok skip the following repetitive events. geet and minsi left sometime before lunch.

the dry girls bought lunch back for us and we rinsed the eew seawater off under the showers and sort of dried off under the sun. that was around 3. suet had to leave before lunch for PW sadly, joash had to leave too, and joseph finally appeaered, and we celebrated geoffrey's birthday (1 day in advance). haha totally exciting with val cutting the cake and us giving him his conductor's baton and manuscript book. then we went cycling around the place which was quite bad coz there were too many vehicles around and no proper road solely for bicycles so we had to stop a lot. and my bike totally sucked. 1 of the brakes was spoilt so i had to rely on the backwheel brake. zzz. haha and we only cycled an hour, but since i take a long time to warm up for anything physical, my cycling was a bit shaky. kia liang's cycling is quite pro =D oh oh thanks kia liang for fixing my bike chain when it came out and getting our fingers greasy and stuff (:

when we got back to out base, gerald, julian, val, deb, charmaine, clara had to go home, so that left me, kia liang, royce, geoffrey, fried, joseph, yong feng, isaac, quan, joelle, gen, wenyi. we went to bathe and packed up and left wonderful siloso beach. geoffrey left to go somewhere after bathing. haha kia liang and i decided to wear our caps so our hair wouldn't look so exploded (in the end we had to wear it for the rest of the day coz our hair became really flat and my head looked like a ball with a fuse >.<) we returned to vivo, when joseph, royce and gen also left for their respective engagements. then left 8 of us. so we just walked around looking for a plce to eat and enjoyed our silent bonding time XD ate at banquet, then headed to the mrt. sadly the really great day was finally coming to an end. we all broke off at our respective stations to change mrt line and whatever, and i went back to bishan with quan since all the other bishanites and serangoonies had already gone home. thanks quan for giving up your car ride home to take mrt with me back to bishan =) and the rest of the going home story is a bit boring.

i feel like doing shout outs for chorale j1s now! hmm but i need to go write a card so i shall do some people first (:

Chorale shout-outs part 1 (in no particular order)

Wen-Yi: you're really really funny sometimes and nice to be around! and your diaphragm-pumping almost whistle-range laughter is quite funny too! yay i'm glad you joined chorale =D

Catherine: strong personality with a lot of initiative! thanks for all the times you volunteered to help with printing and laminating and helping out with miscellaneous stuff! haha likes to make fun of me but its ok i'm accomodating :D funny person who i don't disturb a lot for being a humans student XD maybe that will change soon :DDDD

Isaac: totally not self-conscious which is a good thing sometimes. resident bottomless-pit (i mean that in a good way :)) who doesn't mind doing people favours without expecting anything in return. he does lots of things which i roll my eyes at but we're used to it so its ok =)

Genevieve: hmm..not a bad welfairy la. i mean we're all still alive and surviving. so far. AHAHAHA ok but she gets things done. she's over the bimbo phase of her life (at least i think she is) and seems ALMOST normal nowadays but you never know =D my regular maths jokes target because the opportunities are simply too good to pass up XD ok i shall to lessen the hahaha-humans-student jokes. try. PUNCH

Yong Feng: nice quiet guy who is slowly exiting his shell and becoming more outrageous! ok maybe not there yet but getting there soon right! resident video man/camera man/art-related designer etc who is really good at what he does. occasionlly surprises everyone by doing un-yongfeng stuff like imitating chris' style of blogging which was super funny. haha yeah.


ugh i have ugly tan lines on my arms and my neck. must plan eoy chalet soon! i'm experiencing post-outing blues (which only comes after very memorable outings and events which i thoroughly enjoyed..like today!) and missing chorale people already. sigh soon we won't be able to have such fun anymore :( anyway i think i'm really blessed to have such wonderful friends, especially in chorale, and have most of my close friends stay with me since sec 1 <3
