- im finally free from severe exam stress, at least for a year and a half. i can finally go out without having to worry what work was waiting for me at home. oh crap, i forgot that i have piano practical and theory exams on march next year! that means grueling practise and many theory papers to do!!!! argh! but i shall consider that different from the norm (academic).
- it was the first time i had BBQ with church friends without any parental interference. well, that's fun cos it is something out of the norm!
okay, let me side track a little, i am so hairpee cos i finally can chuck my stuff away! my table was getting really messy and dusty, i couldn't stand it any longer. so i cleared my table (surprisingly, i did this before my Os ended!!!), i found out that i had a mountain worth of notes, textbooks and it was only for this year! yeah, i noe go jc will be worse! here's the picture story
looks like a lot of stuff hor...
haha, must always see the FULL STORY! the books even have to lean on a table (not mine) for support, books are spewing onto the table even!
okay, back the point... i shall recap the BBQ. it was a little rushed in planning cos all of us (tze yan and me specifically) were too excited, so we decided to have one asap. haha, this was too the extent of leaving elias out. tze yan pointed out that he should be consuming enough food in China, yeah, i totally agree. in China, u go with school, they stuff u with food, u will never starve. good for someone who ever said that he would enjoy food even when he's full, all the best to him shedding kilos!
why do i keep talking about other unimportant things???? bringing me back to Singapore, the sec 3 n 4s had a really humourous meeting on the previous sunday. thanks to bernice, lol, she and her bangla... we allocated the food. i ended up doing satay and barley.
fast forward to friday the 13th. oh, btw, isn't it the unlucky day for supersitious people? what a coincidence... well it doesn't apply to me! i met jemima and bernice at the latter's house. there we prepared ingredients for beehoon. auntie kim neo cooked it of course, but jemima and i cleaned up. bernice was too busy showering to help out much. that's so predictable of her. it started raining when we departed
we arrived at uncle gim theng's condo by 3. daniel, joanna, elena, samantha, noelene, tze yan were already there, marcus joined us. we checked out the badminton court and it was available! though marcus told me that it was alr booked. i hopped from table tennis with tze yan to badminton with noelene, daniel and jemima to table soccer with jemima to badminton with joanna, daniel and noelene again. i wanted to play more table tennis no one was as enthu as me about it. tsk. by then, it was 5, hui qi and hui yi came. it was still drizzling so i hurried to the house, trying my best to keep my hearing aids dry. then joshua rang the door bell, i was quite surprised, but his presence also made the event more special. :)
while i was kept dry under the shelter of the roof, bailey sure licked my legs even wetter than they already were. i didn't mind, since i was soooooo dirty and sweaty anyway. lol, planned to shower but got too lazy. we played a few card games. now im not a particular fan of card games after what cheryl told me. i realised that playing card games should be the last resort for christian gatherings as it is not very edifying. i mean, u won't get to noe each other much better just by card games! i totally agree with her about play sports or singing together would be much better options.
after a game of animal chase, i diluted the barley concentrate and served ppl. then tze yan and i marinated the stingray. tried out my chopping skills. i guess chopping coconuts are not so much the same as chopping stingrays. i guess i just don't have that chops. while we did that, a few others went down to start up the fire. the drizzle almost put a damper on our spirits but amazingly, noelene could start the flames! she certainly could eat no lean, but can start fire very well. (okay, i shall stop being soooo lame) heh, i still remember smelling the smoke from the barbecue from 8th floor and knowing from that instant that their quest was successful.
yup, so we ate food. um, there's nothing much to describe here....
midway, nat came. she requested for games, so i wrecked my brains for a game. charade came to my mind. jemima and i decided to do it off the bat. lol, we thought we were being very tricky. some of phrases were idioms, some were songs titles and even phua chu kang. haiz, but we underestimated these bunch of people. the game ended by 30 mins, and we eventually had time for auntie pat to do several encores on demand. hehe, i think i loved the one beauty and the beast most. LOL, nat's expression as beauty is worth more than priceless. bernice even gave herself away by saying that she peed on her pants... not very smart! haha.
after that, we cleaned up again. i got a little fright by that sly cat lurking around. it was rummaging through the rubbish nat and i left on the ground, cos the bag was too big to go into the hole. this is why i still prefer dogs.
upstairs, our plan to go for midnight movie was screwed. nat told me later that it was just cos our parents worried about our transport home.. haiz, what a horrible reason... but its quite true cos its unsafe. but i was quite disappointed. :( next, we, the gals played twister. i needed this badly, i wanted a real work out on my stamina! it was reduced to me vs hui yi. it was tough competition! i was combating my willpower, i wanted to push myself to the extreme. the game resolved as a draw after hui qi started making us do the humanly impossible stunts. she commented that i was very flexible, thanks ya, but i think it was because of my stamina.
at last it was time to go home. after a few pictures taken, uncle seow thong kindly fetched us home. i still had the energy to watch survivor. harhar. i think john's so cute.
whoa, it's past 12 already! i needa wake up tmr at 7 to practise piano and complete theory homework! gah, will talk about sat and sun another time!
