long sleepover

I am so excited. My third uncle has just sold his place at toh drive. He will be moving in with us in June if the other party is willing to sign the papers.

After I received the news, i start to think about the last time they came over. His stay lasted for close to a month and my brother and I had a great time. Why? Because of his three children.

His oldest daughter, Felicia was already about 18, and was excellent when it came to teaching us and baking us delicious pastries to eat.

His son, yes Hong, had what Ming Le came to adore. The one and only PSP, so you could say he was partly responsible when he agreed to sell us the PSP cheap. He was a plumpish 16 years old before his national service, which used to eat McDonalds everyday for lunch, or so everyone says.

His youngest daughter arena is who like best. She is jovial and very likable. She was the reason why we were so willing to let them stay, even if it meant having to sleep on mattresses. She helped us whenever possible and loved to crack jokes. We called her 'Mei Mei ' although she was older than us. This habit occurred while we were kids. Everyone called her 'Mei Mei' and so we did too!

I hope this visit from them will be even more meaningful than the lasted

my bro

My brother (his name is Ming Le by the way) is like a pro at the play-station portable(PSP) for his young age. He completed the game Dynasty warrior 2 long before I did. Sadly this pro-ness of his was due to too much playing.

He played every single day if possible. The only reason he would not play PSP when there was something more fun. Maybe like the even newer PS3 or the Nintendo DS. Once his 'condition' was so bad my father had to bring the PSP to his office to ban Ming Le. He cried for an average OF 2 DAYS, SCREAMING AND SHOUTING FOR HIS LONG LOST TREASURE.

My father seriously could not take it. So after 5 days of continuous screaming, my father gave up. All hope is sort of lost I guess. Even while writing this post, he is playing!

My mother says he is a typical singaporean.why? Every sentence he says, he has to add something extra. For example "you see Lar, now I die already lar.how Lar?" my mother has reprimanded him time and again to speak proper Queen's English. But alas he does not listen.

He is like a girl. So conscious about how he looks. He has started to gel his hair till it spikes up like the comb of a rooster.

training

it's actually nothing much... i came in by DSA squash.so i started early. on the first day, i felt so lost, no familiar faces whatsoever.first, the coach asked me to go warm up in court 3. so i did. he looked rather strict and i dare not disobey.
it's so unfair. the first one i played with was the captian.(ifound out later that his name was Chin Ann). i knew his name after i made him fall and twist his ankle. he looked like he was in great pain. well duhh.. who would not after continuing to play even after a twisted ankle.
that day, i played 3 games in a row. i was exhausted. but hey! it was all worth it, i was selected to play for the C division. i'm so excited.
i l ost hope after another senior told me that our C div had not won anything at all. i was dumbfounded, i just hope that things will be better this year.
my "rival" wold be wei lin, he started a lot earlier than me and he is also sec1(uh oh).he was tough to play with but by some miracle, i won!!!

i so noob!!!

today was the anuall cross-country meet. i was running the competetive race. in the Aphelion race, (the one that is held during the P.E lesson) i was 4th. i was exhilerated. but during the actual race today,the one today involving the whole school, i was 17th. how sad!
it did not go too well, even at the start. i was immedietaly pushed to the back. it kind of demoralized me. thankfully, as i was reaching the finish line, i managed to summon all my remaining to complete the race.what a relief:D!
the competitors were very fast, i feel so useless and weak. i think this may be the last time i ever run competitive in my school.MR. ho was dressed like some professional athelete. clad in his 2009 marathon shirt(which looked obviously too tight for him) and short shorts which exposed legs twice as hairy as darren's.
i had never seen him dressed as sporty as this before, and i guess i never will again. maybe next year, but not anytime soon.
the milo van was jammed pack with students, each taking two cups at a time. by the time it was my turn to take my milo,i was almost dehydrated.
luckily the MRT had plenty of spaces. by the time i reached Simei, the whole row was vacant.
next year i shall run with the masses, it would be less competitive!!wont it?

Muesem

Today was a rather memorable day for me. My class, 1A1, and 1A2 went to an ancient Egypt exhibition. This field trip was organized by my IH teacher, Mr. Ho. I actually had squash training today, but Mr. Ho was insistent that I went. I do not regret going, the teachers were friendly and the overall was eventful. Benedict Chin (5) and Lee Jia Wang (13) were both punished by our teacher. They were making nuisances of themselves by talking while the teacher was speaking. They did not observe the "golden rule". Benedict, who was dressed as a phahorah, the one with an extra-pointy beard. Whilst Jia Wang was dressed in a Queen's outfit (he looked more like a joker actually!)

Later on we visited the gallery, where all the artifacts were placed safely in their cases. There were statues of gods, godesess and guardian angels of the phahorah. There were also jewelry which belonged to the Kings and Queen.

Later on the train, I was exhausted beyond words, and no one offered a seat to poor, poor me! Before I left, this woman conveniently shook her head, causing her smelly hair to choke me. It must have been a habit, as most women do from time to time.

Now, even while writing this blog, I am still slightly panting and sweaty.8 words, WHAT A DAY!

New year

in a flash, another year has passed. the new year is here again. this year,(tiger) decorations can be seen everywhere. even the usually bare Pasir Ris West Plaza is now filled with new year decor.
this year has been a very fruitful one for me. the loss of my files more or less affected the New Year mood. My father was less cheerful than he was the year before.
On the day of the reunion dinner, i made a mess out of the "yu sheng". the whole table was scattered with shredded vegetables. i was severely reprimanded by my father who was coincidentally sitting on the same table as me!
during the first day, i was literaly pulled out of bed by my over-exited younger brother. if not for the pulled out my matrss, iwould have fallen flat on my face. during the 12 hours of visiting, i collected an average of $75.
on the second day i had to drink a nasty cup of red date tea. my mom claimed it was good, but in reality it stank! "harvest" was rather good, an average of $50 was earned. i also gambled a lot. i knew this would be my only chance this year. so if i did not treasure it, i would have to wait for 1 whole year before i get to do it again.
the third day would be the most memorable so far. after reaching my father's friend's house,i shot straight up to my friends's room. his name was Xavier and he was a year older than me. we played maplestory all the way from 6.00 to 11.00. what arare opportunity!my eyes were so sore that i laid of the computer for a very long time.
on the 7th day "ren ri" we went to another friend's house till 9+. it was rather boring. the only thing that was humorous was the Mr. Bean that we watched(i laughed till my sides ached).
i collected $200 in total.

Bored

Today, everyone at home is BORED except for Ming Le, who is watching T.V like some crazy addict.

before new year i said BYE-BYE to my old LSS, LA and chinese. i spent about 40 dollars to replace everything( excluding photocopying fees).

Poor Poor me, i had to pay for EVERYTHING!!! so sad...
