one weekend has been exhausted!

but in a good way i suppose. friday's army visit was fun but tiring. again, i dont know how much i can say so i just wont say more! but it has truly been a great time! dozed off a few times but man the stuff that we did :] anw silly me went back home and still didnt know how to sleep early, so i woke up for banner painting the next morning feeling like a zombie. plus it didnt help that the mosquito foggers decided to fog us in school. set my more-than-sensitive nose off right away into sniffles. this was on top of the stench of paint which by that time had alrdy clung on to me and my clothes. but it was all worth it. sitting/squatting there painting, it reminded me how much i love doing it. mixing the colours, seeing the chalked banner come to life- your vision in your own hands. i guess that's what i like abt art. all that empty space to fill, and only i (and in this case all of us) have the power to control the materialization of smthing that's potentially magical. that sense of pride after putting it up i tell you. and this has by and far been a real team effort. banner comm really rocks cuz all of them are so dedicated and motivated and creative in their own way. im truly honoured. cant wait to share our hardwork with everyone else. of course ive been rather m.i.a recently, given my attachment and all. but its really turning out sweeter than i imagined. and that has to be good!

well it began to rain and it was time for me to meet the roadrunners! i trained down to novena and met khin&js, and we then proceeded to united square to takeaway lunch. i decided to get excellent value for money and went to subway, where the guy at the counter provided me with flawless service i must say! being as suaku as i was he was extremely helpful. i gave khin&js my snapple. ive been really careful nowadays, avoiding anything cold in fear of repurcussions. no choice i guess. so anw the sandwich was yummy and so were the cookies, which i ate on shibani's bed. js got special treatment frm shib's mom haha- her fav actor you see! and marshmallow was so kewt! he was warm and fuzzy and white and adorable and friendly all at once. like a nice sasha soft toy, except alive. haha ok jking- no he was really the first dog i cld play so easily with and truly feel no fear at all. liyana was already there, first one to arrive. we were soon joined by cc and the rp props he lugged along, much thanks to his dad. we sorta bummed arnd a bit, then went down to play badminton for a few minutes, beside the gutter i might add, haha, before proceeding to farrer courts for tennis! i figured i managed some form of improvement, but it kinda sucked i didnt put my badminton skills to good use. argh nvm. it was all in good fun! even when we all weren't that proficient, with 5 yr old kids undergoing training better than us, i think all that mattered was that we had good fun! so there! cc and i still have unfinished business on the courts btw! haha, and i think i kinda became a tad too competitive. that happens when im excited. anw the booking for one hour didnt last long and soon enough this family of four came to take our court so we had to vacate the premises (nice phrase, very official sounding, dont u think?) the walk back to lion towers seemed shorter, and i didnt really enjoy it for some reason. but oh well. marshmallow was there to cheer me up! i was half considering to kidnap it really. haha no, kidding. we (as in us, not the dog) ended up playing taboo, joined subsequently by gavin, sarah&sean. we tried playing trivial pursuit, genius version, or rather, just had a go at some of the questions. crazy! i felt so unlearned haha. like i didnt even know who bram stoker was! wheee but we had fun we did.

dinner was pizza while watching sex&thecity (of course after gavin made us watch a 12 min feature of SHM's The Old Man & The River.) frankly it was quite disappointing for me. very different humour, not smthing i wld go back to quite willingly. very sexual a show, maybe too much, but it was kinda funny at parts, esp kimcatrall- thumbs up for that effortless orgasmic face! sean left soon after, but we continued with slap her she's french! it was hilarious overall, but most of it i was distracted by marshmallow barking at gavin, whom he didnt really like, we hypothesized, becuz of his rainbow shirt. during kill bill later, we took turns to bathe. naughty marshmallow found his wet nose onto liyana's leg! poor girl!

as midnight approached sarah's bday was over! she spent that cross over moment watching violent scenes frm the house of blue leaves. haha talk abt coming of age. it was kinda a pity we didnt celebrate the bday with a cake or smthing. we cldve made it a roadrunners tradition u know! but i guess it was difficult to plan and all. i gave sarah this rock self-painted (rather crudely but nonetheless equally meaningful i wld like to think) with a smiley face, to remind her to be happy. i think everybody needs a rock like that sometime, just to remind us that things will be okay as long as we know how to smile. wiggle your big toe. will yourself to smile!

we took a nice breezy midnight walk to newton food centre after cc showed us 15 mins of the piano. i must say i wanna watch that 'boring' movie one day. [draft saved here. im continuing after 2 days] anw it was real cool walking around in the middle of the night, just absorbing the darkness and the streelights by an empty road reminded us of roadrunners photoshoot. anw when we arrived there the few of us who were there on wed could recognize the same 'terrorist-like' tissue seller sitting down smoking and drinking beer. smthing abt him gives me the creeps he's just so mysterious you dont wanna find out. some of them ate the usual stingray and seafood but i settled for carrot cake. cc was relegated to buying a $1.50 waffle from the petrol station opposite. he got swindled, of course, totally not worth it, haha- the price you pay for not eating beautiful meat. after that they went to buy booze back frm 7-11. i only sipped a weebit and somehow we found ourselves playing games like shoot/shag/marry & i'venever in the dark. i think that made it one of the most intimate sleepovers ever. not like ive had many. in fact for pple like liyana it was her first! but we had so much fun did we! i just wish i didnt fall sick, which i sorta did. everyone had to sleep w/o the aircon becuz of me. haha but really i think its damn extravagant and unhealthy and silly to sleep with aircon thruout the night. im just not a cold person i guess.

the late night ended and somehow marshmallow found his way into the room in the morning. haha that smart dog! we found out later he can open doors with his paws. kewt eh. much thanks to savita and shib's parents, we got a very very sumptuous and delicious breakfast! eggs, ham, pancakes, toast, jam, maple syrup, butter, bacon! i was feeling rather energized and wanted to play badminton, but most of them felt sore. we ended up watching kill bill vol2. liy&sarah left early though. when it was time to go i was quite sad it was over actually, though i was so tired i just wanted to go home. but i really missed it. did i mention how nice shib's house is? and her pictures of saibaba! somehow comforting cuz of my late grandma. sigh. well, that was it. i must really take this chance to thank all of them roadunners! i guess the official journey ended there huh. a pity nick wasnt there! special thanks to shib and her wonderful parents who were so nice to us! it was one heck of an experience.

i went back home really sick and moody. ate lunch at 4 and slept till 10 plus. felt idiotic for wasting one whole day like that. grrr. sleepovers do that to you you know. makes you so irritable and all. but maybe its just me.

monday was exceptionally good fun! thank god im not allowed to reveal too much abt it but we bascially had great fun at changi naval base! great pple, good food, cool goodies! its not such a bad idea to travel around the world on water huh? meet lots of pple and all? talking with some seniors over there certainly helped. and im more excited abt my future now, instead of plainly fearing it, i think im starting to work towards it and embrace it. oh yeah check this out!

anw yesterday i was watching Rent, which was fantastic btw, loved the leads esp. mimi & roger, and joanne & maureen were tops too, vocally flawless; and it suddenly struck me so hard that i really wanna do that too! like stand up on stage, and act and sing at the same time! the performers really blew me away more than the storyline itself. the songs were just so groovy and modern it was hardly boring as some musicals can get at times. my favourites were seasons of love (of course), most of roger's songs, esp when he sang light my candle with mimi, and the song in third person, what you own btwn him and mark was two thumbs up! on the whole, very entertaining and just so thrilling to watch. everything was colourful and energetic and new york funky. karen mok never looked more sexyy i tell you-cant believe i actually got to see her live!!! whee! so much for being some hongkee female assassin in So Close, this just goes to prove how versatile and talented she is :]]

i really hope i get the chance to do that one day! haha but i'll have to dream a bit longer i think. it wld be such a privilege to perform on broadway! just found out we're gonna catch a broadway musical, the producers, in US! really excited! we got balcony seats but im gonna bring my binoculars! imagine that! broadway you know! once in a lifetime kinda thing! the briefing earlier that day psyched us up a hell lot for the trip i think. as i saw planes take off frm atop a ship at changi on monday, i cldnt wait for it to be our turn! next tuesday! start packing boy!

banner is coming along great and i must say i feel real bad for being so m.i.a. i sat in for dinner at marche with ced, ziing, stef, pui on monday. it was very homely just sitting there talking abt stuff ya know. i felt so at home. im glad im at least wanted in places. haha. ok what am i talking abt. anw i guess the sense of belonging is building lah, in school and all. it cant stop growing, smtimes it gets broken, but for now, it's fixed! anw the orchard xmas decor i tell you! just shouting out for one big celebration! i really hope i get to do smthing fun and memorable for xmas this year! class party sounds fun! esp with secret santa and all. haha if youre my secret santa, i think you shld refer to my xmas wishlist! let's see:

(in no particular order)
1) ashlee simpson's I Am Me
2) bonnie mckee's Trouble
3) new cool school bag!
4) contacts!
5) good books!
6) nice crazy clothes/shoes!
7) a white christmas tree
8) my very own rock band
9) go iceskating
(and so much more. but actually i just wanna be merry:])

and all you so called friends better get me smthing cuz im probably gonna be thinking of you in US! let it snow let it snow let it snow!

today was exceptionally fun again! despite missing airforce yest, i was told i didnt miss much except for the chinook ride anw, today really saw some quality bonding btwn all of us, i daresay :] it was mostly very draggy visits i must admit, but i really appreciate the geniuses behind all that science. we spent most of our time playing those story guessing games, some of which were, frankly disturbing, but really enlightening and just good fun to play along with! brainteasers! like solving a crime and piecing all the clues together. all that talk and laughter really made up for an otherwise lacklustre day. i was in a pretty good mood. plus reuben was tolerable. haha. yayy!

to top it all off, msn decided to be adorable:
