JuneHols Week #1
May 24th to 30th
Well well.. Its been a worrisome, winding and wretched week!
Wednesday: GP Commons followed by a movie marathon of Over the Hedge (again :P) and X3! I honestly thought X3 was quite.. disloyal to the story line and practically ruined things for fans, but upon closer examination of the special revelation at the end, hmm...
Thursday: OHmygosh this day sucked balls lah. Thankfully there was Civics Elective in the morning whereby they finished up Emperor's Club. Proceeding this was 2 lectures, an hour break, 1 hour of makeup physics, an hour break, 1.5 hours of makeup chem, half an hour break and finally one hour of makeup physics again. If you got confused reading that, try and have your brain live through it lah..
Friday: Double-Driving Day! I spent almost 80 minutes doing basic right turns in the circuit.. Not because im lousy, but rather that the turning right means GIVING WAY, which i bloody hate (instructors, please ignore. I am sacrificial and selfless!). In between, i renewed an old friendship with Kathleen, formerly of Xordis fame. To end the day off, it was "Eat-With-Your-Family" day for civil servants, yet another diabolical excuse to end the working day early. My family went down to Taka for some shopping at Kino, after which we had PEPPER LUNCH, whereby both my memory and the cooks served it right.
Saturday: What started off lazy and malingerish (like all holidays) turned into a 6-hour long shopping fiesta! Nick and I initially planned to go down with Daryl and CW for some random GreatSingaporeSaleing, but we were soon joined by Beam and Shan. I spent $300! $150 on new shoes (parentally-sponsored, fret not), $50 on 3 new CDs (Texas, Jack Johnson, Christina Milian) from HMV vouchers, $40 on a tee at NewUrbanMale, miscellaneous (Billy Bombers! Food Republic! Cabfare since bus services ceased!). In the end, we stayed in town till 12plus, chatting while literally desserting our duties as guai children.
Sunday: Vball match! Some of the J1s and I signed up for a U19 Volleyball Open, to which 5/6 of the main members were at CCAL camp, forcing us noobs to play against the likes of Ghim Moh Sec Alumni O.o. We did much better than expected, considering we barely met quota of 7players and had no match experience as a team whatsoever.. Also, i hadnt played vball like this in almost half a year!
Monday: 350 MCQs, 4 hours. These are the impossible hurdles one must accomplish at the PSC PAE scholarship thingy.. Trust the government to torture potential scholars and map our mental and psychological profiles for their good. Had a nice chat and and caught up with Rilong, whom i've grown a bit distant to of late.
Tuesday: Chem makeup lecture from 11 to 12, followed by gymming at BishanSportsComplex with Congren. There, i coincidentally bumped into Ben, who was a gym virgin\.. Lunch and a looong chat later, and there was another volleybal match to attend to. Argh this one we got pwnzzed quite badly, with the Red Indians having more success than we did against the British and their guns. Meh. WE ROXXED WOO!
Whew, if any of you bothered reading through that.. Anyway, holidays are a good time to rekindle and renew friendships, which i'll be fervently doing with the excuse of GREAT SINGAPORE SALE. My gosh i've never realised the power of sales..
So, who wants to shop with me?
