weekend recollection

i'm too busy.

say that with no tone at all. say that flatly. say that without exaggerating. say that without desperation. say that without resigned tone. just say it as if you'd say, i'm reading newspaper, or i'm blogging.

that's how i would say it. flat. with no sign of resignation or desperation. without emotion. that's because busy has become one with me. it's nothing new really. i'm always busy. i'm always not around. i always have things to do. i always find things to do. and in the end, these things only shorten my life expectancy really. but why then, do i do all these things? and i'd say it again with the same flat tone: i don't know.

that's what happened with my weekend now. i literally burn every single hours of my weekend doing stuffs around.

let's start with saturday. i left freakin' early for touch rugby, with j, sher and chel. too early in fact. we ate our breakfast at west coast park and talking nonsensical things waiting for my block to actually arrive. it wasn't until half an hour later that they come in drove. was i happy or not? blah. well, we did some warm up and then we played touch rugby. simple right? yeah. simple. i only played for awhile though. i've ankle problem yesterday. it's very pain and i've no idea why. sigh. there's this freshie who's very eager to play and never let anyone else play. everytime there's substitution, he'd rush in and play. and no. he's not that great a player. sigh. give others the chance man.

anyway, forget about touch. just remember the fact that it burns my whole morning until 130pm in the afternoon. oh, and it's not over yet! it's just that i need to go for another training. that's why i left. i watched all the way until the last girls' c-block match. there were 1 or 2 more games after that, but none involving c-block, so i left. training was super shiong. we got punished twice with fifty jumping jacks. i refreshed some stuffs during training. some things i totally forgot already. i was quite, erm, paiseh. as in, i completely forgot that such things exist. i mean, come on, nobody could be so brainless right?

well after training, i was so drained. but then i had a dinner with my secondary school mates. so i ended up rushing to the dinner from training. they are very funny. out of all places, they choose cpf building, next to tanjong pagar mrt. the place: sakae sushi. reason: that's the only sakae sushi that has buffet on saturday. argh!! what kind of twisted logic! sigh. but we had some fun. we met with bryan, my ex classmate who now resides in canada, he's university final year already. wow. then there were sean, cs, tc, vin, yh, wk and km. it's amazing really. out of the nine of us, 3 are staying in kr (2 in a-block and i'm in c-block). another staying at eusoff. yet another two are staying at sheares. and one more at pgp. adrian didn't come. i think it's still because he's still not in talking term with vin up until now. the ntu guys weren't there too. edwin probably busy with his girlfriend. jeffrey (nus) is probably also busy with his girlfriend. well too bad lar. they got girlfriends and none of us have one (except vin, i think). no wonder we're eating there together right? nobody to accompany us out during weekends! lol! don't get me wrong though, i'm glad i broke up with her a few months ago (hm, over six months ago already. that's fast!).

wait. i'm going down to tahpow dinner first. scared all the good food is gone. shall continue soon.

. . .

oooookkkkaaaayyyyyy

i went down at 7pm and came back up at 10pm. what did i tell you about being busy. initially, i planned to pack my food and come back up and sleep. at the end, i ended up eating with c-blockers. then i went up to my friend's room in a-block to borrow something. ended up playing with floorball stick (since a-block was supposed to be playing floorball then). tze ended up asking me to help wk (yes the same wk as the one up there in the entry) carry floorball sticks down to mpsh. then i played around for awhile with kimchi. when the c-blockers also came down to train for handball. ended up i also hung around to train a bit. and now i'm up here, i'm supposed to go down again soon to return some stuffs. i think i won't be able to finish this blog entry before i actually collapsed.

so back to the sakae sushi gay date. vin was, as usual, damn loud! luckily the place was very empty, there were only another 2 groups eating there. but nevertheless, i could hear his voice from outside the shop. embarrassing huh? but that's what we're to cope with for the rest of the day. vin and his 'charismatic jokes' and my bad words. no, no, i don't usually spit out bad words. it's just that vin is a little nuts and he really love it when i say an expanded version of the following two letters: f u. so he kept going at me so that i said the phrase. apparently i have that way of saying 'f u' that makes you think that the phrase is some sort of praise or what. what the hell? yes, you are right, i also think so, what the hell!

we also got to share some of the more recent rumours and gossips. like the fact that one of our most bully-able batch mate recently got a girlfriend at sunway. or the fact that peter (the most unruly boy one year our junior) becomes a freshie at sunway too. or the more recent gossip on the infamous kelvin tan.

. . .

what the... i went down to return some stuffs, as i said earlier. ended up going for mj's birthday party in lounge and then got dragged into c-block handball meeting. and i didn't get to return the stuffs because my friend was sleeping!

. . .

back to kelvin tan. omg. i still remember how we all hate him. especially my class. nobody in my class likes him. they used to ostracize me in sec 3, but in sec 4, we were quite a close clique of friends already. for him, it's the other way round. after first semester in sec 3, he was ostracized all the way 'til now! yes, up until now. his jc classmates weren't very accepting as well. why? there were so many reasons, mainly his arrogance. he's also incapable of perceiving how other people feel. yesterday we shared stories about how he, at 5am in the morning, always set his alarm clock (which is a linkin park song from his laptop) ringing and go shower without bothering to switch the song off. wk happened to be his roommate, and he was like bloody pissed every morning because of that. that's just one of course. the best thing is that everyone, mind you, everyone, remembers how he always bring Bible around. it's of course an exaggeration. but everyone never ceased to make jokes about him and his Bible. sigh. i wonder how somebody who claimed to be so devout (and even maintain an outward appearance of spiritually devout) could have such a bad attitudes. oh, he also tried to convert some people. of course, the only thing he managed to do is to drive them away even more. sigh.

ah, talking about outward appearance. long argument huh? i can put up one really good argument. salt of the earth and city in the hill. we are like beacon of Jesus. the closer we're to Jesus, the more He should manifest in our outward appearance. if other people perceive you as, say, lazy, or gossipy, or perverted, then how?

and no, i'm not talking about other people, i talk about myself. i confess that i'm not the best in maintaining Godliness. in fact, i haven't even been going to church for quite long (emphasis on quite). i swear quite a bit. i complain even more, as you can see from my blog. i always lag behind in lectures and tutorial works. oh, and i bitch around too. etc. so the previous paragraph is really for me. and thanks to a certain somebody who reminded me of that. very indirectly. but still, it got me to think.

ah, enough talking about yesterday. suffice to know that i reached back at 11pm and started working on my 2 non-academic projects. there was only 1 project yesterday, but i took up another one today.

so today. i didn't wake up for frisbee soccer. i was simply too tired from yesterday. so i woke up at 10am, continued doing my projects, and went to pgp for lunch with my friends. then i went to swimming carnival. happened that there's this d-blocker girl offering us a ride. so we rode on, three of us and the girl and her dad. swimming carnival results: we maintained last year's performance, 4th and 5th place for girls and guys.

reached back hall (again i took a ride on my friend's car, this time a guy. we squeezed 6 people in), and went on to play a game with an a-blocker. we played for almost 2 hours. after sometime of playing nonsensical things, we played real game. i lost of course, 2-1. 15-4, 15-16, 15-8. blah. i made so many mistakes in the third set and i was slacking around in the second set. never mind. shall improve more. oh, and during dinner, deb was complaining that i didn't ask her to play also. i completely forgot ): because my friend jio me to play and i was like going down immediately without really remembering that you also wanted to play. sorry girl. really sorry. maybe next week, if you're in the hall also. deb, yl and joncley. i shall remember these names. next week must remember to jio.

anyway, the remaining stories of my yesterday was already up there. in the middle of my story about two days ago. (note the change in the day, it's past midnight already, so today becomes yesterday and yesterday becomes two days ago.)

all right. i'm too tired to do anything else other than recollection and blabbering. so i shall stop here and start thinking of a title for this post. btw, this is the longest time i took to blog one entry ever since quite a few months ago (ah yes, the early days of this blog, i can take half a day to post one entry. well, at least it wasn't as bad as my previous 3 blogs, all three now defunct).

signing off.
