The day
Today started off with an exciting day ahead, but ended with a much-regretted day behind.
Today was the supposedly great day the three-some had been looking forward to so much, because we were coming together on this day to celebrate the birthday of the eldest clone amongst us. So, spirit was high today- didn't have the car-sickness I usually suffer, didn't have the aches and the dopping eye. It was a refreshing day, which wasn't particularly packed with lessons. Had plenty of breaks. So we started with physical education, where we ran a really long journey, with an extension of a slope and a lope round the previous route we ran. It was tiring, and we had more stretching after that. So, the injury in the head pronged the blood to flow upwards- there was a sudden gush of blood in the head area. *Dizzy*
We had this house dialog in mid-afternoon, 1500h. Met with the so many familiar faces of my Orientation Group leaders as well as the our clan master- Trinity. Zephon~Zephon! So they briefed us on the coming up house eventswhich were supposedly going to take place after the JAE. And I was like telling the guy next to me to participate in almost every event- the typical enthusiastic me=). The last part of the session was a cheering recap to help the new members who have come into Alpha(Zephon) because of the reshuffling of the class. Well, welcome to Alpha, but it's a little sad that the original Orientation group was kind of cut and split into so many different houses. The only remaining ones from group 13 were only me, Gavin, Kaizan(who forgot my name today!), GaoHan, and MinYu. The original size was 40+ people, and it's less than 10 already. Of course, I remembered all of the cheers, except that I couldn't replace 'Zephon' which I was so used to with 'Alpha'- the rightful and original name of out house. Then they mentioned about this 17th or something House Committee which means the new batch whom the present ones would pass the baton onto. They mentioned about this nomination thing, and some next clan master thing, where I was literally 'sarbo-ed'. They requested for volunteers to lead one of the cheer during the recap, and tempted us with the offer of a 'better standing chance for house Committee'. Then the people around me started nudging me and saying things like, "you very enthu one what, go leh." "go, future ogl!" etc. And right at this point of time, Joel called, when all attention was on me, even that of the present house captain. So, I looked kind of weird there, but yet, I led that cheer. A little nervous though, but the experience was good. Another add-on to the original "orchestra or climbing or both" struggles". Now it becomes "House com or climbing or orchestra or either two?"
After that, I went to meet up with Joel at Bedok bus terminal. He was in a pathetic state- big bags hanging down from either arm, including the cake we've ordered yesterday. He had gone to collect it before coming over. Then we searched half the Bedok for the materials for the surprise. Sparklers ain't easy to find these days. So we took the bus to East Coast Park, found a patch of grass and lay down all the things. Joel was doing some last minute touch-up
on his card, while I did up the master plan behind the surprise.
We found a ledge, started arranging the sparklers in the shape of F-A-I-T-H, and wrote many words around it. Our special surprise for clone=). Clone was here soon, and we showed her the surprise. The sparklers were not working as planned- so much smoke and lighted out so fast. So the thing wasn't entirely a success. But we tried our best, so yup, hope you like it, clone=)
Then we went into the sea, drifted in it for nearly 0100h. So relaxing and so fun. It was cold though. They had their clothes changed before going for dinner, while I remained in my wet ones. Caught a little cold. But I touched the sky today, followed the outline=)
Had dinner at some Japanese-Korean restaurant, which serve really big servings food. Then headed home after that. Got Joel to escort clone home, while I took the bus myself. Was kind of troubled by many things... Yup, silent night....Labels: just wanna say sorry to you=(
