i feel lazy to blog abt today, or anything at all. but for the sake of my glutton friends, i have to make a conscious effort to take down my version of our gluttonious day.

i was so worried i'll oversleep that i woke up at like 8am lah! 8am, to me nowadays, is extremely humongously foreign. its like telling the people like me to go sleep at like 10pm. so there i was, rolling around my green and blue bed, trying to catch some more winks and yet not oversleep. becus i CANNORT miss my subway! i havent had a decent subway in like... a month at least and definitely not a egg mayo sub. they're forever running out on egg mayo.

and we made it to kbox too. there is no I CRY SILENTLY! what a super ultra dampener lahh. was looking forward to 'you said goodbye, i fell apart~'! but it was fun doing all the other songs too. there was the usual english, mandarin... there was even cantonese and HOKKIEN. definitely not a problem for miss hokkien feebs tan. gosh her WU YIA BO and HONG JIN TAO is thumbs up one lorr. dun need hanyupinyin one. no surprises though, for my first friend whose first language at home is hokkien. towards the end when time was running out we were jus rushing thru, singing songs halfway. quite pathetic, but quantity counts when you're paying! :DDD

plus seafood combo at cartel. yogs taught me a new way to eat cartel bread. dipped in chilli sauce and cheese. may sound a little erky, i noe. it even looks that way. but it tastes gr88! :) we wanted to catch a movie afterwards, (my first $9.50 movie too), but i refused to watch lady in the water and all the other movies were all selling fast at PS. why do people love to spend so much on a movie that they can get like 25% cheaper on other days? i jus dun get it. and a horror show at that too! :x the cathay seemed like a better option then, but we discovered a live band in ben&jerry's! and the lead singer is like, CANNORT in a good way lah. he's like singing super high?! but he was good lah. it's always nice to listen to a good live band. its jus therapeutic in a sense. and YES, especially after the humid tunnel walks in orchard.

today was jus nice. doing lots of things that i love doing tgt. subway + kbox + cartel + macs. we are seriously gluttons. but i love it that way! monday is sushi buffet day! we have to meet at 12 because the buffet begins at 12. LOL are we kiasu kiasee or what.

peace. love. ice cream! :)

today was like, insane. the og gluttons and i were supposed to meet at 12pm for subway. which later was suggested to be 2pm for steamboat. and then later became 1pm meet for dno what. it officially became i meet yogs at 1pm at toa payoh. and we finally landed in city hall at 1.20pm. and then chee harn joined us. and then we didnt eat yukiyaki cus they had this terrible time limit sai. but we finally ended up at seoul garden, the table barbecue people la. it was madness lorr. besides the sizzling food and the OUCH'es, seoul garden's staff has this mad 'fetish' abt playing the same songs over and over and over and over and over again. literally. there was this insanely irritating song that keeps going 'i cry, silently. i cry, silently.' its jus breaking into laughter whenever we hear the song repeating. there was NOBODY in the whole restaurant by the time we got to dessert, but that's probably because EVERYBODY had finished the ice cream and left. there was like only some misearbly peppermint and 'nasberry nipple' left. and the ice kachang has NO atap chee and NO red bean! ladies n gentlemen, ice kachang is now officially just ice.

our food spree did not stop there. sipped gloria jean's coffee which was surprisingly damn good. had ben&jerry's mix n match which was expectedly damn good too. after feebs left, we still continue to esplanade and then to suntec. still buy chocolate and share. (whitaker's almond gold!) and then after finish walking still eat dinner at foodcourt somemore. tell me, tell me, dun we deserve to be mass comm gluttons? but today was really fun la. all the sia suay-ness of everyone. chee harn had the most hits i guess. what with his takopachi la, his claustrophobic deduction (omg.)... yogs dun fall behind far also la. the i like, i mode thing is seriously cannoRt.

friday is subbway! (: but until then... think i ate too much today. need to go pang sai now. :x

im back from the hum outing! it was alrights lah - i'll give it a 6.5 out of 10. at least the attendance was very good! (: but inevitably we all broke into our own grps and started to talk amongst ourselves again. maybe we all jus felt a little unfamiliar with each other. had dinner at fish n co, which was decided upon since it was all seafood and very halal even though its not halal-certified. (or is it?) new york fish n chips was rather un-cheesy. and to think the description put "generous portion of cheese" or smthg like that. HA. commercial cheaters. tartar sauce, as usual, didnt fail me.

the hummers adjourned to cineleisure for some cheapskate dessert since we all splurged abt two tens on dinner. the foodcourt in cineleisure is hilarious! they have funny dessert names like "hei she hui milk ice" a.k.a black society milk ice; soft approach 1 and 2... heart 2 heart... poison kiss... all the very weird weird names. its damn corny. but at least their cheng tng has longans in it - that's enough to satisfy me, whatever weird names u have for ur desserts.

and then a few of us decided to be mad and walk from whr we were to city hall - hoping to grab a seat in some macs and chill. but in the end we jus walked to city hall and took the train home. damn lame right! kau i was trying to hynoptize them and say let's jus stop at dhoby ghaut or smthg. but guess i need to brush up on my hynoptizing skills. lol.

so here i am, trying to sip some yakault even though im terribly bloated. cus i need some things to help me feel like im doing something to digest those fish and longans. i feel sinful! been binging like siao since i broke camp. its eat eat eat everyday. and still got more food dates coming up lorr! oh siao.

life is quite predictable now. starting now till sch starts, or at least until i receive notice abt hostel application, my life will fundamentally be revolving around certain few activities.
- sleep till 1pm at least.
- find some wakeup snack like tofu or biscuits with milo.
- turn on the comp, start my dvd marathon.
- when its time to eat, eat.
- continue my dvd marathon.
- when its time to slp, slp.

that is SOOO slacker kind of timetable. like my life got no purpose at all! haha but i like it that way. its good that i dun like to go out anyway, cus i cannot get any more sun on my skin! im SUUUPER black now liao. mus give my skin time to hibernate and try to command it thru sheer willpower for it to go back to being fair. im sorry i ever said i wanted a tan! that was so, so, SOO wrong.

anyway! there's hum meetup tmr... almost everyone's coming... wonder how it's gna be like - how everyone's gna be like out of camp mood and camp clothes and camp smell. LOL. but until then... im back to my daily routine of the above. (:

yosh everyone! im back frm orientation camp! it was good, it was good... at least better than the lousy orientations that i've been forced to over the years. what started as a dreary 5D4N actually passed by pretty quickly. it wasn't anything too bimbotic, which i was fearing (since it IS mass comm after all), neither was it too uneventful.

day1
can't really rmb much abt the first day, except that we learnt the funny titanic song and the cao ah-gua song. played some games around ntu, which my OG disastrously lost and had to eat saltine crackers with wasabi, szechuan sauce and sambal chilli generously spread over them. it was nightmarish lorr. we were all like tearing and dying away. how could we have lost 2 straight games?! i hate wasabi. the seniors played this stupid animal farm game at night. which was totally silly, cus other than the usual animals they added things like starfish, dragon and tasmanian devil in. how on earth do you make the sound of a starfish?! lol. spent the night at sentosa, which turned out to be rather cold since it rained overnight.

day2
sentosa. though i'd hate this day cus i dun like going to the beach. i mean its like, sandy... dirty... sandy... but it turned out quite fun though. the games were not bad. hum isnt a very outstanding og, really. i mean, we're not the prettiest og, nor were we the fittest and fastest... but somehow when the time called for it we jus came tgt. we actually won some of the games! haha... like the stupid pikachu game and the dog n bone game. it was a whole day of games under the sun, thus starting my process of getting charred like huan na kia like that. went back to sch that evening and finally had the luxury of staying in a hall room. i got lucky! didnt have to squeeze 3 girls into a 2 person room. shared a room with yong hui and i think we were the only gluttons there munching away in our rooms in the middle of the night. good rest that night, though.

day3
eating day! amazing race + shi zi lu kou = amazing food race. haha... went arnd jurong west and boon lay area playing games and then eating food. the crayfish noodles was memorable. think this was the day hum really got mad tgt. phoebs, xiang hong, yogs and me were like the mad choir singing whatever stupid thing came to our mind. including the talking part in hakuna matata. ("oh it's a shame!...") it was quite a slack day though... we were jus taking buses, eating... walking, take bus... but that night was the dramatic night though. wah lau SCI really is SCI lor. the seniors are damn good actors! since day 1 they've been spreading rumours arnd the ogs, like who dun like who and all that crap... which erupted into a fight that night. say heng, the chief programmer, got 'killed' by being pushed down the 5th floor. there was even a fake body and a damn loud pong sound. we were supposed to go investigate who killed him lah. but it kinda turned awry since the og that was 'sacrificed' felt cheated and couldnt take it and stuff. but that's minor... cus everyone jus got over it in the end. but u gotta take it off to the seniors. they are seriously damn good actors.

day4
sea sports!!! oh man this was cool. wakeboarding u noe! how many pple get the chance to try their hand at this? still got banana boat and kayaking... me and yong hui like practically rowed to m'sia. haha, since we actually row until the 2nd link immigration building that side. it was fun, it was fun. but of course, sea sports = burnt under the sun again. wakeboarding is cool pple! shld go and try it! its $80/hour at raffles marina. its pricey, yes... but its a good and fun experience!
fright night that night. wah kau! scary sia! hahaha... but actually im not very scared. cus they're mostly seniors that i've seen over the few days. but i was with yonghui in a pair and she's like damn scared... scream until i not scared also become scared. but some of them really freaky lah. the sudden shocks were the worst. think the boy boy with the huge alarm clock still the worst. and then meda in the room with the monster. siao... i wna run out also scared until dno how to open the door. hahahah! fun though, after everything is over.

day5
12am play fright night play until 6am... broke camp arnd 7 plus 8. first time so early break camp! haha... hum won the most team spirit og. and won for ourselves some kbox voucher. haha...maybe becus we've been noticed to be singing all the time. but everyone was like super zonked out liao. it was a nice camp overall... hum was a nice og with normal, nice people. which was really good for me. gotta give it to the seniors... can see that lots of time and effort have been pumped into the foc, and they really gave it their all. darren even broke down while giving the debrief lah. thanks seniors! but i not going for hall orientation liao lah. its so tiring and troublesome. hahaha. but sci foc was good. (:

yes im back from china! wldnt comment much on the displeasures of the environment there shld i be subject to public criticism like that nus girl. but it was an overall pleasant trip - most of our time were spent at home sleeping, then eating, then watching soccer. haha... the kind of holiday that you can jolly well have back home. but it was nice. ordering takeout for supper, having restaurant meals that only cost approx SGD 5 per pax, and doing a whole lot of walking. under the hot, scorching, sweltering sun most of the time. xiangyang market has finally closed... such a pity really. its more fun to bargain and fight with the shopkeepers! and xiangyang is such an ideal place for that. too bad... no more 'watergoods' or AAA goods.

world cup is down to its last few matches! so sad... gotta wait another 4 more years before i can go wild at screaming goooooaal like now. but i now also got no more chance... cus all the teams i support are OUT! am i dai sai or am i dai sai? sighs. but im glad that england is out. (i better siam frm all the fervent england supporters out there) im really fine with them, actually i think rather highly of them. but all that hoo haa, all that talk abt having the best english team ever, and performing like that... they jus dun deserve to be among the last 4. so bye england... :)

hence the start of july... and the days towards the big sch reopen day closes in. lots of apprehension, abt the kind of pple i'd meet... and yet excitement abt finally embarking on the campus tertiary life that i've been looking towards. the 'induced' adulthood and independence that comes along with tertiary life... well, jus gotta go thru the FOC first. hope it's a fun affair and not smthg like what aj would do. haha! expecting loads...
