alright, i'm blogging because i told qinghui that i would blog abt yesterday. so here's it..

woke up in the morning, gaming. till abt 2.30 (if u were in my shoes, u'd forget the time too). So i was supposed to meet my batch clarinet section at 3. Took a cab down to century square. Oh yeah, i almost didn't have enough money to pay for the cab fare.

So we bought the tickets for john tucker must die and went for lunch. or rather, i went for lunch.. qinghui and joyce ordered dessert and remarked that it was too 'un-sweet' for their liking. hmm.. i personally felt that it was quite fine compared to other dessert stalls that i have patronised. Futhermore, we should go for the 'healthier choice' by 'asking for less sugar/syrup'. Haha, health-concious ppl....

Bought popcorn and nachos while waiting for the two guys (clement and thomas). One bad thing that happens when u are late for meeting a group of people is that u're giving them an opportunity to talk abt u.. haha. character analysis joyce?

Well, we entered the cinema first.

The movie was quite.. ok lah. worth the 7 bucks.

The movie ended at abt 5.30 so we went to qinghui's workplace to have dinner. Some lame riddles yeah? haha. So when i decided to check the time. oh my gosh. its 6.20. we have band practice at 6.30.

Wanted to take cab down to sch but we had 5 ppl. so naturally, we could have bluffed the taxi driver that we had 3 children and two adults. qinghui kept harping on that statement i made... bad experience?

So we took a bus instead considering the fact that there was quite a bit of a traffic jam. Recieved a call from jade asking where i was.

We reached the bandroom at abt 6.40?. Suprisingly, most of the band members were there including Mr Tan. First time sial.

Well, as we proceeded into the band practice, we found out that we were not the lastest to arrive. well, what can u expect if ur actions would have no concequence in the band?

First time in band practice that i looked at the clock for less than 2 times.

Went for supper with those ppl who wanted to eat supper. haha. the seafood fried rice i ordered was rather tasteless.

Well, that's all for today, going for dinner with the SUNTEC IMF VIP crew to celebrate yu kin and huiling's birthday.

See ya

alright. its finally time to change my background, sorry for the mismatched font colours though, any suggestions?

Let's start with friday.

Met huifang, huiling and cheryl on board an mrt to head towards city hall, waited quite a while at the eunos platform for them but luckily there were no extra charges (there's this time limit that u have to observe for a certain number of stops, cross it and u have pay). Well, wasn't too bad, i'd rather wait for people than for people to wait for me. Met up with yu kin too when we reached city hall. We had to walk really fast as it was past 3.30 as the events starts at that time. well. supposedly.

Reached the convention centre and hurried up to the theatre where wow, there were really lots of people (quoting frm someone that ard 400 tp students were involved in the IMF). plus the suntec regular staff as well.. So we resorted to sitting on the steps as we wanted to stick tgether as the IMF SUNTEC VIP section.. haha. the caps are not unintentional.

Just before the CEO of suntec convention centre started his speech in a 'grandfather telling a story' fashion, i tried to get guanzuo to sit with us. BAD MOVE. As soon as i found him, the speech started and i had to stay there till the whole speech thing was over. TP students from different departments were also making speeches. I personally felt that the speeches were not exactly impressive. Well, that's just me, always critical of the way people speak.

There were refreshments after that in a buffet arrangement. It was almost impossible to get food within the first five minutes because of... well, do i need to explain? typical singaporeans. haha.

I didn't exactly keep track of how much time we spent there but it must have been alot. Eating, chatting, getting ppl for a group photo, gossiping, bitching (of course), taking more pictures, drinking, and even more pictures, collecting the tokens of appreciations (anyone heard of pens by Guy Laroche? not forgetting testimonials which are exactly the same except for the name). Yep, a long time.

Walked a little round suntec is search for a place to sit and chat before the group decided to head for town.

There was quite a debate on which movie to watch. say.. half an hour? and right after that as settled, part two. which cinema? poor huiling had to call and message her bf so many times because we were quite fickle with our decision. Well, it was due to things like whether we can reach orchard cineplex in time or Lido or maybe perhaps a slightly later show at GV. Hmm.
It was then decided. Haunted Apartments at PS @ 9.35pm.

I'm not quite a big fan of horror but i'm more of a crowd follower when it comes to movies. i guess if the girls had agreed then there is no reason for me to refuse. Just before we entered the cinema, fangwen handed us thank you cards. That was really unexpected and thoughtful. . Really appreciated it. THANKS if u're reading! The girls also picked a present in which everyone chipped in to buy. (i still have no idea what it is). Didn't like the storyline. I could have sworn that if gangsters sat in front of us, there would be multiple homicide due to the amount and volume of laughter and screams emitted by our group.

Headed for home on board bus 65 with benedict and cheryl where we coincidentally met tiffany. Chatted and chatted and we were getting off the bus before we thought we were about to. That's the nice part about having new friends on board buses with long journeys with you.. :)

Saturday. went for some business talk cum presentation cum training with nicholas (or should i say for nicholas). You better repay me for this favour man... haha. Well, nothing much to say about it but THEY'RE A BUNCH OF WIERD PEOPLE AND THEY SHOULD STOP WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. yep.

Sunday. wasn't feeling too well so i skipped church. must be those booming voices frm last night. at least there's something to look forward to tomorrow. maybe a section outing with the tp clarinetists and then band practice at 6.30.

Wanted to start work this week but it seems like my evenings are rather occupied.

anyway, a random thought for my readers to think abt too. haha. mY ReAdErS.

Have u been waging cold war with someone without actually telling the person why? well, it applies to me as well. kinda unfair for the other person isn't it?

So here's a big apology to all those who i have waged cold wars with without telling them why. You do have the right to know.

Till then, Tata!

rather shagged for the past few days due to imf.. imagine.

working from 7am to abt 9pm and waking up at 4.30 am for the next day. multiply that for abt 4 days and work for the rest of the days in that two weeks for at least 6 hrs.

Now that i'm off i feel too free.. i guess economists were right. people have unlimited wants.

Imf ends tomorrow with a big bang. a cocktail reception for 1500 people..

welll... back to thinking where i should head to later...

alright, i'll try too blog more often.

After a couple of days not going to sch, i realised how much i missed tp. lol. sounds really wierd. Anyway, had the famous western food at the design canteen before proceeding for band practice.

Earlier this morning, i had IMF training any uniform tryout. More of a location orientation rather than a training session. and can u believe it? for getting to know suntec convention centre for 4 hours we are getting an hourly pay of $6. Wow. The tailored obviously didn't like the idea of guys wearing pants lower. He made mine in a way that i had to wear it at my waist to fit in. hmm.

Been playing a lot of games since the holidays started, i hope that i'll find something more meaningful to indulge in.

Meanwhile, i hope for the best for my results of my first term in TP. Shouldn't be too bad in my opinion.

Anyway, here's a picture taken at ard 11pm at night. Enjoy.
