A small town by the sea. Five year-old Sosuke lives high on a cliff overlooking the Inland Sea. One morning, while playing on the rocky beach below his house, he discovers a goldfish named Ponyo, her head stuck fast in a jam jar. Sosuke rescues her and keeps her in a green plastic pail. Ponyo is fascinated by Sosuke. Sosuke feels the same about Ponyo. He tells her, Dont worry, Ill protect you and take care of you. But Ponyos father Fujimoto once human, now a sorcerer who lives deep under the sea forces her to return with him to the ocean depths. I want to be human! Ponyo declares, and determined to become a little girl and make her way back to Sosuke, Ponyo escapes. But before she does, she empties the Water of Life, Fujimotos precious store of magical elixir, into the ocean. The sea waters rise. Ponyos sisters are transformed into enormous fish-shaped tidal waves that climb as high as Sosukes house on the cliff. The chaos of the ocean world envelops Sosukes little town and it sinks beneath the waves. A little girl and a little boy. Love and responsibility. The sea and life itself. In an age of nervous anxiety and uncertainty, PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA is Hayao Miyazakis unreserved depiction of the story of a mother and her child. Okay,went to watch Ponyo in the morning..not really morning, nearing noon already..it was great! I especially like Ponyo as a fish..(or would i rather say mermaid??) its so cute! Ponyo with chicken-liked hands and feet looks yucky, as well as her with human arms and legs..I liked the part where at first Ponyo's head was stucked in a bottle but after her wriggling and turning, instead,her whole body was stucked! Anyway, below are pictures we took today.. Taken at Din Tai Fung..their xiao long bao are nice, if you have tasted it before...and i just found out tat their fried rice is also thumbs up! Cake decorated today for Kemmy ( todays her actual birthday)..tat's her *lovely* face..haha..after tis picture was taken, Rey added a couple of dots ( which represents pimples, which Kemmy do not have now, just one of his own creativity ) under her mouth.. Waiting impatiently to go into the theatre..so took some pictures to be less impatient! Cake decorated yesterday for Misa ( my mum ) and Kemmy..ate at a restraunt we ate our late dinner.. Bye! Will be off to grandma's in the morning to night! All relatives will be there...hopefully the hong baos will come pilling on me! |

im tired..eyelids are weighing a ton! Anyway, just came back from late night shopping at Jurong Point. Went there at about 8 pm to do some shopping for clothings and about 11 plus, went to Ntuc xtra which is opened for 24 hours daily, rain or shine..today is Kemmy's birthday! We decorated a cake for her and my mum ( cos my mum's birthday is on 26 Jan which is pretty near!) Of course other than that small over-decorated cake by me and rey, we planned to buy another cake from Secret Recipe (maybe).. its 1.40 am now..mum's pushing me to bed! Goodbye..gonna watch Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea at 11am with rey and doreen (one of kemmy's friend) |

Camp Day 1 ( 19th Jan 2009 ) First day of the 3 days 2 nights camp..came with a really big bag. The reason why i got such a bulky bag is tat i didnt compress my clothes or whatsoever into ziplog bags. It was awkward tugging such a big bag into the courtyard...imagine everyone taking small bags and the only one with such a big bag. Anyway, after the morning assembly, when all the P1s and P2s cleared out from the hall, we went to the hall for attendence taking, getting to know our coaches and briefing. We broke into 2 groups with 1 coach in each group and among the group, we had to introduce ourselves to our coach and senior. from NYGH. We also had to think of a group name, cheer and flag. We had much suggestions but the boys disagree with it..some of those are sentosa, esplanade, suntec, bugis and ... after lots of suggestions, Jerome, out from nowhere suggested ERP ( every road pay if you look on the funny side of it ). It was great wasn't it? Thats was only the starting of it..we were given some markers and piece of paper. We drew an ERP machine with the fares on it and we also signed our names on it. Lastly, we made a group cheer! We used the tune of the barney song ( once my favourite when i was really young.. ). And it goes like this... ERP , ERP, We all love ERP Because we can take all their money So we can buy KFC! Similarly, it was suggested by Jerome too! After lunch, we headed to East Coast Park for rocket race. When we arrived there, we were given - paper clip - thick rubber band - some white tubes - plastic ball We brainstormed together on how to make the rocket. In the end, we found out tat our ball could launch further by twisting the rubber band before connecting to the rocket. After some practising, we began the competition on a pavement. Everyone crowd around. Basically, the aim to win the competition is to launch the furthest ball using our own rocket. We came in third ( or fourth maybe ). It was quite far! One of the furthest launch we've ever launched. We headed back to school for our shower..We had to shower using a hose in the boys toilet which is in the old campus! Yucks! We had to use our bare hands to take the hose from the squatting toilet cos the boys threw it in after bathing...The bath was eerie and pretty much scary! I was scared..cos of the walls and everything..and most importantly, the water was freezing! Whoosh..but after a while, i got used to it.. After tat, we had dinner. We had a talk on ten effective strategies. Pretty useful! But i was dozing off.. After tat, it was time to have a good night's sleep! The girls from 6A and index 1-7 girls from our class went to 6k 's classroom which is at 6 th floor..After several times of pulling elizabeth's pillow away from her for fun, i managed to drift to my lala land.. Camp Day 2 ( 20th Jan 2009 ) Woke up as early as 5.30 in the cold morning..i kept falling asleep after being woken up by everyone..i am not that used to waking up so early because on school days, i usually wake up around 6.45.. i washed up, changed my clothes and went to the hall waiting for everyone to assemble before going to the canteen for our breakfast. We did flag-raising although it wasn't purely a school day. We boarded the bus to sentosa. When we reached there, our coach gave us each a sentosa map and told us the objective of the game and explained the tasks to us.. eg. - finding an indian lady and asking her to teach us an indian dance - finding a spanish man and getting his signature - greeting a japanese wearing a hat using japanese language - doing a yoga pose for 2 mins - .... ( many more! ) We have to solve the tasks using the free shuttle buses ( red line, yellow line and blue line ) which pick us to all parts of sentosa. We also get 10 points for going each station which are numbered accordingly. Lets elaborate on the task.. - found the indian lady near the information counter only when we were getting ready to assemble. We merely did 4 actions..hahas..she kept insisting tat she don't know how to dance at all. Thanks to her, we got 40 points! - i saw a Caucasian strolling and i thought he might be a spanish. So we rushed to him and he happens to be a Spanish! He asked me : " Do i sign english?" I thought he was trying to say if he should sign his name in english. Guess what, he signed the word 'english' ! haha..but after telling him to sign his name instead, we finally got 90 points! - did a yoga pose and stayed in the same position for 2 mins. We counted slowly at first but nearing the end, we counted faster and faster! It was merely holding up our right leg... - approaching a male foreigner and asking him to follow us and repeat " Selamat Datang " which is " Welcome to Singapore! " when translated to english. At first, he said he was rushing to get on the bus. But after Ivan's persistent persuading, he finally stopped and repeated. ( many more... cannot really remember all..) We boarded the bus which headed back to school. We had "Cultra" We did malay and indian dance. After that, we took a shower..similarly, we took our shower in the old campus again. We had campfire. It all came to life when Mdm Heng held the torch and lighting up some woods on a big metal plate. Then, it was time for the chicken dance! We all did it though, some unwillingly..but not me! It was followed by limbo! The finalist was a boy from 6J. At night, the courtyard was breezy...nice feeling.. Afterwards, we headed up to the hall again. We were taking a colour paper each, writing our own names on it and finally passing it around for classmates to write comments about you. But i don't think some comments were purely from themselves... Went for supper and then back to class! All the girls from our class slept in 6B with Ms Lim. I fell asleep after a while. Boy, i was dead tired! Camp Day 3 ( 21st Jan 2009 ) I woke up after being woken up by julia who was sleeping beside me..she said i slept very peacefully. I had a better sleep then the day before. We had chicken porridge for breakfast. We were supposed to go Labrador Park but due to certain changes, we stayed in school. We did some team building games. We were given 2 pieces of vanguard sheet, glue, masking tape, markers ( with no ink left ) and rafia strings...to make a vehicle tat can fit 6 people. We did the race in the basketball court and our group came in first when competiting with SIA. Went back to the hall for lunch. We had a picture session showing us all the pictures of us during these few days. After that was prize presentation, debrief and evaluation, and then BREAK CAMP!! ( gosh! The windows are cracking! ) |
