heyo! I'm like in the middle of my september holidays right now, and I'm slacking so much! haven't really been doing alot of work, and I've been going out alot (which is what the holidays is for anw). but I'm very very glad that I actually have time to rest and escape from school at least for this one week. I badly needed the break. well, so here's a rundown on what's been going on for me these few days!

Friday (290808)

after leaving school at 0015hrs on friday morning making cups for teachers' day, we had to be in school by 0630 again. it was quite a mad rush to properly sort out all the cups which we had designed the previous night, but we made the deadline in the end. just! managed to last through the last teachers' day celebration of my life in RI, with it being rather interesting. it finished quite early though, around 9am. I think overall it was quite a success, considering that the response was quite good. and also because the team really didn't have alot of time to work out the stuff, and alot of the stuff was really last minute. but congrats to Shaun Yeo and team (:

anyway after the celebrations, we had to do some clean up. thanks to zhiyou's vacumm cleaner, we cleaned up the hall in a flash! then popped by kemama shop to play some table tennis with the 4k guys before going to play pool! oh man, the table tennis table really reminds me of the time i used to train in potong pasir CC when I was really small, and the times I would play at the void deck of the HDB block where they have really old tables there. table tennis rally with 4K, fun!

so after that, we went to dhoby ghaut to play pool! the last time I played pool before this was way back in june, so I needed to un-rusty-fy my skills. thankfully, this session went okay and I came out of it quite happy! after that we went to burger king to have lunch, where we sat and talked about random stuff for close to 2 hours, before going to the cathay to browse for a while.

Saturday (300808)

went to ECP! we had quite a secluded spot near the end of the jetty, so we had quite alot of space to ourselves. which was really good, cause we wanted to play things like frisbee and soccer. so we started off with playing some very random games. RANDOM! we had this scavenger hunt thingy where one of the items were 2 coconuts. so me, hongfei and kuanyue walked super super long to find somewhere which sold coconuts, seeing that there was not a coconut tree in sight. in the end, we found coconut can drink -.- at least it was better than nothing.

then after more random stuff, we finally could play soccer! the ground was slippery already to start with, and then it started raining. so it was really wet, but then we still continued to play. I got quite tired from all the running up and down and falling down. but for soccer, it's always worth it I guess.

the scenery and the sky was quite nice, after the downpour. I took a while to stand by the beach and take in the horizon and what I could see of the sunset from the east coast. It's really been a while since I stopped to stare at such beauty, and it felt quite good. I love the portraits the sky can paint with its colours, because it just dazzles me with its beauty. and then I went to sit on the beach, and take in the waves and all. I just love it, really. I felt so free, for that moment.

Monday (010908)

I overslept! okay not good, not good at all. I was supposed to be in school at 10am, so i woke up at 9am. but then I stupidly accidentely fell back asleep, until 11am when shanzhi called me. sighh. so I went to school to meet shanzhi, mooty and zhixuan for some tennis/table tennis, but we ended up playing only the table version in the end. seriously, that table is going to bring back all my childhood memories I tell you!

had to go meet up with some of the other guys to do lit comedy soon though. me, shanzhi and mooty crashed shoujian's house so that the three of us could go there to discuss our own group's production as well, seeing how we are all quite worried about it now, but having no mood to do anything actually. so in the end, true to our word, we ended up not doing lit! we went to watch some random video about some swimmer and then tried to make a booking for "the cage". then I had to leave already.

Tuesday (020908)

CAGE WITH 4K GUYS! haha super fun (:

even though I wasn't exactly feeling very very physically fit, I still managed to play alot and enjoy quite abit. In the middle of one game, I pulled something in my knee and behind my calf, but then I ran it off and thought it was okay alr. haha Shanzhi's brother (shanquan), Sean's brother (seth) and jianxiong all crashed today.

went to dhoby Xchange to have lunch after that, and we sat at the same table as the last time! haha randomly coincidental. and I think I ate the same thing too, although I'm really not too sure. shoujian wanted to go and buy his bag after that, so we followed/tailed him around plazasing for a while scouting for nice stuff! then we went to play pool, again! this time I took even more nice shots (:
