A & W Birthday Celebration

Birthday Celebration

Just yesterday .. The whole gang of my friends went out (still missing out dickson chin yang and of course jun hong) to celebrate my birthday as well as wendy's birthday.. a total of 18 people !!!

It started really bad as we simple gathered at tm with no where to go and no one got a clue of what to do next.. The whole mood was rather bored as everyone seemed pretty restless.

However, as soon as we decided to head to east coast for cycling and skate. It lifted everyone's spirit and the old jolly and happy mood came back.. Everyone started playing and joking around as we headed to our destination. But before we set out, zehui suddenly popped in front of me with a present in hand. At first, i thought it was bag as told by someone but it turned out to be 5x5 cube . Cool!! Really wanted it ... Thanks Guys for the present !!!

Soon, we headed to east coast by bus 31. Finally, after a long and tedious journey, we reached east coast park. At the same time, all of us decided to dare zehui to do a particular thing for a price of one dollar per guy.. But in the end, he chickened out and pulled out from the dare .. haiz .. zehui~

Apparently, feli knew the shop uncle rather well and we managed to get a special price for our bikes and skates.. Surprisingly, the uncle said that he recognised me and that it had been a long time since i last visited there .. whoa...

Anyway, I wanted to try out skating as it had been years since i last skated .. As soon as i got my skates on. The old feeling came back and i started skating within minutes.. Then i went off to help xu tat and wei guang who tried out skating for the first time. Soon after, they got the hang of it and started skating really well ..

On the way, we were joking and skating as some of us fell while skating.. Wendy is like a really poor cyclist la .. Always jamming the brakes quickly.. The scene was really comical as she will jerk in front everytime she brakes ..

Those skating ones were all trying how to brake properly and i roughly got the hang of it . I was even able to do a 180 degree spin. However, i would spin out of hand sometimes, causing me to almost lose my balance. I almost fell on a few occasions .. haha

We gathered at the bedok jetty for a short break and took a group photo at the same time. Sadly, colin, gary and yong hong could only join us for dinner.

Well, then everyone went off together, skating and cycling as a group.

On the way back, something unfortunate happened ..
Xu tat who was clinging onto sarah's bike could not maintain his balance at that speed and fell over, causing sarah to fall and in turn zhang xiang and charmaine to fall..

While falling, sarah screamed which caused wendy to panic as she jammed her brakes. Forgetting that feli at that time,who was clinging onto her bike.. Feli lost her balance and fell ...
What was worst was that as the bike skided to a halt, feli was dragged against the hard and rough ground for quite a distance ...

She layed motionless on the ground, clasping her knee and stayed silent. For a moment, everyone was awestruck by what happened and soon, we all came to our senses and gathered around feli.

Apparently, she hurt her knee as there was a pretty bad abbrasion. Some of us consoled her as they cleaned the would with some water. She was crying really badly as it really hurt.. Everyone was down on their spirit..

At that time, since i couldnt do anything to ease feli's pain..So, I tried to lift up their spirit and tried distracting her from the pain as i cracked some senseless joke. Soon, the guys started joking around and everyone's spirit came back .. Feli started laughing 2..

Fortunately, some joggers who saw the incident reported the incident to a group of cyclists who had a first aid kit with them. Soon, help came as the group of cyclist helped feli cleaned and dressed her wound. Then kenji cycled her back on the couple bike first so that she could rest properly while the rest of us started to make our way back .

The way back was pretty quiet and everyone seemed to be thinking of something. Eventually, we reached the shop and feli seemed to be in good spirit too. We then began heading to my house for our dinner.

Apparently, zehui and the rest took a liking to the food sold near my house as it was cheap and tasty. Thus, we decided that we would come and eat there often. Of course, i had no rejections about that since it is only a stone throw away from my house. haha

Our dinner was at the coffee shop near my block and it was a scrumptous and fulfilling meal. We ate a combination of asam curry fish head, rojak, satay, sting ray, cai tauh kuey, gor hiong and mee suay.. Everyone thought that it was a good meal ... With a big and satisfied tummy, we went on the our next activity... BASKETBALL..

The whole match can be described as competitive, fun, enjoyable and messy. With a member of 8 per group, we fight to reach 11 points beofre changing the grouping.. Everyone played well, as the teamwork was good and it even showcast certain skills that each of us has .. For example, clement showed his usual strength with good shots and layups, scoring for our team. Xu tat and yong hong showed their exceptional jumping skills and wei guang with his dribbling skills. The rest of us was all making an effort to score and defend, and everyone seemed determined to win.
I managed to score quite a few points with some shots and rebounds but i couldnt get my 3 points in.

We ended at around 10.30pm as everyone was tired out and injured. Zhang xiang even tore his skinny when he fell .. Soon, everyone headed for home.

In conclusion, it can be said as one of the best experience for our gang.

After sending the maine and sarah to their bus stop, kh went to my house. After bathing individually, we spent the time with chinese chess and ps2 and soon, it reached 2.30am and it was time to work. Kah hwee had to help his mother with the distribution and packing of newspaper and i came to help too.

I can only say it is really a laborious and challenging job. Having to pack the newspaper quickly into individual blocks and sending them over. Having to climb the stairs from level to level to give out different combination of papers like straits times, new paper, malay paper, zao bao and xin ming..

We even delivered to Kenji's house.. SO, KENJI PLEASE READ YOUR PAPERS WITH GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO DELIVERED IT. hahaa

Kh and I almost died in the process .. Think about it, after skating till the evening and playing basketball till the night AND giving out newspaper till the morning... How would you feel ?

As soon i reached home at 6-7 am, i took a bath and had my breakfast.. Then, i collasped on my bed and slept all the way to 6pm. After that, ta-dah~ im here to blog about this unique experience. It can be said as a form of training bah.

Well... Thats what happened this few days ..

Sincerely,
Aaron

im back ...

Whoa ... its like 3 months since my last post .
Well. im here to share whats has happened so far..

From may to july.., everything is pretty much about projects ..

Projects.. Friend or Foe .....

Usually, projects would bring people together since you would
be working together for quite a long duration of time.
As you go through the project, you would gradually get to
know more about your teammates and
friendship ties SHOULD strengthen.

However, this is not the case everytime.
Sometimes, projects allow you to see the hidden-self of people
(EH Eiii .. Can apply OB concept sei..)
Unfortunately, i did... Its really disappointing when you are
liketrying so hard for your team and yet some of them doesnt
seem to care less about it..
its really frustrating sometimes..

It makes you wonder ..

what am i working so hard for ? is it all worth it ?

Haiz..........


OKAY.. i saw quite a no. of blogs
(not really a no. of blogs.. its just shawn's blog la.. LOL)
and emo posts seems to be in the trend..
so yup.. i also emo a bit ..


Now for the Happy part...


Well, thanks to my other teammate, brian ..
We managed to get an A for our csa
despite the fact it was a 2 man team.
so thats a relief..
Then everything went pretty well for the rest of the projects..
Econs, OB presentation was good i think
and we scored pretty well for that ...
Thanks guys and girls for all your effort !!

Until comm skills came....
On that day itself, my hands were majiam tied
behind my back and something was stuck in my throat..
I fumbled over the first few slides and gradually got better ..
but it still sucks ..
ANYWAY... its over le so yup... no nd to keep harping about it ..


Next topic ...


For the past few months, my life is pretty much about school,
manga and basketball (no chance play soccer) ..
like some sort of zai nan lik that ...
But yup, its great to start playing basketball again since
its been quite a long time since i last played...
so yup, i've been playing with my class, with tp 6 muggers
and occasionally with yong hong colin and gary them.. oh.
and shawn and kenji them..


Just last week i played basketball till i had blisters all over my feet.
Whats worst was that i ''accidentally'' ate ''some'' prawns and
my blisters got infected..

This condition is known as cellulitis.. sounds deadly..lol

It got so worst that i could not even walk and that i
had to use crutches to walk around the house and even
that hurts.. Furthermore, my maid had to push me in a wheelchair
when i went to the doctor ..
DAMN pai sei sia.. i wore my cap and pretend to be sleeping..

Everyone who walked past was giving me strange stares ..
some like ke lian me
**** Im not f****** handicapped ..
well.. this experience put my in the shoes of the
less fortunate and i really feel for them ..
those weird stares can really make you feel
uncomfortable..


PLEASE DIAL 91524965 TO DONATE TO THE LESS FORTUNATE !!

taking the medicine for a few days..
it gradually got better and im back to playing basketball..
