super super long post
i'm back from genting!!!!!!!
genting was fun.
there were some good parts and bad parts.
the good part: rest day and free moments in between
bad parts: everything else.especially my hotel room. but more on that later.
1st day:
reached school at 6.30am.
so many people came with a luggage.
we all looked more like we're going off to some far off country rather than malaysia.
forgot what time the bus came but reached first world hotel at 3+
waited for really long in the hotel lobby.
finally checked in at 4+.
my room mate is doreen!!!
went to our room to dump stuff and bathe.
at about 5pm, went to practice.
everyone was all tired out so we didn't practice for long.
went for dinner, then attended opening ceremony.
can't remember that much about it though, i was really tired.
but the singers were nice.
after that, debrief, reflection, then off to bed.
that night, at about 11.30pm(plus or minus) i heard this scraping, sawing or metal trolley being pushed sound from the room next door.
(for your information, my room's a corner room which means there's a room on one side and an empty corridor on the other.)
it was loud and VERY irritating.
i kept thinking the people next door were mad to be moving furniture at this hour.
it was so loud even doreen heard it.
it went on for dunno how long and then i was finally able to sleep.
2nd day:
day of competition.
woke up at 5am to bathe.
had breakfast, then off to practice.
practiced for a while then went back to room to rest.
i didn't sleep but it's okay.
went to lunch then headed back to room to change into the costume aka:night gown.
gatecrash jia min and pueh suan's room to put on make up.(7 people in one tiny room all trying to put on make up. fun right?)
then rushed down to the meeting room.
got ready,practiced,and rest.
then, COMPETITION
er...i guess we did okay?
went to change back, have dinner and practice for friendship concert(i forgot the order)
wait, did we have free time here???i forgot.but i think so.
then debrief, reflection.
after that,we all(rebbecca,wong si min, doreen and me) went to jia min and pueh suan's room to eat cup noodles.
played uno.the game dragged on for more than 1 hour!!!!
luckily i got out first.
then went back to room to sleep.
at 12.25 like that, the noise started again.
this time, besides the usual noise from yesterday,
there was this drilling thumping noise coming from the other side of the room.
the one beside the EMPTY corridor.
if you didn't hear it, you wouldn't understand.
it was really very scary.
like someone/something was trying to get into our room.
it went on for quite some time,
doreen sleeping through the whole thing.
before you ask,
no, i still don't know what made the noise and frankly, i doubt it's construction noise.
i mean, who does construction work at 12+ in the morning in a hotel????
seriously.but it does sound like construction noise.
3rd day:
woke up, bathed, went breakfast.
told jia min they all about it.
no one else heard anything
jia min and pueh suan decided to sleep in our room tonight.
can't remember much but basically practiced, rest, and went to choral workshop.
i think we were grounded today.
oh, we a;so had some "bonding" time.
split up into groups and went on a sort of race to find answers to questions given.
my group was so "together"
we ended up split into 3 parts and couldn't find each other.
after that, went for dinner
then went for the friendship concert.
we sang badly.
but who cares??
debrief, reflection then sleep.
they came to our room to sleep.
at about 1.30am, jia min couldn't breathe properly so i accompanied her back to her room to sleep.
as soon as i entered her room, the atmosphere changed drastically.
i suddenly felt really.....light.
the difference was so glaringly obvious.
compared to my room, which i notice, always has an oppressive and uneasy vibe, jia min's room had a festive air.
4th day:
woke up.
pueh suan was in the room.
she heard the noise.
and get this: it happened shortly after me and jia min left.
in case you haven't noticed,there's some kind of pattern going on here.
the noise is coming at 1 hour intervals.
11+, 12+, then 1+.
probably the next night is 2+?
only this time, she in addition to the other 2 noises,
she said she heard a thumping noise coming from the ceiling.
so yeah, we're freaked out by then.
i decided i really didn't want to stay another night to find out if noise is gonna come from the floor as well.
so, after we came back, doreen and i grabbed our stuff and moved to jia min and pueh suan's room.
at dinner, we complained to the choir teachers and was told to tell the receptionist.
went for the friendship concert.
then, attended closing ceremony.
i slept through all the dance performances(watching dance just makes me sleepy)
deyi got a silver!!!!!!!!!!
i was actually expecting less.
but it's a nice surprise!!!!
after that,debrief, reflection.
complained again and so ms tan and mdm ng agreed to accompany us to complain.(thanks a lot!!!!!)
went to mdm ng's room first to put her stuff.
then headed down.
we talked this receptionist(some guy) for a while.
either he dosen't believe us, or he knows but dosen't wanna say.
so just stayed at jia min's room.
had a nice uninterrupted sleep for once.
what we did that day:
woke up at 5 for a morning walk.
was really nice and cold!!!!
i forgot where we walked to but the view and wind were both awesome.
then we took some quite random photos.
pueh suan's signature pose is the titanic 'you jump, i jump' pose.
after that had breakfast at macdonalds and went back to hotel to take attendance.
went to the outdoor theme park.
went for a few rides then jiamin, pueh suan, doreen and i went to kfc for lunch.
rebbecca and simin went to the hotel for lunch.
met up at kfc and went back to theme park
it started raining and so after playing a few games we went back to play at the arcade.
played a while then went back to theme park to play 2 more rides.
got back to hotel room at 5+ to get ready for closing ceremony( basically i just bathed)
5th day:
woke up at 6+am
changed,packed, then went down for breakfast.
thank goodness we didn't stay in THE room.
then we went up to take our bags to the ballroom to wait for the bus.
set off for singapore at about 9.40am.
luckily i didn't get car sick.
thanks to pueh suan's medicine.
i slept for most of the journey cuz i was really tired.
stopped for lunch, toilet break and to fill up petrol.
then back to school.
had the usual debrief ,reflection,
then HOME SWEET HOME
i have never loved my home more.
my toilet, bed, pillows, bolsters, and most of all, my creepy construction noise free room!!!!!!!!
genting was fun overall,
but, the food was...ugh...edible i guess.
i love my home cooked food!!!!!!!!!!
thanks to jia min and pueh suan for use of their room.
and ms tan and mdm ng for accompanying us to the reception.
i seriously hope the hotel people does something about that room.
i don't want anyone else to be frightened.
it's tower 2, floor 10, room 10820.
so if you go stay there and get that room,
don't go there.
i may write more about the bus trip back to singapore some other time cuz i needa go bathe now.
i spent like 1 hour to type this?
i know it's really long so thanks for reading everything.
but there really is a lot to write about.
i also may post random things about the trip when i remember them.
lastly, sorry (loh) si min couldn't come cuz her grandma died.
talk about bad timing.
you must come if there's a next time okay???
remember: 1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o1o82o don't go there.
no matter how much i try not think it,
it still keeps going through my head:
