Thank God for the weather yesterday! It was our actual GESL event, thank God that the rain only came when we were done with the activities. And it stopped just before we boarded the boat back to the mainland! Woohoo~

It was fun! Besides the miscalculation of timing, but even that was amusing. We'd estimated that the amazing race would take 5 hours. Being in charge of the second last station, Jesslyn and I went to find the rest of the Chek Jawa station masters to play cards and slack around. We thought that we'd only return to our station slightly before the 4th hour or something. Who'd have known that the first team would appear at the Swiss Cottage (the station before ours) in the middle of our slacking session during the 2nd hour! We were totally shocked and had to dash to our station in case the team beat us there, which would have been hilarious wahaha. Samantha's reaction at seeing the teams was really funny. It was like, "Oh." *after a few more seconds* "OH!!!!!" *picks up the flags and dashes to her station* It was just really funny, everyone's shock at the arrival of the team, then rushing around like mad hatters packing up all the rubbish lol! So, from the estimated ending time of 5.15pm, we actually ended at 3 plus hoho. But we stayed till 7 plus before leaving, having a rollercoaster ride on a police van, playing bridge, and getting terrified by dogs in between.

Hmm. It's unbelievable how the Cambodia trip's only 3 days away, how the year is coming to a close, how school is starting soon, how my holidays just flew by like that, how the whole year just zoomed by. I guess, this holiday has been different. Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe I shouldn't sleep so much. Haha.

We don't know the reason but God does.
