(0 ) 22:41 Qian is happy! No school makes Qian happy. Seriously. I haven't had school for four days running and I'm feeling like sunshine.
Shall do a recount of my day. Haven't done those for quite a long time. I mean, my past few posts have been filed under Rants. And they haven't been very, er, happy. Yes.
Woke up at 7am this morning. Have no idea why. RPed a little. Rush gives me a lot of inspiration. As I said a post or two before, so far all of his posts have been breaking the 600-word mark, which is a lot for me. There's never anyone online at such an ungodly hour. You know, I used to wake up at 5.30am just to go online, way back in secondary school, because there were less people online (everyone was on dialup then, and because I'm on toll-free, it's hogged most of the time). YES, I HAD NO LIFE.
Left the house at 9am. At first I thought there were very few people, it being 初三 and all, because my bus was kind of empty, and not a lot of people got on at Boon Lay, but by the time I reached Jurong East, I realised this was not the case. =.=; Met You Jin at Clementi and we sat on the train all the way to Outram Park where we had to change to the NEL line to go Serangoon. Met Xin Yi on the way there, so sat (or rather stood) to Serangoon MRT.
We were late, actually. We gave ourselves one hour. Apparently it takes 1 hour and 20 min to travel from my house to Serangoon MRT. I shall keep that in mind. When we reached there, quite a lot of people were already waiting. It seems that we were one of the last. Hmm. Oh yeah, I have to say this: Jason looked like an Ah Beng. Like seriously! White collared long sleeved shirt, black work pants and leather shoes, PLUS a chain and a GOLD RING. Yeah. I was endlessly amused at his attire.
We walked to Ms Yang's house which was, no offence, quaint and a bit on the... small side, seeing that SO MANY people came. About 20, all told. And later in the day 05S31 came to visit too, and it was really so crowded I couldn't breathe. I didn't spend most of my time doing anything in particular, although I know I played a round or two of Asshole Taitee (have no idea how to spell) but there were so many people playing, about 10 of us, that we gave up after a while, even after using two decks of cards, which made for very awkward playing.
Oh yeah, we took out the Twister set to play with and DEAR LORD, it's the most obscene game ever made in history. X.x; Too bad I don't have pictures. Once I get my hands on them I'll post links. You've got to see 'em, they're just so... wrong. T_T And for the first time in my life, I gambled. YES, Qian gambled has never gambled with real money before, believe it or not. We were playing Blackjack and it's super addictive. Haha. At one point I had -$15. Yes. MINUS. But eventually I broke even when the game ended. Phew. Wei Jie ended up with the most losses, then Poh Wei, who was the banker (but he won $40 yesterday... blah), then me who didn't win or lose, then Jason (I really can't be sure if he lost money or won any... in the beginning he seemed to be winning a lot, but after that I wasn't really sure), and the big winner was You Jin, who walked away with $10. YES, TEN DOLLARS. Our bets were about $1-$3 per game.
We had lunch at Ms Yang's house, which involved lots of pizza (how many? I didn't count... at least 6 perhaps?) and lots of KFC. It wasn't a lot, I think, because we have a very hungry junior class *cough6Kcough* We also had a lot of fun calling her and her boyfriend Uncle and Auntie. Mweehee. So fun to tease people.
Anyway we left at about... I have no idea, 3pm or something, and went somewhere in Hougang (the east area really confuses me) where there was Kbox and Kpool. I have no idea why no one wanted to play pool, seeing that they went there to play pool in the first place, but we tried going to Kbox, only to find that the rates were for rooms until 9pm and were about $15 which we didn't find worth it, so we left. Instead we went to Hougang Central (or whatever shopping centre is near the MRT station, those places have similar names) and played the arcade there. Hmm you can see I'm quite blur, but I'm only unsure of the times because I no longer wear I watch. I used to, then sometime over the holidays last year I stopped, and I just never got back into the habit this year.
Sorry for digressing. We spent most of our afternoon at the arcade, playing various things like Daytona, Time Crisis, DDR and what have you. But what enraptured our class(-es? a small part of 6K and 3 seniors from 34) was the drumming game. Damn! I can't remember what the name of it was. It's like DDR, only with drums. Yeah. We were damn addicted to it, and started playing the "nonstop" setting (that's the fastest, most crazy setting) as a class, with each person controlling a different drum. Haha. We must have played it about 4 or 5 times, and once we cleared three stages at the "nonstop" setting. I wasn't very good individually. I could clear the "beginner" level setting with some difficulty, but couldn't pass the "standard" mode's first level. Bleh.
After obsessing over the drum game (I'll have to settle for that, seeing that I can't remember the real name of the game) and ending up with Anne feeling dizzy and Keat Ming with a sore palm, we went for dinner at the upstairs foodcourt. Ate Korean food! It isn't even as bad as Korean foodcourt food goes. The worst is the one at Bugis Junction. *shivers* I would even venture to say that it was edible!
After dinner, we all went home, going our separate ways. Our juniors have an econs test tomorrow, and everyone was fretting over Physics and Maths tutorials and such. Heh. I'm quite surprisingly, not too alarmed over my studies. Three subs is really really different. I feel SO MUCH better. I feel like I can BREATHE. I don't feel like killing myself all the time.
Yeah. Am quite "high" from today. Dunno if you can tell, but I find it quite obvious because it's not often that I'm "happy". It doesn't feel like I have school tomorrow. Just the thought of it sobers me. I have actually promised myself that I'll run one big round (1km) tomorrow after PE. I don't know if I'll actually do it. You know, preparing for cross country and NAPFA and all that. And we must be fit and healthy... and stuff. Hmm.
