The whole week

Sunday, December 05, 2004

Many things had happened this week, but i had not been blogging about it, bacause I was too lazy :D

Monday

The highlight of the day was a rare OG gathering. I had felt very very bad for arriving late for the previous OG dinner because I had overslept. So, I decided to arrrive early. no one was there yet...except for felicia, who was the host. Nevertheless, had fun playing Jenga. The ben woon and ben chen arrived. Ben chen actually brought a bottle of absolute vodka. But i did not dare drink it, even when it was mixed with coke... scared I would get drunk and then mumble nonsense..
i tried my hand at pool. sigh... it was quite a disaster. I realise that I could not hit with sufficient strength. The white ball was just rolling extremely slowly, then if I get lucky, it will touch the target lightly... nudge it so tt it rolls only slightly... Goodness.. haha! lol

I had a pleasant surprise when I saw Jiaqi outside the function room. realised that she lived there too. haha.. we talked and gossiped a lot, and i went to her house also, and watched the RSI vcd.. quite funny, and I bet that they really had a whale of a time there.

started home at around 1030pm, much later than what I had expected. The whole group of us trudged slowly down to clementi mrt station, and when I reached home, it was already 11.10pm. My parents were furious, not because of the time I came home, but more because I did not answer my phone when they were worried sick about my whereabouts. Seriously, my phone was on silent mode, and I forgot about it completely. I felt really bad about that, especially when I saw the number of missed calls.

Lesson learnt: Never leave your phone on silent mode!!!

Tuesday

Biosoc exco meeting.
Because of the 5 day week policy, we can't have meetings on Saturday anymore!!! and fieldtrips on Sat has to be preapproved by the school first.. Sighz.. That means we have to plan everything this year.. But this could actually be a blessing in disguise, so that future meetings would not be so boring and aimless anymore :) We had quite a fun time discussing the details of the CIP camp. because of this "toilet break/water break" thing after every 1 hour block.. Geez...But i am looking forward to the CIP camp. It will be very very enriching and fun ^o^

Wednesday

Much as i had been cynical about games like warcraft, Red Alert etc, I was surprisingly fascinated by how my brother was playing Diablo II.

Unbelievingly, I spent a few hours just watching him play that game.. It was really interesting. But of course, when i tried my hand at it, it wasn't as simple as it looked. hee hee. it is probably just me. Anyway, i was arguing with him about what he should be doing. Like how he should not be filling his inventory with all the healing potions and mana, when he can collect the weapon and shields for selling. And when I told him to sell some weapons, he was quite hesistant, because those were more powerful than his current one, but he had not attained the required strength and skill level to use it.. haha sigh.

And i was quite fascinated by this concept of there being a King amongst the group of bad guys that will attack you. You have to attack the king first, if not, the bad guys will rejuvenate etc. etc.

Anyway, taufik rocks!!! although Sylvester really improved a lot for the finals, Taufik is ultimately the better one. Although I was elated when Taufik was announced the winner, this feeling did not last long. I was saddened to learn how both were offered equal prizes, and that everything was already mapped out for sylvester, whilst the plans for Taufik were still hazy. Sigh.. I think this is really going to be like American idol, where the runner up does better than the winner, traditionally. It is really not fair for taufik.. but there is really nothing much we can do about it.

Thursday
Nothing much happened, except that I watched the Polar Express. It wasn't that nice. Not as awesome as what I thought it would be. Felt really stupid after the show. All the advertising gimmicks and packaging were really misleading... that's all i can say.

Friday
Mediquiz.
Then I tried to find the buzzer which the trainers wanted so we can train our reflexes. Sigh.. tried the shops in my neighbourhood, but it was to no avail.

Saturday
So, I went to Sim Lim square and Sim Lim towers. Can you imagine?! I could not find the buzzer at all. what I found was the electronic part of the buzzer. The shopkeeper said we had to assemble such things ourselves. Not very helpfu, considering the fact that i am not a technical person, and that I had forgotten all my electronics stuff. And so, the search continues... haha

Sunday
Passed the time learning and playing tai-ti with my father, brother and sister. Quite fun, and considering that I am still a rookie, i did quite well, thanks to beginner's luck :D Anyway, got laughed at quite a few times for making stupid moves, but still, I had a good time.
