and guess what, lunch was skipped, dinner hasn't been prepared. i think this is the day i ate the least[wow.] [vegetarian bee hoon for breakfast, peanut pancake as snack at 1pm, brownies smeared with nutella and a cup of milk at 6pm]. alright..not all that little.

SHIT I JUST MISSED NINJA WARRIOR! ): - 9.10pm

ok..this post is seriously interrupted by many things, since before i move on, my dinner's taking on centerstage! Healthy & delicious pasta (it has carrots AND celery), pam's expertise at the microwave conjured up this delectable meal for one, to provide me with energy to type out the rest of this post. what would have made it out of this world would be some company...

the sauce. (maybe it's a little too much...)

plus the pasta (:

Alrighties! back on to the mundanes of my life.

starting with saturday[13th june], (since friday was shamefully boring of surfing the net), it was a pretty hectic day. My intention to get up into one of orchard's starbucks by noon was hindered by house chores and well, my usual slowness. Still, managed to settle into Heeren's Spinelli with a cup of Chcolate twist (it's just ice-blended chocolate) at 2pm, and started on Chenchel's birthday card. that spent half an hour away, before i finally started on math - Permutations and Combinations. a frustrating subject for a person with little logic, and thankfully i had more than a little, but still, one and a half hours only got me through 5 questions? Sometime among that, Gimlim dropped by with David Waugh, an expertise on geography. Waugh stayed on with me at the table quietly stressing me with geog, while i frustrated over math.

at 4.15pm, it was time to head over to *scape where QUIS [david's band] performed some jap songs for Singapore Street Fest. [Liu] Min was supposed to accompany me for the mugging session as well as the performance, but she was somewhere else. So i met aleee, michelle & her boyfriend...and then junfu and john....and then edwin {by this time, the performance was already over} Took a bit of photos, caught up with david, before i had to rush down with Waugh to Somerset MRT to meet Shihui, another dear drama senior. Min came then, missing the gig completely, and apparently was looking around the wrong event area for me.

Jasmine coincidentally popped up, and we stood around discussing all things Jap. Soon, Waugh twin number 2 came, I thanked Waugh's babysitter, then left with Min and the Waugh twins back to attempt to pose with cosplayers from Vampire Knight. alas, both cosplayers left, and so the quartet of us headed for cineleisure. by this time, i decided not to head on to holland V for chenchel's birthday dinner at Swensen's regrettably, as it was drizzling and carrying Waugh twins around are no mean feat. Met up with aleee and gang, at Heeren's Pasta de Waraku, before i left Min there for dinner and headed for my next destination - Breadtalk. and the closest was Wisma. and so i speedwalked manouvering around crowded saturday orchard choppers, bought cake, and headed down to sunset way [still with Waugh twins, they were accompanying me home]

This party, exclusive to SG24 members, was held at yanka's house, where pizza, China coke, cake, chips, chicken wings and rice crackers were abound. played some failed drinking game(which i finally learnt properly at chalet), and sang Isabelle a Happy 17th Birthday song! soon enough, the pool closed and no one swam, and everyone left except me, joyce and mad on to yanka's house. for a party, leaving at 10pm is rather early, but you gotta consider the 15 minute deserted walk out to the main road , and people living real far away. We played Asshole/Rectum daidee, while waiting for my parents to come pick me up. ta da. an end to my saturday the 13th. sadly we didn't take any photos of the SG24 party, and didn't eat any of the cold cakes! [we only fed off mad's japanese light cheesecake]

my recuperating sunday was spent with Meredith Bancroft and Matthew Farrell in Paradise. My last two posts dated on sunday/monday were due to literary-inspired-syndrome, where my mind just becomes engrossed in literature. My only break from the book, was caused by my tuition teacher turning up on the doorstep, which i was pretty unprepared for. once that was over...back to the book! yes, non-stop reading of 709-pages of romance turmoil, all the way into monday. in between reading was the snail-bitingly slow process of producing the captain's present for hockey handover. [ironically it should be the book was distracting the production process.] so, if you figured under all that prose, i didn't sleep till i finished the book.

Monday. a fine line to be drawn, overlapped with sunday, but i spent the morning sleeping from 8am to noon. just a precautionary measure to prevent me from keeling over and fainting from lack of sleep later. moved aimlessly around the house for the next three hours, before i left for the chalet, so that i wouldn't get too high too early with everyone around [it takes a lot of energy to be around people, and i have very little of that on that day], cooked an unsatisfactory lunch.

arrived at costa sands close to 5pm. where i joined in the bridging club in the cooler air-conditioned room before dinner. as usual, i don't eat much at barbeques, played more bridge, and participated in some camwhoring so favoured by my team. I skipped the Saw premier in the living room and went up to play MORE bridge, while waiting for handover to start. looking at how much effort the juniors put into the handover itself, i was really touched, and a little embarressed at the state of the previous years'. but also, it shows that next year's team is in real good hands! after the Video, there's the receiving of presents on the senior's side, then the official announcement of EXCO positions. Captains' speeches, one real heart-wrenching, while the other ended with anti-climax [seriously, i can never get the effect i want with speeches. they either convey the wrong mood, or end too abrubtly :/]

after that was more camwhoring, and I again, stayed with the BBQ pit like an old hen mother or chaperone. while the girls went off to the beach and pool. sometimes i wonder if i'll ever truly relax and be able to shuck off that responsible attitude of mine. and so, there was chicken wings and chicken breast leftover, and then ICE was the next to be barbequed.right. when the girls came back, we played the torturous drinking game with water [it should be called 'who has the biggest bladder!'] and i a little twister with the junior girls. there was the most silent game of mahjong ever, and then norman challenged the 'TWISTER MASTER' to the floor. the master retained her title! woohoo! went to sleep sometime there= 5.30am.

woke up with the sun in my face on tuesday morning. had breakfast, went cycling, and just as i thought i was going to emerged unscathed from the two hours of cycling, i had to get my big toe jammed in between the pedal and road curb. oucch. me no likey throbbing toe, it's very distracting before going to sleep. lunch after cycling, then me and derek left for home. both of us just slept all the way through from pasir ris to tiong bahru, and i alighted and walked back to an empty home close to 5pm. took my bath, unpacked, nursed my toe, did a little reading, and took a nap at about 8pm. was jolted awake closer to ten, for dinner. chicken rice. when you're tired, food doesn't taste that good ): and i went back to my bed to sleep at 11pm. sleepy me.

wednesday's outing was pretty aburpt. i only got the message sometime during my nap the day before.met sijing, yujie, christie and crystal at vivocity, and the rest came soon after. joyene, nanthini and melody. a crescent hockey lunch outing..we headed to Fig and Olives for the meal, the cheapest we could find without walking too much and without walking into a fast food restaurant. the meal was good, the company was great. although I could say that for me, most of the outing was an observation session of my past teammates. they've changed so much, away from the safe haven called crescent, i've been away for far too long. we adjourned to topshop, forever 21 and puma for window shopping, before going up to the hot hot roof for some camwhoring. after that was relief to my dessert craving for cake at Bakerzin! the half-price New York Cheesecake just hit the right spot (: Nanthini left then, and then we went over to Harbourfront's foodcourt for some nerd mugging session! haha. unexpected for a hockey outing! left by about 6pm since i had tuition again at home. guess who was coincidentally huddled at the table behind us mugging! Leejing! haha. noticed her only when i was about to leave..until the next mugging session hockers!

photos on facebook for the events i described.

whew.

in the end, i still like my tablet and n95 phone the best. familarity breeds love. no? haha.

so much for studying.

concluded: 11.24pm
