sentosa day with womba! not many of us turned up, but we had fun nevertheless on the beach under the sun (which was unfortunately covered by grey clouds). it was awesome alone that the clouds held back their rain, got a slight tan, but not enough. played volleyball - numerous broken capillaries on my arms to vouch for that; captain's ball - seriously lacking in stamina and was constantly being attacked by the sheer height of jh and ym; monkey - was saboed a few times and had slow reaction and hence was monkey for quite a while. haha.
dinner at suntec cartel with jeremy, ym, lihui, kelvin, huiying, weiyong. after dinner, only kel, huiying, ym and i were left since the rest left for other stuff. we went to the travel fair at suntec and huiying and i were really excited at the thought of having a womba trip if possible at all. jer and lihui were pretty on about it too haha. to get the really good package, it would have to be this week, but that's too rushed...sigh.
unbelievable, but the 4 of us actually watched FA Cup Finals "Man U vs. Arsenal" at Cineleisure while waitin for sha to knock off! even more unbelievable: i was pulling a long face before and when the match started, but i've gotta admit this - the match was very very exciting! roughly know why people gather to watch soccer matches together because the atmosphere is amazing. from the tension to cheers to jeers to sprouting of profanities all over the place, it's one of a kind. the horribly sad thing is this:
Man U lost! and darn that happened. manu is the onli team i support, ok, maybe except for the occasional cheering for Real..but still, for such a non-soccer fan like me, manu es el solo liga.
played mahjong at sha's place and all 4 of us ended up staying over for the night. barely got 2 hours of sleep that night..not enough space haha. but it's ok, i'll catch up on those forty (or more) winks i missed out.
sun ~ 22/5
had hokkien mee at amk for brunch after i left sha's place. the weather was killing. killing scorching. was just bathed in droplets of water when i reached home. eww sounds awful huh. visited the temple at bugis since it was vesak day and the crowd was horrible! there was so many people - uncles and aunties and grandmas and grandpas and hunky guys and babes and kids kids kids - squeezing with one another, holding joss sticks in 1 hand and rushing into the temple at the same time. that was so scary.
was late again for work.
nothing was scary as Amityvile Horror. that show is highly disturbing and gross. caught the 1240am show at amk since it was closer, or rather, closest to home. met justin at S11 having supper w his friends. sorry man, couldn't watch kingdom of heaven with u, just that i'm not really interested in watching that too.. meet up with u soon.
had a long walk back home (read: the streets were literally littered with cockroaches and a couple of rats!!! the air was humid, was so sticky and freaked out by the time i stepped into my house.) sure was a Long walk. haha. din fall asleep till almost 6am. gosh...eye bags eye rings...
mon ~ 23/5
by the time i got to work at 5 on monday, i had at most 5.5 hrs of sleep the past 60 hours. which is clearly severly not enough since i was trying v hard not too look sleepy (which is a chore, mind you) and trying even harder not to shut my eyes while working.
today
it's rachel's 19th bday today (25/5), happy birthday girl! although we've grown so distant compared to what we shared in the past, you'll always be my dear cousin and i love u for everything u represent: independence, ability to make decisions, boldness, innovation, funkiness, being so cool.
it's going to work for 4 consecutive days, from sun to wed. talk about tiring. oh well, at least i haf fun there. cant believe that a whole month of hols are almost over like that! oh sheesh big time dudes and dudettes! that leaves us with 2 months of hols ONLY and 8 days to results...oh oh oh oh.
