early in the morning after episode of Disorientation..

izyanti was sitting quitely on the courtyard contemplating the fact that for completely illogical reasons, she was in fact at school when bouncy friend [ie.gennie] bounces up to her

"iz iz, what did you get for aini's birthday?"
"huh? aini's birthday?"
"um, it's today isnt it?"
"today? naaaaah - wait, oh skoodeedooda! oh shit oh shit, this is baaad oh frock! - oh. my. gawd. if TODAY'S aini's birthdaaaay...then yesterday would have been..my DAD'S birthday!! *flabbergasted* oh shiiiiiiiit"

the detrimental effects of too much sleep. really, who would have thought??

anyway, it turned out that daddy dearest himself forgot! mwaha. i called mudder in the middle of school for the fun of it only to find out that she too, as his wife, forgot as well! *snerk* her reaction was much much amplified lol.

at Faber

it was muchos fun, hot and sticky but fun nontheless because well, it's something new for me! its no surprise that i don't usually spend my weekend in foresty areas but hey, it was worth it.

so what WAS i doing there? it had turned out to be the 'sekrit location' of the CAP alumni outing and uh, i ended up being laaaate.
honestly, i dont really think that this episode was my fault. kass called me up when i was in the bus to tell me that hey, it might be at 2 instead of 1. so i cleverly decided to drop by IMM for my proper lunch and yadda yadda when i was waiting for my public transport chariot, they called me to ask politely, WHERE THE HELL I WAS. *sighs* and technically, since i did think it was at 2, i wasn't late! =D

interjection: i was at the supermarket there looking for um, more food before i gave up cuz the lines at the cashier were bloody long and ironically, i didnt want to be late. i was too lazy to trek back [hey, it was those giant hypermarts kaaay!] so i decided to squeeze out through one of the closed cashier aisled that had been blocked with at line of trolleys so you can imagine how narrow it was. i had to inch sideways and in the process, something plastic and SHARP scratched my face so ow ow nevermind, i adopted Dory's motto and just keep walking walking walking when i later on caught my reflection somwhere and the scratch was no small thing at ALL. it was red and swell-y. PANIC but breathe breathe, it'll go down, just a titchy scratch no biggie, or so i told myself.
at the end of the day when i had conveniently forgotten abt its prescence, but oh nooo. good ol siak and this chinese high huy brought attention to it and hah, get this, they said i look like..Action Woman.
cheers to you, man. always wanted to be a superhero; bring on the spandex and cape! yeah right, lol.

i have a rakish scar yeah!

anyways, im my mid-panic on the bus, i /actually/ managed to concoct up a decent poem! something that is really rare i think, to have um, inspiration strike up in the middle of nowhere :/

in the midst of furiously sending out psychic thought-waves to Mr. A B Lye [ie. bus driver i'm sorry - i mean, bus captain] to pleeeease step on the gas pedal cuz geez, that's what its for when i realized that i'm always caught in a situation when i'm tardy; so here it goes!

an ode to the perpetually late

i know i know
ten minutes ago
i should have been There
instead of still Here

i rush i rush
but to no effect
the constantly late
can't beat the clock

i didn't mean to, really i swear
the bus was late!
the traffic was bad!
it isn't my fault at all!

i'll blame the sky
and the rain that falls
before i
...grudgingly admit,

i lost track of time.

its not that i dawdle
its not that i dally
- seperate entities,
the clock and i.

merf, probably the most decent thing i wrote yesterday *shudders remembering her incoherent scrawls in her notebook*. will elaborate later -

ANYWAYS, somehow in all the flurry-burry [gawd, what a funny word] i managed to confoose myself into thinking that they were all waiting at harbourfront's cable car station so i literally ran around, realizing that shopping centres are very conducive places for 2.4, got lost, had to ask directions from TOURISTS before finally getting to the bloody station. where i then found out that whoopeedoo, they weren't there at all and shiit, i just got mixed up. AND they were already making their way to Faber. and gawd, if i cant even get around harbourfront, NO WAY am i going to attempt trekking up Faber myself and here's the slightly embarassing thing: its been EONS since ive been there and i have completely FORGOTTEN where it was anyways.
so there i was, panting, sweaty [sorry - i mean, glowing] no doubt like a neon tomato :/ much to the curious stares of tourists. i hope i ddnt give them the wrong impression of singapore youths. i swear, we're not usually that dishevelled!
i was annoyed with myself and not to happy about my wild goose chase so clever-osity of me, the only thing i came up with is "TAKE CABLE CAR". even the reality of it costing $7.50 didn't hit my perhaps dehydrated brain.
the whole ride was stupiak, i didnt realize it was so close by *sheepish* felt like knocking my head against the car walls but ddnt of course cuz i ddnt like the idea of an um, dramatic accident further marring my afternoon lol. and it wasnt even scenic! i went over the bloody roads augh. i listened to the audio tour guide in french, they sure take a long time to say 'green foresty supposed mountain' :P

but i forgave myself for my own stupidity when i finally got there cuz really, its not often that i get to see such an awesome view and um, ambience! it's beautiful really, tourist-enhanced but nonetheless, simply lahv-ly.
there was this bar/cafe thing with starbucks-style chairs on the open deck looking out to the river opening up to the sea. it was breezy, they were playing The Corrs's greatest hits, i was playing with this pretty cat oh oh all was right with the world *beams* i feel like going back one day, just for the sake of it.

the rest of them reached maybe 10ish minutes later and honestly i felt a lil bad for kinda cheating. they had to trek all the way up and kass was wearing according to her, 'not-so-comfy' slippers.
um, the ice-breaker games i felt were kinda painful. not literally duh, but very much so to the social insecure in me who suddenlt decided to rear its ugly head up. there was this game when we had to humour-ify scientific facts and when kass called my name my brain literally went blank and started screaming "HOLE! HOLE! FIND HOLE TO CRAWL IN!" and honestly, who /can/ be funny with loud intrusive voices in your head shouting at you?? huh? huh?
..i was just, um, intimidated by the sudden onslaught of new faces i think.

did a spot of writing, really bad stuff and ended up sketching the Ye Olde Giant Tree.

the game we played afterwards was muchos fun though! um, some of us were blindfolded [including yours truly] and were made to do stupid stuff and simply said, exploited in front of the discerning lens of vincent's camcorder *sighs* gawd, how stupid can you get?
maan, it was LAME to the extreme and therein, the fun-osity of it all. made to jump over 'drains' though i stuck my foot out to feel around and there were clearly NONE. doofus. but still, i went along with it accompanied by a cry of 'cowabunga!'
and they made me climb on to the merlion thingy and THEY ended up grossed out when i accidentaly stuck my finger in some decaying leaf gunk.

and i ended up groping Raffles. snerk! geez, isnt tht some form of blasphemy? *shrugs*

oh and i stuck my hand into the camcorder lens as well so hah!
gawd, i am SO going to cringe when i see the video lol



toodle-oo, mother dearest wants to play inklink. lol
