Eight words. Today is the happiest day of my life.
Eight words. They mean a lot.
Okay! Okay! It's one of the top ten best days of my life. To know what it is, we have to start all from the beginning.
Today's the National Day Celebration in NYGH. Right after Blocks. They're soooooooooo smart (ahem.. this is sarcastic o.O), they actually have to put it on the day right after Blocks, so we didn't really think about the mascot design or whatever. But back to the celebrations. So this morning, we had this Uniformed Group marching thingie, and singing of Marikita and the school song and the pledge and one national day parade song all during assembly. Imagine how swelteringly hot it was. Anyway, after that, we went back to class and did this NE Quiz thingie online on Etsuko's account as a class. But practically two thirds of the class forgot to bring their thermometers, so we lost a lot of brains in the process. Not literally of course. So the rest of us (see?! I'm so guai. I acutually brought my thermometer!) anyhow did the quiz together and we searched the Net for the answers too (heh heh) Oh, and Gwoshchokesbutt was anyhow giving answers. So was Mr T. Fastforward. When we finished with that, some of us did the impromptu (not really, but poorly planned) class mascot (YI XIN!!!!) and the others did the speech thingnummie.
Lets fastforward to the part in the Rooftop Hall. At first I thought it would be quite warm, with the entire Secondary 1 popualtion squished inside plus the NYSC peeps and the teachers. But not really. Oh! And Ms Yeoh was damn funny lors (check the photos!) So Yi Xin, our mascot, didn't win the mascot competition thingie. But who cares? We tried our best (: And that song Li Shuen composed all by herself was amazing and kinda cute :D And we sang a lot of national day songs at the roof top hall, and it was so noisy. And we forced Mr T and Wang Lao Shi to come to our class. Twice. Hahas. Oh! And there were lots of balloons around, and a white balloon got stuck behind a fan!!!!!!!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO We were like screaming, but eventually, it came down :P
YES!!!!! My favourite part!!! So after school, Yan Li, Cheryl, Shin Yee and I walked to the bus stop in front of Shell (7-Eleven--memories of Slurpie!) and boarded 170. It came just in time. But when the bus reached the bus stop in front of NYGH and NJC, there were like thousands of people coming in (okay, you get what I mean), and the bus was packed like sardines. It took an ultra long time (a thousand and one bus stops in total XP) to reach Newton MRT Station, but we eventually did. From there, we took an MRT to Outram Park, and to Harbourfront. Yes, we went to.....
VIVO CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool lors!!! And the first shop we entered was Candy Empire or something. I forgot the name -.- Anyway, I didn't really shop there 'cause I was on the phone with Mummy. And she let me take MRT home!!!!! But anyway, afterwards, Yan Li and I were dragged to the top level to that pool place. And the two of them (Shin Yee and Cheryl) were like bugging me to go (Yan Li said yes after a while). But I didn't :D I went to Daiso instead to walk around while they were splashing about unglamly (ahem, ahem. tsk-tsks the three unglam people :P) And when I was in Daiso, thinking over if I should buy this cute thingie or that cute thingie, Shin Yee called me and said they were going to change liaos. So I had to run all the way back under the hot sun. And when I arrived back at the bench where we dumped our bags, Cheryl plunked her wet hand on my back. Brilliant.
So after changing in a toilet (Cheryl took ages), Yan Li, Shin Yee and I gave up waiting for her and went first to buy tickets to 2:00 Up. But OMT, the queue in front of GV was like, not in front of GV at all! It was out of GV! When we were about to reach the counter (okay, not really about) Cheryl called us and said she couldn't find GV. She was at Singtel, and she suggested going to Bugis to watch the movie instead (our original plan was to go Bugis). So we said yes, and headed back to Singtel to meet her. But when we got there, she said she was at Burger King! And we didn't know where was Burger King! So after stonning in front of Singtel for a while, I called Cheryl, and she said she had already found GV! And then she asked, "You mean you're not in the cinema anymore arh?" It was so diaos lors. So we decided to meet at Food Republic, 'cause we were like practically starving.
At Food Republic, it was so darn crowded. But we found a seat :D Four seats, actually. No, two benches. Long benches. Okay, I had a Korean Beef BBQ, and when I arrived back at the table, Cheryl was sitting there, looking tired. Then she complained to me (I think), "You know I walked the entire second level of Vivo City!" Hahas. Shin Yee bought chicken wings for us to share, but I only ate one. We were supposed to eat two each. And Cheryl devoured two. Acutally, there were drumsticks too. Then lo and behold!!!!!!!
YAN LI ATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When she returned with her tray of quite a large bowl of noodles, I immediately took a picture of it (look up) so that I have proof :D After that, Cheryl also eventually bought Korean Chicken BBQ. And OMT, she ate so UNGLAMMLY!!!!! It was so funny lors!! Because Shin Yee and Yan Li and I were all done with our food liaos, so we were left with nothing but to stare at Cheryl eating. So unglam XXXXXXXXP No offense, but she was eating like a barbarian. And she said (later on) that she ate more unglammly at home. OMT. She actually splashed a little sauce on her white part of her top. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Too bad I didn't take a pic ): Yes, stop laughing Cheryl. After that, they bought fruit juice and I didn't. Cheryl and Yan Li shared a lime juice while Shin Yee had a strawberry juice. Yuk. Hahas.
Then I think we went to the arcade. We were like walking around while Cheryl was trying out some of the machines. I also played a little of this Street Basketball thingie, and got 4 balls in! Yays~! Hahas. Then we played this hit-hit thingie (I suddenly forgot the name) on the table twice. And Cheryl and I won twice! I think it was Cheryl. But I was defending (: Then Cheryl queued up for this dancing thingie, and it took really long. There were like 5 rounds, and she was forcing us to go up. Shin Yee and Yan Li did after a while, but I stayed put :D Anyway, just to let you know, after approximately ten seconds, both of them came down and Cheyrl did all the 5 rounds :D
After arcade, we took MRT to Bugis. We went to the ticketing booth to buy the tickets to Up, but apparently, Cheryl had seen the wrong timing. The only time we could make it there was like 2:50, and guess what?! I looked at my watch, at it said "2:51". So we didn't watch a movie. We went to take Neos, and guess who we met?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
ying tong, rebecca, fiona and ting ting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was the one who told the rest, "Hey, look at those feet-NYGH socks!" Because they were at the "adding-on" machine thingie, and only their legs were showing. Then Shin Yee went forward and opened the curtain. I didn't know why at that time. Then everyone started screaming when we realised who it was behind the curtains. I think Shin Yee recognised Ting Ting's bag. It was on the floor. Anyways, we took our Neos (so darn fun, and Cheryl took out her jeans :P) and drew on them. But we didn't draw on a few, and on one of the Neos, Yan Li had a very funny expression on her face. So, I, being naughty (heh hehs), draw lines (like you know, those around the sun) around her face. Hahas. I shan't say anything about Shin Yee on two of the Neos, because it's censored XP
We went to MYUK, and I bought this wallet for $29. It was chosen by Cheryl, actually. Hahas. Then we walked around, although our legs were like aching liaos. Cheryl bought badges, and Shin Yee bought earrings. We went to Starbucks and shared a drink. Yes, all of us shared an Ice Chocolate or something. It was so fun!!! And COOL!!! It was like, we stuck all four of our straws into the cup, and we made our own little markings. Like I bent my straw.
After Starbucks, we walked back to the basement, 'cause that's where Bugis MRT Station is. And Cheryl ran through the fountains, and she didn't get wet :P She ran under it, actually. Then we reached Bugis MRT, and we said bye-bye to Cheryl, and Yan Li and Shin Yee and I took the train that goes the opposite direction of the train Cheryl was taking. Yan Li alighted at the next stop, and I alighted at Outram Park, again. I said bye bye to Shin Yee, and took the North-East line back to Serangoon and walked back home.
So, we're back to square one.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love today!!!!!!!!! It's the first time I took MRT on my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear, this is so not the last time I'm going shopping (obviously) :DDDDDDD
