Revival
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Hey all! As some people might already know, I said I was gonna revive this blog after promos. It has been delayed until now because I have been busy with all the outing and stuff, and I know that people too, will be busy with their post-promos activities, and wouldn't have time to read a blog. Anyway, I try to make an effort to keep my blog updated partly for myself. I wanna keep it like a diary. Sometimes, I go back and read through my old posts and get reminded of the fun I used to have, so they'll never be forgotten.
Ironically, I haven't been blogging for so long. It'll be a lie if I were to say that I wanted to concentrate on my studies, as my CT results prove otherwise. But I've got to admit, JC life is so different from Secondary and Primary school life, and there's really much adaptation to do. For me, it hasn't really been a smooth sailing one. At the beginning of the year, Brian Lim and I wanted to set up cuesports as a CCA. I naively thought that it would all go well, thus I did not go for any other CCA trials.
However, it struck me quite hard when it got rejected, and I started to go for some CCA trials such as Street Dance, Interact Club etc. All of which I got rejected, might be due to priority given to JAE students, might be due to lesser spaces left after first trials, or maybe I simply just suck. Not to mention i was one of the directors in Interact Club back in RI. I was then given the opportunity to be the Overall IC of MR house CIP, together with Jasselyn. It was one hell of an experience. It really allowed me to learn more about myself. Areas which I excel at, and area which I should simply stay away from. Few weeks later came the interviews for MR House Comm. I thought I'd give it a shot since there'd be nothing to lose, and I was already starting to feel the house spirit after MR House CIP. My name didn't appear on the list. It blew what remained of my
self-confidence.
Pathetically, in the attempt to look on the brighter side of stuff, I told myself that I have more time to study! But knowing myself, Pool would take priority over books any day. Hence, CTs weren't too smooth sailing either. I told myself I needed to focus, especially for promos. I needed more self-worth. I started my promos revision early, and the pace was just right. However, I am not sure if it backfired when I didn't really study much during the days of the exams itself. Oh well, for now I guess I'll just immerse myself in the plethora of enjoyment activities and outings for relaxation after all that shit that I have gone through this year, and maybe reward myself for the effort I've put in for promos:)
Basically, like everyone else, I have been going out almost everyday after promos. Its been more than a week now, and this failing memory of mind forbids me to remember exactly the dates or order of which they happened. Thus, I SHALL DO IT MY WAY;)

okay lah, at least i remembered that on the last day of promos, Beck, Sumo, Shawn, Rama and I 10S06B pool club, went to Toa Payoh Snookerzone for pool. Brian Lim came along:D raced Beck to a race to 10, and the score was 10-0. Beck won. no im serious. tsk, im not lying. really lah. oei bluff you for what? aiyah thanks for the confidence lah but this time really lost. ... really lah.. he was damn good.. tsk! why dont you believe me! zzz he was good.. maybe i was off form.. IM TELLING THE TRUTH! dont believe ask sumo! k lah just kidding:D went on to race sumo to 5 with a scoreline of 5-1. thought i might have won i have lost my dignity. LOL just kidding just say for fun cuz it sounds damn retarded. but i kinda lost touch after abstaining from pool for like a month. cueing was all over the place, stance felt weird.
AFTER THAT WE WENT FOR ORH-SOME-ORH LUAK AT NEWTON<333 thanks to Marcus Ng, the ugliest siodi, I have been having a permanent craving for orh luak. In fact I have been eating it everyday for the past 3 weeks without fail. Okay actually i missed one day because the meals i had that day didnt allow me to eat it. However, i made it up with some days having two servings of orh luak XD Beck spotted Asahi, some jap beer. So Beck, Sumo and I shared a 2 litre canister of Asahi, while Shawn, being the manlier guy of the bunch, decided that he would take mineral water. I actually got really woozy after 2 glasses of Asahi, which was bullshit as im a hard liquor drinker. Maybe its the malt. Being drunk makes one much more easily irritable.
We were supposed to head to clarke quay after that, but sumo wanted to go home to bathe first.
At his house, he told his mum he was gonna go to clarke quay. His mum's response was "go clarke quay for what? later get raped by girls" we LOL-ed so hard. Upon reaching clarke quay, we met Imran, which was not much of a surprise. Then we met up with Brian and Sujin at Macs. Had supper and a little chat before heading for Brian's estate. Dont ask me why we went all the way to clarke quay to go Macs lol.
We went there by cab
Cab 1: Brian, Beck and I
Cab 2: Sumo + Sujin = Su(mo+jin)
Sialahh no wonder they say my math pro On the way there, the 3 of us in Cab 1 were sharing mad jokes, laughing like genuine drunkards. God knew what happened in Cab 2. At Brian's place, we drank and played blackjack. This is the part where you forget everything that has happened, and wake up the next morning feeling shitty.
I was awoken by a phone call. A phone call I have ever so anticipated to receive. Sujin had gone home by then, as she couldnt stay overnight like any other normal girl. Sumo went down to the punching bags to relieve some angst, while Beck and Brian lay there as good as dead. I joined sumo downstairs, and Brian's mum whos really nice bought us break fast. MacDonalds buffet style. buy all spam on the table take what you want. I laikke(but i bet sumo laikked it more)
After breakfast, i met up with peter to play pool. Obviously i had a mad hangover, and played like shit. Saw this 2 other guys at another table, and remember what i said about being easily irritable? their faced irritated me so i went to ask them for a doubles game loser punch. Almost lost terribly cuz of my bad bad form which i either fouled or miss all the time. Thankfully we still won at the end cuz peter's pool is godlike.
Alright, a break for now before i work on my next post about post-promos activities :D
