Making a "movie"
I decided to explore Windows Movie Maker today after hearing that it can do quite alot of stuff :) Chose some of the pics that Yi Qi uploaded and made it into a slide show, but the quality was heavily compromised when I uploaded it :( Anyway, the following video took up 3 hrs plus of my time, from choosing the pics, to arranging them, putting in all the transitions as well as the 2 songs, and not forgetting the title plus credits, so do take a look! :D

Ubin Trip!
Too tired to go into details, shall use the highlighted pics to help me tell my story :)
Reached TM Mac at 8.30am and was wowed by the number of ppl going (30 in all but not all came at the same time)... After breakfast we waited at the bus interchange for the very last person to come (u noe hu u are, lolx) b4 boarding and the bus was like totally owned by us!
Super long nv take ferry (or rather a small boat) liao... Found tat its still not too shaky and I could stand all the way :)

After we reached we hung around and waited for the rest...

Altogether we had to wait for 3 diff boats to arrive and wait for everyone to alight b4 continuing our journey...
We proceeded but there was a strange object in the middle of nowhere...
On closer inspection, we realised wad it was and was super excited! :D
In spite of our excitement, we managed to contain ourselves and finally reached the official entrance...
After settling our bike rentals, we basically went ard the whole island looking for and at diff stuff... I was on the move so didnt reli take alot of pics... More memories will be available at the Agapian Website after Yi Qi uploads her pics :)

All I can say is tat it was definitely tiring!!
Finished everything at abt 5 plus, returned our bikes, and went back to mainland...
We had dinner at the hawker in Changi Village and the place really sells super gd fd! :) Took Si Hui's recommendation and ate the chicken cutlet hor fan from one of the famous stalls... Maybe I was REALLY hungry, but it was deliciously superb! :DDD
Ok the next section is for nature lovers, and its abt "flowers found on Pulau Ubin" Enjoy! :) [courtesy of Li Juan :)]

Choices...
My first attempt at an "emo" post... Do gimme ur comments, lolx :)
I realised tat there are many stuff tat we shdnt be worrying abt, cos there is reli no point... Sometimes life throws a punch at you and you're breathless for that moment... The recovery is impt, cos it shows ur attitude and determines how u move on in life... The same thing can happen to 2 diff ppl but yet the outcomes r not the same, lolx... Too often we wanna simplify things but we noe tat certain things juz cant be simplified... Too often we try to shrug things away and pretend tat it doesnt matter but in our heart we noe it does...
I realised tat indeed the more knowledgeable u become, u discover tat actually u truly onli know so little, and its reli ironic... Sometimes we think we noe something or someone very well, but the fact is tat we're juz viewing it/them thru our own perspectives and the truth prob isnt like... But anyway, talking abt truth, who can say for sure wad is truth anyway? In a corrupted world like this, false things become true and the truth becomes distorted till it seems false =/
I realised tat friends are really, really (x infinity) very important... God said tat he did not create man to be alone all by himself... Over the first half of 2008, I saw how all my friends around me played very important roles in many diff issues big and small, without ANY one of them I would prob not be where I am today :) If u're reading this my friend, I juz wanna say tat I appreciate you for being a part of my life and for all that you've done! :)))
Ok, on a side note, I shall tok abt today's badminton session, which will prob be my last b4 sch starts :( My new badminton shoes reli made a diff, lolx... Attempted a few jump shots quite successfully and could reli move ard much easier :) There was this part where I was playing behind the courts with Serene and Felly and they suddenly wanted to learn how to pick up shuttlecocks (as in juz by using the racket and not ur hands) so they ask me to teach them... I was abit lost in teaching but it was quite retarded seeing all of us there picking up shuttlecocks again, and again, and again, and again, and ... LOL rite? Anyway the worst thing was tat I left my badminton racket there :((( Shd be able to get it back but I'm already missing it... The racket 真的是跟我一起有福同享，有难同甘! Hope tat it doesnt get insomnia without me! :D

Badminton Shoes!
Went to Queensway Shopping Centre ytd with Kai Qi and Thomas, and I got a new pair of badminton shoes... I knew that it was "the one", or rather "the pair" when I saw it, and bought it though the price was abit steep... Now I'm telling myself not to regret it, lolx... Seriously like the colour combi of orange and blue :)
Plus today I went down to get my racket after changing the string and grip... Reli looks super cool la! :D Cant wait for badminton this Sunday! Can test all my new equipment!! :)))

10 Promises To My Dog
A very enriching, touching and meaningful movie, 10 Promises To My Dog describes the relationship a young girl has with her dog and how it was there for her throughout the different phases of her life... The movie portrays simple lessons in love and life, and the importance of family and friends... There will be moments of joy and laughter, and some heart-wrenching scenes too... Do remember to bring ur tissues, lolx... Definitely a muz-watch show!! :D
"If you're lost you can look, and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
time after time"
