well, that was a surprise (long post, be warned)
er, before i start, chih hung could you please post your blog address to me again? i seem to have lost it when i cleared all my cookies and i can't reallt remember it. sorry.
ok, yan gui zen zhuan (damn why does blogger not allow chinese characters?) toaday's class outing was... odd. so few people came, but it's the the usual few this time around. in fact the usual few were missing! one was sick, one "didn't feel like coming" one got grounded, etc etc. ok i can understand the circumstances of those which they cannot control but "don't feel like coming"? wth?? and i don't think you're that good at kite-flying either >_>
hahahah talking about kite-flying right, i think we're like some noobs at it lar. went to buy kites, the first store gave us a price of $2.50 per kite (we're talking the cheap ones lar) i was so disgusted with that price. comeon, the last time i bought them one dollar apiece. ran ahead of everyone else to some provision shop, and found that they sell it at 10 for $6. wahahah. don't even need to bargain liao hehe. strings were standard rate, $1 per roll (short ones. the 2,000 feet ones are $8 O.o)
then came the hard part. kite-flying. ok we have absolutely no idea what the dickens we were suppsoed to do. firstly the kites were, well, DIY kites. i mean all the sticks and paper was there, but we had to more or less tie the strings ourselves. first thing tie wrongly liao -.- so some helpful dude (well old man actually) tied it correctly for us. then we tried to get it in the air but we kinda failed. horribly. so we had to go qing ziao (ask for help) from dear old sensei which helped us tie the string before. and this guy is PRO. within like 3 minutes he had our kite at the end of the line! ZOMG. out of curiousity we asked him how long he's been flying kites. the answer? 30 years. zomg again. we just keep getting owned by these people >_<
the sue brought this gigantic kite that we have absolutely no idea how to fly. actually, it's supposed to be used in damn windy places, and like run with it one. so well, it dodn't really suit our purpose. never mind, eh? at least me and yannie managed to learn how to get the kite up in the air. heh i even got it to the end of the short line! muhahaha accomplishment! i dunno how many others were able to do it but i guess not many.
after that they decided ("they" as in whoever's present from the, well you know gang...) to go pay cassandra a visit, so go all the way to dhoby ghaut. um... yeah, that's where i used to live. woohoo! hey i can even see my old flat from the bottom of the shopping centre, which i think once used to be Yaohan. Tania thinks Yaohan is off to the left, but i think that building is it. (did i mention the tania and yanfen look DAMN alike today? i'm serious, except for hair length if you look at them from the back you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. When we got there cassy's shift not on yet, so we have to wait like 20 minutes. what did we do? spend our time in some funky gallery and the adidas sports shop. go in the shop for WHAT i don't know, anyway was watching someone play XBOX. and DAMN the graphics are superb.
ok, ben and jerrys. we all had hot chocolate and coffee. who am i kidding? it's an ice-cream parlour, dammit. ended up sharing some triple scoop thingy with zy. heh been too damn long since i ate ice-cream liao. and apparently i don't know how to "enjoy" ice-cream, as zy keeps reminding me. what "drink water after you finish the entire ice-cream"or "don't eat dinner after ice-cream"... whatever lar. i'm not that ziang jiu hahaha
and then dinner! dinner and BK's. and i'm like i don't like Bk >_< never liked any sort of burgers before, in fact. not even the cheeseburger from mac's, which i eat occiasonally because it's the only thing i can finish in 10 mintues XD. anyway, got a fries and onion rings. and spent the time talking about stuff like height, T-shirt sizes and online games like neopets. what the hell do ppl still play that? well i do, but only occasionally =)
and on the way back yannie started asking me these like damn weird questions lar. i seriously don't know how to answer you, man. eh, you answer them yourself, then maybe i'll consider answering them.
woot this is turning out into some damn long bomb post. still got three more sub-stories to tell before i sign off =D
...
first sub-story. kinda reminded during GP when skirt length was suddenly brought up for some reason. forgot that reason but anyway i have a very lasting memory about that that was brought up again today. see, i think it's no big secret that i watch anime quite regularly (ok i've not really been doing that lately but wtv) and at first i thought that the ppl in Japan are quite deprived or something. well at least the producers are. i mean they make the female uniform so... well... short. and so i thought. until our jap club was visited by 7 jap school transfer students (they have since transferred back so don't bother looking for them) and um, well let's just say we thought they were taking the opportunity as transfers to flout school rules as much as they please. turns out no. see the *standard* length for them back in japan.. ok this is hard to decribe. lemme try... from the bottom of the butt area (meaning like the lowest bit of the anatomy you can consider the buttock region) add three finger-width (meaning put three figners together and the total width of those three fingers) and that's just about the hem of the skirt. most of us started (well the guys, at least) to roll our eyes while the girls were like covering their mouth or retching. yeah i find it hard to believe to until today. 'cause a couple of these japanese ppl got on the MRT today, and althougth it's not school uniform it is THAT short. i'm like, don't talk about sitting, how do you even climb stairs? zomg they must be damn pro of something lar -.-" don't even want to think about it.
second: did you read the papers today? about abusive wives and meek husbands kind of thing? well they were discussing why so few of these cases turn up, and they were trying to pin it on a few reasons, like reputation or image, but i think none of them got even CLOSE to the right idea. see from what I think, it's jsut that the law and constitution gives too much rights to women. comeon, if a woman wants to convict someone of rape or something, and sticks to her story, the chances of the guy getting away are like less than 1/5. same with this. lay ONE finger on your wife or say ONE abusive word, and it's bye-bye cold storage for the next 5 years AT LEAST. and if you try to convict your wife? hahahahah i will shake your hand, pat you on the back and tell you "good luck".
last (finally): actually i read this yesterday but since i posted already couldn't be bothered. was reading YJ's post (did i mention the YeJie is a damn big SPOILSPORT? comeon lar, opportunity to nearly score full marks for a GP project and he's being so stubborn XD) about various scandals nearer CT's? i know the reason why. it's because ppl like us are gullible enough to respond to various pleas of help from others who like slack half the year and go "oh noes, please help this person in dire distress because i suddenly find i don't comprehend almost everything i read" and being the KIND people we are, we oblige, we teach, and sometimes, we manage to make them pass. and after the CT's (or promo's) it's back to "ok, exam over, to heck with the results, let's have fun" ALL the way until the NEXT exam period, where it's again "oh noes, we need help!" sigh. what to do?
woot, you finally made it to the end. lol hope you didn't fall asleep reading all this.
