cg day: bt timah hill hike

today our cg group went for a hike at bukit timah hill. we took the green route. here's what happened along the way.

group picture #1 - at our secret hidding place (reference to the cave like entrance at the back!)

group picture #2 - somewhat casual. i like the fact they were standing on the stairs!

pit stop! and that means...

group picture #3!

and #4...

and of course, the many bits of nature. including gianormous ants!

i particularly like this picture. the sun reflected rainbows into the picture. (:

we finished our green line jungle trek and headed up the rest of the way by the road. intense discussion as you can see. should we go the fast way (steep flight of steps) or the easy way (the road)? we took the fast way.

making our way to the top. see josiah and daniel w's triumph in the background. haha. (and some random shirtless passer-by...)

Bukit Timah Summit. 163.63m

we made it! (as if its Mt. Everest or something. haha)

jump shots. the many many MANY failed attempts! until...

final successful jump shot! :D this is my favourite shot!

chit chat.

final group picture at the summit!

andrew's favourite comic - cos he says its like a Singaporean thing - chew on it!

chiam trying to be emo. haha.

anyhow, after we went back down, we had a picnic. andrew and i drove there so we had the luxury of space. we brought a gallon of water (in this pink toys'R'us water dispenser. i had iced water and lemon slices), apples and 2 trays of mac and cheese - 1 sausage, 1 beef. the apples and water was in the tupperware cooler bag - so everything was still cold after the hike (i was quite surprised) the mac and cheese was still warm! and we took like 2 hours to leisurely hike. so yea. (: eddison brought basking robbin ice-cream!! he drove all the way to JB just to buy it. lysa baked muffins. jeremy brought drinks. daniel w brought sandwiches. i must say it was a pretty good picnic!

i wasn't very happy that i forgot my camera (which is why the pictures are kinda blur), but i couldn't NOT have any pictures, so i just used my samsung soul. not too shabby if i do say so myself. its got 5 megapixels and i do have a relative amount of control over the settings. so once i got the right setting, the photos weren't too bad. but there was no anti-shake tho. ahwells.

okay. ttfn! i'm tired. nights! (:

hodgepodge of photos!!! :D

yf - cg day at caleb's place. plus we celebrated the birthdays of the july babies! namely lianne and benji. i know this is way waaaaay overdue, but here's the link to the shutterfly album. i've yet to get the rest of the pictures from caleb.fyi, i only realised how intense ryan's love for chocolate cake was that day. he practically ate half the cake on his own!!! *envious of his superb metabolic rate.*

some custom bookmarks (set of 20) and some gorgeous paperchase goodies! (: went on a splurge the other day and got two tin pencil cases. went home and decided i needed to take a picture of the collection of the pencil tins i've had so far. my fav is the first from the left. (:

was inspired by heidi swapp's calendar scrapbook, so i tried one for july. and did up my pr journal file. pictures below!

and andrew and i finally took snapshots of our watches and phones! we hadn't got the same phone since secondary 4. and that was not even planned. and soon after i got it he happened to change it. so it was brief. but this time we got it around the same time. 

okay, a walk down memory lane. met up with mich last thursday for lunch. so as i was thinking of how to post the pictures we took together, i saw these! the neoprints that we took last time and other photos we took in secondary school. so us then...
us now!!! (:

and i've got a new limited edition beijing olympic mascot handphone charms coming up at squiggletown. check there for more details. okay, off to bead now. (:
