Island Life - Sunday, April 10, 2005 at 11:15 AM

The week's over and it has been pretty interesting, especially saturday where a couple of the YAG guys (and a girl) and I went down to St. John's island to do a recce of the island, basically to check out the living conditions of our holiday camp, or what i'd rather call a dorm.

The boat ride from Sentosa itself was an hour to 1 1/2 hours, which was pretty un-nerving. Cos it was obviously going to be a 2 way trip. Which means travel time = 2 - 3 hours. The return trip was just ridiculously long as all of us skipped lunch and some even breakfast, and we were dying to return to shore. Martin and I slept through the trip, Terence was awake cos he slept for the entire morning on the island, Joel was fidgeting about, Tai Vie tinkering with his GPS, and Sharon, trying.. not to get sea-sick.

Ok, i'll stop myself here before i even continue to tell you what the place was like. This entry will become too normal for my blog.

Here goes.... As i was stuck on St John's Island from 1130am to 0245pm (the only 2 timings for transport, i.e. the boat), i was thinking of the famous, ridiculously, over-used, and yet somehow practical question at that very moment.... "If you were stranded on an island, and you're able to choose 3 things or people to bring along with you, what would it be?"

I did a little survey on some of my victi... FRENS!! i mean frens (*phew*) and here are the results:
Jue Ke: A babe, a tent, a lighter
JJ: A girl, a jungle knife, waterproof matches
Zeming: Clothes, food, water
Ian: A babe, a lighter, a jungle knife
Kabu: Yexin, a jet, a dog
Evil Mok: An ally, an enemy(both gays... dun ask, beats me too), a gf
GuangZheng: Entire CD collection, his mum, all his frens
Grace: Handphone, male friend, change of warm clothes.
Lionel: A jet, a pilot, a camera

Evaluation time!!!!
Jue Ke, JJ, Ian, Evil Mok: Typical hot-blooded males. Thinks of female companionship over things like survival in terms of food and shelter. Usually unattached in real life, and would very much like female companionship. Minus Evil Mok, well, he's just plain weird.
Zeming: Quite a shocking answer, as i guess a normal person would imagine they could live on coconut juice and wild boars.
Someone who worries about the bare necessities of life. A careful person who doesn't like slip-ups in their planned out life.
Lionel, Kabu: Smart answers! Practical people who immediately attack the root of the problem. To clear the air, Kabu would want Yexin for his doctoral and jungle survival skills. Nothing else. Really.
Guangzheng: The classic "bring-canned-food-but-got-no-can-opener". Bring entire cd collection, but no cd player!!! Wahaha. Hmm... someone who values his prized possesion and people around him.

Now to the fun part. Extracts of the more interesting parts of my conversations:

JJ:

jj says:

------------------ says:

jj says:

------------------ says:

jj says:
err...

(Never vote us for president if you love your country)
