At last the late nights, the 14 hour routine of study daily, the "no TV, no chit chat" regulations in preparation for the Mid Year Exams are over! My anticipation for the June holidays grows as each day comes to pass. An exhiliarating series of activities are already in store for my month long vacation. The first week of June will be given to school. Argh. Anyway... It's to better prepare us for school reopening. I plan to do most of my revision in the first week too. To catch up and really understand concepts that I'd failed to grasp in the first semester. Camps. I'll be attending 3 camps in June altogether. How very exciting and tiring it all sounds right? Heh heh. The first of all will be my CCA camp which will last from 5th to 7th June. I'm looking forward to it as it'll be a good time to truly indulge in the arts after half a semester of a life without literature and art. ^.^ I do hope it'll be a better camp than the one I attended last December. the last camp was rather boring! We had to stay in the classroom for around 9 hours, from 10 till evening! Imagine, how very tiring it could get. Ahhh... Maybe have some outdoor activities..? Heeh... talking about drama, I have a dream. I have all along wanted to act as a woman of the 1950s. Those olden Singapore times, a samsui woman, a tai tai, any character that relates to olden Singapore. This relates to one place of my interest, that is Chinatown. I love the attitude which the place exudes. A modern yet still relatively traditional area. However nicely renovated it is, I dislike the fact that almost everything is revamped. Another place of interest will be Pulua Ubin in the dark. Often, we hear of the haunted tales and souls that linger about the dense forests of the island. Why don't we relieve ourselves of such unproven myths and truly enjoy the beautiful night life of the island? There are many things to admire of Pulau Ubin at night. As you stroll through the leaf scattered tracks of Ubin island in teh dark, you get to enjoy a brand new sensation. Fresh air, crickets singing which amplify all trhough teh woods, and the occasional croack of a toad. All these, on some evenings, you may even get to hear a man chanting. Fear not this monotonous chant. It is coming from Malaysia and they're a part of rites that Malaysians perform every now and then. All these, I got to experience during a camp in Ubin Island in March. I yearn for the thrilling night walk again and am looking forward to my upcoming camp in Ubin during the school holidays! Besides attending camps, learning from experiences, the holiday's going to be great for me! As I've brainstormed on the possible outings I can go with my friends. I'm going to check out the Jurong East swimming complex where there's a fantastic slide ride with my friends. Also in line are visits to Sentosa for a really relaxing beach tan, to the park for a healthy exercise and picnic, to teh bowling centre for some recreation, to indulge in art and craft, to tutor primary school children in their studies and many more! Most importantly, sleep to the maximum! Inconclusion, the June holidays are planned creatively for me and I'm definitely not going to be a couch potato in front of the televsion set at home! Till school reopens, see you!
