House committee 06

Being the nocturnally active person that I am, I shall blog at 1.00 in the morning because I can’t sleep. Why? Because I just came across a Britney spears video and the haunting image of her just keeps me awake, so that I won’t have nightmares or something.

Anyway, house committee camp is over and done with. It was not as fun as I anticipated, maybe because I was expecting more from this year than last year. But hey, no complaints from me, it was still fun to go to.

Dragged my sorry ass to school in the morning, being the good boy that I am, and I was on time okay! Everyone else was late and I just sat around with a bunch of nominees, Jenn Haur and Jac. Things were pretty quiet for a while, because we were yet to be acquainted. Haha, but soon enough, when everybody had arrived and all the admin stuff had been settled, we moved to the space outside the performance theatre for a round of ice breakers.

I can’t believe the slow reaction that I posses, leading to a penalty of doing the mash potato with Li Qin. I just discovered some hidden flaw. Oo. Haha, at least it wouldn’t be as weird since she is like my EDS dance senior and all. Thankfully, I got the hang of the bang game quite fast and managed to evade the next round of penalties. It only took us about two rounds of ice breakers before we were well acquainted enough to break off to our individual houses to have a round of introduction. There were cheers to come up with and to be presented. I think we had a good cheer going, probably just lacked the practice in carrying it out. Haha, in the end Pegasus and Lynx won the cheer “competition” and had to perform it in front of the “three houses” while being water bombed at the same time.

There was some sort of weird captain’s ball cum dodge ball game merged into one that we had to play. Oh but before that, people of Lynx and Draco went to take photos for this year’s house nominee’s badge. So exciting! The caplets didn’t get one last year so I requested for one this year since CT and SC ip get badges too. As usual, crazy poses had to be thought of and I decided to go with the America’s next top model pose with a Toyota nissan sunny. Hopefully I got the brand of the car right. ><

I stood in the sun for a while, subsequent to getting dumped with buckets of water by Jia ying and Yue woon, to dry off since I had to go to some SHSS friendly match later in the afternoon. Met Wai Kin at the bus stop and went with him and some others to tampinese to take a bus together. The match was an interesting one, one with a lot to learn from I guess. The opponent was indeed damn bloody strong but again, what Mr. Chew said is correct, it’s not the end result that is important, but the lessons that you take away. Of course, I didn’t take away anything, haha, but it must have been an experience for the main team.

Devoured down a quick lunch at tampinese mall before taking a bus back to school to re join the house committee people. They had just come back from the beach with dubious looking blobs of brown stuff all over them. It turned out to be peanut butter, and it was everywhere. On people’s hair, shirts, faces and other places I’d rather not find out. Haha. We had dinner by the fountain at parkway and I didn’t really eat much, except a hot fudge sundae, because I just had lunch before I went back to school. The juniors, ip1s, and I were basically just bitching about teachers over dinner. HAH! It’s unanimous, no one likes Mr. Lee.

Some shopping at giant for last minute hunger pangs at night before we set back for school. There was a lot of slacking done in the canteen and at the grandstand. Haha, the super women of house committee went to dunk Andy at the fountain. The most hilarious part was that it wasn’t even his birthday and they were singing happy birthday while carrying him to be dunked. Lol.

Ghost stories were shared at the grandstand before we proceeded to watch a horror movie at T16. The movie was stupidly boring. I fell asleep at some point of time and woke up when the ghost was dancing toward some guy. -.-‘’

The movie was stopped halfway and Jia Ying and I got the year ones together for the night walk. Boy was it a task to get them settled down man, and the worse best part was that they were still chatting away when Jia Ying was giving instructions. Sigh. It was almost an hour later when everyone had completed their walk and we could finally clean up. There were a few more video screening before I just plopped off to sleep.

Woke up the next day at nine in the morning and went to wash up at the canteen toilet. I think I gobbled down like 6-7 slices of bread because I was starving. How stupid of me not to buy anything when I clearly skipped dinner. I could have just slapped myself. Captain’s ball and floor ball were played before it was house stall and den clean up. I was with Clarissa and Emily cleaning the mat in the house den. The thing was effing dirty and it was extremely hard to clean! I switched with some year one after going through like half the stack, my fingers gone and in place of them were white prunes.

It was more lazing around after that before I left with the caplets for parkway. We were actually suppose to go to the food court to meet some of the others who were already there, but I decided not too because it was hot and crowded. So I went with Althea, Bernice and Cynthia to parkway food court. We ate, talked and went back to school to wait for Althea’s mom to send us home. Once I got home, I showered and slept immediately without even eating. Dead beat I tell you. I slept at five in the evening for crying out loud.

I woke up the next day at 6.00 in the morning and was rushing around getting ready to go for some field trip that my elective had. I was late, as usual and had to take a cab with YY to waterloo, Sri Krishnan temple. The day was totally wasted in my opinion, I had better things to do than go to temples and synagogues and what nots. The choice of elective was a bad one for me, shucks. I thought it would just be on going debate about religion, but I mis interpreted pluralistic wrongly. Damn, I know I’m stupid.

In my opinion, the tour guide talked too much. Argh, I was losing my patience while she was talking and I could consciously feel my fist clenching. I was not in a good mood. When everything was finally over, we went to Toa Payoh bus interchange and had Long Johns for lunch. Not a big fan of the place, but I can live with it. We were basically bitching the whole way through lunch. Die, I developing a lot of bad karma for bitching so much the past few days. Haha. So when Yi Rui suggested going to Swenson for ice cream, and we did, I wrote the thank you card to the waitress who served us. It is the pink and white card that the government recently introduced to help recognize good service in Singapore. Haha. Pathetic attempt to attain some good karma yes? Haha.

Left with the rest after that and took 31 to tampinese. It was a long ride but it didn’t seem that long because we were talking the whole way there. I shall refrain from using the word bitching just to be delusional. ><’’ Got to tampinese and was reluctant to go home. So I wandered tampinese mall with Cheryl and Yi xiang, doing some window shopping and looking at stuff we couldn’t buy because we were broke. Cries* I think I better end the entry here because it’s already one thirty and I have another friendly match tomorrow. Not that I will be playing for sure, but I would like to be wide awake. Haha just had to clarify and not give the facade unlike some people who enjoy portraying that they are in some sort of important sport CCA when they are not. Okay, I’m being a slut again. ><
