hahaha okay, i so totally did not realise the extent of my blog being stagnant. the last update was monday!

hm, let me see. the earliest interesting thing that happened took place on thursday. let me do this update thing in an orderly fashion, okay?

Thursday, 27 Mar 08
straight after the bell rang, i packed up my bag in lightning speed and zoomed out of class. i went to the locker, grabbed my phone and immediately went down to the concourse, where i had to meet shao jean at 2.20PM. we had math tuition and her mother was sending the both of us there.

i caught sight of her mother's white Lexus and went after it. but it made one whole round and i was hopelessly tailing after it, damning my stupidity of creeping up behind it. so finally, it pulled up aside and i breathlessly opened the door, noticing that shao jean wasn't in the car yet. after asking where shao was, i saw her figure coming down the concourse stairs. so i stuck my hand up and then went into the car. after she got into the car, we zipped off to Mac's for drive-through lunch.

there was a long queue and after we got our lunches, we stuffed them into our mouths, frantically trying to finish them up. math tuition was at 2.45PM, but we turned up at around 2.50PM.

during math tuition, sze smsed me and told me that she was travelling towards coronation plaza, going to scout for tshirt shops that would print our class shirt (for the olympics) within 48 hours. after math tuition, she called and told me how the search was going. fortunately, we managed to find a person that would print our shirt by friday evening as long as we send him the design by thurday evening.

when i reached home, there was only my brother. so i turned on the tv and watched some junk. sze called again and asked if i could go online to see the design. i went online and she sent me the design.

i modified the design and got two rough templates. sze helped me ask around 4Tians who were online which one they preferred. then jong suggested a definition and bible verse. so i added that in, added in colours and then sent it to the shirt person. after negotiations on both sides, i finally got that settled.

the whole process was pretty stressful and nerve-wracking because this was a CLASS thing, which meant that all 28 people in 4T had to relatively accept this tshirt and like it. and since i was the one who ended up designing it, i was afraid of being condemned if it turns out disgusting or something.

after everything about the shirts was settled, i went into the kitchen and started on my chawanmushi. i hustled and bustled around in the kitchen, past midnight, trying to steam them to perfection. but i was missing so many ingredients, like sake and crabmeat, so i was worried that it would turn out to be a flop. after trying to steam it for one hour plus, but to no avail, i decided to let it set. maybe it will be better next morning.

my head hit the pillow at 0130 and i crashed.

LUNCHBOX DAYYYY.

we sat in our Circle of Trust and produced food. only me and natw bought home-cooked/hand-made food. they were relatively well-received and people said that we could set up restaurants! i was quite pleased when i heard that. hahaha. yeah we had neon lights, honey stars, chips, cookies and lots more. me, sze and natw had this totally lame competition to see how many honey stars our mouth can contain. "mfffmfmfmfm!" hahaha. I WON OKAY. with thirty freaking soggy honey stars in my mouth. sze got 23 and natw 25. good game, though!

yeah then it ended and the day went past relatively quickly. english and math weren't bad. and then GEL came and i was in the jingle committee. ROMANCING SINGAPORE. it's so cute, i swear. but zipppppppp, my lips are sealed.

physics remedial next and we aired our questions. it did help! and then i waited for sze in the class, my stomach hurting at irregular intervals. then i went to shit. and when i came back, i wrote 4TFIED on the board, decided to go outside and wait for sze. as i was walking towards the door, this figure suddenly came into view and SCREAMED in my face. turned out to be sze wing, of course. nobody else would scream unnecessarily.

we walked to the bus stop opposite mg and waited for 171/77. our buses. haha. 171 came and we boarded it.

WE MISSED THE STOP.

and when we got off at marina square, we were like shit! how to get to bras basah? we went into a Starbucks and asked. they gave us directions, but i swear we're like two navigation-idiots. no sense of direction. so in the end, my mom let me take a cab to bras basah and we reached in time.

for what? for my contacts! i reached that place and the nice aunty was going to teach my how to wear and remove contacts. i had to cut my fingernails first though. haha yeah, so when i was cutting the nail of my third finger, she suddenly 'oh! i forgot to tell you that you only had to cut the nails of the thumb and index finger.' i could only produce a stiff smile.

haha, but regardless, i chopped my nails off, washed my hands, dried them and went out. where she was going to teach me how to wear my contacts in front of everybody! oh well, i tried. i caught on surprisingly fast, the aunty said. then my mom and the aunty started being very... aunty. "aiyah, vain mah!" whatev.

so with sze and my family, we went to raffles city to have dinner, where the shirt guy called and told me that he had our shirts ready, do i want to get it now? in the end, it was decided that he send it to my house at around 8. me and sze had a prata dinner and then we went back home. i showed her this chinese magazine which had a wonderful picture of Prada's latest series of nymphs and flowers. and Miu Miu's baby doll dresses. then the guy called and said that he was here already. so me and sze headed down.

we saw the shirt guy and he handed us the humongous bag of tshirts. i excitedly grabbed one out and LO AND BEHOLD, out shirt is damn nice la! i only hope that the rest of 4T would love it. we paid. i forked out 260 and borrowed another 50 from my dad. ALL FROM MY SAVINGS OKAY. because my dad said that he'll deduct the 50 dollars from my allowance. so all you 4T people better return your respective 11 dollars! haha.

we went back up and sorted through the shirts. the sizes were slightly wrong though! but i don't know. i think it turned out fine in the end.

sze went home at nine.

SEC 4 OLYMPICS!
4T's Ethiopia.

we rock! haha i was in handball, and morale was sorta low because we were totally trashed in the first two games. but after we scored our FIRST EVER goal in the third game, we went CRAZY. "WHOOOO, OHMYGOSH!" hahaha, we were like screaming and hi-fiving and hugging. morale went upppp and we scored another five goals. THREE POINTS! if we get another three points, then we just might be able to squeeze into the semi-finals.

the last game with G was fun! it ended up being a draw, which we agreed was the ultimate happy ending. we were so proud of our sister class! they were Japan and their handball team ended up being second! Ivfen's such a good goalkeeper and their group was really good.

G also won overall in floorball! i was damn proud of them! jacq was like, woah! hidden potential! hahaha.

melinda injured herself though. and it was scary, for a while, to see her cry. i hope she's fine now.

oh yeah, i wore my contacts for the first time during the olympics. it was okay i guess. arvelia: where is your specs, audrey? hahah.

yeah well, after that, i went to ACJC's fun-o-rama with jacq, sze and av. met pau, mel and claire t there. pau came along with us and jacq had to leave early for church. we went around for a while more before leaving for KAP. me sze and av had student meals there and we stayed around until 6. av left first because her mom came earlier. then me and sze took retarded pictures, imitating natasha. someone whom you think you might know, but you don't actually know, so don't guess!





hahah yeah, retarded.
