days of our lives
Sunday, October 2
post-exam season is always great - a time of relaxation and unwinding. for this post-prelim season specifically, it was a time of good solid enjoyment, before the final push for the month before ib.
last week was a first for me, falling sick twice during a single exam period. haha, or even falling sick twice within a span of 1 week! not a relapse of the first, but a completely different one, heh. i've no idea how i even got it, but it was reeeeaaally terrible. but really have to thank God that both sick spells came over the long weekends when it wouldn't affect my attendance to the papers (: and that i got well in time to cram in some studying and go for the papers. so yep!
anyway, these past days have been really really enjoyable.
tuesday; the usual last day of exams celebration.
went to play a bit of lan (yes, i played lan, hahahaha!) while waiting for ben to finish his geog paper and cwo, and mong crushed me to bits in an rts game when i was still completely clueless. loj kindly taught me the basics of how to play after that... still definitely a noob on my part now, but at least i survived well in the next few games following that (: won the game with loj and shaun, against mong, jowong and seang! hoho!
ben, zack and matthew lee joined us later during lunch, and we showed our aunty side again, with some of us sharing the meal since the drinks at carl's jr. are all refillable hahaha XD oh my, looks like this aunty thing will never grow old with this group...
went to watch johnny english reborn at cathay after that, with darren joining us, and received some bad customer service from one of the girls at the refreshment counter. she couldn't count from 1 to 8 hahaha - she started at 3 and stopped at 8, and said she'd given me 8 drinks, hmmmm... calmly explained her error, having to repeat it a few times cos her mind really couldn't comprehend it. short-term memory loss maybe? haha. either way, in customer service, the customer is always right :D well she mouthed an f-word then plopped the last 2 drinks on the counter, but ah well, she was ruining her own day; no way anyone was ruining mine! silly moody girl. it gave me a good laugh though XD
wednesday; badminton with some of the bb primer bsers!
planned long long ago, the lot of us finally got to play badminton together like we'd wanted to for a while. with 8 of us - loj, shaun, ben, bynes, simmy, zack, klarissa - meeting at cck sports complex, we had a good 2 hours of fun there :D saw some of the true blue singapore aunties, who just booked 1 court, and were playing for free on all other empty courts that were available! hahaha oh my, i must applaud their methods at saving cost, it's really quite ingenious XD heh i realised my badminton skill isn't too good, especially with my strokes. can't hit proper drop shots, and can't respond properly to those high balls. but oh well! good fun!
went to yewtee point for lunch after that, and had myself a cup of gongcha! i bought the wrong flavour though, so i ended up getting a super creamy but super super
super sweet one! i really have no idea how people like ben can stand drinking this kinda stuff hahaha! so i drank up my herbal jelly, then passed the rest of the drink to ben to finish :P my goodness, talk about diabetes in a cup.
6 of us trooped down to ben's house after that, and played a game of munchkin and monodeal. munchkin game really took suuuuuper long, haha more than 2h! but i won, hoho! well but the entire process was really very fun lah, hahaha XD for some reason i always reveal my strategies after winning these games... but ah well, nevermind.
thursday; lunch with my desk partners (:
went to sushi tei with martin and charmaine at vivocity. haha we have a number of inside jokes here and there, so this was one of them XD anyway, i've never eaten at sushi tei before, but i was really impressed with their food standard! all the nomnom was so good good! haha charmaine's recommendations quite pro lah - the tempura squid, sesame sauce cold soba, and ice balls. really all super good!!! mmm, so tempting to go back there... hahaha, and the ice balls were totally not just silly cheap shaved ice with syrup, they were like some sort of balls of yakult flavoured goodness! congratulations charmaine, you've converted both martin and me... haha XD sitting and talking was super awesome haha! can't believe we're gonna part from our 3 tables so soon... :/
friday; got a new phone :D 'nuff said.
saturday; badminton again!
haha i played badminton again yesterday :D with a different group of people this time though, as this one was with my church cellies (: had to keep persuading people to come for the past few weeks, and at least we got a nice complete number of 4 people in the end (: once again, realised how inadequate my skill level is... heh, and i was sweating like crazyyyyyy! like, all over! haha, i was sitting on the floor for a while, and the sweat was accumulating at my pants, since my shirt was also dry fit lah. then shumei was like, "clement, you're sitting in a pool of water..." and i had to laugh and reply, "oh, that's my sweat." hahahaha, oh well, i sweat a lot... disgusting and slightly amusing at times :P
also, after that we met with the rest of the cell for our usual saturday cell stuff. ah, cell is lovely (:
well it's back to school tomorrow, and i'm looking forward to it (: 8 school days left... i'll treasure every moment of it (:
AMEN;
