Rush Rush

been too busy to blog lately. so busy in fact, then when i logged on just now, my homepage was gone, just like mentioned in john's blog.

anyway it's really been quite a while sine last i blogged.

on saturday we had the campusa orientation at smu. it's good to be able to put a face to the email correspondents in my may 25th departure group. got to know quite a few of them. in all there're 10 of us heading to chicago on may 25th, of which i'm the only guy. sadly, my theory in the previous blog regarding chio bus seems valid. mark joe and i got split into different groups during the orientation, and we were made to play silly ice-breakers. silly not because i've played them all before nor hat they were unnecessary, but silly because they were inappropriate and ill-managed. i mean, the ice-breaker version of rock-paper-scissors(wizard-giant-elf) played under the searing afternoon sun? allthis before we even got ourselves aquianted in our groups? so silly.

but still ultimately the aim to get to know those leaving the same day was finally achieved. and since they're all pretty nice people, the day didn't end on too bad a note. there's another 3 other girls taking the same flight as i am(the jal one) while another 6 are flying by korean airways. and we'll all be meeting up again during the orientation in chicago.

sunday was the alumni beach volleyball outing in sentosa. was quite fun, attended by quite alot of people though mostly frm my block and the alumni committee. went early to book a nice spot on the beach(turned out to be the other extreme end of palawan beach). we had myself thomas mark lincoln adrian lichun fina and xiuwen. played volleyball, ultimate freebie and a few other games. a few of them even went to the sea to cool off or suntan. was a particularly hot day, and i'm totally charred. in the afternoon we had others joining us, leon steven norman zhihong mulian val yonghui sonya roy, at different times. was really quite a fun day at the beach. i'm sure everyone had his or her own highlight. mine was definitely the 6 of us me linc roy norman steven and adrian attempting the record-breaking one-limb-keep-the-ball-in-the-air. took us a long time and alot of tries(almost gave up so many times!) but finally we managed to acheive our target of keeping it up in the air for 100 hits! so cool!!! haha. we had wanted to stay till only around 3-4pm but by the time we hit the showers it was almost 6pm liaoz. dinner was once again together at harbourfront mcdonalds. a fruitful and fun yet tiring day indeed!

and as if the day's activities weren't enough, i went home and took the car back to ntu with ma to move some of my things back home! dunno how i manage to drive all the way back in my tired mass. to make matters worse, I FORGOT TO BRING MY HALL KEY!! wah lao in my 4 years in ntu this was the first time it happened!!! shite. anyway i ended up climbing into my own room via eric's room(lucky he was around!) and moved my things.then had to lock my door and climb back to his room via the ultra dangerous cliff hanging ledge(funny i didn't think much of it). also gotta thank kee heng for helping me with some of my things.

then at night i still drove out for supper till 2am!!!

and so yesterday i was a wreck with a nose dripping like a tap. ended up resting the whole day and writing all the necessary emails to the different people who're expecting one from me. slept super duper early like around 10+.

and that was my exciting weekend.
