I can confidently say that today was a day of surprises. Really, many unexpected turn out to be expected. There was a highlight of the day which I have identified which made many felt worried and at the same time, laughed to tears. What sort of event was that? Hmmm quite interesting.
Started the day by doing CMA tutorial. Yes, I did CMA tutorial at 7am plus. Did half of the tutorial and went to take shuttle bus to school. Missed the first bus as I was slightly late. Bus reached school at 8.30am. Went to the Free Access Lab to print notes.
Was in the same lab as Guang Min. Left the lab at around 8.56am. The first surprise I presume happened here. While I was walking out of the lab, I saw 2 familiar figures walking out of a lab. At that point in time, I could not recognise them. However, as they were turning to walk to the exit at the lift, I heard the sound of badminton rackets knocking. Ain't I carrying 3 rackets at the moment? It must be someone I know. And there when I turned to the exit, was Eldred and Audrey, standing just inside, barely squeezing into the lift. Or maybe I was wrong and that it was empty. The lift was half closing so I saw them while they did not see me.
Here comes the second surprise. I GOT LOST IN SCHOOL. OMG HOW DID IT HAPPEN, AND WILL EVER HAPPEN? Yup, Business Park has blocked all the roads to Mensa completely and as the lab was just by Business Park, I found myself walking in the enclosed area outside Biz Park. Called Audrey and sms-ed Jerald for a little help. Finally found my way there.
Here comes the third surprise, and it is quite a treat that every paragraph contains a surprise. I reached and the badminton court was still empty. It was 9.10am at the moment. Nothing to do so just wandered around. Saw 2 girls running in the stadium. They ran and ran and ran without stopping and then when they were turning in my direction, one of them looked like Huiqi. What a resemblance. The other girl looks like Venus. Wow? Then when she ran past the spectators stand, IT WAS HUIQI AND VENUS. Lol.
People started to come one by one. Sorry no surprises in this paragraph as I could not figure out what to put in here. Played badminton with Allen, in a losing effort, then played with Eldred, in a losing effort as well. Allen vs Eldred was next and it ended in a 11-0. Allen wanted revenge and I beat him after deuc-ing 13-11. This is the curse of sports hall. My winning rate is only 1 every time I was there and the remaining matches will end up in a loss.
Started playing random badminton matches while some just chatted or went out. I went to the stadium, ran 2 rounds and was a tired already. Had a 50m sprint after that. Went back in and saw Allen practising standing broad jump so I jumped with him. Cant seem to get past 230cm. Did a few pull-ups and inclined pull-ups as well.
Played badminton with Jerald after that. We played netting, which turned out to be quite fun. Played table tennis after that. Won Jerald once and lost 3 straight rounds to Jerald and Minhui, with Allen as my partner. However, despite the outcome, it is the fun that matters.
The highlight of the day, as mentioned earlier happened during the first doubles match. Allen did a perfect smash. It landed near the edge, nice curve, nice strength etc. He started to celebrate this and ran to the barriers surrounding the table tennis area. He jumped and with one feet already over, he climbed the other leg over. Somehow, he tripped and down he goes, right in front of our very eyes. We were shocked and "BOOM", 75% of the barricade toppled. Allen started laughing on the ground. I was the nearest and went to check him out. We all felt worried for him but at the same time, cant stop laughing. Most of us crouched while laughing. Cant take it. You will do the same if you are there as well.
Went to bathe after that and went to Mensa for lunch. I ordered drinks for everyone. This is what ordered: 4 large Bandung (forgot about the spelling), 1 small Bandung, 1 large milo, 1 large fruit punch and a Fun Choy at a price of $9.60. The Auntie had a hard time preparing. Lol. I had a hard time bringing them to the tables. Carried 6 drinks in a tray but my muscles cannot take it as they kept shaking. Took 4 cups instead but still struggling. Used too much strength in the morning. Took me 3 journeys to bring all the things to the table.
Shall cut short here. After lunch, went to lecture, which we were late for about 15 minutes. Lecture for the week can be considered half lecture, half olive, if you get what I mean.
Went to the lab with all those who still had lessons. How Cher and I went to free access lab to print CMA notes instead. Saw Bridget and Fathima instead. Went back to the lab to find the rest.
How Cher and I went to Biz Park to buy some food as he is hungry. Went to OTCM tutorial, which was tiring. How Cher and Kok Soon cannot stop laughing at what I wrote for the last quiz. One of the functions was: To coat the fecal matter with a layer of oil. I remembered the keywords only: coat, fecal and oil. I forgot the structure so I wrote: To coat a layer of fecal oil. LOLOLOLOL.
After lesson, rain was pouring heavily. Waited in Biz Park with How Cher for rain to stop before taking bus 15, then bus 27.
Next surprise. Saw Wanni on the bus. Had a long chat with her for about 75% of the journey. I think we talked quite loudly.
Got a call from mom to go to Aunt's place to get a can opener. The can opener is spoilt. She tried to borrow from one of our neighbours but it was spoilt as well. The one I got from Aunt was spoilt as well. Lol.
Called Yanling but she was not at home. Called Wilson but he did not picked up. Wanted to find Royston but then another neighbour walked past and so, managed to borrow from him.
Shall stop here. Quite a long post.
