hello.

Yesterday I said I would say more today, but huiqi's kind of sums it up, so yeah. It's settled a little, like sediment. It was so bad because I kept on being distracted by pop thoughts in the worst times ever, like during tuition, and then now when it really needs to come, it's stuck. I think I'd like putting out my thoughts on this here to keep a record, but I would have to not say the entire thing, so then I'd have to rehash everything again privately. Sorry I'm not making sense.

I foresee a lot of writing in the future, but I really really have to MAKE myself do it because now I desperately want something to read. Even though I've got my stack of F&SF mags, they are a last resort. But I need to refer to the actual books [alaska, catcher] to write the review so it's a good source of motivation when I can't borrow new books without returning the books to review and I can't return those until I have actually written the review.

POP thoughts are coming, slowly. So huiqi talked about thursday until she and some other yearmates left for lunch, and esther and I stayed back. And then I finished my rcv present. Yongruoxi came, and finished her evac thing, and then both esther and ruoxi did the chocolates, which were quite pretty, though later on the secthrees were too smart to get tricked. And then I think jane came and finished her present, joan came, then liangsi and jiaying. They finished the notes [wow the juniors have a large lucky stack to read each xD] and the other baton presents.

So we didn't feel like taking the train to aloha changi, and took cabs, 4 of us in each, and on the way junru called esther to complain about being early, lol. Arrived at the chalet, ate lunch [thanks, sihui!] {damn I still owe ruoxi and esther money} and waited for the juniors to settle in, haha and gave them time to stick the pads on the door. [a tampon could have symbolised... fly?]
Okay and then things happened, evon and I scored at cluedo :D even though it's been a long time since I last played and I forgot the rules >< carey's team could have won, actually, because I forgot that you didn't have to be in the particular room to guess the correct suspect/ weapon/ location. Ah, boring technicalities. I suppose you're waiting for something more scandalous, gossipy or interesting. Sadly I'm never directly involved in these things, although I am very good at passing on gossip.

So anyway I'll skip to after present-giving. I brought my sleeping bag! and didn't use it. Not that I expected to, of course, but I had the feeling yearmates would forget, and last year everyone just pulled out all the sleeping bags available to use so I thought someone would use it but no one did. I brought my sleeping bag last year and didn't use it either, lol. I slept on the road! This entry is getting to be very informative, isn't it? Oh haha and I found out how easy it was to come up with crap. But of course this entire blog is testament to that.

Because I fully intended not to sleep, I found people to stay up all night (well, almost) and talk to. So at 12.50 yingling fiona adeline and I went out to the sitting room, where yingling could watch Fahrenheit on yulebaifenbai at 1am. I love late night tv, but all the good late night shows are on cable, like ugly betty. On a side note, jiayan was complaining about the lack of a dvd player or a laptop on which to watch shows on, and I agreed with her, because channel 8/ u dramas are AWFUL. But then again if we did have a dvd player, it would kind of stop people from talking, which is a bad thing.

Then after farenheit came out, siling joined in the conversation/ roundtable discussion, and we talked and talked and talked and talked. Esther sihui and joan dropped in a while, but mostly because the couches were 10 times more comfortable than in the room (my sleeping bag is comfy!) or the room was too cold or that there wasn't any space in it. Which was ironic because one of the reasons that we wanted to give the secones the room was that we thought it wasn't safe for them to sleep out in the open. (and lots of us slept in the open, and huiqi took unglam pictures -.-)

Around about 3.40am we got exhausted by talking, and started crapping. And we are all good at that! Adeline got tired, so did siling, and they fell asleep. Joan and sihui kind of migrated a little during the night, and esther ended up on the floor (oops!) Around 4.15 or so we thought it was a good idea to steal all the sofa cushions and put them on the floor because there was more space to spread out. I got excited, (so did yingling) and pulled out everything :D There was more space on the floor, but I didn't feel like sleeping on the smelly sofa cushions, and ended up embarrassing myself in front of the juniors by doing handstands -.- I mean after a certain time, if I stay up late, I go a little crazy. Or maybe more than a little.

haha then after pulling all of the cushions out it was hard to figure out how to put them back, because we were all kind of hungover by then, and I was giggling a little too noisily. The morning after, it was reported that people could hear our voices the whole night. [sorry everyone who wanted to sleep! Because I've had people talking when I wanted to sleep and I know how irritating it gets.] But I supposed yearmates got to sleep like logs and woke up at 8 xD Some secones were awake and trying to entertain themselves at 5am ><

So at 5 yingling fiona and I went on our long-awaited walk. Heard someone play dance music on the speakers in another chalet, and I actually thought there was a party I could join, and a lone person with a laptop and speakers was kind of a letdown. Found the beach path which had a lovely view of the sea, and we sat down in the sea breeze and waited for the sunrise. It was quiet, and in fiona's words, "romantic". Napped a little till it was too cold, then went to sit at a bench near a barbecue pit to sleep somemore. Gave up on waiting for the sunrise, and went back to the chalet to discover that we had waited for an hour by the sea. Yingling and fiona had the patience to wait for the elusive sun, and I gave up and collapsed into a sofa seat and slept for approximately an hour, and sleepily said good morning to evon.

Went back to the beach path briefly at 7 in the morning to look for my phone, which turned out to have fallen in between the sofa cushions -.- but it was nice getting a look of the sea anyway.
So ends my eventful night, and this is for everyone who was wondering what we were up to xD

Personally I know yingling will talk about the more important things on her blog, but I'm still hesitant to talk about emo stuff here, because unintended things might escape from my cavernous mouth. Just wanted to say that talking was very enjoyable, and waking up to the company of yearmates was a very warm and fuzzy feeling indeed. I didn't think that juniors would cry for us, and their items were very sweet(: and haha sometimes literally sweet, with the abundance of flying sugar bombs. Will be missing rgsrcy lots and lots, especially the juniors. Thanks for all the presents (they looked like they took a whole lot of effort to make, for all 27 of us) "whenever you remember" has been playing in my head all day!
