[Outside a shop]
Yang En - "Eh I like that shirt" [Picks up a damn sexy green shirt]
Vincent - "Hey, Linus said that shirt is damn nice..."
Me - "See, Yang En knows style. Oh my god Yang En you have a sense of fashion?"
Yang En - [Sad face]

Gahaha. I mean =) ( This is for you Cassii! )

[There are pictures in this post! Yes, that's right, Linus will be posting pictures. Now clean up whatever food/blood you spat out in shock and read on]

Today was wonderful wonderful wonderful. Swimming in the morning was damn damn nice lor.

Woke up at 6.30 and tossed and turned in bed. Still jet-lagged I think, although a portion of it is due to sheer excitement I suppose. Finally got up at 7.30 to go and bathe, pack my stuff and eat. Then went to meet Wei Liang at his house and go to Tampines.

Wei Liang was doing Chemistry on the bus. Surprise. I wanted to take a photo but...

Found out at the bus terminal that Vincent wouldn't be joining us. Emersius wore jeans and shoes, the only one there wearing long pants and shoes. Go him!

Changing at the locker room was damn funny sia. Everyone was like waiting for Emersius to come out. And then I kept trying to look away from Wee Bian's skimpy trunks. Wei Liang's too. Skimpy skimpee skimpie. Pie.

And everyone there had like a six-pack lor. Or maybe they're just damn skinny. Yang En's abs were super visible lor. But they're not hard, as I found out after accidentally punching him while turning around. Hey, he was standing behind me ok!

The lockers were a hassle. Wee Bian was like complaining we'd spend the entire day there. "Lesson 1, putting stuff in the lockers." It's really super ma-fan with only one machine there. I can just imagine the queues on busier days. Must be like hell.

Shared a locker with Chen Ee. Emersius, Yang En and Wee Bian managed to stuff their bags into one. I don't know how, Chen Ee's and mine (including footwear) were already stuffed to the max. Emersius had to stuff his shoes under the lockers though =)

Spent most of the time in the 1.4M pool. My legs ache now, must have over-strained myself. This just shows how horribly unfit I am. Dead twigs possess more agility than my legs now ok...

Oh, Yang En tagged on my blog. Surprise.

Speaking of which, I guess Yang En, Emersius and I really bonded a lot today. Especially Yang En and I. Talked a lot with him, and about him as well. He's really such a nice guy lor, I feel so ashamed and flawed next to him. Emersius was blurer than usual today. But I think the three of us have really gotten to know each other a lot more today. And I'm glad for that =)

My wonderful friends bring overwhelming emotions of gratitude to God for them in my life. Really, it does. I mean, who can really say that have friends that stick by you through thick and thin, seeing and helping with your flaws and strengths. Who are so loyal to you even through your incessant and unnecessary bitchfits.

Not many, I'd say. And again, that's why I feel so blessed to have these guys. And I love them, really I love them as brothers. Can I just say again how much these guys rock my VS socks?

Thanks

Yang En
Alphonsus
Emersius
Vincent
Wee Bian
Jing Qun
Bryan

Just for being who you guys are.

Anyway..

The baby pool was fun! Sliding down face-first was amazingly exciting. Especially when Emersius slid down and stopped halfway. Yang En came down and practically slammed into Emersius. Then Jing Qun came flying down, crashed into them and then went past them and continued into the water. Wee Bian and I were like just doubled over laughing and laughing as Yang En and Emersius untangled themselves.

Unfortunately, the lifeguard didn't like that. Neither did he like it when I tried to lift Yang En on my shoulders. But then again Yang En almost drowned me anyway =(

Me, Jing Qun, Chen Ee and Emersius made a foray into the mysterious depths of the 1.8m pool. Which turned out a LOT more fun anyway. It was warm like hell ( no pun intended ) and heck of a lot deeper ( .4m deeper and guess how I know ) Swam back and forth before rejoining Yang En, Wei Liang and Wee Bian back in the ~~babykiddy~~ 1.4m pool. Splashed around a lot more.

Somersaulting in the water was fun. Forward flip was easy, finally managed to do a backward flip. Then during a flip, both my legs cramped up. I was screaming bloody murder in the water. I was literally shouting in the water. They saw lots of bubbles I guess.

Couldn't walk or swim properly after that for a while.

There was a pleasant spatter of rain halfway and it was really enjoyable. The cooling splatter of droplets against my skin was deliciously comfortable =)

We went to the baby pool slides then. The mushroom waterfall and plain ol' massaging waterfall were reminders of youthful(ler) days spent swimming in the pool near my house. Ahhh, memories.

The 1.8m'ers went back to the 1.8m pool after that, managing to drag Yang En with us. Taught Yang En how to tread water which he learnt surprisingly quickly. Then again Yang En is damn smart so it's actually not a surprise after all. =)

Wei Liang and Wee Bian finally ~~deigned~~decided to join us. Wei Liang has learnt to (sort of) tread water. Wee Bian, I dunno. Like half-drowning half-erotic-dance when treading water. I was giggling too much.

And I prefer swimming with spectacles. It's just a lot clearer, and I can see decently underwater anyway. Goggles hurt my eyes too, I don't know why.

Went back to 1.2m pool for the last time to splash around. Swam under Yang En who was initially absolutely petrified that I would jack him. I promised I wouldn't. But I SWEAR it really was an accident ( i'm serious ) that when I flipped around to swim back, I accidentally kicked him. It was an accident, really! But Yang En didn't look like he believed me.

But I could have been mistaken. His face was, after all, more or less grimacing and he had been doubled over... Maybe I mistook an expression of happiness and bliss for one that said ( and he verbally reconfirmed ) "I'm going to stab you Linus!"

Heavy rain set in then, and we decided that it was time to go anyway.

Yang En's locker refused to open. Poor boy was shivering like crazy, so I lent him my (pitifully small) towel. See I'm nice. After about 7 attempts, the stupid locker finally opened and Yang En was practically blue by that time ( and still shivering ). Funny, because I didn't feel cold at all. Must be because I spend a lot of time with Alphonsus =3

Remembered to snap shots for the planned CO Memories Montage ( I just came up with that see how I burst with creativity xD ). Jing Qun and Wei Liang were already bathing though, so I didn't manage to get a full group shot.

Come to think of it, I didn't get a group shot of the rest anyway. Just a couple of me and Yang En. Me, Yang En and Emersius. Yang En and Emersius. And a couple of Wei Liang and Wee Bian. Pics later at the end of the entry.

Went to eat lunch at S-11. The so-endorsed-by-Wee-Bian chicken rice was ok lah. Nothing fantastic or special really. But it was nice. Was feeling super tired then though, exhausted from the (relatively ) long swimming and the chlorine was making my eyes feel super heavy and pseudo-melting-botox.

"Shopped" at Century Square. Original plan was for Emersius, Yang En and I to go IPZon'ing. Turns out the rest followed us ( joined by Vincent ) to go because of a planned Dota match later.

The IPZone turned out to be inside Samuel and Kevin which I vehemently hate. Except for the green shirt ( see top quote ) which actually looked half-decent. Vincent likes this wonderfully fugly t-shirt that everyone else hates. I'm talking a black polo with a dark-blue polo. Looks like cat vomit if you ask me.

The ladies' selection was a lot nicer though. Wee Bian kept glancing at the frocks/lingerie.

Window-shopped at Isetan. We rediscovered the inner kid at the toys section. The "fishing" was especially fun. "My First Laptop" scared me though since all that happened when I pressed the keys was to make some obviously-mutilated cat pop out and regurgitate pre-taped messages of love and joy. I ran away, truly fearful.

AMBLED off with Yang En to look at wallets and find for him his ideal bermudas. The first was accomplished, the second not. Talked a lot with Yang En then about school, CO and just life in general.

Saw Maxicheebong there as well. Dunno if he saw me, but I decided to ignore him and just continue.

Emersius tried out a fugly pair of goggles that made him look like a frog. See what one wrong accessory can do? From Ka-Wa-ii to Please-Shoot-Me in about 3 seconds. Amazazing.

Wei Liang and Wee Bian left to go Potato's house to plan a birthday party/prezzie. Yang En then realized the absence of his shoe bag and a panicked walk back to S-11 followed. Thank God he found his shoe bag with the JOHNSON'Ss inside and the expensive face wash which is not working.

Bussed with them to Parkway to play Dota with Chen Ee, Vincent, Jing Qun and Emersius. All of them knocked out on the bus except Yang En. I wanted to sleep, but couldn't anyway. Talked a bit more with Yang En before he dropped off at his stop and went home. The rest of us proceeded to Parkway to see a new LAN shop (which was close and bore an extremely confusing sign ), then went Katong.

Played 3 matches. Verdict?

Must keep an eye on Chen Ee
Vincent absolutely sucks at Dota.
Emersius squeals. A lot.

Played for 3 hours, until 6.30 before we actually noticed. Last match was pretty hectic, at first going mine and Emersius' way before Chen Ee got a bit too powerful and started owning. Then rushed back home and collapsed, exhausted on sofa. I wanna eat Nata De Coco.

Oh well, got a "day off" tomorrow. Going to sleep my heart out, and hopefully do homework. I need to do it, really. Gah, cannot procrastinate.

And good luck Cassii for your chemistry test =)

Ok, now for piccies.

Ugh, hasn't finished uploading the pics yet.

*wanders off to watch Youtube videos*

[1/2 hour later]

Finally!
