Submission over~ & fren
haha have been MIA for the past full week. And yes I stayed in studio for almost the
whole week. From Monday to Thurs...... my
longest record. And oso longest record for stayed up the most continuously....
4 DAYS!!! without sleep, but occassionally doze offs... so accumulated 2-3 hours of dozing off only. Li hai ba~~ I think my studiomates oso lor. Again i was rushing like crazy for it.... and handed up late and not able to finish wat i wan to do. sob... I was using 4 computers to run my exportation of model lor! My model damn big size.... i dunno how am I going to present on my crit day.... lucky i have 4 computers to use as my 2 other studiomates sharing the cluster with me worked at home... so i used my own computer, laptop and their computers... hahaha~~ abit Kua Zhang rite.... sorry lar... who ask me my model so ..... It took me 2 hours to export my model plans each time.
anyway.... after the submission, damn shag.... 4 pm got a last lecture which was important to attend. But then when i went home to sleep, i overslept... woke up at 6pm....... to my horror... so sad.... then somemore need to rush to pasir ris for a primary sch fren's 21st bdae party.... my archi fren who supposed to go with me decided not to go... so i felt so sian.... going there alone.... as the rest had reached. But later I met up with another pri fren at pasir ris so yea~ can go there together~~
The place was at Aloha Luoyang, so crowded! Alot of chinese high ppl, army ppl... JJC ppl, wah wah.... haha food half gone oso... anyway, we pri sch ppl finally get to have a little chat together~~ My pri sch class had alot of cliques... and this clique is the one i more familiar with, so it is perfectly fine. I really enjoyed myself. right, here are the photos!
This is the grp photo! The bdae boy, Guowei, was drenched in sweat..... as u can see in the photo.... I tot he went to pour water on his head lor.... really wet ok.
Finally at ard 9 plus, it is the singing bdae time!!! Gw went to change into such formal dress code!! suit!! white shirt, black jacket! How come so exaggerating!!! he acted like some big billionaire!! hahaa so funny~~~ crazy ar, he loved to get attention, as usual~~ ever since i know him hahaa.... ok lar. I muz say that there were lots of PHOTOTAKING and it stretched for 1 HOUR!!! before we finally get to sing the song and cute the cake...... haha the cake ar, i think stale liao lar~~
here are the phototakings:
ok.... so well gw was busy taking with the rest, our clique entertained ourselves by taking a few grp photos:
okie~~~ so ard 11 plus, we took cab home~~ I went back with Yongling... the cab fares really made my eyes popped out hahaha~ all right, that's all.... then at night i came back, I still played Conquer online with sel and jov.... oh dear... me so bad~~ hahaha
ok lar, that's all~~~ I think even Yongling said that I changed... I dunno abt appearance but the personality in terms of becoming more extrovert or open is the most obvious thing. Yea i agreed too.... I dunno why but changed into like this after I graduated from JC and after working during the 6 mths. And I realised I enjoyed my time with ppl alot after I am a more open person~~~. I get to haf fun with them.... and this pri sch 'gathering' proved it again. I didnt know I can mingle with them well unlike last time due to my introvert self. So I guess I've changed for the better. heehee~~~~
all right~~ that's all folks! I have more work and exams coming up!!
The guy in the photo looks familiar. Is he called matthew by any chance?
haha...and congrats on ur submission... finally ar... Now u shld sleep more...
yes! that is matthew!! how do u know him?!
haha... he is my secondary school classmate... oops... he changed quite a lot i think... hee.. Remember I know Huiyi? There's a Ben from your primary school also right? haha.. all my sec 3 and 4 class...
