Ok i came back from OEP yesterday and i'm now posting after watching the Liverpool vs Luton Town replay. I didn't post earlier bcoz i was too tired and i didn't feel like it. =p
Anyways we went to Malacca for our OEP and it was fun. Firstly you get to spend 6 days and 5 nights with some of our best friends in the world and your nice classmates. How cool is that?
Well i'm gonna post what we did in a couple of paragraphs in order of day.

Sat, the 1st day, 12 Jan.
We took a 3 hour bus ride to Muar where we spent the whole afternoon doing cool activities. We went kayaking,(which was super fun) we did river rafting, (which was also tremendously fun bcoz towards the end we decided to capsize the boat. Well we tried too.) Then we also did an obstacle course which was challenging, and interesting.) And the last activity was some stupid build your own noob raft which was the most uninteresting and made me want to sleep part.) We then proceeded to a restaurant for dinner then to Malacca to check in and rest for the night.

Sun, the 2nd day, 13 Jan
Second day and i must say 1 of the more boringest days in history. We went to some red square to learn about the melakan history, then we went to some cultural house to learn about peranakan culture and customs.( the latter being the much much more boring part.) We then went back to hotel to rest and then we had some batik art painting thing which was quite fun. The best part of the day was the trip to Jonker Street at night where i bought 2 pairs of sunglasses which looked so cool and some other stuff.

Mon, the 3rd day, 14 Jan
Third day. It rained in the morning so it delayed our treasure hunt, (which was such a good thing=D) we had a trishaw ride to Makhota parade where we went for a lil shopping but i didn't buy anything cos i already spent about 100 rm. We mostly slacked around Macs. We did eventually do the treasure hunt thing where we came in 3rd, surprisingly, we thought we came in like last cos we were all slacking. After that we went to a Salvation Army home where we did some really meaningful CIP work. After a hard afternoons work we retired to the hotel to slack for the rest of the night.

Tuesday, the 4th day, 15 Jan
We went to the bee farm in the morning where we learnt how to collect and process honey. We also learnt that Dean could speak to animals. We then proceeded to D'Paradise where we stayed in the fruit bar for like 2 hours i think cos it was raining. We had some interesting food competitions to see who could eat a passion fruit the fastest. Without a doubt, Leon came in the winner. We then went to visit the ostriches and deers where i was totally freaked out. I was like so scared of them and i started running everytime 1 came near me. Freaky stuff. We also went to some interesting tribal dance show which was strangely interesting. After dinner, we proceeded to back to D'Paradise for our very challenging yet super fun night walk. We thought it was gonna be like a stroll in the park, but it surprised everyone. It turned out that the guides had led us all the way up to the bonfire instead of juz a simple walk along the path. There were slopes, logs to cross holes, vines to climb up steep slopes, thorny vines, protruding roots. Very very fun, but it was amusing to see some people do the course and i pitied the people up in the front, cos they were the first ones to get tripped, to fall and to notice weird thorny branches. The fact that it was close to pitch dark except for our torchlights made it ever cooler. Through God's grace we all made it up to the top and nobody was hurt except a few scratches here and there and extremely muddy shoes. Dean tripped into a hole and almost sprained his leg at the end. Sad guy.

Wednesday, the 5th day, 16 Jan
The best day of the trip for me. We slacked around the mall for 3 hours after buying our ingredients for the cooking competition later on in the evening. The cooking competition was so fun. We cooked sambal prawns and made onion omelette sandwiches. It was a disaster at the start, with Jin Sun destroying the tofu and it didn't help when then morale was going down and some people were beginning to wonder whether I, leading the group for this competition was such a good idea. Anyways we pulled through and after some nice decorations made by Jin Sun, some good cutting and hilarious introduction to our dish, we won the 1st prize. =)

Thursday, the 6th day, 17 Jan
The last day. We took a hour journey to Kukup island where we ate a seafood lunch, visited a floating fish farm and some nature walk then we went back to the second link. After that, we went back to school to play some street soccer. I shouldn't have played but I just had too and we played for about 25 mins cos half the time we were trying to get back the ball Josiah kicked over the fence.

Events to Note.
Curfew time.
This was something that i bet almost everyone violated but only a few were caught cos they turned the volume of the TV too loud, or they made too much noise.

Sick mates.
Keith, Jeremy, Edward, John Tang all fell sick. Keith and Jeremy were running pretty high temperatures and Edward had diahorrea for a few days while John Tang had stomachaches. But thanks to the caring teachers who brought Keith and Jeremy to see the specialist doctors, and by God's grace and mercy they were alright in the end.

Dean's 'amazing ability' to talk to animals.
This fascinated most of us and made him the animal man or maybe just the bee-man.

Shopping list ( what i spent my money on)
Quiksilver belt(15rm)
2 cool caps (30rm)
2 cool sunglasses(30rm)
Tidbits(roughly about 30-40rm)
Traditional Fan(2rm)
Room service on the 2nd last day(30rm)
A really nice necklace of the cross(10rm)
and including some other stuff i spent about 200 rm in total.(or more)

Anyways this concludes this super long post. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm sorta happy to back in Singapore cos it rocks here. We got lots of homework for the weekends and that sucks. Signing off..

Just because someone doesn't love you in the way you want them to, doesn't mean that they don't love you with all they've got.
