NPCC Overseas Educational Visit To Hong Kong & Macau - Day 5
Day 5/21 November 2009
Hong Kong Disneyland! Went there with family 4 years ago and still, no changes except for the tickets. Which means, the rides are still that boring.
We were told that the temperature was 9 degrees and below that day but I wore my Rusty jacket instead of my thick Fox jacket. Kinda regretted but oh well...
Got the tickets and meal coupons :) And also the heat pack.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Had the Disney's Animation Youth Program where we learnt how to do some kind of animations by using paper and physics,cool :) Also, drawing of Mickey Mouse. I like my drawing :) Then the guide brought us to this small theatre for a 10 minutes 3D clip and it's like woah! We can feel effect seh like water, heat, wind and smell of some food shown in the clip. And there's a certificate for us.
Our guide for the animation program :)  
Free and Easy time! :D 30 cadets, separated into 3 groups. Officers on their own. Had lunch with the girls (Jacinth, Rebecca, Jia Min, Eunice and Eileen) and the boys (Johnson, Darrell, Nishanth, Zheng Qian, Vladimir, Benjamin and Ebenezer) at Starlight :) Rebecca ordered the fish fillet burger, I ordered the teriyaki burger and we shared half half. After lunch,the girls went for shopping and the boys played roller coaster so we agreed to meet at the meeting point (Starlight cafe) after 20 minutes.
Met up,then we played Space Mountain! It's not that thrilling actually :(
Adventureland :) Darrell and me want to take the raft to the Tarzan treehouse but in the end, we didn't get to go. on our way to the River Cruise...
Even the cleaner/or what you/they call it,
All of us took the River Cruise around the adventure land. Nishanth scared this cute little caucasian girl away because he was loud.
This is Kathy seh
Fake ruins seh
Fake crocodiles seh
Zebras and Elephant seh
Hippopotamus seh
Darrell : Nishanth, they look so wrong seh! Nishanth : They look like they're f_____ the pole seh!
Real fire seh
Baby elephant seh
After the river cruise, we had fun playing hide and seek in disneyland :) Wanted to hide in Autopia, the car ride, but there's parade going on so couldn't get to the other side. Saw Darrell's girl friend,now officially his girlfriend :)
Thought of going another way but no way to get to the other side unless we run back to Fantasyland, behind the sleeping beauty castle. But it's too far away and we were at the Main Street U.S.A. So we splitted up into 3 groups and agreed to meet at Starlight after the game ends. Saw 2 CIs so yeah,joined. Queued up for Autopia and the waiting time - 60 minutes.
Jia Min,Jacinth,Johnson,Zheng Qian and many others left for shopping so left Rebecca,Eunice,CI Kevin,CI Terence,Eileen,Vladimir and me. The ride very boring, VERY. And it's very stupid, VERY. You just need to step on the pedal because there's like a metal or what track there. Just like the name Autopia, really very automatic seh. The ride ended within 6 minutes and we waited for 60 minutes.
Space Mountain again! Nishanth came up with this idea - scream all the way and when they snapshot us,we do the -.- sian face. I think only Nishanth succeeded in doing the sian face. Haha.
Shopping shopping shopping! :) But I didn't get anything awesome except a nice Mickey T-shirt,bracelet and earrings. Really love it :) And the Disneyland Cookies. The box is cute and it looks classy so I bought it. But the cookies and chocolates inside really yummy,should've bought another one.
Nishanth : Eh if feel cold right, we can buy this mickey mouse glove seh!
Dinner at Starlight.
Crystal place, mad. The price of the crystals and glasses, very expensive. Wanted to do some engraving on the crystal/glass for mum and dad but it will take 1 hour and by the time they finish it, it's time for us to board the coach. Left the shop and went for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, a game like laser tag.
CI Terence
CI Kevin and Nishanth
Eunice, Vladimir and Eileen
CI Kevin and Nishanth
I was freezing so Vladimir lent me CI Kevin's jacket. Thanks bro :) The Astro Blasters game sucks because I'm only in level 3. Kidding about the sucks part. My marksmanship failed so accept the fact. Shopping again.
Christmas tree
Darrell and Nishanth
Disneyland Fireworks! Really crowded and we couldn't get a good spot so we watched from afar. But it's also nice from our spot :) I lost the "paper spectacle" and CI Terence was beside me so he lent me the "paper spectacle" for some part of the fireworks. The "paper spectacle" is special because .... this is hard to explain. Let it be a mystery then :)
Romantic atmosphere :) I will bring my future boyfriend there someday and we'll give each other a hug under the beautiful fireworks. I love the part when they spammed the whole sky with fireworks with 'A Whole New World' as background music. Didn't take any pictures of the fireworks because was videoing but don't intend to upload because it's going to be long.
Me, Eunice, Darrell, Chen Jing, Benjamin and Johnson
Ben sir
Romantic moment over. Back to meeting point and coach,then hotel. The officers bought stockings for us again. Went over to Rebecca/Jia Min's room to get some food, chit-chat, polish shoes. Invited CI Jolene, CI Kevin and CI Terence over. Not forgetting Dawn, Shi Ying, Jacinth, Eunice, Vladimir and Zheng Qian :) On one condition, they must bring some food over! :D
Dawn, Shi Ying, Jacinth, Eunice, Vladimir and Zheng Qian very smart :) They opened a packet of wang-wang crackers then each take one packet. Hahaha cute people :) CI Kevin with 2 boxes of meltykiss and CI Terence with a Calbee Potato thing. I combined the 3 snacks together and it taste yummy to the max!
Some of them polished their shoes/boots. But lights out time is 12am so we went back to our rooms at 11.30pm. Tired. Packed my luggage because leaving for Macau the next day :)
Eileen talked to Vladimir till like 2am. Took this picture of her talking on the phone before sleeping.
And I found this in my camera. Hahaha.

About Me
Koh Ching Na
Why Freedomofdoves? Ever heard of the song - "Paint My Love" by Michael Learns To Rock? Listen to the chorus and you might find out the answer from there. I am not a huge fan of doves but I just find that this uniform resource locator of my blog sounds really comely and it gives me a halcyon feeling. This is where I blog about the story of my life...
Every individual is different. I am a very hyper active person with effervescent personality and I am very sociable :) During my leisure time, I visit the museums or go cycling at the beach. My preferences for genres of music are easy listening, blues, classical and pop. I also search for beautiful pictures for inspirations. I only watch Hong Kong Dramas and news.
Under my parents consent, I have an english name - Athena, as many people do not know how to pronounce my name. I live in this famous little red dot, Singapore. People often mistaken me as a foreigner but I am a pure Singaporean :) My mother is an Indonesian and my father is a Singaporean. Not considering the fact that we are near to the equator, Singapore, this developed country is a wonderful place to live in. Be it traditional songs or NDP theme songs, they are still my favorites.
I attended PAP Kindergarden from 1998 - 2000, Braddell Primary School in 2001, First Toa Payoh Primary School from 2002-2006 and currently studying in Beatty Secondary School. I am a Normal Academic student and holding on to six subjects which are English, Elementary Mathematics, Chinese, Combined Science, Combined Humanities and Design and Technology. This year, I will be taking seven Normal level papers and one Ordinary level English paper.
My greatest wish in life is to travel around the world with my family or friends and be a happy person. I think that is how life should be :) My level of maturity depends on who I am with.
I am from the National Police Cadet Corps and held the post of Assistant Head of Administration and Secondary Two Squad Mentor. In 2008, I was chosen to participate in the NPCC Annual Parade in Home Team Academy. In 2009, I took part in the National Day Parade as a member of the NPCC contingent. In my own unit, I was in the Guard Of Honor Contingent in 2009 and 2010. After the National Day Parade, under NPCC, I went for the five days four nights Outward Bound Singapore Camp in Pulau Ubin. I also feel honored to be one of the 30 cadets who went for the seven days and six nights NPCC Overseas Educational Trip to Hong Kong and Macau from 17 November 2009 to 23 November 2009.
