Age of Ice

Nicholas - " So leave at 1.30 arh..."
Herlene - "Ee...why 1.30?"
Nicholas - "Yar hor...K lah, leave at 2.00"
Herlene - "Ee don't want, leave at 1.30!"

Yes, my friends are spastic I know. Don't tell me about it.

Lotsa stuff to blog about.

First off, VS SPORTS DAY 2006. Monumental WASTE OF TIME I tell you. It completely SUCKED! There were only 2 things fun about that. The first was that I proved to Kevin, Bob, Dexter and Jun Cong that it IS possible to walk from Parkway to VJC in less than 20 minutes (I reached VJC in 15 Mins). Eat that, Mervin!

2nd fun thing was after the rain. Nicholas, Adeeb, Hasif, Ridha, Mervin, Bob, Hanif, Brandon, Kevin, Dexter and I ended up in the canteen near the staircase. Nic, Adeeb and I turned into camera whores, snapping photos of us. Adeeb got mauled so many times - water bottles, hands, the Rochor house flag... Poor thing. Oh well, all in the name of fun.

So due to the stupid rain, we were released early. Woo hoo. That meant Danial, Ridha, Nic and I had to walk back to school in the rain. Ok, so we could have taken a bus. But we're all headstrong stubborn morons who chose to walk in the rain. In school, Danial kept scaring me and I got seriously seriously seriously pissed at him. I mean, once or twice is fine. But when I tell you to stop, please DAMN WELL stop it!

Oh yeah, in the bus, I managed to catch a glimpse of Hansen in a nice black shirt/vest thingy. If it wasn't sleeveless ( I detest sleeveless ), I'd really really like it. So anyways, I fall asleep on the bus ( as usual), barely manage to wake up in time for my stop, walk home in the rain. Once home, I bathed, ate dinner and trudged upstairs to just flop on my bed for about 1 minute.

Today was CIP [Scary music]. And boy, was it a big fat screwed-up flop. For one, it was at 7.30. Bloody hell, THAT"S TOO DAMN EARLY. Oh yes, it's not as if it BEGAN at 7.30. No, I had to wait a whole 45 mins to get my stupid little collection tin! 2nd thing that was screwed up was the pathetic amount of people who were from our school. 6 people - Nic, Adeeb, Charles, Kishen, some other dude and of course, me. 6 ...6 people.

Oh yes, once we actually reach our turn, the lady tells us that we're suppose to be at Tampines. Ok, I'd RATHER be at Tampines because at least, I know that Hansen, Benjamin and Si Cheng were doing their CIP there. But nope, we HAVE to meet at Somerset. Why? Because that's life screwing you over.

Ok so we get our tins. Big fat deal. We get assigned to Dhoby Ghaut. Ok, in my opinion, Dhoby Ghaut is one of the worst places for donations. It's crowded, hot and you have to FIGHT with so many other people. So, we ended up taking a train to Dhoby Ghaut. We reach there, and see OH NO SO MANY PEOPLE! Someone has the smart idea to walk back to Somerset. And we follow, seeing as we're all brainless cows! Good going Linus, you wasted 45 cents. Don't feel bad now, you'll waste more in time to come.

So we go about our flag day. Nic calls Herlene to come down and boy am I glad she did. I think if I didn't have her antics and screams, I'd go crazy...fine, crazier.

Nearing the end of flag day, we meet 2 girls from Singapore Chinese Girls' School. Ok, they started at the same place as us, got assigned to Dhoby Ghaut too. BUT, their tins feel like a brick's been put into them. Why? Because they went to Junction 8. Smart girls! Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah, because I thought we were suppose to stay at Dhoby Ghaut! So we go back to the lady and pass her the tins. She shakes the tin, looks at me and says "Not very good hor." Well duh! I was fighting with about 1 thousand other people to collect donations in the same damn place. If I had managed to get the tin half-full, it probably meant that I had to kill someone and steal the tin, take out the money and stuff it into mine. Wonderful, why wouldn't I do that just so that I can get some damn phonecard that I don't need ( cuz I have this wonderful invention called a HANDPHONE) and 5 or 6 CIP hours? Lemme see...Oh yeah, BECAUSE IT"S FREAKING STUPID!

Ok, now the good thing - I watched Ice Age 2. It's a pretty nice movie. The CG animations are breathtaking, seriously. It's quite slapstick in my opinion. I'm not sure why the 8 Days Critics give it 3 out of 5 stars, I'd have given it at least a 4. Oh sure, it had practically NO storyline, but most comedies don't really have a good solid storyline. Overall, it's a pretty nice film, go and watch it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. And if you are, I don't care.

Argh, I need to get Sanam's version of the KC-VS script. I'm getting worried about my acting in the collaboration. I just can't seem to get my pitch and tone right. Also, I noticed I've this annoying habit of going up up up and then down down down...And it tends to happen on the MOST crucial lines. Gah! I'll NEVER forgive myself if I screw up on the actual day. No one else seems to be having this problem. In fact, I feel like I'm the only one with a problem! ARGH!!!
