it's the first week of school! and i decided to meet up, you've guessed it, CASSANDRA AND ABIGAIL! :))))
it has been a long time since we all sat together and had a decent meal. i definitely adored the times back when we were year twos, sitting in megabites watching abi gorge down her noodles and having her spit horlicks in my face and cass' food.
one year later and we're all separated from each other due to school, and attachment placings. abi and cass are both now working their asses off for the AVA and LONZA biologics respectively as interns. and cass is kind of living the life with the highest paid attachment allowance available amongst all the interns.
so anyway, we decided to meet up because abi and i still owed cass her birthday present, which we bought LAST YEAR and eventually collected dust at my house because abi silly couldn't decide when she was free enough to meet up. that aside, we had tons of fun just simply having dinner and chittering chattering away like little birds.
we took many photos, but these were the nicest cause most of the other photos had abi's mouth overflowing with food.
and yes dinner did last for quite a while because abi was late.
and you can tell from the above picture that she was really really very tired. so tired that, she kept harping on and on about "EH you'all should be honored cause i rush down straight from work!!!". so without much ado, she started stuffing food into her mouth and posing whilst i had the camera snapping away.
that was when the following dialogue occurred,
Cass: omg abi you damn poser now loh. POSER. keep on posing and posing and posing.
Abi: i where got pose! is he stuff the camera in my face then i got no choice but to pose what! then what you want me to do!?
**an expected rain of particles started flying out from, you should know who's mouth.**
Cass: eeeeeeek! omg lah abi. still as crazy.
oh and did i mention that while trying to get to Waraku Casual Dining at Marina Square's abi called me up and asked,
"Eh! where am i ah? How do i get to you'all???"
so yes, i'm getting her a brain for her birthday this year. just kidding abi! :)
yes! it's the first week of the year 2010, and also the week back to my last semester term in school. and for most of whom have still been hanging around my blog, it's my first time blogging in proper since eons ago.
you were to ask if i have had any regrets in the past three years of my polytechnic life, no doubt there were ups and downs, but i do not live to regret. i live to better myself from it all.
and the question everyone's been wanting to know, what happened to me?
i have no idea really, right now, looking back at the past six months, everything's really just a blur.
it's not that i would choose to forget it all or anything, but back then, setbacks came like tsunami waves, crashing me every single time i fell, and no matter how i tried getting back up, i'd still flush down like a sandcastle.
six months before, i was happy. nearly a year back, i thought every single thing in my life was slowly getting back on track. but life always take us by surprise, so the higher my hopes were, the higher i fell.
but all that doesn't matter anymore, does it?
i have definitely changed, i obviously binge drink, hit the clubs additively and went back to smoking. for many, it seems like i have gotten worst, and perhaps screwed up in the eyes of others.
but i am happy where i am right now, with a close-knitted group of friends that honestly, i would still be afraid to lose, but definitely would want to gamble everything that i've got to walk down memory lane together with them.
school's kind of crazy. i'm kind of left with this horrendously empty timetable, with many thanks and gratitude to my dearest Dr. Forday Wayne Lee (note no sarcasm here), who gave me many chances and allowed me to make the most out of my life.
no doubt, i definitely struggled last semester, with one of the most packed and hectic timetable juggling more than three core modules. but it was all for the better to lessen my load in future as well, which is now.
basically i am currently only taking one core module and two sub modules along with my final year project (which is seriously a bitch, but with a doting supervisor i shall let it pass). and the classmates are just, dope. not to forget the year twos from the immunology class as well.
they are of course, a bunch of the most funtastic people who happen to like to disturb the elderly (a.k.a senior cross-streamers). apart from being a whole circus of orang kecoh dan giler satu hari, they brought about a lot of fun and laughter for me,weisheng and petrina.
yeah, in school now it's always the three of us, we even call ourselves the PAWS. (okay before weisheng starts yakking away, it's petrina and i who came up with the name) the orang kecohs refer to us as the three musketeers though.
and yes, did i mention? i'm much more sharpened at my malay language now. ;)
so, as you can see from the pictures, i would be stupid if i were to waste life emo-ing away everyday.
indeed, if you asked if i was alright, the obvious answer would be no.
i'm kind of thankful to aisyah, cause for the week she has been discouraging me to drink by calling me siao. and just a few hours ago, she approached me to talk to me about my problems, of which i hadn't addressed to, but did explain about the recent uncontrolled drinking behaviour.
and then she started ogling at man boobs. well, technically it's my fault since i showed her the website of Shine, but yeah, she started drooling as well. don't fake woman, i know your laptop confirm wet.
so then we moved on from the ambiguously spoken matters of the heart to the openly spoken matters of the muscles. and so i suggested that she should jsut go and watch porn. seriously. the way she describes the muscles, it's like she is already having an orgasm on her own.
so here's the update for the fourth day of working at the OKTOBEER FESTIVAL!
the events of course, not about boring work. the only fun thing about working is that we kept stealing food and beer! hehs. i love ERDINGGGGER! the taste is nice, but i think it's slightly too rich that after a while you get sick of it, especially when you drink it consecutively for four, five days.
so after work, and having only slept three hours after prawning till 6am in the morning the previous night, the crazy me went ahead with my plans of clubbing.
so we went down to the Supperclub for the Rendezvous event, where girls had free entry if they wore bikinis. but apparently, all the girls rather spend some money than to show some skin. poor laveen, who was anticipating for like the entire time about the bikinis, but in the end there was a no-show. boohoo to anti-biginis!
and did i mention that Supperclub is bad? like real bad. the lighting is bright, so you can see everyone's faces. the DJ was bad, playing song by song endlessly, where at one point i was thinking,
"PO PO PO POKERFACE
MUST POKE UNTIL WHEN?"
and the AIR CON IS WEAK. so weak that everyone was slipping and sliding through sweat like we were at some swimming pool, or better still, in the middle of a marathon.
but nevertheless, fun comes from your friends and not your surroundings.
had a lot of fun with Aisyah and her Arty. as well as Weisheng and Laveen.
went down with Nicole and Yiwen as well. but felt real bad cause i was kind of neglecting them. hehs, so i decided to be nice and pay for their entry tickets.
so we clubbed till 4am. with the relentlessly shufflers shuffling their feet through the dancefloor. damn annoying please. i do not understand the rationale behind why we have to make space for a few guys to make squeaky noises on the floor when you can use the space for more people to squeeze in the dancefloor and club like crazy.
and the squeaky noises. if they want to play with rubber ducks, go home to their bath tubs please.
still, as much as i hate shufflers at clubs, i absolutely adore this picture of some unknown stranger. this was nicely taken. photos are of credits to Aisyah by the way.
and did i mention there were aisyah's friends too? this indian guy with a very interesting face. damn interesting. it's like he can act in some comedy and make people laugh without talking. but i guess aisyah's constant snapping of the camera flashes at the dancefloor was rather bizarre to cause some bizarre facial expressions.
as usual, alcohol makes me red easily. not to mention when you sweat so much, you don't know if you are red from the heat or red from the alcohol. but yeah. the gin tonic was so weak. totally couldn't get very high from the drinks as well.
so we decided to take more photos. and laugh at our nonsensical dancing, and also the stupid shufflers who shuffled from left to right, bottom to top. we shifted our dancing spot, but somehow they managed to find us again.all thanks to aisyah, attract so many guys for what. grrr.
and then after clubbing, we went off to chill. during which we found Aisyah's favourite initials. life science students would know this one.
moving on, we had more alcohol, ate halal food. the best maggi goreng in the world, which i shall not tell any of you! hahahah. they are so good, i want to keep their business at an average flow, in case i can't get seats next time.
so, a full twenty four hours passed since i woke up, and i was off to work, for the last day of the OKTOBEER EVENT! to be continued...
and i just realized this, last thursday was Erdinger Beer, followed by Hoegaarden on friday, then gin tonic and hooch on saturday, and then free flow of Erdinger on sunday! :D
i cried over this. in the middle of the night, sounds stupid.
but yeah we are only humans. at the end of the day, we all forget our purest inner selves. we tried to achieve longevity, civilization, materialistic lives. but even animals like dogs and cats harbored stronger emotions than we do.
if the grandmother in this video was a skinny old lady, i would have probably cried throughout the night. i remembered once there was this advertisement about an old lady buying cake for her granddaughter, but she got knocked down by the car in the end. the video was majorly about road safety, but what caught my attention was, the storyline.
at the dining table, my sister and i were left speechless by the advertisement. because when we were young, our maternal grandmother who stayed with us, would always give us a dollar each to buy a cake from the neighbourhood bakery. and she would just simply watch in delight as we ate the cakes in endless smiles and kid happiness.
she died many years back, due to my uncle's idiotic behaviours back then. it was only way after her death, did my uncle finally grew up and learned to be responsible.
this is why i always liked old ladies. i always feel that i could give them the care that i never got to give my grandmother as a young man. although my paternal grandmothers are still alive and well, i don't have to fret over them as they are healthy and in good hands of my cousins. what happened with my maternal grandmother was something tragic and what i couldn't prevent because i was too young and too stupid.
for seven days at her wake, i did not cry. up until the very last second, when her coffin was pushed into the incinerator, and as i saw the flames engulf her before the door fully closed. then i cried like nobody's business.
i hope this video makes you value your grandparents. i never had the chance for mine, cause she no longer stays with me, cooks for me, tells me bedtime stories. sighs, this is why i must stop sleeping late. cause i tend to get sad in the middle of the night. even a video almost must think about my own grandmother.
the other day yiwen told me that sometimes she pities me, because my life is full of tragedies. but actually, i experience what others do as well, just that mine is more packed full of drama.
and luckily, in the dead of the night, i have people like aisyah blabbering away with me about horoscopes, where she spelt,
Pisces for Pieces.
that got me laughing. going to sentosa tomorrow, so i ought to sleep early and go in anticipation!
See what aisyah is holding? That was the bottle of bombay sapphire that we finished in less than six hours. and note weisheng's cheeky little face. cause you are going to see more of that.
okay, i think the bombay's on the floor now. and the furball at the bottom right corner is actually chiu chern's head.
Things to highlight of that night? Well, weisheng was all over the floor.
and he had difficulty getting up, whilst we all had difficulty straightening our backs from laughing at him.
more of that cheeky face yo, weisheng. but boy were we glad that he finally got up from the floor.
but he was still unstable. but we continued with the camwhoring.
i initially didn't want to put this photo, but i noticed weisheng's face so i jsut had to put it up here. and i seriously don't know what was with that face when he talked to abigail.
and this is a joke man. they were bugging me to take a photo and end up all of them were laughing, with abigail flirting with the panda at one corner.
oh oh and abigail made me stripped so she could take this. HAHA. i was friggin' shivering and she refused to return my shirt.
and they went out for more boooze! but returned with nothing. :((
and when they got back, weisheng was on the floor again.
then abigail continued flirting with the panda. fatin's panda by the way.
more camwhoring..
and the divas were still working that green wall man.
and weisheng was back on the floor, again.
then we decided to leave the room, cause it was stinking of alcohol, as complained by arifin.
i guess, abigail's expression in this picture explains that look on my face.
fooling around more with the blankets. and we even did a three-person lion dance. weisheng called it an ant. and he was the ant head by the way.
and then before we know it, it was already morning and they found sesame street oscar's long lost brother.
and so i spent the night at the school's loft, with a lot of chaos, but here's a little sneak preview of the luxurious place where we stayed at.
and this is why LSCT in ngee ann polytechnic has lousy renovation, since the school invested all it's money in building five star quality hostels. ROOM ONE
the master bedroom that consists of a double decker bed, and a single bed. with a toilet.
hotel quality toilet, that goes along with hotel quality shower head. speaking of hotels, nostalgic memories of aisyah walking around the hostel when she first came in, blabbering away like some suan ku about the place being like a hotel. =.= ROOM TWO
smallest room, with two single beds.
annd a funky ceiling. i don't even have these at home. LIVING ROOM
big enough to be a dance studio, i'm serious okay.
freaking spacious and did i mention that there's an air conditioner in every room?
the kitchen, equipped with a microwave oven, fridge, and dining bar.
the balcony behind the kitchen, with a washing machine. ROOM THREE
another nice spacious room, equipped with abigail on one of the two single beds.
this was also where we spent our night of chaos in. it looks clean for now, but in the next upcoming post, i shall show you what went on in this room twelve hours before this photo was taken.
and then aisyah asked if i was emo-ing in post two hundred and sixty nine, when i was tipsy and blogging with a head full of grogginess. yes of course, how to not emo when the whole bunch went out to buy booze but returned with nothing.
i was left in the living room with two sleeping babi. for almost an hour. so the emo-ing came inevitably under the effects of the alcohol. hahaha.
let's hope abi sends me the photos soon! want to blog before i official get bedridden, since i'm burning 37 degrees now with an itchy throat. DD:
minds cafe dude says, "do these cards look the same?"
weisheng replies, "no."
i say, "nope."
AISYAH replies, "about."
no wait, allow me to rephrase that.
AISYAH exclaims, "I'M STUPID."
as you can see, today was a Saturday and i decided to go on a little escaping! hahaha, left early after the girls' lesson. and then went off to meet the crazy idiots. of whom, all were extremely late, despite constant reminders to me, telling me to be on time.
and so, it started off a little irritated, cause i'm always not happy when i have gastric.
and then we got down to Swensen's for the long-awaited ICE CREAM BUFFET! finally, finally able to go for my ice cream buffet since so long ago. so allow me to round up on a couple of stuff that we did.
we complained about a waiter, HAHA. okay fine, i complained about a waiter. and then the manager obviously thought of us as some pesky kids trying to fool around, which i was NOT. the waiter was supposedly the host for the queuing area, in which he had to be fairly polite and refreshing to the customers who are already kept on wait in line. HOWEVER, he was so darn rude and treated us like we were having some lucky draw. so there's a bad first impression of the restaurant already, isn't that poor waitering skills?!
shall not talk about it anymore. then we had a lot of ice cream, wasted a lot of cake and definitely played with the ice cream. talk about REGURGITATING everything, it will take ages. and having a sugar rush results in acting dumb, which explains all my videos of stupidity on facebook, credits to eugene lee zhao hui.
eugene's "ice cream", which i later had fun "blending" into a paste as though i worked at Sweet Talk.
Aisyah's baby food, filled will all that cereal stuff. AND SHE CAN STILL KEEP UP WITH THE COMPLAINING OF BEING FULL.
Weisheng's Princess Darling Dessert. HAHA! looks like cinderella.
and here's mine, the best and most delicious of all cause it's made by ME! lol.
and i stole Eugene's ez-link card by the way. HAAHAHHA! stupid can, drop on the floor and still didn't realized.
and.....we had an ugly doll before we eventually played ugly doll. HHAHAAH!
pffffftt. i look damn retarded. couldn't stop laughing from suggesting the idea that we take a photo with the Dole Pineapple Mascot. so hence, the red and retarded face plus the body that couldn't stand straight. and and and we helped this old lady who was lost!
directed her to Isetan at Shaw. felt damn nice and accomplished after that. like as though i did something damn good. and i seriously don't mind spending my whole day walking around finding lost old people and helping them find their way. cause, it makes me feel a little bit more like a human. hehs.
moving on.
we went off to MINDS! after eugene decided to PANGSEH.
so we headed off to minds where i had chunks of meat missing off from my hands thanks to aisyah's finger nails. we did a hell lot of dumb stuff there, including playing UGLY DOLLS! damn stupid game.
and the two of them were so dumb that they kept losing and doing forfeits, whilst i just sat back and relaxed.
but nevertheless, i decided to be nice and at the final game that we were playing, i lost and did a dumb forfeit. hahaha. but yeah. was a very very relaxing day despite the tension in the morning and the tension in the week.
damn worth it to spend every saturday like this. and we would cross paths at the bus stop, but no, you wouldn't even notice me.
the cyan shirt amidst the browns in the crowd, but your eyes only on someone who's long left you.
