Liberation



Hello i'm back.
Just as soon as they came, they were over. The JCTs are over! I am(we all are) free at last. For the moment, that is. But, some freedom is better than none, so i'll take it.

This is going to be a relatively long post, so bear with me. I'll be splitting this post into the past 3 days.

Starting with,
Thursday

Finished physics paper at 4pm, the last of them. The hall broke into a buzz of joy and relief, after all, they were finally over. CGs started on their plans for celebration, all heading out of school for movies, dinners, etc.

My CG went for dinner at Carl's Junior, Suntec. Huge burgers, along with the self-mixed ice tea, but we managed to finish. Engaged in "Talking Cock", been a while since we've done that. Walked over to the sky garden afterwards and spent some time there. We took silly pictures and all, great time.


Not the whole class, but yeah, still a relatively large group


I was under restraint, really.

I got settled down quick as soon as i reached home. Felt like diving straight into games with my class guys or Vishnu, but i had to clean up my hard disk. It's going crazy with the ever-fluctuating free space.


Meet the Skele-Family

Had a not-so-typical game of dota at around 1 am. King Leoric, four of him. Which means, 4 stuns and 4 reincarnations. Good fun, except for the centaur in the opposing team which had like 3k hp at lvl 10. Insane tank.

That about sums up Thursday. I went to sleep soon after.

Friday

Met ted and weizhou at Mac's around 10.30am in the morning for breakfast. I hit my toe(all-too familiar) against a rock pillar at the bus-stop on the way back with them to my place. Bloody mess.


It isn't the first time

Yujun, chenghau, and tujin arrived soon enough and they all had a swim(no video this time, sigh). A rather short swim, too.

Rushed for a bus down to Ehub Downtown East. Met ryan and angus there and we bought tickets for "You Don't Mess With The Zohan".


Caught in the act

There was some time before the movie came on, so we crashed the arcade. We shot hoops at the err... Shooting Hoops Machine? Apparently the machine was quite mini-scaled, so we could reach the hoops using our hands, with ease.

There were 2 machines. The first one had problems with starting even after tapping the card 4 times, which meant 4 dollars spent. The techinician switched machines for us, and we played. With 2 credits left, the machine failed on us, again. So, the technician switched AGAIN, and gave us 5 credits. 3 credits free of charge. Nice, unknowingly or not. We got scolded for transferring balls to either machine(look above).


Yujun looking, angus and ryan shooting

The movie was entertaining, albeit with tons of sexual innuendos. Serious. Go catch it if you wish. I shan't be a spoiler by descriptions of the film here. The starting was hilarious, but the humour kinda died down midway. Not entirely mindless though.


"Angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging"

Had subway with them after the show. I can't believe i blurted " 6 foot! " when the guy taking my order asked me whether i wanted a foot-long or a 6-inch sandwich. Funny how the mind works. 6 foot(or feet in this case) is longer than my body, by the way.

The day didn't end yet. I met altron, yinwei, kcc, and kun for some lan at KRTC( if you know what that means ). We played Battlefield 2 from 9 to 11.45pm, and won all the rounds. Incredible, rewarding fun. (Go USMC!)

Saturday

Happy Birthday Lek Ping!

Today's her birthday so we planned to meet at 2.28pm. We had Swensens!

Yujun and i ordered our selected sets of baked rice and CLAM CHOWDER soup. The soup was unique, it came in a breadbowl. We had so much fun digging out the insides of the bread, until we made a hole through the entire thing. Couldn't finish it though, much too filling after the main course.


A ring and a half

After which, everybody separated and i hopped on the bus home with yujun. Took 15 from parkway and changed to 21. Now here i am.

JCTs are over, yes. But, the dread from getting our results, ISN'T. We've this weekend to play the hell out of ourselves, or die trying. After next week, there won't be a chance. It'll be back to the notes. So, people, enjoy while you still can!

My dinner's waiting for me, 30 cm away. I shall be nice and not let it wait any longer. Goodbye!
