She Says.

I did it. Shaved off a few more precious seconds and i did what i aim before i took on the Go-Kart this morning at Permas race track. 57secs, under 1minute. Exactly what i wanted to achieve. Any oh how. I’m hooked on Go-Karting now thanks to Jas and Julian. 

It’s weird. How a small little thing like that could give me a milligram of boost in the confidence department. I lost it somehow, a long time ago.

St Nicks Lastchillout. 

It was an awesomely pleasant night with the comfort food of familiar tastes and old school flavour. Even though the music was way too loud and the lights were way too dim (i have night blindness), the whole event was GREAT. It was a rare opportunity to see so many old girls of St Nicks coming together, enjoying the atmosphere of nostalgia and good times.

Saw many old Old girls and many of them were part of the Cool Senior infatuation days, when we used to gush over how cool or how pretty That senior was. It was also incredibly heartwarming to see everyone getting so excited when the Family Dance song, Line Dance song, Mambo No. 5 song, Secondary School Mass Dance song, Primary School Mass Dance song etc etc, were played towards the end of everything. Memories of how a large part of our school time were spent not in the classroom but on the field waving flags and forming formations that resembled North Korea’s army came flooding back. 

I’m a St Nicks fan.

A nice little TGIF spent at an old favourite hangout. The familiar atmosphere with busy waiters who ignore your presence, crazily oily but equally delicious Mee-Goreng and the constant premonition that you’re going to bumpinto someone you know There.  

So while waiting patiently for Mr Jerome-Who-Was-Late, i had the out of control Teh-tarik keeping me company. Can almost feel the love from the Indian uncle who managed to pull the Teh into such a lovely frothy cuppa. Even the Yakun in Boonlay is no where near that kind of Standard.

I miss hanging out in Thomson. I hate Jurong. Cheers, i’m outta Cave, at least for the weekends.

The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler, A Zebra Crossing Production.

Last minute decision to catch this before it ends this week. I am excited, can’t wait for the play this weekend. Cheers.

Chairlift/Evident Utensil

I’m in love with this song. Heard it while watching the new Ipod Nano TV ad and made me chance upon another song by the Chairlift. Awesome discovery. 

Now, time to start work again as my poor Saturday is about to enter Sunday. Makes me sad just to think of heading back to crazy busy school/hall. Sighs. What did i even do during Recess Week ?  I’m so scared for school to start. My afternoon nap churned out a really nasty nightmare (about hall) and it affected my mood for the rest of the day. Great job. 

How hard must i try.

Total Distance = 35km

Total Cyclists = 140

Route = NTU to East Coast Park

Time Taken = 11:30PM to 6:00AM

So yeah, Hall 2 annual Night Cycling is finally over. It was 2 days ago but my fat arse is still sore. And i’m still damn shagged from the lack of sleep. Got home and has barely 3hours of sleep that day before going off to Gavin’s for pigeon BBQ (at Bukit Batok) and rushing off to Aaron’s 21st (at Pasir Ris) again halfway though. Weow. After some underwear tearing session (the boys) and overdue lantern burning ceremony, we decided to drive to Terminal 3 for more chilling out. Chilled out with the Yeahras till about 5AM before we decided to call in a day. Roars.

Today is probably one of the coldest day in Singapore’s history. Awesome. But now that i got to do laundry myself back in hall, wet weather worries me cos’ i worry about them all the time when i’m in class. “Shuwei So Aunty”.. Get that all the time. 

Got back home this morning after a night of mahjong at Wing’s room. Totally felt like i was in chalet all over again. But TGIF in hall is actually quite happening cos’ people actually do it the tgif way in style over there. There is even a Pub in campus (called the Mayflower – I know, Chees-seh) and we hung out there after Preview with Asahi beers and silly games. Tgif huh.

Obviously in some serious deprival of sleep after yet another busy hellish busy week in hall, i finally caught up with it and slept like never before just now. Missed dinner and some exciting Olympics moments completely. And resultant ? I really want to sleep early tonight but my sleeping clock is completely thwarted. Roars. Someone just knock me out please.

Can’t believe tomorrow is Sunday already and i will be back in Cocoa-Smell island. But before i drag my big fat ass back there, i have a whole pile of assignments and readings to be completed. All these were piled and accumulated since the start of the week and especially thinking about my close to 100 pages worth of readings is like shoving a piece of tissue paper and a ball of hair down my throat – I can’t breathe.

I really need to stop being such an ass in my time management.

For now, i just can’t wait for D&D to be over so that i can have my nights to myself. But oh wells, by then dswei won’t be around anymore for company so foresee many lonesome nights ahead. No one is going to visit me in hall anymore. Sighs

Think i better get going. Need to be ready for a day of assignments tomorrow. Rooars.

Finally resubmitted my Matriculation Photo. I can’t help but feel like a second class citizen in NTU since i appealed in. Somehow, just somehow i always ended up being informed waaay later than the rest. CS FOC camp was like that (in fact i wasn’t informed at all. I went to the blog myself and signed up myself lor.), the really annoying matric photo resubmission thing and now the Hall issue. Roars. It is draining away my initial excitement for school to start se-ri-iously. I was reeally excited.

Anyhow, this weekend was pretty fine. Not too tiring or hectic, just the way i like it. Yesterday was back with Dswei at St Nicks to deliver my Uber rusty and bad speech at the P6 Tea Party. Been a long while since i did public speaking yo. But who cares ! I was just glad to be able to be back at St Nicks just to, you know, Hang Around. Got off to get my bed sheets and Etceteras for Hall. Think my Mum got confused with the fact that i will be moving in into A Room (a very Small room that is) and not exactly into a place that is bigger than A Room. She is buying and planning to buy so many things, as if i’m moving in into a place with a Kitchen, Living Room, Store Room, Balcony and so on. You get my point. Tried convincing her to get me one of those portable Air-Con or cooler or whatever you call it though. But Mama says a Fan is still the way to go.. Alright then.

Saturday night was spent with Jerome and friends for his birthday party at MOS. The crowd was better than the last time i was there with the girls and had quite some fun burning away the Calories. Surprisingly i didn’t get any hangover this morning when i woke up. Contrary to my long history of Allergy to alcohol, i think my body has been training itself for resistance. Good job, Body.

Woke up to my sister’s voice when she just got home from her trip to the US. Was equally excited for her to come home and to see what did she get for her little sister. Got my Ab-Wheel too ! Bought from Amazon a few weeks ago cos after some Trial&Test with Dswei’s, and i was convinced that it will help shape my overly undefined Flabs into Abs.

Went down to Tampines to catch Dswei’s Floorball match this afternoon and Thank God i made it just in time before the game ended and could actually see her in some Floorball action in her High Socks and Knee-Length Shorts. Haha. Headed back home after that and had home-cooked food ! Been awhile since i actually sit down and have a proper dinner with my family. What have i been up to ?

Tomorrow marks the last week of pure slacking and bumming around. Foresee the week after to be a crazy week of Hall camp or moving in. And then before i know it. Let’s snap your fingers – School starts !

I don’t want my holiday to end.
