18 may:
went to church in the morning to help out with the food fun fair.
me and chris cleared the tables and took out the trash.
there was this boy who dumped his drink packet in the black plastic bag i was holding and said "to the garbage collector!"
EXCUSE ME?? garbage collectors don't wear off shoulder tees and denim miniskirts like I DO. chris was laughing.
anyway, bumped into Arra and soon 3 of us were talking about our lives. we 3 were in the same primary school, see.
ah. good times good times. i'm now what? going 15? and primary school life seemed ages away...
went home and bathed after that, to prepare myself 3 hours beforehand to the start of michelle's sweet 16 party.
yep. i need 3 hours to bathe, blow dry my hair, eat lunch, pack my bag, choose my shoes and curl my hair.
sometimes a girl's life is really stressful xD
my mom came home early to help me curl my hair. its fun. like getting a makeover (:
the result? oh God i looked gorgeous (at least, that's what my mom said...she said i looked like Vanessa with the curly black hair and the printed sundress)
so i went to bedok south happily to wait for pei shan to pick me and see voon up (;
we met liew yung at the lagoon. he was carrying his guitar. we were walking here and there, confused, because as it turned out, michelle got the pit numbers mixed up!!
i was sweating like hell. everyone was. ps already lost her temper and was screaming at mich on the phone. me, see voon and liew yung, however, remained cool-headed.
reached pit 46 1 hour and 20 minutes later. (yes people, we got lost)
i can't believe liew yung ran all the way while we 3 girls took the cab. i feel bad suggesting the idea that he run ahead to check the pits :(
worse still, he followed what i said T.T
saw chloe, joseph, linh, victor and vietnamese boys.
linh and victor tried to start the fire. well, tried to. but the wind was blowing so hard.
chloe was welcoming enough. she introduced us to tony, benedict and alex. the rest of the people i forgot all their names :( sorry.
oh, the guys managed to start the fire and they barbecued! finally! :)
joseph left early though.
after dinner, mich begged liew yung to play her a song with his guitar. he was like, shying away la! xD
i mean, i totally understand his predicament. i too have stage fright. i mean, singing in front of a lot of people???
i helped him calm his nerves by singing softly along with him.
so he played. didn't know why on earth michelle was videoing him. if i were him, i'll snatch her phone, and smash it into itsy bitsy pieces. LOL
he didn't screw it. in fact, he was fine. he was singing 'guardian angel' then i felt so overwhelmed.
i was transported 5 months ago, where this guy sang the same song to me.
and hearing liew yung sing, made me feel so sad. i wanted to cry. i didn't know what hit me.
ps and see voon were like, 'its ok'
but ok, i wasn't VERY SAD to the extent. i didn't regret knowing him at all. he was a nice guy. and still is (:
victor wandered off. that blockhead! he needed help to carry the tonnes of drinks he bought. smart move T.T
so me, ps, see voon, alex and liew yung walked around to find where he was. had a nice chat with alex.
turns out he wants to do finance in the future. but his secret dream is to be an athlete.
me: well, if you want to play sports, why take up finance?
alex: i dunno...think it's because (can't remember what he said, sorry)
liew yung: i'm taking up music. its risky!
me: if you want it, then pursue your dreams. *looks at both ly and alex*
i SO get them. its like you really want something, but you're afraid to try; afraid of failure.
oh at that time, ly was playing a spongebob 'campfire' song on his phone and he was singing the patrick part ;D
we walked back when we couldn't find victor. he already got help from this stranger T.T
i was so tired, i sat down. ly sat next to me and strum his guitar.
ok, i'm so learning guitar! i'm gonna strum like the pro (: its just so nice isn't it? just you, your guitar and a song to sing. its really peaceful...
so peaceful i was drifting off to sleep. the time? 8pm plus.
was awoken to linh's voice. turns out he bought a cake for mich! aww, so sweet.
didn't eat the cake though. too tired. fell back asleep. and woke up again. ly was nudging me. oh God, i thought, waking up in realisation, i fell asleep on his back!!
i mean, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW??
alex gave me an evil smirk. oh, right. like its my fault that happened T.T
so, still, tired, i grabbed ly's guitar and lay down on it.
alex: haha! (to ly) seems like she prefers your guitar to your shoulders!
PUH-LEEZE. well, hell yeah, i prefer the guitar xDD
alex: (to me) you tired? you wanna go home now?
me: ok.
i stand up and ly was gracious enough to accomany me home. hugged mich (happy sweet 16!)and took cab.
lucky its convenient that we both live in the same area. otherwise, i'd be lost.
i had intended to sleep in the cab (WHAT?? its air con) but me and ly chatted. well, our first conversation was about ______.
oh God. why did he wanna talk about _______ anyway?
ly: so how are you ____ ___ _______?
me: why do you wanna talk about this?
then i went on to explain certain things.
ly: i don't believe in love at first sight. do you?
me: NO. i mean, how can you tell, just by looking, you would spend your lifetime with that person?
ly: exactly my point.
then talk about couples (can't say who...)
ly: my dad loves the oldies like beatles.
me: my dad too! and jon bon jovi!
ly: he also likes paul mccartney..
me: OMG. my dad too! i saw in his ipod endless albums of paul mccartney T.T
so freaky. both our dads are paul fanatics.
oh listened to jonas brothers along the way, courtesy of ly's mp3 (which coincidentally, is samsung, exactly the same one as mine- and michelle's. but mich's one was broken and she bought a new one)
oh and when i alighted from the cab, my keys nearly fell into the drain!! that was lucky.
played x box the whole night.
i'll post pictures later. and tell you guys about my exam results, k?
my results aren't THAT BAD.
oh and mich, honey, cheer up about your ruined party and _______ you're still my best friend and this isn't the end of the world.
sigh. so much for true love.
Stuffs I painted @ 8:35 PM
