For You A Thousand Times Over.

This is Me and My Room mate.


Over the weekend (including Friday),

# I had one last meal with a friend leaving in search of his own W.ondergirl, ate til I was so full, carried a friend's (guy! wooh) backpack on his behalf.

# I left for touch with my jersey, boots, socks, etc but stood under the orange umbrella to cheer the team on. Before half time I walked over to the stands to retrieve my things in temptation to play. But Coach waved her finger and gave a BIG No-no.
I was also late for A.rthur's 21st where I became a big party pooper and felt eternally bad. I learned about making bad decisions but how sometimes we are given second chances.
I also met a friend-on-crutches who had to sneak out of the house and "steal" car keys and drive with an almost disfunctional left leg for a cup of tea while we pondered over decisions we've made/we're going to make, philosophies of life and our future.
I also laid in bed to enjoy the rain and wind though it was almost 4 in the morning and I was still sick.

# I came back to school early on the account of "work to do" (which is not entirely false) because sometimes you choose to follow your heart over a stubborn mind. And you find out it's not too bad a choice either. Accompanied lonelymiserablesickpathetic S for dinner and caught F1 in the TV room over dinner.

# I also abruptly, impulsively, suddenly decided that I want to go GIPCHINA and am going to apply. Oh, the power of persuasion. However, the definite decision will only be made when the acceptance email is received, and of course when I manage to convince myself of all the commitments I can leave behind and safely say, return to six months later.

# I have also spent a huge amount of time with Kite Runner when I should be finishing my readings for the meeting on Tues. But this is definitely better than Thousand Splendid Suns!

Just When You Need It.

I'm too lazypazy to source pictures from the week, so here's the most recent one.

Today, we went cosplaying at the Toygames and Comic exhibition. Most of our first time but definitely not our last, I daresay. Only Jel and J.eannette are dressed and Jiel's outfit is like JAW DROPPING. =)

We were greeted by stages filled with W.ii and GuitarHero, lotsa Anime stuff esp TOFUMAN. Lotsa cutesy stuff too which most of us cannot identify, we saw live-sized Darth Vader, Mario, Iron Man, Halo, etc. What you see is really what you get, in a good way.

Also supported our legendary pageant-babe-captain-ek who thrased her opponent in the W.ii slicing game HANDS DOWN. We wore "Bi(4) Sheng(4)" bands over our heads in support of her and screamed til everyone around us shot death stares. :( Though she didn't win, she still looked damn awesome up on stage. And her catwalk was the best without a doubt!!

We (actually just J.eannette) was so absorbed into everything, we forgot the time and forgot about lunch. XP and I couldn't take it so we left to eat with Angie while the other 2 continued oogling at the awesome costumes. Oooohlalala.


My right elbow's currently (badly) grazed again. =( Oh, hello to the rocky sandy field at turf and weekend leagues there again. We had an oh-kay first game. Score doesn't matter, but we definitely can do much better(:
Had lunch with Sonny before catching her Super15s game(: Then dinnered at Amk and caught UP!(: I'd give it 5 stars! Seriously. It made me tear twice and I could hear people sniffing/sobbing/wailing. Really good show(: Much better than the trailer made it seem(:
Five thumbs up! :D


Friday's date for xlb buffet was completely spoilt thanks to rude service staff at Cj but oh well, in return we had a complimentary dinner at Tango's (Thank you Ah gong and your daddy! (: )
Food was pretty damn good and I really like the steak(: (Which I didn't order cos I was too tired to chew). Post dinner plans detoured to I.slandCremery for a tub of Applepie((: Happiness in its simplest form(:

SCHOOL;
As usual, the first week's boring and slack. And a little too much to handle with the unlimited changes to cope with. I honestly thought I'd be the busy one but seems like it's the other way round. The first night, I made a trip back to THIRTEEN to visit old neighbours and check out the new rooms. DAMN NICE, a little jealous but it's ok(: I'm fine not staying there anymore. Then one night, I suddenly felt at an all time low (maybe it's the post-holiday syndrome) I randomly called Jiel and freaked her out. To think we were still fine a few hours ago, I definitely made her worry. So sorry my dear ROAD RICE. Ily much. *beams

Trainings were ok, neither team had to do extra set of conditioning since we "played so hard". (:
Then friendly down at W.OODLANDS with the Rpee boys. Turned out pretty good(: Am proud of my team for making it this far(: Though the rewards for Best Performer each friendly has reduced from lanyards, keychains and water bottles to boxes of RAISINS, everyone's still performing better than they did previously. Good job, Team(:


So here's to another week of boring, sucky school life.
With CCA fair to keep me busy through the day.


PS: Finally got down to getting K.iteRunner(: Can't wait to finish it so see which book is better!
