Woah, today was a really LONG and amazing day I had haha. Firstly, I wish to say sorry to my PW group members cause I missed out on the meeting that was organised today. Sorry people! I was fully occupied today with games meeting so I figured that there wasnt any point for me to attend the PW meeting when I already missed more than half of it already. And I couldn't leave the group when the games stuff was left unfinished for the day.
And so, I'll start mentioning what happened for me today.
Last night, I slept at 2.00am, and today I woke up at 6.30am cause our plan was to meet at Habour Front at 7.30am to eat breakfast together. When I reached Habour Front at around 7.26am, the first person I saw was Jinfa and he was sitting down at a side in the MRT station. I sat down and joined him, but within moments one of the MRT staff came to tell us that we were not allowed to sit down and wait for people. Thus, we stood up and waited at another part of the MRT station. And we were puzzled cause there was a sign saying loitering wasnt allowed. And wouldnt sitting down be following this rule? Well I guessed certain MRT stations have certain rules haha. Well a while later, Swee Wei reached and joined the 2 of us. And the 3 of us waited for Hui Min to join us before we went off for breakfast. She reached at around 7.45am.
The 4 of us proceeded to the nearby hawker centre and had our breakfast. Well I think I wont go into so detail the food we ate there haha. After we had finished our breakfast, we then went to meet up with Cun Zheng, Wei Jun, Bee Fong and Candice reached only later and were eating Macs at the Habour Front Centre. After all of our group was ready, we went to take the chartered bus to Sentosa. Well, we reached Sentosa at around 9.00am and started to get to work.
Our task today as game masters was to scout the area of Sentosa so that we could figure out and note down specifically which places were more suitable to set up games, and a rough estimate of how much time we took to move between station to station. And at the same time we managed to find out information about who to contact for hiring buses to Sentosa and the ferry timings etc. The game masters included Jinfa our head, Hui Min, Swee Wei, Candice, Choy and Me. Cun Zheng joined us cause he is from programmes committee, and Bee Fong and Wei Jun joined us to see if they could help out in any way.
From the main entrance, we walked to the ferry terminal and then saw the lost civilisation area where there were lots of stone totems and "ancient structures" haha. And from there we proceeded to the musical fountain, and were about to go to the Merlion when it started raining! And we had no choice but to hide under shelter. The best shelter nearby was the big building near the ferry terminal, and we had to run back to it through this "plant and leaf covered" shelter which was a temporary measure. Well, in the end we still had to run through the rain to get back to profer shelter. It was quite sad that because of the rain, we werent able to continue with our scouting properly, so we sat down at Burger King which was there in the building and discussed about our games which were school based.
Eventually, after the rain stopped we continued on and went to the Merlion, and then to the Dragon Trail. The worst part of our scouting was the Dragon Trail cause there was throughout sections of the trail where puddles of water had collected due to the rain, and it was really muddy and dirty. And it was worse cause most of us were wearing slippers or sandals....Well that's what you get when you try to walk through a forest path after it has just rained. The only lucky person in our group was Jinfa who wore shoes haha. After that enduring Dragon Trail, we finally reached the area near Siloso beach. And so we went to check out the area around Underwater World. Ok, I must admit that we were working and taking a look at the attractions there haha. We were admiring the pond were we saw a few really large turtles and fishes having a "mass breathing session" haha. During around this time, Choy finally came to join us cause he had Logistics meeting at school earlier on today so cant blame him haha. The few of us then went to check out Fort Siloso and found out that we couldnt use it as a checkpoint cause we had to buy tickets for entering the area.
We then carried on to Siloso beach. After walking quite a distance, we finally reached this chair lift station where we could pay $3 and travel all the way back to the area before the Dragon Trail where all the food places were located. I was unlucky cause we intended to take the chair lift, and when I took out my money my $1 coin dropped into a gap of the wooden platform. I could see it in the gap, but after trying quite a few times to take it out, I figured had no choice but to leave it alone there haha. Suay sia.
During this time, Jinfa started to feel unwell cause he was having stomach cramps. We then decided to cut short our scouting and we returned together to the mainland. Cun Zheng accompanied Jinfa to send him to the doctor while the rest of our group then went to Habour Centre again for lunch. We ate at Subway for lunch, and during our lunch Cun Zheng eventually came back to join us cause he sent Jinfa off in a cab already. After lunch Choy had to leave early cause he had other important matters to attend to. If you people didnt know, that was my first time eating at Subway! Haha... I bet I'll always remember it.
Our group then went to Plaza Singapura and Centre Point in Dhoby Gaut where we did a lot of window shopping and walking lol. I must say these 2 places are all about earrings and jewellery and stuff lol. And one comment I made was that big earrings to me are for "weight lifting" haha. I wonder why earrings need to be so big sia. Well that's my point of view. At Centre Point, we really had no idea where our next destination was to be, and we figured that after all that walking we should take a break at Coffee Bean or Starbucks. And so we walked along Orchard road in search of these 2 places, but eventually we sat down at Mac Cafe haha. Along the way of Orchard Road, there was a station set up where people were having a promotion of this F&N Blazt drink and free drinks of it were being given out to every passerby. We tried it out and it was quite ok. It's kind of like a mango taste soft drink. And there were like drink cans everywhere, oh well its quite typical for Singaporeans like us to go for free stuff haha.
When we sat at the Mac Cafe to take a break, the girls made a scary discovery that one of the fans above us had a dead butterfly stuck in the metal wire lid covering. What a bad way to die for a butterfly. And after we rested enough, we took a walk around the shopping centre there and we were stuck again about where to go haha. After another brainstorming session, we decided to go to Marina Square near City Hall to eat dinner at Han's. When we finally reached Han's, Cun Zheng had to leave cause he had a family function to go to. After finishing our dinner, we then went to Esplanade where we just sat down, admired the Singapore river and chatted about stuff haha. And we were convinced that Jinfa is a workaholic cause he called us halfway just to brief us again and allocate our work for games haha. The next to leave was Bee Fong cause she went to accompany her friend who was returning home, and soon after that the rest of us went home as well.
Even though I slept so little last night, I am amazed that I was able to endure through the whole day of walking and brainstorming and stuff haha. I thought that I would be dead tired halfway through, but I guess its because of the great ompany that kept me sustaining through all that haha. You rock people! Thank you all for such a great day. And I'm quite amazed again that I have enough energy to blog until this late even after such a busy day. I just feel energized and enthusiastic enough to do so haha. After today, I feel even more closer and bonded with everyone who I went out with today. Its these kind of things that make life interesting haha. Of course, fun is fun, but when work comes we still must learn to prioritise. I also learnt today that one of Hui Min's 100% successful technique to make people laugh, is when she sings "我从山中来，带着莲花草。" Well that's what she told me. Hm, I hope the lyrics are correct haha. And the guys who went for the today have suffered quite a number of "battle scars" lol. Luckily we are peaceful people haha. Oh well today was a funny and great day. I had a lot of laughs today too.
And here are some pictures taken from today:
Here's today's Sentosa Scout Team! Haha. Here we are going to the Musical Fountain.
