Batam Trip

On 23rd and 24th May, my school's PSG has organised a Batam trip for 2 day 1 night. I had a lot of fun and made many new memories. It was also the first time I held a million dollar in my hand. XD

On the first day, we woke up early to gather at YCSS. We then took a charted bus to the ferry terminal. We board a ferry to Batam and then transferred to another bus. We met our tour guide. We started our city tour to different outlets such as chocolate house and branded outlets. After the outlets, we went for lunch. The food was delicious and nice but there were too many flies. Before we know it, 'see who can catch more flies' game began. 


After our mini game, we continued to go to a few other outlets before going to Nagoya Hill shopping center. We get 2 hours of free time and we used it to shop around. After that we went to the top floor where Old Town Kaya Toast is at for a break. We met other families there and joined the tables so that we could talk. 

After a while, my sis and I decided to go to the arcade center to throw some hoops. After throwing hoops, we decided to play a few games of billiard. Touching a cue stick after so long was relaxing and fun. 

After Nagoya Hill, we went to the BCC hotel to check it. As we have 5 members in our family, we got an apartment. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, a living room and a small kitchen. It also has a nice view of the hotel's swimming pool. 
After putting our bags, we met the others at the lobby to take the bus to our dinner location. Our tour guide told us to try eating using our hands. Even though not all tried, those who tried said it was a new experience and it was interesting as we had a new experience
After dinner, we took the bus back to the hotel. My mum and I decided to explore around the hotel as there was a shopping center nearby. We decided to explore their Supermarket. We bought cup noodles and drinks. After that we went back to the hotel to rest.   

On the second day, we woke up early to go eat breakfast. Breakfast was okay as it had what I wanted for breakfast. After breakfast, we get free time to ourselves. Some went for a massage session, while my family went for a swim. Even thought I did not swim because I wanted to catch up on my sleep. The previous few week have caused me to be sleep deprived and those few extra hours was good medicine for my body! Still, I managed to spent some time by the pool with my family and snap a few pictures. 


After that we packed up and got ready to check out. After checking out, we took the bus and went for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The food was okay but the dishes were all mainly egg related. After lunch, we went to a few more outlets before going to our last stop, Mega mall. During the bus ride, we played a game called 'What am I?'. We got the whole bus to participate and we had a lot of fun. After reaching Mega mall, we went to shop. After walking for a while, we went to A&W to eat. The root beer float and ice cream waffle was delicious. Also the donuts are cheap and nice. I also got to drink Starbucks at a cheap price. So worth it! After that we took the bus to the ferry terminal to take a ferry back to SG. On the ferry, we continued to play the game to keep our mind off our motion sickness. After reaching SG, we took a bus back to YCSS. 

It was a fun and memorable trip! I'm so looking forward to the next trip!

Friday was a marking day, so no school! I managed to meet up with my bro, Austin, for some catching up. We had lunch at MOF @ Jurong Point. We both ate ramen and had cranberry drinks, His was peach, mine was strawberry. It was delicious and I really enjoyed my day out with him.

It's our Last General Meeting!! I hate to admit but I really enjoyed most of my time being in student council. It has changed my life by helping me improved and groom myself into a better leader. For the last GM, the EXCOs had done up a power point slide. It slide has a Sec 4 SC and a character they represent. Sorry for choosing unglam or funny pictures, but it was all i could find on Facebook! XP Love you guys! Thanks for everything!

Since Mother Tongue 'O' level is coming, our school has decided that drilling us with Chinese was a good idea... So from 8 in the morning till 2 in the afternoon, it was all Chinese. Actually wanted to blog during this period but the amount of Chinese work we done was enough to keep me away from the computer.
But it was actually because of all the Chinese work we had to do that brought me to the FRISBEE GANG! Wait, scratch that, the FRISBEE FAMILY! From the second week's onward, I played with my bros and managed to get some exercise. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed myself. I even learnt some new tricks that NEEDS practice, but still I'm still glad I joined them.

28/05 & 29/05
This day was not a happy day. We had our usual Frisbee game and I left early. Mr Poh Leong decided to catch a Frisbee and landed quite badly on his back. An ambulance came and whisked him away to NUH. I heard the news from Hidayah at night and was shocked. However, the next day after school, the Frisbee Family decided to visit him! We took the train there and bought a helium balloon for him with a card filled with messages. We hoped to company him and we were glad to see that he was smiling. 
GET WELL SOON MR POH PANDA! So that we can resume our match with the fam! :)

In the morning, I went to school to study and see my scouts. Studied with Ke Ming and then played a bit of Frisbee with Chi Chi's Frisbee and basketball. After that, I ate lunch and get ready to go find Poh Leong. I went there and talked to him. Then I came back with Vingene and Zhi Hao. I'm very happy that I have such caring friends I called my family. Love you bros! Thanks for letting me have a chance to feel this way even though you all still bully me no matter what age you are. -_-lll

Friends? What's that?

Sometimes having friends is not necessary a blessing,
having friends can be a burden.
Without establishing feelings with people around you,
you would not need to feel hurt or pain. 
Every relationship has its ups and downs.
After a set back,
some might come out stronger,
some might just sit in the dark,
waiting for people they trust to help,
which will never come. 
You might think it's over once you step out of drowning,
but a new wave will just rush back onto the shore.
A never ending cycle.
Many treat this like a game,
where pawns are discarded after the game ends.
But to some, they treat it like their life.
A lifeline that gave them hope, hope of survival.
I held onto that line for too long, 
thinking to myself as I fell,
I'm sick of feeling like I'm my only friend.
But what can I do?
Since I'm really am my only friend.

Introduction

Hey! I;m Shermeen and I'm 16 this year. This is my first time blogging and I'm feeling kind of happy and nervous at the same time. I have never thought of blogging but after reading some famous bloggers' blog, I decide to try it out. I will be mostly talking about my day or some things I find interesting. Actually this blog is gonna be something like my diary where i write down things so that I can reflect and think about in the future.  
A little intro on myself. I'm a happy 16 year old girl that study and live in Singapore. I'm an all rounder when it comes to music. I listen to Chinese, K-Pop, J-Pop and English songs. My CCA is Scouts and I am serving the school as a student Councillor (the one that books people XD). I enjoy watching dramas, variety shows and anime when I'm free. I like reading books and manga. Currently reading 'The mortal Instruments' series by Cassandra Clare. I like sports. I play Frisbee, badminton and I like to jog. I do abs and legs workout too (just started actually, so no results yet but working on it :D).  
I enjoy going to school to chat with my friends, definitely do not like studying. Hahaha. There are tons of problems in school but all i tell myself is to just enjoy and everything will be okie so as long I am doing the right thing. So come at me problems and i will just swat them of. Because I know I still have friends that are willing to back me up when i need help. So school is enjoyable with them around.
Loves,Quackie ^^
P.s. My animal is a duck and my best friend is a cat. I had it since sec 1 and i seriously can't remember how we got the animals but it stuck till now. So my nicknames are duckie or quackie. XD
