the morning after the night before
First of all, happy Sunday to everyone. National day was on Thursday and seeing as I didn't bother then I don't think I'm gonna bother now. Nevertheless I feel the same as Andrew on this year's NDP song (link to his blog on left). Hence, I shall dedicate this post mainly to recounting my adventures this week, as well as err other miscellaneous things. Wednesday was a annual pre-national day thing in school. This year ACS decided to hold a combined celebration at Queenstown Stadium. (Un)fortunately, only the year 3's and 5's were "invited" to attend. Seeing as I am neither retained nor a genius (to a promotional extent), I was left in school all ... "angry", being excluded from perhaps the most happening and fruitful event of the year (other than PM's and MM's birthday of course). Sad to say, we were only made to recite some recollections in the auditorium before proceeding with the tedious, tiring schedule of school. On a brighter note, such a schedule involved half a lesson of literature with Mr Lee TL and 2 hours of undisturbed basketball. Juice, Andrew, Limzy, Avery (OMG YEAH?), Lester and I then proceeded to the Cathay where we caught The Simpsons... MOVIE. A rather relaxing show to watch, especially if you're short on time because well it's short on time too, but full of humour. Thursday was spent around Millenia Walk. My dad checked into Conrad Hotel for a day and so we spent National day around there, once going to suntec city to shop. Good hotel, new shoes, good sms company, good fireworks, good NDP, good taxi fare home, good day. Friday was spent bumming around as usual, till I met up with Thong to play ball in the late afternoon. I won a 2 on 2 for like the first time in my entire life or something, and discovered that I actually am a rather good shooter. I also discovered that I do jump satisfyingly high but can only get my palm on the board. Thong came over again around 830 or so and we did work most of the way, along with playing neopets (Lester's fault) and talking to person on msn. By 11+ Thong's mom still hadn't called so I was rather excited that he was staying over. She did call eventually but gave the thumbs up anyway. Saturday was spent with Thong mostly. We played pool, did tiny bits of work. I didn't do much for the rest of the time. Today~ sister woke up late so mom and I had to cab to church because she rushed off with the car. By God's grace I didn't die*(explanation later) while ushering, and worship was good. I especially liked the offering song, which I don't know the title of because I was concentrating on my fabulous ushering. Cell was as usual not that educational, but it was good in the sense that we could see real life examples of God's word in action. The 5 minutes on Maple Story however, could have been reduced haha. For a TRUE (IMO) guide on enraging the opponent (without really doing much yourself), please refer to post from... November 18 2006. I just realised that my best blogging was in November last year, most probably from the influence of cocaine and Alpha. Back to the point, we (blanche,jia,mil,wen,zoo i mean me) studied a bit. Well I didn't exactly study but at least now I know my enthalpy and err ... something lime is pronounced something lime. Aluminium oxide is also a catalyst. Went to Bugis Crystal Jade Macau for lunch, then went home where I have been studying chem (due to inspiration from just now) as well as Math! Now for the miscellaneous part. To all with prelims tmr; specifically Jia, Mil, Wen, The Other Michael, all other Barker guys from FOB, all the best, do your best, let God do the rest. Sorry to anybody else who also has prelims tomorrow, but well either I forgot or I didn't know but either way everyone will be kept in prayer. |
