this week has been really fun, so i've decided to tell you guys all about it.
monday 1june i wasn't feeling well, so i stayed at home. Forgo-ed training. After simply a day, my stamina fell like xiao(Shinyun ought to be slapping me while reading this) Then, yx/ jy/ sy came over to my place for a supposedly one hour gathering to check out my place and visit me since i was a patient then. this gathering lasted for like 3hours or so O.o'''
we had a heart-to-heart talk. i wonder if that helped us in the process in getting to know each other better. i really don't know. i just thought it seemed like a agitating round of debate (btw trackers). perhaps, it might be at a wrong time, wrong moment, or wrong place. i wonder. but i guess we'r all back at square one again. and that's good. at least, everything remains the same.
tuesday 2june class gathering. left house at like 10:15am to meet yingxuan at the busstop- headed for westmall. guess what, we reached westmall at like 10:4oam and no one else reached yet.
so we roamed, and roamed, and roamed. till yixian/ jieying came. then we stoned, and stoned, and stoned. till clement came. then we waited, and waited, and waited. till seanseoh came. then we talked, and talked, and talked. till shawntan came. (that was btw the girls) and headed for lot1.
there were MANY awkward pauses, and silent waiting for someone to voice out. and eventually, we ate together. lunch wasn't quite good, with silence, here and there. "this gathering may just screw up", both yingxuan and i thought. soon, ellen/ prisca/ shiyun/ shuinhern came.
next destination, here we come. warren country club. soon, genevieve/ hsiuyee/ elizabelle/ joan came. played bowling and then billiard (i don't know how to play the latter). the activities were fun, for we laughed, encouraged, and cheered each other. i thought, perhaps everything may not be too bad. but soon, the awkwardness came back. and we decided to eat first. at lot1. long johns silver. the guys suggested pizza. and i thought, good. at least we won't have to split up while eating and can eat from the same pizza, but the girls didn't think so. they laughed at my idea. (they thought i was joking O.o''') after dinner, many left.
honestly, i had a severe blankout. i didn't know what to do, there and then. i wanted everyone to bond together. but that's tough, real tough. "Bonding is a natural thing", shuinhern said. that was sad, piercing though my heart, but i guess he's right. i just couldn't accept that fact.
guess what, seanseoh managed to persuade shawntan to let us go his place. it was boring at the front, with the old-time game, murderer, and the winking. but laughter was non-stop, ohkay, mayb i exaggerated but it was not too bad (: and the ending was fun, poison ball. though the smacks were terribly painful. i guess we made the wrong choice by playing murderer in the first place. and i left happy, but also feeling regretful for the day.
- upset over myself for not being able to make everyone talk - regretted not planning a better gathering (too much silent waiting) - regretted not playing ball games first. arggh!
i promise a better gathering in the future, and shuinhern, i'll remember your words. but i won't give up. that's for sure (:
wednesday 3june macritchie training, and guess what. i woke up at 6:30am. we did a total of 10km of jog/ walk. 4.5km + 0.5km + 0.5km + 4.5km we ran in from one end and came out from the other end. woah, this was the first time we ever did that. we went past tree top walk, which was so fun. i mean the scenery was great. but i hate the rocky path we took back. it was tiring, not really, but i just couldn't run properly. then, i went back to nanyang. ate with mrlim and other pals at six avenue. and i did my first ever film develop. woah, those machines are just wonderful. they are the monsters who don't have that much amount of light. it's our first time, so we only did 2pictures each.
went home at 6:40pm, like a norm school day
thursday 4june that's today. i wasn't feeling well. didn't know why, but i couldn't get back to sleep after waking up at 6:30am and woke up, walking around the living room, then felt sleepy at 8am plus, and got back to sleep for another hour and went to nanyang after that.
helped mrlim in the coming aep exhibition on 4july. it's gonna be fun i guess. and i think i ought to help him. eliz/ liyi and me did the comp work. it was funny, haha. the three of us being unaware of what to do even after mrlim briefed us. at 11am plus, everything was over, and liyi/ zhuhong/ shiyin n me did our film developing again! this time, we were much experienced over these black machines, and the dark room was no longer that creepy already. though we still screamed silently inside, due to the dusting "pen" which scared us like xiao. today, we developed many phototgraphs. guess what, mrlim's portrait was developed for 5 times. Hah. im really thankful towards mrlim, honestly. for helping us so much, teaching us so much, and being so generous with his equipments n time.
lunch was fun, with liyi and zhuhong. we ate meesoto, at six avenue, which we took a bus there. and ate ice cream together. Hah. walked back to school. Had ice cream stains all over, but luckily "it'll be all black in the dark room." (: And we bought chips back for the aesthetics teachers.
Dark room has been my second classroom. A place i truly love, and a place i feel that i belong. though dark, it seems bright and many wonderful miracles happen within. this has been an enriching experience, and i really appreciate all the teachers' efforts. today marks the end of my journey in photography in sec2 AEP. it had really been fun, smelling like chemicals when going back home, and also carrying back many negatives and black and white photographs in our hands. i wonder when i'll ever get the chance to use monster again, and the dusting "pen". i love you MONSTER(S)! <3 [though you lou guang and shine at the wrong places]
went home at 6:40pm, like a norm school day
and guess what, i stayed in the dark room myself today for a short time, which i normally would scream and run out.
i'm totally xiao (obsessed) with photography. want to get a cam, soon. staring at the cams online just makes me drool.
i used 4 guess what (s)!
