Sentosa with
Walter,
Yong Meng and
Kian Chong.
Something super bad happened after we left camp - heading straight to Sentosa. I left my phone at Specialist Lounge Toilet and thanks got someone found it returned to the guard house.
After the day fun in sentosa and
Wei Xiong's birthday celebration, i took a cab back to camp guardhouse to collect my phone. Guess what.
Kian Chong took my phone already. Haha...

Got met up with alot of friends whom i long time didn't see them due to heavy committment -
Vivian, Tommy, Yi Ming, Choy Bee, Jane, Tricia..
Played mahjong together with
Felicia, Tricia, her bf... We played only small small bet. 10cent 20 cents... Play only for 2 hours... I am the
big winner - $5.20 only! Felicia - $2 plus and Tricia's bf - 40 cents.
Comment for Wei Xiong's Mum: I am so dark and skinny... She somehow wish Wei Xiong would be able to be like me. Haha...
He gained more MORE WEIGHT! Waited for him at the guard house for 10 minutes as he just came out from Johor. He sent me home after that.
It was so fun and memorable in all - From POP to Sentosa to Wei Xiong's Celebration.
