Woo hoo! We’ve made it into the semi finals! After no less than 8 years, the VJC volleyball guys’ team has made history. We are finally back up in the top four! Our next match, VJC vs. TJC. Who will win? TJ supposedly claimed to be in the finals already since they don’t view us as much of a threat. We shall see. We had dinner at toa payoh since there was no bus back due to the polling day events.





Today’s a damn public holiday and I am at home at 11.00 in the morning blogging. How sad can it get? At least there’s a wedding reception or buffet or whatever later in the evening/late afternoon.

------------------------------

Okay, I found some way to get out of the house in the end. After the countless smses, calls and waiting that was done, we eventually settled on going Amanda’s house. Being the indolent person that I am, I requested a lift to Amanda’s house from Yvonne. I honestly think I am not suited to live in a hot humid country such as Singapore. I mean seriously, the merciless weather is something I can live without; as I am sure many others would agree with.

Spend the time at Amanda’s house watching DVDs and stuffing myself with the food that Amanda’s mom and graciously prepared for us. What a good hostess yes? My mother would probably be in her room sleeping if my friends came over or something. Sometimes I wonder why I even tell myself that I am going to lose weight that I am seemingly stuffing my bottomless pit with fries and chicken wings. Who am I trying to kid? No one but me in all honesty, and the sad reality of it all is that I just don’t have enough will power. Sound weak doesn’t it? It’s a flaw that I will rather do without. It’s probably also a flaw that has been bogging me down for far too long now. It’s affecting my studies, my character development and other what nots. Perhaps, just perhaps, maybe one day I will find inspiration, motivation or some sort of spark somewhere out there that will finally break this weak barrier and allow me to go full force in doing what I set my mind to.


I left at about six forty five to make my way to my cousin’s weird gathering. It’s an after ROM (registration of marriage, I think) party at the Aranda Chalet at down town east. Weird isn’t it? People usually celebrate marriage in the form of a wedding dinner, at least that’s how most Singaporeans do it. I always tell myself that if me, this tub of lard, ever gets married, I will undeniably not have the traditional hotel wedding or at least not just that. I will have one of those wedding settings that you see the American’s having, in which there’s the walking down of the aisle and the pastor talking with God as our witness and yada yada yada. You get the point, the sappy romantic kind of wedding that presumably everyone dreams off, the kind that will cost a bomb but will be one for the memory scrap book. I’ve always imagined what it would be like to have that kind of wedding instead of the boring old wedding dinners and ROM. It’s definitely going to be a hefty sum, but as they always say, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Hopefully. Haha.

Okay, anyway, I’m digressing. The weird celebration cum gathering at the chalet was without a doubt weird in all sense of the word. It was also boring, dull and utterly uninteresting. I’m not going to exhaust all the words that symbolize boring here, but yes, it was enormously dreary and I was just dying to leave the place. My mom and I were sort of stuck there because our dad had just dropped us off and went off somewhere else. It was raining like a bitch and we couldn’t leave till heaven decided to stop pouring down on us. I was literally dying, dying from boredom that is. I sat facing the wall whilst listening to my mom talk to the typical aunties about weight lost and bitching about different sorts of people whom I couldn’t give a damn who they were. Fortunately, there was Zhi Wen and Audrey to amuse me through means of sms. However, somewhere along all the smses, Zhi Wen stopped replying, so I was totally depending on the Xiao char bor. Haha, very grateful with regard to the fact that she replied me till the very last minute I spent in that prison.
