attended a HOT WHEELS event organized by ACTSCALIBRE. it's held at pasir ris park; whereby there are 2 parts to the event. 1st part is cycling relay; whereby we had to cycle 1 big round around half the park, using single and double bike respectively. initially, we were at 2nd place, till our single and double bikes both broke down, resulting in us coming in LAST. however, it was still FUN and teamwork is ever-existent in our SIM team, SOUTH AFRICA!!! in the 2nd part of the event, it's called MASTERMIND; whereby we had to guess the sequence of the color combination. liping contributed significantly to the success of coming in 2nd for MASTERMIND, not forgetting the people who contributed physically to the event; namely ah cong, michelle and ME! haha! because of this event, we rose from 6th position to 5th position (just fyi, there are 12 countries altogether.) i'm so looking forward to ACTSCALIBRE camp, happening from 27th-29th june, which is a good close to my holidays as my school is starting on 30th june. =))) GO SOUTH AFRICA!~!
after service, went to Cheryl's place for a mini catch-up cum gathering session over steamboat and apple streudel. it was nice seeing her again, and most importantly, i can see that she's very very much in love with han wei, which to me, as her daddy, i'm really really very happy that she had found someone whom she loves so dearly. all the best between you and him k? =)))

went down camp office for pre-camp brief (pcb) for kok choy's very 1st camp, guangyang secondary 2 leadership and adventure camp! it was really nice seeing an old friend in HA becoming a CIC, remembering the times when he was an EFI and i was an instructor... anyway, the pcb was short and sweet, as all the instructors had done jbac camps before. to kokster: don't be too stressed over your camp, me and the rest of the instructors will go all OUT to make sure your 1st camp is a ROARING SUCCESS!!! =)
after pcb, me, ahmad, natalie, yuanshan, adha, jestyn, kailee, maiosia went down to Liang Seah St for a good steamboat dinner. among all of us, i think adha enjoyed the food the most, eating and not talking for most of the time when we were there. haha! to sum it up, steamboat dinner was satisfying and GOOD! after dinner, i managed to psycho yuanshan to sponsor me the scooping game; whereby yuanshan contributed $30, ahmad $40, jestyn $20, myself $10->altogether, $100 worth of tokens, imagine that!!! the jackpot prize that we were aiming for is the pair of hippo, which is super duper cute! i started playing, while the rest cheered on. i spent almost $20, then ahmad and jestyn started playing the same game beside us. at the $50+ dollar, the roulette hit JACKPOT and everybody screamed man! haha! as there were 4 girls (maiosia, kailee, natalie,yuanshan), we decided to play the scooping game again, so as to get 2 pairs of hippo for them. i continued from where ahmad and jestyn stopped. in the end, after spending about another $40+ dollars, we got another JACKPOT and won another pair of hippo. we weighed the total amount of candies gotten, it was 1.7kg; whereby i managed to psycho the staff there to allow us to exchange for 2 Last Night Before Christmas soft toys; whereby supposedly, we need 2kg to exchange. me and jestyn each got 1 of the toys; thus, leaving ahmad with NO toys. on hand, we were left with 10 tokens. i tried 2 tokens at the big mickey mouse, but failed. i tried another 4 tokens at small mickey mouse, but failed. thus, with the last 4 tokens remaining, i decided to try and catch the mini hedgehog. once the 1st 2 out of the 4 tokens remaining was inserted, i told ahmad that if the last 2 tokens were not able to catch a toy, do not cry. haha! i failed on the 1st attempt; whereby i decided to try my luck with the LAST 2 tokens. while all of us are waiting for the countdown, ahmad asked me what does FATE means in the roulette wheel behind, then i told him it means that once the arrow stops at FATE, the grip on the pincers will be extremely tight, and is so-called sure get de. then as the countdown hits 0, the arrow on the roulette stopped at FATE, and we won the toy!!! it's simply unbelieveable man!!! all of us were screaming and shouting! haha! in the end, all of us each got a toy, and everyone went home with a smile of their faces. after all of us reached home, i drove to amk hub to pick up yuanshan, ahmad and adha, as they coming over to my place to stayover as we need to report to Compassvale Sec at 7am for a day event. by the time all of us reached my home, it was already 2.15am. i suggested going to watch the EURO 2008 Quarter-Final match, Spain vs Italy at the nearby 24hr coffeeshop. the rest ok-ed and we walked to the coffeeshop. it was a pretty boring match, with a little bit of excitement here and there. in the end, after 90min of match time, 30min of extra time, Spain won Italy in penalties. it was nice watching soccer again, after so many years... after the match, we went back to my place and caught about 30min of rest, then we made our way to Compassvale Sec le...

it was pretty good day event for Compassvale Sec 4/5. it was my 1st time taking sec 4/5 students; whereby my group 11 is all made up of sec 5 campers, all coming from Sec 5B. there were 2 main actitivities for the day: Multi-Level Captain's Ball(MLC) and Casualty Challenge(CS). i felt that my campers enjoyed the MLC more than CS, myself included. with the existence of Mark in my group, who is from cross-country and very fit and agile, we came in 1st for MLC! despite having 3 defenders guarding against our captain catching the balls, we still came in 1st! Well done POTATO!!! =))) after MLC, i suddenly had a very sharp stomach cramp, which caused me to cannot even stand up. i prayed hard to God to take away the pain as i need to conduct CS, and miraculously, i felt no pain and managed to finish conducting CS. overall, it was still a pretty good event. =)
to Compassvale Sec 5B Group 11: although it may be a short 1 day event, please remember the importance of teamwork in whatever you all do. cherish the friendships you all share with one another in the class, especially this is the last year together in school already. all the best in your upcoming O levels, and trust me, you reap what you sow. Jiayou! you all can do it de! i have absolute faith and confidence in you all! =)))

dear lord, please bless every single one in compassvale sec 5b group 11 to have the wisdom and knowledge to get through their O levels, giving them strength during their mugging times, not forgetting to bless them with good health to take their exams in their best ever conditions. may you also bless them to pass their O levels with flying colors and get into their dream institutions. in Jesus's most precious name i pray, amen. =)
