I'm super lazy to bring these pics below, so i just leave it on top, its all on day 3:)





























It all began with an early morning. Arif, sheikh, hannah and i walked to school with loads of stuffs. The food committee(if this is how its spelt, not community, sean!!) unpacked the stuffs and the logistics committee packed them properly. We set off the some jetty which i've never seen before(singapore have alot of jetties huh). While loading the stuffs to the ferry, i fell and cut myself. Its a stupid fall, because i was being such a kaypoh!(i'm still feeling wobbly now, wobble wobble) We drop off at KUSU island before proceeding the st.john's island. Its KUSU not KUKU. With only 15 mins to walk around, everything was in a hurry. Yeah, reached st john's island and the toughest part arrived. Loading those stuffs UP the hill, its even more tiring than running 5 times of 2.4km. Arif, Zawani, Hannah, Sheikh, Sean, Shuhui, Fatin and Siti and i treated the kitchen as our "second home". We cooked there everyday, most of the times, eat there, and clean it. These 3 days really made me work alot. I've never, NEVER done so much of cleaning and cooking stuffs in my whole life, in fact, i don't really like it because its very dirty. The first lunch was packed food so we cooked only dinner. We're happy that although some people might not like what we cooked, some others came to give us words of encouragement and people like darwin,nuqman,kokkiong and leonard came to help us alot. It would have been even tougher without them. :) The few of us seem to contract with some cleaniness disease or something, we wouldn't want to stop cleaning because we find the place dirty still. I've never done so much at home too. I hate cleaning! Its really dirty, hence, i was constipated. Now i understand how my mom feels. After the first night, my body ached like hell, the rest of the ladies and boys as well. The few of us started to breakdown, because of tiredness or many other reasons as well. Still, its really heartening that the other SLs appreciated our food as our efforts, i really love them all!
Breakfast was by the sec 4 SLs, they were nice enough to wake up early to prepare breakfast and took over our duty. We prepared lunch and dinner. Dinner was the toughest because there were no teachers helping at all at the beginning. We managed to do it, with the help of other SLs as well, chien yee and priscilla and others. When we saw that the hashbrown cannot stay in shape, hannah changed it to mashed ones and i fried it to become crispy. (pretty nice, HEH) After that dinner, i can hardly move. It was meant to be a party, so we had to prepare more. Jianyang left us because he got hurt badly. If i were him, i would really cry. I wouldn't want to describe what happened to him, all i could say is that it made us ALL got worried for him. Cleaning comes next, then we took a night walk down to the beach. Bathed for the second time because we got wet after going to the beach in the afternoon. I said a million times, "i don' want my underwear to be wet!" But it still turn out the opposite although i didn't really play with the water. Why? Whenever Arif splash water at someone else, i would be the one that got splashed instead because i didn't run!! How dumb was i. The bed might not be as comfy as home ones, but when you're really tired, once you lie down, you will knock off like almost immediately. We woke up late but when we want to start to cook the eggs, arif realised that there was not more gas, so..no cooking for us anymore. After everything , we cleaned the kitchen with the help of Zhelun and Mr Neo. Hmmm, spent some time at the beach then we left. Took some eggs home. Okay, not some (30 eggs, heh) But quite some cracked so we threw them away. Fernanders would be paranoid whenever there is thunder and lightning now. He almost got striked! Had food, walked around, fernanders got his new specs(VERY CHARMING, like always). Got home, applied the skills that i've learnt and help my mom to clean MY clothes and all. Slept and then here i am!
After everything, i've learnt that singapore lizards looks more beautiful than those in st john's island. Singapore flies don't bite as much as those in st john's island. Singapore ocean is kanasai, its super polluted compared to st john's island. And lastly, Leonard makes a good husband! And Fernanders too. LOL
