It has been about 2 weeks since i last post.
I came back from Norway-Oslo this afternoon. The plane landed at 12.15pm and the duration of the flight is less than 2hs! I had an adventurous 3 nights stay at the snow cabin. This is how it happens:
The First Day:
My mother's boss drove us from the airport to the snow carbin. The journey is 3hs! (so long!) I slept a lot on the car and my youger brother vommitted at the car! It was snowing at that time and that it was very misty, making this journey diffcult. When we arrived at the snow carbin, my mother's boss show us everything and she left. We settled everything and went out to play snow. We played snowball and decided to make a snowman. After a few mins, my father ask the 3 of us to go in and have dinner. After which, our father helped us in drying the things that are wet from the snow that we played earlier on. While my older brother washed the dishes and my sister and i helped in drying the dishes. As for my mother, i did not notice. (Opps!) After everything, we sat down to watch television.
The Second day:
It has stopped snowing by the time we wake up and it was misty outside. We had waffles and hard-boiled eggs for our breakfast. After which, we went to the Thorn Hotel to looking for taxi and buses to take us to the airport. After everything is planned, we walked back. The distance is neither too near nor too far. After we had our lunch, we went out to play with the snow. This time, my brother and i make a slide. We were sweating and exhausted. After making the slide, we took out boards and we played with my whole family including my parents and my younger brother! Then, we went in to have lunch. After which, we went back out to play in the snow. After playing out in the snow for the second time, we went in to have our dinner and do our routine.
The third day:
As usual, it was snowing. But for today, the sky is clear. We had our breakfast as usual and went out to play. Then, we came back for lunch and we went to the skiing area to ski. My parents and my elder brother ski, taking turns because the rental only starts on 1 dec and we only have 1 pair. We brought another smaller pair to the ski area thinking that my sister could fit on it, but it couldn't. My father bought a ticket for an adult and a child, thinking that my sister could fit in the shoe, but she couldn't. So we wasted the ticket. After 1h, we went back to our cabin as our hands and feets are cold and afraid that we might get frost bite. We went back to have our dinner.
The fourth day:
We wake up at 5:30am in the morining to get ready to leave Oslo and return to Holland-Amsterdam. We took a taxi and alight at a bus-stop where there is no shelter or anything. The bus driver was kind and drove us to another bus-stop free-of-charge for the rest of the journey to another bus-stop. But my father still paid him some extra money. We alight and walk to the only shop that poens so early and have our breakfast there. Just as my mother is going to the toilet, she saw the bus came and my father, brother and i went to the bus-stop and load all our bags. My father said wait for another two and after my father left, the bus drove off even though the time is not up yet! My brother and i were panic-striken and i told my brother to tell the bus drive about it. The bus driver told my brother that they will have to wait for another bus. My brother told the bus driver to let us down now but he don't allow! When we are at the next stop, we wanted to alight, but we dont know how to walk back. So we continue sitting and ask passengers on bus to ent us a cell phone. None of them lent it to us and we dont know where to alight so we need to call our parents! When we reached the railway station which was athe last stop, everyone gets down and so do us. We took down all the bags from the bus and went to borrow a cell phone. At last someone willing to lent it to us. After which, we waited for our parents. At the airport, something went wrong and we took a long time to solve it. After which, everyone is safe and sound and we came back together.
It was lucky that my brother was with me. If not, i do not know what to do. I must really thank him for saving me.
The incident that happened on the 2nd night:
As for this time, my father said that he does not want to help us to dry our things as it is tiring for him. So, we did it ourslf. As for my sister, who was watching television non-stop, my elder brothet help her in drying her boots and told her that she need to come and turn the shoe for every 5 mins until it is dry. My sister said "Yes" and she continue watching the television and totally forgotten about it. After my brother had done his and i had done mine, we went to watch television. When my brother wanted to put more logs inside to keep the fire buring, he took off my sister's shoe as it was on the door the funnel. It was extremely and and my brother throw it on the floor. He saw my sister's boots burnt and have a big hole. He quickly went to look for my sister who was atill watching television and told her about it. After which, she sat down and cry. Luckily, at the cabin, has my mother's boss's son's boots and ,my father ask her to wear if it fit.
Thats all for the trip:)

After rested hours after the flights at mt parents'friends house, we wen to do some grocerry shopping.
After which, my mother made us some soup by adding hot water and add the packet of fillings into it.
Can you guess what i had for lunch other than the soup? Your answers might be rice, noodles or porridge? The answer is wrong. We had bread with ham and cheese for lunch!
After which, we stay at my parents' friends house all the way till tomorrow!!
Thats all for today's schedule!
After my family and i got off the plane, as usual, we went to Amsterdam's custom to have our passports checked.
When it was my elder brother's turn, he went to the police officer infront and hand his passport for him to check. When the police officer take the passport from my brother, the passport is wet. He asked my brother the reason for the passport to be wet is it because he is nervous? My brother answered no and the reason is because my brother have sweaty palms whenever he holds the object the long and hence the passport is wet. The polie officer did not believe my brother and continue asking him questions like which hotel is he staying... and so on. My brother did not know the exact location and so he told the police officers that he came with his parents.
The police officer suspect my brother that he will do illegal things and ask another police officer to handle it. The police officer ask us to get to the back so that he could talk to us. He asked my father if he could speak English and he said "yes". He also asked if my brother knew how to speak English and my father said "yes". He took all our passports and detained u behind as he wanted to check our backgrounds.
Just then, my father's friend called to ask him if he has reached the airport. My father run to the police officer-in-charge and pass the phone to him as the police officer does not believe that we are purely just visiting my parents' friends. My father followed the officer into a room while we stayed behind to wait for him to come out.
The officer ask my father a lot more questions as compared to my brother. He treated us like we are criminals. My father took a long time inside before he was released.
After which, my father told us the the reputation of Singaporean to Amsterdam's police officers. Singaporean has a bad reputation in Amsterdam. They do illegail stuff like taking drugs, smoking below a certain age limit and etc... That is why the officers would suspect us.
After all, my father said that it was an new experience for my brother. As for me, i think this situation is also a new experience for me.
Thats all!!
The time difference between Holland and Singapore is 7hs.
Now i am here, in Holland is in the afternoon and i guess that its at night in Singapore. Some of you might be sleeping or watching television.
My elder brother and younger sister went out to have a walk after using the computer for hours and the rest of them are having their afternoon nap! While here i am now, writing my "diary".
Have a good night everyone those who are in Singapore!!
Byess

Yesterday, i went to school for the NPCC briefing about the about house and some others for only about 1/2h!
I learnt that the open-house is on 18/11/09 (next Wednesday) which i am still overseas. As a result, i would not be able to attend the open-house which i want to participate in. It was quite fun and easy and it is a combined UG activity. On that day, at least 2 primary school will be coming and this might be the item that we are presenting to them.
This activity only consisted of about 15 people in NPCC. We have 3 levels: sec 1, sec 2 and sec 3. They will choose 5 from each level to be fair to sum up to 15.
In NPCC, they will have sec 4 farewell party, NCO camp and annual unit hike between 20/11/09 - 9/12/09. There might not be annual unit hike because it will be like everyday come for NPCC.
I come back on the 29 november and i have missed a lot of NPCC stuffs which i want to go.
I make sure that i will attend all NPCC stuffs if possible unless i am overseas/some other diffculties.
Thats all for now!!

We will fly off from Singapore Changi Airport at 12 midnight and we will reach there 3h before (which actually only 2h needed).
My brother says that he wants me to take the lead to the place where we were supposed to go to at the airport (changi) if i went to the wrong direction, they will still follow... "That's scary".
I will come back on the 29th November 2009 which then i can be prepared to move house!!:)
Thats all for now!!
Now, I am re-searching for the place of interest in Holland-Amsterdam.
I have got NPCC today at 1pm and farewell party for my classmate, Sarah. Which will be celebrate at Florida also at the same time. I sacrifice the first 2 hours to go to the NPCC open-house which is in school as i feel that it is much more important.
After which, i need to rush to Florida to celebrate Sarah's farewell party, together with Jaron.
The farewell party ends at 6pm and i need to go off at 5:30pm as i need to pick my sister up from school...
I can only be for about 2h.

Today, i woke up earlier than usual so that i would have time to fry beehoon and wait for my friends Wan Ying, Cheryl, Alvin and Jeremy to come over to my house after they have finished buying all the stuff needed for the barbecue. They come around 10-11am which the beehoon had already fry finished. Then, my maid and i went on to the seaweed chicken which just needed to put into oven for 10-20 mins at 180'c. After which, we went on to slacking till 1.30pm, when we took all our stuffs prepare to head towards Hougang Interchange to meet my friend who is waiting for us at Interchange, i remembered my cousin, Vanessa said that she would like to join us. So, we went to the ground floor, beside the deep pool to wait for her. We waited for her about 45mins-1h. After that, we proceed to Hougang Interchange striaghtaway.
I waited for bus 89 for about 5-10mins. The bus was a double-decker!! We went up as it was a long journey. Half-way through the journey, Jeremy laugh like madman that he hit the beehoon and it dropped on the foor. (Eee, so disgusting!) Cheryl, WanYing and the problematic(Jeremy) clean up the place.
After we got off the bus, we meet Alex, Benedict, Guo An, Kai Cong and Brandon Wee at Mac eating ice-cream. Then we went to Pairs ris park and look for the barbecue pit. On the way, it started to rain. All of us rain to the nearest shelter. We played and crack jokes. After a while, it stopped raining. Then we went back there and Benedict, Guo An, Kai Cong and Brandon Wee went to bought some more stuffs.
After we had settled down, the rain started to pour again and we went to seek the nearest shelter leaving all the things behind except for our bags and valuables while keeping an eye on it. After which, the rain gets smaller and we went to start the fire all over again with umbrellas covering over it and most of us (maybe even all) got wet.
After while a long time, then we manage to light the fire. Some of us eat only a little bit, does not help much.
At around 9 plus, i went to my cousin's house to stat overnight!!
Thats all for today...

Today, Sarah, Jeremy, Nixon and i meet at school opposite void-deck which is the block where Jeremy lives. We were supposed to meet there at 9:00am. Instead, i am late for half-an-hour. I reach there about 9:30m bgo home, but we did not believe him and we waited for him at the railingecause my elder brother woke up late and i wanted a ride from my grandpa since it is on the way, so i waitedfor him. In the end, i was late although i woke up ealier than i am supposed to.
The 4 of us went up to Jeremy's house to put our things and went to Hougang Mall after that. As we are walking to the escalator to the 2nd storey, Nixon said that Jeremy is hungry because he have not ate his breakfast yet! So, we went to Mac and waited for him to eat. However, he did not eat, but we sit there. The 3 of us bully him. One of us took his wallet and Sarah took out everything from his wallet one by one. We saw his ez-link card and he look weird, with no expression. We laugh for quite a period of time as i have stomach ache after that. After which, we saw some secondary school students looking for seats, so we left.
We went up to 3rd storey. Out of a sudden, Sarah opened the door where the lift is located. He pushed Jeremy inside and he said that he wll go home, we did not believe him so we went to the railings to wait for him. We spotted him at 1st storey. Sarah called him to come up and he insisted on going home. So he left after hanging up the phone.
The 3 of us decided to go his house to find him. On the 2nd storey near the escalator, i saw my ex-classmate, Yan Shan. I told Nixon about it as he also know her. We did not want her to spot us, so we walk very fast.
We went up to Jeremy's house and stay there till about 1 plus and have our lunch there (but i did not eat!)
After which, we went down to the bus-stop and sit bus "113" to Hougang Sports Hall and play badminton from 2-3 p only. When i came out, i saw my brother's friend Jin Hao sitting there with his group of friends. I ontinue to walk on to the nearest bus-stop and went to my grandma's house.
Thats all for now...
