A Better Title

Dear Diary,

I went to Sentosa again with my Indonesian friends today. Well, actually at first I didn’t know some them very well and they didn’t know me well either. But after visiting the Underwater World, playing frisbee and volleyball, dunking each other into the sea, splashing water towards each other, and watching the Musical Fountain, we finally knew each other slightly better than when the day started.

(Until now I still find it difficult to remember the names of the guys. I’m not without my own excuse. There were only two girls, of which I already knew one, and nine guys, of which I only knew three)

The trip would have been so much more fun had it not been a rainy day. Oh, pardon me. Like everyone says, it did not rain. It poured.

(Which, by the way, makes me wonder: Is it called a poury day then?)

So our first stop was the Underwater World, which I’ve gone to twice already. Some wanted to go to the Dolphin Lagoon since its last show was going soon. Luckily we noticed in the guidebook that the show may be cancelled in the event of rain. There was nothing new in Underwater World since my last visit, to my dismay. Oh, we took quite a lot of photos, which I can’t post yet since they were taken with my film SLR. I’ll get them scanned and I’ll post them. (Probably in a private place for the viewing of only those concerned)

Oh, I got this very cute blue whale soft toy for Sis:

A quick bite of hot dog, burgers and pop corn, and off the two young ladies and ten fine gentlemen went to the next stop, Palawan Beach, where we spent the next around one-to-two hours (can’t remember the exact duration. I only remembered it was dark when we left) playing frisbee and volleyball, dunking each other, and splashing water towards each other. We were completely drenched by the time we left the place. Nevertheless, it was really fun, especially when we dunked those we didn’t manage to dunk during their birthday *coughherrycough*.

Our last stop of the day was the Musical Fountain. Of course, we only went here after properly showering and redressing ourselves.

Musical Fountain is bloody cool!. Okay, I’m ashamed to say this only after four years of being here… but today was really the first time I went to the Musical Fountain for the show, and it was really awesome! I liked the coordination between the fountains and the lasers and the fireballs and even the Merlion! If you happen to visit Sentosa, this is a show you won’t want to miss!

The trip ended with us taking more photos, going the wrong direction when walking towards the departure point, and finally, swimming across the strait going to HarbourFront on the Sentosa shuttle bus.

And thus, ended the trip of the day. The trip that I won’t forget in the near future…

(Geez… This is an abrupt ending of the story. I can’t think of a better way to end the story. I need to sleep soon, so I shall leave it abrupt.)

Oh yeah, if you happen to need to contact me when I’m in Indonesia, you can always email me. Otherwise, if you know my Indonesian mobile number (which you can obtain by either leaving a comment or dropping an email asking such) you can also message me. See you all in a month’s time!

Sandy,

Dear Diary,

6.20 AM.

Birds are (irritatingly) singing.

Exams was over on 18^th.

Supposed to do a professional-looking art piece themed “Teenage Expression”.

Can’t think of anything original.

Not sleeping yet.

Just played “18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to The Metal”.

Going to sleep soon.

Server has been screwy.

Couldn’t log on to blog.

Couldn’t leave comments.

Now everything’s working properly.

Hopefully.

Going back in three days.

Eleven hours.

And forty minutes.

Emirates.

EK 348.

Boeing 777-200.

Hopefully it’s a good airline.

With a good pilot.

And a good copilot.

And good air traffic controllers.

And good passengers.

And good food.

Food.

Just ate the last piece of chocolate bread.

And ran out of food again.

Ack.

In the middle of packing up.

And tidying up my room.

Paused until tomorrow.

Games are so much more exciting.

Although supposed to do the art piece.

6.30 AM.

Got to sleep.

Bye-bye.

Dear Diary,

Okay, something weird just happened. My server just rolled back to what it was a few days ago. This meant that the latest entry I keyed in this morning was lost as well as any comments since about 6 November. The Gmail entry and comments were restored from my own backup.

Not only that, the database was a little bit screwed. Somehow my database username disappeared. This means that I couldn’t access my database. To put it in an illustration, I couldn’t add any new entries, nor can anyone post any comments. I couldn’t even log in to my blog control panel! The only way to resolve the problem was to force a creation of a new user with the same username and password to connect to the database. Very crude, but it worked.

Oh yeah, thanks to bro for telling me this.

BTW, if any of you see this sort of thing happening in the future, please drop me a message using MSN or SMS. Thanks.
Exam was pretty alright.

So far I’ve finished Fundamentals of Communication Studies (which I take as a General Elective at the moment. I will take a Minor in Communication Studies in the future if I can obtain a B in this module), Economics (which turned out to be quite fun to do), and, today, Chemistry (which is pretty tough, although I’m pretty sure as well I’ll pass). I’m pretty sure I’ll pass all the three subjects, although I’m not going to say anything about getting good grades on any of those.

I’m now left with Physics, which is on Saturday, and Effective Communication next week. Only two more papers left! Yay! In fact, I’m only left with one tough subject, which is Physics. I think I can bullshit my way through for Effective Communication. Anyway it’s an open book exam, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Alright um… I shall stop blogging now. I couldn’t sleep last night (which was why I wrote an entry this morning) so my brain is pretty dead now.

Till next time.

*Poof!*
