Haven’t posted, cause I’ve been busy!
16 March, Wednesday- My class had to go back to school for an extra GP lesson, which lasted about 5-6 hours. I didn’t mind that, really. GP lessons are very amusing. My class is too. I don’t recall a GP lesson in which not one jibe against Sheng yang’s supreme richness was made, or an inside joke not being cracked.
After GP we all cried FREEDOM! and about half of the class headed down to Marina Square for karaoke ♥
It turned out, Kbox was having a special price for students ($8) as long as one person had the Kbox card. None of us had it so Si kai volunteered to purchase one and inadvertently became 11A03B’s karaoke rep.
Karaoke was kickass! I’ve been to quite a number of karaoke sessions starting 2009, but I’ve never been to such an energy-pumped and loud one! Singing Uptown Girls with everybody was fun. There too was a Vietnamese song which we all attempted to sing :P All of us were also practically shouting We Are The World together at the end of it all… and we did it twice! While standing up! Hahaha.
Kbox also has a more updated selection of music compared to the one I normally go to. However it’s limited in terms of Japanese songs. I love Cash Studio in that aspect, they even categorise Japanese songs according to anime! The lack of recent anime until months later puts me off though.
I also kind of have a gripe about its song selection system, it’s completely electronised, on a computer screen on one remote control. It’s quite difficult to navigate around and find songs, and it can only be done by one person, so we have to wait for our turn to search the song database. In cash studio everything is mostly printed out for you in a thick book, which they provide numerous copies of. Also, you can’t even bring your water bottle in! That is just so.. ripoff.
I must say it was affordable though, $8 per person, for the 3+ hours we were there.
17 March, Thursday- Birthday BBQ party at Andeline’s chalet! Lots of the class came. The food was gooood and I had fun. Also I think it must be quite hard work for her, having to talk to everybody that came and shuttling between the distinct groups of people that came.
18 March, Friday- This day was spent on art in preparation for the MacRitchie SITE exhibition that was coming up. Tianyuan and I met up in school in the morning and went to the library to work on some experiments/discuss. In the afternoon we walked to MacRitchie and soon regretted it because it was so darned hot. We took some photos there to serve as reference for our final art product.
This is what we used for our reference. Using my camera, we took a 360 degrees view of the spot we were in and then I pieced it together in photoshop. It was kind of difficult, finding which leaf to match which leaf.
19 March, Saturday- Spent the whole day at home for the first time during the March holidays.
20 March, Sunday- OG outing! (: I was very very happy that we were having one although it wasn’t on a very good date. The turnout at Marina Square at first was 4 people, who proceeded to play pool. I don’t know how and I wasn’t particularly interested in learning so I just watched. I’m quite the spoilsport come to think of it :P
After that we went to Dhoby Ghaut to watch a movie at Plaza Sing. 3 more joined us yay ♥ The movie was When in Rome, which was kind of funny. Watching a chick flick. Haha. In my opinion it wasn’t a movie worth my $10 because the storyline was rather clichéd (as most chick flicks are), oh so predictable and the female lead was- a la shoujo manga heroine mode- acting rather stupid although she was supposed to be a capable lady. I admit it was pretty cute though and since she got her Prince Charming in the end (obviously) it was d’aww-worthy. Where’s mine, huh? (:
We bought 7 tickets at the front row but somehow we got split into 5s and 2s because 2 idiots decided to plonk themselves in our seats since we were a bit late. I hate it when people do that. I remember back in secondary school, some girls from another girls’ school did the same thing but they, at least, had the decency to move back to their original location. Grrr.
Actually nowadays I think I get annoyed very easily. I curse a lot in my head. This happens a particularly lot when I take public transport. I get so mad when people block the way and don’t give a shit about the people trying to get out or lean against the pole even though the train is crowded. Once during the bus ride home from the mrt there was this aunty who kept talking on the phone in super loud Hokkien. Most people in the bus kept glancing at her. I was totally seething mad, in my head.
Am I being reasonable? Is this due to lack of sleep? I don’t know but I hope I don’t literally rage and kill everything in site or something.
