When the sun shines, we’ll shine together(:

(Put on the records, replay, we’re now living the day of 20th October 2009)
HELLO HELLO HELLLLLO!:D
I’m in a relatively quite good mood ’cause I had a good laugh watching the korean drama with my mum while munching on my favourite sour thingy(:
I just completed the NE survey and seriously, it’s really one of those rare surveys where I could relate so well to it! & know something, it’s all thanks to social studies. The survey was mostly ’bout total defence and racial harmony which really brings back all that information that I’ve memorised for social studies exam! There was this statement which says “I know when Total Defence is commemorated” and like lightening, 2 BIG words appeared in my brain: FIFTEEN FEBRUARY. It seems like a small thing but before I studied social studies in Sec 3, I can’t remember when we commemorate total defence day so it’s considered as an achievement! But of course, I know more pro and cheem stuff like the third generation SAF yada yada. WHOO, all that studying is surprisingly still surviving in my brain. Not bad, brainie:D

Heh, so let’s see what I’ve done with my time so far.
1) Sleep.
2) Eat.
3) Watch tv.
4) More sleep, eat and tv.
Oh my geese, I feel guilty somehow. Though exams are over but I think, I might have overly slacked and overly misused my time. HAHAH. I don’t feel as happy as I thought I would be when exams were over, which is really weird. I know that I should start practicing for chinese O which is really nearing, but I can’t bring myself to pick up the pencil, sit down dilligently at the table, open my eyes widely, and be determined to finish up the practices at a certain time. And piano too, it’s just makes sense to use my short-lived free time to go brush up my pieces. I know that’s the most sense-ful thing to do now, but howww now brown cow? It’s always the most sense-ful thing that we end up not doing and the most sense-less thing that we end up spending the whole day on. Nehmind, I’ll take comfort in that by sticking my butt to the chair and fingers to the keys in a few minutes(:

Okay, I don’t wanna talk about such boring things anymore so I shall talk about SATURDAY!:D It’s going to be very, very lengthy and it’s not ’cause I’m long winded or I’ve no summary skills, it’s just that there were so many things that happened that I’ve to type all of them now to preserve this memory:D
WE: VANES, RUTH, ESTHER, MAAN AND I WENT TO RUTH’S HOUSE! How cool is that! very cool right. I’m so glad that we managed to meet up before we get our papers back (you see, I can never seem to detach myself from exam/studies-related stuff, tsk. Too faithful a student.):D Since my house is quite near to Ruth’s which is near serangoon gardens, vanes, esther and maan 136-ed to serangoon gardens circle to meet me there. We decided to go to the temporary NTUC nearby to get our ingredients but we couldn’t find the cookie mix so we went to cold storage. Ruth wanted to make muffins and her house doesn’t have the necessary equipment so I carried them along with me. Oh, and I brought the self raising flour too, which was leftover from making vanes’s farewell cake. At first, vanes, esther and maan weren’t really keen on doing the muffins but I was so bu4 gan yuan4 since I actually dragged all the stuff from my house, so in the end they just relented(:

We had some really funny conversations while buying the stuff and I saw this really prettily wrapped fruit bar, so I was thinking whether to buy it or not. In the end, I did! But it’s so true that we can’t judge someone/thing by it’s cover. The fruit bar tasted awfully weird? Actually, it’s not that bad, so I convinced ruth to share it with me, ’cause I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish the whole thing by myself. I stuck that pretty wrapper in my diary(:

The minute we stepped out of the air-conditioned cold storage, sweat drenched us. We were sweating “madly, deeply, truly” (This song’s really funny. I still remember when esther and I heard it over Tracy’s phone we were laughing our heads off). hahaha! Took a super duper long walk to ruth’s house and we were a little lost, like we didn’t know whether we had to cross the road or not, so ruth just told us to walk straight till we see her. While we were walking, esther and I got into this heated arguement ’bout how it’s only right that friends like each other in a friend way and not hate their friends. I mean, if you are someone’s friend, obviously you like your friend and not hate her/him, since he/she is your friend! Then esther said that for my case, it’s an exception ’cause she hates me even though we are friends. ESTHER NEO WEI SHAN, how bold of you, nehmind, you are forgiven since I like you(: (ai4 de4 li4 liang4~)HAHAHA. So we were quarreling ’bout that which made all of us laugh in the end:D After much bright glares from the sun rays, we saw an even brighter ray of light-ruth, meaning that we were near her house, the end of the torture from the red, hot sun.

According to ruth, her mum wasn’t in the mood to fix the oven so the pro ones, maan and I, helped to fix it while vanes and esther were enjoying the cool air in the living room, tsk, but actually, the oven didn’t need any fixing at all, ’cause all those extra stuff wasn’t needed for baking anyway:p So, vanes, esther and maan made the cookies while ruth and I made the muffins. Ruth and I were happily getting the things ready and cracking eggs and sifting flour in the hugeeee bowl, when we suddenly realised, “OH MY GEESE! We are suppose to put the butter and the sugar in first!:o” In the end, we just put all the ingredients anyhow-ly, we didn’t care which had to go into the bowl first. At first, I was a little worried ’cause we are suppose to follow the steps, to see which ingredients have to be mixed first etc, if not why are they there. Then ruth made this really stupid/cute but make-sense comment “It’s all going to be mixed together in the end what.” hahaha! Isn’t that true? Well, we also not pros mah so we just laughed it off and add in whatever we wanted without any order! On the other side of the kitchen table, vanes, esther and maan were preparing the cookie mix then somehow we started playing with flour and with the mixture that we were mixing. Flour on the faces, mix on the shirts and our muffin mix was all so gooey and so we concluded, if the recipe said to add in the eggs first and the milk second, we have to add in the eggs first. BUT, the muffins still turned out rather nice in the end!:D We found ruth’s mum’s blender beside the sink so we decided to use it to make our very own fantastic fruit juice. The clever maan managed to figure out how to operate it when the rest of us were scratching our heads! We put in star fruit, kiwi and orange and it turned out really delicious. OH WAIT. I just remembered that esther and I put in a cup of this juice at the back of the freezer and we forgot all about it:o I think it’s still there now, hahahah! I better go tell ruth.

After all that playing and washing, we put the cookies in to the oven to be baked first and we went to watch this Jap movie “Sky of Love”, which was so funnaye! There was this scene which actually happened in the library and it was gross and brazen. Fine, we all laughed at the inappropriate moments but it was so sad when the male lead died in the end due to cancer): Thank you, ruth’s daddy for buying back lunch for us!

After the movie, some went to check the cookies or muffins, while the rest of us just started lazing on the sofa. I felt a little tired, so I hugged this huge cushion and closed my eyes. Everything was just right; the air-con was on, I felt happy, the chair that I was on is so comfy, for a little good sleep. Then, vanes had to spoil it all. She let her hair down and pretended to be a female ghost, with an ill intention of scaring me when I open my eyes, but ’cause I was too smart, that didn’t succeed. So, she took other cushions and started throwing at me. Isn’t she mean? Torture a sleeping girl, vanes ah. But, I started throwing cushions towards her too and we had a pillow fight, which was so relieving! It brought back so many childhood memories, childish it may be, but what matters is that we had fun doing that!:D Ruth and maan went to check on the muffins or cookies, so I decided to hide behind the sofa, which was a really small space so they wouldn’t find me there and when they seat on the sofa, I’ll slowly and very carefully sneak up behind them and give them a good scare. But again, vanes spoilt it! She kept shouting “Min’s hiding behind the sofa. Min’s hiding behind the sofa.” Tsk, I wanted to play a good game of hide&seek, but in the end, I couldn’t):

Around 6, vanes had to leave for her hotel stay so the very nice us decided to walk her out to the bus stop and wait for the bus with her. The sun was blazing and scorching but I took this opportunity to get myself burnt. I really wanted to be sun burnt and see the redness, but to no avail. Though it’s damaging and harmful for the skin, it’s actually a once in a life time dream/wish. Which I guess would never be fulfilled. After sending vanes off, we went back to ruth’s house and while ruth was having a shower, maan, esther and I were thinking about what we could do. I suggested to go to East Coast Park or some place to watch the sun set ’cause I’ve never seen it on land before and it would be so exciting to witness one of nature’s wonders! But, maan and esther said that by the time we get there and back, it would be too late, so there goes another dream/wish not fulfilled. Nehmind, there would be another time right!(:

So the next thing we decided to do was to play cards!:D
We played cheat, heart attack (with cards), stress and something else. I haven’t played all 4 before except stress and guess what I was the first to win! The three of them were so amazingly impressed with me and therefore I had such a fun time playing cards with them. It was coming to 7 and ruth had to go for dinner with her family so we all decided to pack up and make our way home. Now, here’s the problem. Outside ruth’s house, in her garden, there was this thing, a living thing. It was furry, had eyes, nose, ears, mouth with sharp teeth, short/long tail, stripe-ful and last of all, it possesses the ability to M-E-O-W. Therefore, the problem is THE CAT. Since esther and I are scared of cats, ruth carried it while we quickly took our slippers and ran out of the house. Once ruth locked the gate, the cat started sticking it’s head through the space between the gate and the ground. It really looked like it could crawl through there.

Esther: It’s head! Can it come out?
Ruth: No no! It wont. -Smiles-
I: Are you sure it can’t squeeze through ’cause…
[Cat decides to push it’s head further out and was having this ill intention of crawling out]
Esther: Ruthhhhhh~
I: It’s going to come out, it’s coming out!
Esther and I: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -Screams and runs-
We screamed so loudly that after we stopped, we could hear the echo! But thankfully, the cat went back in. What a sigh of relief.

There! This kind of sums up what happened on that really beautiful and fun day!
To esther, vanes, maan and ruth:
Thank you for allowing me to have such a wonderful saturday and letting me laugh till my stomach was aching and my cheek muscles from numbing. Our friendship goes quite a long way and we’ve gone through so much together, despite rain or shine. We’ve been standing by each other for everything that we’ve experienced, being there for one another no matter how hard the times are. Every single thing that we’ve done together has so much sentimental value to me and I’m really very thankful for all of you for being such good friends to me. Each one of you have taught me a lot of different things in life and how I should treasure myself, my friends, my family and those around me. You, you, you and you is a chapter of my life that I believe will never close because we’ll have this endless friendship that will connect all of us in tough, happy, sad times.
Thank you for always being such a good friend and for being who you are(:

We'll all come back together; in times of sadness or joy(:
