I just came back from the school outing. If I were given only one word to describe the camp, I would say: cold. It was extremely cold at night. I was spending my whole night squirming inside my sleeping bag but nonetheless, it was indeed an unforgettable experience. We went to the Underwater World and the Dolphin Lagoon in the two-day camp. It was a little expensive as we paid 38 bucks for just the places and the food of course. But then we assembled at 5pm on the first day and were released in the morning the next day. I think we could have gone to more places. But at least, I got to touch Jumbo, the pinkest dolphin at Sentosa. Woo hoo.. And we also got to sleep in the Underwater World itself, underneath all the fishes. Yawn.. I only got to sleep a couple of hours as there were some night owls gambling. And everytime I woke up in the middle of the night, I would see big, big fishes swimming around. This is because we were allocated at that stretch. The tunnel was long but since Pei Lin and I were late from showering, we got that not-so-good place. But considering that we couldn't see very clearly without our glasses on at night, that's just the perfect spot for us. If I were to squint hard enough, I could at least make out the silhouettes of the BIG fishes. The food was yummilicious scrumptious too, especially the supper. There was this miniature chocolate eclair with ice cream inside that made me yearns for more and more and more. However, during some of the short introductions, I'm the only one who couldn't understand the jargons like cartilage. I guess I'm the only non-Biology student there and I'm definitely the only student from 05S24. Fortunatly Pei Lin was there. It's been a decade since I've been to the Underwater World and I really love this trip with the Science Department especially that cute but shy dugong. So when we went to Causeway Point, I bought this cute little pink dugong handphone accessory from More Than Words as the stuffs at the Souvenior House was so expensive. This shall be a little memory of the last outing with SnT.
