it's funny how when you've all the time in the world to blog, you don't feel like doing so. i guess it's a kind of inertia that exists within all human minds. that inertia is not only confined within physical objects. but in human mentality as well. like how when we sleep too much, we still feel sleepy, because we want to continue sleeping. when we play too much, we feel dazed and cannot concentrate on work because we want to continue playing. it seems like a natural instinct for us to continue whatever we're doing at hand. and that leads to many compulsive behaviours that we see very often nowadays. what compulsive eating (or binging), shopaholic behaviour, repeated thefts and the ever-so-hot pathological gambling (cos of the opening of the casinos) (: but of course, no one gets too addicted to working. well, except the workaholics (which is why they're called work-a-holics (:

but then again, all we need is that push, that motivation to get us into another state of inertia. which is why i went to do a note before coming back to blogger. so i'm in a typing mode now.

friday. i didn't have to join in the rush hour to get to school. instead, ying hui and i was put in charge of guiding the old folks of sin ming onto a chartered bus and taking that bus to school with them. it was kinda unfair to her. cos sembawang isn't anywhere near sin ming, really. so the distance she has to cover in the morning required her to wake up much earlier than usual :x but since none of the i-group members stayed anywhere nearer than sembawang (except me, of course), we didn't really have a choice. *shrugs* which is the reason she was late still (though she woke up really early) cos the rush hour jam is no joke. so i was solo-ing all the guiding of the elderly on to the bus. some of the older uncles cheekily asked why they weren't invited. i told them to register to join the group next time. old folks can be really jovial sometimes (: it doesn't pay to be grumpy in your twilight years, really. like how my grandma is now. aw :x the leader of the group seemed to be quarrelling with the lady in-charge from the organisation that organises them together. confusing? alright, hc interact collaborates with lion befrienders to bring joy to the folks of sin ming (: anyway, when yinghui arrived, we were ready to leave sin ming and off we went :D

to school! arrival at the tennis courts just as large hordes of students were departing from the terraces after flag-raising. we had to wait a very long time for all the students to clear out before letting the elderly disembark from the bus because we didn't want them to go missing or get injured in the crowds. anyway, this was the first time i actually got a measure of the breadth of the number of students we have. the 2000-strong that throngs our narrow corridors every monday to friday. wow.

then the other interactors arrived to help and guide the elderly to the central plaza for the show. haha, we were supposed to mingle with the elderly but we didn't really do so in the end during the performances. it's weird how we can be shy, because interactors are usually really hyper and great at interacting (which was why we joined in the first place :)). anyway the performance was great. lion dance was a little feeble but the rest were pretty entertaining. the class guys at the back row were amusing. like the moment i looked at russell (i think only him and ryan were there at the moment), he started calling out loud for yifei. like wth! haha (: then during chinese dance performance, phuong ha and i just started talking about shaun and he just appeared beside us (to get a closer look on the dance :)) then to return to his seat immediately after it ended. LOL. looks like these kind of things never fails to gan a high profile in jc. hmmm. oh the drums performance (dunno performance number what, but it's the last performance we watched before guiding the old folks into fishtank). they were damn pro and cool! especially this girl who was dressed in athena shirt. her gestures looked so professional. but what i liked best is that all of them were enjoying their own performance. that's all you ask for from a performer don't you? if the performer doesn't enjoy what he's doing, how could you, as his audience? (: kudos to chinese orchestra!

at the fish tank, there was a lot of lag time. we found out that the old folks liked the performances a lot. and they were marvelling at the number of girls that performed so well and so much better than the guys. haha, well most of the old folks present are female. so yea, i guess they're really heartened by the increasing gender equality (that they didn't get to enjoy when they were younger) now (: so cute, how some of them were really excited over what they watched. so yea, you can be cute at any age. so true.

song session! we had jordan the joker as emcee, so you can imagine how the whole session was like. super lame. but his hokkien was good, so the old folks were really entertained. i thought he sounded like those artistes that we see bringing old folks on holiday and acting as their tourguides on tv. i think the show was called 我的导游是明星and it had many many sequels. yea he sounded like the bigshot tourguides (: there was these few times the group leader (an old auntie. she's really enthu, which is why she's always leading the group) stood up and shook her butt alongside with him. cherng yew failed to capture that not once, but all the times. lousy photographer, missing at the most crucial moments. :x anyway, we had 2 really brave souls, one is the enthu auntie, the other an uncle who could sing really well. both of them stood up to sing in front of the whole group one after another. like wow, even i would need to think twice (given my thick skin) before i'm willing to do that. and surely not with my less-than-existent voice now. the uncle didn't sing as well on friday, i think he was having a bad throat day too, like me. aww :x

bingo game. we planned 3 for the day, just like the sin ming visit during the december hols. but that in december hols took a really long time because the elderly found it really taxing to fill in the bingo boxes by themselves. so this time, to save time, we had the boxes filled n by interators beforehand. and the games started immediately! jordan and his lame jokes come into play again. what "2nd number is 2 doesn't mean that the 3rd number will be 3" like duhh. and then deddy tried to play a joke on him. like revenge? (: he wanted the number 18 so that the old lady he was taking care of could win the bingo game. scammed jordan when jordan asked him "what number (that's being picked out from the cup now)?" by telling him "18 (full stop)". the number hasn't even been picked!! and only telling him so when he announced "EIGHTEEN" to the whole group 3 times. LOL! the elderly got really confused. so he randomly picked a number and announced that it's 18 to make up for the mess after that. hahaha~ lols to interactors :d

harmoc performance and then the match-two game. it was really funny how we were trying to give hints. trying out all sorts of methods. like whispering the correct number softly to just blatantly shouting it out loud. there was this once when jordan keeps trying to blow the cover of number 8 and saying "woah the wind is so strong!" (there's obviously no wind in fishtank -.-), because that is the correct answer but the uncle was adamant on choosing number 15. then cherng yew just blatantly lifted the flap of number 8 halfway and exclaimed "OMG i saw a bit already", then the uncle chose 8. hahahaha! :DDD the next turn, the enthu auntie got her chance and she just peeked at the pictures behind the numbers right in front of us. haha she learns fast! so funny. :D i think they really enjoyed themselves on friday, and so did we :D

捞鱼生 twice! once with the old folks and once with the class. the class guys were really violent. i barely lao-ed once and there was this stack of food cascading onto me. wth. waste food :x anyway, i heard we earned 74 dollars from street sales. that's a dollar profit from everyone present (though i didn't contribute :x). kudos to everyone anyway!! :DD yayy!

oh noes the new year show has long started. i'd better hurry! this post is too looooong! ok, fac dance was great. i think all the facs were good this year, like they were pretty much on par, unless the cast difference in strength that we showed last year :x anyway theywere pretty unfair to artemis cos they practically had not time to get into their lines and the music started. so it looked really messy from the bird's eyeview. oh well. athena had the most time, even had time to cheer. ahhhh... HOOT! :DDD haha love athena! though i was wearing a red interact shirt yesterday. oh yea that reminds me, ryan and russell were dancing the athena fac dance in red shirts lol. so prominent in that green crowd. wan chu's classic comment: "nvm, ares likes our dance" so cute :p i love ares's dance! ahhh. it's damn nice. they deserved to win la :D go ares.

class outing!!

haha very normal journey to cathay when the class kept trying to squeeze me and yifei together lol! funny people. patrick especially tried to squeeze on the bus. i didn't know he's so cheeky. never even appeared a wee bit playful during pw. i think relationship topics makes people go crazy. so now it's not money but relationships that make the world go round. :o oh vanessa, me, elizabeth, bee and ly were playing the buzz game, cos the waiting time was too long and we were really bored. i keep getting to say buzz somehow (i think it's got to do with the number of people playing :)) so i had an easier time. ly and vanessa were especially funny. ly kept mixing up the numbers and pausing, slowly contemplating whether she needs to buzz. LOL (: then there was once when bee said 189 and vanessa followed with "thanks" (she was talking to ly) and we were like "there's such a number" hahaha~ (: ooh we actually managed to get to 200, i think. i just realised. omg how much time did we spend waiting for the bus! but we were really lucky cos just when we decided and started off walking to the high school bus stop, an empty 174 stopped right in front of us. in a way, it was the decision to walk to the other bus stop that positioned us in such a favourable position. so yayys :d

ben and jerry's! haha the merlionster still exist! i last ate it ages ago. anyway the eight scoops that we got for 41.70 was freaking small and was finished in no time. daylight robbery la, but we're lucky it's not our money and it's really nice. hail strawberry cheesecake! :D

then we went up the cinema and stood debating for a very long time whether to watch a movie or not. somehow, the guys were adamant on watching lightning thief that none of the girls wanted to. i won't mind any other show like 14 blades, big little soldier or valentine's day. i would really love to watch imaginarium but the nearest venue is bugis. sigh, major clash in tastes :x then we felt really bad for abandoning the guys again. it's like guys outing all over again. but the guys kept denying that they are pissed at all. dewei especially looked sian. yit khai gave his really qian bian face that made us feel that he's in complete denial when he proclaimed that he's not pissed that all the girls are leaving. lols

after that we walked around to gossip somemore *censored*

313 @ somerset with bee, linying and yifei. the mrt was unexpectedly crowded at 4+. we waited for 4 (or 5?) trains before we finally squeezed to the front and into the train successfully. we were totally packed like sardines, it was difficult to even try to get out at somerset. worse still, linying and beehoon couldn't squeeze into the same train so we waited at somerset for them to come in the next train. (:

then comes the epic part, we went straight for a hello kitty shop (just imagine yifei's face. hahahaha~) they sell very many pink stuff. damn cute (: and got hello kitty mahjong too! for the translucent gold designs like the LV tiles we saw at bridge chalet too. so cool but it costs a bomb of course. so yea, nice to see, not nice to buy. aww.

dinner at kfc! beehoon entertained us with lame jokes, stories and riddles all the way. my brain don't hav the capacity to remember jokes sadly. :x i don't really remember any other than the one and only one i told them. ok let me recall: oh yes, there's the A and C joke. the fatty joke, etc. ok not bad, i still remember 4 or 5 :D but like how bee need to take a lot of effort to recall before telling us the jokes. i guess we're still normal. haha, really marvel at people who can just recite jokes offhand. they must treat telling jokes as a second life ba. oh yea, like how bee says chengyan will just come up to her during chem lab (halfway through her experiment) and start telling jokes. lol! so random, and can just abandon your work abruptly for this kind of randomness. imba true jokers we have in class :p hahahaha! haven't laughed so much altogether in ages, really laughed a hell lot today, from interact event to 313. whoots! such fun friends :D
