I'm posting this even though nobody is reading. I know it's completely useless, but you see people, I'm bored. And a bored person will desperately do anything to make herself fell not bored. That doesnt make sense at all agin but yes just ignore me. I'm being lame.I vow, as in reeally vow to sleep early today! I stayed up till twelve something yesterday watching youtube videos because I was bored and I fell asleep on bus 852 two times and missed the Bukit Timah Natural Reserve stop! It was horrible just sitting under the air-con in the near freezing temperatures of the bus listening to songs and looking at the monotonous scenery going by slowly; and "WHAM!" hit your head against the stupid window or chair in front and then you realise you had falled asleep. That was not all. You look around to see where you are and realised you have never seen that place before. I was charging like a mad bull out of the bus by the time I realised and then before I knew it, I was late. And of course I ran all the way up to the hut!
The day was quite fun except for that 'incident'. Me and Selina and Haiqing and Minghao were mending station three which was the one educating the public on snakes. Tee-hee, we were rather hesitant at first about approaching people but later we got used to it. The people there were overall quite nice, especially the old ladies and couples or mums with children and they just loveed our 'snakes and
There were weird peeps though. One of them was this two secondary students (who looked like sec 4s), they were like acting smart and asking us,"Do you know if all the cobras are poisonous?" And me and Selina (smiley as always) said no and smiled back at them then they were like, "Aha, you dont know your facts." and we were like "yeah, so sorry." But then they said, "Actually, I dont know either." That was so lame, I mean only if you know then you have the right to say that, right?! We were like "okayy...", then they went on.
There was also this person who asked us weird questions, like, "Do you know what's the most poisonous snake in the world?" and we were like, "Cobras? Rattlesnake?" and he was like, "No, its the Seasnake! Three seconds and you die." Haha, that was pretty funny.
And there were these 2 women who glanced once at our posters and started backing off and yelling, "No, NO." We were like 'huh?' and then I guessed they were pretty afraid of snakes. Like my mum. But I dont think she would be scared of a poster right?! Okayy, it was reeally scary when these three hikers were hiking up and then they asked us why we are doing this, and we told them we are volunteers under secondary four Service Learning group and he was like, "No wonder. I was wondering why sec 2s were having service learning because I teach at RI.." and we were like "what-the-hell. A RI teacher hiking? He must be super free."
Then there were a group of noisy guys who ran past us quickly because they were blasting music, which fyi you shouldnt do in the reserve. That was like so retarded. Then there was also a group of rowdy malay guys who according to nicole placed a bug in somebody's shirt and squashed it there. Pretty gross.
I think we did quite a good job today. Great work everybody, Keep it up! I am looking forward to the launch of Ambers! It's going to be so much fun!
