Holidays around the corner!!!
Holiday mood starts to set for what I thought would be a break of the usual schooldays, but instead what has come to be was a even busier holiday homework with events and activities coming up, such as more choir practices in getting ourselves prepared for the may performance, choir chalet, Taman Negara trip from ERS, alumni chapter camp, green fusion camp, helping out in CCA fiesta, etc… Though it wasn't as much as those of the previous term breaks I had, still I'm constantly faced with plenty of pressure to commit myself entirely to each and every listed programs. And I should say it was a tiring yet fun week.
I'll start my post on from Tuesday. ERS called me up and was asked to help in shifting library books, old books that were needed to be replaced was recycled. Initially, thought that we could start work on that day, unfortunately we didn't and as a result felt quite worked up after hearing from them. It sounded as if due to unforeseen circumstances, there were no other choices but to postpone it to Thursday.
With that, we decided to go to town. Eugene was with me, met up with Evan along the way. A little shopping with the two of them from Herrens to Cinneleisure and then to Plaza Singapura as we came across this shop, selling 3 boxers at a discounted rate, unbelievable was that I actually bought it together with them.
Lunch in between at KFC, while having our meal, brought some topics up while chatting, discussion on ERS upcoming events such as Taman Negara trip, green fusion camp, CCA fiesta, etc… Basically, just brainstorming for ideas, those taken into consideration will then be included into the report to be submitted to the school management for approval. I really do hope that I will have the time to participate in those events and hopefully to balance myself as well with the other ccas in hand.
Last night, I had a great evening with my primers friends at causeway point. Specially arranged this dinner to do some catching up with them and was so glad that they are able to make it, people like cai kwan, xue feng, dawn and huiyi, it has been ages since I last saw or even contacted them. Dine at banquet and a little shopping around the mall was basically what we did the whole night. Oh, not forgetting, we did go to the nearby pasar malam. Nothing special there though, just some finer food along the way. It was rather late when we're done with everything, so headed home respectively.
Thursday came, having postponed the shifting of books to today, we seems rather ready to start work. Woke myself extremely early today, having to reach by 9 in the morning, I dragged myself to school. Were involved in some labor duty, same as what I’ve mentioned earlier, helping to clear those old books from the shelves and moving them to the truck to be sent for recycling. There were new books coming in as well. And though we had a strength of twenty, manpower was seriously a factor, there were insufficient and were shorthanded. Were overwhelmed with the amount of workload each individual were assigned and obviously incapable of more. Nevertheless, unity and teamwork aid us in overcoming those impossibilities.
Had our lunch at Westmall with the usual few in the clique, hui min, vicole, Eugene, vikky, ming jie, etc… Felt pretty lazy and restless after a heavy meal at Mos Burger. Rather than walking aimlessly round the mall, we thought of something much more exciting. BOWLING! The plan failed, after hearing from the staff that we have to wait a couple of hours for free slots, when the entire alley was booked by a school. Went over to vicole's house instead, played some card games at the same time discussing on where to go next. After much, we never come to a conclusion. Went over to a nearby kopitiam for some drinks and that was basically what we did. Left them not long after, meet up with ernest and ervine for dinner at jurong entertainment center. Wanted to stay and catch a couple of ice hockey games at the ice skating arena which we never did, choose to watch my beloved man utd live instead.
Match kicking off soon, guess I have to end here.
