first, i've been worrying like hell about my impending extra (guard) duty, which was to be carried out this week, ever since last saturday. then, to my utter relief, the extra duty was to be on tuesday, hence saving my S$147 dollars and the pleasure of meeting my dear closeknit group of friends :)
BUT, there was to be an SOC period before my guard duty, or was there not? i changed into my SOC attire, when i was called to fall out of the SOC group (YES!!!!!!!) girls may want to ask their guys how horrible SOC can be, if you're still not adjusted to running as fast as you can but not too fast else you'll fail all your obstacles, and how the swing trainer + low rope fails a good number of people (including me). so, no SOC is good!
BUT, my company scheduled its FIRST NIGHT OUT ON TUESDAY!!!!!!! :'( imagine my sadness when i saw my bunkmates book in at 10pm (i was standing at the gate)
during that shift, jeff smsed me saying that yiwei got into NUS architecture! then came and went a flurry of sms-es and phone calls, which flustered my fellow guard duty-mate who reminded me i shouldn't be using the *er hem* phone during duty XD
so anyway, I GOT INTO NUS ARCHITECTURE YESSSSS!!! my life is going according to plan so far :D
the rest of the week was quite ok, just a couple of bumps here and there. like, how i got very irritated with some of my bunkmates for laughing and chatting away at the top of their voices callously, while a few of us were trying to sleep >:( nvm la, i got over it quite soon.
*haiz, dunno why i feel so distant from him, though we've known each other for more than 2 years. is it my fault, or his? haha. i guess our personalities are incompatible, though we're still ok friends, but not close buddies, which in fact, he managed to make, not one but two, and within my section leh! an irrational sense of jealousy comes over me whenever he chooses to ask favours of other people instead of me hahaha! i must be quite ego to think that people ought to be always looking to me first for any help. don't worry i'm not angry or anything with him, but i'm just trying to understand myself a bit better. i suppose i'm too introverted to interact with a lot of people, so i end up being quite selective about my friends in the end. friends meaning those i actually talk to; i'm genial to everyone else, thank you - i'm not the cold kind of person, just (usually) introverted*
ANYWAY, i evantually got my first night out on wednesday! and - oh my gosh - did i spend a hell lot on eating :D ice lemon tea, 2 prima deli pastries, andersen's ice-cream in 2 hours HOHOHO!
random: keeping a ledger has made me a stingy poker lol!
fast forward to friday. did AOC, quite fun, and i could actually climb a rope :D:D:D my confidence is restored!
on the same day, i completed 'the picture of dorian gray' by oscar wilde finally! a big thank-you to jeff, who kindled my interest for literature. i realise i am eligible to read books without feeling a sense of stupidity for not understanding the full meanings of texts. 'dorian gray' by the way, is quite an intriguing book that touches on a lot of philosophical/social issues, such as marriage, role of women, and especially pleasure. a really twisted book, i must say... haha...
and good news to myself: i finally conquered the swing trainer on saturday morning! :D:D realised that you CANNOT sprint your first 700m until you get exhausted, else you have no energy for any obstacle. in the end, my timing was 11:30 (which sucks actually, but considering that my previous timing was something like 13 or even 14 minutes, it's fantastic). now, to pass ALL the obstacles at one go -.- (failed low rope during the rundown, but i could do AOC leh??)
released from captivity at 10am :) rushed to katong mall, watched a rather substandard piano masterclass (fault lies with the performers who lack a LOT of basics) but still, was quite a good refresher to me. i wonder if i do have the potential to do classical music performance hm? nah, just a random thought.
point of going all the way for the masterclass wasn't for the class actually, but to see my lovely ex-piano teacher and yiwei and chen wei :) we ate really sinful stuff after the masterclass, never felt so happy after eating a basic meal for soooo long! fyi, i ate (FAKE) katong laksa (they didn't even snip the noodles short so that you can use only a spoon!) and char kway teow and homemade barley. loved the cockles, i don't know why?? i used to really HATE them as a kid, they got this fishy gooey smell, taste and texture to them. now, i kinda like it being squished in my mouth!? i'm growing up, man. oooh, and any food with lard, for example char kway teow, is SHEER HEAVEN. eating the fried pieces of lard is pleasureable!
held up jeff for quite a while as a result, finally met up with him (yiwei tagged along) and finally set off to bo's birthday bash :) great friends around, great food, great entertainment (consisting of a paid ameteur band and an impromptu performance haha). after watching them play the keyboard, i wonder if i have the musical intelligence to actually play any improvisation up to scratch :'( as you can see, i am bipolar with respect to the confidence of my abilities. i'm probably quite realistic, though.
really miss the company of these people whom i'm so familiar with.
OH SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED. i forgot to take home the peacock mask! sorry teri, heh~
life is so good to me~~~ i really don't think i deserve some of it, really :S
ok need to shower + sleep now, i got the entire day out, again :P singapore poly river raft race (which has become a family tradiiton kind of thing to attend, due to my dad) and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA TEEHEHEHEHE *gleaming eyes*
