Hello Singapore!
What's up!!~
Oh my, Singapore red cross contingent
is really the best in my eyes! <3
I am back from batam friendship youth camp,
organised by the Palang Merah Indonesia. It
is also a red cross society.
All I want to say is that, I am tired now after the long journey to
my grandmother's house. I am here now. I feel that who cares even if
I am gone but I never regretted going. I enjoyed myself so much!
I am missing the place now, the friends made especially DENI!
He is so nice! There's so much thing to say about the trip!
I think it gets funner as the days goes by.
Friendships were forged.
Happiness was everywhere.
Although it was a 3rd world country, and
I have so much to say, especially the toilets,
but it is about being flexible and getting
use to the environment.
I think no one misses me that much.
No one really bothers to see me
But I miss sleeping in the tent now!
The grass is comfortable, and the cleaning of tents
rocks seriously! Our tent got flooded and it toppled because
of the strong wind and rain! It was extremely team bonding
time with my tent mates as we clear the water out of the tent.
There campfire fire was awesome and the words in fire.
I suggest to Calvin to have it for campfire next year.
It will be indeed an eye opener.
Time flies, five days have passed in a blink of an eye.
I never expect myself to feel this way.
I was just getting use to the environment
and I had to leave.
The meals were alright, edible! :)
The countries that went too
was Indonesia, Malaysia, German, Thailand
& Singapore. Thailand girls are so pretty!
I really have so much to say,
and write all my reflections down,
but I shall leave that for the camp report.
I still have ULP camp report first! (:
I really love the camp,
it is the longest camp
I have ever went and
I survived! I can survived!
Signing off,
Laura ka!
P.S. I just saw the fighter planes flew by,
the singapore flag and the helicopter.
NDP rehearsals must be going on now.
I miss NDP so much too!
I really love the atmosphere there.
The yummy KFC and PIZZA HUT,
the SOYA MILK W/O LACTOSE!
Ahhh screams!
A simple life is as happy too,
so long your mind is ready for it.
I Am happy now :D
Palang Merah Indonesia!
Singapore Red Cross Society!
My loves!
sleepy!

This is just a short blog post
to keep my readers entertained.
Well, if there's any! :D
Today has been a tiring day,
have been sleeping everywhere I go.
Woke up in the early midst of the day
for YOG briefing. I fell asleep through the first hour.
Calvin Sir woke me up. Okay, that was
embarassing. Brenda darling too,
fell asleep. Bernice was quite attentive, as if.
I bet boredom filled in the minds of many.
I think the 8 modules are more interesting!
After which, did something really bad.
Arrived at Central to grab a small bite
and discuss proposals stuffs as well as to
walk around the basement level. Time was
indeed more constructive there!
Mummy came to pick me up after which,
and we headed for Furama Hotel
for Father's day Lunch. It's a pity
my father has a bad sore throat.
He's upset about it.
Oh well, God blesses him.
I probably get him medication for his
present. He welcomes it too!
( Skipping of stuffs )
Now having a throbbing headache.
I have been doing YOG modules and
proposals the whole night. Eyes went bad, hope not!
Am I expecting alot from myself ?
I think I am rather a perfectionist.
I want things to go well.
That's about it today.
Wayne darling is still not back yet!
Oh, misses!
Warmest Loves,
L :D

Oh, Random posting.
Obviusly not very free still for long posts.
I realise a thing,
all my post has to do with red cross stuffs.
It shows my holiday has been busy with red cross matters.
I just to reassure that I will not lose commitment
I will do my best
in my other roles in class, in Hougean Leadership council, studies.
in my social life, I try to make time for others.
in my own personal life, more time for myself, self-enjoyment
I know that there are many things on going now.
Many unfriendly remarks goes on and on, unhappy about me.
Facing this reality, I will still stay strong.
Well, not everyone understand how I feel.
I am working out plans to balance out everything.
I will do my best.
TO LEAD AND TO SERVE!
Contact Session 3, ULP passing out parade,
here I come! I can't wait to touch on the reports, proposals,
and feel the sense of accomplishment when done!
P.S. I really need to touch on my rectangular things!
And not those normal rectangular stuffs.
Those in myraid colours,
perhaps black and white inside,
everything is numbered off
be it in the middle of the bottom
or towards the right
and is simply what you are seeing now.
It cracks people brain at times,
but it is something that make us grow
deeper in knowlegde and wisdom!
I miss it so much! Can you guess? (LOL)
Amaths tuition teacher started it!
Random!
Warmest loves,
L :D

Growing good cornsJames Bender, in his book How to Talk Well (published in 1994 by McGraw-Hill Book Company Inc.) relates the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn.
Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and
learned something interesting about how he grew it.
The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.
'How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours
when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?' the reporter asked.
‘Why sir,' said the farmer, 'didn't you know?
The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and
swirls it from field to field.
If my neighbours grow inferior corn,
cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.
If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn.
' He is very much aware of the connectedness of life.
His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions of our lives.
Those who choose to be at peace,
must help their neighbours to be at peace.
Those who choose to live well must help others to live well,
for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.
And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness,
for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
The lesson for each of us is this . . .
if we are to grow good corn,
we must help our neighbours grow good corn.
The end.
This is such a sweet and meaningful story shared by Yvonne Ma'am, the picture is from UNIchannel.
Tomorrow is ULP camp,
of course there is alot of feelings,
There is happiness and excited-ness,
yet there is fears and anxiety.
I wonder if I can sleep well tonight.
Let me keep my fingers crossed.
I think most people are also feeling like this too,
unless I am abnormal?
A half of here and there.
I got to go now,
I will be away from 11-14 June.
Don't miss me too much,
because these four days will
pass in a blink of an eye for me.
The camp is coming,
I must get ready
for my speeches for public speaking
and read my little blue book.
( scared! )
But go go all the way!
I know I can make it through!
The journey doesn't stops halfway,
it goes all the way! :D
Ma'am said, the worst have yet to
come, go for camp and you'll know.
JIAYOUS!
With loves,
L-AA

Dearest Diary,
Looks like trekking is the in thing for me now.
Today hiked for a long distance,
from Mount Faber Park,
to Kent Ridge Park.
God really blesses us with good weather.
Though I told people that,
people first responsed was,
" I thought it rain quite heavily? "
Well, to me and some others,
I rather it rains heavily
then the scorching sun shinning
at us, where our skin would peel off,
and our brain would get free sauna.
The weather was quite cooling at first,
really refreshing!
only towards the end,
then did it rained with
some slight thunderstorms.
I trekked with my ulp group mates,
Bravo 2, I am estatic upon having
the chance to interact with them.
Sad that I got to leave early,
think I will miss out quite alot.
Got a new love story in our group.
Today, my goal for common habits
is to not say " ya ",
but " yes " instead.
You must be wondering,
why am I so free to post today.
Well actually, no!
I am waiting for Pan Fei guy
to see and edit my proposal,
before I send it to the sirs and ma'ams.
I can't probably bathe finish,
and everything in 15 minutes.
So, I am staying by with this computer.
Keeping vigiliant, yes!
Dear Lord, I pray that
for the actual hike,
may the weather be thumbs-up!
Meaning, like today, is one example.
I got to go now,
tomorrow am going out with
Ming xuan and Jasmine,
and they haven call to say anything
even though one said she is calling D:
I did plan abit on what to do for tomorrow's meet up though.
But are we still meeting up?
Sighs.
Well, i don't know.
That's the end of today.
Goodnight my fellow readers.
Stay tunned to the
double AA post.
Warmest regards,
L :D
and YES is so needed! Not Ya, that's too informal!
YES
YESYES
YES

Finally, 1 camp down, 2 more to go!
Everything's red cross camps.
Camp gem was great,
did learn things,
and yeap, although there was
communication break down and sort of things,
glad that the camp still went as per normal,
and its good to see the campers smiling.
Glad to see some cadets grow along the way
and open up through many patience talking to them
Kenneth is one, am glad he dance the performance,
and make te effort to jot down notes every rehearsal on it.
There are many others too.
Campfire was great,
though I was a judge,
I think the fireball part was
much more nicer?
I mean, its rare that we get
to learn such things.
Fell sick again.
During CS2 was not feeling very well,
not everyone was very approachable.
Just have to stick with it.
My whole week was simply
red cross.
Next camp coming up is
ULP camp. I think I did more planning
in this than in red cross camp gem.
I was hardly part of the planning despite
asking them quite alot of times,
oh break camp already anyway.
But being part of planning for ulp is busy indeed.
the amount of stress piling up,
the uncompleted homework,
the many commitments.
But i guess I did learnt alot of what
is expected in a proposal,
and am able to bring back many things
with me in my little blue ulp book!
I got 3 full days free to myself only,
and yeap, no taking away that day from me.
I really need a rest to be
fully prepared for the next.
Tomorrow going for a prehike
from mount faber to kent ridge park,
and yes, all the way,
I can do it!
Fear shall not overcome me,
to lead and to serve,
Warmest regards,
Lauraa
* OH yeah! I tried contacts,
funny, So hard to put them on,
maybe i shant do one anymore!
okay, ma'am said I protray myself
as a professional, cold, quiet, business lady like.
I must break the ice.
Finally a smile in my post,
so not use to having to smile
when things are serious now! ;D
