The past 4 days were super hectic for me.
I've never been so tired like that for a long time. However, I'm glad its now all over.
Wednesday, I woke really early to get somethings done. And there was meeting cum lunch with my guppies-buddies at 2pm at, Bukit Timah Market. Talked and talked, then head down to Ngee Ann for practice at 4:30pm.
Practice was very long for some reason, but it must've been because of that I've not taken my dinner and was terribly famished. Practice was very hardcore and we practised till we were all exhausted. It ended at about 9:30pm and we headed down to Mcds for our late dinner and reached back home at nearly midnight.
Thursday, Met caine at Bugis at about 12. He returned me back my leather shoes and unexpectedly, along with my giant camping bag. Left at about 1 plus and headed down to Ngee Ann. We assembled our instruments and had a rehearsal and soon we left for our Sentosa performance.
The venue was nice, as it was held at the Sentosa Pavillion. The crowd wasn't that bad. The sucky thing was that we weren't allowed to take the food or the drinks even. When we left and waiting for the bus, we played illegally at the bus stop. Hahaha. There were some sporty passerby dancing to our songs. Cute. (:
Headed back to school and went for dinner together at Al-Almeem.
Friday. We had to report at 8am in the morning back at Ngee Ann for another performance at Chinese Garden. It was for Hong Kah secondary school's Cross country event. The starting was a little dull but soon enough, the students were hyped up and some even breaked danced! Not to mention, it was very obvious those guy students were checking out our female Baracuda's members. Cheeky lar. At the end, it felt quite good.
When leaving the place, we caught a criminal in action! A student was pee-ing behind some trees and our bus, full of the Baracuda people managed to see everything. Hahaha!
Met Tim in the afternoon. I was super exhausted. Went to suntec and checked out Comex/I.T Fair, get his puzzle thing at marina square and back to tanglin club. I was feeling super and duper shagged. Damnit. Reached home at 11.
Saturday! It was thanksgiving dinner 2008 at Oldham Hall. Not too bad. Managed to see some old friends and taken photos. Just ended up at the table of China-Immigrants. But we managed to blend into another table. Haha. The GOH was really cute lar. Lol. He mentioned, 'I'm sorry to the Anderson Prinicipal, BUT I THINK ACS IS STILL THE BEST.' Win already lar. Got guts to say that. Hahaha. After the dinner, there was dance-night. Reached home by 12 midnight. Damn.
Thats about it for my boring update post.

hi blog readers of the world out there!I apologise for my terrible absence of my wonderful green blog.
I admit i miss writing it and displaying my thoughts unto this.
However, the reason I am writing and finally updating the blog because of a great incident has struck to me right at this moment.
I've been told that one of my grand aunt is at hospital now, under care. She's suffering from cancer and it seem that... she's not going to make it.
She was actually recovering from her illness but somehow, the cancer cells were spread to her brain and have now, affected her whole body. Including in memory and speech.
However it is, I want to see her. Honestly.. the feeling sucks. Seeing her lying on the bed, with all those tubes attached to her and being under the drip... feels so painful. She has trouble speaking. It really hurt me most on that part. It was difficult to make out what she was saying and yet, you can feel so helpless about it. I felt helpless. I felt the tears in my eyes but had to hold it back on.
She's not really very close to me but I see her annually during the 2nd day of chinese new year when she invites my family and relatives for lunch. I'm not prepared to not see her anymore around.
As much as I dont want to see her go, there isn't much I'm able to do.
And yet, I've never felt so disheartened this badly when just trying to talk to a dying person. It was like the hardest thing you ever have to try. You don't know what to say or how to say it as well. All I could do was just stand there and look.
But when we were about to leave, I gave her a pat on the shoulder and hold her hand, and said 'Take care'.
Sigh.
