let me blog my hiatus post first.most probably will be on a yog hiatus for up to 27th august - my last day of duty.
unless something worth blogging comes by in the midst of the games.
duty hours start as early as 7am and end as late as 11pm.
if i'm lucky on some days, i may be able to attend band practices.
it's like a band hiatus too. ):
no social activity during this period too.
and no studying. (ha, isn't it supposed to be extended study break?!)
luckily i only have 2 papers. if not i'm gonna die with only 1 week to study.
so it's goodbye blogging world.
(although i may pop by to update on the following 2 days - yog torch relay @ tp and cedar percs dinner)
hopefully yog will be a fun and worthy experience for me.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!happy 45th birthday singapore! (:
i don't have the national day mood.
i don't really have the yog mood either.
i wonder why.
was just thinking about choices and decision.
and the beatles' obladi oblada played on my itunes;
obladi oblada life goes on~
so i just decided to ignore all the shit and think about the happy things in my life.
things weren't that complicated last time.
and i miss secondary school days..
(it started with my bro's friends coming to my house this morning)
here's a contradicting line before i go off:
i want to chill out. but i want to save money.
anyone has suggestions on money-free activities?

through emails, we communicated: 会いましょ！:D
貯金したいです。
i'm gonna eat bread (not grass this time cos it's for real) and not spend on unnecessary stuff in order to save more money.
and workkk!
till i update again.
nothing much going on in my life since meiden left 1 week plus ago.
that was my july's finale event.
i'm super bored everyday now!
from 7-day band weeks to 1-day band week last week, and 3-day this week.
and i'm so lazy to touch my sticks that after yog, confirm can't do strokes properly.

25th july (part II); farewell party & airport send-offpost-concert: interaction/games and farewell party.
i still remember the way zul asked to take photo, act japanese like what we did 2 years ago in japan! with the accent we naturally adopt after the exchange.
we decided to spam jump shots.
fail.
this shot is nice and funny! hahaha.
and wth is val doing when all us were jumping?!?! LOL.
a very nice photo again . (:
tubas jump shot.
dinner time!
shoko broke her fork while cutting the chicken. hahaha.
and during dinner we gossiped alot with them HAHAHA.
we were trying to find out about couples.
aya was the best, she got super super high after she heard something about a meiden percussionist and clarinetist and ran from tables to tables for gossips.
in the end we didn't conclude anything though lol.
but we got to know who are the attached and single people.
they were like, "single? hi-5!"
super cute lah omg! :D
interaction/games time!
haha camwhoring with grace while others were packing..
but i accompany her cos her ankle was injured! oops.
sharyn.
whoo pro camwhores with good aiming skills.
we got tired after playing games.
king kong kang kong.. concentration.. all the sitting down games cos we were lazy people and didn't want to play ice & water like the other sections. \:
suddenly remembered about sumo so we decided to play!!! :D :D :D
the game meiden taught us in japan 2008!
i still have the shoko vs jixian (and other random) sumo video lolol :D
present presentation.
farewell speeches.
on the bus to the airport!
typical camwhores and attempts to get the nice 'perc bus' photo effect 2 days ago.
but failed cos most were blur!
at the airport.
nothing to do = photos. hahaha.
last section photo. ):
incomplete!!!
final briefing before going in...
then we walked with them to the glass panels just like what we did 2 years ago.
and then chionging up to the viewing mall for our final goodbye.
byebye meiden.
may i see you again!
december december! but not with the school.
after they went in.
supper time at popeyes with val, choy and regina.
choy and i missed our last 53 so we took 27 with val and regina to hougang.
and then cabbed home HAHA.
the atmosphere at the airport was light and happy this time round.
whereas 2008 most of us were crying at the airport.
依依不舍 was written all over our faces.
probably because our japan trip wasn't confirmed yet then.
anyhow, it was great meeting meiden again! (:
but i'm gonna miss all the times we had together, from 2008 till now.
i'm gonna work very very very hard from now to achieve my goals!
work = literally work and studying (japanese).
after this exchange, discovery on our jap proficiency level: SUPER CUI TTM!!!
can't form sentences, wrong grammar usage and anyhow change the forms.
sigh christine and val, let's jia alot of you!
i seriously want to go japan this december.
started planning with christine and what's left is the saving part.
let's go let's go! :D
