It was a rather nice Sports Day today. Better than last year at least. It is just sad that just 1 more Sports Day remains for me. We started off the day with Chemistry which was supposed to be held in the 21st Century Classroom, but trying to use it so early in the day meant that it was locked. We spent 10 minutes trying to get through a door that wouldn't open, then when Ms Yeo decided to go back, she was climbing the stairs when the door opened and Mr Wee came out with many apologies. So we did have our lesson in the 21st Century Classroom. We started Calculations of Chemical Equations today.
Social Studies was quite fun as usual. Our teachers are very nice :D. Then it was Physics. We were supposed to be released at 10am today, but she wanted to go through some important things, so the lesson pulled on until 10.15am, when we were dismissed from class.
Meaning to go out with Keefe, I met Reuben and Russell just outside the classroom as I walked out of it. They were waiting for me to end my lesson and planned to go out together. Such wonderful friends :). So 4 of us, we went to J8. They kept pretending to be suspicious characters using their bags as bombs on the train. Reaching there at 10.45am, I realized that Breakfast was still available at Macdonalds, and I wanted to eat that, but Keefe insisted that we go to the Food Junction instead. And I couldn't remember the reason why I didn't want to go there until we entered it. I took Cheese Prata again for $6.60. It's nice, but I wanted to eat Hotcakes :D. But nevermind.
I was about to go to the Stadium, but Keefe wanted to mess around, so he just walked into Popular when he saw his friends in there, and they were coming out. But he stayed in there. 5 minutes later, he went to queue at the counter with 2 blue pens and said that he wanted to buy them. Then he decided that he only needed 1 and spent another 1 minute to put it back and return to the queue which had extended in his absence. When we finally got out of Popular another 5 minutes later, I told them that I wanted a Hot Fudge Sundae and went down, but they found something else to look at. 27-inch iMac with a Magic Mouse and a Bluetooth Keyboard attached to it. Next to it was the Macbook Air, Macbook Pro in 13, 15 and 17 inch variations. Spent another 5 minutes there. 11.40am. In a toy shop, yes, a toy shop, they played around for another 5 minutes. They went in after I pointed out a 5 x 5 x 5 Rubik's cube to them...
Getting my Sundae at last, I finished it in about 5 minutes and needed to wash my hands as they had overfilled it with fudge this time, so when I dipped the spoon in for the first scoop, fudge spilled over onto my hand. And sucking it up just doesn't feel right. Wash my hands = Go to the toilet. And why did the other 3 of them have to follow me there? I managed to slip in there before they caught up, and they went past the toilet in the wrong direction. I just went in there, left my hand under the tap for half a second and came out again. And I did not see them. Waited for 2 minutes then Reuben called me to ask for my whereabouts. After regrouping, we headed back to the MRT Station.
Dropping off at Serangoon to go to Hougang, we reached our destination in about 7 minutes. I don't know why I'm so particular about the time spent in this post, but I guess I'm just trying to see how I spent my 3 hours of free time. So anyway, none of us knew where Hougang Stadium was from the station, like on Wednesday. So we just picked an exit and got out there and as expected, it was the wrong one. Returning to the underground passage to get out through the other side, we met a group of people including Benedict. That made about 15 of us. We didn't really know where it was, but we led the way. When I thought that they were just following us blindly, I wanted to play the fool, so Russell, Reuben and I, we turned into a HDB block, and they followed us. And it turned out that it was the right way. OK so we managed to find Hougang Stadium through a prank. I thought we were already a big group, but at Traffic Junctions, we could Nan Chiau High people in groups of 30, and there were many groups. Yeah, they had been using the Stadium just before us, so they were leaving and we were just taking over their place then.
Arrived there to be greeted by Daryl and Ee Jin. People in yellow shirts filled one side of the place. Benedict was also in the same house. Russell did not know what house he was in and was wearing the school uniform so he didn't care and just sat with us while Reuben stood out in the crowd as the only green among us until our ex-classmates came to bother us. But they found a wide space to migrate to and Russell and Reuben followed suit, but I wanted to stay with my Table Tennis juniors.
We just talked, as they were still preparing for the event. At about 2pm, we found Daryl and Kai Shiun, both yellow shirts too :D and Zi Ping. That's 6 Table Tennis players in the same house :D. Then our fellow China players. Talked even more. I lost track of time after that, but at some point in time the councilors came up with boxes of buns to chuck around to the crowd. Russell and some primary school kids in front of me kept asking for more, and they just gave it all to me. Being a fan of Chocolate Buns, I took all of them like a greedy pig, but of course I returned some of them and kept 6. Haha. And that excludes those that I threw at and gave to other people. But of course I didn't eat all of them there.
They took 2 and a half hours to run through the 100m, 400m and the 4 x 100m Relay from Primary 4 to Secondary 4. Ming Xuan told me that I was to record his 100m sprint, but if he was not in the top 3, delete it. I didn't bother, and he did not get top 3. At 4.30pm when they were about to start the 4 x 400m Relays, it started to drizzle and the lightning alert came on. We were told that the event was to end there due to unsuitable conditions. I was missing the most exciting part of the event where each individual was of vital importance to the team's victory. It was the one that I stayed for and wanted to watch, but they cancelled it.
They dismissed us according to our houses. Keefe asked me if there was a direct bus home and I told him I didn't know, but I had to worry for him since he isn't used to getting around Singapore on his own yet, so when I found that he did not come out with the Blue Shirts, I called him. He had gone on ahead. Kai Zhong, who lives near me, was coming along too. So the 3 of us, we went back to the station. On the way, we found a bus stop and Keefe checked the bus numbers. 165 was on the schedule, but then I pointed out the stop that he was about to end up at. Hougang Central Interchange, 3 stops away. Haha he changed his mind.
We went back to school to take a bus back, on the way meeting Russell yet again, and Marcus. As Keefe had a direct bus, we left at the stop before Coronation Plaza to change our bus. Chatting more about nonsense with Kai Zhong in the limited time, I dropped off at my destination and went home.
