Gotten ma room in ntu hall 10. 52-5-1020.

It was extremely dusty when I first came in on 28 Jul 08 (Mon), de dae when ma orientation camp started. Had to do my own cleaning which I have not done for ages.

De first day we played silly games. Thankfully I wasn't dreading much.

Yesterday went dragon boating before starting our amazing race. 1st place was clarke quay, followed by chinatown's URA building and den little india.

I was kena eyebrow threading at de little india station after we had our lunch at tekka market. But I wasn't reluctant. Cos can get free personal grooming.

Can't imagine we had to shout cheers in de market in front of so many ppl. Some of my mates even had to do cat walk on train, or conduct safety briefing on sbs bus. Lol. I pretended not to noe them haha.

Our last stop was camp christine where we had fright night. Ma gal partner was quite brave as well and I c her up! I can't stand gals who scared tis and tat. Totalli annoying. I returned to hall at 0200 wif onli a few. Had bad ulcer near ma tonsils and I went to see doc tis afternoon at ntu's medical centre. Costs mi onli 7.20 bucks.

Am I ready for a new phase of my life?

I'm moving into hostel tomorrow. But I am reluctant to leave. The idea of sharing a room with someone else really frustrates me. I can't stand someone's snore.

But nevertheless I have to try. If only school is near home.

Tomorrow is the start of a 5-day orientation camp for my hall, hall 10. Hope I don't get into loggerheads with anyone.

If all things go awry, I shall move home.

Just returned from Genting a few days back from 21-24 Jul 08 (Mon - Thu). Stayed in Resort Hotel. When I first entered the room, I was totally amazed by the refurbishment. It looked totally different from the past.

A wardrobe accessible from the toilet. However, it means people outside could just open up and hooray ~ you're bathing! Mum then kept criticising at such stupid design idea. She's just too afraid I would play prank on her

This claypot rice costs me RM14 plus

This nasi lemak costs RM10 plus?

A mexico bun and ice lemon tea for RM12.00

It's indeed daylight robbery in Genting!

And I kept eating this mangosteen everyday in the room because they were sooooooo tasty and sweet~ Bought from a rest stop along the way uphill

The hotel's lobby design has also changed and looks more warmth

Went to M Spa and Fitness in Genting Hotel for RM45.00. Used the gym the previous night for RM30.00

This double decker coach that we took reminded me of my days at Airebus

Except that Airebus has no personal TV

Day 1: Singapore to Denpasar, Bali - 12 Jul 08 (Mon)

Suji Bungalow

Overlooking Kuta Beach from Discovery Shopping Mall

Kuta Square

Suji Bungalow's pool

Day 2: Kuta to Nusa Lembongan to Kuta - 13 Jul 08 (Sun)

Waiting to embark our sail

A welcome on Bali Hai cruise to Nusa Lembongan - Bali Hai's private beach. Bali Hai is an Australian company set up in Bali

Hr got seasick due to rough sea

Submarine

Clear water for snorkelling fun

I love the pool where we played volleyball

Set on another rough journey back. My pants were all drenched as a super big wave over-ride us and stunned me for a moment. I thought I was on a pirate ship

Good place to throw up

Close the sail as we called back to Benoa Harbour. It's end of a day on water.

Day 3: Kuta to Uluwatu to Seminyak to Kuta - 14 Jul 08 (Mon)

Sun bathing on Kuta Beach - once we tried to lay our towels, so many touters came to us trying to sell mats, souvenirs and temporary tattoos

This is how Kuta Beach looks like - with surf lessons at USD30 over for 2 hours. Hanrong and I were far out in the seawater when suddenly a super high wave got us swirling! Luckily my contact lens were still intact. Thrilling!

Stretch of shops and hotels along Kuta Beach. Bought a 12 doughnuts from Donkin' Donuts but they were later bitten by a rat that patronised our room on one night. On another night, the rat was shifting my bag placed on a bedside table and woke me up. I saw the rat running across the room and escaped through an invisible hole

Cliff on which Uluwatu Temple stands

Monkeys are infamous here for snatching tourists' sunglasses, cameras etc. And you got to pay in order to ask for help in retrieving your items. Thankfully I was well-prepared even before the trip. A Chinese tourists had his sunglasses snatch away and was fussing over the price he had to pay
