Recounting this 2 days.
Yesterday, Monday, 18 October 2010
Went to Raffles Town Club (:
And I actually swam for 2 hours!
Haven't swum in like a few years...
Can't remember when the last time was.
Anyway.
Saw this rather cute guy at the pool... (Haha, and I know this sounds so cliche.)
But I'm not that good a swimmer...
And he's a darn good one.
So I was pretty paiseh...
Since there weren't much people around, it was even worse...
And he was with 2 girls -.-"
Oh well.
After the swim of course I went bathing.
The toilet's so cold.
Who the heck puts aircon in toilets where people bath?!
Usually it's fine, but it's a whole other thing when it comes to bathing.
Ahhhh, so cooooold.
Thank goodness there was water heater.
Or I would have frozen to death.
Now I see the point of putting a sauna in the toilet.
(Yup, a sauna in the toilet. You saw right.)
Really regret not sauna-ing.
Ahhhh.
I changed into a dress (yep.) with a jacket... courtesy of my mum.
And no, there's no photo.
I was a little worried that the dress would be too short (I think it was halfway up my upper thighs) for the club.
But thank goodness, it wasn't.
Although the club was cooold too.
So I was like an ice block yesterday...
I usually ain't that cold.
Went to grab a bite at the Cafe since dinner hadn't officially started...
And the meal, consisting of a sandwich and coffee (my dad, not me), cost like $12.
That's one 'bite'.
So you can imagine how much the dinner cost...
After the bite, I went to the arcade (yep, they have arcade) with my dad.
Played games such as:
- Those kind of games where you press the buttons when the note reaches the line.
- Para Para Dance. (Yup, a game I wouldn't normally play but since nobody was there...)
- Puzzle Bobble. (I'm such a youth.)
- Photo Hunt. (All-time favourite.)
- Time Crisis 4. (Surprise, surprise, I do play violent games.)
- Daytona and Initial D. (I love racing games. Another surprise.)
Hahaha.
Dinner-ed at about 7.
Went to the Miyabi Japanese Restaurant. (Yup, it's in the club.)
I ordered this set with sashimi and teppanyaki~~
Omigod, I LOVE salmon sashimi~
The steamed egg (chawanmushi) was awesome. (You rarely eat steamed eggs with prawns in them, do you?)
The scallops were so nice.
I love scallops too.
Oh yeah, there were cooked salmon as well.
I love both raw and cooked salmon, because both are equally amazing!
My dad ordered udon while my mum went for a set like me, although hers were the seafood set I think.
All were ah-mazing.
Thus the price...
A whopping $87.
I sure know how to live my life.
But it was an awesome meal.
Definitely one of the best Japanese food I've ever eaten.
We left after our meal... no idea what time.
8+pm?
Although it was a shame I couldn't go bowling...
They have bowling (what you call that? Areas? Courts?) in the club too.
Even ACS(I) had a bowling tournament there.
Rich lah.
Although thinking about it, wouldn't it be awesome if our Sec4 Graduating Ball was held at the ballroom there?
It sure would~~
Haha.

Today, Tuesday, 19 October 2010
Back to school once again.
To be honest, I DIDN'T want to go back.
I knew some people wanted to.
But...
I wasn't done doing everything I wanted to do (despite completing my to-do list).
And I knew going back to school would reduce the amount of time I have to do these things.
Oh wells.
Today is a SHITTY day.
First I found out I was chosen to take part in an international survey.
Translation: Taking 2 tests, 1 maths 1 science, immediately after assembly.
What a way to start post-exam activities.
Science: A few difficult ones, not quite confident about it.
Maths: Freaking easy. WTH.
Then we had to do a questionnaire.
I didn't really see the point in some of the questions.
Why would they want to know what gender I am and which month I was born in??
And whether I have a PlayStation?
Although I feel that I'm a pretty privileged kid...
Ticked almost everything in that list.
Here's what I remember from the what-do-you-have list.
- Computer
- Internet access
- Own room (why do they care??)
- Own study table.
- Own books. (Why do they care???)
- Own handphone.
- Own entertainment device, eg. music/dvd player, ipod.
- Own gaming device, eg. PlayStation, Nintendo.
- Maid.
I ticked all of the above... except maid.
That's why I feel that I'm lucky.
After the questionnaire, we went for a rushed 15-minute recess.
WTH, make us do the tests, then give us such a short recess.
No extensions. -.-"
And guess what was after the tests?
ANOTHER maths test.
WTH!!!!
What kind of post-activities is this man?!
(Oh yeah, for those who did not go for the tests, since only selected people needed to go, they went out to interview people and wrote transcript, and they could slack. IN THE COM LAB.)
The maths test had 33 questions, 2 hours, and no calculator. At all.
Said it was for a research, and selected Anderson because we are so-called a good school.
*laughs*
Lots of people didn't finish the paper, and anyhow did the paper.
I mean, it's after our exams...
Who is in the mood to do more tests?!
I gave up like 1.5 hours after we first started.
Quite late already, but whatever.
Sigh...
Other people were learning how to rollerblade while we were doing tests.
Not fair.
Today has been a test day for me.
Ahhhhhhh.
Grrrrrrr.
Attended briefing for cip this sat.
Sianz.
What a sucky cip.
Why does our school come up with such kinds of cip?
This sat: Educate Punggol South residents on the demerits of littering and promote Clean and Green week.
I am not kidding.
And it's DOOR-TO-DOOR.
Oh, joy.
One of the worst post-activities I've ever had.
On the bright side: 7 days more to holiday!
Haha.
Well, signing off!
