    Hi Mei Yee
    It’s now 2.30 am, Saturday morning!! Jen Nee, Elizabeth, Pau Leen, Alisa, Nancy and I have been talking all night. Elizabeth’s quite OK, I guess. I told you that everyone thinks she’s a flirt ’coz she talks to all the guys. She can be quite friendly to girls when there are no guys around.
    Today I borrowed a Judy Blume book, Just as Long as We’re Together. I simply love Judy Blume!! She makes the characters in the stories SO cute and real!
    I have 63 signatures now—good improvement.
    For the English essay test, “Recollections of 1991”, I got 27/40. Quite good. Average is 20. Most of my classmates got lower than I. Sometimes I don’t feel comfortable being cleverer than them ’coz some of them don’t like ASEAN scholars. I guess these are the problems many scholars face at the beginning.
    God, do I love weekends!!! I hope my being quieter here than in BM (’coz you’re not here) won’t make me eventually a quieter person. It’s 3.05 am now. Better sleep.
    Love, Pei Yi

    Dear Mei Yee
    Gosh! I’ve so (100x) many things to tell you.
    Games were REALLY fun and funny today! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I was in Red Team—the best team at cheating. Our leader is a spastic guy called Ekan. We played a game where we have to pass water down the line:

    And Gaik Teong, a VERY funny guy in my Red Team, took the pail of the team next to ours and poured the water into our pail. And the other team didn’t even know!!! We were all laughing like crazy. We didn’t pass the water properly—we just poured it into the pail and cheated a lot. When the team next to ours poured it even slightly wrongly, Gaik Teong would shout, “Cheating! Cheating! No sportsmanship! Cheating, like little kids!” He’s SO funny—I can’t explain, but if you were there, you’d have died laughing!!!
    The guys were all so damn funny. They caught one guy and dumped him into a mud puddle in the field. Then they caught another guy and he too got sabo (sabotaged). Nearly all the guys were dragged into the mud. So stupid and so funny! The other teams were cheering and our Red team wasn’t. Then Ekan said, “Our team is special. No team spirit. No need to cheer!” So funny! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! They had some really nice cheers. The guys were really crazy. We had to count like this:

    Ekan couldn’t get us to count ’coz we’d all shout “One!” and someone else would also say “One!” then “Five!” then go backwards and all. So funny. Our team members were real cheaters. Once we had to throw water bombs to see which team collected the most. Red Team collected so many before the game even started but the organizers found out and gave our water bombs to another group. Purple came in first, and us cheaters were second!
    In the morning, Alisa and I went for a walk around the expensive, beautiful houses beside Hua Zhong Hostel. The designs are so unique—unlike any I’ve seen before in BM. I passed the house of Mr Goh something, the Prime Minister of Singapore.
    Later, Betty, Jen Nee and I went to Coronation Plaza. There are two bookstores there where you can buy books and sell them back if you want (at a lower price), and they have shelves and shelves of disgusting books!!!!!!!! Imagine so many of them! I bought one.
    I’ve got the photos already. A bit blur ’coz of my lousy camera. Cost S$9 for 35 prints. They gave a proper photo album, though, not like the lousy ones in Malaysia.
    A Sec 4 girl whom most people don’t like asked Jen Nee and I to do chores for her to get her signature. Like cleaning her bag and going down to take water for her. I didn’t want to do that so she asked me to get a written approval from a guy saying he wants to marry me. So I asked Leo. Of course he
