Well, The SATs. Let's talk anout the SATs. 28thJanuary.
The mathematics part is not difficult, it was the language part that was the stumbling block. It took Aloysius and me grueling hours to attempt the language part, and loads of courage to pen down so many of the unsure answers. I guess attempting suicide would be of a less torment, and the courage requirement would be much less. Well please do not quote me. I was merely doing a very irrelavant comparison. Well, irrelavant, but a good one.
Well, after the test, i went to have lunch with Aloysius and Xue Qian at Tampines, and headed home for a short nap. I had work that night. 28th night. Eve of Chinese New Year. I am okay with it as we still had our reunion dinner, with a lot of nice food. The funny part was that my family does not follow the tradition of reunion dinner that strictly, not all of us were gathered at the dinning table. Well, we do not even have a dinning table that big. Haha.
Work was fine that night. Partnered with Elaine. A lot of trouble at a certain pub. Over all, that night was okay.
I guessed updating a blog really takes patience. Patience to sit in front of the computer, thinking of the things one wants to include inside the entry.
I think, it would be better to convert my blog into a photo journal. Haha. easier to maintain. Just junk all the photographs into one entry and Whola! Haha.
21st January
Pit 38. The birthday boy, Darren and myself.
It was quite a miserable night. I was told it was at Area A. I took a taxi from Parkway Parade to East Coast park, looking for Area A. The taxi driver & I found Area C. Then we thought that it would be an easy ride by car. We were quite wrong. It took us a few rounds and about 15 Minutes to get from Area C to Area A. I alighted, paying the cabby about S$7 (it was only about S$3-4 at area C). I walked for 5minutes along the desserted pathway. There was not much light, there was no barbeque pits there. I was initially lost; i do not know to take the left path or the right one, they were equally dark and both ways seems incorrect to me. I took the left one, which was the right one, the correct one which i found out a long time later. It was not another 10minutes into walking along the dimly lighted pathway, that I saw the first active person, cycling. And a few on the way lying down in the huts. 5 more minutes, finally the firtst pit. It was only area A, pit 1. I have 37 pits more to go. I walked for a dsitance before i call Darren and asked him for directions, i had also asked Kelvin who was there and had a vehicle to come over and fetch me over. I was not offered the ride. I thought to myself, why do i always get myself into such siutation. I'm cold and hungry; alone in a windy night, walking in search of food, and friends... It was another 20minutes before i finally reach the location and i saw my other Montfort friends walking away, saying that they were going to have their own meals. In actual fact, there was a minor misunderstanding between Darren and them. I have to entertain myself at the pit becasue Michelle has not arrive, and the Montfort friends have left. Darren had to take care of the barbeque pit and also the other friends there. Of course he talked to me and served me, but overall, he is only one person, how much can he do? I gave him a card for his Birthday. After some SMS, i found out that Michelle is on her way, and that she was not really sure to exactly which pit. So I told her that i would wait for her at Carpark C1, which was the nearest.
Michelle, caught in the middle!
This is michelle, the one I met at the Civil Servant College, and refused to take photographs. Well, this one was a well taken picture. Please do not worry Michelle!
There was break here. I do not really remember all that happened between 21st till 28th. Well well...
Chinese New Year!

4th February
The 1724 had reunion lunch, then after which we went to Zhi Yu's place for visitation. After the visitation, Esther, Min Hui, Hao Jie and I took the same bus, my initial intention was to pop by Wen Si's place for a short visit and also to say 'hi' Since Esther and Hao Jie were on their way to her place. But in the end, my parents and uncle arrived first at to pick me up to go to Riverside Hong Bao. I was just outside, along the main road, only about 100m away from WenSi's place when the vehicle appeared. I got on the lorry and bid Goodbye to Esther & Hao Jie. Riverside!
Blur Look.
Darn bus stop shelter!!!
Singapore River's Night scenery.
Yesterday, 6th February, I went to watch "I not Stupid Too" with Hao Jie. Supposedly only the two of us. But later on, i suddenly found out that my bile study group students and their parents came along too. Min Hui and one of her student went too. Haha, what a surprise, so many people came. Hmmm... my original intention was that the fewer the people, the easier it is to co-ordinate between the timing and all. Well, the show. I only gave it a 6.5 upon 10. I feel that it is not such a amazing show, not fantastic at all, not a wonderfully done piece. The feeling was only marvelous because so many people are watching with me, i get to get a chance to go out with "my kids". The show does not live up to expectation as i feel that the film, have a few disconnected ideas, some observations of the current society, losely pieced together made to fill up about 2 hours. Too out of foucs, "quality of control" not constant throughout the show. Content not bad, that is why i passed the show, gave it more than 5. It is something like lets say, a storybook, being read by a good story-teller, or a not so good story-teller. Methods of expression and all.
Guess i should not say too much about the file, or else I would be attacked by the fans of the show. Cannot have peace even when I walk on the streets! Haha. Well.
