Took the internet cause my brother's out. Only one LAN cable in Jurong. No router. Hubstation much. 1mbps is enough for my usage, considering I can't play any games now. Yes I've bought my desktop but still I can't set it up when I'm going overseas next week. It'll be a waste. Furthermore there's only one slot for the Ethernet cable.Effectively is not exactly how I spent my time.
I practically wasted sunday. Spent the morning watching television then played a little basketball on sunday. Trained a bit on free throws, but got interrupted cause another dude came down and asked to join me. Surprisingly.. I beat him in 1v1. He's another 16 year old from Jurong Town SS or sth. I don't know how I beat him seriously. Probably lucked through all 3 rounds. Wth la. Obviously Horse and ABC were for his taking. Hit the gym afterwards. Went to a dinner in the evening/night. Relative's 40th wedding anniversary.
Monday was spent on Tempest training. Basketball again. First Tempest training of the year. sadly it drizzled and the court was too slippery for us to do circuits and stuff.. not like we had the stamina to LOL. Did alleys. There was probably 500 in total. Goal was to hit 100 consecutively. 11 of us. Man we nearly died. My knee acted up again. sigh.
Aha. Tuesday was fun. Dragon boating. Got myself tanned again. bloody sun. Kudos to Yihui for the last min invite lol. Aching muscles. There's so much I wanna say but I can only say them in my head eh. Mont quadrilaterals. They were nice.
Pool and bowling later probably. Hope I have energy haha.
dreamt of sth. about this site. nevermind. sadly nothing happened. a dream stays a dream.
A cruel hand I have been dealt with indeed. Perhaps it was my own doing. Can't ask for more.
da capo.

Moving to Jurong tomorrow. Centris. For about 3 weeks while my present house undergoes renovation. If anyone wants to drop by or sth gimme a message haha. Basketball court + Jurong Point for the win.Still, Jurong isn't THAT far from woodlands. around 11 stops on the MRT. 9 to jurong and 2 to boon lay. Yeah Centris is at Boon Lay, cause Jurong Point's at Boon Lay. So I STILL can attend outings haha. I just needa leave earlier.
I'm looking forward to hitting the gym every morning. Then train my basketball or sth. That's provided if I'm free though. Crap. And.. my guitars and piano aren't gonna be moved. I'll be bored. Real bored. They'll be in my room. It's already been renovated during the O Level preiod LOL. At least my future room. Renovation's for the rest of the house. Living room, hall, parent's room, present room and study room. 2-3 weeks I guess.
Hong Kong trip in the first week of December. Leaving on.. idk when and back on 5th Dec. Can't make it for Homecoming cause the flight touches down at 7.50pm. Planes drag alot. Immigration clearing's a bitch as well. Sigh. Missing my first ever Homecoming as an ex-Riversidian. But wellll i'll be there next year =D
Knowing it is one thing. Doing it is another. How to do it is another.
Like in The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. The secret lies not in death, but in fact, the secret is how to die.
Apt. There is only so much knowledge can do. heh.
Nights.

Managed to do my last min shopping at G2000 in the morning haha. Borrowed my dad's Omega watch and left for prom.Outfit was a black shirt with cufflinks, a black blazer, a pair of pants, all from G2000. a red tie from Topman, a belt from Levis and shoes from Black Hammer. Total cost.. No idea LOL. dad paid for the shirt shoes and blazer, since only those were bought on the day itself. The rest were bought seperately. I kinda look like a hotel manager or sth. Mafia Head. Bouncer. Bodyguard. Yeah that outfit practically fits anything.
Prom Night was cool. Took my dad's car down to meet the rest. Waited. Walked around. Went up despite's Melody's and Ling Mei's warnings that we couldn't enter the room yet. Sorry heh. But nonetheless everyone was there still. Took some pictures. It was a bit of a shocker. The reception area was tiny. Got a pair of earphones as doorgifts. Audio Technica. Not bad. I checked the price online. I couldn't help it k. They cost roughly 20 SGD perpiece. Since they bought 240+ in bulk maybe they got it for around 15perpiece? Well it depends on their bargaining skills and stuff right. in anycase, i'm quite happy with the door gift. At least it's practical. Then again, I wouldn't have minded a mug or sth.
Chatted. Walked around. The doors opened and we swarmed in. Took table 1 haha. Couple of pictures on facebook. Played this SMS game thing. TBH i think the emcee was doing abit of self-promotion LOL. He effectively gave all of us his phone number, though he didn't tell us that he would be free in the future or sth. But yeah he gave all of us his handphone number. Subliminal message much.
Had the international buffet. The prawns were nice. Chicken was nice. Fish was gooood. The duck was just plain weird LOL. Creme brulee wasn't creme brulee haha. Hamon. Not salmon. Smoked salmon. Tasted like ham. Hamon. Credits to Aaron for his mispronunciation.
This Jeremy Tan guy performed some magic tricks. He was good. Practically captivated all of us. Gotta admit though, the part where the numbers appeared in the trunk without him touching is was rather expected. Guess he got quite disappointed that we didn't cheer as much haha. It was awesome, regardless.
Played a couple of games. Don't Forget The Lyrics and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Found out that Miss Mendy Kok was an ex-riversidian, the school songs has 84 words and some other stuff, some that i already knew, and some which were new. The prizes were towels LOL.
Went to play pool after prom night. Cineleisure. Played till 4am then walked to Macs for breakfast. Got the first train back. Showered. Slept at 8am to 6pm and left for Qihua for their annual concert thing.
Thankfully my stomach didn't go crazy during prom. It went crazy after though. When I reached home, it was hell.
57 pictures. and i'm only posting 7. ha.
Me and TJ hehe. I'm his bodyguard k. Please keep a 5 meter radius away from my client, he needs his fresh air to breathe. Thank you. A step closer and I will be forced to tase you.
group photo. homies + glen

Dr Ho. He looks smart hehe. I borrowed his 'AVIATORS' so i lent him my glasses lor.

Hmm. Met Huiming and Jinying at 11am. Waited till 11.30. Took a train down to Bugis to check out some stuff for prom. Looked around. I got a red Topman tie and Huiming got a white Topman $ belt. LOL. Well I would have gotten it but.. didn't have my size meh. Met Choon there. Surprise surprise. he was there for some telemarketing surveyor job thing. and he was alone aww.Heard that Yoshi Paul Lucas and some people were meeting at Orchard and heading to Far East to get some stuff. Left at 2-3plus. Met the rest and walked around. Window shopped at Converse. Got a Levi's belt for 29.90. I'm regretting it though. I prefer the other belt but it's.. expensive. I'll convince my parents to get it or sth. After all I won't wear it only once. Got a pair of G2000 pants for $39. My dad's a member actually. But I needed to alter the pants so I had to get it early.
Went back to Bugis cause Paul Hm and Jy needed the rest of their stuff. window shopped again. didnt get anything this round. Nearly got stranded cause of the rain zz. Damnit.
My god. Jy IS a master. he got all his stuff for prom in under an hour LOL. Compared to the amount of time the rest of us took, he's damn awesome.
Rest of the prom stuff (Shirt + Blazer + MAYBE shoes) to be bought on thursday when my dad comes back. Hehe he's gonna get with me. Someone to pay LOL.
Reached home at 8+. Ate. Showered. Met Lucas, Yoshi, Benedict, Jasmine and Pei Shwen to watch the meteor shower thing. They ate at macs, I watched. Left at 11.30 for Chinese Gardens.
Sat there and waited. Waited. Waited. Met up with llsh, eugene, jiahui and wencong. then moved and waited. waited. waited. moved and waited. waited. waited. SAW.
(HOW TO SURVIVE) A METEOR SHOWER EVENT.
- Don't have high hopes. The people I was with only caught a maximum of 9 sightings. I got 5. I'm content.
- Don't lose track of the skies. I sms-ed and didn't look up. Missed a couple of sightings.
- Don't bring a phone with a battery that's nearly dead. Ya can't sms.
- Don't buy the $8 groundsheet thing. It's so small and not worth it. Bring your own.
- Don't scream out in shock. Cause I think I nearly killed the other 3 guys by screaming OHMYGODOHMYGODBEHINDGOTSHOOTINGSTAR when they were getting freaked out by a bunny-cloud. Yes, the bunny-cloud IS scary.
- DO get a pillow or a cushion.
- DO go on days with dry weather. The wet terrain is irritating and I slipped thrice. Fell once. ha.
- DO bring your own drinks. A can of pepsi for 2 bucks. I refused to buy. Okay cause my stomach wasn't well but still, bring your own.
- DO keep your eyes peeled. The meteors are.. fast obviously. They just streak across the sky in 1 second, or less then that.
IN a nutshell, the meteor shower gazing thing was kinda cool, but we got freaked out. By.. clouds. I swear the images that the clouds formed were slightly demonic. It's was outright freaky. The last one probably nearly had us in tears, fear, not joy. Strangely only us 4 guys were afraid and not the 2 ladies LOL. The rest probably didn't realise.
Left at 7am or so for the mrt station. Met Kaiyeat, Renfred, Jiayi and a whole other bunch of people there. They were there meteor-gazing but we didn't meet up with them though. MRT-ed back. Home now. just showered. Heh.
Taking a lil nap now before I get my pants for prom altered and meet some of the pri sch people for bowling+pool. GG if I keep this up i'm running out of money. Need a job asap =/
Little snippets of happiness inbetween LOL. mwahahahahaha. First in a month? more or less. heh.

Y'know. Packing for the renovation can never come at a better time. I was clearing my cupboard and I found many things collected from my seecondary school years. Yes, I can finally say that now that I've graduated. I have witnessed many transformations. Apotheosizes , if I can say so myself. These ramblings shall be posted in another time.

past experiences have left me humbled, broadened my perspective and completely changed my definition on certain terms and processes.
