HMMM......has been out for da past 3 days, leave in da morning, back only by midnight. monday, tuesday, wednesday......here we go...

MONDAY:
WENT to sch for leaders' meeting. was supposed to meet cheryl n' peeps for breakfast... left moi house ard 8:40, managed to catch the 8:50 bus......reached tampines interchange at 9:25. late oredi, so quickly strudded moi way to Mac. when I reached dere, noone was around?? so I found a place to seat n' waited dere all da way from 9:30 to 10am. then decided not to wait anymore n' go to lounge for da meeting. so took bus 23 to TP n' walked to the lounge. time is 10:20, noone is around? so I put moi bag at da lounge door n' proceeded to da opposite corner to wait for peeps to show up. so I waited like a fool dere, until 11am, when hAnwooOOooOOiii finally showed up with da keys to open da lounge door.

SHARKS! everyone was late. very late. super duper uberly late. I wun commment much, as I'm seldom punctual. makan some western food while we had our meeting, which was to settle da t-shirt size n' orders stuff.

STAYED in da lounge counter to help with da telephone calls, while da Exco went to play badminton. *this needs to be mentioned...... some of the peeps we called didn't answer, so we left voice messages for them (noone checks voice msgs anyway) well guess wad? kai sheng left them aka "this is TPSU calling...pls call back ASAP...the number is ...u go check for urself...HaHa!!...byeeeeeee" I mean, this msg doesn't sound urgent or important at aLL!~* after da phone calls, da whole gang went down to toWn!~

LINGLING said she wanted to go to ToWn to shop for a pair of shoes, a formal shirt, n' a bDay gift for our belOved Benedict, to wish him a happy belated bDay. she asked me if I wanted to go, den I asked ard, n' the response was gD, so about 6-7 of us took 518 Express from TP to Far East Plaza. makaned some halal stuff at da 5th floor of Far East Plaza while we waited for chee wee... oops!~forgot to mention that kai sheng was not with us then cos' he had some celebration dinner to attend. while makanin', called hAnwooOOooOOiii to ask if he would like to join us. he politely declined my invitation n' stuck with his playin' bball. ard 7pm or so, cheryl had to depart us to join her fren for a movie. while cheryl was absent, we went to Lucky Plaza to see shoes. haha......didn't know that the shop keeper was actually waitin for us to close shop, cos' we were pointing to this shoe n' that shoe n' askin opinions abt taste n' preference among us peeps.

WITHOUT cheryl, we then went to ngee ann city aka takashimaya. fuad showed us to a shop called ZARA, sayin' dere was a very sud sud sudki leather jacket in the shop, n' da price was very sudki sudki too!~ oMg!~ $600 for a leather jacket. but yeAh, it really looks niCeee~~ went back to G2000 to join da rest. heehee, chee wee was the model for testing all da shirt size cos' lingling said her fren's build's almost identical to chee wee. tried to fold back da shirts after trying them, only to make more of a mess. fortunately, da kind assistant folded da shirts neatly with minimal effort, showing us his amazing skills of shirt-folding.

LATER, we headed down to orchard cineleisure to source for Benedict's present. we chipped in n' bought a beach shorts n' a water bottle for him. suddenly, cheryl appeared with her fren, they had just finished dodgeball the movie, n' she asked us if we had any plans for da night. kaisheng kept saying K-Box for $10 on mondays, which didn't happen in da very end cos' we had other plans. next, we had a hard time deciding which movie to watch. it was a tough battle involvin white chicks n' terminal. oh!~ kai sheng popped up just in time to join us for movies. the grp was split into 2, one watching white chicks, da other watching terminal. da show was really interesting, humourous n' enjoyable...made me let my mind off some unhappy things while I laughed my way thru'out da show. it was a show with many many jokes, n' hidden humour n' sarcasm.

WHEN we came out of da cinema, we were surprised to see cheryl n' her fren sittin dere waiting for uS!~ she thought that we would hav other plans for da night. we chatted with her n' her fren macwyn while waiting for those watching terminal to come out. it was decided that we goto newton for supper. the idea came from cheryl. she went to send macwyn off at da bus stop before we began our journey to newton. well guess wad? we walked from orchard cine aLL da way to Newton food centre !~

CHERYL, lingling, chee wee, cannonz, kai sheng, yin san, fuad, a year 3 sub-comm n' me, the nine of us had a hearty meal at newton with sting ray, fried carrot cake, fried oyster egg n' bbq chicken wings. $6 from each of us, to enjoy da food, shIok!~

AFTER supper, peeps asked ard to see if hu wanted to ton for da night. lingling had to work, fuad, yinsan, year 3 sub-comm, kaisheng had research programme in sch da next day. so left cannonz, chee wee n' me to ton.

DA 6 of them took cab ride home, while the 3 of us began our journey again......this time, to da eSplaNade. Without further ado, we cut across Cairnhill Road to arrive at da pArAgon. then we walked n' tokked along da way until we reached Plaza Sing. this was when I told cannonz n' chee wee that I needed da toilet badly. so we seeked refuge n' asked da security uncle if we could use da toilet, he said wait until da cleaner auntie finished with da cleaning before we can go in. the 2 of them were really brothers sia, they accompanied me in da washroom n' even played mp3 to help me kill boredom. after which, we went to 7-11 store, chee wee bought a bottle starbucks coffee, cannonz bought soya bean milk n' I took a can of coffee. at da counter, we saw they were selling chocolates , 2 for $2, out of curiosity, I paid for it. we tasted da chocolates, it was so swEEEEt!~ that it tasted like syrup. checked da label, it reads" malt sugar chocolate " some peeps pls remind me not to buy this choco ever again. it tastes more of fruit candy syrup then cocoa powder chocolate. yuckZ!~~

CONTINUED with our journey. tokked n' tokked along da way. wanted to try the Selegie soya beancurd, but realised that is's not 24-hours open. sorrie brother cann n' chee wee, made u all go a wasted trip....moi fault. then walked pass albert court hotel, golden wall plaza, sim lim square, albert complex, fu lu shou complex, bugis village, bugis junction, shaw towers, n' finally suntec city, to our destination......The ESplaNade. but before that......while walking pass suntec, cannonz said that was where he lost the Esco's beach volleyball., so he tried to find it. hemm...then chee wee said the place damn scary, dunnoe what's behind the bushes, better not to look, not to peep below also, wat if got leg or hand or a head staring at u. den aLL of a suDDen, cannonz started to run, chee wee followed suit, I trailed behind to keep up with their pace. later asked cannonz why he ran, he said, juz for fun la... [^*]

REACHED our final stop. some peeps were around, it was ard 3am plus when we reached dere. a small grp was playing daidee dere, the security guards were ard too~ the 3 of us found a nice spot n' lied dere. the sky was red n' dere was lightning. we thought it would rain, cos' I was speaking to hAnwooOOooOOiii on da fone n' he told me tampines oso sky red red n' got lightning. then chee wee came up with his *strange* theory that indonesia will not rain today cos' the sky towards indo is dark n' black... gee...that's so *brilliant*

TOOK some photos using chee wee n' cannonz camera phones. da pictures were all but serious. we acually tried to use fake angles to show like we were kissin each other!~ yEeEE!!~
their 2 heads rested on my big thigh while I had to sit n' lean against da barrier... it was even unbearable when they shook their heads, cos' it felt itchy. that chee wee...despite me pleading with him not to move his head anymore, he continued to tickle me.

SLACKED dere until 5am when we decided to walk to Fullerton Hotel. on da way, saw one man fishing by the bridge. after we walked pass him, he got a catch. izit coincidence? or we brought luck n' good fortune to him?

CANNONZ went to 7-11 again, after a stroll down singapore river side. bought fresh milk n' shared with me, chee wee bought s soft gasy drink named "bu4 shuang3" (buay song) I guess chee wee is lactose intolerant, just like that guy in the white chicks movie...

WITH our incredible legs, we paced slowly to Raffles Place MRT. I actually wanted to go esplanade to watch da sunrise. But chee wee said he had to reach home by 7am so his parents would not know that he was out for da night. so sadzzz...didn't see the sunrise at aLL, although cannonz told me it's impossible to see a ReaL sunrise in singapore. but I think pasir ris n' chagi flyover can see sunrise lehz..

WE saw the uncle delivering TODAY in the station, so we asked if we could take one. We flipped thru', n' found out that SUPERMAN has died of heart failure. What a news to start a day with. He used his celebrity power for a great cause. A pity he has left us. some words for thought here " a moment of spark, though short, can last for an eternity" his stay may have been short, but he has touched each n' everyone of us.

REACHED home at ard 7am. was intersting to see da sight when u r going home, n' u see secondary sch children on their way to sch. my body was lethargic, but my spirits were high.
Opened da door, entered da living room, shocked to see oi mother sitting on the couch folding clothes. Unloaded moi stuff, had a nice clean refreshing shower.........n' was off for a brand new day.
