UNIONE part 1

I am so sorry for not updating for such a long long time...cz my computer has been really crazy...i even had to send it for repair><>< ='( but i sort of learnt one thing, i must really not let my nerves get the better of me or else i will really lose focus on what i am suppose to do><>

after the briefing about what the camp was about, i think the line that left the strongest impression was "i think you all know that this is no ordinary camp, this is a council TRAINING camp" then they were saying they expect us to exhibit strong discipline and a sense of urgency...

then we carried out stuffs and ran to the atrium, we were given 20 mins to clean our sleeping quarters with the cloth and detergent we had brought. I started to panic a little cz the detergent i brought was for clothes...not for washing, but we still started wiping like some mad person up down up down, then the seniors kept saying"make sure you get every corner, the drawers, the sockets, the whiteboard, EVERYTHING" we were really running up and down the classroom, i remembered alicia, grace and I were like...alicia will use her soaped wet cloth to clean the latch top, then i will use my wet cloth and wipe over, then grace will use her dry cloth to wipe it again... we seemed like some car wash personnel ><

after 18mins, we started to rush out to assemble back at the atrium, i was really afraid that it might not be cleam enough or smt, but the facilitators decided not to check as it was our responisibility to keep it clean as we were going to sleep there... that is actually quite true, if the room was dirty, we would have to suffer as it would be us who is going to inhale all the dust... but the classroom was sparkling clean, it was like 10 times cleaner than what it was before.... ...
the next activity was trustwalk. We were suppose to support each other by leaning towards each other on a bench and had to walk on a series of benches, tables without falling and with a balloon in their mouth. at the end of the trail they had to burst the balloon and execute the punishment stated inside.... at first i thought it was quite an easy task but then the seniors started dropping and falling, in the end the facs had to changed the rules a little so that we could completed the task... we only managed to get one pair across, and that is hernhern and bianca...they are really amazing, i tried and i know how hard it is...i guess they really trusted each other...and also i think they knew the technique...everybody had a try but even after asking for time extension, shortening the route, changing the rules, we only managed to get one pair across...that was really sad... but i think that the sadder thing was that hernhern and bianca had to do crouches alone without any support from use cz we were too pre-occupied with the new pair that was walking that we sort of forgotten about them...i am guilty too...i didnt even know that they were doing the punishment...i only found out at the debrief...so it is kinda sad...


after that was lunch's on Us! Part I... that is all for today..i shall upload more tmr...

ok...you know what....i give up trying to replenish my past posts.....so its like going to be forgotten...like how most memories become....haiz...

Europe Trip! <333333333333

let me revive my blog...cz its like SO DEAD...

I shall start off with my europe trip...i was away for 11 days=)

Day 1

OK....my flight was like 0030 at Changi Airport to Dubai for transit (FOUR HOURS) then to Milan, Italy via Rome....so i actually landed in Rome before taking off again to Milan...so i have been in Rome for 1 hour....haha....

my flight was like delayed to 0100....haiz...just that the transit was shorter...i was taking emirates airlines...haha really really good...at least the food is still edible...my sis had the kid's meal and it was so nice! haha chocolate muffins...with dunno wad and dunno wad...and she has snacks too...like potato chips...milo...haha....ohh and there are GAMES AND MOVIES for you to CHOOSE!! i watched like...T.R.I.C.K 2....1/2 of dunno wad....oh and i watched ROMEO AND JULIET !!! haha ....i fell asleep while watching it....hahahahahahahahahahahaha......my sis didnt sleep at all...she had a move marathon....so when we reached Dubai...she was sooo tired...my mom and i were like HYPER....then because our transit was 4 hours, they had free breakfast for us. BUT the breakfast was rather...lets just say...different. in the end i ended up eating cereals(nothing can go wrong with cereals, cause you just pour and eat) and bananas...my mom ate like 4 bananas...haha...the airport in Dubai is actually very nice=) its bright, and clean, and the people there are nice too=) the toilets are clean too!! then the tour leader was like persuading us to get kit.kat cz he says that they manufacture the best kit.kat there...its a different recipe...but my mom didnt believe him...and we didnt have like any Dubai money or US dollar with us so...GOOD BYE kit.kat...after that we boarded the plane...and my sis fell asleep immediately...really immediately...then there was this air steward that came and asked her to wake up because it is dangerous to sleep during take off as you might die half way and nobody will know...she didnt even want to wake up then she just sat up straight...and said"stupid air stewardess" before falling back to sleep again...lucky that person was gone before she said that...the flight was OK...but i ended watching a lot and playing alot because the games are really really nice! you can like play with other passengers...tetris...some puzzle games...very nice.... after around 4 hours we landed in Rome for 1 hour...we didnt even get off the plane...then this crew came and like "cleaned" the airplane...its basically just picking up rubbish..they missed a few spots too :P then finally after another around 2 hours...we landed in Milan, Italy.

Day 2

We went a little sight-seeing in Milan,Italy...saw this VERY NICE CATHEDRAL:Duomo cathedral, ...its really nice...its made out of a special type of marble and it took 40 years (i think) to build...sadly...the marble absorbs pollution...so its like kinda dirty now...that is SO SAD...its really nice!! actually its VERY nice...then we also went to this castle:Victor Emmanuelle ll ..did you know that in Milan, it was actually very well protected...really like those kind of games like "Age of Empires" like that...i mean they really had castle walls, moats, watch towers, gates, castles, flags, city plans and stuffs like that...it was SOOOO COOL!! now much of the building is destroyed by plants....bombs... and stuffs...so they are trying to preserve it for as long as they can...you can really imagine life in the olden days when there are horses...no electricity....and it is really very cool...

we also went to this really nice shopping place Galleria La Scala and it is really really really pretty...its smt like a corridor which branches out to 4 directions...then there are like paintings on the walls that are really very specially designed to signify different countries...then the signage are all black and silver...EVEN MACDONALDS had a SILVER "M" haha...i shall upload the pic later...hahas..oh yar...there are a lot of pickpockets there...i actually saw one in action...they almost targeted my mom...if you ever go there...TAKE CARE OF YOUR MONEY AND PASSPORTS!

we stayed in the RIPAMONTI DUE E CONGRESSI hotel...it was erm...rather small...but it was quite ok...cz i went with my mom and my sis...so we had a triple room. the 3rd bed was in this ulu corner which was like creepy so we joined the other 2 beds together to make ONE BIG BED...both my mom and I couldn't sleep so we like packed...we brought 3 bottles of 1.5L of water there because the water there is very expensive...just a 200ml PLAIN MINERAL WATER cost 2.5 euros....which is more than $5...so we saved a lot on water...BUT my dragging the 3 bottles there is NOT easy...it is really heavy plus with all our clothes and stuffs...

Day 3

We started our journey to Switzerland quite early in the morning...the breakfast in the hotel was surprisingly quite nice actually...i basically just had ham(their ham is VERY NICE with almonds) with scramble egg on toasted bread topped with honey....haha...quite nice actually...

the bus ride was ultra long...but the scenery was MAGNIFICENT! its really nice...how i wish i was living there....when we passed the border to Switzerland...there were MANY pretty and COLOURFUL flowers!! so nice...cz we were headed to Lugano, a small town...i LOVE THAT TOWN...there is the famous lake...that is really very very pretty.... then we wanted to bye ICE-CREAM! cz i was determined to try ice-cream frm each country I go to...then there was this ICE-CREAM SHOP! it was heavenly....there were like 30 over flavours of ice-cream just LOOKING AT ME...like caramel...dark chocolate with chocolate chips....raspberry with strawberry and blueberry....so YUMMY!!! then the price was quite ok.... BUT that lady didnt want to see to me cz it was a sunday and the shop was not to be opened till 1pm...AWWWWWW i was soooooooooooo sad.....i tried at 12.45 also cannot...cz we had to board the bus at 1pm....wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh my ice-cream T.T then in order to cheer myself up.... we decided to try some pastries....then we went into this bakery......

Singapore's bakery cannot even compete with the bakeries in Europe....in ONE shop...you can find a HUGE range of pastries available ranging from tarts to cakes to pies to...EVERYTHING! it was soooooooooo nice.....then there were so much variety....AMAZING! then we decided to try this strawberry tart thingie...cz it seems that everybody going there bought that....IT WAS DE-LI-CIOUS!!! the tart is not those kind made up of butter but it was like there were serveral layers of soft biscuits...SO NICE!! in the end we decided to try the raspberry one....but it didnt taste that nice...(raspberry taste like antibiotics to me) Haha...then we went window shopping cz it was a sunday and unlike singapore...sunday literally means rest day...NONE of the shops were open....except those restaurants....all the others were CLOSE....then i saw this ABSOLUTELY 100% cute doggie soft toy frm a shop named "CLAIRE" (claire i didnt know you own a shop in europe...wow...can u give me that doggie for free?) then it was so cute.....i like almost fell in love with it instantly...BUT....the shop was not open....I WAS SOOOOOOO SAD!! T.T

After that we headed to Lucerne....we went to the Lion Monument and saw the Chapel Bridge...the view was as usual MAGNIFICENT...especially the Chapel Bridge(except for the hight number of spiders) then next to the Chapel bridge was like this very famous Watch shop...selling all those type of branded watch like Rolex...Omega...Longiness....and MANY MANY more...the most expensive that my sis and i could find was a Rolex watch costing 600,000...and there we saw this couple...buying rolex...they were trying on several designs to see which ones fits...and they REALLY BOUGHT IT...wow...rich people....

since we dun have much interest in watches...we decided to like go out and stay on the chapel bridge....see the swans....then we say this ice-cream shop...(remember i was determined to try the ice-cream?) i queued up and ordered tiramisu chocolate icy cream...it was DELICIOUS....the coffee taste is not too strong yet not too mild....it was really really nice...

after that we went back to the hotel (SCHILLER HOTEL)...haha...the hotel room has NO TOILET DOOR! hahahaha...cz it was a triple room and is at the highest floor of the hotel....so they couldnt find a door that could fit the ceiling shape....HAHAHAHA....then like you can really erm watch TV while bathing? But the room was ULTRA nice....the beds were comfy and soft and then the air-con was not too cold nor was it too hot...ULTRA nice...(except the no toilet-door part) haha......then i soaked my feet in the bath for 1 hour cz it kinda hurts....

Day 3...

Breakfast was ok...haha...honey with bread again...but the bread there is very nice..there is the soft kind and the hard kind...obviously i ate the soft kind cz the hard ones really can break your teeth....haha

then we started our journey to....MOUNT TITILIS (Swiss Alps) (which cost us 115SF...EACH) the journey was 2-3 hours with toilet breaks and snack breaks....but the scenery was like green and snowy even though its SUMMER...so nice....then i kinda fell asleep...then i was woken up before we entered the world's second longest tunnel...17km long...it took quite a long time to get through....

finally...we reached the swiss alps....YAY.....it was snow raining...haha coooooooollllllllllllldddddddddddd. Then my sister, along with some of the tour members started having like snowball fight! haha then we keep hitting each other with snow...then sneaking attack when the others are taking photographs...haha!! then it was really like freezing cold...then we tried builing a snowman...BUT...it is like too cold and we could only mould using our BARE hands...so we sort of dropped the idea...after that it started snowing...YES SNOWING!! yay...real snow snowing!! so freezing cold..especially the snowflakes like land on the back of your neck....lucky i have long hair.....then we had no choice but to go back inside because it is like too cold to play....awwww.....

there was this heater chair that is like very cool...heat is like coming out from the chair so its really quite comfortable=) we were getting a little hungry so we went down to eat. We decided to eat at this restaurant called "Mama Mia!" i ordered pasta while my sis ordered a kid's pizza...then the person refuse to believe that my sis was a kid! she was only like 11 years old then the waitress insisted that she was 15!!! the after that she finally allowed her to order the meal....HAHA!! the pasta was good!! its really like cheesy but not too cheesy and its creamy....really quite nice... then we saw this watch shop...then my mom was like trying desperately to get a watch for me.....cz i am in a desperate need for a watch=( then the shop was like selling watches that were Swiss swatches all over the place...its so cool! there were like all kinds of design! haha ultra coolness!

ooooo....then after that, we went down the mountain....then there was this "tower rotair" i think that is how its spelt...it was so cool! its like a rotating tower that goes up diagonally. totally coolness! then it was kinda dizzy and really really cold, because there were windows which were open. after that, we went down the cable car again and sat on the bus, again, then we went to interlaken, a small town village in Switzerland. i simply LOVE THE TOWN! it was like really a fantasy! the town is really small and there were smalll shops selling all sorts of stuffs. I just LOVE it there! i mean it is so peaceful, and the flowers are so beautiful! the people there are like really nice and everybody knew each other! it was simply heavenly, the shops are in neat rows and the supermarket there is like really cool as well! believe it or not you actually have to put the groceries in the plastic bags yourself! the chocolate there was like ultra ultra cheap and they are just simply delicious! there are many many different flavours. the dark chocolate there were like really scary with up to 99% cocoa...beat that....then the water there is really cheap as well! compared to up in the mountain, the price of the water in the mountain is like 5EUROS per bottle of 500ml BUT at the super market it was like erm 3.45Euro for 6??haha
