a few bruises...that's all.

let's start with what happen on the farewell party, shall we? cause i realised i didn't write anything much about what we did at sentosa.

hmmm, i initially planned to meet some of the guys at 11.30am at harbour front mrt. and i figured that since she need to go school, i might as well send her to school, then take my own sweet time to head down to sentosa. i met her at her place, aorund 8am. she came along with her sister, who just needed to travel a stop down to her secondary school to practise choir. but i was quite taken aback as her sister didn't look like her one bit. i guess she had all the good genes, whereas her younger sister didn't get those nice ones. haha. yup, nothing much, send her to school, talked, and waited in school for her teacher to open up the room for her to start her assignment. that's it.

headed down to harbour front mrt, where i realised those people whom i thought were coming to meet me, was arriving at some later time. *shucks. : i wasted an hour doing nothing, looking at mac donald's big tv screen, playing the same stuff over and over again. until regina and weiling came. they needed to do the "memory book" thingy. girls.. always minute. eventually, i reached palawan beach at around 3 plus. by concidence, mr lee just arrived too, with a bag of balls. hehe, rugby ball, volleyball, soccer ball. and in a minute or so, some extra guys came too. TIME TO HAVE FUN! we totally thrashed the girls in captain's ball, even with mr lee's help. haha. we were just passing the ball around, confusing the girls, and the girls can't reach high enough to grab the ball. so yeah. until a point, when we were joined by more people, then the place was getting abit crowded. ugh.

luckily, got a volleyball court not in use at that time. yeah, just volleyed until 6 plus, before some crazy operation. we threw huiting(her birthday coming) into the water right when she was happily playing volleyball too. haha. we(around 8 guys) just went straight to her, grabbed her by the arms and legs and walked down to the water. even her own girls just laughed along, despite their futile attempts to ask us to stop. but the year ones are more evil. after we threw huiting into the water, the year 1s came rushing down and pushing all of us into the water. i almost lost my rudys! we took revenge and they paid a heavy price.... hahahaha. yeah. followed by some rugby playing.. nothing much.. had the passing down ritual thingy.

now on to what happen this weekend.

i went to Ipoh for a whitewater rafting adventure with some dive buddies. except that now, we weren't diving. we were on a rubber boat, rafting through rapids! the trip there was horrible, almost a 8 hour ride from singapore on coach. fortunately, the coach wasn't too bad otherwise i might have hated the trip. so, the rafting adventure was fun. rapids after rapids, and i fell twice into the water after the boat crashed into a big piecce of rock in the river. HEY! its normal to fall into the water okays. everyone else did along the 2 hour journey. and at some parts, we did bofy rafting, meaning just let yourself follow the current down while floating in the river, passing a few rapids. that was fun, but i knocked into a number of rocks on the way. ended up with a bruise on my elbow. hahaha. luckily not on my butt!

uh, after the rafting part, still on saturday, we went caving at some famous limestone and marble cave in Ipoh. initally, was quite boring, as it was just climbing stairs and looking at how some of the natural structures were formed, and the guide trying to tell us how it looked like some animals, or figures we see normally. but the second part was more fun. at some point, we walked off the main staircase and went into another smaller cave. all the light we had was coming from our torches. the first part was sliding down this steep slope. we gotta do it kind of slowly, otherwise risk twisting our ankles or breaking our legs. kinda funny how everyone did it, some slided down fast, some took their time, and i guess i was average, not very fast. later, we had to trek in WATER! yes, trek in knee deep water. a damn cool experience, like some movie scene where the people had to find their way out of this horrible caves, or like POSEIDON, rushing against time to escape from a sinking ship. haha. at some parts, the ceiling of the cave was so low that we had to almost crawl in the water(almost had to go underwater) to make it through to the other side. i hit my head twice because of the low ceiling. it hurts *ouch

that probably sums up my adventure in Ipoh over the weekend! haha. now its back to my studies.

oh yeah! friday was fun. you know why. haha.

don't tell you leh. hahaha. =)
