Almost screamed into the phone when the person called to inform me about it. Imagine how the winner of Miss Universe must have felt, or even the winner of Singapore Idol! XD Could tell Charlie Brown was ecstatic too cos he was the one who told me to try balloting for it :D
Sentosa yesterday with Elizabeth. My sunburnt arms are tingling and starting to feel itchy...Realised that I haven't been to Sentosa for ages so, many changes made! (My first time taking the Sentosa tram from Harbourfront. Quite noob I know!)
My favourite shot! XD
Anyway, church camp was great although the place was a lil' too secluded, which means no shopping (the nearest mall was 15 mins' drive away) and no late-night suppers. Actually there wasn't a need for supper cos the frequency of our buffet-style meals and the quantity and quality of the spread, ensured that we remain as healthy and prosperous as prized pigs. Sadly, the only form of exercise I got was a 2-hour leisure swim with Wenyi, Norina, Christine,etc...which didn't really help much. Could have gone to the gym like the others but I had limited clothing.
Wanted to be all touristy and explore Fort Siloso and Underwater World but can't bear to part with what little cash I had...I wonder how tourists will rate Sentosa man. Nothing much unless you love the beach, at least until the IRs and the theme parks are up.
Another interesting fact: the hotel had a manual wake-up call service. Usually, when we dial Reception and ask for wake-up call, they'll just set a programmed call for the next morning, but this one actually sends the staff to knock on your door to wake you up! XD
*Doorbell rings at 6 plus in the morning*
Me: (shuffles to the door in my PJs, complete with messy hair and sleepy eyes, opens the door)
Who's that?
Staff: (in a cheery voice) Morning! This is your manual, wake-up call service! :D
Me: =_=
Morning and night services were great, wished I had more energy cos strangely, I kept feeling tired and lethargic throughout the camp even though I didn't do much (I suspect the sudden change in my sleeping habits could be the cause) Nevertheless, it was an insightful experience...
My sister got stopped at Singapore customs on the way home due to her higher-than-usual body temperature. In light of the H1N1 incidents, they have this heat scanner devices at immigration to quarantine anyone who falls in the high-risk level. Could tell my sis was shocked but they released her and gave her the usual advice to lower her temperature.
Missed home a lot though and I'm glad to be back! :D
Ps: Imogen Heap's album "Ellipse" will be out in August...WOOOHOOO! How timely! :D
