Bintulu Convention 2008

Hey!Finally there's someone named J to rush me update.Don't know who's that J though.

p/s:Don't so perasan think that I update for you yea.JK!

This These are the reasons I kept this post delayed till today:

1.Pre-semester exams(actually I din't even studied for it)

2.RC convention at Bintulu (the very reason I'm gonna update NOW)

3.Modem got thunder stroke =.= for the third time! (And my technician just delivered my new modem like half and hour ago)

11-15 August
Exams!!!

15 August
Reached Kuching High at 7pm.I actually reached around 6 something but someone insisted I eat first before carry on my 12 hours bus trip.=)

Evon reached after quite a while I chatted with Catherine.Catherine cut her hair!!!She said she even cut it on that afternoon haha!And omigosh I thought who was that auntie smiling so sweetly at me when I was still in the car.LOL!

More and more people reached.Matang Jaya's 2 representives riding the same bus too.With altogether 27 Highians,2 teacher in charge,1 kid(one of the teacher in charge's grand-daughther),2 Matang Jayas and finally,2 Greenians.And of course the driver.Luckilly that night we don't have extra 'best-friend' as it was '7-month-half'.HAHA!

I couldn't remember anything much but I remember clearly in mind that the bus is freaking freezing!And everything else is ok.

Stopped by Sibu around 2 and continue on around 3.Slept all the way from Sibu to Bintulu.

16 August
Woke up at 6 after I fall asleep at 3.Saw Bintulu's shophouses when I opened my eyes.It's too early and the market weren't operating yet so the driver drove around to look for breakfast.Me,Evon,Catherine and Fiona had roti canai.Yes,the same Fiona that went to both TUNAZ and TUTTI camp with me!=) And special thanks to Catherine for the treat!So paiseh I ordered 2 roti canai kosong and iced milo and to find out she don't wanna accept my money when I paid her!

Went to a beach which I don't know what's the name.The Highians were practicing their performance they gonna perform that night.Which is singing 'You Raise Me Up'.They have been singing that since the nigth before.While the 2 Matang Jaya girls emoing at the bench far far away left me and Evon making fun of some people in the 'pondok'.The Matang Jaya people came to us after a while.And we started social.They are Siaw Hui and Poh Ling.Both are ex-leaders of Matang Jaya and they had their AGM right coincidently the day before that.See,how kepo I'm.

Early morning fresh breeze

4 of us went on the bus earlier to wait for the Highians to finish practicing.Reached The Regency Hotel around 10 something.Saw Jacky and the St.Jo gang over there registering themselves.Went to queeu up to register because the queeu was getting longer and longer.Me,Evon and Poh Ling shared the same room.After done with purchasing the tee,collecting our pocket files and obtaining the key,we all rushed back to our room-room 402.

Washed my face,showered,changed into convention tee that I just bought and head off to the ball room to attend the talk.Called Eileen to ask bout the stuff she asked me to help pass to Tian Ji and guess what she awaked me from my sleepyness and tiredness by telling me Julie got biten by leeches.=.= Evon was 'interviewing' me with all sorts of detailed questions bout the leeches thinggy.

After the first talked started around 2,it ended around 1 hour later.Then had tea break.Then another session where we have to build something useful from the materials given.Examples of materials are water glue,paper box,papers,cellophone tape,penknife and more.I was in group 13,with Evon and all the rest are Sibu people.

Group 13.We got 1st for the 'material-reusing competition'

Showered.Dressed up in full uniform.It's a formal so yea.Took bus.Reached Park City Hotel.Nice sunset-beach view there.Snapped a picture of the beach in the bus.

=)

Went into a hall where it looks kinda grand.Backdrop...nothing much to comment.LOL.Waited for VIPS,with their arrival,their speeches and all that.Then,FOOD and performances and awards giving.

Backdrop

Performances

Represented Eileen for her prized.MMS-ed her the picture of her award but too bad she was sleeping due to the tiredness after jungle trekking earlier that morning.

After that,more food,performances,music,glitters(the pull out type,non sticky).

The prize and 'glitters'

11 somthing,went back to room 402 and sleep!

17 August
Alarm alert rang at 5.Woke up,switched off air-cond,woke Evon up.Both went back to sleep cause too freezing.Shaken up by Evon and heard a voice telling me it's 6.30!Where we supposed to be having breakfast!

Wash face,brushed teeth,changed into RC tee and waited for Evon to bath and went to eat breakfast down there.Apparently nothing much left when you're late for FOOD.Just drank coffee and went down to lobby to wait for shuttle bus.Hopped on bus and head to the place where we have to plant trees.That's our activity of the day.Tree planting=)

Tree planting!

The bus briver drove us around Bintulu and went to the 'largest' shopping 'mall' called New World Suites which is not really big but has a few shops we have in tHe spring such as soxworld,guardian,marry brown,the body shop,baleno,popular,cindy etc.

In front of New World Suites

Spotted baby milo tees in a shop called Remix and I stayed there for the rest of half an hour.Catherine saw I was shopping alone so she called me and ask me go down.Seriously I prefer to shop alone when I have time limits.So I had my breakfast with her.Ordered Marry Brown.The burger is OKAY...but the chickens Catherine ordered doesn't look very fascinating to me.

*pause*

I'm really tired of typing now.Suddenly I started to sneeze and having running nose.So,I'll just rush through everything.

*unpause*

After shopping we went back to Hotel to clean up ourselves and pack and checked out and ready to go home.

Bus started to depart at 2 in the afternoon.Like when I came,I slept all the way from Bintulu to Sibu.=.= Reached Sibu at 6.Ate our dinner there.Me,Fiona,Catherine,Kelly,JSs and teacher in charge went to KFC.=) The rest went somewhere else.From Sibu back to Kuching,I hardly sleep.I think I didn't sleep at all.Haha.
