Bintan! Sunny island~

Bintan was fuN! although we had to cut short it to one day in the end, which was kinda depressing.. we took loads of pics! reached there at about ten to eleven in the morning, but ended up napping til two because it rained in the afternoon..our room was right beside the beach and the pool, and was really quite cosy, even after the extra bed was shifted in..

Went around to Mana mana, the seasports hut down the beach, which has changed management from the last time we went, so we were left with only a few sports to choose from--bananaboat, body surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing, jetskiing, and sailing or so..damn sad! and the bananaboat and kayaks were all taken up by all the rafflesians who were there having some camp or smth. damn rich lah! go there have leadership camp..they had a catered buffet on the beach for their campfire at night toO! which was how cool la! i wanna have a camp like that too.. haha

anyway, so, we decided to go check out the ATVs..Action Terrain vehicles..it was a hell lot of fun!! basically we got a drive round the place for about half hr in big macho Wheels, and cos it just rained, there were so many puddles to splash in! haha THIS IS WHAT I CALL SPLASHING! the hot wheels just vrOOmed and SPlashed and sizzled w steam..super shiok! too bad nv take photo..came back dotted in mud and some mosquito bites..we passed some really superb views at the beach too! the guy brought us to a really Awesome view of the sea, near some round rocks..the last time went w ma and dad..wished we had snapped them down..

Went to book a buggy to drive round e island too..for one hour, we got the whole buggy to ourselves! and the funny thing was ours happened to be low on batt, and we ended up pushing the buggER up and down the hills for the second quarter of our hour..haha was damn funny lah! even the RJians trekking around walked faster than our buggy can!! it was so slow the whole group actually caught up w us from miles away, AND THEN OVERTOOK US! ahha we were laughing all the way and being mosquito fodder..heng got 3 of us.. then we went back to complain to claim back e time..haha! and got a much faster buggy..

Went down to the kelong for dinner that night, after basking abit in the sea and pool, soaking in the moonlight and clear water..really, if only Singapore had beaches like that! anyhoo, the food was yummy! got the set menu, w crab and prawns and fried babysotong~ mm! and then this two germans came by and took pictures with us! haha okay damn friendly..

hm well the day ended with a really bone-loosening massage in our room! my masseuse came late, but started off quite well..really creaked all my bones right..but then she exerted too much strength the rest of e way despite some weak protests from me..walu this is the first time i got blueblacks on my back from massage! xP haha okay but it was not bad..

too bad the entire trip was so short, but it was fun! pics below! :)

dear Diary,
things have been going rough for me, and stuffs been coming that make me cry. but i'm gonna pull through this. i will! this too will pass, right? i hope i made e right decisions, and that i will hold strong to my faiths. fwoc will be coming up, and i hope that takes things off my mind..i'm so glad cousins Jiangshu n weixiang are coming in!! hope they really get into KR, or at least be able to them more around campus..can't wait for my batch of guys to come in!! at least there'd be those i'm close with in all this shit too..haha! nolar, more like the comfort of knowing they're close by..
well, stuffs not ALL been bad..there was the seasports camp, which rocked my socks! really learnt what i wanted to learn, got to try out the different sports--at least 3 which i totally felt the thrill of, namely, windsurfing, wakeboarding and sailing! it was the ultimate coolness seriously..super happy! more things to tick off my list of things-i-must-do-in-my-life..hahaha it super kicked in the adrenaline and i wanna do them again!! i simply must, sometime.

And S41 met up! oh that was before SSC actually. hmm love my peeps to bits! took lotsa photos, and as usual, it was eat, chill, chat and stay over the time limit..haha quite heartwarming. the simple joy of catching up, basking in familiar, comfortable companionship really are one of the things i have come to cherish, and it truly is a blessing to have these peeps in my life!

Ma booked the tix to phantom too! was really touched by her gesture, esp when it was during e exams..anw, the show was awesome!! loved the songs and effects, and it was gd family time too! haven't done this in ages man, like, gg out as a whole sixsome and all..felt really gd! anyhoo, my favourite bits were the rowing through the underground lake, where the smoky dryice effect made the river really look real! like, you could see the "water" part when the phantom rowed through..superB! and my fav scene was where christine visited her father's grave too..i like the songs there best.. realise i have all the scores of PTO! with lyrics and all..so happy..been practicing like mad, just for fun (:

Well, thats been so far what i've been doing the past two wks, besides the continuous addiction of HOtman I and II on crunchyroll.com and just basically being a couch potato..heh. oh yes! visited cafe del mar with debs n sy too on tues nite. free tix for that night, but anway its quite unimpressive--ended up basking on the "bed" on the beach, chatting..act i fell aslp for 20mins if i'm not wrong? haha cos i was really exhausted. anw seriously. it was either the WRONG night or the beach cum clubbing concept just doesn't work out..cos the beds were damp and sandy, and the light of the dj didnt'really reach us, and there were like, nada people dancing at all! save the mat/minah couple grinding each other near the pool. so depressing! thank god i had gd company.. ok i'm gonna give it a chance since it was tuesday nite, and we went at 9pm..haha!

anyway, fwoc starts soon! like tml. hope my weekends don't get so burnt! or else i'll become lazy again and like type SUPER long entries like this only like every fortnight. To the Big man upstairs, I pray with all my heart and soul things turn out right! Or may i thank you in advance for your foresight, to let me go through this thicket of pain right now so i can embrace paradise beyond?? oh man i duno wad i'm saying anymore..
