back from ophir[like since how long ago la]

my 2nd time gg up there, like wow!~ there are so many ladders now. 1 yr ago, there was no ladder to climb but juz rocks n we juz climbed. But at least its safer now.

started off at larkin, where we treated ourselves with buy 7 get 5 free dunkin donuts. yah, energy in; energy out. it is justified, not sinful ok!?


as expected, the 1st 20-25min the the trek was just steps, steps n more steps. was dripping so much sweat tt these are some expressions tt come outta our mouth:

Geoks: i'm a walking waterfall!
Me: my eyebrows are not functioning anymore!

we were literally dripping sweat all over the place. N yah, perspiration was entering my eyes coz my eyebrows had reached saturation pt. in terms of preventing sweat frm coming down.

We reached CP4, at approx 6pm on the 1st day. Anyway, here's some of the highlights of our meal plan:

Dinner: Pineapple rice with pineapple cubes n sprinkled chicken floss, omelette wif hotdog, curry chicken. Chilled pudding for dessert

2nd day's breakfast: French Toast, pandan/chocolate chip bread with generous spread of nutella/cheese spread/peanut butter.

2nd day's dinner: pasta wif chunky soup(mushroom clam chowder)

See, who said u gotta stick wif maggi mee for trekking?

Anyway, on our 2nd day, we trekked up to the summit of Mt Ophir. Reached the summit at 1256pm, and den we had lunch and TP-ed ALOT up there in all sorts of pose, cheesy ones, MTV ones, in deep thoughts one..all sorts of funny combinations. I was e 2nd day TP IC so i managed to capture the moment.

View from the top, birds eye view.

And another..

We conquered Mt Ophir!


Highlights of the trip include a 2nd edition of Top 10 stupid things tt wendy does[in ophir]. Opps, She did it again.. On the account tt we r twins, i shall not mention. Ok, here's a sneak peak of a few

Number 5: "He..he is..Mr Del Monte!!" [when it shd be Debonair]
Number 4: Laughing uncontrollably at her above mistake which i pointed out tt she farted in the tent, much to our horror.

N you know how u tend to take in lotsa air when u r laughing? We almost died inside the tent. Power fart once again, everybody.

Another highlight was the fact tt our group, which consist of 5 Da Bao gals[mona, wendy, geoks, jul n i] and 2 guys[the only 2 gd guys ard, suan kim and jun ming], were the most efficient of all. It got quite infruating tt we were actually always the 1st to finish packing n ready to go at the stipulated time, and as a result have to wait for even the committee members. For instance, when they set a time of 830 to go down the mountain on day 3, they told us it meant ready to go by 830. Meaning tents unpitched and packed, ready to go. We only set off at like, 930!? At 830, the other grp, as well as the comm grp, were still unpitching tents. urgh

and e 5 of us were pretty adventurous actually. now we know who to jio for back packing trips in future. All the streetside food we tried while the others decide to eat KFC when we reached Tangkat. Cmon, i mean, we can find KFC everywhere la! come all the way here n eat KFC? In the end, we ate 浆油鸡， 叉烧饭， 猪什汤，chendol, ice kachang, and chocolate wafer. When it comes to food, u have to be adventurous and really try out those streetside shops!

the adventures of the 5 Da Bao girls[our secret identity] What's next..Kinabalu?


Thursday: went back to sch to wash up the stores, n then met up wif the crescent clique at ecp mac for christmas celebration. Nite cycling was on in e end, and i was e last woman. Damn shagged as i only had 5hrs of sleep the night b4, cant believe i ill-treat those quads n legs of mine.

10 of us.

Coincidence of presents.

wenya bought lipin the body towel, while i bought weili the pooh bear face towel[with her name stitched on it] talk bout mo qi. heh

Friday: got back results. I finally see As appearing. I'm contented, yet at the same time i do know tt shd i want to take honours, i still gotta work much harder. Thank you Lord. Yes, think i need to thank everyone, like wenya for the psych txtbk, jul for the el1101e readings, jason n yirang for tips on wad to focus for js1101e, wenting for the soci txtbk, and mostly to wendy, my dearest twin, for tt huge stack of notes tt u provided me. mindmaps n all, thanks twin. U know how a thank you is nv enough la, but yah..

At this pt, i suddenly flashback to last sem, for our very last trg. So happen tt it was the day of the 'interview', where it all boils down to an interview wif e vice dean of fass for undergrad matters, prof pauline straughan. aft which i rushed down for trg, tried to contain my excitement and glee upon knowing tt she had approved of my transfer frm science to arts course, on the spot. i kinda 'succeeded' in making everyone believe tt the interview went badly, coz i juz kept quiet during trg n it seemed like i was gonna be stuck in science for the rest of my nus life. Den at the end of trg, i went to wendy, i juz had to break the news to her, she had to be the first person i tell. i said, 'wendy, do u believe tt we r really twins?' n she said, 'yah, why?' and den i said, 'tts coz i'm really the same fate as u. haha welcome me to arts!'

this is wendy for u


Yes, the 2 pple who started of as maths major, and thankfully had the opportunity to make a detour along the way upon realising tt we really didnt fit into our course, and tt arts was acutally the one all along. thank u for all the advices. N for those who constantly ask if i'm coping well wif db and studies, thanks for the concern. u noe who u r.
