today i went to SP (for the first time as a student! :D) for the CLS camp briefing. smsed jianming on the way, and sorta decided to meet him to go in, but then he said they gathered them at the mrt station, so he was going in already. so, yeah. anyway i was confident of finding the briefing place myself (: i did something quite embarrassing on the way to school though.1) at outram park station, the green line part. the train came and as usual, i was about to go in. and you know, usually they have maintenance or whatever for green line trains, and they'll announce "your attention please, the train at platform A terminates it's service at outram park interchange" or whatever station. thanks to my ear piece stuffed in my ears, i couldn't hear the announcement and boarded the train -.- there was this lady in front of me who was about to board but suddenly stopped. so i just thought she wasn't sure of what train she was supposed to take. when i went in, i was like "wow, this train's pretty empty (:" then those staff in red came chasing people out of it. thank God they were there, otherwise i would have just sat down like some idiot. and THANK GOD I WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO MADE SUCH A MISTAKE :D
2) when i reached dover (finally!), i didn't expect the train door to open the opposite side compared to the previous stations. so i walked to the normal side that i saw open for the previous stations, and was wondering why the door didn't open. then i saw that the tracks were below the door, and i was like "wait, this is wrong." just then the other side doors opened. felt extremely ps about it! felt like burying my head in the ground like ostriches. so many people saw me, and there was an aura of confidence surrounding me. i wonder how i managed to keep such a straight face during that moment.
yeah, well, jianming said that there were people there to "fetch" them to the briefing area. i did see people, but they didn't stop me or whatever, so i walked straight in... and got lost -.- SP is humongous. too enormous for a small fry like me. LOL. i sorta walked to T11A, then i called jianming to ask where he was. he said something about umbrellas an walking down this step thing. in the end i just met him at the convention centre area. and you know what? THE AREA WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET AT WAS SOMEWHAT JUST BELOW MY FEET WHEN I WAS NEAR T11A. gosh, i walked one big round. anyway it was a good workout :D
did self-intro and played icebreakers with the other CLS campers. it felt pretty awkward at first, but i guess we all warmed up to each other. haha. saw aloysius and vanessa too. today was more like a camp preview rather than a briefing. the briefing was really short, maybe like 10 minutes? the camp chief looks just like an older version of david. i was so amused when i saw him. HAHA :D we also got to know our group and GLs. my group is cool. YAY. thank God all of us in the group managed to click with each other easily (: and yes! i made an OFFICIAL new friend today! not those where you just know their name and what they look like, but a real one! her name is phyllis, and she's in optometry. no one expected me to make any friends on briefing day, but i guess my friendly self has done it again! :D woohoo!
looking forward to camp next week! they told us to bring clothes that we CAN bear to throw away, so i expect it to be pretty hiong. haha. that makes me even more excited :D and it's overnight! like, wow.
p.s. i sorta got a tan line where my pants were cos i was sitting in the sun while we were doing icebreakers. kewl. only saw it when i was showering, and i totally O: to myself. heehee :D

hello people. sorry for not blogging for so long. truth is, actually i'm waiting till after FO camp to blog, cos by then, at least i would have some interesting stuff to post (: otherwise in every post, i would be rattling about random things. well anyway, i DO have something to post today.auntie doris called thi morning to say that i could have the data entry job at AIG. after i accepted it, there were many phone calls from the H dept and the temp job agency etc. i had to change to my sweet and polite way of talking. heh. well, apparently, i'm not gentle enough to be a girl, and i talk REALLY loudly (betcha didn't know that! *don't answer*). my folks say that i might have some hearing problem, but hey, my ipod volume is only like a quarter of the max ok, and i can hear much much better than some of my family members. especially when i'm home alone, that's when i switch to ninja mode and my hearing becomes way sharp :D
ok well, i learnt that it was a 6 day work week, meaning that i won't be able to go for cgm for the next 4 weeks! got kinda upset by it, so i cried a little. when i got myself organised, God told me to turn down the offer. it was like a mind war going on, cos i calculated and turns out i'll earn about 1300 bucks! so anyway, i called auntie doris and the temp job agent and declined the offer. it's scary to talk to office professionals, cos i need to think of how to phrase my sentence in proper
enough of that. something funny happened today too! it all started when my brother asked if i could let him use the laptop...
didi: can i use it now?
sam: nah, take it.
*didi logs on facebook* (yes, he has a facebook account. SURPRISE SURPRISE!)
grandma: hey san shushu bought this biscuit from korea. he said it's very nice.
*grandma opens pack and pours some in a bowl*
sam: hey not bad!
grandma: bring into the room and share with didi.
sam: nah, you want?
*didi takes the whole bowl and eats on the bed while playing crazy planets*
sam: hey! you see la, you drop biscuit on the bed.
didi: no i didn't, this is biscuit CRUMBS.
i was like totally O: then i laughed to myself and thought: wow, my brother is starting to grasp this "out-talking" thing from me! i must be genius. HAHA :D it was a bittersweet feeling cos this is the first time a 9 year old kid made me speechless. gosh. kids these days are getting real smart. oh heck, i'm a kid too! :DD yippee!
3 good things about being a guy:
- you get to ogle at pretty girls.
- you don't get pms.
- urine tests for you should be easy peasy.
the radiographer at hougang polyclinic is mean D:
I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL! :DDDDDD there's flag day for SP freshmen though. oh well, lol.
p.s. i had a stiff neck since the morning, and it got worse as the day went by. i think the head rotation exercise during choir just aggravated my neck muscles.
p.p.s. i think i have amazing memory (: cos i managed to memorise word power verses 1-10 in 1 and a half hours. actually i recited all i memorised from time to time, so i think i technically took 1 hour to memorise. spent 15 minutes just now to memorise 11-13. yay me, but most importantly, thank God :D
gosh, long post.
