Lol emopix ftw.

So as I promised, Club Med Recount. (: Actually we only heard of and booked the trip around 3 weeks before the actual day, and I was thinking hey i'd rather stay and slack at home than stone around on an island for five days. But well it was club med, so hey I thought it would be great to get some sun and all. In fact before the day we left i was pretty much excited of whats gonna come. like kids club and all that (I actually thought i was still going to be in the kids club!). The last time i went to club med was when i was 7, and i was still in the mini-club and all. It was really fun, I remember. But duh i was not going to join the mini-club this year, come on.

Its been 8 years and yay, lets go club med again.

DAY 1.

picture gone (:

Was a real mistake to decide to eat breakfast at the ferry terminal itself. Like wth nasi lemak cost 4.50 and i wanted to eat chicken rice which cost 5.20 omg. Daylight robbery. Perhaps thats their way of leaving a great image of Singapore in the minds of tourists before they leave. Strangely got a little seasick on the ferry there, i never knew i was seasick till today. Maybe its cos the last time i was in a ferry i was like primary 2 and was so freaking short. We played my father's version of Daidi, some "banker" and "joker" thing. I WON DADDY TWICE out of 2345256778 times. :/

My father owns at all kinds of games. When we arrived you'll see that its not just card games its like just about everything. Every day he's stuck in the office doing paperwork and he's still as good in sports as ever.

When we stepped at the porch there was a line of people clapping at us and giving us ice lemon tea and napkins to dab our faces in a bid to make us feel welcome and DUH we felt like kings! So cool all that hospitality. Did i see loges there? Okay i didn't know who loges was.

We went to our rooms and MY SISTER WAS SO TACTLESS she wanted to sleep with mum while i sleep with dad since we didn't have conjoining rooms but i was like WTH whats your problem mum and dad want to holiday together for a reason right. At least my sis was sensible enough to know what i mean. Lol so my sis and I shared a messy room together and we went for lunch and were DAZZLEDDDD by the huge amounts of food we could choose from. I was expecting a tinier buffet but wtheck they had everything, you can't possibly starve when you see it. I was still kinda dazed so the first thing i ate was kambing briyani O.O but duh i started eating all the smoked salmon and pasta and all the stuff i won't be able to enjoy at home.

So the first thing we did was to play pool at the bagus bar, since it was slightly drizzly (why is bintan raining!) and as usual, my dad owned me. Used to earn money by hanging out around the pool table in the bar for breakfastlunchdinner and own anyone who wants to challenge him. And yeah he owned me, apart from a few lucky matches. But screw mann pool's really fun especially without my dad around, cos he's guaranteed to own my ass off.

After that we went archery. Archery was super cool kay there was one time i scored 18 points! (the total amount you can score is 45, but thats when you hit 3 bullseyes. HEY SO I FAILED BUT its not as easy as it seems.) But apart from that one time when i almost passed the benchmark the rest were all really wrong. We were trying to get our arrows on the board, we were happy enough if all of them did XD Oh one of my arrows got stuck on the wood that supported the target board, had a REAL hard time trying to prise it out.

Dinner was just as awesome as lunch, and then we went for this show. The show was supposed to be awesome and another display of hospitality but no it wasn't lol it was horrible. But well some people ahem gushed at the person acting as the GREEK GOD on the show. I shan't say who ahem ahem ahem. Lol after that we went for this really random dance thingey, was kinda fun and even my dad was following the dance steps homg. Was really crazy i liked it, strangely enough. Even though i couldn't follow a single one of those steps.

Sat down and vaguely listened to a singer on the stage who will sing everyday with no one watching her. Saw dawn in front of me but didn't know who dawn was and was like cool. There are people of my age here. where do they all go to.

DAY 2:

Was really lost on day 2, it was raining and we really didn't want to go pooling again. So was wandering around aimlessly (not that we couldn't play badminton, twas just that my sis was in aerobics and my dad was crazy enough not to bring shoes to bintan) So i was like hey, i heard that there's this thing called the junior club. 11-17 yrs are all invited. I'll go there, hang out for a while. most likely i won't really like it and it will be boring and all, and when that happens i'll join you all for lunch. They agreed and I looked for the junior club for around 30 mins, then realised that they were in the sports centre doing...sudoku.

Eugene (not in this picture) was a sudoku genius, he did both mine and someone else's sudoku questions. FOR ME IM LIKE, shit numbers im not doing this. Lol after the sudoku magic, we decided to play waterpolo and swim in the pool even while it was raining. Actually quite sensible, either way you're gonna get wet when you go out, so whats the diff. SO WE SWAM and had a good time splashing each other, and got to know each other from the splashing.

IVAN (second from left) is this really nice guy, kinda hyper. Saw him from the first day already, played billards with him on the afternoon the day before, along with his brother. He creeped my sis out a LITTLEBIT cos he was very very friendly. And hey thats a compliment. (: nice guy. SJI bowler.

CHARMAINE (third from left) is this person i actually met before in CAP 07. Didn't remember her at first, but then recognized her to be the one i was talking to on the way back from the CAP camp, on the mrt train with akanksha. Very paranoid when it comes to like, doing anything, but hey thats something good. Great impression of her from the start already so we were good friends throughout. RV debater, oldest amongst us, sec 4.

ISAAC (fourth from left) is ivan's brother. Gotta admit he's gonna be very attractive to the girls, but strangely no one talked about it. Very quiet especially compared to his bro. But we're very good friends. :D MS bowler, just 18 days younger than me.

SEAN (fifth from left) is my good friend too. Hahaha he's the tallest amongst us all and very good humored. During lunch and in between activities Isaac Sean and I will talk about random rubbish and play lotsa stupid games. WW basketballer.

LOGES (centre -.- SHE'S ALWAYS AT THE CENTRE. EITHER THE CENTRE OF THE PICTURE OR THE CENTRE OF ATTRACTION. lol camwhore.) is our very very lovely GO. i have no idea what Gee-oh means but i guess it means she's the gal in charge of the junior club. She's super extroverted and can relate to all of us. Perhaps she's specially trained in teen relations. Wait she's a teen herself.

DAWN (fourth from right, hiding behind the third girl) is a REALLY VIOLENT PERSON. But honestly heh she's real nice too. Fun to talk to as well, just a teeny bit of obsession with pikachus handphone games and cookiemonsters. BN moderndancer.

CHARLOTTE (third from left) is charmaine's sister. I HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS CHARMAINE'S SISTER TILL THE FOURTH DAY. Very quiet, kinda weird, but nvm she's nice all the same! Didn't really talk to her much though. I don't even know what school and cca she's from!

SULIN (second from left) is a screamer. Super hyper, screams at snail shells, cockroaches and just about anything. Has a passion for colouring sand, loves hanging out at bars, and starts jumping when she doesn't like / likes something very much, aka just about all the time. XD sc somethinger.

CHRISTINA (first from left) is some really laid back logician. though her logic doesn't always make sense. Christina and sulin used to hang out a lot on the first day, probably cos they made friends on the ferry. And they're an awesome pair lah.

Sean: Are you guys sisters?
Sulin: WTH WTH he thinks we're sisters! (High, jumps around)
Christina: (sherlock holmes) Come on sean, both of us are of the same age, how can we be sisters?

Uh, no shit aristotle. that...doesn't exactly give me a conclusion. But she's some awesome yog judoka. Gonna be sec 2 and she's already gone so far, will be freaking good when she's in upper sec mann.

So i ended up spending lunch with them cos jnr club was just too fun - like i did everything i wanted to do in the morning, while my sis was stoning in the gym. After lunch we had to use our swimming shorts again, as the sky was about to clear up and the waves on the beach were just a LITTLE bit too rough for comfort. Apparently the beach guy thought the tides weren't right, but to us it didn't look dangerous. So the beach guy invited any one of us to be the first to try out so i was like why not?

Ivan and I took our oars and began kayaking, but we weren't synchronized yet so we just kept falling back onto the beach. I swear getting off the shore is the hardest part cos the waves have the most impact. So we decided to just CHIONG out to sea and stay there and wait for the rest to follow. And we did it! Lol it was real cool being the only ones at sea. No one dared to venture forth except us, and the sea was actually relatively calm. Not as choppy as the days to follow. In fact the further out you venture, the less wavey(?!) the sea is. And when you look at the shore from very very far out into the sea, you'll wish you brought a camera along cos it is GORGEOUS i tell you. picture perfect.

then we got tired of waiting and we realised that THOSE BUGGERS WERE FREAKING PLAYING BEACH VOLLEYBALL WHILE WE WERE RISKING OUR FREAKING LIVES FOR THEM. So we decided to take a risk and head back to shore...

And here's a picture of us screaming before we capsized back onto the beach, just before the jnr club members were about to start kayaking.

Well, we got medals for being heroes (:

After we finished kayaking, we just put our oars away and like rode the waves back and forth, back and forth. The waves were super imba big, first they pull you towards them then they rush to you like a creepy idiot and swallow you and yeah. So we tried all ways to have fun with it, we were either like trying to stand against the waves, or jumping when the waves come, or letting the waves propell you towards the sand, or just relaxing while the waves just press against your body. Like wow really refreshing. I miss the taste of salt in my mouth awwww.

So after that we went to the usual, billarding, watching shows, dancing, before going to sleep. All as usual. :D

The show was horrible again, if you wanted to know.

OKAY THIS IS AN HOUR OF POST SO THATS IT FOR NOW, HOPE YOU HAVE FREAKING ENJOYED IT.

day 3, 4 and 5 soon. :D

I WISH I WAS BACK IN CLUB MED, SIPPING LEMON TEA AT THE PORCH OF BINTAN ISLAND RESORT.

hahaha im back! for a while.

just to revive my dead blog, but only with a quick note! Today we went for the literature symposium thingum that i was actually interested in. Then I got owned cos i was the only ri guy there. Stuck with the people i know and did quite a bit of random stuff when i became sick and tired of listening. Then decided not to be a lamppost and took the bus with eewei and lihong instead of the mrt with nic and matt, thus ending up late for a lit lit production with sparse attendance.

Today's day didn't sound good, especially the time when certain people asked me what i was gonna do next year. I was like okay but after a while it came to a point when i thought about it so much that my mind was just like freak, im never going to think about this choice thing over again.

That proud skill of juggling had cost me a downfall i will remember forever. Whatever the case i know this choice will be about to happen, as i do not want the same thing to happen again. But now im sick and tired of making decisions so just freaking give me a break.
