3J's class BBQ was yesterday.
Jac and I actually wanted to go earlier to rent bicycles actually, but then by the time we reached it was already 3.40 pm, which kind of defeats the purpose of going earlier so we decided to wait for the rest to come so that we can go together. (Another reason was that we didn't know which bus to take to get there but nevermind).

Some people were a bit late, actually at first there was only YiJun, MeiXuan and YiLin. They were standing on opposite sides of the noticeboard so I thought there was only one person there. Then came Shu Ting and Charlene and Jia Hao and Jose (are there anymore?) and so we set off!

Highlights of the day:

Tried to get the fire started
Tried to get the charcoal to burn
Tried not to get myself roasted because of the heat
Tried not to choke myself on smoke
Tried to swing higher than Jac =P
Tried to save the fire ( I couldn't since I can't blow strongly)
Played Taitee and lost quite... spectacularly lol.
Ate charred marshmellows that were brilliant =)
Ate a bloody chicken wing like what Pris did
Ate and ate and ate and ate....
Lost my cup twice even though I wrote my name on it.
BBQ a lobster ( the one on the boat that capsized)
Yelled at Janus to keep a better eye out for his children XD
Looking at people smearing (destroying) perfectly good chocolate cake on each other's faces
Eating chicken rice without the chicken
Watching cars that mocked us (me and jac and suan ching and cheryl and jiahui) *sniff*
Finding out that my parents, which were supposed to send Jac and I home, were in fact in east coast park. Hallelujah! (no offence)
Was told to follow my heart on how to get to the bus stop. (Bloody brilliant)
Hitching a ride in Mr hamdan's car to Tampines (Thanks Mr Hamdan!)
Getting scolded by my parents for the misconception in venue.
Getting scolded by my GRANDparents for the misconception in venue.
Barely made it alive (nearly got turned to chopped liver and onions by parents)

That should be all ba.

I really freaked out on the way to the busstop although it was only a short walk.

I was walking alone, mind you. The only sources of light were from the street lamps. The wind was chilly, the sky was red and everything was so DAMN BLOODY QUIET.

Just like a scene from a horror movie. Or a kidnapping. Both not happy.

It was just all too scary for me. There was also the very real fear of getting lost in an area that i'm not familliar with. I imagined myself not reaching home until the next morning, my parents murdering me... stuff that you can imagine when the logic side of your brain dies.

Then Mr Hamdan saw me and told me to get in his car. Mr Hamdan must be rich, he doesn't drive. Somebody else does it for him. 0.o

So I reached Tampines much faster than I expected.

I really am, in a weird way, lucky. Although it wouldn't be needed if there was no miscommunication but...

Luck. One of the things that saved my life more often then not.

And of course Mr Hamdan =) Without him I would have probably gotton lost.

Next time, when going anywhere (far), I want a lot of escorts.
