Sports...

2 days have passed and I still can't wash away my disdain for tt activity which I loathe the most... The thought of tt word sent shivers down my spine and to actually type it out is really a matter of willpower... Of course, the hatred for it will definitely subside, say in another few more days before it's back in full force once again as I enter the phase of my life which I'm forced to enter... Hmmm, tt's actually another topic by itself...

On [Wed], our sch have our 'much anticipated' [Sport's Day] and right after my [Sat] test after sch, we've no choice but to report to the [Grand Stand] where all the competition's held...

Bought [Bec] and [Cass] a drink each and stayed with them for 30 mins or so before I decided to get back to my house and join the class... As I walked pass [Owens] - my house, I realised tt the class's sitting all the way @ the front... And how sweet of them to reserve a place for me!!! However, the appreciation wasn't really there though... I'll explain later...

Once I've settled down, I practically stoned for who-knows-how-long before [Quin] and I both agreed tt we're both in desperate need for a drink... With glee, the duo made our way not to the water-cooler nor the canteen, but the [Milo Van]!!! The 2 of us were practically in haven, though I doubt tt haven's actually so humid... I mean, isn't haven, like, above the clouds where all the water vapours are stored??? Ya, so anyway, [Quin] and I both have like 3 cups of cool milo before we took another 3 more cups for whoever wanted milo... Oh, and did I mention tt the drink's TOTALLY free?! Wahaha!!! Me, a milo fanatic, couldn't be any happier indulging myself in what I love most...

Once tt's over, the remaining time was wasted as though there's unlimited time in the word... Seeing the relay race, or the whatever is a fate much worse than being grounded for eternity... When you're grounded, @ least I could still do what I like - read... But @ tt pt of time, all I could do was to look dumbly @ the running track, staring @ 4 - 6 ppl running round the track and seeing who's coming 1st... I've no idea who's running for which house and I'm subjected to ear torture... Poor ears!!! I'm so not looking forward to being deaf @ such an early age when I'm going to be blind soon... Gee, pathetic isn't it???

As a matter of fact, the situation did get more out of control... The rain came... It was supposed to be a good thing, as I initally assumed tt we could actually be dismissed, or should I say, liberated from tt hellish torture... But nooo, the sch stubbornly refused to grant us salvation...

When the rain actually stopped, [Quin] and I decided to have another round @ of milo escapades... But alas, the van disappeared!!! The 2 of us were like utterly disappointed as our target of 10 milo's shattered in a blink of an eye... Why must I be tortured in such a way?! WHY?!

Thank goodness it's over... Anyway, [Lynn] and I were chatting and we dwelled on what the future have in store for us... For starters, she's going to uni and she'll be my senior - which is hard to imagine - and I'll be going to [NS]... I'm freaking out on tt because being in an education system for 12 yrs in a row, tt sudden change of environment is scaring me... I fear change as well as the unknown... What type of ppl will I meet there??? Will I be ostracized again like when I'm in lower sec??? How will I change??? The notion of me losing my feminism character and no longer being like what I am now... I don't like it...

I know I'm worrying a lot, being paranoid and all... Frankly speaking, I can't help it as it's in my character... If I'm not worrying abt all these tiny details, then I'm being abnormally abnormal... For now, I'm simply contented with being what I'm now, normally abnormal... LOL...

Trapped...

The mind is indeed a very powerful object indeed... It can alter your opinion on a subject in a blink of an eye, changing love to hate, friends to foe... Yet it can also pervent the change from happening, like in the case of sports and me...

No matter how many years have passed, I still find sports immersely unpleasant... From years of being one of the many spectators @ various sports meets, wasting my already short life by watching the participants compete and having no idea who won or whatever, I've developed the mentality tt such events are a total waste of time and effort to even watch...

[Friday] proved my point even further... The girls wanted to cheer our classmate @ the hits, so I dumbly tagged along as we've decided to have dinner together... The notion of actually enjoying the sight did cross my mind... Yet once I've witnessed our classmate doing the short put for abt 3 tries and I attempted to cheer him on, the enjoyment just disappeared as the sight of him throwing ball after ball, trying to beat records of his competitors as well as his own personal best bore me to the core...

Tt's not all... Since there's going to be a run and tug-of-war, we have no choice but to retreat to the [Grand Stand] to cheer and render our support. Imagine, sitting down and watching 6 ppl run as fast as they could to see who could be first... I have no idea which runner is repesenting my house and hence, I just stared dumbly @ the ppl running, and clapping when the cue comes, uninterested in whoever won the race... To me, 6 ppl racing just reminds me of the primary sch days, when you race with friends to see who's the fastest... Ironice huh, tt when you race on the track, it's normal... But when you race anywhere else in the vicinity of the sch, it's being reduced to a childish act...

In addition, when the boredom is abt to consume me, I've decided to take a walk to the canteen and not wanting to create any suspicion to my feelings, I decided to buy some food so tt @ least I could have an excuse... Then I went to look for [SL] to kill time... We chatted a little and my instincts tell me tt there's something different abt him... Of late, he has become a little distant, like the connection on a friendship lv has been cut off... Maybe it's the stress of all the exams and so on... Who knows???

I'm getting a little out of point there... [SL] then attempted to change the subject and asked who's winning the tug-of-war... Oh, sure I did witness the game and I've watched it... But I don't know which side represents which team... Like what I've told him, 'Sports and Shawn don't mix well with one another'...

Did saw the [J1] eye cady of mine though as I returned to join my clique... Even though some say he isn't all tt good-looking, which is partially true... I don't really care cause I actually find tt he hasa very... Cute character... LOL... I'm going all crazy here...

The clique, finally got affected by boredom, decided to leave and head over to [BP] for lunch and a whole lot of gossiping... Now tt's what I'll say is entertainment...

With exams coming over and I'm getting a little stress, the hormones are beginning to get a little wacky... Wonder if I'm able to have the willpower to contain my desire to throw myself @ any guy I see until after my 'A's... LOL...

P.S: In a matter of hours, it'll be 2 yrs already... The wound has healed, but the scar's still there... Yet with all the skincare tt's available, I'm starting to move on...

ECP Again...

The monthly gang outing never fail to take off and this time, we headed back to [ECP] once more... The other time wasn't much success cause the rain spoilt our day... This time however, we're postitive tt the weather will be perfect...

Woke up darn early and left home @ abt 0830 hrs to have [Mac]'s breakfast... I wanted to ask [Dar] and [Gid] along but I was hesitant to SMS them, fearing tt they're still in bed... Good thing I didn't though...

Tried to take my own sweet time as the meeting time was 1000 hrs... Alas, no matter how I tried not to be early, I'm still @ the meeting place before everyone's there... Guess the early gene just can't disappear...

By 0956 hrs, [YH] and [Bec] arrived appeared and we headed to [7-11] to find some snacks for [Bec] cause she got herself an upset stomach... By 1000+ hrs, everyone's there and by everyone, I mean [MJ], [YQ], [JY], [YH], [Bec] and moi... [Dar] and [Gid] were supposed to join us too, but @ the last min, they SMSed me saying tt they're too tired to turn up... 2 guys staying overnight and the next day, they're too tired to do anything... You tell me what the hell took place... *naughty smile*

As we took the 1 hr long bus journey to [ECP] we crapped as though the rest of the ppl are deaf, like they're non-exsistant... But we can't help it and I doubt we cared anyway... And this is 1 topic tt I feel tt's of major importance... It's abt [XP]... We're bitching abt her... ... Actually, of course not!!! We're not tt mean... We're discussing abt her fainting experiance in sch and our conclusion is this... [XP], take good care of yourself!!! Of all the days to fast, you have to do it when you have your [WuShu]... Turning yourself anoxeric in an attempt to save money is bad... Try to draw up a saving plan and have a proper meal @ the same time... Perhaps you can try saving $1 a day for starters... If tt's too much, a few cents everyday will do... Don't belittle the power of accumulation...

A little off tangent here huh??? We finally arrived @ [ECP] after what felt like eternity and not wasting any time, rent a bike and started to have some excellant exercise!!!

However, after riding for barely an hour I reckon, [Bec] became exhausted and her riding became erractic... It's like she's drink-driving, losing control over her bike every now and then... We can't really blame her cause hey, she's having an upset stomach here... As a result, we didn't really ride far before we turn back to the coffee shop for lunch... Once we're done with it, we ride with godspd all the way back to the bike rental shop as our 2 hrs running out... Made it in time obviously...

Hit the beach for 10 mins just to talk for a while and take a few piccys before going to [Mac]'s to have dessert... We could do w/o the desserts but because I owe them a treat... Oh well, I willingly treated them anyway... 2 salads, 1 MacFlurry and 3 sundaes, all for below $10!!! Guess the waiter undercharged... Or is it because there's some discount??? Who knows???

With tt, we took the bus 196 back to [Clementi]... The long journey back made all of us doze off in the bus and the un-glam side of us were revealed and captured forever as pics... Not everyone though, only 1 particular person... Her image's been tarnished... But then again, it's not like she has any image anyway... *evil laugh*

Before I end this post, can you believe tt [Paris Hilton]'s gonna be the spokesperson for [Hello Kitty]?! Can you believe it?! I can't!!! It's outrageous I tell you... [Paris]'s so gonna destroy the pure and innocent image of [Hello Kitty]... LOL... Like what [MJ] said, 'Slap her la'... Heke...

National Day Eve...

The day before was [KL]'s b-day and we played a tricked on her... Not those over-the-top type kinda trick... She wanted gifts and a sunflower, so on [Mon], we didn't shower her any gifts, except a bracelet, giving her the idea tt we're so mean to not give her any presents while she showered almost everyone - teachers tt taught us, friends and classmates - with gifts tt she took time and effort to prepare... It's very sweet of her to do such a thing...

Then yesterday, our sch put up the [National Day] celebration which wasn't very exciting if the breakdancing and dance weren't there... The dance by the female dance members were eye catching... How their hips can sway!!! How I wish I could do tt... Mind you, I'm fansinated by their dance, not their assets... Then there's the breakdancing... Most of our class guys took part in the performance and it's never boring seeing so many hunks dancing... =D

After the performance and our [Chem] extra lessons, the clique headed to [Holland V] to seriously celebrate [KL]'s b-day... Of course, we showered her with all the gifts tt are meant for her - sunflower, pink slippers, blouse - before we headed to [Bouna Vista]... Once there, we took the wrong way to [Holland V] and end up walking for more than 15 mins or so... Once there, we were clueless to what to ea for our lunch as we're really spoilt for choice... @ long last though, we settled for the food centre as the rest of the options are all way off our budget...

Mind oh mind... The food @ the food centre isn't all poor quality and all... The [Grill Fish] tt I had was by my standards, way better than those you can find @ [Lot 1]... Imagine this... Grilled fish with loads of pepper plus gravy on it, a small scoop of mashed potato, cloeslaw, fries, beans, egg... For only $5!!! Can you believe it??? And the one @ [Lot 1]'s $5.50 and there's NO cloeslaw, beans, potato and gravy on fish...

Once we're all done with the lunch, it's down to the main even of the day... Headed to [Settler's] and tt's where the real fun began... But first, let me introduce to what's [Settler's] all abt... It's actually a board games cum cafe for cool ppl like the clique to chill, bond and have tons of fun... In addition, the student package includes uni students as well!!! Imagine!!! $6 for unlimited drinks and games for 4 hrs for 1400 - 1800 hrs!!! Moreover, there's a huge varitey of games there for you to choose, games tt you've never heard of but will have unlimited amt of fun for hours!!!

Next time, the gang outing should be there and I recommend [Bang!] and the other Snap-like game tt's more challenging... LOL... I'm promoting tt place!!! ^_^

Oh ya, before I end this post... It's fun going out with the clique... The game's fun, but the company's better... It's great tt everyone enjoyed it and I'll always remember all the screaming!!! Heke... =D

Why Blog???

Just 24 hrs ago, we were talking abt censorship and our [GP] tutor threw us this: Should there be blog censorship by the authorities??? The class did give some interesting viewpoints and personally, I do think tt there should be some form of censorship to some extent...

Frankly speaking, you can't expect the authorities to monitor every single blogs there are on this little red dot... And you can't restrict the words we use... Can you believe what [China]'s doing?! They've this program tt doesn't allow ppl to write words such as 'demoracy', 'freedom', etc... The thought of it is dumb... Imagine if I write this: 'I've lost my freedom due to my parents grounding me'... A pop-up will inform me tt I've used some prohibited words... I'll explode I tell you...

But on the other hand, it's for the sake of national security... Hence like what the little red dot is doing, we have better not write any racist remarks or post any information abt the army, etc... Of course, the little red dot isn't restricting us from writing anything... It's impossible... Hence they're using censorship in another sense, by teaching us to self-censor... Wonderful plan huh...

Tt's just a little something tt's relavant, yet not relavant to occupy space... And before I dwell on the main topic, the mention of the word army reminded me of this... The army sent me another letter informing me tt I've a medical appointment to attend... Isn't tt weird? Thus I called them up to enquire and guess what??? The database didn't have any records tt I've went for my check-up during the [June Hols]... I was shocked when I heard tt... However, after explaining everything to the customer- service lady, I do hope tt the misunderstanding is solved... I'm very determined NOT to go back to [CMPB] on [Tue]... I have something impt to attend to on tt day... *Flash mysterious smile*

Now onto the main topic... Just a few days back, when I was heading home from sch, I was witness to a jaw-dropping event which brings back vivid meories of [XP's] b-day party...However, there isn't any bullying or anything... 2 primary school kids (sch's name is being witheld to protect the interests of the sch... But isn't the sch obvious?!) - I think they're like pri. 3 or 4 perhaps??? - were walking towards the road and schoolboy A was esctatically shouting 'F***!!!', oblivious to everyone who's there... My eyes widen as I heard tt word and as I turned to look @ them, schoolboy B was laughing and told A off in a laughing manner tt he's scolding valgurities...

I was interested to see what's happening next and I wasn't perpared for what I was witness to... As A & B approached the traffic lights, they saw their friend sitting on a rusty railing and decided to yell out to their friend... It's normal isn't it??? Calling out to someone tt you know??? It depends on how you shout...

A & B shouting together: 'Hey C!!! F*** you!!!'
I can't believe they actually shout tt out so loud!!!
C turned and spit on to the grass before replying: 'Wa lao, you scold valgurities, f*** you, cb...'
My jaw got dislocated after tt...

I'm awed @ the conversation tt took place... Are kids so rowdy nowadays??? Is technology to blame??? The rowdy behaviour is totally unacceptable... What is the sch teaching these days??? I'm not gonna blame the parents as I'm positively sure tt their parents are clueless to their kids' odious behaviour... For all I know, those devils could be angels when they're home... Tsk, what kids these days need are lessons tt tells you what's right and what's wrong...

Oh well, I guess tt's abt it... [National Day]'s just around the corner and I'm already in the holiday mood... This can't carry on... I should switch permanently back to the mugging mode and get serious with my work... Perlims' after all, is just a few wks away... Therefore, let's make it formal now... I hereby announce tt the frequency of my updates will be reduced in the near future...

Will end here...

P.S: [National Day]... I have this nostalgic feeling all of a sudden... It's 3 yrs already... Some wounds just can't be healed...
