# Found
Thursday
It seems so long ago, looking back. It was rather a dull day other than the fact it was fry-day. Eugene and JoJo had quite a fun time giving out points. Sorry to Shermin and co who walked away and missed 1000 pts. Mostly did scholarships and university applications. Mostly a boring day, feeling rather lost. And was actually looking forward to Friday. Mahjong seemed tempting.
Friday
Continued applications from the previous day. Also saw Eugene playing TD with Aaron. Had Canadian $10 lunch as well with the RTs. Nice. Im really not in the mood to blog, but its sort of the reason why im blogging. Just wanna be FOUND. By so many poeple. But I'll be back on this issue. More of what happened next that was quite exciting.
Guest appearance of Jia Yi in TJ. Met her at scroom. Had quite a nice time talking. About council. What went right and the many wrongs. The traditions. The fun. The mistakes. The fights. The people. Its common knowledge that the 29 has been outshined by the 30. We all know they've pulled the right strings in and left some loose. They've held the right people close while for us, its only a shadow to be feared.
A unity we could only hold together has been cemented
Privileged
Yet not knowing the price
Strong
Yet lacking the refining fire
Favoured
Unknowingly masochistic
Great
Yet ungrateful through time
Yet what can a shadow say
Observing
Yet what is lost cannot be found
Stepping away
Council has been good. It always will be, it's the very essence that keeps it going. No matter the batch, the traditions held, the culture taught or the knowledge passed down. It will groom you if you let it. It will teach you if you are willing to learn. To Diantha and Cadence, if you want to run for council, give it your best shot. If you get in, don't waste the many chances to learn and grow. It won't be easy, I know, but it will be harder if you get in and don't benefit from it.
Had a great time talking with JY, showed her 06 and 21 in the hall during the emo time they had. Danced two mass dances and a speedy. Laughed a lot at the chaotic fun-dance. Pointed out ppl like Eugene, Samuel, Cadence, Yumei, Mengting and others from 06 and Julie, Shuming and others from 21. Didn't find 04. Sorry. But then, all good things come to an end and it was time to leave the hall.
Back to scroom and then left to meet 06. Yay. But then realised i didn't have my wallet with me. Made 06 wait quite a lot. Sorry Yumei, knew u were really not feeling weel. Rushed to the staffroom and realised i didn't have my wallet. So I was heading for dinner at Simpang with 06 OGLs + Joanne without any money. But of course they weren't gonna let me starve and Cadence and Diantha offered money. Txs for the offer and esp Diantha for the $10.
Walked to the 2 and 9 bus stop and got on after quite a long wait and a talk on sc life. Finally reached Simpang Bedok and met 21 there. Haha, Shuming was so terrified of the pokes. And i did finally give in to one poke as 21 were leaving. Sat down and took almost forever to order. The menu wasn't very clear or helpful either so I had a mango with lychee dessert and 1 plain and 1 egg prata (read roti canai to Malaysians). Should have ordered my dessert later cuz it came way before anything and I slowly ate it. Some things i found out that night
- Cadence is a VERY slow eater
- Diantha is a slow eater
- Cadence, Karilynn and Dianthaaaaa all wear braces
- Stephanie is a healthy eater
- Yingen and Jaren eat fast
- (i already knew this but) 06 is full of cam-whores. Haha
Then after a very long dinner and queue time paying we left for Yumei's. The surviving people that made it there were just Yumei (duh), Ying and Jar EN, Cadence and Dianthaaaaa.
Had a nice bus ride with almost the whole bus to ourselves then reached Yumei's place which is so cool. Wish I could stay there. Haha. But the rooftop is really nice. Except people that are still high from orientation decide to bang the railings to cheer beats and stomp on the rooftop rather than enjoy the scenery. Took more pictures. Man... One should get Yumei an analogue camera and see how she suffers with film. Then went down for Mahjong and i surfed the net.
Took a swap after that and played mahjong instead, but ended up losing all anyway. Yup, so my mahjong skills haven been upgraded. But this time I could play without reference to the paper. Ok fine, I had to ask Yumei or Diantha, but well, i wasn't totally blur. I think. lolz.
Then had more fun playing bridge with Diantha. Ok, clarification on the scoreline, it was 3-2. So nobody thrashed anyone although i totally owned the first game and she almost owned the last no-trump game until I got control. Haha. Finally got the mahjong ppl to bridge. Which was a good thing cuz 4 man bridge is so much better. Bad thing cuz Yumei doesn't bridge so she curled up on a sofa and slept. Sorry to Yumei again. Then instead of leaving at 11 to get the last bus, we decided to stay till 11.50 to cab home and avoid the midnight surcharge. Jaren got his dad to come.
So we bridged on, was really fun to bridge once again, legally. Haha. And major discovery here is....
-Dianthaaaaa is the ultimate blur queen at bridge! *gives stacks of mahjong tiles!!!*
Finally we decided to leave and Dianthaaaaa led the way. You can so tell that this was a recipe for disaster but we were all too tired to realise. She didn't know the way. So we just walked till we reached a road. So much for avoiding the midnight charge. Then we found a taxi. Without a driver... Dotzzzz... Continued walking until we found a cab and took it home, with Cadence dropping off first in TP, then Dianthaaaaa the blur queen at Simei and me last. For the record, I owe
-Eugene $10
-Zsa Zsa $10
-Cadence $7
-Dianthaaaaa da blur $17
Oh well, it was a nice time (=Labels: bridge, Cadence, council, Dianthaaaaa, Eugene, Jaren, Jia Yi, Julie, Karilynn, mahjong, Shuming, Simpang, Stehanie, Yingen, Yumei, Zsa^2
