外公外婆

我好想恋我过世的外公和外婆。至从我出世一直到我念小学以来，父母就因为工作忙碌而把我交给外公和外婆照顾。他们带给了我一段非常快乐的童年。外公在我练小学的时候就因病而过世了。而外婆就一直都很坚强的活下去。我知道很不容易，所以我一有空，就会打电话陪她聊天。每个星期天都会到她家去陪她，偶尔也会买一些她喜欢吃的食物。一直到我升上中三，外婆的生体就开始变得很虚弱。她生病了。不管我们怎么劝她，她一直都坚决不要到医院去。外婆的病情一天比一天来的严重，她已经没有办法下床和进食。我们缺定打电话叫救伤车把她送到医院去。到了医院，医生告诉我们外婆在来医院的途中脑死了。医生便叫我们去见她后一面。我一直都站在她的身边陪伴着她，一直紧紧的握着她冰冷的手。我知道她的时间已经到了。我非常的不舍得。我含着眼泪在她的耳朵旁小小声的对她说‘外婆，您安心的去吧，我们都会好好的照顾自己的。我要感谢您一直对我无微不置的照顾，谢谢。。。’一直到现在，我还是常常的想起他们。他们在我心目中占了一个非常重要的地置。

Pulau Ubin Trip on 2th July 2008

A half day tour to Pulau Ubin on the 5th July 2008.

We took bus 59 from Bishan interchange to Changi Village for our breakfast and after which we headed to Changi Point Ferry Terminal. This is the second time I had sat on a bumboat that ferry me to Pulau Ubin. The first trip is way back to my secondary school time during my NPCC annual camp.

Upon arriving at the jetty on Pulau Ubin, we went straight to the information kiosk to pick up a free map of the island.

What then greeted us was a row of bicyle shops and a bunch of over-friendly touts. We rented 2 bicycle for a total of 12 bucks for the whole day. That’s like what you get for renting one bicycle in Pasir Ris or East Coast Park for an hour or so only! Thereafter, we set off on our journey to explore the ''kampong'' island.

We conquered half of the Pulau Ubin! We felt so tired after cycling all around the island for a few hours. We pedalled till our legs finally gave way and decided to call it a day after much distance. It was fun and of course, sweat!

Japan Trip from 18th to 24th October 2008

We just booked our trip to Japan! We finally settled at Hong Thai Travel corner located at People's Park Complex after looking through their packages. There was a 7 days - The Best of Honshu package that caught our eyes! We will be departing on 18th October 2008 by Japan airline. A day just before my 21st birthday! It will be their Autumn season and we will be able to see the beautiful maple leaves. The temperature will be ranging from 15-19 degree. I choose Hong Thai travel as my first choice because previously I have joined their tour group to Australia - Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney. I can say that their customer service is tip top and their tour leader is informative and helpful. However, their prices are not the cheapest i think.
