Everything since time immemorial.

It has been a very, very long time since I've last posted. ZY finally persuaded me to post again through MSN (of all things). That, and the end of the school term, allowed for this rare occasion. And I'm posting about what happened. So mundane ya. I'm becoming boring. Oh well, let's start by listing a succession of events.

Mardi Gras Festival (school event, not the New Orleans kind): THE STALL. Oh my goodness, it totally stressed me out. Last-minute arrangements killed me. Though some people certainly helped out quite a bit, not many people helped in the behind-the-scenes work. Oh well, the chocolate was nice though. Didn't really take much effort in primping, but yes, the atmosphere created was suitable for the occasion, and I won the Bingo, surprisingly. Never won many games. Silent killer. Ha. In the end, I brought home about 17 leftover apples, which my family managed to finish up.

JGs: Though I didn't speak, I am still as proud of the team. The hard work was worth it. The blur computers were worth it. The cab fare was worth it. Putting up with sometimes weird but ultimately nice team members was worth it.

College Day: Was forced to go for it. Well ok, at least I had a pretty ok time there. Quite a number of awards were given out, though I realise that this may be a small number compared to other top JCs. Performances were fine and good, but I am surprised at how the event was so forgettable for me. I forgot that I had even attended it, until my father asked me where I had been that same afternoon. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just College Day.

Biopolis Visit: I was ok during the initial presentation, but the walking tour killed me. Because I was sick, and the air was particularly dry there (extremely efficient air-conditioning, I must say), I was coughing my way through it. There were also some comments about how the scientists looked like and all. I guess this is normal (hey, raging hormones), but I didn't do anything of the sort. Quite informative I must say, and bioinformatics (my IS) was quite a big help. At the end, W sprayed something on L, and well, let's just say everything went mad from there.

Sports Carnival: My toes died there. My contact lens threatened to shrivel. And I fell twice. Blame it on my shoes, the scorching (literally) sun, and my natural imbalance, respectively. Floorball was good, but I guess I was partly to blame for the loss at the finals. Didn't exactly do my job well. Plus I was so tired (it was a long time since I was that tired), I couldn't even hit the ball straight. Also missed hearing the MMMK dedication - talked too much.

Travels to Sumohouse: Haha, this is interesting. Japanese food (very reasonable and satisfactory as well), plus two wacky friends (sometimes three), makes for an enjoyable 1 and a half hour lunch (yes, that's how long it takes). Wasabi also makes for an interesting lunch activity.

Yay, no more half-dead blog. Though it might be retching from the content I put in it. Sigh.
