Ok, back from the excursion, just took my shower and now it's time to blog about it ^^

I feel like typing out a lot for the excursion, so it's gonna be a really long post :D
Sorry this post came really late, but I was really lazy to type the whole thing out hahas.
Anyways, enjoy :D

Tuesday, 17th of March
First we all gathered in the auditorium according to our groups. My group was:
Mark (Leader)
Sung Jun (Vice-Leader)
Kevin
Me
Ewen
Nicholas Chong
Max
Roger

Our teacher in charge of the group was Mr Dwight hahas :D
We all found the group to be really nice :P
Gathered in the lobby, and while waiting for a bus, saw a white taxi stopping. Then I saw Mr Tan inside :D He was with Emily I think, bringing her to school. We all just chatted with him for awhile. Then the bus came. Group 1 gets on first, yay :D

Me, Ewen, Nic took the back seats. In front of us was Mark, Sung Jun, Kevin, Max, Roger and Vince. Our group was all at the back. Bus ride took 4 hours, with 1 stop on the way. Mostly played PSP with Ewen and Nic. Randomly walked around the bus to see what other people were doing. Anna was playing her Loco Roco...then Mark and Vince were plaing soccer on the PSP, Max and Roger with their card magic, Sung Jun reading a book, Kevin watching Mark and Vince, Christy and co. all the way up front. Oh Brenna was using the Christmas present I gave her hahas. Apparently she gets motion sickness so I think she was asleep the most of the time. Ke You was playing Gi Jun's PSP, Gi Jun taking a nap, Sarah and Luwee sitting together, Hilary with Kaka I think. During the stop all of us went down to buy drinks and snacks hahas. Pretty fun and interesting to see everyone travelling in small little groups. After that back on the bus, Nic was taking a nap I think. Then me and Ewen randomly playing around with PSP. Not sure of the rest. Finally when we reached the hotel, alot of people rushed into the toilets in the lobby area hahas. When we were all done we got our room keys, and we all realized all our rooms are so near each other ^^

Guys were all on the 8th floor, girls all on the 9th floor. Me and Mark's room was 804, 803 was Gi Jun, Wei Cheng and Ke You, 805 was Max and Roger. 806 was where Ewen and Nic was. 802 was Mr Dwight and Shen Ling teacher. 807 was Sung Jun and Kevin, 809 was Harry and Yao Sheng I think. 808 should've been Luwee and Vince. 904 was Christy and Amy, 903 was Anna, Brenna and Sarah, 905 was Amanda and Joxin. 906 was Theresa and Elizabeth, 907 Kaka and Hilary,908 Joo Yeon and Stella I think. 909 Rebecca and Hansika, 910 is Hedy and Jess. That's the list.

After we all put our luggage into the rooms, we gathered in the 3rd floor for lunch. Lunch that day was okay, they had 1 dish which was pork chop I think. Can't remember much of it. My table was mostly my group people. Most memorable thing was: Nic Chong making a cocktail with Coke, Sprite, tomato, and watermelon. He said it tasted like orange juice ._. Then me and Mark proceeded to raid all remaning Coke and Sprtie from all tables hahas. We had like 5+ big bottles of soft drinks in our room.

After that we went hiking at the daci sceinic mountain or smt. There was this slope before we reached the mountain. And to get past the slope, all the guys had to get off the bus for awhile, then let the bus cross the slope, and go back up. We thought we were gonna start hiking from there, then suddenly they tell us to get on the bus. Ewen was screamin, "5m hike omg so tiring." Same thing happened coming back down. The mountain was roughly 500m tall I think. But the trek there was maybe 1km+? D: And it was up stairs T.T Very tiring. Mr Dwight gave up halfway and went back down to the bus. The rest of us made it all the way to the top. Me, Nic, Vince, Max went into the temple to pray. Vince and me were Buddhists, but Max and Nic were free-thinkers, and they wanted to pray. After praying, there's this, fortune thing. Where you pick one, and then some monks will help you decipher the fortune you chose. After that climbed back down. I reached the second?! I passed by so many people on the way down. Then I think Wei Cheng had a stomach ache or cramp halfway while climbing down the mountain. Poor guy, Sung Jun and Kevin were helping him down I think. Then I think a few people were playing tag or mini-soccer outside the bus before we left.

Dinner, back at the same hotel. The beef steak we had, was probably the best dish we had the whole excursion. People didn't really eat much, so alot of food was left over. Once again, me and Mark raided soft drinks. Nic and Ewen took some as well. Then at night was the fun part :D

After me and Mark took a shower, we saw people gathered outside. I think they were dancing or something -_- Then Ke You accidently ppunched his hand onto the ceiling. The wound on his knuckle started bleeding again. Then the rest of us decided to play freeze & melt. So we were running around on the same floor the whole time. Ewen and Nic were the freezers, and it was hard to play cuz the hallways were all on startight path, can easily get cornered by the 2 freezers. It took awhile for the first round to end. Then in the 2nd round, halfway through, the manager or guard guy came and tell us to stop running. Vince just ran past him even though he told him to stop hahas. Then we had to stop the tag for the night, so we went to other people's rooms to play. I think I went to Christy's room that day to play cards. Can't rememebr the first night well. But the indoors tag was still awesome :D

Went back to my room at around 11 30pm, cuz we had a curfew of 12 00pm. Then me, max, roger, mark, christy and amy were talking on the balcony of our rooms. Our rooms was probably the only ones with a balcony. We were talking after the first room check. Then Max was planning to go to Christy's room after the next room check to play. The next room check never came, there would only be 1 room check a night :D Roger came to our room for awhile, then went with Max I think. Mark and I got sleepy so we went to sleep at around 1 30am xD

Wednesday, 18th of March
Woke up at 7 30am. Mark woke up 10 minutes earlier than me. Showered, got changed, etc, then went down for breakfast. Mark told me Vincent called him at 7 00am saying that there was no one at the breakfast place, hahas. You were too early Vince. Vince came to our room afterwards. Went down for breakfast with Ewen, Nic, Vince and Luwee. They were there before us, so they left earlier. Breakfast wasn't that bad, they had eggs, bread, cakes, pastries, popcorn chicken, spring rolls, etc etc. Vince, Luwee, Ewen and Nic were all drinking coffee. THey said the milk was warm and the juice was tasteless so they didnt like it. I think i forgot to drink anything that breakfast ._. Went back to our rooms for awhile before going down to meet at the lobby. We were playing Wii for abit at Ewen's room hahas. I think there were people gathered in Max's room playing cards. Mark played with them I think. Then we all went to gather at the lobby.

At the lobby, we had to give all our keys to the teacher in case we lost them. Then we went on the bus, to the Nanwu Forest park or something :o Dont remember what happened on the bus. When we reached, I think Sarah, Katrina, Hilary, Rebecca, and Hansika didn't go trekking cuz they didnt want to. Apparently Sarah has a medical condition regarding leg fatigue. So the rest of us continued up the trek. Me, Ewen, and Nic were Mr Dwight's "escorts'. We follow him whereever he goes, so if he stops, we stop :D Nic and Ewen were holding sticks. They were like playing a game or something ._. Ewen was killing lvl 1 flowers for exp lol. He was whacking every flower he saw with the branch. When we were walking, all the while to our left there was a stream. The stream looked so relaxing :D Halfway Mr Dwight got tired, so he was resting at this resting point. So me, Ewen and Nic also stopped. Then we were randomly walking around in the area nearby. We were playing with really large branches, using them to whack bushes and stuff. Then we were throwing stones at trees trying to make them fall down. Then I found 2 really large logs, small enough to hold. Ewen and Nic were holding them as battering rams or something hahas. When the rest came back, Mr Dwight was taking some funny photos hahas. I tihnk someone should've posted them on facebook. Then we went to another path in the same place. They asked whoever didn't wanna go could stay at this resthouse. Amanda, Amy, Anna, Gi Jun, Me, Ewen, Nic, Dwight, Max, Roger, and some of the guides stayed at teh rest house. We were so bored we were playing baseball with the logs. Then we were trying to make the log stand using rocks as support. Weeee fun times :D Then Nic was using them to break theses roof tiles :D Then we were all doing it ^^ Halfway making rock support for the second log, I think Amy and Anna joined in :D Then the rest came back, and we walked back down to the bus. Then, we went to lunch. The same place we were learning to make dumplings. I made one :D Not sure who ate it ._. Then, ehh, the girls were singing random national anthems. It was so.fucking.annoying. Goddamnit. Especially when they were singing the SSIS school song. Bloody noisy. After that, went to this shopping square or something near our hotel. It had KFC :D THen some other brands of shops. THe best part here was: Nic buying a shitloads of mashed potato from the same counter in KFC, from the same person. He was buying like, 5 mashed potatoes. Go away, come back 2 minutes later, buy 1 mashed potato. Another 3 minutes, buy 4 mashed potatoes. Another 1 minute, buy 2 mashed potatoes. So cool :D The counter's person face was so funny everytime he saw Nic Chong coming ^^ Then we went underground, and the first thing we saw, was this toy store. Then we bought a souvenir for Mr Ng: A Pico pico hammer :D Those hammers that make a squeek sound when you smash it ^^ I want to see Mr Ng use that :D

Then ate dinner. Mark, Amanda, Anna, and a few other people busy busy ^^ Going around asking: CHICKEN OR FISH?! COKE OR LEMON TEA?! SPICY OR NONSPICY?! Then...Nic and Ewen were studying Mark's face whenever he was eating, and they laughed everytime they did that. Then Ewen took, the KFC packet for food, with the KFC guy's face on it, put it on Mark's face, then say "Study it now :D". Mark's face was so funny :D Then they made a stick man of the KFC guy's face. With french fries and the packet as a head hahas. Damn I regret not bringing my camera for this trip man >< style="font-weight: bold;">

Thursday, 19th of March
Woke up at 7 00am. Showered, breakfast, went to Nic's room to play abit, gather in lobby, give our cards to Mark. etc etc.

Today we went on...a boat cruise I think. Went to this Lovers Valley thing first. In the beginning there was this board, which was introducing the place. Me, Nic and Ewen were all laughing at the english on the board. It was so epik :D GROUP 1. We crossed this net bridge suspended over water. When we were all at the middle part, the bridge actually touched the water below :D So cool and Mr Dwight was walking with us ^^ JUMP, SHAKE, SHAKEEEEEEEEE. Then we were the first to reach the other end. So we decided to mess around with group 2, which was...Amanda's group. We told Mr Dwight to go and jump on the bridge. He actually did :D So funnnn~~ Then after awhile, me, Nic and Ewen got bored, we went exploring. We found this place, looked liked a wasteland. Then beside it were alot of rocks and a pond. At first we were throwing the rocks in. Then we decided to, roll the friggin huge rocks in. The first one we roleld in, we didnt expect the splash to be that big. When it did splash, it splashed on Nic and in Ewen's mouth hahas. Then we continued doing it for about another 5 rocks. So funn :D

After that we went back to the beginning to wait for the boat. While waiting, I found another long branch for Ewen again :D This one was more fine than the ones before, and was really long. Then Mr Dwight had this sword he bought hahas. Then Mr Dwight was telling Ewen, Ewen can be Gandalf, and Mr Dwight can be the kind from Lord of the Rings. rofl. The boat came, went on it, went to the Lucky Island next. This is where Christy's subjects live, Christy is the monkey king btw. Okay, freaky thing happened, we landed on Lucky Island, first thing we saw that caught our attention...was that there was a satellite dish there LOL. Ewen and Nic were laughing at it, the monkeys needed satelite TV to entertain themselves. But that wasn't the freaky thing. The freaky thing was that we saw a friggin black cat. And everyone was surrounding it, then it started posing for pictures? wtf?

Continued walking, then we saw peacocks. AMY IS SCARED OF BIRDS. She is scared of how their legs and claws look like, and she is scared of their feathers? I wonder if she'll get sacred when a peacock opens it's tail, then goes "I am the thousand eyed bird. Fear me, Amy.":DDDD Then we continued on, saw monkeys ._. Their asses were red, not surprising, but it looked as if their ass was scraped because they were climbing trees. Then got the monkey performance. Nic didn't like the monkeys being put on show like that, and the show wasn't really that good...but the monkey's were abused that bad...so nothing we can do about it. Then people were buying peanuts to feed the monkeys. There was this monkey that jumped at Sung Jun when he tried to feed it D: That monkey was jumping away from everyone who tried to gave it a peanut, it looked like it was blind >< style="font-weight: bold;">

Friday, 20th of March
Woke up in the morning with Mark knocking on the door. Since i stole the key from him while he was asleep, he couldn't come into the room. Then he went to Ewen's room to get the key i swapped with them. When he came in he was pissed hahas. Then I went to take a shower first. After I was done, Mark's turn. Then we had to pack and stuff. After packing went down for breakfast. No space to sit?! In the end found one and ate some breakfast. Damn I miss the popcorn chicken every morning D:

Gathered at lobby, then went on the bus. On the bus we couldn't leave immediately cause got to sort out stuff like people losing the hotel stuff, etc. Then after that, we left for the boat cruise. When we were gonna go on the boat, we realize we're going to be sitting on the same boat with other people, but we get the upper floor of the boat. Majority of people were playing cards or mahjong. Harry went to borrow the mahjon set, but there wasn't an automatic mahjong table or anything, so manually line the tiles up hahas. Had 2 stops in total. First stop no one really went to see. Second stop we all hiked again to see a waterfall. Just randomly talking with people while hiking. Reached the top, nothing much to really see. I actually took a photo with some of the people here. I forgot to bring my camera this whole trip T,T

Had lunch on the ship. It was so-so. Most interesting part was when Ewen was dissecting a chicken head with a lollipop stick. He found the eyeballs, the skull, the brain, the lower jaw, oesaphagus, etc etc. In the he shoved the lollipop stick up the chicken head's neck and went around showing it hahas. Then when he got bored, he took his chopsticks and started mashing the head. It turned into some pile of mesh, couldnt' even tell what it was. Hahas. I really should've brought my camera.

Then it was time to go back to where to boarded the ship. On the way back more mahjong and cheat. Mr Dwight was playing cheat with some people hahas. He was playing with Max, Amy and Yao Sheng. Ewen, Nic, Mark and me were playing cheat also. Ewen was sitting beside Mr Dwight, so he was helping Max see whether or not Mr Dwight was cheating. Then he purposely told Max Mr Dwight was cheating, even though he wasn't. Max called cheat on Mr Dwight. Max failed. Halfway through after I won, I went over there to see. Then I decided to help everyone except Mr Dwight. I was standing behind him seeing his cards, whether or not he was cheating. Then gave signals to the rest. Mr Dwight got pwneddd.

Reach the place, got back the bus, then time to go back to Shanghai. I was sitting near the front since there wasn't much space behind. Behind me was Roger and Max. Then behind them was Christy and Joxin. Beside Christy and Joxin was Amanda and Amy. The 2 of them slept most of the trip back. I slept abit, like an hour or so. Max slept for around 1 hour and a half. Then, after the first pit stop, Ewen and Nic moved to the front. Then they were playing cheat with Christy, and utterly pissed her off hahas. When I woke up from my sleep first thing I saw was Christy screaming over something with Ewen and Nic XD Oh, then while Max was asleep, and that was after Ewen and Nic moved to the front, his head always tilted forward then backward. Then Ewen was eating cheesesticks at the time, then he shoved one up Max's nose. As in, he left it in front of his face, then Max head tilt forward, then it went into his nose. Pwntttt. Then played some more cheat with alot more people at the back, me and Nic were sitting at the stairs. Near Carrefour, Luwee couldn't hold it anymore and had to go down to take a piss. Hahas.

THen we finally reached carrefour, some people left from there, some went to carrefour, some went to the shops nearby. I went to Curryhouse with Nic O, Nic C, Mark, Vince, and Max. Nic O was at carrefour when we reached hahas. Then as we were in there, Theresa, Elizabeth and Sarah walked in. Then followed by Ke You, Brenna, Luwee, Anna, Gi Jun, Rebecca. I went to the toilet, then when I came back, saw Damien. Lulz. That ruined my day. jkjk xD

Finished dinner then went home, reached home, take a nice shower, then on for some dota :D

That about sums up my excursion. I feel sorry for anyone who read this far. Leave on message on cbox saying how long you took to read it.
