its been 11 days since i last posted, which is the longest so far not by choice but by circumstance in recent history...
there's a pun on history coz i still have a history essay to do which i can't complete as my history text is in school...
i didn't get a chance to go into class to get my stuff on founder's day, so yeah...
it was slightly raining in the morning, so we all thought the parade would be called off and so half my level was in the sac, but at about 745 they asked us to go down, while it was still raining significantly...
so the smart ones, some teachers included, opened umbrellas and just tried not to get wet, which kinda distracted us from what was going on in the front...
let's just say the rest of the festivities were dressed in prada... =)
went with yewjin/sean to thai express holland v for curry on the first of 4 really cold, wet days, which were totally welcome given the heat of the days that preceded...
went back to school for the symposium rehearsal till 3...
oh i must mention my council interview the day before...
it went pretty well, though my phone vibrated really loudly twice, but there was good reason coz i was running the interclass debates at the same time!
the last three days of the past 11 have been way better than the rest, and i'm glad the last week of term 1 starts off on such a nice note...
but before that, let me rant about cabs...
i've had FOUR horrible experiences in as many days:
thursday's cab ride to school cost be a zillion dollars coz the guy took the commonwealth route and i was stuck in the queue of cars waiting to turn right into dover road from buona vista station, and ppl kept cutting illegally!
when i drive in the future i will never EVER allow that...
then on friday, i decided to take the expressway instead, and it would have gone really well if not for this 3-car pileup at the narrowest point of the AYE, and it forced traffic to meander around the cars that were on lanes 3 and 1... WHY OF ALL DAYS?!
then yesterday (sat), i was afraid i was gonna be late for my meeting with jill/elliot and i had missed my bus, and no cabs stopped for me until 503pm which totally drove me nuts...
and i took my second surcharged cab ride to sam's place after, so i've spent like 40odd bucks just on taxis so far... urgh
right, friday...
post-traumatic cab ride, i went to cpa2 to watch some more of batman begins on my iPod while waiting for assembly to end, then rushed to get my chem practs printed before the symposium started...
reading out the questions and everything was pretty fun, though there were 2 instances where the answers were wrong, and i was ever glad i could excuse myself coz i long left alice (and 2 others) in wonderland... x)
went to meet han an in the chem lab coz i had met him in the morning, and it was pretty cool that the rest of the ppl i was planning to meet were all in the same lab...
went for lunch with yewjin/ronald/xinquan/clarence/elendrus/joel(who came later) before going to see kevin/winghing/wengngai at the new labs...
then i spent the next 4 hours helping out at the bouncing egg booth, which was pretty fun coz there was sexyback... shackles!!
stopped for cheesecake at plaza sing on the way home with clarence...
caught up with heroes and one tree hill on sat before meeting jillian/elliot at kap to finish our chinese oral assessment script...
then it was off to miche's debate gathering at sam's place...
most of the ppl in attendance were from the dep lot of 2004, like rachel/alessa/nalli/suhas/shang/mark/jonauyong/kal/terrence/joshhoe/samchan/paul..
chatted during dinner amidst the liverpool-manutd match...
then it was a marathon 4 hour game of monopoly, punctuated by a late-night walk and ben&jerry's ice-cream...
abandoned the game to just chat at around 1plus where only kal/auyong/miche/sam/paul/me were left...
super funny conversation, and everyone but paul/me left at around 2...
blog-hopped a bit before sleeping at 3plus, and 4 hours later it was off to church...
lunched at carl's jr marina square with sam/jake/rachh, then slept till 7...
waitin' on u,
jlc(aines).
