the holiday is over. thank god! well it actually wasnt all that bad and wasnt as horrible as i expected it to be. it was actually kinda fun to be in the cold of korea. a big change (big, not necessarily good) from singapore's ever sunny weather. the 3 layers of clothes that i wore were not enough. i even started to shiver (shake, rattle and roll) due to the extreme cold. lol. (hey, its not my fault.)
unfortunately, the damn tour guide could only speak mandarin. (he's korean but a mandarin speaking one. weird ppl we have in the world.) anyway, my sis and i, with our limited mandarin vocabulary, managed to decipher most of what he was trying to say. (which wasnt much.)
the second and third day were the best for a very simple reason. we went to amusement parks. they were fantastic. i already promised myself to try rides that i couldnt find in singapore. all the rides were mind blowing. the roller coasters were aswesome. i came down feeling all wobbly. lol. i even sat on a gyro drop. (those rides where they bring you up real high and throw you back down real real real fast.) i went up 20 stories (not hdb 20 stories, higher, much higher) and got shot back down so fast that within one blink of an eye (literally) it was over. if only i had a picture, it would have been priceless. lol.
the fourth day was so boring. we went to places like ginseng shops, jewellery shops and stupid stuff like that. i wont bother to go into detail. much better left in the gutters of my cerebrum.
on the fifth day, it was off to hong kong. shoppers paradise? i dont think so. out of the 2 days i spent there, i slept and underwent r & r 95% of the time. i was basically a pig. eat sleep slack. there was also porn on the tv. (added bonus.) messaged mel and daph from hong kong too, missed them.
anyway, after the 2 days, i was homeward bound. it was a great feeling. all the 7 days i was soooooo homesick for all my friends. missed daph and mel most of all. kit too. (its quite normal to miss her zany antics.) i was so happy when i got back home. it made me understand why i didnt like holidays; i get homesick for my friends and everything singaporean. (especially the food.)
upon my return i found out that many events unfolded during my absence. reena became a 'desparado' according to daph. reena was hanging out with the group after cheryl lim's wedding (which went well according to daph and kit) when she suddenly took off with isabel to meet up with kt and the guys. it was this sudden departure that ticked daph off. she called her a despo. lol. kinda funny in my opinion. daph told kit that if i were there, i would have felt pissed too. i dunno actually. would i? i think maybe i would have just felt surprised and maybe rudely shocked (like what kit felt), but angry? maybe its one of those things where i had to be there to understand and feel something.
however, reena does sound different now whenever i bring up the sentosa trip. kt and the guys are not going for the sentosa trip (due to a lecture on the sat exams) and because of that, she is not hyped up about the trip as before. its silly, isnt it? i mean how much do the guys contribute to fun? are they really that important? in my opinion they are a burden. so its better if they dont come. for now, i'll leave this reena issue to rest till i make my own conclusion.
also, mel didnt make it to the quaterfinals of his singing competition but hey, i'm so proud that he made it this far. he braved a crowd to sing for goodness sake. wish i were there. would have cheered till my lungs burst. lol.
tmr's the day i've been waiting for. sentosa day. hope its all fun and that the weather doesnt get in the way. i'm so looking forward to this.

went to daph's house on tuesday. same old same old like bfr. so fun! i just love that 'nyamuk' game. but my dad havent even fix the game in our house yet. so maybe i'll just bring my cartridge to daph's the next time.
anyway, i found out on tues that my handphone mic was screwed. so i can hear ppl but they cant hear me. sickening rite? i knoe! ergh! anyway, i went to the nokia repair shop today to try and fix it but it would had cost me a bomb or 2 so i didnt. i went home after that, fiddled around with my handphone in hopes of ifxing it and guess what, i found the prob; the mic was just loose. so now when i have a call i just have to apply pressure to the right side of the phone for the fellow to hear me. (i know it's a lil retarded, but hey at least its 'fixed' and i didnt even have to spend $$.)
went to old folks home today. the one opp S11. happy lodge home. it was such a fulfilling feeling bringing smiles to their faces. it made me so happy. despite it raining and we only spending about 2.5 hrs there, it was, in my opinion, a success.
i found out today that lay hong is one spirited girl. she's so damn lively. she was jumping from one old folk to another like frogs on lily pads. it's gonna come in useful for her one day and i hope she never loses it.
i also found out that laura is in the wrong cca. smts i wish sm else was vp and not her. she's annoying.
at the old folks, i was plesently surprised (plesently surprised, lol. sounds like a phrase ms quek would use) to find out that old folks arent slugs that do nothing. these folks were preparing for their inter-home competition (which had events like discus and shot put) when we were leaving. i was so... well, plesently surprised. they were also so damn sporting. they willingly came out to dance with us when we asked them (of course this took place after that usual 'no lah. dont want lah. shy lah' thing. but they still dance wholeheartedly even though they had no idea what they were doin.) i can honestly swear that most of em are as sporting or may even be more sporting than most of us teens. for that i applaud these folks. they may have aged physically but the're still young and a bunch of let loose ppl inside. i hope to be like that. in that way, the party never really ends, does it?

Shao jun's party was fun. first the movie.
'wishing stairs' was the weirdest scary movie by far. lol. it was just weird. nonsense in my opinion, but funny. (ni paria na?) lol. we had loads of fun making fun of it though. (yobo seiyo!)
then dinner.
that was uneventful i guess. nothing much happened. guys were late as usual. then, the park.
we played at the park near the tampines library fer a while bfr goin home. all in all, a fun fun time.
went out with mel to the library yesterday evening. while hanging with him, i realised that i missed all the fun times we had together. dunno whatever happened to those times or if they'll ever come back but hey, things change and so do ppl.
went to school this morning for interact. the dance steps we came up with for the home visits were just plain corny. lol. at least the old folks will enjoy em i guess. heh. dont know if they'll even care. just hope to make one of em smile and i'll be contented.
i'm so bored. gonna ask my dad fix the games so that daph and mel can come over and play that 'nyamuk' game like we did at daph's house. at the same time, at least i wont be so damn bored no more.

Went out with daph and mel yesterday. had lunch, hung around and then went to daph's place to hang. we played really fun games. like that mario and luigi turtle and crab and 'nyamuk' killing games. lol. had tons of fun. must go there often.
i felt something yesterday that may help me understand what melvyn felt/feels wrt the previous blog entry. daph was saying that mel wrote something sweet for daph's friendster, (there were other stuff too but i cant remember) and i felt jealous. i know, its so silly, like what i said about melvyn feeling it too in the previous entry. daph is entitled to say whatever she wants about whoever she wants and i dont own her and i'm not her one and only friend. but jus cos its silly doesnt mean i dont feel. its tuff. but hey, its not the first time. i'll get over it that i know. but, it made me understand what mel may have felt wrt the previous blog post. this little rabbit is enlightened.
anyway, today going to darius's house to practice. i'm just tagging along, nothing to do anyway. might as well follow em and have fun. after that we're going to watch 'wishing stairs'. cant wait! another horror show with friends. cant wait to shout and scream and see other ppl, namely daph, shout and scream too. this is gonna be fun. then we'll be going to have dinner at swensens, the usual. reena wanted to go han river or that other table bbq place (forgot name) but was too expensive. so swensens was ideal.
i can't wait to go out. the holis are already starting to get boring. sad eh? not even one week has passed and i'm already felling like this.
and about the (damned) holiday to korea and hong kong, i think i'll stop being such a bugger about it. i've decided to just enjoy it, since i have no choice after all. the idea of going to a country with an average temperature of 5 degree is kinda appealing eh?

did some changes with the font today. looked better than before. much easier on the eyes and stuff. went for the physics s paper meeting yesterday. man its tough. dunno if i can actually make the cut or not. hope its possible though. also hope they open the bio one too. more interested in taking that one up.
Goin out with daph and mel tomorrow. to the airport to hang and have lunch and to celebrate the fact that my op was done and over with today.
the op was so nerve recking. i got dan kok and this other f math teacher. both were okay and stuff. the questions they asked were also moderately acceptable. all in all, good fer me.
daph told me that mel gave her a letter some time ago abt their 'strained' relationship due to mel havin a gf. glad that mel's doin something abt it though. dont wanna see daph left all alone watching movies and stuff. kinda borin no? at least she'll have some company and their relationship'll be better.
there's still smt bothering me though. daph treats me like a best friend. ditto on this side too. why does mel feel insecure? threatened? jealous? abt this? its really silly that he feels wateva he may be feeling because its totally unnecessary. i mean we (me daph and mel) made an agreement in 01' to stick together, and in my opinion, we still are together as the all famous trio. i just dont get why he must question daph abt my relationship with her. it seems so predetorial. well i dunno, it maybe my imagination or watever but, i dunno. i still think its a little bit silly.

Finally.
i say this for two reasons. one, i can finally use this blog.
technology's a bitch. you wouldnt wanna know how long i took to get this all started. i'll say it anyway. 5 freakin days. its either this is a really tuff program to use or i'm just an idiot. (i'm leaning towards the former). two, my pw presentation is tomorrow. thank god almighty. i can get the damn thing over and done with. its a pain in the neck to do shit like that. and after all that hard work all that sweat and blood (wonder what a mixture like that would look like), it's only 10% for our uni entry. thanks alot MOE.
Anyway, i'm going to Korea on the 22nd. hurray? i dont think so. holis with my parents are just horrible. its like being in a box. dont go here, dont go there, that's too expensive blah blah blah. if they're doin that this holi, i'm just gonna start reading my notes in front of their faces and show my bloody discontent bloody blatantly. i rather stay in good ol s'pore.
2 days ago in the news, i heard of a riots breaking out in the streets of S. Korea, the place i'm going. i was so hoping that the holis were gonna be cancelled or smt. But alas, my ass aint that lucky 24 7. it's Korea for me... i'm sooooo excited. sheesh.
