i am going to hit you with a list of what's going on
14th april
dad's 52nd birthday. but dad couldn't even make it to his own party, not that we really had a party going on. it was just going to be mum and i cutting a cake (which wasn't even bought yet) for him. but dad hates the awkwardness that comes with it and he had a meeting anyway. so there was just me and mum.
with a sudden craving for long john silver, i managed to convince mum to head down to jp with me. haha brilliant. except for the fact that the deeply fried chicken, fish and fries were my downfall into hell. one hell of a fever. not forgetting the after-effects of a very hoarse and surprisingly deep voice till this day.
wanted to buy dad a mont blanc watch, but mum saw the $4000+ price tag and laughed. so i am guessing that's a never-going-to-happen laugh.
15th april
was still well. there were absolutely no signs or symptoms that i was going to fall sick. lucas and i decided to head down to kangyu's new condo at Varsity Park (one stone throw away from NUS campus) for a swim at night.
the place is really really beautiful. had this whole resort thing going on. i especially like the whole very open concept. lack of privacy but still the place is so beautiful i wouldn't mind haha.
initially. the three of us were just swimming along the pool and enjoying the jacuzzi.
then came the part where kangyu wanted to go play at the children's water playground. since the whole place was almost deserted, we could play all we want without really embarrassing ourselves.
and so we did. haha it was awesome. we must have been a very ridiculous sight to behold though. and the two guys even climbed up the slide(from the end part) which had like water cascading down. i had a laughing fit when kangyu managed to do it while lucas just slided back down with an accompanying echo of "ahhhhhhs"
one canadian thai boy joined us after awhile. we must have looked like we were having a lot of fun. he followed us when we moved on to the beach-like pool (minus the waves). at first, i thought he was indian, but he didn't seem to understand english. so we thought he was a burmese. i kept saying 'mingalaba' (hello in burmese) but he didn't respond so that possibility was out.
kangyu went on to bully the kid by trying to splash him water. he actually defended himself by saying he was being friendly and was playing with the little boy. i think it must have worked because the boy splashed back at kangyu. the little boy even did small little 'stunts' like flapping away at his armpit trying to create the elusive farting sound. haha
his canadian dad eventually came out and told us that the boy doesn't understand english. he speaks only thai with the mum. this despite the fact that he sends his kid to an english school.
" i sent him to an english school but they teach him no english!"
it was dinner at the cheese prata stall near NUS after that. best prata ever tasted.
16th april
woke up shivering and with a very bad sore throat. felt like dying. since i was supposed to meet lucas and weilun later on for buffet, i made myself get up, reach for my handphone and smsed four minimal words to them : fever sore throat dying. that relayed the message pretty well didn't it haha
spent the rest of the day fighting the evil virus residing in my body. never felt so sick before. i was out in cold sweat just after 5 seconds of moving from one spot to another a mere 1cm away. gave my mum a hell of a time as well, because i refused to eat medicine and i couldn't eat anything even though i was extremely hungry. plus it didn't help that i was screaming with conviction that i was going to die every few minutes
by the way, i did succumb to drinking the chinese medicine at night because i was afraid my fever would turn me into a retard.
17th april
miraculously woke up feeling fine. extremely hoarse voice expected
19th april
headed down to s'pore discovery centre to meet Alex. he tried to teach me how to hold a gun, we went into a model of a plane just for fun, visited the Olympics exhibition there...
then we were off on a spontaneous trip to the lim chu kang goat farm. had the funniest time trying to feed the goats with hay or whatever u call it. do you know that goat's milk is more digestible than cow's milk? well now you know (:
we even made our way down to vsa at cairnhill cc for a little while and tried making Michael focus on finishing wrapping his bowl with newspapers. in the end, we did it for him hahaha
it was aimless walking around Orchard road after that. several attempts to shop were curbed. yea i am on probation. no shopping for a year. i am thinking that a break should be allowed during the GSS though :D
as i got the two of us lost while navigating the back roads of Shaw Lido, it took a few wrong turns and a very optimistic thinking that all roads lead back home to novena before we finally got to alex's place.
waited at starbucks novena for kiansiong. when he arrived, i basically just kept talking with that horrible hoarse voice of mine. i believe he was amused.
day ended with all of us on the swing at alex's grand lobby. i left with a voice more horrible than the day before.
20th april
weilun, lucas, kangyu and i headed down to suntec.
spent most of our time in Toys R Us. i think the older we get, the more fun we have doing childish things.
let's not forget the awesome crystal ball that is way accurate.
the crystal ball was supposed to give simple answers to questions being said to the ball.
to test the accuracy, the guys shouted into the ball: " chiewyee sucks"
to which the ball answers: " no that is not accurate"
now that's one magically accurate crystal ball!
(they tried it three times, so i swear it's accurate)
later part of the day was an emotional rollercoaster that just left me pretty much dazed and awfully tired. like i said before, i don't want negativity in my life. i am never going to put myself in a situation where i will be hurt again.
22nd april
funny trip to the police station with alex cause he lost his wallet.
secret recipe lunch with alex, sam, ks and andy. andy says the weirdest thing in the funniest way.
i tried the new Dulce De Leche Frappuccino at Starbucks. it's really good. shall be my favorite coffee drink from now on.
24th april
liwen's birthday! but the other day i called her and she's busy studying.
Happy Birthday liwen (:
spent the entire day with XINYU.
my goodness, we ate and talked at pizza hut. then moved headquarters to Anderson ice cream, before settling down to watching Definitely, maybe the movie.
awesome day (:
you know the good kind of emo-ness you feel where you just want to hug all your friends and tell them you love them very very much? this is one of those days with the feel-good emo-ness. haha
it's safe to say i am happy with the way things are. obviously there are some things i left unsettled. but perhaps sometimes the best thing to do is to take a step back and enjoy life the way it is.
i can't please everyone and i have learnt to stop trying to.

chiewyee!
basically what we have here is a dreamer.
someone out of touch with reality.
when she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly.
