shit mega long since i updated. ill start from where i left off

Week 6

wednesday went to Tanglin for RE, managed to pon Muster Parade once again. I just love Mrs Povil's timetable. Act was Mini Olympics Part 2, played soccer and frisbee, last for frisbee, soccer got we played until 3rd 4th placing then playoffs postponed cos not enough time.

saturday: went to meet tsui chuan from NAS for RE, then went to Tanglin to do the ropes and see the extension scouts, then went to MacRitchie for a recce. started at the northeast side, went all the way to the treetop walk, then went to Rifle Range Road. The walk itself was really foam, pretty tired and i was sweating like a pig as usual. Then the hike was to end for the extension scouts and rifle range road where a bus would pick them up, so for us we had to walk all the way out on saturday. Then we were very degen and wanted either a taxi/alvin's miracle/hiok's chauffeur-aka-mum. hiok's mum didnt know the place, so it was left with taxi and alvin's miracle. put them together, you get a taxi driving along the road out of nowhere. =) went to j8 and ate lunch then went home after that.

sunday: went out for lunch and also to get myself a new phone (yippeee). after lunch my mum went to shop for some stuff, then as we walking to a nearby building to get my phone, this lady approached us (me my dad and my mum) and asked us to do a quick survey. she said it would only take 5 minutes. sure enough, the survery was really quick, like 1 minute. after that she gave us 2 scratch cards and it was some lucky draw thing. my mum scratched hers, got a $50 takashimaya voucher. i scratched mine, got some grand prize thing. can either get $1000, $1000 off a vacation or $1000 worth camcorder. Cant choose what you want, its already preselt per card. so before you can find out which prize you get and before you can claim it, you have to *surprisesurprise* listen to a travel agency talk! HOORAY AND TO THINK WE WERE TOLD ONLY 5 MINUTES! went to that stupid place, listened to the person talk for like 2 hours even though they only told us it would last 75 minutes. it was about some package thing that will give a lot of discounts to future holidays. but the catch: it costs $35k for a lifetime signup. so we didnt want it, got our prize of $50 voucher and as you can guess, $1000 off a holiday. total waste of time, at least there was the $50.
went to get my phone next. Went to the m1 shop, found the Omnia, payed and all that, got it and went home. Played with it all the way back. went back at like 6+, too late for jogging so it got moved to tuesday once again.

Week 7
Monday: QM session, moved all the stuff from den to the storage area. cleaned the den, cleaned the stuff, then put everything inside the storage area, to be continued on wednesday.

Tuesday: assembly program was house meeting, watched ocean's 11 and talked with 2g people for most of it. nothing on after that, so went home early. days like this are good. but had to rush chinese website which was due on friday. went jogging, 8km

wednesday: RE didnt do much. act was QM session part 2. was supposed to be junior leadership, but a lot of people had match support so it was postponed and replaced with QM session. had a 1 hr group PT session, then QM session for 15 minutes and we were dismissed. went home, signed up for dmp, the thing screwed up a bit and i ended up with 60/42 hours. thanks. chionged chinese website until like 1.30am

thursday: after school went to look for bill tang to solve the DMP stuff. in the end i got 42 hours which includes 18 hours of RLP, so only got 24 hours of modules. 12 hours for history games, 12 hours for 2 PE modules, nutrition and injury. went to watch 881 after that, left once i completed the worksheet and the main story was over. didnt really get the story cos most of it was in hokkien. went to the library to do some chinese website stuff, then went home and chionged it all the way till 1.30am again.

friday: ndp celebration. what can i say, just the same stuffs as usual. songs, quiz, performance. ended at like 10, then i went home. did some stuff with my phone, like new applications and all that. then went to take a nap from like 1 to 6 to make up for the loss past few days. went to eat at botak jones then went home for the olympics opening.

rest of the week nothing much. had some virus in the comp cos i downloaded something wrong. watched a lot of olympics, took a lot of naps. went running yesterday, but stopped cos of stomachache. it really sucks to shit when you are all sweaty.

going to be at boarding in a few hours time. im gonna miss home a lot
