Days gone by...

I am half bored here in Batam (even though today was pretty busy with over 50+ visitors visiting) and I just found out that I could use the internet, so I decided to blog! Even though I have internet access, I will not go online until Sunday when I get back to Singapore. I have to learn some self-control and I also want some degree of isolation to clear my mind a bit. I'd miss you people while I'm here (withdrawal symptoms hmm) and that'll contribute to me wanting to treat everyone better when I go back because I will then know what it feels like to not have you guys around. (not good at all)

I probably will blog for three days running because I really think I'll have nothing to do from tomorrow on, so keep checking up on my blog if you like to read my senseless writings, or if you miss me already! (probably isn't applicable to anyone, but well, it's alright to hope!) Senseless is the new epic, or so it seems from my point of view, but this post shall make a measured bit of sense though; its always good to strike a balance! I shall write a highly logical progression of events, very uncharacteristic of me but well, I've changed and so will my writing style. (me changing = permanent. writing style changing = temporary.)

Okay, whatever happened in recent times, my short-term memory only recalls the happenings after the Henderson Chinese New Year CIP. That's last week! My short-term memory isn't that bad after all. So yeah, 'twas a Saturday morning as cool and breezy as any cool and breezy day, if you get what I mean. Met with Yee Ching at Bishan MRT pretty early to make our way to the event venue: Redhill! So the train ride went by with Yee Ching asking me about elasticity concepts. (I still remember! Coke and Pepsi example! Woots. Random memory.)

When we reached block 91 Henderson Road, we were one full hour early and we just sat down stoning and talking while I read my vectors notes and Yee Ching her Newsweek article on the proliferation of ceasefires in Iraq. The event soon came, though, and we just went around making ourselves useful distributing buffet-style food to the elderly gathered there. Distribute, distribute, smile, smile, and soon no one else wanted the food and we sat with the elderly singing Cantonese songs. I don't know a single word of Cantonese (okay maybe I know er.. dim sum) but I smoked and sang along anyway. Yee Ching, on the other hand, grew up on Canto evergreens and even went up to sing with the elderly. Wish I could do that! So yeah, sing song, sing song, smile smile, happy happy. The elderly had so much fun singing and dancing along to the music, we had fun too. It felt really good to see the elderly so happy and so youthful, and we were a part of it! :) The rest of the day was spent doing the ILPP up and nothing but ILPP and chatting on MSN. Oh I met Monkey at Bugis and I met Joanne, Sherman etc. at Artfriend :)

I am stupefied by my ability to write so logically. Never knew I could do that!

Sunday's next, and it started earlier than most of my Sundays. Food Samaritan! Okay, so the 6G-ers who went were me, Damian, Henry, Yee Ching and Shu Yan. There were like, only NINE J2s around! Weird, since the organizers were all J2 and by right their friends should be the ones supporting them. It didn't matter though! We first packed all the goods provided by FairPrice (food and non-food) into recyclable shopping bags, flattened all the used boxes and went on the bus to our distribution sites. The bus ride was a terrible hour long ordeal! Ugh, and apparently we were standing on the bus while there were seats. Smart. So we reached Chai Chee and split into our groups; senior 6Gs and junior 6Gs split to two locations.

We reached ground zero only to find that the goods were not there yet. So we just sat around and Damian camwhored with Mr Ken Toh's son, Keith, who loves to kick cockroach butt! Stuff came after what seemed like aeons and we moved out in our pairs to distribute the food. Me and my partner (nice girl who was from RV and lives at Adam Road) had to go to the furthest blocks of flats in the rain. Zzz. It was pretty cool though, but very tiring. The bags were really HEAVY! Okay so we moved here and there, carrying heavy bags and giving them away to the people who needed them. The end! Haha. Went over to meet the two juniors and went to MRT my way to Dhoby Ghaut from Bedok, walking around for a while and then going to Darul Ihsan for reading session. I was late again and I had to run in the rain! Argh. And so Sunday went, and never will there be another Sunday as such.

Two days and I have already written so many things even though I cut most of the details out. Now you know how colourful my life has been so far, don't you? I realised that this post is getting a bit long.. I'll cut some days out so that you won't fall asleep!

Monday: School + training. The end.

Next comes Tuesday! Haha yeah apparently I only had one day to cut out from the "must-blog-about" category. Too bad!

School came, and school went. I was released at 1pm and I went to pitch to Ashley for an hour or so, ending one SRC game in the process with only one controversial walk. Fine. Then the fun came! I saw some of the juniors walking out and went with them to NTUC to purchase some of the stuff they needed to make the jellies for CNY street market. Walk talk, walk talk, shop shop, buy buy. Went to Shu Yan's house (Sixth Avenue, Jalan A.H. or H.A. as Angela calls it.) after that to make the jellies with the juniors. I felt so old but well, young too! Haha. Make jelly, laugh, make jelly, laugh, stone, laugh, play finger, laugh, get video-ed, laugh, watch videos, laugh, make story, laugh, etc. Went home on 156, redefined the word "sleep", said my goodbyes and went home to rush my very important work. Slept 4 hours...

CNY celebs came next! Actually there was nothing much happening except that I just kept playing finger with Yaze and the rest, oops, I meant Liuhao. Took some pictures, ate some jelly, sang many "HEY"s to all the CNY songs and lao-ed the "fish life". (yu sheng lol) After that I had to rush off home to prep myself to go to Batam. Said my goodbyes, boarded the mega crowded ferry, slept all the way to Batam. Finally, after one month, I get to see my brother again! Haha. Still slim and sleek as an LG chocolate phone, and apparently learning bass. Cooooool. I don't remember what I did yesterday except eat. Haha!

And so today is today. $$ and food. *slurp* PIZZA for dinner later!
