This is what I call holidays

Yupz. Really went crazy today. Had been longing for such a day for the whole year. Ever since my friends and I went seperate ways when we enter JC, it is really hard to get the OPX gang (made up of NP guys) together. But we did it! We met up at Harbourfront today, intending to go to Sentosa to just enjoy each other's company and in the end, decided not to after seeing the long queue waiting for the bus services to Sentosa. So some of us who came on time (note it's on time not early) waited at the food centre just beside the MRT station for the others (ppl like Kang Hao haha) and then had a great laugh for the FIRST time (meaning there's more to come) when Kang Hao called and asked us where we were after we had specifically told him to find us in the food centre beforehand. It turned out that being Kang Hao, he had landed himself in Harbourfront Centre which is just opposite the food centre. We have like expected this anyway, so we were already anticipating his call to ask for directions. Haha not to sound mean but then for someone who can give people a bad impression in Bridge games, you really have to cut him some slack.

So anyway, after having our lunch we went to Cold Storage in Harbourfront Centre and each got ourselves a whole packet of 1 litre Soya Bean Milk and we were like brandishing that carton everywhere we go, as though they were war trophies. Then we enjoyed doing clever things like stopping in the middle of nowhere and squatting down together, forming circles or walking on grass to get across a drain and then later found out that there is a well-paved road just beside that patch of thick, long grass. Thats like how smart. Then we went up this road that we thought will lead up to Mount Faber and in the end it is a dead-end with a sort of apartment located there. The place is like infested with mosquitoes and we were like making a blood donation. Then Kang Hao suggested going Chinatown to buy some souvenirs as required by the China trip. We enjoyed laughing our heads off as we went from place to place, fully neglecting the presence of other people. Then we acted like tourists and went up Smith Road to search for the souvenirs and found out that there is no such thing as Perfect Competition. Guess the shop-owners don't really know about price elasticity because two shops can bge selling the same item (keychains) for like 6 for $10 and 6 for $2.40. Ah!!! How smart. Then we walked past a beggar and found out that he stretched out his hands when me and two other of my friends walked past but he simply looked away when Kang Hao passed by him. Haha. Ok there is definitely something wrong about Kang Hao.

Then we enjoyed cracking lame jokes and amplifying the level of amusement they bring by laughing so loudly that I bet the people walking along Chinatown must have thought we were a bunch of lunatics who have cracked under exam stress. Especially when Kang Hao (Ah! It is hard not to laugh AT him when he is around.) said that he found blood stains on his bed sheets when he woke up. (He claimed he had squashed the poor mosquito which had obviously picked the wrong target and didn't live to regret its choice.) Blood stains on bedsheets. Kang Hao you ought to be careful of what you say because that's got to be a sign which is definitely NOT normal for a guy. Then Kang Hao spilled some soya bean milk onto his hands and when we asked where he got that from, he said,"Oh! I squeezed EK's shoulder." Haha. Next we walked from Chinatown to Clarke Quay where we bid good bye to Kang and Jun Yan. The latter was going to Orchard to meet his "friend" while Kang Hao had to go to send off his relative at the airport.

So we walked and talked cock, "praised" the government (haha we do this alot) for giving accurate information in Social Studies textbooks as to how clean the Singapore River is. I am sure those chairs that have been left to rot at the side of the river are meant to add on to the fantastic scenery and to beautify the coastline. Haha. Finally we let our legs rest after 4 to 5 hours of walking in the KFC outlet at Funan. We took it in turns to snatch each others handphones and try to discover some things that might be interesting news. Then disturbed Jun Yan by calling him to tell him that we have seen him walking on the streets of Orchard with his friends. Haha. So that's it. A whole day of lameness and ludicrousness. The "Get Real" TV programme on Channel News Asia will have this as next week's topics: 6 Deranged on the move in Singapore."

Anyway, will be away for the following three days because of the Chalet. Yeah!!
