SRGCE Vietnam Trip, Day 2
2 Dec 2008

after overnight on board, we arrived at Lao Cai at 6 plus. Went to Sapa.

For breakfast! @ Sapa
We had 6 choices to choose from on the breakfast menu.
Theres this cute puppy at Sapa's Inn near the fireplace.

We started the climb to Fansipan at about 10 am. The base camp is at 1800m.

Ok, we set off alrd!

Each climb lasts about 2-3 hours.

pics taken on first day in the mountains
climbing up...

this is how a typical toilet in the mountains look like. -_-

Reached our campsite at 2800m in the evening. Living conditions there were quite bad, for we lived in tents that were... pretty cramped. grrr. But dinner was good.

This is NOT our tent. this is the teachers' tent.

This is where we eat and sleep in.,

I think the temp fell below 0 degree celcius at night time? We were all suffering frm overcold despite being clad with dont know how many layers of thick jacket, even winter jackets? The wind was COLD, the speed travels like a hurricane. Our tent covers had loopholes, so my legs were exposed to the cold. There was some commotion in the middle of the night cos the guys' tent flew away. The girls tent almost gave way too. zz. The weather was freezing up there. Didn't sleep much.

You know how random I can be? Yoges asked to borrow one extra beanie from me before the trip, I agreed. Something happened in the freezing tent.

Me: Eh yoges yoges is that my beanie on your head? *pulls the beanie off her head*

Yoges: *scolds me and all the &%$@* comes out from her mouth.* stop pulling my beanie!

Then, the whole tent laughed. :P

everyone was freezing and cant wait to clad themselves with several layers like chinese dumpling, yet I pulled off her beanie exposing her to more cold. =X

All of us were very much homesick! We got out of our comfort zone. Yay. From putting up with hardship to tolerating certain things, we learned! :D

Despite lagging behind schedule for day 2, we still made it!

The porters were so dedicated in their jobs. They do everything, sometimes for us, despite tired. Its inspiring and made me think whether we really push ourselves to the limits.

The next morning, it wasn't that cold anymore.

Teamwork helps.

Title : I've been looking for someone to shed some light, not somebody just to get me through the night.

Today during CT period, our tutor taught us on character development. Its something like what we call PCCG lessons in secondary school.

Friendship.. What is friendship? Up to you to define.

2 groups of friends: Having a friend and being a friend. They are two different things.
Having a friend would mean,
Someone to sit with you during lectures and classes?
Someone you can be with during your CCA?
Someone you can eat with at the canteen?
Someone who lives near you and takes the same bus with you every morning, hence you having a regular bus partner?
Someone whom you can walk with together to the bus stop after school/CCA and then wait for your individual buses?
Someone whom you can spend the time with during certain breaks?
Or if you need to go somewhere to get a birthday present for another friend, the person may accompany you, probably at the expense of a lecture test which is held the next day?
To put it simply, having a friend means having a companion, who can accompany you to certain scenarios, places or programmes whenever you need it..

Being a friend is being someone who will be there for their friends regardless of almost anything. Like, if you don't see them present in school in the morning, you will drop an SMS to see whats up with them?
Or if they are absent from classes, you SMS the person to notify him/her on what is going on, what are the assignments to do and perhaps helping him keep his notes and maybe even bringing it to their doorstep?
If you're really a friend you'd rather your friend go home early to study for next day's test than to accompany you to buy a present for someone I suppose?
Being a friend also mean one who stick with someone loyally, through thick and thin, hell and heaven, laughter and tears, highs and blues... the friendship is mutual, can be felt deeply by the heart & highly treasured by both parties.

Perhaps at many points of your life you are guilty of 'having a friend' to accompany you for certain things. Its so-called 'making-use' or maybe that beings a 'fair-weathered' friend? But thats the nature of human beings. Can't really blame an individual. We can't help it being lonely right? Sometimes we just desparately need a soul to spend their moments with.. Its understandable. But, there are also many instances where you are really a true friend and the feeling is mutual. Of course, we should be able to differentiate who are in which category in our lives.

I rather have one true friend than to have many friends around me whom I don't feel that I can express myself freely to and having to weigh my thoughts and words when with them. The feeling of being surrounded by so many friends and looking like some clique when you ain't really close to them is just...

So what kind of friend you are to the different people in your life?

Think about it.....

I so like cute, funky & adorable things and surprises.
*ahem
*hint! haha

Do you always wish that you had the ability to turnback time to a certain time period (e.g dec 2008, PAE period, exam period)?

If yes, think about what you could do if you were given a second chance...

But sometimes in life, once in a lifetime, means theres no second chance...

The days of station games, amazing race, scavenger hunt, ice-breaker & games, house sessions, pfm... Orientation Finale ended off yesterday with a high note. The whole hall was filled with strong atmosphere. The P went high and enthusiastic too, he did Chicken Dance then everyone went into high spirits and got moving to the groove. What a blast. JC always has a good college spirit where everyone do college activities together as one, united. I haven't got the orientation pics though. All good things do come to an end. Now its time to get back to reality & down to work next week... No more freshmen title. Lecture books and tutorials are costing a bomb zzzz.

Title : 快乐的开始不该悲伤的结束

Introductory lectures are going on, I crashed history lecture like the majority who had no lectures to go. I think history is interesting.

The school switched me! :/ I realised the school put me into the Arts group when I found out why everyone in my OG is taking an arts course.

But, I felt perhaps its better off to put me with people who are in arts course for my weird combi. its better than being in an OG with people who take the 'hard sciences' course, making me feeling inferior & left out..

I'm relatively carefree now ...

PS: Pls pls give the subject combination we want!

Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong.

Title : new friends, old people, starting afresh

I'm hoping to find a nicer skin. IT does screw up sometimes!

day no 1 of school, freshmen come in.
finally i spotted a handful of people from my secondary school
approached them
some were quite shy
one of my secondary school friend transferred from poly to SRJC
she used to be in a life science course, now she wanna try for double sciences in JC
all the best to her in the qualifying tests :-D
we listened to talks in the hall, presentations on SR Global Classroom Experience of all the destinations
had college tour around the school
i met many people, have a feeling that history will repeat (somehow)

last night, i drifted off to sleep, my mind and heart being at rage
ended up,
i had a mild nightmare
Dreamt that I got into medical school
its kind of freaky because there were some scary parts
what the...

the prospect of friends quitting JC is just....
even for those people in year 2.
guess, it may be my fate that i end up being the only survivor in my sec 4E class who went through JC education
at the end of the day, we shall see, who are the sole survivors of SGS 4E4'07!
people are dropping out/considering dropping out
the second lap is the toughest
seems like i'm gonna be the only one left

tell me, other than JC & poly, where can I go?
the poly doesn't seem to want me
I dont have means to go overseas.


I keep on having dreams on anything related to JC, the people there &its things.
Its hard to depict dreams.
I never remember my dreams too.
Subconciously, there is something goin on...

Title : intricacies

Some things are hard to fathom, some are difficult to gauge. Our r/s went into the doldrums some time quite recently, perhaps there were too much disagreements and misunderstandings. Somehow, things weren't right some weeks ago, the bond became unstable & some hopes just wrecked. As days passed, I see the reverse side of whats going on. Though uncertain of what caused the sudden change in behaviours and attitudes (there were fluctuations), I know my conscience is pretty clear. When I say 'pretty clear', I mean, I do have flaws on how I handle things too. I know I'm in the wrong sometimes, maybe its my attitude like what most people said, but no one is perfect.

I know my (some) actions or words that comes out from me caused uncontentment which has resulted in quite a number of upset individuals to write it in their blogs. Come to think of it, sometimes it is based on how people choose to interpret things & how well they really understand us.

Perhaps some of the things I do that I think is right may be perceive as a 'offence'/'crime' towards you. But you must know that different people are different and every individual has different approaches to life. Its a bit disappointing that you choose to have a different mindset. Why should I think that I'm always in the wrong & should bear the blame. WHAT IN THIS WORLD HAVE I DONE WRONG? When did I go wrong? As long as I know my conscience, theres no valid reason I should be in the guilt for most things.

I've understood many parables since JC; Life is a journey. We gain some people along the way, we lose some too. Some people just had to end the journey earlier & leave us alone. Some things are just not worth to be pursued. Sometimes, I think I deserve better. But there's no point persisting.

However, there are some special people in my life which I will never ever forget, no matter what happpens between us & how we lose each other down the road, go missing & then eventually lose contact. Those people have impacted my life so greatly, how could I not remember them. ^^ I do not deny the fact that shit happens at junctures, but then we can still keep the good memories. I promise some people will always have a special spot in my heart.

I'm not a Saint, but I'm not on the other extreme too. Whatever I do, I've done my best and at the end of the day, it takes two hands to clap. If it doesn't work out, then too bad. Theres so much more to life & its just some people's loss if they choose to give up on certain relationships.

Title : dear class,

Met up with the 4E-15 gang. 9 of us were there in total. Feels like I've re-experienced the good ol' times after all the walking of long distance & gossiping about life. strolled from my secondary school to Serangoon Garden's area, near circus. Three of us hung around for very long n sitted near Coffeebean to talk. The meeting time was 5 PM but when everyone assembled it was like 7 plus PM, the sky has gotten dark. Ate at Sgn Garden's Cafe Cartel (non-Halal!) in the open-air ambience, which is sooo public. hahaha. They said some people became 'gemuk'. Haha.. Seems like those who turned up for the last gathering last Feb didn't turn up while those who didn't turn up for the Feb gathering turned up. My current schoolmate didn't turn up in the end, miss her personal presence!

The gathering was great. Seems like everyone didn't change much on the exterior, but on the inside, we've grown alot, emotionally, mentally & physically. We walked different paths for the past year & though we diverged after we grad. from secondary school, we made it a point to meet at least once a year. teacher will always initiate a gathering. We met many changes in circumstances and environment and experiences, how interesting theres so much variety in our different lives. Sometimes, some events are never to be left out.

One by one left after we're enough of all the chatting. 3 of us took teacher's car. she dropped us off somewhere btwn my ex-school & current school. It was about 10 PM then, we sent our dear friend off for her bus home, while the remaining me & her decided strolled into the 'suburb' of the area. We lepak around, sat in fast-food restaurant & caught up more. We took bus from MS. I reached home before midnight, luckily.

One good thing is I finally get to catch up with roomie. We lepak long enough already, last time we always do that in sec 4, at night. hahahaha. She decided to take the diploma route, after thinking that it wasn't worth pursuing pre-U course anymore. I NEVER discriminate anything in education, but its good that she got what shes interested at. Some people just possess a certain niche that people can see through. I guess, those who seem to have the inclination for something are really those who are inclined for that certain route. Hah. Dear roommate, we'll talk more, soon. I miss my twin!

2 of us talked about me from since the start of secondary school till now, which is many many years back. Just now during dinner, the group still remember the hearsay about me and ******* many many many years back, story dated 2004. Oh I see. No wonder bestie told me something linked to it before. What a freaking shock I got. Some things just can't be erased off, once an impression is cast, it may be embedded in people's mind forever.

She told me about what she felt when she founded out that we shared the same birthday, then, we were in the old SGS campus. Some of us had to gradually grow to like some people, & became better friends. At times, people do need some time to warm up to one another.

On education? I did admire those who studied Poly (even if it was for the sake of studying Poly) or even those who study on the alternative routes in education, i.e other than pre-U and tertiary. IF I could, I have always wanted to apply Temasek Polytechnic, but the education in this country is so cutthroat &%$#@. Wanting to go poly and whether having the ability to enter Poly or not is two different things.

Why do some choose to fake their posting status? I'm definately not the sort who will go around jeering or being sarcastic at people when they didn't get their top choice when it comes to school/course application, also neither expressing/indicating any bad meaning. Not like I will go around spreading faulty stuff about people. Can't lie around for people will know the facts someday okay. A little inaccuracy sometimes point out tons of explainations. But there are means to find out things. Don't lie unless you think people will never find out the truth. :) Not that i'm pint-pointing, but anyone prone for such matters will find this disturbing.

Found out some not-so-good stuff from twinnie. my my.
I know I'm preachy. But thats the way I am.
