So we went to the airport, and Cheryl and I ate Soup Spoon for lunch! (: Learnt how to play poker from Cheryl, Htoo, Jaryl, Andre, John. And I think we were supposed to meet at the departure at a certain time and we were *almost* late hehe.
Camwhored alot on the plane ride there, and played scissors-paper-stone up and down the aisles. Something like what Toadiepokk and I used to do on the staircases hehe! And Mariel has a whole repertoire of blonde moments: “SHIT I DIDN’T BRING MY PENCIL CASE!” Lol.
At the lodge, the CDH room was bigger cos it was a triple-sharing room~ The guys had a quintuplet-sharing room. Except it wasn’t a room. IT WAS A HOUSE. With a freaking kitchen counter, oven, and balcony D: Jealous ttm. But we eventually found out they really needed that much space, because by the last day it was like literally mountains of clothes (both clean and otherwise) piled up on the floor near the bed! So in a twin-sharing room I doubt there’d have been walking space.
Took a drive around the place, we were like taking photos of everything and everytime a frigatebird flew past in the sky overhead we’d all be craning to take photos! Cheryl and I were scooting from one side of the bus to the other trying to take photos of everything ehehe. We also stopped by some random place to look at Dragon’s Cove, which was this cave-ish thing that if you peered right down you could see the sea 0: Looked pretty scary, but Andre and John sorta found rope and climbed down quite low 0:
Nighttime, we played at the playground (at the nearby HDB) on some see-saw like thing which was super fun! Except some evil person jumped off the other end so I kinda crashed to the ground zz. Oh yea, and Cheryl and I sat on the staircase eating Smith’s crisps, and I ripped my jeans a little, except it’s not that obvious and looks like part of the design 
Had dinner at Season’s Palace! The lemon chicken and tofu is very nice Mariel is a fellow broccoli-lover~ And we couldn’t really finish the food so we played I Have Never hehe. And we asked Ms Lim about her upper-ear piercing and stuff hehe.
Outdoor cinema, Transformers 2. During the tour of CI earlier in the day we saw these chalkboard thingys which are used to like, make announcements and stuff. Then the moment we saw that Transformers 2 was showing Bel and I were like “Chongwei’s gonna be jealous!” hahaha. The first 10 minutes of the movie was played upside down though /: They show movies weekly on Sat nights. Last night was Night at the Museum 2 – all the more reason we should have missed the flight!

Woke up at 7am, by then Cherr & Hanie had disappeared (apparently they woke up at 4am for Hanisah to eat, then they were poker-ing in the guys’ room for 3 plus hours lol) so went to walk around with Bel and Bwi and take cool photos of bees, play with mimosas, and random jumpshots hehe. We wanted to climb a tree but then for some reason we thought there’d be YCA (yellow crazy ants) on it so we didn’t dare -_- In retrospect, I doubt there were.
Went back for breakfast, some clowns took the Nutella to the guys’ room so in the end three of us plus Mariel and Tricia cooked instant noodles for breakfast and ate out of the pot Hehe. Went to CIDHS (the school there), and had some lessons with Bernie – Aussie teacher. The whole comp lab is full of iMac desktops! Cool, much. We also played monkey with this huge stuffed dice toy we found Damn fun haha. Before that we did that pick-a-number on the dice game, and then threw the dice in the air. If it landed on your number, you had a forfeit 
Dumb right haha. We played super alot of dumb games there! But it was fun Went to play at the school playground also, took a few photos (:
After that was the plant nursery, quite boring /: Except that John was trying to pick up a red crab and we were taking shots of him doing that, and a crab crawled over Bel’s shoe o.O Then we went for a Territory Day park (TDP) walk. The itinerary read ‘Relax at TDP’ but “relax” meant walking through a forest with twenty million red crabs and stuff, and the worst part is that they don’t really contrast that much with the soil so I was like watching the ground half the time -_- And randomly waving my hands in front of my face because Muthu mentioned walking into spiderwebs so I was damn scared of that lurh. Although later we found out that wasn’t the worst forest /:
There was this lookout point where we were a few hundred metres above sea level, and the sea just stretches out on and on and on and it’s misty where it meets the horizon at the end. It was really super awesome, like you can just stand there and gaze out and daydream for hours on end~ I want a house with a view of endless sea when I grow up (:
Then it RAINED ): So we were crowding in little shelters waiting for it to stop so we could have the BBQ. Discussed making MVs with Cheryl Hanisah Mariel Tricia hehe But in the end BBQ relocated to Flying Fish Cove (FFC) cos the pits there were sheltered. So we went there and ate lots of yummy food! Bwi’s a good bbq chef. I had steak + potato salad + sausage + lettuce (yeshshs very pig). Then we sat by the seaside on the ledge for awhile to chit chat and stuff~
Yupyupps, then at night we crowded into the guys’ room to watch Last House on the Left. On Cheryl & Hanisah’s laptops. Except Bel and Bwi who were watching Message in a Bottle, but they said it was damn boring (a reason why I don’t watch romance movies). Htoo went down halfway to watch that too lol then he came back up -_- But the show was damn gory and pointless and gross. Like, they show the woman topless for literally no apparent reason, and stitching up the guys broken nose and then PULLING IT OFF later eww. And yea, I was at the back of the bed with Christine and we were both covering our faces quite abit so we didn’t know when the gross scenes were over -_- Thankfully we didn’t get caught haha only first night had spotcheck.

Forest activity. Impact Site was really bad /: My group had me, Cherr, Mariel, Ash. Freak, the forest was damn thick, like literally NO path to walk. And you have to keep looking at the ground to ensure you don’t crash into pandanus leaves /trip over rocks etc, and at the same time look straight ahead so you don’t walk into leaves or spiderwebs, AND at the same time swat mosquitoes. Damn stressful hahaha. So when we went to the Reference site, it was like TDP but after going through the Impact Site trauma we were damn relieved already X: And Bernie was our teacher-in-charge so we did abit of birdspotting! And, well, jumpshots in the middle of the road ehehe.
Went back to CIDHS for lunch, chicken rice. And played more! There were a few Aussie guys who kept doing the peace sign when they saw our group, they thought we were Jap or something I think o.O Also, we saw the CIDHS circus practising! Damn cool, I want that trampoline-seesaw also ahhh. And we played volleyball for awhile
Back at the lodge, we played Captain’s ball. 3 teams, ours was me, Cheryl, Christine, Andre, John and someoneiforgot. Whoops /: Ms Lim was super enthu hahaha, she’s like a teenage sometimes so it’s pretty funny. One of the later days she was even posing for a photo under her laundry Mmm, then we ended up playing dodgeball-by-gender. So like, all the girls would go into the center, that sort of thing. Except that even though there were only 5 guys, somehow they kept winning zz. And then I fell once, and Mariel was sucha kind, caring friend: “Ehh Danielle, I think you better go put some insecticide on your cut!” Then everyone gave her the o.O look lol!
Dinner at Lucky Ho’s, similar to Seasons Palace except the food wasn’t that nice /: Played more I Have Never to finish the food. And then at night back at the lodge, we had some debrief activity on the balcony. Before going in to play! Me, Cheryl, Christine, Jaryl, Htoo, Andre. Started off with games like poker, and taiti. Then it progressed to indian poker and heart attack (with Htoo singing the national anthem ROFLZ). And by the end of it we ended up catching cards and taking chop-chilli-chop videos. Schzuper fun(ny). There was one group that sat on the balcony doing the project /studying the whole time 0:

Morning bridge! Ehehe. With Cheryl Andre John. Talk about being addicted Seabird activity, so we got to go to the seaside to meet Nic Dunlop who showed us tropicbirds and stuff. SEA SPRAY!!! Waves crashing into rocks is really pretty. Got a sore neck staring up at trees looking for birds and nests though /: Then seaside lunch. When they said sandwiches, I expected small sandwiches. But we got like, HUGE BURGERS o.O Stuffed with lotsa salad. I took the roast beef one, but subsequently I ate the Cheese one instead cos it was easier to chew /: And I didn’t eat the salad part cos it was tomato hehe. There were cookies too! They’re Subway-size, but taste alot better And I drank two packets of lychee juice almost every meal, unless there wasn’t any more /:
Mariel and I went seashell picking! Then it became seaglass picking hehe. And Mr Soh is very good at skipping stones. Also took loadsa jumpshots. A coupla people got their shoes wet cos the waves came in really fast. But then in the end, even those that didn’t get their shoes wet (like yours truly) also went to play barefoot in the water Hahaha poor Ash fell just as the waves came in so he got soaked to the waist! Hanisah also I think It was damn fun, I love Lily Beach!!!
Back to CIDHS, peace-pose guy was there again. Took a photo with him Chicken rice for lunch again. Nighttime was BBQ at TDP this time, AND THERE WERE SO MANY STARS THAT NIGHT. So we lay on the pavement stargazing Until Mariel and I went robber-crab hunting, and started naming the crabs teehee.
Hawk owl time, we saw them! And they’re really cute, huge black eyes rimmed with yellow hehe. We saw yet another robber crab with huge coconut 0: The crab was bigger than the coconut summore!

Managed to wake up for breakfast Hehe. Nasi lemak! Watched a TV show in the dining room which was showcasing damn alot of ‘quirky’ fashion but they all looked disastrous LOL. Spring activity, Ash was nice enough to do the soil /mud ribbon test for our group cos none of us three girls wanted to get our nails dirty ehehe. Climbed up damn freaking high to get to the falls, but it was worth it We camwhored using Bel’s underwater cammie! It was super fun, the water was super cold hehe. And we could see rainbows in the water~ Mermaid on the rocks HAHA.
Sat in Bernie’s four-wheel drive with Ms Lim, Hanie and Tricia to go to the school Haha I think Bernie and Lisa are really very nice, they always let us hitch rides, and even make multiple trips to fetch everyone who’s walking along the slopes! And that day we were all drenched from the waterfall summore. Anyway, dried off quite fast cos the windows were down and the car was at 90km/h In Singapore, you can only go at 90km/h on highways, and by then you won’t wanna roll down the window cos the fumes would keeeel you /: Tried camwhoring, but my face was just a mass of hair -_-
CIDHS, curry for lunch! Bridged with the usual again, before going into the lab and using ebuddy hehe. Then shopping! Souvenir shop + supermarket. I wanted to get this sling bag but didn’t in the end. And Cheryl was damn funny she almost paid an extra dollar for a bag which we’d already gotten FREE when we arrived Got cool jellybeans for people
Went out, saw the beautiful sunset and spam-camwhored!!! Dinner at CIDHS, camwhored even more haha. Pumpkin soup (which I gave to Hanis), lasagna, strawberry mousse, and punch. DAMN NICE CAN OUR SCHOOL PLEASE HAVE HOME ECONS ALSO. Although I kept fishing out the mint leaves in my punch. And Mariel was obsessing over this waitress who looked like a barbiedoll

Mr Soh claimed it was a 15 minute walk from the bus dropoff to Greta Beach. So we walked for about twenty minutes, and surprise, still no beach o.O Lisa nicely fetched us all the way as far as four-wheel drives were allowed! The drive was 15 minutes already o.O Haha. So five of us had nothing to do, so me, Cherr, Mariel, Tricia camwhored while Hanis sat aside sanely Played pepsi cola too! Then everyone came (Bel, Bwi, Ms Lim and Fabia got lost they took the wrong route LOL) and we looked at YCA traps and vines before walking dunnohowlong to the beach! There was alot of trash /:
Picked trash for awhile, then I saw this huge fishnet but couldn’t yank it out so I called Christine over to help, and then we couldn’t yank it, so we called Mr Soh over to help, but we still couldn’t yank it out, so he called all the guys over to help, and then the rest of us useless ones went off to clear other stuff hehe. Bel, Bwi and I were clearing together at one point also, with Bwi holding on to a little hermit crab After most of the clearing, they were still working at the fishnet, and by then some smart people had built some contraptions with planks to get it out but Mr Soh finally said we had to let it go, cos it was too dee p): Sad, much. And I fell D: Thank heavens my back is okay, I was super scared I had hurt it X: Had lunch by the beach! Hanisah went ‘rockclimbing’ o.O Looked scary haha. The sea was really pretty~ Then got a ride back up the hill, and played heart attack, where the loser got sprayed with water from Andre/Jaryl’s bottle. So the aim of the game, essentially, was to try to LOSE
Margaret’s Knoll lookout to watch bats fly here & there, Cheryl got this tourist-like shot of Mariel ahaha. We saw Abbott’s booby also! Parent and its baby Hehe. And there was this scenery which looked like … paradise HEHE. I love CI scenery.
Went to Governor’s house for dinner, camwhored all along the windy stretch of road up! There was yummy choco cake for dessert And lamb and chicken satay! And uhr, curry chicken and veggies. Ate with the Bird Week people, and one of the women made a ppt for the whole group with lots of photos Including some of us hahaha Andre Bird! And Cheryl couldn’t even recognise herself lol “Who’s that holding your hand!” Took a supercool video of five of us cartwheeling around Awesomeness redefined, rightright! And we tried photospoiling, but ended up just joining in the shot Also, the laundry room is quite creepy /: Super funny, Mr Soh thought the dryer was the washing machine so we ended up with hot, dirty clothes LOL. Ended up washing it properly anyway later on

Snorkelling day! The night before, everyone was so excited for snorkelling. Bwi nicely lent me her SYNTHETIC anti-fog because I found spitting into the mask a little too gross for my liking. Anyway, snorkelling isn’t really fun, no idea why everyone was so hyped about it. For me, it was actually uhr, quite traumatic X: I banged both my knees at separate times on the corals while trying to clear water out of my snorkel, and my left knee has a sting mark -_- Which hurt for the rest of the snorkelling activity, but I was too afraid to think about it. Hehe it was supposed to be a pair-by-pair activity so I was with Cheryl, but she did alot of it on her own X: Because the moment she pointed at a coral and we were trying to determine what color it was, she had to let go of my hand to hold the chart and I simply drifted away with the current -_- I can swim, but I was too bloody scared to move because the corals were sosososo close!!! So my body was like paralysed and I just started screaming underwater with the stupid snorkel tube still in my motuh hahaha. Apparently Cheryl could hear me o.O She’s damn pro, didn’t even panic once 0: I was like, panicking super badly.
Anyway, finally finished the activity, so took a kayak out! Cheryl was paddling cos she’s in canoe polo and obviously I can’t hehe, and she was saying all the anywhere-you-want stuff hahaha! Rowed quite far out from the jetty and were laughing and enjoying the breeze and … capsized -_- Thank heavens Cheryl’s in CP, I’d probably just have resorted to screaming for help hahaha shibai right. Although when she was like “Okay first need to turn over the kayak” I was like “…Huh?” But thankfully Andre was snorkelling nearby, so he came to help whew X:
Decided to resort to uhr, safer activities like shell /seaglass -picking with Mariel, and then walked to the souvenir shop /supermarket with Bel, John, Htoo. Camwhored along the way! Damn fun haha, and Htoo and Bel took a ‘birthday’ photo! Except Htoo has green chalk all over one of his shirts now lol
BOAT TRIP!!! Fastwater Hehe, I seriously loved the experience it was damn fun I wanna go againnn!!! Even though we didn’t see dolphins! We saw some cave-ish places, and used some (insertnamehere)-oscope to see the fish in the water And the birds flying close to the water surface to try to catch fish! Haha, the experience was totally worth it, even though my hair was like chock-full of salt from sea spray. Took a photo at a spa centre for fun LOL. And walked to a smaller supermarket with Cheryl and Mariel, bought hazelnut icecream! They had pushpops and ringpops and lots of funky sweets there~
Fish and chips at night, the breaded fish batter was seriously, HEAVENLY. The chips were damn salty though, like you can see the salt all over. But damn nice Couldn’t finish the chips though, even though I ate more chips than usual o.O Then Fabia helpee me, Cheryl, Mariel and Tricia take jumpshots! I like the ‘outerspace’ one hehehehe. And we took some shots with cute angmoh kids
Oh yea, and Hanis and I camwhored abit in our backyard for fun, except the guys kept kicking the ball (loaned from CIDHS) down on purpose. But I got a cool shot of Hanis pointing at the ball in midair!
Last night at CI, we had unarguably the most fun whooo! After working on the ppt, Cheryl, Mariel and I were playing that card-reading matchmaking game that CDH used to play in Year 2 at the fitness corner This time though, it was like two of us would think of a guy for the third person, then that person must pull a card while thinking of that guy and see how ‘right’ that guy is based on the number /suit of that card LOL. Cannot elaborate more, we have sworn not to blog about it Because the results damn gross haha. Andre and Jaryl joined in later but only for like two rounds or so because very hard to think of girls for them, especially since Jaryl has Chuaaa
Htoo’s birthday surprise! The guys shooed him off to bed early Camwhored abit with Bel Then we decorated the cake to read “HB2″ (Happy Birthday Htoo) and it’s cool cos HB are his initials also! The fish&chips place guy was nice, gave us like ice-cream and fries and chicken for the party FOR FREE. Heated the food up, then the whole batch quietly trooped into their room in the dark hehe Although we didn’t get candles cos it was quite a spontaneous idea, so we kept all the lights off and used a TORCHLIGHT haha. Ate some of the food, then took a coupla group shots!
Then half the batch left, so the other half (CDH, Mariel, Tricia, Fabia, and the guys) stayed up to play Werewolf! Damn fun hehehe. We played until like close to 4am I think Intended to play the whole night but then the guys were quite sleepy so, yea. I think being little girl is very fun Actually being mod also is quite fun! Slept around 430am only, with iPod as usual. The aircon there whirs very loudly, so yea I couldn’t sleep without my iPod /:
sat12sep
Nearly overslept again, packed up a little more and then went to CIDHS for presentation. Ours was quite okay I think~ Their library is damn cool lurh (: Then back to lodge to pack up more, finish up our constant supply of biscuits in the fridge, and then bye bye lodge ):
Lisa brought like lots of platters of mini-sandwiches for us for lunch She’s so nice! Then we took photos with Lisa and Bernie, and wanted to play Werewolf again on this empty field but sadly had to go check in. THEY TOOK MY AFTER SUN LOTION AND MOISTURIZER ZZ. Forgot to put in luggage cos I was intending to spam more cream on the plane! Got quite pissed, but then played Werewolf with like almost the whole batch while waiting for the plane so got cheered up considerably~
Pity the plane was more crowded, so no running around and stuff /: Sat with Bel and Bwi, and ate the satay chicken and rice thing which was quite nice The cake was damn good!
Then the plane landed and we were back in hot, hot, Singapore /:
The End (: Word count for this post is like 3800 plus hahaha.
