currently listening to: Friends [Houshin Engi]

it's another Saturday and here i am in tropica to print out some economics homework.

i went for the volunteer thingy again today and ended up with a really really bad case of stomachache that had me squatting in the toilet for 15 minutes while Michelle, Yokes and Hazel were 'talking bad' about me in the living room with my Aunt and Grandma.

we went for lunch at orchard and you have no idea how good an ordinary dish of omelette can taste so good when you are hungry after having emptied your waste materials until it overflowed in the toilet bowl and went down to the sewage. *bliss*

and i think the stomachache was the cause of consuming uncooked food the day before at the OG BBQ!! *curses*

speaking of the BBQ, it went quite well and we didn't play the so-called 'truth or dare' (YAY!!!) and ended up just eating and talking and eating and talking and playing card games. believe it or or not, we couldn't find transport back home until 11++pm.

Joanna: "let me call for a cab then we'll take it together to marine parade."
Operator: "the taxi will be arriving in... 7...2...9... minutes."
Us: "729 minutes!?!?!?!"
Xinyi: "umm.. let me just ask my father whether he can squeeze out time to bring us home."
Dad: "i'm doing some entertainment work now. but i'll call u a cab. wait for another 25 minutes k?"
Joanna: "ok, then let me cancel the cab."
Joanne(immediately after cab was cancelled): "oh i know!! it's 7 TO 9 minutes!!! not 729 minutes lah!!"
Us: "......."

curse that lousy machine-operated operator.

it was useless trying to call another cab too. Joanna tried a zillion times before we finally got through to call the "729" cab, and my father's friend was already on the way anyway. so patiently (almost-- we tried out best), we waited for another 25 minutes and finally took a cab home.

the 3 of us were completely exhausted on the way home. somehow, we could keep a conversation going though. i never thought that i would be able to converse as freely as i did with them yesterday. well, at least only with the 3 of them in the OG (plus Bei Qin, who was still bathing when we left the chalet -___-). i'm still so so so distant from my other OG mates. but it's ok, i don't mind the distance actually-- our personalities just clash (just look at truth or dare!!).

i have another BBQ this coming saturday. it's my classmate, Ming Hui's birthday party. i still haven't got a present for her though. maybe i should share the price of the gift with the rest of the class. and about the BBQ food... i'm a little unsure, especially after today's toilet experience.

and did i mention that i'm taking a cab to school every morning till Thursday? it's damn expensive, the normal taxi fare from my house to ACJC is around $14, and because the cab is BOOKED just for me, i have to pay another $5, so it is $19 altogether!!! god. $114 just for me to get to school. i am sooo NOT gonna go back to acjc after the first 3 months.

ok, time for history tutorial outlines (when i get back to Bedok Reservoir). tell you about my super-fierce-and-a-little-ah-lian-looking SEA history teacher next time-- all i can say is that i miss Mr Das. *sigh*
