It's over!!! It's finally over!!! The FRICKIN' GCE 'O' Level Examinations are finally OVER! Ahahahahah! Can't stop expressing my joy by exclaiming everything. Ok, there was a myriad of feelings when I stepped out of the examination hall at nine plus (we stayed behind to do our usual checking of answers) after the Biology paper, firstly it was a huge sense of relief, but it came with a tinge of anxiety, and followed by a sense of guilt. Heh, relieved that it's over, anxious about how well I have fared, and guilty because I was already thinking of having fun, and it seemed so wrong after we have been slogging away like cows for the past few weeks, close to a month.
Well, enough about the exams, heh, it's over and done with, now on to the outing! Immediately after the paper, I already had an outing to go to, and it was the gathering of the Secondary Four NCOs from the NPCC unit. I was frickin' excited to get into the holiday mood at last, so I got my clothes and headed with my friends to get the drinks for the BBQ which was being held at East Coast Park. Man, we bought 10 bottles of Pepsi and Coke(wasn't there an article about them being unhealthy?), but it sure was cheap!
We soon took the train to meet up with the rest, but soon realized we were at the wrong stop when Linsay messaged us that they were at a different station. So very reluctantly we got our feet to walk us along with the bottles to the correct spot where we were supposed to gather. When we got there, alot of our squadmates had already gathered and it was fun to see them all again after all the examinations.
We got to the BBQ pit after a long ride on the bus(and lots of walking). We were unable to start the fire because November and December has always been a "good" seasons for BBQs, don't you think? With all this raining going on, obviously a fire wouldn't start! So we had to take refuge at a shelter and while there, our rumbling stomachs could not wait any longer so we dug into the beehoon. Following that, we went to rent bikes and began to CYCLE! Man, did we cycle! We went from our pit all the way to the jetty where we took out first picture:
Heh, it's us with our bikes!
Anyway, after that, we continued cycling because we decided to find a nicer spot to take pictures from, away from all the ships behind us, and we soon saw this breakwater (ya, geography), and decided to take pictures whilst standing on it, heh. So these were the pictures:
First thought, "Ok...the sky is not exactly blue."
Jia Hui and me. (Ok, so we couldnt get rid of the ships after all, and we gave up anyway.)
Denise and Me, heh, I still think your natural hair colour is amazing! (Swimming in the morning really works??)
AHAHAHAHA! Smiling like idiots, but we couldn't help it really!
Linsay and Me!
Me and Chingwee, monkeying around as usual!
Well, that's basically most of what we took for the pictures there, the girls took their own pictures by themselves just as we the guys did, heh, but we forgot to do a group photo! What a waste! But it's ok because later on when we headed back to our pit to try and start the fire, it started drizzling again, so we went to the seaside where we took even more pictures, heh!
Here they are:
Candid moment!
Well, we got to take our group photo after all! But it wasnt everybody though!
Finally, after taking pictures with our individual phones, we got to starting the fire. The grass was really muddy and very awful to walk on, but we made it to the pits alright. The rain had stopped so we could finally start our fire, but the best part is, we didn't prepare the gripping device (I have totally no idea what it's called, and the one I heard sounded reaaaaaally wrong, so can somebody tell me if it's really called thongs?), and we didn't know how to start a fire! Finally after loads of fanning and a dozen firestarters, we got the charcoal to whiten up and finally start burning, but here's a picture of what it was before the flames got heated up:
Pathetic, I know ahahahah! But kudos to Linsay, Chingwee, Esadora and Denise for persevering to start the proper fire!
The fire finally started, but we were seriously lacking in utensils, we didn't have the brush meant to spread butter on the food, and so we used a fork, and the person putting the butter was Linsay so we ended up having very oily and salty sausages and crabmeat for the first few plates...
After we had eaten our fill, we went to take a bath at the toilets because we were feeling like we desperately needed one. So after the baths, we went to this funfair thingy near the toilets you guys might know about. We played the games there and boy, the one where you win prizes frickin' rips you off! I was totally keen on getting that Audio System which said 18 points, and since I had 6 rolls of the ball to land on a number from 1-8, I was thinking, "WOW, SO EASY!?!?" and then after I rolled more than 30 and wanted to raise my hand to point at it, the guy just promptly took a Tamiya Car Model Kit and placed it infront of me. I was about to go, "What the heck?? Dude, I want the Audio System." Then he explained himself without me asking. "You have to roll exactly the number to get whatever prize you want." My mouth just dropped.
Well, in the end, we won a bunch of prizes, with Linsay and Chingwee getting HUGE teddy bears and Linsay got another car model kit which I am supposed to help her fix up and give it to her another day, heh, well I've the time now, so what the heck! Well, here's the last picture we took before finally packing up at the funfair:
The one at ESCAPE more kick lah. (YOU JUST THOUGHT OF THAT DIDNT YOU!)
Well, this brings the outing to a close, as we went back to our pits, cleaned the area and left, heh, I am glad this outing came along when it did, totally got me into the mood of the holidays at last, and I still can't believe it's all over, heh, I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms of wanting to go home and study and not waste time, ahhahaahha! But SERIOUSLY, to all of you who just completed the exams, IT'S OVER, GO AND HAVE FUN!
