On A Sunny Saturday

The above title is quoted from Jin :P Need to credit it in case she sues me. LOL!

Lets start with this incredible long post.

On Saturday, we (Kaching) decided to meet up for Sushi Buffet with the intention to spend our $100 CapitalMall voucher away. My brother and I arrived at Cine at around 1.30pm and we found the others sitting outside Frolic at Basement 1. This seriously brings me back memories when Joyce and I would without fail get a yoghurt from Frolic after our Hip Hop dance lesson because of her tremendous-cannot-be-controlled urge for it. Well anyways, we got information from Kar Wee that they spent 1 hour from 12pm to 1pm at Somerset MRT gathering everyone. That is like so NORMAL! After that, they finally settled down at Frolic and were deciding on a place to go because Suki Sushi was full.

Several minutes passed and Sandy came. Somehow or another, we started walking to the Sakae Sushi Outlet at Scape. More memories! Argh. As expected by the others, it was EMPTY! And so we found our SUSHI! The best part was we managed to enjoy the Youth deal when more than half of us were over the age limit which was 21. The waiter assumed we were part of the “Youth” group and gave us the deal so I guess we couldn’t reject it :P

We split ourselves into 3 tables. Somehow or the other, the OGLs ended up sitting with themselves and Liana. Then Vivian and Flora suggested that we mixed around after awhile so that everyone gets to chat with each other. At first I was thinking, so we move with our plates and chopsticks or something?

And so we started our BINGING! My brother started complaining that Jia Ling shouldn’t sit near the belt because she was slow in getting those plates that he wanted. The funny thing was she admitted that she was slow and insisted that my brother should ask her to take the plate much earlier beforehand. Super hilarious.

In the end, our table died pretty fast because we ate really quick initially and then our speed died off. Table 1 on the other hand seriously prepared for the buffet. It was an all girls table but they ate the FASTEST! Suddenly, its no longer guys eat more than girls because Table 3 which was an all guys table ate the most little compared to the others! In the end, they started playing games with people from the other tables so that they could get the food off their table.

My brother and ZY in a heated match trying to fight it out with the traditional Rock, Paper and Scissors.

Apparently the pro won match after match. So they managed to clear lots of sushi off their table. They got so into the games that they started practising real hard so that they could win Shah and force him to eat the sushi they couldn’t finish.

Shah, being conned/convinced to play.

Finally we finished all the sushi that we ordered. Vivian, Flora and Abi started to give us pointers on how to score on our assignments. It was literally a “moths to flame” scene when all of us perked our ears and gathered around them so that we could jot down the invaluable tips given.

Oh. There was Jialing and her talent. She’s able to make her index and little fingers touch when we do the “no link” sign. All of us tried so hard and we failed at it. I guess this kind of things are innate and can’t be learnt. Well, the others started to show off that they can do the ET hand though where the index and middle fingers would touch each other while the ring and little finger are together. Those who couldn’t do started to defend themselves by calling those who could “Aliens”. What they actually said were “You guys aliens so can do!” LOL.

We continued joking around about how Sandy spent more time standing up than sitting down because she kept going out to answer calls and stuff.

After that, we paid up according to our own tables after that and took pictures outside Sakae Sushi. We wanted to have the shop entrance as background but there wasn’t enough space so in the end we had to take it the other way instead.

Pictures from our Sushi experience below.

Guess we spent a long time deciding where we would go next again. It was confirmed to be The Hang Out Place which we realized was renamed to be PlayNation when we arrived there.

On our way out of Scape, we saw this sign. 2AM today. Kar Wee and Jin started joking that 2AM would be coming to visit this shop that day. At first I really thought they were -.-

While walking to Dhoby Ghaut MRT, we saw Quan Yi Feng and some Mediacorp crew.

Laura, Jin and I hummed and sang to songs on our way to PlayNation. Laura and I agreed that Jin is a JUKEBOX! She knows almost every single song! It’s really amazing how she can know so much songs here and there. She also told me more about SNSD and those videos I should watch. Blehs. If I continue watching, I’ll never be able to complete my assignment so I guess I’ll watch them only AFTER I have completed my individual assignment. Promise to myself (:

We reached in around 30 minutes. I was so shocked at the price. 1 hour only costs $3.50 per person. How is that possible? I remembered in the past when my JC mates and I went to Settler’s Cafe and paid a hefty price ): CONNED! Now I know another cheap and budget place we can go to (:

From the many board games available there, we picked “The Big Taboo”! There’s a huge difference that makes this game more fun which is it combines Pictionary and other elements in it. Once we opened the box, Vivian was so attracted to Bob, our new friend for the day. It’s purple, had super long arms and legs. Gives me the urge to just tie them all up and I guess I did that :X

Bob, with his hands and legs tied up by me :X

Amid the noises (which was made from the other tables. There was this table which kept laughing), the guy there managed to explain to us the rules and guide us on how to play the game properly.

I was the only one listening attentively while the others were like staring at the board? :X Actually to say the truth, I was just trying to hear what the poor guy is trying to say while resisting the urge to stone. LOL.

We started the game (like finally?) with 3 teams! Jin, Kar Wee, Jiajun and Laura in one; Abi, my brother and I in another; Vivian, Shah, ZY and Jun Qi in the last.

The Pictionary drove some people crazy and now we know who can’t draw for nuts.

Try to identify a yoyo here.

All of our drawings.

The climax of the game was when it was time to use Bob to help us. The purpose of this part of the game was to use Bob to act out words or actions. Its really difficult with his flimsy long hands and legs but some of us managed to somehow. For example Laura who could get her mates to guess 5 correct in only a minute. The “Sleeping” action was the best. She just kind of dumped Bob on the table flat and they shouted “SLEEPING” immediately. Junqi’s team on the other hand couldn’t cooperate with Bob at all. Makes me laugh to think about it. Taboo also drove some of us insane. Kar Wee was attempting to make his mates guess Stomach by saying “Beside the liver”. But nobody understood. Well, he tried his best. The advice is, do not use scientific terms during Taboo. haha.

We too many videos of our game playing. Will get it from Shah soon and post it up here (:

And so, we exceeded the time limit of one hour but the shopkeeper was so nice to just charge us an hour cost. Thanks!

Took a photo before we left the place.

It was 6.30pm. My brother, Vivian and I left while the others went to Plaza Sing to have dinner.

Overall, it was a super fun day out. So exhausted after the board game. We need to gather like this once in awhile, all of us and create more happy and fun memories! :D

Kaching <3!

Notes: Photos have been taken by Jin, Shah and me (:

FRIDAYYYYYY!

My eyes hurt ): I think the reason is because of my colour contact lens. Argh. Super irritated by it. My right eye is suffering!! GAHHH.

Well, it has been days since I’ve typed a sensible post so shall I start? (:

Finally, its a morning lecture today! Seriously, I can’t believe that Class A gets all the morning lectures. Every time I reach school, I can see all the gleams on everybody’s faces. HELLO? They ended class and are on the way home or out while WE have not even started our lecture. I can’t exactly say that afternoon lectures are all BAD. At least we don’t have to wake up early in the morning, but still, I want to go home early once in a while and go out to chill with my friends ):

Somehow or the other, I managed to scrap through Accounting class without sleeping. Wait. I have never slept in class before. Let me rectify that sentence. I managed to not STONE throughout the lesson. Normally, I would just zone out before 30 minutes the class has commenced. It usually goes like this. Lecture starts for 5 minutes. Everyone is trying to settle down and listen to the lecturer. 10 minutes, everyone has their notes out and is ready to listen. 20 minutes, lecturer starts to go into some confusing concepts and I try my best to understand them. 25 minutes, I struggle through trying not to give up that easily. 30 minutes, its over. I’M LOST and nobody can get me back. I would then look around and try to examine those faces around me.

Some look like they are totally immersed in the lesson and thats when I go “Oh shit I’m so dead”. Then I catch some around me that are busy talking and I’ll go “Phew. At least I’m not that bad”. But when I see these few that are busying copying and attempting the questions on the notes, I’ll start to feel this stress accumulating. My brain will start reprimanding me for being so stupid and not being able to comprehend those theory that the teacher has taught. Then I’ll reflect on why I’m so dumb and my classmates are not. After that I doubt whether I’m in the correct place at all and maybe I’m just wasting my time and money away. By the time I finally would lose myself, the bell saves the day! It’ll bring me back to reality and I’ll hear my classmates ranting to me that they do not understand whatever the lecturer was saying and we’ll agree to study together and help each other out.

Oh. I guess I digressed quite far. Lets get back shall we (: And so, after accounting, the few of us from Class B decided to have our lunch at West Mall! Ah. Before that, we went to the library. Swee Hong and I picked up this book that teaches us how to read faces. So we started our amateur skills and learnt a couple of points here and there. For example, SH has a even and symmetrical hairline which says that she is a good socializer which she tried to prove after that. My brother who had this “m” shape hairline has a desire for men. I mean DON’T LOOK AT ME. THATS WHAT THE BOOK WROTE. SH and I were laughing our hearts out when I remembered that we were in a library and shushed us all up. On the way out, SH was busy telling me why I couldn’t be a librarian because I’ll most probably shout at everyone and tell them to shut up because its the library!

At West Mall, we finally decided to eat at Burger King after numerous objections of Zhan Yang’s suggestion of Subway. When we were in the fast food outlet, I was happily showing off the taro pie coupon I had (because of the other day when they ran out of pies which devastated me), Zhan Yang then got excited together and exclaimed that he had 2 of those. And so, we had our TARO PIES! So happy! Been a long time since I had one. Argh. Suddenly recall the Uniqlo days ):

We went to the counter to get our orders taken. There were these three queues which ZY then my brother and lastly, Jas Tan and I queued respectively. We then realized that ZY got into the correct queue because those that were in front of him were all wearing shirts similar as his. So he blended into the group without a hitch. Somehow or the other, the conversation developed into a ZY’s queue is a HD while my brother’s is a D and the girls’ were a C. That’s unfair! We spent the time arguing that who was HD and who wasn’t. When we went back to our seats, I teased ZY that he sat at the wrong table. He was confused at first but when he finally turned his head to look at where I was pointing, he gave me that lame face :X Apparently those guys sitting behind him were wearing shirts. I mean, he really seems to be part of them! :X

We chatted during our meal and seriously had a fun time. It’s been days since we’ve hanged out together as a group. After that, Fabian and YC left us. Then we crashed at the arcade. There’s this Friday deal right now that when you top up 20 bucks, you’ll get 20 bucks free. So I guess we enjoyed external benefit :X (econs econs…) because ZY went to top up his timezone card. I had to say that both Jas Tan and I were super surprised at how excited he could be. I guess he was reviving his childhood days or something around there.

First up was the air…. hockey? match that Jiajun and ZY had. Jiajun lost terribly to ZY to a score of 3 to 7 I think. Then my brother competed against ZY. For some reasons, ZY kept missing the …. (whats the thing called) by a millisecond. So my brother’s score just kept increasing while he couldn’t get over the shock of his “slowness”. Must be the old factor :X Wait. They are the same age.

Basketball was next. JJ and ZY managed to get to the fourth stage. Actually, it was the first time I’ve see people get so far so I was pretty shocked.

After that was PHOTOHUNT! We were so hooked that we just kept playing. JJ was trying to avoid being labelled “Liability” and tried his best in identifying the differences. I guess his efforts paid off in the end and he got so much better in spotting them. PhotoHunt got to be the game I love most in Arcades! Well, thats the only game that I like…. :P

Oh wait. I forgot that ZY and JJ competed against each other in a Daytona’s match. ZY was at first in the lead when he realized that he couldn’t get past gear 2 because of the faulty controls. However, he managed to get lucky because JJ’s phone rang and then the sight of my brother holding the phone to his ear and JJ trying to focus on the game and answer the call at the same time was so hilarious. In the end he gave up and asked my brother to answer it instead. Things got heated up and JJ won afterall. I guess gear 2 can never win gear 4. Oops. Did I just overlook JJ’s skills? I wonder if his victory was due to the controls or him… Hmm..

Jin, Sandy and Junqi met up with us. Chatted with them for awhile and then Jas Tan, my brother and I left. Really tired ><” and my eyes HURT like crazy so I thought I should just go home and rest.

Well, I shall go sleep and let it recuperate. Good night people (:

Before that, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIAYING! LOVE YA! I wonder if you’ll see this :l

Rant, rant and more rants

I feel so emotionally stressed!! I think its going to lead to distress soon -.- not eustress. Gosh. I feel so tired. Everything’s weighing me down ): I thought with school, I would feel much better, with more time to myself but I guess I was wrong. Many things have been happening lately. They are eating up so much of my time and energy. Its not like they ain’t worth it but I guess I’m the one at fault. I can’t cope with them ): Haix.. I really wish there’s more than 24 hours a day. Just an hour would help a lot too ):

Actually had lots of things in mind to blog about but right now I feel super drained. Too tired to do anything. All I want to do is lie on bed and get enough sleep. My dark eye circles are expanding at the speed of light. Pretty soon, you won’t even see my eyes anymore. Maybe I’m evolving into a panda. Argh. Whatever.

Bye people.

SUNDAY!

Finally got my new notebook yesterday (: Actually wanted a Macbook Pro but I decided to give it up after my brother convinced me that it ain’t worth its expensive price tag. So, I got the notebook of my second choice, Vaio E :D Guess its obvious what colour I got. I was contemplating on the spot whether I should get a sleek Black or cute Hotpink. Well, the latter won after all :P

Well, haven’t got the time to actually transfer my stuff over yet from the previous laptop. I have not even completed my homework for a start -.- Gosh. Procrastination! I’m gona get a HD!! I don’t care. Oh. For your information, HD stands for High Distinction, not High Definition. HAHAHAHA :X

Ah. And thanks for popping over to visit my mum yesterday (: You guys really cheered her up. Good news! She’s going to be discharged in two days time. Guess the doctor really predicted correctly, 1 week of hospitalization is all she needed. Her recovery was so speedy! During the first few days she was still weak and all..

Brother: Lets go….

*okay okay. Closes notebook..*

Packed Schedule

I can’t believe how fast time FLEW. 5 days almost seemed like 5 minutes. Okay. Exaggerated, but still, TOO FAST. People always tell me that once the first digit of your age hit 2, time will pass even faster and then suddenly, you’re already using a walking stick. I haven’t reach that “turning point” yet but I can feel the acceleration in time already even though I’m only 19 this year. Well, some says that 20 is when your “LIFE” begins. I don’t know that yet but I guess I’ll know soon. No matter what, I hope its good news.

This week had been really packed (The week hasn’t been totally past yet but I’m already feeling the tension). There was driving lessons in the middle of school, totally hated it. I’m starting to develop a fear, nono. A sense of hatred towards driving. Start to hate it seriously bad. Every time a lesson approaches, I want to think of millions of excuses to get out of it. But never would I miss it, why? MONEY BINDS ME TO THE COURSE! Also, I have to keep reminding myself how I want to just get it OVER and DONE WITH! I can’t push it back any further either because my PDL expires during September. I wish time can pass even faster. Gosh. Life sucks with driving lessons. IT DOES.

Plus, I seriously DETEST the SSDC website. Every time I want to book more lessons, it HANGS. It just does not want to earn my money. Crap -.-

Well anyways, I’m starting to get used to University life. We thought it was slack, I thought it was, until I realized how LITTLE effort I’ve been putting into my studies. And right now when I’m on track? I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME! There is actually quite a number of things to do for each module ): I got to work hard if I want to get a good degree. Not just one with credit! ><”

Been going to the hospital frequently right after school lately. Quite happy to see my mum recovering (: But still, a little disappointed here and there because I hoped for a speedy recovery, perhaps a little too much ><” Oh well, its at least really fast!

Actually, its pretty funny when you think about it. Every single day, I go over to the same place with my brother and see the same people there. Whether its the nurses or the visitors. No matter how different we are, we’re family and kins to the patients. We care and thats why we’re there. They are there for the same purpose as us. To catch a glimpse of our loved ones, make sure they are recovering okay, make sure that their needs are all met by the nurses there. Actually, nurses really need to be appreciated much more. They do so much for us and yet we almost give nothing in return. It’s true that sometimes we get too demanding but I guess thats how much we care about our loved ones. But still, nurses are great! I respect you guys a lot!

Okay. Time to sleep. Before that, I need to yell in the mirror “I’m fabulous!” Thats the way we get MOTIVATED and want to go to school, as quoted by one of my SIM lecturers. Let’s see if that works. HAHA. Have a good night people (:

—————————————-

Forgot to mention that we’ve already formed our groups! :D Given the freedom this time round, compared to during JC, I hope we’ve made the right choice. NONONO! I’m sure we can do much better as we’re now all MATURE ADULTS. LOL. Okay. I’m going crazy. OH. Which made me think of something.

One of the modules we’re currently taking now is OB, Organizational Behaviour. It’s actually pretty interesting on the fact that Sociology was one of my choices in my University applications. This is part of it (: So anyways, we had an activity which was to write a word to describe ourselves then ask our neighbours on how they thought of us. I faced Jasmine Tan and described her as “Picky” then turned to SweeHong, labeled her as “crazy”. In the end, they ganged up and said that those words fit me more! In the end, I got stuck with “Picky”, “Crazy” and “Bubbly”. Blehs.

Ah. And I met Jolene, Jeannette, Ms and Sha in the evening. It was such a coincidence that Jolene helped me to get my SGC from YJ today. So she just passed it to me. No hassle. No need to try and get another day to meet up and stuff. So lucky. Oh well.

Hmm.. Oh yeah. And I finished watching Buzzer Beat. Guess I’ll start watching the drama that Hami recommended.

Okay. SLEEP SLEEP. Still need to wake up early tomorrow to prepare myself for lecture at 12pm. Good night people. Love ya.
