then we proceeded to swensen for icecream!!! =)

then this is the chocolate fondue
well, during the meal, i accidentally lit my marshmellow on fire!
and i immediately stuck it into a bowl of melted ice cream to put it out.
(aint i a genius? =) haha.)
well, wee beng was so fascinated with fire,
he wanted to set one on fire too!!

this is wee beng with the burning marshmellow!!

wee beng CONTINUES to burn it...

finally, before we went to find alodie...

we took a group picture!

well, the next day, i went to the beach with my children's camp group. my sis tagged along, as the camera woman. well, the weather was great when we arrived at the beach. the first game we played was dog and bone! children against helpers.

after lunch, we sent the kids to the bus stop. after which darren, shawn, jie xuan, samuel, my sis and i headed back to cycle and roller blade. well, i wanted to learn how to roller blade and samuel was willing to teach. so i rented blades for an hour and got an additional hour free! the rest got bikes. well the moment i got into the blades, i rolled downhill. not wanting to fall on cement, i veered off into the grass. "omph!" i fell with my eyes shut tight. all the while mean samuel laughed at me. hurr. well, i got off on a shaky start and started wobbling my way down the bicycle path. well, i was taking a really really long time so darren decided to take me on tow. he cycled and a hung on for dear life. eveything was going on fine until he reached a hump. we went up alright. it was the coming down. my legs started to give way and i shouted a word to darren. "STOP!" well, he couldnt do it on time. so he dragged me along the path before coming to a halt. thank God for knee guards! i dont want to imagine what would happen if i didnt put those things on! well after that i fell another 2 times. both times on my butt. grr. it hurt loads. but oh well, i kept getting up. until i reached a mega high slope and well, i freaked out. in the end, i took off my skates and walked back to where we rented them. the rest went on ahead except for darren. he stayed behind to accompany me. thanks captain! =) i took half an hour to walk back when i took an hour to skate there! man. i'm slow. sigh. after the tiring trip, we all trooped down to seven eleven to get a cold drink. after that, we all went home. sigh. i'm contented. really.
