so confused!
quote from nico
predicting that kueh *censored* will scold us is like predicting that you'll have a birthday next year
hahah. thats so true.
i nearly forgot to blog about the prgs golf tournament. bad day to skip lessons really. we missed the english assignment and bio test. but helping out at the tournament was definitely worth having to take tests during recess.
we started by sticking nametags onto everyone's golf bag. it was quite a funny sight. cos there were four of us, at least one parent and like five other men all doing the same thing. someone said that it looked like we were having some kind of party there. but with so many people around it was VERY efficient. mrs tan [the principal] came along and said that we're so efficient because germy sees at a different eye-level. its a COMPLIMENT, germaine! the orangemen were really funny! they were trying to convince us that the malay guy was crazy. and that he used to be from woodbridge and has papers to prove that. haha so cute.
after that we went for lunch. there were four sides to the buffet table. one side for coffee and tea. one side for chicken rice, beehoon and soup. the other side for chicken rice, beehoon and soup. and the last side for chicken rice, beehoon and soup. and by the time we got there, EVERYTHING was gone except for ABIT of food on one side of the table. there was more chicken skin than meat left. but hungry people eat anything. jean and alicia said that the soup was 'very very nice' and it took me so long to get them to realise that it tasted like any other msg-filled soup you get in the market. it doesnt taste like melon and rice wine! its just monosodium glutamate [alicia seemed to like that word alot]! the soup was icky. so germaine helped me finish my soup. in three seconds. without a spoon. never underestimate small people! and they were trying to show me the 'right' way to eat chicken. which means to pick up the entire piece with your fingers and shove it into your mouth. hey! whats wrong with cutting it up into nice small pieces? they call them bite-sized for a reason!
after our very long lunch, we helped them put ribbons onto the prizes. and transported all the prizes to the restaurant [with long breaks in between. cos the uncle had to load the prizes onto his nice cart thingo and drive it to the restaurant. alot of times]. the restaurant was strategically placed such that we have to climb up spiral stairs to get there. it was like having PE. but we had nice chats while waiting for the uncle to come with more prizes. and decided that we should have a golf sleepover. at germy's 9000+ square feet house with 68 koi! after that we distributed the goodie bags and just slacked around.
i made a NICE raffia bracelet. and nobody wanted to wear it okay! haha. hmph! i think prgs was trying to make us all grow fat. they gave us mango pudding and sandwiches later. i was teaching new words.
the mango pudding is really MANGOFIEDwhich basically means that it tasted more like mango than pudding.
then we slacked around abit. went to bathe. came back up. and slacked around somemore and talked alot of crap all the way till dinner. oh and we went around stuffing mushrooms into everyone's goodie bag. its such a funny thing to give people.
dinner seemed more like a sec 2 batch dinner. nicole was our VLP [very late person]. dinner was actually quite blah until we had to sell the raffle tickets. nicole and i had a hard time trying to sell them cos we're so NICE that we don't coerce them into buying tickets. i wonder what underhand methods jean and jukhuan used. they sold so many! some tables were very dao. but mrs tan's husband praised us for being hardworking! this other guy held this long conversation with us. about how classchairs should whip their classmates and that my class has a very unlucky no. [13, that is] and this other guy bought tickets from us cos it was this birthday. and he said that he better win. and he did! yay! and the weirdest was this drunk man who bought 4 tickets. and made me call up his daughter to convince her to play golf in return. which was really weird...i was laughing throughout the whole phonecall. he didnt seem so red from all the alcohol to me. haha maybe cos he was wearing a red shirt.
by the end of raffle-ticket-selling, our jaws were so painful from smiling. we felt like the plastic smiles permanently plastered onto our faces would fall off.
oh yes. we all gave germaine the 'step 4' milk formula that we got in our goodie bags. so that she can grow X) its for ages 3 and up!
germy and i are two super-charged magnets. WE'RE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER!
then afterwards more stuff that im too lazy to blog about happened. and we went home.
i'm determined to blog something meaningful. or understandable at least. ive been typing so much crap into the computer lately.
[the greenman shoved our ducks and squirrels and our darling paper steamboat-cum-dustbin into the changing cupboard anyway]
see. now when i decide to blog about something meaningful my mind goes blank. [i'm trying to blog and study for tingxie at the same time]
i try to do everything at the same time. maybe thats why i'm so slow at doing everything. like this morning i was annotating Romeo and Juliet while eating breakfast in the car. but i do everything at the same time only because there are just too many things to do.
im confuseddddd!
and my mom has been really weird lately. she'll take time off every single day to lecture me and to remind me how much i suck. but she's always so nice to me for the rest of the day. i think she's suffering from myap syndrome. i better be nice then i can go out this sunday. but its really depressing. last night i isolated myself from the rest of the house [and the evil tv] by doing hw in the attic. and i fell asleep 4 times trying to finish all of it.
and in the end i didnt
but i was trying to at least. and my mom scolded me for not finishing it and being so tired. as if i like being tired and having an endless pile of hw. i actually did my hw straight after dinner and didnt watch tv the whole day. i even tried to drink something so that i wont fall asleep. and she scolds me. usually i go to the living room where there's lots of noise so i wont fall asleep. and she scolds me for that too.
i'm so confuseddd.
why is everyone trying to confuse me?
-nico rushes sam-o to post her entry-
i set goals for myself nearly every other day. i tell myself to wake up and get started on clearing all that hw. i tell myself to quit slacking and to concentrate on getting good grades. i tell myself so many things. but it never works. i dunno what to do to get my results back on track. i think i'm going to die from confusion.
even i confuse myself.
i think i think too much.
oh wait. let me go and think about that.
