PunkToPink + YOG Torch Relay!

Side note 1: My 250th post! Woots~
Side note 2: This is going to be a veeeeerrrrryyyyyy loooonnnnngggg post.

Today was a fruitful day (well, sort of).
But I think I should start from yesterday.
As always.
Haha!

Yesterday, Friday, 6 August 2010
As everyone knows, yesterday was our school's NDP parade and concert.
Since I was involved in the concert, I couldn't watch the parade.
So unfair!!
Gahh.
Oh wells.
Then it was the concert.
*screams in panic mode*
We weren't allowed to watch the concert either.
Eeyer, the NDP celebrations sucked cos there wasn't any celebration for us.
Anyway, I was in the CCA fashion parade.
Yes, finally can say!
Cos I didn't want to broadcast around.
Haha.
Well, it sucked.
My cca's costume was blah.
Not as nice as some other ccas.
No surprise that Art Club won the Clubs and Societies (what a joke, there are no more societies in Anderson anymore) segment.
So yeahh.
At least we got it over and done with (:
After that me, Qichao, SiokCheng and MiaoLing went to KFC to eat lunch! :D
(Oh yeah, forgot to post this on facebook. Sigh. Shall do it later.)
It was fun~~
SC brought us walk the long way -.-"
Still say she live in AMK pro de.
Qichao's way was shorter lor ._.
SC failed.
LOLS.
During the meal, SC hor, as always, finished her Pepsi very fast.
Qichao offered her his cos he said he 'couldn't drink so much'.
But typical SC refused.
They fought over it for the whole meal.
Sigh.
This is 1 part of our very stupid conversation after the meal.
MiaoLing: Where you live ah, Qichao?
Qichao: AMK.
ML: Serious?
Qichao: No.
Me: So where do you live then, Ah pek?
QC: AMK.
Me: Really?
QC: No, fake one.
*a few minutes go by*
SC: Ah pek ah, seriously where you live?
QC: Khatib.
SC: Really or fake?
QC: Fake.
(Then QC goes on to say he live in Yishun, then Sembawang, then Woodlands.
Or Woodlands then Sembawang.
I don't know, I don't live there.
But I reminded him that Admiralty comes first.
Epic fail lah.
Lazy to type so I wrote this instead.)
SC: Where you live lah!
QC: AMK.
SC: Really?
QC: Fake.
Me: Eh come on lah, seriously where??
QC: Anderson, I live in Anderson.
SC: Serious?
Me and QC (can predict alr): Fake.
._.
Conclusion?
No idea where QC lives.
After that QC brought me to the bus stop the shorter way.
During which we chatted, mostly about Cyber (or rather, the ppl in Cyber).
No, it wasn't dull.
We betted who was pwning CCA.
Each of us had 1 correct.
Hehe.
(I shall not say who, to 'protect' the individuals involved.)
CCA sucked too.
(Ehs, why I keep using the word suck?)
This year's NJRC research topic is too difficult.
Nobody got it.
Well, except for Bao's team.
And anyway, who's in the mood for cca during a rare half day of school?
(Except Kshitij and probably Png.)
Claudia and gang took off to Sentosa.
SC and ML went to library.
Heard YN (no relation with Cyber, but whatever) going to watch movie.
Most ppl missing with no reason.
Some just too lazy to go to CCA.
Sigh.
Anyway, since it's over, I shall not harp on it.
Finally went home at about 6.
(4h cca! WTH! Mr Nathan!!!!)
Here's the interesting part.
Went home to bath, then it was BBQ @ Costa Sands Resort (East Coast).
XDDDD
Food was yummy!
Fave: Bacon-wrapped golden mushroom (direct translation), mushroom tart? (only way to describe it), BBQ corn, BBQ chicken wings
Can't wait for tmr's BBQ!
(Yes, I get to go 2. Envious? Haha.)
Then I chatted with jies and kors.
Also played on Jess Jie's iPhone.
Owned Bejeweled, Tap Tap and Wheel of Fortune. XD
In the end I stayed over at the resort~~
Went to bed at about 2.30am or so.
Woots~
I shall start my recounting of my adventures today now!

Today, Saturday, 7 August 2010
Woke up at about 5+ cos nanny was going to watch the sunrise.
Actually I wanted to go along but too lazy to get up :P
But anyway I'm kinda glad I didn't go, cos it was hazy.
Hehe.
Woke up again at 8 or so.
Too cold (aircon).
Went to the toilet, then back to sleep XD
Woke up again at 9.
Haha.
Breakfast was sandwiches~
Tuna rocks.
Also had half-boiled egg XD
Played a little while of Bejeweled (again).
Then it was home time cos I planned to go PunkToPink and the YOG Torch Relay.
Went to nanny's house to grab stuff like suitable clothes and my camera.
Then went home to bath and change clothes.
Took 72 to Yio Chu Kang interchange, then MRT to Somerset.
(PunkToPink was held at *SCAPE Youth Park, near Somerset MRT.)
Met Choon Guan on 72, stop after Hougang Point.
(Choon Guan's a junior from both Xinmin and Anderson. Too bad he doesn't remember me.)
Anyway.
After alighting at the MRT station, I exited first since CG (LOL, not centre of gravity!) went to consult the signboard.
Turns out he didn't know how to get to *SCAPE, since he got there way later than me.
Oh well, he could have asked for help.
As I exited the MRT station, I met Qinglin.
(Oh yeah, both QL and CG wore pink clothes. HAHA.)
QL's another 1 who doesn't know how to get there.
Ppl, there's something called Internet.
U guys could have gone and checked for directions on how to get there.
-.-"
So I brought him to the *SCAPE park.
That ungrateful guy didn't even thank me.
Tsk.
I shouldn't help him next time.
After I reached there, the first thing I saw was my senior eating shaved ice.
She gave me some (I was only kidding, but she didn't care), and it was heavenly~~
Then I saw SK and Uma there.
They, along with Santhini and Hasif later, asked me why I came.
Well, here's the reasons (again):
1) Support my senior(s) setting up stalls there for cip.
2) Wanted to do something for charity (not that I haven't done so already).
3) Heard it was fun and wanted to join in.
Well, P2P failed.
The stalls there aren't really interesting.
Food was okay (shaved ice was great).
Drink was expensive so I didn't buy.
Games was a little lame.
I only liked the buy-a-ribbon-for-$2-and-get-1-free-Teenage-mag thingy.
So I bought (or spent $ on):
-A small plate of fried rice (80 cents)
-A tub of chocolate shaved ice with choc syrup and oreo topping ($3.50)
-A ball game (50 cents)
-A pink ribbon because I wanted the mag even though I already had 1 ribbon ($2)
Total: $6.80
The concert was alright (but if they could hire a medium-popular musician(s) it would have been better. The concert consisted of local -not so popular- bands, teachers and students singing, which probably didn't appeal to the public).
I didn't know Mr Fadzly could sing (until today).
Def have to pester him during the next Geog lesson XD
Afiq is quite a good singer too.
Betcha Uma was smitten XDD
(I have a short clip of him singing too, may upload on facebook.)
I left about 1 hour later cos I had the YOG thingy.

YOG! :D
Lots of AJC-ians came as spectators.
I think they had CIP like us.
They had A LOT more ppl than us.
Might as well just let them come and we can skip it.
They did all the cheering.
But the thing is, they were cheering at OUR school.
I know we both are Andersonians in a technical way, but it's not like our schools are affliated.
Lots of ppl felt that they invaded our school.
Haha.
Aiyo, ask us come at 4, the briefing was like at 4.30.
Spent 1/2 hr waiting.
The whole thing 5+ then start lor.
Quite waste time leh.
But it was def worth it.
Lots of police cars came by.
Oh yeah, 1 epic event:
2 PEOPLE WERE JAYWALKING IN FRONT OF A POLICE CAR.
How epic is that?!
Somehow, they didn't get prosecuted.
(Perhaps it's because they were auxiliary police.)
Anyway.
A few YOG buses came by before the 2 open-top buses came.
1st open-top bus was of Coca-Cola.
(Should be a main sponsor.)
As the bus came by, spectators got free coke XD
CIP points for easy event + free coke = best CIP event ever
(Also, it wasn't sunny, so we didn't sweat, which was even better.)
Oh yes, they also gave out something that you can blow into, like those kind of party thingy.
It was LOUD.
The sponsor for the 2nd open-top bus was Samsung, and it was blue compared to Coke's red bus.
And no, they didn't give free Samsung phones.
Finally, FINALLY, the torch came.
Woots!!!
Although we didn't recognise the runners.
Hey, I thought it was supposed to be Sean and Hidhir (not sure spelling)?
Don't think those ppl were replacements, didn't remember seeing them around.
No offense ppl, but I think Sean shouldn't be a runner.
He's a sec 1, they should find someone with more experience.
Like Jasper (of Wushu too, but a sec 3).
Okay, maybe a part of me just wants to see his (handsome) face.
LOL.
Jk lah.
But honestly, it shouldn't be Sean.
Hidhir is fine.
Oh well.
It has already happened, so I shan't care anymore.
Anyway.
The cheering was loud during the runners.
Like duh!
(And yes, I did take a video of the relay, which I'll upload on facebook.)
After the relay, the AJC-ians blew the loud thingy together.
It sounded like a choir of geese.
Noisy.
Then, we were dismissed at 6.
The whole thing dragged on longer than expected.
Like, an hour later.
I hope we can 2 hours' CIP points.
XD
We should, actually.
They wasted our time.
Thanks, SC for giving me your coke!
Muacks~
Okay ppl, so that's it (:
Stay tuned for more happenings (which I hope soon!)~~
.// &&CALZ
P.S. Today's my mum's birthday, let's wish her a happy birthday!
Love ya, Mum, happy birthday!
And yes, in the end, I do appreciate what you've done for me.
In the end, we all understand.
Thanks for being my mum (:
