A long post after a long abstinence.
I have been thinking about what to blog about since a million things have happened to me in this vast expanse of two weeks, one little thing after another, day after day, like components of a BigMac piled up high, squeezed between bread buns, forming a complex, harmonious, and delicious delight worth feasting over and over again.
Okay, I'll talk about yesterday because it's the freshest BigMac I have in my mind right now.
Yesterday was a pretty long day, a pretty long day indeed, a happy and enjoyable and tiring day for me. I woke up at 830 am, abhorrently early, and got myself ready to go to school to do my mathematics project. As usual, the bus ride + 'walk' ride to school was a cataclysmic change to my mood. It seemed like forever when you ride on bus 14 and then bus 162, and then climb the overpass like you're climbing a mountain, and climb the SJII hill as if hell was above the earth and not below the ground. And Juns!! She said she was coming in twenty minutes. Her twenty minutes seemed to be a lot shorter than what I thought twenty minutes could be, 'cause she had a nice comfy car to ride on while on the other hand I had to rely on my nearly-obliterated feet to bring myself all the way to school. We tried opening the grade 11 center but it was closed, as what we expected. I gathered all my guts to storm Mr. Bennett's office with a dazzling smile, a smile of solicitation, and fortunately we were granted permission to use the center. But the guard was nowhere to be found so we weren't able to open it up. Sarah then arrived, wondering why in the world Rowland was in the school as well. Samantha then arrived, also wondering why in the world Rowland was in the school as well. I went scavenging for the guard, and I found him enjoying the pleasures of solitude outside the chapel. He was trailing me behind as if I had a rope tied around him, bringing him in front of the center. Finally, the door was opened, and we spent our time doing our own school agendas.
And as usual, distractions can never be avoided. Sameer appeared, and obviously, I ended up fooling around with him. Notepad conversations are fun!
Sam: SOMEONES GETTING *****! GO ROWLAND!!!!!!
Sam: so? Well on a scale of one to ten... how much do u **** ***?
Rowland: 8
Sam: WOW! That more or less a C****!! NEARLY A BIG ONE!
Rowland: I DUNNO. I L*** *** BUT I DUN WANNA BE A******D (THAT IS, IF *** ***** ME ***). NO ** POLICY
Sam: YEA i understand the no ** policy but asking you to c*** **** means something rowie.. something juicy! What say u?
Rowland: Well. I dun really give a shit. Cant be bothered
Sam: well i think u might be bothered a little cos you actually **** here at 10 even though u c**** h*** s****d h**e and s***p... That means something rowie. You cant fool me. Im Dr Feelgood, the PhD in ***

Sam: hahaaa =D

Sam: nope common.., anything can happen. you know it. listen to the song. u wouldnt want to miss a thing

Rowland: i will be distracted like u are distracting me now
Sam: with good reason

Rowland: ***'* just being friendly DUH. i'm hungry too

Rowland: ANYWAY. ***** IZ **** TOO =d

Rowland: haha i soooooooooo dont believe you

Sam: hahaahahah one night and one more time
thanks for the memories.
:P
Rowland: lemme do my work
Sam: k. now i will mr imperial **n****. Another distraction came to life in the form of Sid. Sid and Sam needed to do their TOK project, and I felt it was more necessary than my maths project, so I decided to lend my laptop to them. They ended up in msn and crashing into my search history. Perverts. I know how to erase my search history dude. hahaha
At around 1pm, Juns, Sameer, Sid, Sarah, and I went to Novena Square to eat lunch at Subway. As usual, I had an Italian B.M.T. As far as I can remember, I have only eaten two types of Subway meal. Cold Cut Trio and Italian B.M.T. We saw Mr. Bennett and his granddaughter! She was mad at Juns and Sarah, ignored poor Sid, and played with Sam. But she was staring at me for the longest time. Hahaha. Am I the father material? haha.
I needed to hurry up to go back to school, so I took a cab and Sam and Sid tagged along with me. There was a huge traffic jam. It was so annoying; to see the taxi meter increasing exponentially was catastrophic. I was frustrated. I just got my allowance! My freaking allowance! And there's a traffic jam! Shit?
I arrived in school for the choir performance. 'Impromptu' choir performance, according to Brother Michael. Of course, indubitably it was impromptu. And it was screwed up too. But I didn't care. I never even thought anyone was listening to us anyway. Of course, for formality's sake, they clapped for us, an indirect way of saying to us 'thank goodness it's over'.
Gabriel, Jessica, Weijie, Rachel, Timothy, and I stayed in the Grade 11 center after the choir thing. I continued doing my mathematics project, and I was happy that I got the will to
do it. The rest of them were just having fun, fooling around, and I just realized that eavesdropping is actually a very good form of entertainment. :)
Six in the evening has cuckooed and we decided to leave the school. Gabriel and I were waiting on the SJII bus stop for bus 132, while Rachel was on the opposite side of the road.
And guess what. They were asking for each other's numbers while they were like... what.. 20 metres apart?






It's so cool. Rachel is there right at the other bus stop, and the two of them seemed like weird people doing weird signs on the road. I wonder what the drivers on the road thought about them.
I went to CJC Hostel to meet up Nalaka, my junior Eunice, my senior Rheyza and my batchmate Kenneth. After that, Nalaka, Eunice and I went to SJI for the Drama Night. We were the earliest ones to arrive because I thought the show starts on 730 in the evening. It was to start at around 8. Eunice and Nalaka got very pissed off with me, but once they learned that I got their tickets tickets for free as well, they began to act like little angels beside me. Ha. We decided to grab a bite at a small restaurant in Tanglin CC, and I tell you, that you must never go there even if you're dying to eat. No need to elaborate.
We watched the SJI drama night, "Out of Order", and I was so happy to see my ex CCA mates who acted in the play, they all did really really well. The play was very good, although I didn't like the beginning part with all the nonsensical dance items. The main themes of the story were conventional, father-son conundrums, teenage angst, rebellion, misunderstandings, puppy love, betrayal, but it's these things that move most audiences' hearts. I loved the play. And I would like to commend Ms. Gerri and Mr. Johnson especially for the spectacular show. Thanks Mr. Johnson for the free tickets. I owe you a lot. :)
After the play, the host (Eunice) and the two parasites (Nalaka and I) went to Island Creamery and grabbed a tub of Nutella ice cream courtesy of Eunice. that's why I referred to her as the host. It was fun, discussing random stuff. We met Jared Koh and Delvin Goh around there. After gaining all those calories from the ice cream, we decided to burn them all by accompanying Eunice to NYGBS. The hostel that looks like a mansion inside but actually it's a hell inside (according to her) :D
Nalaka and I suddenly thought about exploring the Bukit Timah area bacause we knew that quite a number of our classmates live around there. But we dismissed the notion when I noticed that Nalaka was getting sleepy. Instead, we went to Orchard to buy Amanda an ez-link card, and after that another shitty bus ride back home.
It may not sound as fun and exciting when it's written down in words, but that day was a happy day for me. A really happy day for me.
