16th December 2006

Alright 9 more days till Christmas and of course presents and more presents. I know this sounds wrong but somehow I am starting to feel that blogging becoming a chore for me. Well fuck that thought. 11 more days to NP camp and 3 more days to project day with YP. I started having swimming lessons after much persuations from my dad. The coaches there are all from China, well in fact everybody there is from China. I find it extremely hard to communicate with them and during the lesson I just swim for like 1 hour and thats it for the day. The Chinese lady did not even get into the pool. During the whole lesson, all she does is to chat with one of the parents. After I swim 1 lap, her standard line would be " Hen Hao ! Hen Hao! You Jin Bu! " then she instructs me to swim another lap ( This whole "thing" continues for 1h " ) How lazy a person can get?!
Been staying at friends ( Daniel and Shawn ) houses lately. Let me relate to you my experiences. Shawn and I were waiting at the MRT for Daniel to fetch us to his house so I started to play games on Shawn's mobile phone ( Nokia has really weird games. ). After 15 or so minutes we finally caught a glimpse of Daniel but after he saw us he walked away. We walked toward his direction and we caught him in a baking shop picking up breads onto a tray. Feeling thirsty, Shawn and I went to a 7-eleven store to buy a bottle of coke. Seeing that the latest issue of Stuff IT had came out I decided to buy it. Shawn, thinking that it was " Stuff the men's magazine" was shocked.
After reaching Dan's place we started to do our stuff ( Xbox and Com ) for about like 5 hours or so. At about 10pm, we got bored so we decided to try playing majong. Sadly only Daniel knows how to play the game. After spending 1h ++ trying to set up the game, we only played 2 rounds before going back to do our "stuff". Seeing that it was 11.30pm already we decided to stay there for the night. Dan was playing LOTR : Battle for Middle Earth the whole night. Shawn was watching him play, I tried playing Fable. This continued till about 4 in the morning when Shawn got too tired and wanted to sleep ( We slept in his living room on mattress ) . Dan continued to play and I continued watching him play too. Soon after I went to sleep too while he continued. At about 5+ I awoken by ' Daniel slamming on the sofa ' sound. We chatted for quite a while before I noticed that Shawn was drooling and how funny he looked that we decided to take a photo. Daniel ended up "Flashing" or blinding me with the camera flash. Whenever he flashed right in front of my eyes my vision went all white for about 3 seconds. Daniel seemed to enjoy watching me covering my eyes and rolling on the ground so the process repeated for about 10 minutes until I accidentally fell over Shawn and waking him up. Daniel also flashed the puzzled Shawn and I think he was also blinded. We all finally fell asleep at about 6.30 in the morning. At about 1 pm the next day I awoken by Shawn's poking at my ass. We found Dan in his room reading some notes ( He had a NCC test that day ) and he sold me 5 bleach manga (which he found in the dustbin ) for $20. Dan's mum brought for chicken rice before fetching him to school leaving Shawn and I at his home. We played till about 3 when Dan came back and then continuing to play till 7pm. Dan's mum brought us to dinner before sending us back home.
