The last day of pri sch....

Rita, Ms Ng and Xin En
my sch is so small...but it means a lot!
Wan teng and Ms Woon!
see how smalll the population of my sch can be?? (above pic)

Hey Isnt that MR kannan??? My pri sch's discipline master....my prefectorial board teacher! He's fierce! But nice at times!

16/11/07, the last day for pri sch pupils...i just cant bring myself to think that Gmps(Ghim moh Primary) is already 31 years old and its last yr is 2008. Gmps is merging with New Town pri and its new location will be at Commenwealth drive 42, which is near my hse. Though its just a 15mins walk, the security might not allow my friends and i in...we are no longer the pupils there. Its a new school, new environment, new teachers and new pupils.

I went back to Gmps on the 16/11/07 to celebrate its 31st birthday. It was a quite a grand ceremony with a huge cake, and a slide show of the memories of Gmps since 1979...I joined the school in 2001, and for 6 yrs straight, i have never left that school. Thinking that Gmps will be closed down in 2009, simply...it really is a tragedy. With the enrolment of about only 400-500 pupils odd i think, the school has to merge. Haiz...aint that sad???

The last day of school next yr, will be a grand one...and i wont ever ever miss it...if i do, tell me to jump off a building, k?? Thanks.

Best regards,

CYnthia

I MISS GMPS!!!!!!!!!

-Wednesday, 7 of November, 9.07pm (S’pore time) @ The Hotel Marroad Narita
It is10.07 here now in Tokyo, Narita. I took a 6 hrs 10 mins flight from Singapore which was quite a long way here, sitting in the plane, chicken sleeping, hahas, watching tv almost ¾ of the flight. Haiz…I watched Transfomers, Ratatouille and Hairspray on the plane….that was so boring...

After that, we boarded the bus and headed for the hotel. It was about a 15mins bus ride. We placed our luggage in the hotel and went to a big shopping centre similar to Singapore’s Raffles City, but much nicer only…..I ate the pure type of sushi, or should I say, the “real” sushi made by “real” Japanese…lolx….I shopped and I bought quite a few things….they are the following:

-a pair of chopsticks
-4 pens
-a bowl
-a hard rock café Narita keychain
-a sticker…..
Yup that’s about it!!!

Then I headed for the supermarket and bought:

-SUSHI AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM YUM!!!!!!!! I didn’t eat enough @ the REAL Jap restaurant…hahas….

After that, the tour group headed back for the hotel and here I am, typing it in!!

Oops, gtg…bye bye!!!

Friday, November 09, 2007, 7.46pm(S’pore time) @ the Kawaguchiko Royal….the worst hotel so far I have stayed in!!!!!

Rating for hotel: 1/5

I went to a temple, somehow a guan yin temple…I made a few wishes and then went to grab quite a few souvenirs, quite fun though.

I bought:
- 1 magnet
- 1 keychain


After that we took a half and hour bus ride we went to a building with 45 floors to view the overview of Tokyo… and after that, to the red light district in Tokyo, which was awfully pathetic….lolx…


We spent about half and hour there and then we went for lunch. We ate Japanese steamboat which is also known as “Shabu Shabu” here in Tokyo. We then took a one and a half hour bus ride to Hello Kitty Land.

In Hello Kitty Land, we took the following rides:

-Boat ride
-Hello Kitty’s House

-Digimon motion land

I went to get:

- 3 different types of stickers
- 4 files

After that, we took a 2 hr bus ride to the hotel that I m in!!! We were instructed to wear the kimonos provided by the hotel for dinner…I was reluctant to wear it but some of the children somehow but I don’t know how, they manage to persuade me to wear…lolx…then I wore it! Haha…look pretty stupid in it!!! Lolx….

I just came back from the Hot Spring here! It’s a must try! At 1st, we didn’t know that we had to stripped naked b4 we get into the hot spring. I was so damn embarrassed!!!!!! But then, everyone was naked…so… that’s just it, we just dipped our legs into the pool and it was damn damn hot!!! But after that we were immune to it…of course, we are separated by ladies and men!!!! Lolx…now going to bed le!! Its not a bed actually, but it’s a tatami in Korean language….Oops got to go bye!!
Cheers,
Cynthia

- Saturday, November 10, 2007, 9.27pm (S’pore time) @ the Hotel Nikko Toyahashi…the second best hotel I have stayed in!!!!
- Rating for hotel: 4/5

I went to “ren ye ba hai”, which has water flowing from Mount Fuji, then we went to Mount Fuji. We manage to get to the half hill of Mount Fuji which is about 2000m above sea-level, also known as “wu he mu”.


We had lunch after that. We ate bento set.


After that we came down and visited the Hot Spring. It is different from the hot spring I went yesterday. It is made out of sulphur. A chicken egg that is placed inside it will be cooked in seconds and the shell will turn black. This happened as the hill is near the volcanic area. I also bought 6 eggs for 500 yen. It is a myth that if one eats an egg, his or her life will increase by 7 yrs. If he eats 2 eggs, his life would increase by 14 yrs. But, if he eats 3 eggs, his life will shorten by 7 yrs. I also bought an vanilla ice cream there eating it on the spot.

After which, we took a 3 hours plus bus ride to the bullet train station. The bullet train ride was about 15 minutes. We then took a hotel bus to the hotel. We had dinner and now I am back here, going to sleep soon!!

I bought:

-2 chains for handphone
-4 stickers

OOPS!!! Got to go….bye bye! Good night! Missing everyone in Singapore and the time here in Japan with this wonderful group of people!!!!!!!!!!!!


Signing off,Cynthia was here!

When I was bathing just now, my dad went downstairs and found that there is a shopping area named as Universal Studio City. I changed into my black shirt and skirt and rushed down. I bought a black snoopy shirt at one of the shops!!!!!
Rating for hotel: 4/5

It’s a thrill ride and is the largest outdoor roller coaster and also 1st largest I have taken in my 13 yrs of life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean it’s a fear that I carry for all these years and for once, I took it!!!!!!!!!!! When I got into the thing that you sit in…I thought to myself: am I doing the right thing?? Should I back out now?? Yea, I should… nah…ahh…omg…its moving I cant back out anymore no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lolx…yup that’s what I thought! Lolx…. Then when its climbed up to the 10th storey high, and came down, I was so scared I totally closed my eyes and felt like I was falling out of my seat…its was so damn bloody scary at that moment!!!!!!!!!! Ahh…its damn damn damn scary….
Ahh I got to go!!!!!!!!! Buh bye!! Btw, I m going tomorrow le! Haiz….will miss friends here…
