I just finished Bitten by the Byte Bug's video and am feeling extremely accomplished and happy (: OP in 2 days time but we are still extremely unprepared, but to boost our morale... RJ167, HERE'S TO AN A FOR PW!  More (R) F A N G ❤ says: what does I and R stand for? lol obviously KPF hasn't been doing PW for a long long time. Anyway, my life should be shown on a silver screen. Talk about drama mama. For some reason (and probably it was too much worrying over the fact that I just may not get promoted), I wasn't in a right state of mind and was out of sorts today. After bumming around in the library reading uh intellectual stuff, we proceeded to the canteen to bum some more and then, settled down in the hodge lodge to bum even more. All the bumming around must have gotten to my brain. Since it was raining, I borrowed cheryl's flower power umbrella just so yumin and I could walk to J8 without our blouses getting translucent. We stepped out of the Hodge Lodge and when I was about to wrestle the umbrella out of the cover, yumin went, "eh, I dare you to open the umbrella and walk to the canteen." "huh, why must you dare me. I'm going to open the umbrella now what!" Yumin just looked at me like I was a retard and then I realised that the canteen was 3 metres away from the Hodge Lodge. I think if I really absent mindedly did it, I would feel damn dumb later on 0.o At the link between RI and RJ, I was opened Flower Power before we walked out at the windy benches. YM: What are you doing? Me: huh, raining what! then umbrella use for what. YM: WALK THROUGH RI LAH OMG U DAMN LOSER. haha sorry forgot lor. In the end, I only used Flower Power for the brief few seconds where I opened the umbrella at the windy benches (yes, we were still sheltered, but must prepare for the downpour what) because we ended up taking the bus to J8 -.- Bfeste was a failure HAHA so many people had ISLE, so the only bfeste we had was the mini one in the canteen, and then another update-qiuping-on-recent-happenings feste afterwards. Anyway, it's official. I have promoted cowgrass to cowdung. Joanna's Blonde Moment. Yesterday- Jo: Why are you eating your chicken so slowly? Me: The chicken damn disgusting! I like my chicken soft and succulent! Today- Me: My speech is short and succint okay!! Jo: hahaha like the chicken? Me + everyone: huh? Jo: (as the realisation dawns upon her) HAHA OOPS THE CHICKEN IS SUCCULENT, NOT SUCCINCT. Later on, we were explaining to Tri Joanna's dumb moment. Tri: huh, succulent and succint. What's the link?? oh. SUCC-. (pause) HAHAHA YOU SUCK. ........ I was telling cheryl on msn yesterday. ___crystaaal* says: i can forsee what will happen in the 2 hours tmr ___crystaaal* says: jo and i will all end up redoing/doing our speech, muz will slack, tri will do his ppt and speech cos he hasn't finished doing. and in the end we won't even rehearse until on wed. you mark my words. I KNOW MY PW GROUP SO WELL because that was EXACTLY what we did. Just that I wasn't redoing my speech, but instead I was slacking away with Yumin. After school for some reason, the 4 of us ended up together sitting on the same table with the rest of 6K gone. We started doing everything but pw and then I asked the million dollar question, "WHY AREN'T WE DOING PW? What the hell are we doing now man!" Screw OP -.- ... 12 messages and 7 missed calls -.- 5 calls and 4 messages sent to ask the person who picked up my phone to return them to me. I thought I was going to graduate from RJ, oops I mean RI (JC), without a handphone. BeforeI rush off to do PW and before Amazing Race starts (I will not miss it for the world), I shall blog(: PROJECT WORK. Well, Tri is a loser, what can I say. Tri was supposed to send us the ppt which he compiled ( "TRUST ME", were his exact words. If and only if he says that, Joanna and I will get more worried. But trust him, we did) In the heading of the email, he wrote "I hope I do not disappiont you all" (yes, this is quoted ad verbatim). I opened the attachment, not knowing what to expect, but in a nutshell, the powerpoint was BLACK AND WHITE, with chunks of words lifted out of the report. To put it plainly, it needed major revamping because it sucked. Then, Tri smsed me. "So how was the ppt?" he typed, "I already tried my best." Sensing that he put in a lot of effort (yeah right), I felt rather bad if I dissed his ppt, so I replied "it's okay, just that some things needed to be changed" (yeah, like everything?!) 5 minutes later, Joanna smsed me "WHAT THE HELL HIS PPT DOESNT EVEN HAVE A FREAKING BACKGROUND?" But yeah well, I didn't expect much from Tri. The following day, when Jo was complaining about his substandard ppt during assembly, Tri called Jo. (seeing that he stayed in boarding, he was late, duh.) Tri: THE PPT IS FAKE HAHAHAH JO: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE PPT IS FAKE?! -This is when Joanna had a heart attack, convulsed and died- Yup. Presenting to you, Mr Le Khac's sense of humour. Later on, he happily told us that the bogus ppt to freak us out was done in 20 minutes. At least the "real" ppt was pretty impressive though -.- --- LAWSOC afterwards and nat's malfunctioning thumbdrive had me convulsing with laughter. When I insert any thumbdrive into my laptop, all the pictures in the thumdrive would open in a window. When I inserted Nat's thumbdrive in, pictures popped out on my screen, nothing unusual right? But then I saw this bigboobed woman, with long brown hair that looked nothing like Nat, or anyone whom she is related to. On closer inspection... Nat: OMG IS THAT PORN?! Me: Uh yeah, and it's in your thumbdrive...? Nat: MY SISTER GAVE IT TO ME. SHE SAID SHE GAVE ME THE LOUSIEST ONE... (and also the most porno one hahaha) Me: Maybe your brother used it? (: Nat: ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT YOUR COMPUTER? Me: Hell no, they poppd up with I inserted your thumbdrive!!! I couldn't open her laupok thumbdrive, so I thought her porno thumbdrive infected my laptop. LOL. Thank goodness my laptop wasn't connected to the projector yet -.- otherwise Lawsoc would see a boost in membership the next session. --- Just checked my email and it was bombarded with emails from everyone. I just got the countdown logs "bible", and it is a freaking 30-paged-long-everything-you-need-to-know handbook. No wonder they say you need at least a week to recover from countdown hangover. AND no wonder Lester told everyone not to join logs. But guess who got stuck with it! Hell, I even have to request for mobile toilets. My favourite mobile toilet company name is called "Rent-a-Loo". How appropriate! -- A Pointless Post. One period of PE and I become an invalid. HAHA damn useless I tell you. We weren't even playing for the entie 50 mins, but like, 25 mins max? But I woke up today and back ached, shoulders ached, legs ached. I needed a wheelchair to get around. Even going to the toilet was painful because you need your leg muscles to sit down for that. So that means TIME TO START EXERCISING. I cannot stand it, my skirt is going shorter and shorter by the day because I have to wear it higher and higher due to my ballooning waistline. I need a squash partner/exercise partner, otherwise it'll be time to buy a new skirt, freak. The buffet today (12+ plates of sashimi and countless plates of sushi for everyone) did not help my waistline much either. ): Maybe I will become bulimic haha I just need to go into the toilet at one of the cinemas at Lido. Instant magic. Everything you consumed will be purged out within seconds. Enqi and I decided to go to the toilet before Mamamia started. I admire her for being able to stand the smell of the toilet. But then she came out in record time though HAHA. I went inside for 2 seconds, had a whiff of the putrid smell, abandoned Enqi, rushed out and almost vomitted outside. No, I'm not exaggerating. I was about to puke twice (the fact that it was after lunch contributed too) but I managed to contain my lunch. I actually thought I saw puke in the basin. I think someone couldn't take the smell and puked inside HAHA. OMG I think i will write a tou2su4 letter to lido in preparation of my HCL Os! (: I have never ever smelled anything so bad before?! *MORE PICS COMING UP ONCE PF AND YX UPLOAD THEIRS (: Some of us 408ers met up for sushi buffet and while lamenting about the boring post promos activities, Claire surprised us by saying that she had a free hotel stay. So tadah, we checked into FAIRMONT SINGAPORE on Friday 2 pm, after PW lecture for me, Jas and YM. It's a 5 star hotel if I'm not wrong and it's exactly next to Raffles City. It was actually the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, complete with the view of the Esplanade, the Singapore Flyer, the Merlion, the Singapore River and the skyscrapers. (the night scene is freaking pretty!) SUPER NICE! We lounged around the hotel room for an hour plus camwhoring, going crazy over the sights and the huge toilet (with a bathtub, a shower and a separate state of the art shower. It's not your regular ugly ol' showerhead, but those big high tech ones! Okay I shall stop being amazed by a showerhead)   7 of us were sharing this room, as compared to 408's chalet last year, where there were 3 times the number of people and the room was half the size of this. LOL.  Day view!   Night view! (Pictures are a little blurry cos I couldn't figure out how to use night mode on my cam. oops.)   Auntie Yuxuan bought a bag of food for us and among that bag of food was a rather suspicious looking chocolate bar which we made her pose with (apparently the chocolate bar was from UK 0.o)  The showerhead (at least that's what I think it's called, those big ones spewing water at you from the top like a waterfall) cannot be seen): This is like, 1/4 of the bathroom.   Sorry jas! Couldn't fit you in the cam cos your face too big lah!   LCD TV(:  .. and Claire's 1975737th crush. Speaking of Claire's romantic encounters, this was an excerpt of our conversation. Claire: Do you guys know Mr X and Mr Y? Jas, Zhiying, YM and I: Uh no. Who are they? (since we are physics students and Mr X and Mr Y are in the bio dept) Claire: omg, you guys are missing out on A LOT. (Yuxuan just keeled over and died) After camwhoring, we went to paint the town red (hahaha another one of my bimbo phrases yes zhiying? I threw this one in just for you). Shopped at City Link Mall and Marina (more like window shopped since only Claire bought stuff). Lounged around some more in the hotel afterwards and went night swimming! The whole night atmosphere at the pool was quite romantic, just wrong company. Claire tried to teach Jasmine how to float to no avail and Yuxuan was quite the exercise nut and together we swam 10 (mini) laps in the bigger pool.    We managed only these few pics before getting chased out of the shop Had to go pick PF up at Raffles City because she decided to join us for the night. Everyone was dressed up to the 9s there, while we were only clad in tshirts and FBTs, looking absolutely out of place.  Outside City Link Mall after picking PF up. Spot the anomaly! Yes, ZY was wearing hotel slippers to City Link Mall. LOL. She even bought one pair home as a souvenir. Ordered Macs at 1 am and the food came at 2am. Jasmine and I went down to collect it but forgot out room number. The card didn't say which room we were in. Jas wanted to try sliding the card in slot of a random room, but thankfully I had enough sense to stop her otherwise we would have ended up in the police station on accounts of breaking and entering. Although we didn't do much 3/4 of the time, since our plans all fell through because we were all so lazy (read: Glutton's Bay/Centre ahem, we never did know which one is the correct version), it was still fun hanging out with the 6 of you(: Jasmine, (my bickering sister hahahaha) even though I like to pick fights with you, you know I don't mean it (most of the time) and it has been an enjoyable time verbal sparring with you(: At least you had PF as your ally! (even though she had ulterior motives but we will not come to that) THANKS CLAIRE, FOR THAT WONDERFUL FREE STAY AT FAIRMONT!(: After we went our separate ways, I headed to Jurong East to meet up with 6K. Danial invited us over to hisplace for Hari Raya. Slacked at his house for a bit before leaving to JEC (which we took 18395 hours to decide) I was already dying at that point in time from the lack of sleep. In retrospect, it's going to be a freaking crazy rush until after PW. I was coerced by Serene to sign up for this 2 week intensive higher chinese course at Jiang. 10 lessons in 2 weeks = I don't know how am I going to survive. Plus it starts tmr, so goodbye to my life! That and PW OP, of which I cannot be bothered ): I was telling Nat all about me committing social suicide by signing up for this crash course when she asked about an AK gathering next week. natalie says: a1 yes crystal? YES A1, NAT. (haha scully get D again I can just commit suicide.) oh and Jiahui just told me on msn, hooray for cheap thrills! =) says: crys i think we will be seeing more of each other thru blyc MY HEART JUST SANK. Not so much the seeing more of Jiahui part. lol I hope noone from said organisation ever stumbles upon this blog. PW AND HIGHER CHINESE AND CCAS ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE HOLS. (and that is when remedials start) WOOHOO. LIFE ROCKS. |
