alright here are the more interesting parts of my life…(this post is kinda overdue). haha.
13 March, Black Friday: after the school sports meet, we celebrated the birthdays of inthumkorean birthday babies (abigail, aisyah, shiqah, nadiah & han lyn)! (:
i’m not sure if this celebration can be considered a success cos i didn’t really feel that satisfied myself. but i’m real glad that the birthday girls are happy & contented. haha. oh yeah. han lyn and abigail’s birthday presents were supposed to arrive in time for the celebration but there was some delivery delay (i ordered everything online, except the pizza). so i was quite pissed cos i paid extra for express shipping, and i couldn’t give them the presents formally on the celebration day itself.
anyways, just in case you guys are curious…their presents are actually personalised mugs with their photoshopped pictures printed on. my card reader isn’t working so i can’t post the actual photo of the mug..but nonetheless here are the photoshopped pictures:
haha..i don’t know if the pictures are decent or not cos i did it in quite a hurry and sought only zhaopeng’s comments..but anyways, it’s already too late but i seriously hope that they like the mugs. (:
14 March, Saturday: econs seminar at NTU. okay this one was pretty boring. the seminar’s from 8:30AM to 5PM and jam-packed with lectures, lectures and more lectures. despite that, it’s actually relatively beneficial.
15 March, Sunday: wellness carnival CIP @ Jurong Spring CC. woke up super early in the morning. around 4:15AM if i’m not wrong. we were supposed to be there by 6:30AM. i left home early, and found out that the train service only starts at 6:15AM. shermaine was kinda stranded too, so she took a cab down, picked me up and went to clementi. the cab fare was a bomb – almost $9 from redhill station to clementi station!
okay…we waited for the rest of the ppl at the bus interchange and took a bus there. we alighted a few stops earlier cos we got the location wrong (well, not me…but the rest, i just followed them without realizing. haha.). so we walked until the next stop and realized we’re still quite a distance from the CC. so we boarded a bus again, and finally reached our destination, after 2 stops. well, that was one hell of a transport cost…
anyways, i met azimah and we joined lydia, zakiah and jannah at the games booth. we had to play vic vac voe (simple game whereby you’ve to throw 3 soft, bouncy balls onto a game board in tic tac toe formation to win) with the ppl there. it was quite hilarious, seeing some of the senior citizens showing their super kiasu side. i could vividly remember one old woman who kept queuing up non-stop, determined to lay her hands of the prizes.
i saw lee hsien loong in real life too! he was THIS close to me. hahaha. oh yeah…shiqah was wearing her blazer (cos she’s the main usherer) and she looked lady-like and smart. (this is to formally clarify with her that she’s not fat, weird-looking or whatnot..). haha.
after the long CIP, we went to JP for lunch….and that’s about it. it was quite an enjoyable CIP by far. (made me think why i even thought of going to the old folks’ home for CIP…). lol.
anyways, i remembered we took quite a lot of photos but these are the only ones i can find.
BTW, all the photos above (incl the birthday celebration photos) are proudly stolen from SHIQAH. (:
16 March, Monday: sorta promised jannah the day before to go to SIM for lunch (and to study). we went to this very nice place in SIM called megabites to have our lunch. the food is relatively cheap (as compared to outside prices). the carbonara reminded both shiqah and nadiah of korea..haha.
after which, we went to king albert mac’d to study till 9+ before we left.
17 March, Tuesday: there was extra math lecture from 9am to 11am. it was completely unproductive – i didn’t manage to learn anything at all. anyways, after that, zp and i went to have pepper lunch at IMM (cos we thought we’re meeting shiqah and nadiah at JE lib). i had mistaken JE lib for JP lib! urgh! okay. so ZP PSed me and i headed west, back to JP lib. i mugged from 1PM to almost 9PM there and it was very productive. i finally understand the whole complex number thingy! haha. oh shiqah and nadiah were there earlier at around 10am so they mugged for almost 11 hours! okay anyways, i didn’t realise that i sat in the exact same spot for about 8 hours straight until i stood up and felt really giddy. but it was just for a short while. oh yeah. han lyn was there too and we left together when the lib closed. (:
shoutbacks!
- SHIQAH // no worries…it’s probably just me overreacting. anyways, i really really hope things are going okay between you guys. and we should have more study outings! it’s much more fun to study together. (:
