note to self: dont sleep shirt-less under 22degree aircon.
yay finally posting again, after one week inactiveness. i dont know if i can continue keeping this blog going or not... the stupid template blogskin is evidence enough. sigh...
anyway i dont know what has happened. the first week of holidays was kinda routine, except for the monday and tuesday. then all else the same lor. training, rest, study, repeat.
monday went to high school drama centre after training and studying for harmoc windworks. saved seats for emelyne and gek khim (i think thats how her name spells) and bey (who didnt turn up). then saw esther, kaiyuan, zeemay, liting and random other people perform. the songs were super nice and cool la! haha one of the reasons why i wanted to pick up harmonica so many years ago. and saw peijin ushering outside, thinking she was a member of harmoc. and went backstage with emelyne and gekkhim during intermission to try and find esther kaiyuan and liting, but couldnt find them. ended up talking to caifang (i think, and who i can only remember as peijin's friend) for a while, then had to go out for the rest of the performance. then after the whole thing (the conductor was damn funny! xD) we went back upstage to find the 3 of them again. emelyne gave them gifts (i can never bring myself to buy/make them. >< sorry!), and gekkhim gave her cat soft toy away, then we went back. walked emelyne to high school admin office, then walked gekkhim to open-air carpark before going back. i wanna watch windworks next year i if i can help it.
tuesday went out for movie even though econs was cancelled. went to somerset thinking i was late but ended up being the earliest, with esther on the same train, unknowingly. then zijie, emelyne and kaiyuan. then we went to (i cant remember the place's name!) for lunch and waited for anying and jiali. (and zijie noticed something very nice about a woman who happened to be wearing her skirt slightly too low. >< omg la.) then anying came and had her lunch, then we waited for jiali for a short while then went up to watch indiana jones (and the kingdom of the crystal skull, if i remember correctly). which was super funny and nice. and allowed me to see something i shouldnt have.
after that emelyne had to rush off for training. then the rest of us went to arcade to play random games, while anying went off to get something (i think). after some racing games, esther and jiali got stuck on some tower building game (which HAD to be programmed to not let you win. both got the the last level several times and both didnt get it, and this super pro guy who was with them also didnt get it no matter how many times he tried. but the prizes are like a handphone and a psp and a nintendo ds so...) then after some tekken games (during which the 3 girls left) and an aircraft simulator which totally cheats your money, we left.
yeah. friday was a bit crazy la. after the tekan-ing and the talk and all, we all had to reflect on our actions and behaviour and all. i guess since the school wasnt helping, we should have thought more for him, but yet we still did horrible stuff. like latecoming and all. i just hope sir can forgive us. especially me, who went off on the sat we were supposed to apologise and train. ><
then sat morning went off to kukup, malaysia. some fishing village, rural and all, but with aircon, tv, ktv, showers, toilets, provision stores, restaurants etc., so cant really say rural. 21 of my extended family (+ some friends) stayed at a stilt-house near the end (it was the end; they went and built some haolian house right beside us, so no sea view. T.T). the whole place was on stilts, anyway. below and to one side of the village was muddy stuff and mangroves, and low tide meant you could see mudskippers, crabs, snakes, rats and monkeys all around the bottom of the houses.
dinner was bbq under the stars! xD they had stingray, chicken wings, satay and some random stuffs. then eat already went to set off RM200 worth of firecrackers. almost lost fingers/hand/eyes several time, super close. heh. the girls got bored after half the lot was set off, so left my dad, my cousin's bf and me letting the rest go, albeit with some experimentation (my cousin's bf and i temporarily lost our hearing in one ear each after a stupid experiment: we set off 10 strings of crackers all at one shot. o.O) and dangerous acts (accidentally almost shooting a firecracker into the house opposite us. kena shouting. -.- accident ma.). but had quite some fun, esp throwing dry bombs at people's feet. xD
then played mahjong/sang ktv/played psp/bathed/had midnight snack/talk/play cards until 1 plus, then slowly went to sleep one by one. and reminder to self: look at the first line of current post. cos i've been sneezing on and off since i left the kelong this morning. or maybe it was due to the cold showers i had... mm. either way it could have been worse: my cousin was snoring in my ear + sleeping on my arm = whole day sleepy + numbness for 2 hours the next morning.
the next day, woken up by another cousin ktv-ing in the place of a rooster who has no sense of timing. went out with 2 other cousins to scream at him (to no avail) and then went to wash up and eat prata for breakfast. then packed up, played with air-pistol, shot myself accidentally, played psp, then went back to the main road for lunch. (oh, the kelong we stayed at was about 5-10 mins walking from the main road, along a concrete path elevated 4m above the mud bed, 1.5m in width and no railings whatsoever, with motorbikes and bicycles passing you every few steps. fun. xD)
after lunch, we went to some jusco for shopping, then went home. reached home about 7 plus (couldnt get to school for co concert! parents wouldnt allow me to rush to school, and the jam at customs was crazy. T.T sorry liyi!), then went up to bathe. went back down for dinner, and realised that the hosue was infested with the winged ants that are attracted to light. parents tried to get rid of it using a basin with water to drown them (in the light's reflection), but not much use. in the end we all went up early (8 plus) after chasing as much of them out as possible.
and here i am. crazy past week. and tomorrow is the start of exoro, and tues is econs, and thur is training camp WARH. i love the june hols man.
i really should stop thinking. and i should start mugging seriously. wth.
