i'm 6571 days old today, with days from leap years included
that makes me 6572 days old tomorrow, bringing me to a grand 18.

but i'm not booked tomorrow.

when you're 18 you're supposed to be more grown up.
must i start acting my age already?

Friday, June 20, 2008

Two more days.

two days to my birthday. and i'm as free as every other sunday. as free as i'll ever be. nothing scheduled at all. zip. zero.

what a way for my grand 18th.

well, they always say that one happens during one year of your birthday gets carried to the next. and i don't ever celebrate mine. so i guess this year will be no different.

i think i'm starting to envy all you other people.

damn.

if you visited my blog today, there's a chance you might saw my blog different. i was testing out color schemes, but in the end switched back to this. i'll change the layout once my own blogskin is done, and then it'll be good riddance to this useless template with limited colors.

Went to fix my bicycle wheel today. The bike was bought when i was secondary 4, today's the first time i rode it. steph says its dangerous to sms while cycling.
got three cuts today, all three i didn't notice until i spotted the bright red that tells you OMGWTFBBQ YOU'RE BLEEDING.

LOOK~




Above are a couple or two of my favourite photos taken during the DIDM camp. Only the last one was photoshopped.
This is roughly all those who went for the DIDM camp. I'd guess this is around a quarter of the whole DIDM year one and year two cohort (no year threes, we're a new diploma). Look at the above photo. try and spot me, then look at the below photo, and try to spot the rest of the people above. They're not there. Why? cos they all went off. without telling me in advance.Keith looks really happy with his happy soda. that's the real deal, S$2.50 a cup, at far east, one of the indonesian eateries. compare keith's cup's shade of pink with the one i made ytd. the cup in the forground hasn't been stirred yet.
The happy soda was so damn nice, we decided to make some ourselves back at school. snuck out in the middle of the night to go over to shop n save, got cherryade and condensed milk, then went over to 7-11 to get cups and ice. the condensed milk cans were opened using my house keys.
Okay, back to today. went to school, then met with steph at JE library. she had packed lunch, ham sandwich (black pepper ham, her brother's favourite). In order to not have her eat alone, i went over to the pasarmalam side and got a ramly burger, so i could eat with her. after that, went to library to sleep abit while she did her schoolwork.
after she was done we went to the interchange to take bus to boonlay. allofasudden she had craving for liangteh, and she didn't even know the exact kind she wanted. so she suggested going over to IMM to get some, and i was like "NOOoooo....." then luckily the snackstand at the interchange had bottled ones. she got some peppermint thing and while she was paying for it, i found these:


OMG so nostalgic righttt... It's been ages since i saw them, and even longer since i had any. so i bought two, they were going at 50cents a 'tray'. seriously brings back memories. i had loads back in malaysia.
anyways, came home after sending her back, then went to make myself some happy soda using my lord-emporor-thoushaltnotsayhisname-almighty-omnipotent mug that i only use on special occasions. today's occasion: i needed lots of happy. Look at the size of that thing, next to it is my normal cancer horoscope mug:

It's humongous, and it can hold up to 2 and a half can's of coke, inclusive of a moderate amount of ice. it's what my mom got me after she broke my winnie the pooh cup, which was supposed to be the biggest. and it has the merlion at the front.


oh, and i saw the craziest piece of news today.
THE SCHOOL GIRL WHO ATE NOTHING BUT CHOCOLATE.


your ham-sandwich, my ramly <3

Father's Day

Happy father's day to all fathers and fathers-of-fathers and to-be-fathers and fathers-of-to-be-fathers etc.

Celebrated father's day with dad today, so the first thing i did after breakfast this morning was: MOP FLOOR. okay, so its not very linked to celebrating the day itself, but since it was done at my dad's request, i did it. Then, the whole family (minus my sister cos she's working at the IT fair) brainstormed for a place to eat, everything i suggested was rejected. In the end, we headed down to Vivo City cos my dad wanted to look at watches.

reached there, walked around the whole place to find something to eat. all the nice restaurants i suggested were still turned down. after not finding anything for half an hour, they asked me whether there was a marché at Vivo, marché being my very first suggestion. there was one at the third storey, but it was seriously packed. then they asked whether there was a jack's place, which was my second suggestion from the very beginning. there wasn't. so in the end, we settled for this place called the "White Dog Café" cos my dad stared at its menu for around 10 mins.

went in, ordered 4 main dishes: lamb chop, texas ribs, pork knuckle (my dad's really fond of pork knuckles, i hate it) & tenderloin steak. all of them came with mashed taters (except ribs, which came with fries), and salad and corn. and i swear to god, IT WAS THE BEST MEAL I HAD IN MONTHS. SERIOUSLY.

Look at the photo below. this was taken barely 5 minutes after the orders came to our table. out of the three in the photo, two of them are already almost cleared, and look at the size of the pork knuckle and compare it to the knife. it's HUGE.

The tenderloin steak was the most expensive, and it was also the smallest serving. my favourite was the lamb chop, it was grilled to perfection and you could really taste the herbs used in the cooking. i wanted to have mango pudding after everything, but maybe because it's THAT good, there wasn't any left for me.
White Dog Café is located at 1 HarbourFront Walk #02-131/132 VivoCity S'pore 098585 Tel:6376 9970

After that, we walked around Vivo, then i had a bright idea to go buy some chocolate fondants from beard papa (see below). If you like chocolate then get it. there's no need to elaborate further.

I was sick actually with two kinds of sicknesses, due to reasons i won't disclose. one's a real sickness, the other's due to something else. Anyways, didn't go out at night, had meat porridge for dinner while watching 'charlie and the chocolate factory' on channel 5. Made myself some 'Happy Soda' (see Below). it's that nice, thats why the name. really, it's damn good. ask me where to get some, or just ask me how to make it, it's cheaper if you do it yourself.

Sam Sparro : - Black & Gold



If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the grey sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

eastcoast today.

went for the saucony run today, 10km.
failed it miserably.

i did what i did during my trainings. i ran at my normal pace. i told myself, under an hour would be good enough.

i clocked an hour and 35 mins.

what happened? at around 3km, my knee worked up. Yes, that cursed left knee of mine. No, it didn't have to hurt during all my training runs. it only hurt abit during last week's camps. but
today the pain was excruciating.

and people laughed at me as i limped past the halfway mark.

small kids overtook me. uncles and aunties overtook me. people who look old enough to be my great-grandparents overtook me. people who were at least three-times my circumference overtook me. while walking, even.

i finished the run. no more goody bags for me then. didn't win anything from the lucky draw, morale was at an all time low.

and i thought june was supposed to be better

i needed support. no one was there to support me. i needed encouragement. i see people taking photos with their friends at the starting point. i didn't. cos my friends weren't even participating in the run. steph was in the run, but she was with her family. she has a point there, she's more obliged to be with her family, can't argue with that.

it's just that i felt really lonely.


other than that, there was rather cool stuff happening. there was this samsung skating meet, should've went for that instead. there was also a sand castle building competition, here's some photos



wished you were there.

why.

i'm being neglected.

teacher's supposed to send me an important email about the upcoming forum yesterday, he didn't send. when i smsed him to ask, he didnt answer.
no one from cssp camp added me on email, i added them in the end.
steph was busy emailing her campers, i stared at the screen for an hour plus just for her reply
my campers didn't even ask me for email or HP number, i think they hate me.
everyone at home went out together today. except me.
my msn conversations are looking more and more like the replies are just to humor me.

i'm sad. what happened?

CSSP Camp '08

during the past five days, i was a camp facilitator at the CSSP Challenge Camp '08. My group, C-4, wasn't the best-behaved group ever, they lacked alot of discipline and they don't take things seriously. but they were my group, and to me, they're like the best group ever, even though they may seem like nothing much. Unlike the other faci's, i didn't join my team in their discussions and activities as i didn't want to spoon-feed them and lead them to the solutions, i wanted them to get there themselves. and they did, with a little pushing from both me and my co-faciliator celestyn (her name sounds very similar to mine, alot of mix ups). There's these two guys, Ricky and Eddy (Eddy is the one with the foot on me in the photo, wearing white/light blue, and Ricky is the one wearing blue next to him). they were basically the spirit and motivation of the group, and they really showed leadership qualities, i really do think they'll achieve something big one day.first day for facis was Day Zero, monday. students only had to come on tuesday onwards. Before the camp, each faci was given a station to be in charge of, and on day zero, everyone had to set up their stations and give the other faci's a try. My station was the Mass-Triage station, and beatrix was my co-incharge. The photo up there is of the station BlindMice, where 5 people had to guide the rest of the blindfolded leaders through a maze of chairs without kicking any cups that were on the ground.during the wargames section(basically, it was captain's ball), alot of students got hurt. it was the most violent captain's ball you'll ever see. sprained arms, sprained ankles, chest pains, elbow-to-the-face. One girl even had what we suspected was a heart-attack, and there was an ambulance on-scene
Main event of the camp was the SMRT detrainment excercise, where we have to get off the train in a simulated terrorist attack, and walk on the rails til the evacuation point. Every two groups were given on cabin, so it was rather spacious. SMRT planted suspiscious people, even us faciliatating the camp didn't know about them, and we seriously got freaked out when suspicious person after suspicious person turned up, and Ambrose even gave his nervous/thinking super-stone look when one of them approached us. we were supposed to report them, but my team didn't, they just took alot of photos of the suspicious people.

I was one of the faci's chosen to simulate an arm injury, the campers weren't supposed to know i was fake. so i made a big plan, and purposely fell down in front of the campers i acted as though i broke my arm and it hurt really bad. i think i acted a little too well, cos after that the civil defence took over and they thought i really broken my arm, and even called the ambulance. I was like "erm. i'm fake, let the students take over", and the other fake injury facis, kog and steph, heard me say it too. they knew kog and steph was fake, but they seriously thought i really was injured. The media came and even the ministers came and looked at me. I was in seriously deep shit luh, and all ck did was come over, looked at us faked injured and supposedly real injured being seperated, and he LAUGHED. i seriously freaked out when the ambulance came and they took down my name and IC luh.

Last day of camp was yesterday. teary goodbyes and farewells, see-you-soons. I 'accidentally' cried when saying goodbye to the last of my campers to leave, i was seriously proud of them, they did everything by themselves. photo-taking with other facis, post photos up later. The guy down there is kog, and both of us are the camp's 'himbo's. the photos down there shows us discussing what pose to do for our himbotic photo, the last one's the actual.

I miss the camp already.
