Alas, 2 weeks have passed (forget the numerics, I'm rather hopeless at Math) before I blog again. So let me try to recount (however disjointed the sections of recount are; forgive me :p) the main events that has happened. Wait, let me try recounting in terms of TOPICS, instead of chronological order, because I absolutely cannot remember what happened on a day by day basis...
(Alert: System check has detected memory leakage due to system overload that could possibly slow down the system. i.e. due to stress my brain juice is leaking.) :S So here goes: 1. Debates / JGs: Team 1 lost to SCGS 1. It's sad, but life goes on. And Team 1 did GREAT! I mean, for all of us, who've only started debates 3 months, or at most 5 months before, it's really quite good. Well, there's still the JC Invitationals (hmmm, how about a Nanyang Invitational? :p) and next year's JGs to look forward to. We'll be back. Definitely. 2. CAP: Oh my gosh I actually got into CAP!! *happiness* Come to think of it, I'm actually thankful I didn't get in last year, but got in this year. This year's going to be much more fun, I can tell -- it's residential! I mean, when you actually have a residential camp, there's more of a kind of camp spirit there, instead of just a series of day workshops and talks. Isn't it? 3. Bonesetter's Daughter play: Argh, I can't believe myself. I actually forgot to ask Miss Ng earlier about the auditions! Anyway for all 3/6'ers, auditions are likely to be next week, but I don't know when. It seems everyday on the calender is filled. :S 4. Group outing to watch "Prince and Me"; yesterday (Thurs): What can I say, but that it was...a streak of colour in a whole week of monochrome! One setback: At Lido I was searching for the toilet for a total of 20 minutes! I went upstairs and walked 2 times around the whole level but never found the toilet. Finally I had the sense to check downstairs for the toilet and found it. Zilch sense of direction is just a bonus. I suppose armchair critics would sit back in their chairs and go, "Hmmm...this is good and that is good, but overall, the plot has little dimension." (in other words: stupid bimbo movie) But hey, we need that every once in a while to rejuvenate ourselves with laughter. And speaking of laughter, there was this particular incident which I still laugh at whenever I recall. The movie had ended, and WuF was complaining that she shouldn't have bought such a big tub of popcorns because we only finished 1/6 of it. I was asking her how much did she eat, and she held the tub with one hand, measuring the level with the other hand. "This much," she said. Then smart me, being the active and itchy-fingered person that I am, tapped / poked the popcorn tub with ONE FINGER (I stress again, ONE finger). And the popcorn tub dropped. No, to be more accurate, it FLEW out of Wuf's hands, FLEW into a HIGH ARC / trajectory, and landed face-down 2 rows in front. It would have flown further, had one end of the tub not touch the tip of the seat. What happened next I can still vaguely remember. Wuf screamed and covered her face with her hands in horror. The cleaners around us gasped in horror and moaned (they had only just finished sweeping that area before it was showered with popcorn). I stared in shock at the scenario before me, trying to recall what exactly had happened. Then I replayed the trajectory arc of the Flying Popcorn Tub in my mind and I started laughing so hard that I collapsed back onto my seat-- I couldn't help it, it was so hilarious. After Wuf apologised to the cleaners in embarrassment, we quickly made our way out. End of the Popcorn episode. (it greatly consoles me that the popcorn that was spilled, was going to be thrown into the dustbin anyway) 5. Outing / cycling at East Coast Park; today (Friday): Went cycling at East Coast Park with Renyi and Liew Qi. Fun-ness! I just so love cycling! As I recall, I can almost feel the cool wind in my hair again, and that exhilaration as I sped downhill...The joys of cycling. The joy of speed, and that of the silent, light swiftness. Unfortunately, we didn't get to kayak. Maybe I'll go kayaking some day when I'm free. =) *loves water sports* 6. UWC student: I think we learned quite a bit about Mexico today, as well as its past, and status quo. It was rather weird and overly formal, because we were all sitting in our seats like normal lessons, and (worst of all) we actually did the "Class stand, class bow, class greet. Good morning Mr. Hugo" thing! Argh, and all of us raised our hands before we asked questions and some even stood up to speak! I mean, err yeah, respect is there (right smack in your face), but...he's just a student! And it's supposed to be a cultural exchange. So much for student exchanges... Ah well.... 7. Speeches: Ah, I really like English lessons! Nowadays we either watch movies (think "Joy Luck Club", which I really like) or we do impromptu speeches (hurrah for speeches, both prepared and impromptu!), which I just so happen to like a lot. The title of my prepared speech was "Youth is sweet, and we are growing", which's a quote from Aristotle. It's basically about treasuring our youth. Miss Ng actually marked it quite high. No wait, she gave me a really good grade--much better than what I expected. Haha, can't wait for her to burn the video she took of us into vcd so I can watch how funny I look when I give speeches. My second speech was an impromptu speech on the importance of a smile in our lives. Ha ha. My third speech was an impromptu speech on women's issues. I kind of made a weird speech -- not the normal argumentative speech but a narrative-like story of "my" previous lives....Ha ha. 8. Random gushings on icecream: Ice-cream is heavenly! Let's see. Haagen-Daz icecream is nice, but I prefer those just-made ones, instead of those in tubs sold at super-markets. E.g. Venezia and Hans Anderson's icecreams are really really mouth-watering! Gorgeous ice-cream, yum, yum! I suppose that's the end of the blogging. Till next time, ciao!
