Joanne joanne joanne...omg we see the funniest side of people when we are together in a pinch.

4 of us joined the Hullabaloo Blast Off organised by Tampines east cc, it's some kind of amazing race game where we travel all over tampines to 9 different stations and complete each of them.

I felt like I'm travelling all over singapore from the amount of running we did...ok fine we didn't run much...just shows I'm getting older & older...haa...

And gosh the amount of cheating we did during the game was so great I felt guilty. And yet we only got 700 points while the winners got 900 points...how in the world did they achieve that? They must have cheated even more than we did right...or maybe cheaters like us don't deserve to win hahaha...

I still remember one of the stations called Friendship where we filled up a questionaire & we were asked about our friend's questionaire without looking at our friend, and jo cheated by smsing me her answers: ddeff. I was a very blur person. I stared & stared & stared at the sms cos I didn't understand it. The questionaire had only 3 choices for each question: a, b or c, so why in the world did she sms me ddeff?? Only after the game I realised she must have wanted to sms aabcc...which is a bit too late la...so in the end our cheating didn't go very well.

And there was this station regarding religious tolerance where we were given many many different picture cards & needed to match the symbol of the religion to its name...and guess what's the symbol for buddhists? The noble eight-fold path wheel. My 3 other buddhist team mates didn't know ok! How am I suppose to know such a thing...it's not like it's displayed everywhere. And then there was no crucifix to represent christianity & my friends were confused over that...I really didn't know there are other types of crosses that represent christianity. We had to find & match TEN different religions and with our terrible general knowledge, we took a whole hour on that station. And jo kept throwing the cards down in frustration whenever we got the answers wrong...haha it was funny on hindsight.

Now I'm starting to understand how the other teams won...they were probably smarter than us in many ways...sad ah...

Heh I'm so childish joining such games...please grow up girl...but really the organizers of the event did quite a good job...it was fun, they had kayaking & all that, although I didn't actually kayak, it was really a great day in the end :)

I realise I'm not a thoughtful nor sensitive person...like how I can't say thank you when I'm really very grateful...sigh...just found out I'm having my period so I can't pray terawih...sad sad sad...not to mention that I have terrible moodswings when I'm having my mens...feel like screaming but... astaghfirullahalazim.

I hate whining online...and I am very sian of sending resumes...

Anyway, yesterday was kinda fun. I really enjoy going to the beach. I know people who go there almost every weekend to get away from the city, but I don't. So whenever I go there I just love the quiet scenery around me.

Yesterday's weather was very humid and the fog and mist made it bad to see the distance and the waters are not very very clean...but I like strolling...I think we strolled around 4km along pasir ris beach? Xz and I were looking for the bicycle shack but couldn't find it so we end up walking the wholE length from downtown east to the playground...we felt so greaT to finally reach our destination: the Swings!

I don't know where else we can find swings in Singapore haha...the kind that we can swing up high to feel the wind in our hair...it suddenly reminded me of an episode of Proposal Daisakusen when they went back to the past and Rei was swinging on the swings in their old school. (Yamapi is such a cool actor.)

Then over there we acted childish all over the playground, I climbed the tiny rock wall , climbed the bridge and the spiderweb, tried spinning on that spinning disc thing, slid down the slides...and before leaving, we went back to the swings to swing again...I miss the swings...sigh...

I hope xz enjoyed that failed cycling trip hee yesterday...she listened to all my silly problems without saying a word ^_^

And theres a stable at pasir ris ah? I wanted to go see if there were horses there but although the distance is cycle-able, it wasn't really walkable so we just gave it a miss...yay I enjoy the park...It's such a nice refresh from the concrete jungle we live in.

Oh Clamp made a song of all the characters in all the anime they have made so far...and just look at Mokona (the fluffy white Clamp creature with long ears and a red ruby). She's bouncing all over the place...so very cute! I realise anime tend to love creatures with long ears hahaha...
