the good bits of the holidays are running low. I am going to use the last few days to tie up the untied ends of the many assignments and projects.
actually I am only going to begin on some of the projects. since I am going to be away most of the time for SYF next week, I am slightly worried about the projects' progress...
anyway before I sink back into all that abovementioned stuff, a quick trip down memory lane for the past few days.
the last week was the week to relax as I went many many places. sometimes for a purpose, mostly just for fun. I remember going esplanade for BMGT project discussion that includes window shopping at marina square, PC Show and the Singapore Flyer just for Popeye which didnt taste as good on Thursday and yet another trip back to PC Show to get the Epson CX7300, which I will talk about in another post when I bother to take some photos.
this monday was training for SYF marching contingent. we learnt the most basic drills involving turning left, right, back, actual marching and marching on the spot as well as the 9 beats salute (whatever it is called). since I am not from uniformed groups it is kinda like a crash course for me.
the training was sweltering hot since it is at kismis and we continued into 2pm since we were behind time. every once in a while there is a water break and I would go chat with dear lol.
the thing ended at about 2 but the I/C faith hong didnt come till 2.30 and remained uncontactable before that, so we literally stoned at the void deck at one of the staff apartments for over half an hour.
then its dismissal and we went to funan to collect my notebook. but the lady there told me the LCD has arrived and they can change it by the next day (tuesday). so it is yet another wasted trip.
went for dinner somewhere but I forgot. blame my poor memory.
tuesday we went to library to study. it isnt very fruitful if I remember correctly. we were watching 命中注定我爱你 before we got chased out by the security guard since he claimed the library is only for research and not for gaming and videos, even if the only thing we are using are two spots near the pillar on the floor without power supply. k lo anything.
go mac instead to finish up the show and bought nuggets meal. yum? then collect notebook at funan again. yay no more scratched screen with dead pixel. I think we went home for dinner.
wednesday was movie outing with sheng siong friends. most people are on time except junwei. but his presence was already a miracle in itself so its alright.
we had breakfast at mac (again?) while waiting for junwei to finish his 满汉全席 at home and rush down. but apparently he spent the time waiting for his mum to buy breakfast which she forgot.
then go cinema and realised the 10.35 screening had started for over 10 minutes. we wasted another 15 debating whether to go in. junwei wants to watch kungfu panda. peifong dowan watch a movie that has started halfway, lihong has no money to travel to woodlands, yingkang and junwei finds it lame going down to woodlands for just a movie.... yay.
eventually we settled on the next slot at 1.50pm. in the meantime go NTUC walk walk, go watsons walk walk, then go Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao for lunch (or brunch for junwei).
ying kang and I share some la mian whose name I forgot immediately after my order. it is 605 on the menu though. it isnt too spicy or salty, so its alright I guess. it is quite a big bowl btw. the girls shared 2 bowls among the 3 of them while junwei took one huge 麻辣 one and he looks half-dead.
finally figured some way to split the 44.60 bill then go watch get smart lo.
it is one of the best comedies in a while. the story isnt lousy but still there is plenty of humour. everyone in the cinema kept laughing and laughing. I laughed till I felt pretty tired lol. its good, maybe a 4/5. it lost some points at the start as the fun only starts somewhere in the middle.
then sent dear to causeway point (wth) to meet her sec sch friends for another movie. she had a bad stomachache midway and went to the washroom but didnt come out for quite a while. I called and smsed her a few times. I swear I would have asked one of the ladies entering the washroom to check on her if she still didnt come out lol.
turns out its very bad constipation or something. and her stomach is still having some dull pain. so I was a little apprehensive when she still insisted on going for the movie. but its her choice la. then I take train home lo.
thursday was study day. we met at library and I did manage to clear some homework. did a bit of shopping to waste time, then she came my house for dinner lol. didnt expect her to say ok since I was just asking for fun. but there is plenty of food from the processions at home in the morning, it is good having another person help clear it haha.
and she ended up playing some private maple server on her laptop using my power and my internet access at my house after that. irony. and I sent her home. we left her laptop at the seats at the void deck of another block. she only called me a good 10 plus minutes after we left and I rushed back to check. luckily it was still there and luckily I havent boarded the 157 that had just arrived.
oh, this is what we bought..
matching slippers lol. we are looking for slippers with a strap behind anyway. and they are not that easy to find unless you want to spend more. and since John Little is having GSS, we bought it together haha.
I know my toes are a bit weird. I crack it too often I guess. or maybe its the small shoes I wore during primary school. lol.
