Summer of '69

To lie on carpeted skies,
How I struggle to tell you
that you were always my sandbox date.

In an effort to keep fit, I made the biggest mistake of my life to go cycling with some t7-ers last thursday. Equipped with nothing except for George's hand-drawn map (hurriedly scribbled on the back of a faded Burger King receipt), we set off after GP paper.

And then I realised how amazing it was that four dudes had almost no sense of direction. ha!

Spotted: Ms Yoong doing the 'aunty-brisk-walk' @toa payoh interchange. She sure does have her fair share of paparazzi :)


The oil slick that sheri so cleverly walked in the same night cause she forgot.


We had to go through this narrow alley in one of the many deserted and dubious routes, i kid you not. Rather exciting

Ruizhi's bike spoilt halfway and Zhi yoong solved the problem!

Five hours later we were hopelessly lost, barely crossing the halfway mark and everyone was dying of cramps and steaming with frustration. So we had to call Ms Teo in the middle of her movie and ask her for cab numbers (lots of drama which I will not go into!!!)

Finally made it to Bedok corner about two hours late. Thanks so much to Tiara and Yiwen for staying there till 930 even though the famous hokkien mee was sold out by then! :))

Rushed off for family BBQ after that. Overall, a crazy day to 'celebrate' post-exams.

Okay so maybe cycling had its fun bits but I am never trusting George with any kind of daredevil expedition again :/ hahaha


Holidays are here and it's been alright so far. Skived school for most days ('cept lit. By the way the 2500 word lit essay is done! Took me five days.) because it's useless like that. Anyway, I hate to say this, but intensive math tuition has began which is putting an even bigger strain on my non-existent social life.

Went for a booksale last Sunday and got six books for less than 50! Although I really should be reading Tess/Women In Love instead of 'I married a Communist'. Dinner at Mezzanine where I got mauled by a hot but drunk caucasion (!) and sheri saved me in the middle of my stupor. Long story.

Also went to Malaysia on friday with my family and bought a ton of stuff! Developed my rolls of film and stocked up on polaroid packs and disposables. They are tres excellente. Now all I have to do is scan them in :)

Studying with sarah anne yesterday at the airport was mad funniness. The adventures of tweedle dee and tweedle dum. We are terrors on airport luggage carriers and smooth slopes. Tomorrow at eleven am again!

Jen left for Vietnam and didn't tell me! Mel is back! Faith is coming back soon! Life is great.

Tomorrow I am starting on my ham-and-cheese-sandwich diet, which mel points out, isn't really a diet at all. Considering the amount of food I consume, I would think it is. Stupid sarah and her lectures on the importance of health.



Well, that's a pretty lengthy update. Till next' :)
