Sitting back quietly

Sitting back quietly

I was typing this halfway last night when poof! My room suddenly descends into pitch black darkness and I hear the silent whirr of the computer going dead.

Shitbloodyhelldamnitall! *mutters quietly as everyone else sleeping*

Starts to freak out a teenie-weenie bit as its so quiet and the houses behind mine all have lights on. Begins wondering if my house has been targeted by a bunch of thieves who cut the power lines so that we cannot call for help. *the result of too many storybooks and a vivid imagination. stop laughing, will ya?* Tiptoes into my parents room and wake my dad up to discover that its only our row of houses has no electricity. Dang!

No air-cond no fan how to sleep?!
Thankfully power comes back in 20 minutes. =)

But I still decide to sleep instead of blog. Hehe.

Today, I discover that all I've typed has vanished into thin air. Which means I have to start from scratch again. *sighs*

Rewinds clock back to 24 hours ago.

Woke up at 11.30am as I slept at 4-something am the previous night. Headed down to Civic Centre for my brother's Yamaha concert themed 'Music Around The World'. My brother's group did a song from Austria's 'Sound of Music.' There was this class that played the Harry Potter theme and they all marched on stage wearing those black Harry Potter robes with pointy hoods. They looked so gaya when they threw back their hoods simultaneously. I was kinda expecting them to pull out a wand too.

Wah, so cute! I also want lerr...=p
Why my kiddy concerts last time don't have until so yeng wan?
Ah well, think of what their parents have to pay for that robe...

Went to 1U around 5.30 to shop with Wai Ee and Sook. Met up with Michelle, Thiam Beng, Sueh Lung and Vincent and we walked around for a bit before splitting up. Wai Ee, Sook and I decided to plop into Starbucks and chit-chat while the rest decided to err...wander around and do their thing. We sat down there for a good hour and a half and yakety-yakked. Discovered that Cze Wien and Justin were eating in Nando's right opposite us, but we didn't see them as they were seated right in the back corner and they came in through the back entrance. Aiyo!


En route dinner, we stopped to watch a performance where the guys were drooling. Haha. Wai Ee and Sook got fed up and decided to go to the restaurant first. After a while, we left and joined them at Old Asia for dinner. Talked, laughed, crapped and all the funny stories and catching up came up. From Micheal Teoh to scout recruits and Roxy bags to rebonding. Haha.

5 pretty girls all in a row. ;) According to Karl Son, if you take a picture from bottom up, you will look slimmer. I can't see the difference though. Can you?
4 of the guys with their err...longer legs? Haha. Vincent and Wei Liang were doing dunno what so they ended up not in the picture.

Michelle had to go off earlier as the next day was a schooling day for her. And we all forgot about that. That's what happen when you go out with a bunch of on-holiday people. =p

Decided to go 'yum cha' at about 10 so Cze, Sook, Wai Ee, Zhen Quan and I went off in Karl Son's car to SS2. My 2nd time sitting Karl Son's car and he slammed the accelarator while reversing.

Wahlaowei!
Karl Son, you don't have to impress us with your daredevil driving skills ok.
We'd all rather be a little more unimpressed and arrive in 1 piece. =p

With all the tailgating and speeding and his S-shaped negotiation of humps, we made so much noise at the back and I think poor Wai Ee couldn't breathe from fright. I quote Karl Son..

KS : Don't worry. I'm a careful reckless driver.
Me : How can you say that? Those 2 words totally oppose and cancel each other out. Its like saying peaceful war. Hello? *sighs*

Arrived at SS2 in 1 piece *breathes in relief. hehe* and go a few rounds before settling on a place next to Coffeebean. My criteria for the place was, must be fairly quiet so that we can talk and have a clean toilet. Haha.

I think we were the only customers so it was pretty quiet and the toilet was err..quite clean lah. Haha. Vin brought along his laptop and did his sketching homework while the rest of us sat around and crapped.

I called my dad at 11.30pm as I had to be back before 12 and I didn't want to risk getting grounded as I was planning to go out the next day. Left the place with Cze and came home to my bowl of dessert and my mum watching Desperate Housewives.

Starts to blog and suddenly there's no electricity.

Fast forward 10 hours and I'm back here blogging.

Its the first day since my exams ended that I don't have to rush off somewhere and I can sit down here blogging, relaxing and pigging out. I'm so worn out that it feels really good to just sit back quietly and loosen up.

I'm off for a date with my darling television.

Predicted activity for the afternoon :
- Eating lunch and tea in front of the televsion along with my 9.30pm rerun and my DH. =)

I just love the holidays and you people. *extra-wide grin*
