TUESDAY:
HAD a short nap after shower......rested from 7:45 until 8:20, was too tired to open moi eyes, supposed to meet chee wee 8:30 at outram park mrt, end up 8:50 then reach dere.

MET chee wee at the mrt station, brains too tired to think, so took the wrong train in da wrong direction, took the pasir ris tain instead of da boon lay train. So alighted n' changed train to arrive at Chinese Garden MRT at ard 9:45.

YEAH! we were meeting cannonz n' hAnwooOOooOOiii for a swim at Jurong East Swimming Complex. makaned at da hawker centre first before going to swimming pool, was amazed to find de legendary price of $2 for a bowl/plate of noodles still around in modern times. treated pals with hum chin pangs n' you tiaos, my gd bro hw asked me to try da banana milk shake. $1.50 for a glass of banana milk shake, n' it made my stomache spin like da washin machine. cannonz bro didn't like da salted hum chim pang, so I requested for da uncle to change to red bean flavour.

NEXT, we moved on to J.E.S.C. paid 80 cents for the admission fee instead of $1.50 for adults. they say 18 then considered adult, but hw n' me 19 oredi, guess had to save money ba. After puttin our stuff in da lockers, we proceeded to have a great time. Went to da Wave Pool, da lifeguard tell us not time yet, so the 3 of them went to play with the slides. I hum chee, so I told them to carry on without me. Alone, I went to the swimming area for a swim, pity da 3 of them couldn't go, cos' they weren't wearin da appropriate swimming attire. Swam a couple of laps, frog style n' free style. Alas!~ I finally remembered how to swim liao. Now only left I forgot how to paddle n' stay afloat in da water.

OUT of nowhere, a thought rushed thru' my mind, tellin me to go try da slide. dere were 3 slides altogether, with blue being da longest ride, n' yellow da shortest. Mustering my new found courage, I climbed up da stairs n' took da yellow slide. dere u have it, my first conquer over my fears.

THEN, I went to find my 3 bros, hu were at da float rental area. I told them I took da yellow slide, but they didn't believe me. they then asked me to join them in da lazy river. N' man, da name says it all, it's a pool for da lazy bones, u dun hav to swim, or move at all, cos' da water flow will just push u forward.

AFTER rounds of so, I got tired of da lazy river. hw then asked if we go for da red and blue slides. daRn!~ my fears again. my what da heck!~ my greatest fear is not of death or ghost or heights, it's of another nature. Mustering an unknown source of energy, I climbed da stairs again to da red slide. TaDa!~ one more fear conquered. so, might as well try all lor, so I even took da blue slide. Amazing, I conquered my fears just on this one day, marvellous, congrats moiself~~

CHECK out the wave pool once more, n' the FUn has started. Da sprinklers were spraying water from the top at a height of 20+ metres machiam raining style. Cannonz saw his course mates in the pool n' they decided to try a stunt, to stand on da floats, all five together. A pity they did not succeed despite I n' chee wee supporting them. da wave pool activates for 15 minutes once every hour. during that time, da sprinklers will spray watter from da air, n' there will be waves in da 1.8m deep pool, tt's why it's named the Wave Pool.

WHILE girls like to pillow fight, we boys have our own------da float fight. We smacked each other senseless with our floats. OucH!~ cannonz, chee wee n' I ganged up against hw, sub-comm vs. exco, handicapped match I presume, hw fled off in disadvantage n' surrendered to us. then cannon n' chee wee teamed up against me, once again, I fought back with everything I had n' managed to barely defend myself.

ANOTHER few rounds at da lazy river again, while wating for da next wave pool time to come. had a total of 3-4 wave pool times before we left the place.

SUNTANNING session at da jacuzzi pool, where I ended with my sunburns, which still hurts as I type this entry. chee wee tokked to hw abt his love history, while I eavesdropped beside them...

LEFT J.E.S.C at ard 4pm, where we went for makan at da same hawker centre again. chee wee n' cannonz had bak kut teh, while hw n' I had laksa. was afraid that we could not reach Queensway in time, cos' chee wee had some appointment at six. cannonz asked his fren for direction n' we ended up taking mrt to queenstown n' take 195 to queensway. We were lucky to get on da bus right after we emerged for the station cos' hw went to chase da bus. xie xie ni wor.

GOSH!~ my 1ST ever visit to queensway. saw ah tan n' timothy while were were crossin da traffic junction. they were dere to shop for stuff at ikea, for the union, I supposed. after all, ah tan's da QM ma. chee wee brought me dere to see some sneakers, mainly nike dunk n' high-cut sneakers. he oso brought me to a shop tt sells billabong stuff. da tees for $30, da shorts for $60. da price maybe abit high for me, but I think it's worth da money, shall start saving now...hopefully I can...

BYEBYE queensway, hello IKEA. Enjoyed de famous ikea hot dogs, with chilli sauce, ketchup n' mustard sauce. Had 2 hot dogs each, with hw n' cannonz, cos' chee wee has left for his hair-cut appointment. did window shopping at IKEA looking at interior design, furnitures, n' decorations.

RAN HOU, we departed with cannonz at simei mrt, while hw n' I went to east point. Makaned at KFC, hw asked for a large whipped potato, ended up with 4 regular whipped potatos, n' a large coleslaw, all courtesy of ym n' hw pte. ltd. Saw moi first sem classmate pearly, n' so waved at her.

GOT a taste of technology at the east point gaming arcade, where I paid $2 for 4 games of KOF. sharks!~ lost da first 3 games, cos' either da buttons not working, or da joystick cannot work properly. ok la...I admit I lousy, ke yi ma? thrashed 1-to-3 by chang koe han, damn pek chek. da last game was KOF 2002, which was my first time playing in the arcade. I fought moi way thru' the stages, defeating team by team, until I was totally screwed by the final boss, Rugal BStein. damn pek chek lor, he one hit take 3/4 of oi life, den I cannot hit him at all...I know I lousy, but really damn hard to beat, with oi current skill lvl lor....shall train to beat him, to show hw tt I'm not tt laoyar...

TOOK bus 38 with hw to alight at his house void deck. he dragged me to ton at his place, I refused n' he pulled moi bag. I damn not happy lor, so I said "since u like oi beg so much, u may hav it". so I went home empty handed, load-free. luckily hw got some conscience n' didn't leave moi bag downstairs, cos' some of moi valuables were inside, including moi matric card.

BOARDED bus 8 n' dropped at tP to transfer to bus 23. was so tired that I dozed off while waiting for moi bus. I was awakened by da engine sound of da bus, but when I realised it, moi bus has oredi left. shark!~ missed moi bus. Waited for another pitiful/pathetic 10 minutes or so for moi next bus. slept thru'out the journey, woke up towards moi stop only to feel cold n' still sleepy.

TOOK a nice clean refreshin shower n' ticked into bed, was too tired to bother abt blog n' msn n' stuff. good night [*.^]
