E.R.R Trip

Oh yeah~Back from Eagle Ranch and well, the trip was cool but it rained a lot= =. In truth, Eagle Ranch wasn't as splendid as I imagined it to be but that doesn't really matter. We had fun and we went high. Good job, Pei & Jo Fan! =D

Ok, now a little recap of what happened:

Day 1
Reached at 8!!! Normal trip-goers were supposed to reach by 12 but I had my campers test practice so yeah...Mom brought luggage to school at 12, along with the eggs= =(to be used for the game)Left school at 1. Got bored in the bus for about 2 hours. Lol, I remember upon reaching, someone exclaimed"Wah, so ulu de ah"= = But, yes,E.R.R didn't seem as great as the photo, lol, the roads aren't paved but it was sure a nice place to cycle, on most of the roads, you could just hold the handle bars, and without pedalling, the bike will move anyway. Though, it is very hard to go UP the slopes. > Ya Jing and Le yi. Ley Kuan was at first but she moved in with Yi Leng, Shi Yi and Fiona in TeePee 10, which is next door.

Hm..after getting settled down, doing a bit of exploring, changing clothes, it was time for the first game. Water balloons! Guys versus Girls! Then everyone got really excited feeling balloons in their rooms, at that sink place outside. On us girls side it was like." hey the guys are still behind us, only filled up a few balloons only." Then, " OMG! They suddenly took out one big pail from a room!!"LOL.Girls on one side, guys on the other. All set with balloons in their hands and then...it was war. Balloons flying everywhere...Ley Kuan sprained her foot though she kena-ed a balloon also= =. And then, I stupidly let myself get splashed. i was just standing there, balloons all ran out and Seng Yew came with a balloon, said "Zhi Min" and burst it on my shoulder!!Soon, balloons ran out and it was time to bring out the heavy artillery. We filled up buckets and those scoop things and splashed each other. It was so chaotic, people snatching buckets here and there. Damn fun la. And damn wet too. I slip and grazed my knee as well T-T.

After dinner, it was the nightwalk,meaning a walk in the forest= =. And I'm the first one o.0 which is pretty good since I 'm right behind the guide. Lol. And I thought I would be last. It's so dark that when you go to the same place yesterday you wouldn't know you walk there before. = =Like, wa actually passed by the Obs Course that night but we couldn't see all those obstacles.

Hmm..after that it's free time. Stayed in our room. Jes Cee, Pei She, Rachel, Melody, Jo Fan and Andrew went around "carolling" which is knocking on people's doors and wishing them Merry Christmas when they answer. Crapped till late at night with Le Yi.

Day 2
Someone sabotaged us!!! Like 7a.m? Someone banged on our door and when we opened it. There was this:

And not just us, all rooms(even the teacher's) had shaving cream messages on their door steps.

After breakfast, which is a buffet at the Watering Hole(the eatery), it's game time again.

We all were randomly put into groups by seeing which number with got. I got 2. Group members: Me, Wan Jin, Joe Yin, Chong Seng, Ge Hoa and Choon Yit.

Won't go into details bout the game cause I may use them next time. Wakaka..And I don't have photos..Gonna grab from Seng Yew when he's on. But the games were fun and wet and DIRTY!!
So we had a bath after gaming. OH YEAH! My team won! Hahahhaa..And we were pretty infront too..Andrew was the last stop..and so we had to do every other station before going to him. And we were quite early that it was like ' Aiya..Slowly la..we win already de la". And we did. Our prize was a bag of chips each =D.

Then lunch. After lunch, we were free till 4.30pm which is the treasure hunt. So I rented a bike for an hour. Rm 5 for a bike. And rode around the place. Ah..cycling is so nice and the whether was pretty windy too. Le Yi doesn't know how to cycle and attempting to teach her was no use too. So I rode by myself and she stayed in the Teepee. While riding, I decided to capture the sights.

The Swimming Pool



The Field


Seminar Hall

Paintball Counter

I also cycled down to the Obs course and then walked down to the beach, or close to it.


LOL..Ley Kuan and Chang Yi were there too.

After the ride, I went back to the teepee.Soon, it rained. Seng Yew came over. Soon, Ley Kuan and Chang Yi came over as well. We had this sort of karaoke session where we sang songs played by the handphones. LOL..when singing" Because of You", we only knew the chorus.So only that part was extra loud. After that, they all had a nap.

Everyone's napping now



Ok, the treasure hunt was still on eventhough the rain was still there. So we had to walk in the rain.This is like a picture hunt, so we have to find the answers according to the picture. But, listening to Seng Yew's advice, we just went and asked people for the answers= =. Our group finished the earliest but we weren't the ones with the highest marks.

After dinner, most of u stayed behind to chat. Then we went into Wan Jin's teepee, cause Pn Chee went just like" let's go invade a teepee so we did. Some played erm..mahjung, some played cards, we watched movies on the laptop. Some were even showing us magic card tricks. Then, they said to gather at the pool instead.

I didn't really play there..cause maybe it was too pressuring already..But talking to Jo Fan,Ley Kuan and Andrew about the "point" at the bar was fun too. They were all seated around the jacuzzi , playing this tempo game and mafia. "给我tempo,ready go.请你和我这样做"

In Wan Jin's room


In the middle of mafia

Andrew's cap LOL

Mafia too

Day 3
Woke up late. Had breakfast late and didn't get to see the sunset. It was still raining so after breakfast we just stayed in our rooms and packed and waited till 12 to check out and leave. We then headed to Sri Kembangan for lunch. In the bus, they played the tempo game and mafia for a while.


Our room before leaving

All gathered at the back

For lunch, we stopped at this cafe called" Pitstop cafe" and had chicken chop. They gave us board games to play too and we got crazy over this ugly monster game, where you pile the cards face down and take turns to turn over the cards, once three identical cards show, we must try to snatch as many of the 3 as we can. So , a lot of table banging could be heard and it's seem that girls are more better(and aggressive) than the boys at this game. LOL










After that, it's a group photo and back on the bus to school.

With that,3A2'08 class trip ends. Promising for more to come in the near future.
