(: met real sweet new friends. yay. nice trainers, naggy kala, not-too-good food. breakfast was good though. heard the band play frm outside the bandrm. agh! all the band peerleaders (emily gen nurul me cindy suiying dorothy jerina) all so sad.. wanted to go for band k. heard the band play castle in the sky.. didn't know that song first mah. so we were like ohmygoshhh that song is so nice!! yeah.

tues 0709
peerleadertraining again. this time in hall. two new members of the grp(: jocelyn and ashikin frm 2g3 i think. yeah. anyways. 2 very introvert (ha.) kidds from queensway pri came to our grp. spent the day learning and learning. went mobil with gen (and met iswarya there) during lunch. bought stuff to eat for the break at 4. guess it was a backache kind of day; sit in the hall for 7 hrs plus. but anyways. chuhui you are PREETTY! -guffaws.

peerleadertraining @ bukit timah hill. damn hike. gosh. i am totally NOT a potential leader like chuhui or ashikin or stephanie. those people-in-front. ha. me and xiangyi always lagging. baddd stamina. went through a lot of super steep steps and a whole load more of paths. jungle trekking is dangerous. ha. i crashed my foot into underlying rocks on the stupid steps a million times. almost fell twice. and was half dead after the whole thing. went to wrong checkpoint. some people gave wrong info. started to drizzle then the rain crashed down. went back helter-skelter in the rain. got super drenched (: could squeeze the rainwater out from my hair man. not to mention the idiotic packet of lunch. oil and gravy leaked all over the place and almost dirtied my Bible (did i mention i brought it everyday. the cover got wet cos of the rain.) but anyway. it was a good experience. 3-day course with a bunch of smiley people. yay. peerfect rocks!
