VJC Biodiversity Course


SUPER LONG POST AHEAD! About today's bio course ^^


My alarm clock rang at 6am in the morning. Snooze it until around 6.15 before I dragged myself to the bathroom. Its the 1st day of the holidays and yet Im waking up as early as a normal school day. Went out for breakfast and went to grab some snacks before heading off to VJC. hahas I was late. By then Ms Ang, Farah, Xin Ling, Jared, Shariff, Bolor, Gwen was already there. Janice was later than me. (phew, not the latest =p) . Together with 6 other schools, we board the bus and headed to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve(BT). (VJC was only thr drop off and pick up point...)

At BT, we spilt ourselves into 2 groups. Our school plus damai and another school went with this male instructor while the others went with this female instructor. Both the instructors were from Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Reseach. hahas long name. anws our instructor was rather the break wrist type of guy. But not the totally 100% gay but you just know he ain the straight type of guy. Well it was rather interesting, throughout the trail, he taught us many things as I would say his a very observant and educated tour guide cum instructor. We walked on till he spotted this rattan plant. It was full of spikes and he lifted it up to show us that this is how it adapts to prevent animals from attacking....

It was something like that....
Instructor: Look at the sharp torns, it's everywhere.
Instructor: *Ouch* (he got pricked)
Instructor: (puts the plant down) I sacrificed my soft, smooth, delicate, fragil hands. (wth!)

Anyway we spilt ourselves into groups to do some mini projects which have to be presented back at NUS. With the help of Ms Ang, of course we finished up super quickly and went down hill to slack. Gwen bought for all of us Gatorade (sorry haven pay u back) and so we just sat there to chat. Suddenly we saw a monkey walking towards our direction. I was still making fun of Jared saying that the monkey is walking towards him. But then I realised the monkey was walking towards my direction. It came behind me and Xin Ling and then we ran off. Stupid monkey went to took one of the Gatorade bottle away. (there's still drink inside and it belongs to the boys) I quickly grab my bottle away. lol that monkey climbed up to the tree and tried to drink it. The monkey was like biting and tearing the wrapper away. (stupid monkey, just open the cap and you will get to drink ler. tearing the cover won't get you access to the drink!!)

By then we were all complaining hungry... All thanks to Ms Ang who keeps reminding us that she can't wait for lunch. So then we took the bus to NUS. Guess what they served us for Lunch?
PIZZAS!!!! hahas. I was kinda dissapointed when I heard it was pizzas at first because I thought it would be some packet meal, something like chicken rice? Hahas anyway the pizza was delicious. There were many flavours, chicken bbq, peperoni, hawaian, mushroom etc.

At NUS the few of us were slacking throghout the time we were given to prepare for our presentation. Lol we left the work mainly to Gwen, Farah and Janice. The chair there is really fun. Super high and you can adjust it up and down. Super cool! Jared, Shariff and Bolor took my hp and was looking at my messages, reading out the names of those people in my inbox asking me which is my boyfriend. lol.

Presentation started off with Damai. This group of people were laughing like crazy la and they talked rather loud. *eurk* Anyway Jared and Shariff were looking at this girl from that group. Lol think they gonna search friendster for her. She's got quite a nice name. hahas won't say the name. Oh yeah and Jared was kind of scared of this girl. She's like dark and big size. hahas! I enjoyed Anglician High's presentation. It was really a world of difference between both school's presentation. no offence but its really obvious which is a better school. The way they spoke their english, carried out their presentation, thought of an experiment and answered the questions brought by the other groups.

Next we went to their museum. It was really cool with all the specimens. Took lots of pics there. Its with Xin Ling at the moment. Its a small museum at NUS and its open to the public. At the end of the day they gave out some souveniours. Our group got 3rd for the presentation and got some magnets which most of us thought it was a better prize than what the 1st and 2nd group got (a shirt with a fish). Shariff wants that shirt hahas! We also got a bookmark and a certificate. The certificate its the best souveniour out of all 3 because it has the NUS logo there. hahas!

Cannot remember how this topic started by then the boys were talking and somehow it lead to... blow job. *ahem* Xin Ling didn't know what it was so she kept asking "What is blow job?!" very loudly! hahas wth lols she so daring !! Xin Ling I salute you sia! Non of us wanted to tell her so she wanted to ask that male instructor. She raised her hands already la than I had to stop her. She was still asking us on the way to the bus. Lol and she was like shouting " What is blow job?!!" hahas Xin Ling dear!!! In the end we told her. =X

On the way back Shariff was playing with Xin Ling's hp. Deal or No Deal. Lols his super lucky. He manage to get the briefcase with the largest sum of money. Shariff I think you should join the game. You're so lucky unlike Jared. Hahas keep opening the big amounts.

End of story. Will upload the pics soon when Xin Ling comes online. Oh dear I guess this is probably my longest post..
