fake freshie
days are just flying past. herm. well so what happened ytdy was i decided to be a ntu hostelite for a day, crashed my cousin's rm cos her roomie wasn't staying tht nite. all in the name of fun la, and boh-liaoness of course.
I AM SO DARN ENVIOUS OF THE HOSTEL PEOPLE !! hostel living is simply put, one of the best things abt uni life. it's like, you'll always have company ya? there's always so much to do... playing mahjong, midnight runs, badminton... the list goes on and my personal favourite *drumroll* midnight suppers !!!!!!! i can almost imagine when the crunch comes and everyone starts mugging together... tht sense of solidarity in the air, i guess?? and there'll always be someone conveniently arnd when you decide to take a break away from it all. geez, how wonderful it feels to just have your personal space all to yourself, your friends a holler away, a home away from home. =)
aha... so i managed to join becky and her hall mates room-hopping. they were really creating a huge ruckus, visiting from rm to rm, flip-flopping arnd in their slippers, looking at how pple have designed their own space. the people were really warm, and definitely totally wacky. madness, felt like one of those mass house-visiting sessions during chinese new year. =D guess i enjoyed the excitement of being arnd thm, tho i cldn't help but feel conscious abt the fact tht i was an outsider afterall.
after tht i rejoined my cousin and her blk-mates, all guys tht nite, since the girls had headed home to stay. she intro-ed her sp to me, aha, can tell he's a nice guy la, kinda cute, i await for gd news btw the both of thm. sssssssh. dbt she reads this or she'll kill me. yup, the guys were playing badminton at first, thn we decided to head out for supper..... it was a looooooooong walk out. one thing i'm glad for is tht, no-one else nvr ever tells me the distance, otherwise i'll nvr willingly walk tht far. ahaaaa. but the egg prata at the end of it all was really worth it. mmmm. amgst the grp was this ah-beng, he's really hilarious... he'll just go on and on and on, and whatever tht comes out of his mouth is just funny, cos of the way he says it. he's been christened the blk jester.
yep so by the time we all made our way back, it was 4 sth in the morning... had to climb the gate cos it was locked, arg, scary, didn't realize i was so high up when i jumped dwn, the impact on my bare feet was pretty great. well, i really enjoyed myself arnd thm. ntu ppz are just so wacky, i somehow find tht kinda mad spontaneity lacking in smu, like, everyone's so cordial to each other ?? or maybe tht's what i've observed so far. xiaowei met us and we bunked in together, till the nxt morn.

orientation camp, 3D2N
short and sweet shit.
S A S S Y, sassY is what we are! 
right now, i'm still shacked, and suffering from tht post activity kind of blues. glad it was short tho, but i really enjoyed myself, nevertheless.
well. it was all fun and sunshine till they kept emphasizing on the circle values, brain-washing crap. but brain-washed we willingly were.
Day 1
okay morning meeting. i reached real early at the carpark. herm. first impression of the grp was tht it wasn't gonna be much fun, they looked like the the really serious sort... we were pretty quiet, compared to the other grps, chatting happily away. and i was like uh-oh inwards, seems as tho i wldn't get my fantastic orientation afterall. wasn't feeling all tht ra-ra too, cos i was still argh, having my period, and after hearing tht we were having wet activites first, i was like boo, i dun wanna miss out on the fun~ =/
but we gradually warmed up to each other. the guys were great, honestly, so much so tht the girls became decorative elements or sth. like they took the initiative to take on all those mundane tasks- trash,food,log- right from the start and they did it without complaints throughout the entire duration of the camp. okay, i felt damn pampered by thm, like for eg. i'll be fumbling with my bottle tht i strapped onto my bag and the nxt thing i know wh offers to unstrap it for me. feels really different from the "diy" experience tht we girls had for obs. i mean, back thn we did everything ourselves, orienteering, dragging the kayaks in and out, setting up fires, lugging the miscellaneous gear. and you know it felt really good tht you were able to do all those things by yourself, a sense of achievement, yea, like girl power !! *laughs* and then come to this camp and you... find tht it's very much a fortunate luxury to have been taken care of like tht. and you really appreciate it cos for 1) i can't read maps for nuts and have absolutely no sense of direction! 2) no strength to lift those heavy stuff anyway. grin. this time we had the manpower la, literally. =p
heh, right from the start during briefing our MAN joe was singled out, and he pretty much became a celeb. aiyo, like, our team is identified by the other grps cos of him. "eh, tht's 82 rite, got the man there... " i think the initial idea was tht we were going to take things easy for the rest of the orientation, lol, hence the snail became our mascot. and our slogan?? Slow And Steady.. thn our grp name evolved to SASsy. we weren't overly competitive or anything, just aimed to do our best and have lotsa fun at the same time, and i guess we did! more often thn not, we did pretty decently for the games la.
my grp started off orientation with wet activities at chinese garden. chinese gardens was more fun, i felt. kayaking was good, cos my partner aaron was very experienced, it was pretty much smooth-sailing. then we built our raft next, and i couldn't stop laughing at the miserable state of our craft. for one we didn't have a specific design in mind, just wanted to make it up as we went along, and tht was a huge mistake. didn't have enough rafia to secure everything properly as well. heh. and the craft tht went in pretty much became a submarine and had to come back for "repair works" b4 each time. aaron's comedic talent is first discovered, as he STUFFS the banana into his mouth for the relay. it was really hilarious watching everything.
next, we did dragon boating and whoa my first time!!! aahh... damn tiring, but very shiok when everyone gets the timing right, you really feel the boat cruising ahead~ =) we won this round, lol... and due to the lack of people, all the guys decided to go agn for the 3rd round, and boy were they fast! aha, smart too, they switched sides simultaneously once they got tired. ah, the sweet taste of victory. the next activity we combined with 81, rope bridge building. this was damn confusing cos the group effectively became larger, diseconomies of scale set in. namely managerial complexities of organization ( i still remem my econs, yay!) bit. well aftr a highly confusing start of gg round in circles, everything was sorted out, and we just tried helping out as much as we could. the other grp was more involved somehow, and i found myself being damn free.
the last activity for day 1 was a murder mystery to solve, and we found ourselves wandering thru the chinese gardens in the dead of the night, questioning the suspects. during the briefing the instructor was dead serious, spooking us with stories of the blood moon, and halfway thru he received a call fr. his fellow instructors abt man-sized creature tht crawled up the bridge... which till now, i ain't sure is for real or not. Barely slept thru the nite, was highly aware of the noises arnd me, snoring la, pple telling ghost stories, and MaN's head/pillow which bumped agnst mine a few times. lol, i had to crawl dwn inward my slping bag to avoid him.
Day 2
we had station games and geez i dunno howw many times i was lifted by the guys, cos i just so happened to be the lightest one amongst them. aha it's like whenever they nd someone to be carried they'll all just look at me. *sweatdrop* err, let's just say i was freaking scared the 1st time, but kinda realized they were pretty strong la. thn there was this station that each and every member had to be flipped 360 degrees without touching the floor and i was like "help!!!" inside. tho all in all tht was pretty much an exciting experience. the nxt event was the 5km trek to CDANS adventure camp, barang barang and all, cos chinese gardens was gg to be flooded. lol, corny storyline. yep. amazingly, our grp "raced" to the end to finish up 3rd, we were pretty much running at the last stretch~ tadaaaaaaaaam !!! well, the incentive was more slacking time plus better choice of dinner rations apparently. so that pretty much spurred us on, the camp food sucked!!!! cept for the first nite, otherwise i nvr did eat more thn half of my food every meal.
me at the top of the world!!! lol~
we did outdoors cooking with mess tins after tht, aha, girls finally had sth to do. geez. but amgst ourselves noone really has cooking experience la. i fried scrambled eggs!! jy was really sweet here, he was helping me alg~ grin. i find it easy connecting with this guy somehow, somehow always wind up walking algside him, and he really reminds me of edwin!! always talking nonsense one. aha.. we had mee-goreng, heated tinned sardines, chicken curry...fried luncheon meat, mushrooms, it was really a spread considering. each grp had to present a gourmet meal for judging, we named ours "sassy surprise" and we got aaron and wenwei to do the selling. aha, he was like, "sure win 1 !! " tht guy's seriously funny.
after a lightning shower at the portable showering facilities, we settled into our tents. aha... had the amazing brainwave to join our tents tog, lol.. our guys were intending to slp in one of those concrete shelters at first, which wasn't allowed la. yep. so we connected 2 tents and had a mass ghost story telling cum a sharing session. was glad, sure felt real close to them at tht point in time, aha... sharing our relationship experiences/probs and such. it was a real honest sharing session, kinda reminded me of the gd ole stayovers with the clique. haix. amusing too, cos guys and girls really think differently !! we finally turned in arnd 2 sth tht nite.
Day 3
the day we played with the low and high elements. aye. i was damn tired tht day, and guess everyone else were as well... the grp morale was pretty low. aha. so imagine our frustration when we had to redo our first station agn and agn, all in the name of quality cntrl. it'd be fine really, cept we were being continually bugged to challenge ourselves. geez. our section head lied to us! aye, jy was pretty much the stuntman here.
our next station at the log was the most hilarious part of the entire camp. we laughed till we nearly cried, aiyo. damn funny can, pple falling off the log, one after the other cos they cldn't cntrl their laughter. we had to balance ourselves on this log, thn without any verbal communication, switch our places accordingly in the order tht our facilitator wanted. once u fall off, u get blindfolded. aaron was being totally comedic, he did this 7 clap thn made this waddling action, and to get his msg accross, he literally use his fingers to draw the letter accross jy's chest. wahaaa. gawd.
high elements was okay, i was half aslp while the instructor briefed us abt the harness and equipment... *yawwwwn* lol, those rock-climbing lessons back in rg did come to some use afterall.. and aftr gg thru obs high elements, i wasn't freakingly nervous or anything, just a lil tension but tht's abt it. jy practically flew accross the jacob's bridge.. yup while i went on my dainty way balancing across, but felt it wasn't much of a kick la. was really proud of sharon for crossing all the way though!! cos she was really damn scared at first. yup. tht's abt it. war games was stupid. i got carried on a sedan style arm-chair. poor guys arms must have ached manz. we died and made this suicide mission. aha. thn it was home sweet home aftr more photo taking !!!!
the famous SMU jump.

the saga ends
more ndp ushering on saturday, this time our schl was in woodlands. at first everyone was qte sian, partly due to the lack of slp after camp. the alp we got was pretty shy, he didn't talk much. thn it PouRED cats and dogs, i was half-hoping tht ndp final rehearsal wld be cancelled afterall, so i cld get summore slp. lol. alas, it slowed to a drizzle as the kids prepared to board the buses. whoa... discipline wise, i've nvr seen a more fidgety bunch of kids. but they called me "cher" aha. funny how schlkids see an adult figure and just refer to thm as teachers. i count myself lucky, acc to sm, they called her "aunty, help me put the batteries in can?"... and "are u from the army??" wahaa.. me and huilin were laughing nonstop when we heard tht.
yup when we reached the padang, guess which familiar face greeted me the momment i climbed out of the staircase?????? aha. yayyyyyyyyyyy, him agn !!! apparently his schl was seated directly behind ours. there, the freak coincidence happened agn. yup. didn't get to talk much anyhow, had to be professional gg abt our duties, but during dinner while we congregated under the seats he suddenly popped out nxt to us agn. "warh, ur dinner very long ya?" aha, was chatting with elisa and elizabeth la, cos we met her there, and just so happened our area was near where the army guys were having their dinner as well. aye, can't help but feel tht we're always in the right place at the right time!!! thn the guys suddenly wanted to take a grp photo, so out came their digi cams and me and el became the photographers. heh, thn 1 of thm asked. "can i take a photo of you ushers?" aha, we were abt to smile awkwardly for the cam, with jm teasing the cameraman, thn el was asking them to join us. =D he eventually joined us for the photo, yay, was standing nxt to me!!! darn. i sound so hua1-chi1. but tht was tht la, geez, suddenly felt damn shy.
sadly, we wun be seeing him arnd anymore, cos he's been transferred out to another unit.boooooya. nvm, whatever will be, will beeeeee. our current alp was damn nice to us too, he bought us drinks and literally ran away when we tried to pay him back. ahaa... offered us sweets too. geez. i'll miss being attached to a schl come nxt wk onwards, lol... with all the additional perks gone, darn.

THAT time of the month
Aye, had to go for the NE show 2 earlier on, and the unthinkable happened, WE GOT BACK THE SAME ARMY GUY !!! (refer to jul 10's entry) ~ considering how many other pri schls tht were gg as well...what are the odds of that happening? really coincidental! just imagine our looks of pleasant surprise when he strode into the hall! lol. but we were happy la, cos he's really very responsible, (and cute).
this time, our pri schl was damn efficient and organized , we didn't have to do anything at all!!! like the fun packs were already packed, and the loose items distributed accordingly, so we just tried to help out a lil here and there.
truth be told, i was feeling lousy all the way... aha, was totally sianned out, cos it's the time of the month agn and i'm losing alota blood. argh. when this happens my energy meter falls by half at least, and i don't even feel like walking.
fortunately, we didn't even have to do much toilet-sitting tdy. lol, the teacher specifically warned the kids abt the wet, dirty, smelly portable toilets b4 we left for the padang. *music to our ears* so we ushers were like um-chioing (yay!) in the background.
yup. time seemed to fly by tho half the time i was like waiting for it to end. herm tht seems paradoxical, but it's true~ managed to catch most of the performances too. taufiq and rui-en sang today!!! i love rui-en ! well, tdy's our last chance of acty having seats to sit dwn during duty, so i was really making myself comfortable. aha. =p
twas a relief when everything ended. we were one of those "reach early, leave early" schls agn, so we didn't have to wait too long b4 we hopped onto our buses back to schl. was the last bus back tho, cos the uncle somehow took the longest route. =s and i got BULLIED by the lil boys behind me. ARGH. they said my cap was UGLY !!! how can ! tht is my favourite cap okayy.
got a lift back to the mrt stn courtesy of jm. he has a blue mini-cooper !!!! and he drives it as though it were a sports car. envious, its sucha lovely car~ haix. i'll be dreaming abt my volks beetle convertible.

k-bOxed.
am not referring to kickboxing, but the karaoke place. aye, can you believe it, tdy is the first time i've actually stepped into k-box, cos i've always been a firm believer of " you don't have to pay to sing la! "
well,i had my pre-orientation group dinner at marche... ordered waffles with maple walnut ice-cream (i just discovered another yummy flavour!!)+ strawberries and chocolate sauce. omg horribly sinful manz. gah, but i gs i can never resist ice-cream or any dessert for the matter.
let's just say the entire affair was pretty awkward, i was like frantically thinking of stuff to say to fill up the huge pauses, you know, to keep the conversation going. but every now and thn, the topic trails off, thn everyone starts stoning in between. i guess its normal, i mean, all of us are really just a bunch of strangers thrown together. but it's really qte a small world, cos amongst the 7 tht turned up tdy, 2 of the girls were also fr. rgs, the other girl and my ogl were both fr. nj too(whom i've nvr seen arnd either, lol)
this warming up to strangers part, really takes some time getting used too. oh yea, k-box. i dunno how many songs we mauled. aha. esp when me and this guy decided to sing fan4 yi1 cheng2's I BELIEVE, a song which i absolutely love. we totally destroyed it manz, and especially since it was outta my range. but yea, the karaoke session was a gd thing overall, cos singing-wise, i finally understand wad my flaws are!!! ahaa.. the same problems as always, too throaty, no proper support, and when it comes to using the head voice i happily float away, and when switching btw head and chest, very prone to gg off.
i guess i'm really learning new things everyday~

sr, the toilet attendant
reported at 1pm at the pri schl to start off my comm service tdy, for ndp ushering of the 1st ne show!! we started off packing the fun packs in the horribly stifling pe rm.. lol, the teachers didn't expect us to turn up in schl, but we gladly helped them out. i never knew distributing the packs could be sucha woaHh experience. erps. lotsa p5 kids arnd clamouring for your attention,and for a while i was at the counter aka frontline, sure felt like a war out there. teacher was yelling at the kids blah blah. but i was calm, and cool as a cucumber. =p
aha. i MUST describe our uniform to you. we've got a pale blue, mandarin collared (tht feels as tho it's choking you slowly, but surely.) shirt tht has orchids printed on the left side... plus BEIGE pants, which thankfully wasn't ready tdy. gross. plus since my shirt is too huge for me, with flapping sleeves and all, i look fugly in it. gah. and dun you think the attire reminds you of the auntie tht cleans the toilets??
on the bright side though, we got a really cute ALP (army liason personnel?) tht was in charge of our schl. eye candy !!! aha.. plus he was damn nice to boot.
aye, we got to the padang pretty early without any mishaps. heard there were 3 buses tht broke dwn somewhere. thn the toilet-sitting started. we did literally wad we were dressed for....!!! went to the milo-truck for free iced milo, thn the teachers saw and requested us to bring some back for thm to drink too, lol. had to keep taking turns bringing grps of kids to the toilets, and bringing thm back ~u get the picture. at one point i think i spent close to an hour out there, cos it was qte a big group and the queues were damn long. the toilets reeked. needless to say i missed most parts of the show la. aha, wld like to commend mr. eye-candy though, i'm pretty certain his duties didn't cover the toilets (neither did ours) but he offered to go too, and he was genuinely nice to the lil ones. shit. i think we kinda babysat them too much. i mean, it's not as though they'll get lost since the toilets were pretty nearby?? and they're 11 !! tho i honestly felt the teachers had a great time watching the show whilst making gd use of us student volunteers. =s aye, not tht we minded alot la, since we'll be watching it another 5,6 times? and we were damn lucky to be able to reach and leave padang on the earlier buses! =D
we DID get to catch the part when the poor parachutist crashed onto the ground tho. owwwwwwww, the poor fella, was pretty scary, i mean here we were watching the other guys b4 him make nice albeit bumpy landings, thn the nxt thing we know he smacked faced-dwn onto the ground... and from tht speed , you cld tell the impact was pretty great. thn he remained there motionless.. and tht was scary. medics ran out to the field to help, whilst the emcees yammered on, and raved up the atmosphere as though nth had gone wrong. still, ouch. heard fr. my mum it was on the news as well? think he broke a leg or sth.
all in all, tdy's been pretty much of an experience.half hoping we'll get back the same grp and him agn coming saturday, but yea, it's all purely random!!! well, the rest of us went to holland v for supper after that, but he was too tired to join us. darn. lol. i made a new friend too! this p5 girl whom i was chatting with from the beginning when i reached the schl, she actually came up to say bye to me just now, how sweet. gd thing was the teachers also really appreciated our efforts la. felt gd after tht. think them teachers are superhumans, really can't imagine dealing with so many kids on a daily basis.

And where are you now??
The Red T-Shirt
-taken from http://snarkalicious.blogspot.com/
My ex was a boring dresser. His wardrobe was brown, brown, blue, dark blue, black. The odd white shirt. And many faded black pieces - which were actually dyed black after having faded from whatever bluebrownblack life it had before.
We walked past an Old Navy when we were in New York City, and he said he wanted to pop in for some t-shirts. We stood facing Old Navy's Wall-'o-Impeccably-Folded-T-shirts-of-Many-Colours, I think they were going at 3 for $19.99. He picked out 2 navy blue and a white.
Woah. Buddy. Pal. Compadre. Dude.
"X, don't you wear any other colours?"
"But I like blue."
Far be it that I want to dictate somebody's wardrobe. But seriously.
"C'mon. Get a colour."
"But it's weird. I don't know what colour I'd want."
"Just pick one!"
"I don't know," he frowned, looking at the wall, lost.
I finally picked out a colour for him. Nothing bright. Nothing too crazy. Nothing too big of a departure. I picked out a deep burgundy colour. I'm partial to reds myself.
As he held the red t-shirt against himself, a tiny smile broke. My heart melted.
Everytime he wore the shirt after that, he'd point to it, and say, "Look! It's the shirt you picked out!"
The last time I saw him in the shirt, was when we met up in Paris while he was on his honeymoon. This time, he just pointed at the shirt and smiled.
This time, my heart broke into pieces.
======================================
bittersweet, don't u think? ~ familiar? definitely. guys and their... aversion to certain colours, heh. tho the guy snrs ytdy were all wearing pink.. and purple? which was pretty cool la, they looked fine. this story just struck a chord with me, somehow. haix.
just relieved to know tht godbro's well and fine in london... when will all this ever end? just why do they keep doing it...?

Feelin' the Same Way
The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
And I hope I reach it once again
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
So many times I wonder where I've gone
And how I found my way back in
I'll look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it in the end
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
~Norah Jones
=================================================
this song just captures the exact mood of the momment. there are days where i wish i cld stay in bed the whole day and just surrender to sweet slumber. cept that gives me hangovers, and tht sucks. Wellll, i actually woke up tdy, all ready to run... changed into my running gear, comfy shirt, sports bra and fbts, only to stone there for like 10mins b4 seeking refuge under the covers again. i suck.
but hey, a storm started brewing rite after tht... complete with howling wind, thunder? and yea, heavy rain.
i guess the weather can read my mind, if that's gg to help me feel any better.
mmm. well. went for another driving lesson, and i was definitely a road hazard tdy. seemed to me tht there were more cars thn usual on the 70km/h expressway, nearly caused an accident whilst changing lanes. =/ wad's wrong with me???
paid smu a visit just to listen to the compulsory talk. *yawn* though i honestly think the youth mentoring project will definitely bebe a challenging and rewarding experience. maybe.
and the last shot. intended to go for jazz class with huilin. BUT this bout of migraine suddenly hit me. gosh, and it really did hurt. popped a panadol and subsequently dozed a lil on my bed, thn decided i won't be gg after all. really sry girl, for the disruption in plans. well, the panadol was effective in killing the pain, and we ended up in Island Creamery having ice-cream instead. it has THE BEST ice-cream, i swear. absolutely love the cookie chunks in my reversO. nothing like comfort food to make ur day better. *sniffles*

~Ladidum
am back from a satisfying meal at newton circus with the clique.seems as though most of us are set in whatever directions we'll be heading towards. becky and shan's orientation camps are tmr. leeting had new stories to tell, having just came back from germany, she'll be heading there agn in sep for her undergrad studies. hc's "planning" to take aerospace engineering, jh in ntu engine, jy nus fass --> psychology.... as for me, i'm just looking forward to starting life in smu, what with SMUve to the new campus, convocation and camps...
life's moving ahead now, seems as though somewhere along the way, the fast-forward button has been pressed, tempo's speeding up, and woah here we are, making our decisions, preparing for the plunge into the next phase of our lives. it all seems exciting and such, but i have no inkling where i'm heading towards somehow... rite smack into the rat race?? tht ain't very comforting. but move on, we will. and you know wad. i'm missing us already. aaah, withdrawal symptoms. heh, i'd prob mentioned it b4, but it's truly heartwarming hanging out with this bunch of pple la. if only we have a 100% attendance rate at least 1ce b4 the girls step into uni. aha. but yea, tnt wld be that so-called "final" outing , feels weird tho, since qte afew were missing. funny thing was when bear called my hse just now, i cldn't recognize his voice?? blur me thought it was some snr calling abt orientation at 1st.
made this last minute decision to pop by straits time's 160th anniversary concert at the botannical gardens.it was literally people mountain, people sea!!! ahha. managed to catch sly's and taufiq's performance!!!! sly was wearing pink , thn he did his signature point and wink move too... i must say taufiq's really gd live, he sang mr and mrs jones!!! grin. distinctly remember me and el were gushing abt sly last yr. just WAD were we thinking thn?
well, finally met up with m for lunch at holland V, tried their famous katong laksa. oh, which doesn't come served with chopsticks? u just scoop up the mee with ur spoon. he had gotten me a lil gift from his trip, and kinda insisted on paying 4 everything agn, cannot always like tht!!!! argh. damn paiseh. yep thn we walked abt... i saw the most adorable puppies at the pet-shop. this baby yokshire-terrier tht was just soooooooooooooo cute. aaaaaah. thn there was this siberian husky that was really gorgeous too. costs all of 1800 bucks. you know how some dogs just have tht refined air abt them?? the husky's definitely one. just weaved in abt the places in holland v, the usa candy store which really has the weirdest stuff, FOS... i just have a vague impression of the place, cos i hardly go there.
