Got back from the 3 days, 2 nights holiday in Genting Highlands.
1st dayWoke up really early in the morning, around 5. Went to golden mile to take a coach to Genting. Set off for Genting at around 7. The coach ride took around 6-7 hours before reaching Genting. On the coach, I watched Transporter 2 and slept for quite a while. When we reached Genting, it was freezing cold. We checked into our hotel and I was sharing room with 2 of my cousins. As it was raining, we went for lunch before going to play the indoor theme park. The queue was terrible. It was really long. We spent lots of time queuing to sit the rides. The only ride that I enjoyed the most was the roller coaster. After sitting the rides, we went for our buffet dinner. There was lots of different kinds of food, really delicious. We continued playing in the indoor theme park after our dinner. The first stop that we went to was the haunted adventure. It was really dark and scary, I was screaming away. At around 11, we returned to our hotel, took a bath before going to sleep.
2nd dayWoke up at 6 plus, washed up, ate some snacks while waiting for the rest to wake up. We went for our dim sum breakfast. As it was still early and the indoor theme park did not have so many people, we rushed to ride the rides. This time, we rode more rides as the queues were much more shorter. As there was wet mist outside, we again could not go to the outdoor theme park to play. Had burger king for lunch before watching a movie --- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It was a really fantastic show. After the movie, we wanted to go sky diving but again, the weather was not good. So, we went back to our hotel and washed up. We stayed in the hotel, watching TV. Soon, we got bored and so, we went shopping for our christmas presents. I made my hand sculpture out of wax, bought a lighted and glowing cap and a nike jacket. We went for our dinner before going to watch a performance --- X-treme. The performance showed many dangerous stunts. It was amazing. After watching, we continued playing in the indoor theme park although the queues were long. Went back to our hotel. I watched a show on the TV until 1 before going to sleep.
3rd dayWoke up at 7. We walked to the other side of Genting for our breakfast. After eating and as the weather was fine, we went to play the flying coaster. It was scary at first, dropping down from quite a height and turning 360 degrees twice. It was a fast ride and so, my cousins and I sat for 2 times. We went back to our hotel after the rides to pack our stuffs before checking out. We had a pillow fight in my room before leaving. Had fast food for lunch again. Boarded the coach to return to Singapore. This time, this coach provided a small TV for everybody. I watched lao fu zi, yesterday once more and spiderman. Felt really tired so slept for a while before reaching the check point. Reached Singapore at around 10 plus. We took a taxi from golden mile home. Unpacked all my stuffs, took a bath and went to bed. Slept really nice.
I am going to miss Genting Highlands. Most of all, I am going to miss the cool weather there.

BNCO is over!!!
ok... i won't type out everything of this camp, like day by day, if not this post will be damn long.
first, my group, Soliantu, the most number of people in this camp --- 12! 10 girls and 2 boys. My instructors are Edmund and Ting Yu.
second, my bunk, bunk 3, shared with 16 other people, including everybody from my group except the boys (of course) and my squadmates, Kaixin, Shuh Ying and Olivia.
third, sleeping time, it wasn't so bad after all. slept really nice except the first night. they only woke us up for 2 nights which is really nice!
fourth, bathing time, it was in a mess! only 1 toilet for the nursing to bathe and so it was really noisy! once, the dm asked all the nursing to get out of the toilet except those who were bathing and I was so lucky to just enter the cubicle to bathe, so skipped the punishment!
fifth, eating time, the food was ok except that it was really more than enough! it is just like stuffing food into your mouth even though you are already full, so quite a few occasion i almost vomit everything out!
sixth, pt time, it wasn't that bad except that there was alot of jumping jacks and pumpings. I am so proud of myself that I did not once reported sick or fall out. i am strong...hahas...
seventh, lecture time, some lectures were boring but the rest were ok. I like the camping and camp craft lecture but the topic was not tested in the exam.
eighth, night hike, it was really tiring after the hike, we walked quite a distance. luckily it was in the night and not in the day, so it wasn't that hot.
ninth, talent night, my group came in overall champion! we did 2 dances and 1 song although the song could not really be heard. everybody was like singing the second song as we danced!
tenth, exam time, the exam was really long, i finished it within a short time and I was staring into space after that. One of the instructors looked through my paper, gigling, nodding, shaking, pointing here and there, then passed my paper to another instructor to read! I was wondering what was wrong with my paper? what did I do to make your so amused with my paper?
after camp, went home, unpacked my stuffs and went to bathe. I bathe for a really long time, makes me feel refreshed. next, I changed into clean clothes and went to bed, skipping dinner all the way to the next morning. I am that tired!

Came back from the 2-day camp in school. Very tired...
Day 1Came to school at 6.45am. Reported at the green patch at 8am. Leader went to picked our group's number and my group is NC5. After taking out our stuffs at our bunks, we went to the MPR --- holding room for mini com. My group started off with footdrill. We were very nervous. Next was nursing. We totally flunked it and I did not know how to answer the questions the mdms asked! So disappointing... Lastly was first aid. It was okay cos the case was quite easy. I only realised after the case that I forgot to give the fishball to my leader and place the casualty in recovering position! After all the groups had finished, we ran 4 rounds around the basket ball courts. Next was bathing time and it was quite rushing. We went to the AVA room after bathing. We ate tidbits while watching a show. It was already evening after the show. We had dinner at the canteen. My bunk volunteered to clean up the canteen after dinner. After cleaning up, we went to the forum to discuss about next year's cca fair. We had night trail after the discussion. We went to the library first. We had to pass message from the first person to the last. We did not manage to do so. Next we went to the MEP room. We were supposed to write a song about sj using the tune given. We failed to do so and was asked to walk up and down a dark alley. I was walking with Kaixin and in the end, I fell into the drain! hahas. We went to the sec 1 level bench next. We had to complete a crossword puzzle. We did not complete it within the time limit and so, we had to walk 1 big round around all the sec 1 classroom without a torch. We went to the gym after the bridge. We could not find the mdms and so we walked away. Then, we heard screaming but did not know that the mdms were "calling" us back. We played a game. After this station, we went to the music room under the specs stand. We played pictionary about our seniors. We went to the table tennis area after going to the track. We had to feel 3 objects in 3 boxes and guess them. We wasted most of our time finding for the clue but in the end, the clue led us back to our first station! We went to the quadtriangle to find for the first prize. All the bunks were finding for it. Bunk 4 found the prize --- a bottle of coke. After the night trail, we went for supper. After eating, we went to sleep. I could not sleep, wondering when would the mdms wake us up for changing parade. Finally at 3.15am, we had to fall in. We spent 1 hour changing. At 4.15am, we could return to sleep. Finally, I could sleep in peace.
Day 2Woke up at 6.10am. Washed up before falling in at the green patch. Had pt, ran 3 rounds around the track and played basketball. After playing, we had our breakfast. We did area cleaning after eating. My bunk was in-charge of the corridors and the night trail. We had to change into our full uniform and report at the MPR. We were there 5mins earlier and since our uniforms were not neat and proper, we had to change out of it and change back again. Next, we were to sit according to our groups and listen to the mdms comments. Next was the prize-giving ceremony. I was aiming for the best al but Ruixin got it. But I got another surprising award, best in CPR! I disliked CPR last year and so I was shocked. When the mdms announced that NC5 got best in first aid, I was even more shocked. NC5 was also 2nd runner up. I think that we got 3rd because of our best in first aid, we got best in first aid because of my best in CPR! hahas...lame...nvm... We had out door cooking after that. We had difficulties lighting up a fire. In the end, we cooked the eggs, 1 packet of maggie mee and a can of luncheon meat. I was going around feeding my bunk mates! We packed up after cooking and cleared our bunks. We were dismissed at 2pm.
After dismissal, Waner, Kaixin, Xilei, Huiying, Shuhying, Boonyi, Xinrong and I went to eat tau huay. Went home after that. My mum told me that I received an edusave scholarship! Wow! Took a bath before sleeping. :)
