the many things that happen recently

LOTS OF THINGS HAPPENED RECENTLY!!!

hmm last week.
thursday.
went to visit my popo and saw my uncle's new house at Queenstown. still on its way to completion but its nice! even the new fridge and washing machine are already there. maybe after my exam i'll just visit my popo more often!
oh good news! i found my piano exam theory paper. real unexpected.

friday.
had OCP - Philippines trip briefing in school. more or less the last briefing before a 'training' will be conducted days before we head to Philippines.
bus-ed to YOG bbq at Bishan in the evening with Nich.B and HongKiat. met ChengJie and SeokCheng and my secondary school friend. the food is great. nice time bbq-ing. Nich.B brought marshmellow home... really budget ttm!! shopped around Bishan Mall with JinRong when he met us after our bbq session. saw an Espirit jacket i like! i wanna buy. =/ but it cost nearly $130.

saturday.
preparation for upcoming AC subcom 2D1N camp on the coming Tuesday-Wednesday. whole day gone just by doing  game trials. its fun though but tiring. one thing is due to i slept real late the night before =/ but well, ate dinner with AC peeps and went home with KeMing.

sunday.
KITE DAY!!! met Hector and TingWei at SengKang. not a good day. very very sunny and not much wind. it's so unstable that after a few metres in the air, the wind stop. the kite drop. :( sadded. gave up flying. we picnic in the middle of the field. decided to head to airport for dinner. that's when the wind begin to pick up but well, airport here we come. ate Waraku pasta. bloated. the set we ordered is so worth that there are too many dishes to consume. headed to Crowne Plaza for cake dessert. D24 durian and Chocolate cake are the ones i like best. bus-ed home.

monday.
NATIONAL DAY!!! SINGAPORE IS 45 YEARS OLD!!! this year national day was at Padang. went to celebrate with Hector and TingWei. didn't really celebrate. we're not that patriotic. or at least i'm not. just came together to watch the fireworks. before Hector met us, we went to stroll around Orchard. did window shopping. went to eat Carl's Junior to meet Hector for dinner. then there we go, 3 of us, heading to watch our first firework together!!!

tuesday-wednesday.
AC first subcom 2D1N camp. we, 15 maincom are the organisers. heard that previously are all workshops, not camp. hmm.. camp was.. well.. fun to a certain extent. slept in the tent. it was warm, stuffy and got bitten by mosquitoes!! i seriously cannot take it. also, i just feel so sticky all over due to perspiring like mad despite taking a bath before i sleep. =/ moreover, i really lack of sleep there. slept around 330am and woke up around 615am!? :( i dunno how guys are going to survive in NS. i'm alr dying in this camp. just like suffering, felt like torture. break camp around 6pm. left early with KeMing around 7pm. slept anywhere. sitting, on the bus, practically anywhere i can rest without being disturbed!

thursday.
home the whole day. piano in the evening. Grade 7 Piano exam on October 30, Saturday, 2-5pm. it's confirmed. except the venue is yet to be told. i'm scared!!! still unsure of so many stuff! SAVE ME!

friday.
collected YOG uniform and pass at YOG HQ with TingWei. then took mrt to Changi airport to eat MacDonald for lunch. Hector came late!! i guess he was sleeping like pig. studied there with TW and Hec. well.. quite productive. Hec left hours later for badminton with his classmates.
after studying, TW and i wanted to head to the viewing mall to see planes. before that, TW went to try out the punching thingy set up at Terminal3 for YOG event. WAAAA he got more than 700 score!! 741 i guess. the record was 742!! just one more point he would have broke the record! the first time he tried (i guess was last saturday/sunday) the score was average~ but this time he got 741!!! seriously WAAAA. i didn't expect that! he tried 4 times. 1st 500+. 2nd 650+. 3rd 680+. 4th 741!!!! congrats to him! first medal in his 19years of life!! after the 'celebration' of his first medal (taking an instant print photo) we went to the viewing mall. SADLY it is under construction :( no planes to see!! unlucky us =/ perhaps next time. went to Crowne Plaza for their 50% off cakes again! tried the cake i didnt eat previous. some blueberry yoghurt cake. not bad. but still, D24 and chocolate cake is still the best. left early. bus-ed home!

P.S the war won't end!!! i haven't officially lose!! :) (you know who i'm refering to)

SATURDAY POST (25/4)

last day of my course camp. beginning to lose my voice. weather is freaking hot and humid. it's like a drought is beginning in Singapore!

first day of camp(yesterday), we were separated into groups. there are a total of 3 groups, X-men, Fantastic4, Teen Titans. guess which group am i in? i'm in the Teen Titans! =) our group is the most hyper ones. we scream and shout like nobody business because we have those very enthusiatic peeps, while other groups are much quieter compared to ours. had the usual ice breaking >> TP mass dance >> learnt TP hand-sign language song >> breaking the guiness world record human wheel barrow challenge >> dinner outside school >> some "scary" night walks >> ghost stories >> wash up >> lights out (we had class night meeting instead) >> games among ourself >> next day.

for the wheel barrow challenge, it's damn tough. when you see others doing it, you will think it's easy peasy. yet when you try it, your arms can tire and you will have stomach cramps. it's like lifting weights a lot of times and doing sit ups till your body could not take it. anyway, got a goodie-bag after that and a certificate that we had participate for this event. then, for the night walk, to me it's not scary at all. it's like some crappy shit. i could laugh and just walk through the whole thing without anyone accompanying me. next, for the 'lights out', our class had a gathering and we talk about ghost stories at TP sports complex. nice time bonding with them. i like my classmates!! =) then for the games, we went back to those tutorial classrooms and played Indiana poker, losers have to choose truth or dare. it was then some secrets spilled out. =/ kinda embarrassing after that. about 7 of us stayed awake through the night! it's my first time successfully not sleeping for 24 hours!! but, i fell into a short nap right after the 24th hour! haha.

well, Saturday we ate breakfast in the engineering sauna canteen. the fans are not on. although it is naturally ventilated, there air is super still. after that, we had something like "amazing race". had lots of fun! like playing with flour and having a game similar to street soccer. then, listen to a talk by the 3rd years about their internship then had some team building game after that. left after the game while they continued to have fun. i left as i had to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. by the way, i saw Derrick in school. he is trying on his graduating clothes.

went to my grandma's house. ate at West Coast Plaza. the food is just normal even though it's a restaurant. also, the portion is super duper small. went back to cut the durian cake after eating dinner. the cake is AWESOME!! all durian with the sponge cake, no cream. FANTASTIC! =) toooo bad you can't taste it!

last day at grandma's

last day at grandma's. just the same routine. morning breakfast. then maple. bought lunch with grandma. back home again. fetch little cousin back from school. came home and another cousin just came home from her primary school and start her Tamil lesson. after Tamil lesson she went for Chinese tuition. i guess primary school kids could not be let off from tuition too!! i wonder how many things are they learning.. cramp up in their little brain.

had my dinner at 5 plus!! my grandma was like shooing me to go home!! she said 7pm is so late and dangerous. i guess her 7pm is equivalent to my midnight... i was like pissed off... i wasn't or you could say NEVER pissed off by her till then. she was literally trying to get rid of me out of her house to go home!! but anyway, i did have a great time there. i get any food i want and i could maple and watch videos.. like a paradise! but well.. all joy will end soon. the day the O level result will be out is on 12January, this coming Monday at 2pm. I'm quite worried and scared already. just a few more days to really play hard and it will all be over soon...

have to go Temasek Polytechnic tomorrow morning for the Polytechnic Preparatory Programme Orientation... troublesome... and i seriously have a tinge of regret because of going to polytechnic.. =( anyway, what's done is done.. but i really felt that i'd act in haste by accepting to polytechnic so fast. ok.. have to sleep already. got to wake up early!!

grandma's house

as usual, i have to wake up early in the morning to eat breakfast. if you want to join us for breakfast, you'll have to wake up by 7.30am! as our breakfast starts at 8am! anyway, i awoke earlier than that. there were mosquitoes stinging me and it prevented me from sleeping! i couldn't take it and i even feel like going home. yet, there was a thing that changed my mind. my uncle downloaded maple in his computer!! i could maple for like unlimited hours! =) i only have to stop when he is back from work.

after breakfast, accompany my grandma to the wet market. it was a nostalgia. it made me remind of myself when i was young... the sights the sounds and old aunts and uncles and even the stench of fresh fish.

then, accompanied my grandma to bring my little cousin home. back from my old kindergarten!! i studied at Clementi Woods. it's a christian school. now, my cousin studies there too. the kindergarten had changed a lot! it has completely renovated. cool environment too! my cousin did not cry when he's schooling. anyway, he was too naughty and a bully to cry!

help my grandma do some decoration on her wall for Chinese New Year. from a plain white wall, i had made a tree out from it. the 'paper' was bought form IKEA. I'm satisfied with what I've done!

mapled. now level 43 already. watching a drama "fringe" as i type this post. it's a nice show. very interesting and captivating. should watch! =) really. first episode and the first few minutes could already catch your attention and make you want to watch the show.

may maple again at night if i could. ok i got to go to watch my show! =)

began my overnight stay at Grandma's

yesterday, i called the GRC to ask if i could get my edusave cheque. guess what?? i was lucky enough and they told me i could go to collect on 12 January!! =) i was overjoyed! the reason i gave was family gathering. hahas.

help my dad wipe the windows.. it was quite an easy job though. however, do remember that Punggol is also famous for HDB having ceiling to floor windows!! my dad and i cleaned the windows for the coming Chinese New Year. now it is sparkling clean!! i could see miles and miles away through my window. =)

finally, the maple server maintenance is over. i mapled a while then head to grandma house to begin my overnight stay..

my grandma cooked many food for me. mutton curry, fish, vegetables, and some mixed egg-tofu with minced meat. it's delicious!!

watched TV and slept soon after..
