♥

This have been the first time that I have been fully packed for the entire first week of my holidays. As in I had everything planned with activities for each and every single day, and able to tell my dad that I wouldn't be going back for dinner everyday of the week.

Monday! I had time out with my dearest boy. Because I thought I wouldn't be seeing him for the rest of the week.

Tuesday! I met up with Amanda Leong, Jane Violetta and Geraldine Tang for dinner. Had pretty much a great deal of fun, laughing away and embarrassing ourselves. Haha. We had our dinner at this steamboat place in Bugis for only $12.80, by recommendation of gifford. Not bad, it was something like a value for money thing. But the thing is all of them were really small eaters. Eat a bit don't want to eat already. LOUSY! Hahaha. We rested our bloated stomachs at Starbucks where all of us shared a large java chip frappucino, and started camwhoring. Although it was just the four of us, it was fun and crazy! Hahaha.

Wednesday! I had a 1D01 class BBQ at East Coast Park. Argh, It was pretty much okay only. I expected at least 15people to turn up that day, but it was a real disappointment. In the end there were only about 10 of us excluding Mr Ong. Like seriously, it was meant to be a CLASS outing, not a special invitation to some barbie tea house party. So we all met earlier to have some fun before the food came. QinJie pulled a friend along, so that made it 11 of us. All of us went cycling together, that's something really cool, I thought. Never did I expect all of us would all go together. Haha. We cycled to places I had never been to before, so it was a pretty good experience. We went to the extended jetty where everyone goes to catch fishes, and we watched the people catch big and really really small fishes. Quite cool, should go try fishing someday. Haha.
QinJie and his friend brought us to this place where they claimed that we could find crabs and fishes on the coasts because of the high tide in the mid afternoon or something. Went there and saw nothing much, until a few of us walked further to this canal thingy. I have no idea what you call it, but it was this canal that acts like a fish farm, where they have deep squarish pits to capture water from high tide to low tide-where the sea creatures are somehow trapped in it. The horizontal platform was higher, with the vertical platform lower. We had to climb over the railings to get in. Saw like super alot of sea snails, dried up mussels, baby corals, little fishes and tiny crabs, not forgetting, ALGAE. I tell you, algae was the worst experience I ever had. I was on the far left, when the guys said they saw a pretty big crab in one of the squarish pits. I got excited so I decided to take a shortcut by walking through the vertical platforms which were partially submerged in water, with algae on it. I didn't think of it that its was very slippery, because I was stupid enough to think that it would be like stepping on seaweed. Just the first step on it, I slipped and fell on my whole butt. It is like those cartoons whereby someone trips on a banana. SO EMBARASSING. Serene was the first to see it, that she got a shock and almost fell in too, then ChangHeng, QinJie and his friend started laughing. SO EVIL RIGHT. The friend is like QinJie's evil twin. When I got up, I didn't think of anything else but just get up and away from the algae. Another step, and I almost fell again, luckily QinJie was there to pull me across. I looked at my butt, my whole shorts had a thick layer of brownish green substance, my phone somehow got splashed too and the crumpler was also a victim of the gross algae. I calmly walked to the sea, and squatted there hoping to get most of the algae off. It was an ugly sight, but can't help it, it was the only way that would make me feel cleaner. Serene was there all along to help me with it. THANKS SERENE! We made it to the toilet and I had myself and my bag cleaned up, and dear Serene even helped me wash my shorts. SO NICE RIGHT. The guys waited for us outside the toilet. They looked like gays, sitting on a bench looking at the sea together. But anyway, thanks for waiting and showing care and concern if I was injured. :))
We cycled to our BBQ pit and met the rest, they were playing cards. Then it poured really hard on us that everyone else were squeezing under one shelter, till the delivery man for the BBQ food and utensils came and said that when he comes, the rain will run away. Gifford tried to start a fire, but it all died out. HAHA. We had QinJie, his friend and Chang Heng to start the fire. Then barbequed the food. It looked like very little food at first, but it turned out that there were more than enough. Mr Ong came by in the later part of the night, and he seemed as if he was some special guest. The best of all the food was set aside for him and no one was allowed to touch it. Variety of food was not bad lah, because I was the one who ordered the food eh. This was the first BBQ that I remember actually going home SO early. It was like around only 9plus when we left the place. Not just me, ALL OF US. Sigh, so not ON man, all wanna go home. Haha. But oh well, I think I did have some fun. But even till the end of the day, I don't even know what was QinJie's friend's name. HAHA.

But still, I don't get it. Last resort is of no reason to be not there.

Thursday! A night out for a celebration for Lissa's belated birthday! We were at Clarke Quay's Pasta Fresca. So many people turned up! We took loads of pictures, and everyone was quite mad. Really noisy and crazy. We took up the whole entire second level, and I think the waitress who was serving us had a hard time 1) getting our orders, 2) even pouring water, and 3) helping us to even just take ONE picture. But after the food, when I see her at the side, I always see her giggling at us. It was quite fun, plus catching up with most of them. The guys there were joking around so much that I hardly stopped laughing.
If only it was like that for me.

Friday! Another BBQ in the night, but it was a 4D one. With people like Cedric and Jacqueline, it will never be boring! Haha, Cedric is someone who thinks he's damn cool, and Jacqueline is someone who we can make fun of. Haha. Of course with everybody else who was there lah. Cedric and Joash starts the BEST fire that is able to last throughout the night, like the night at the chalet. But it turned out that they were so ambituous that the fire was too hot that the chicken wings got burnt. The girls took alot of pictures together, we ate alot and grew fatter. Gossiped about our current school life, and had a typical girls talk. Time passed so quickly when I was with them, that when I thought it was only 8 plus 9, it was actually already nearing 11! Ah, I miss 4D 07' so much.

By the end of the week, I'd be bankrupt, zero cash, zero atm.

I'm talking champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
