P7302488 P7302486

doing things at my own pace

listening to the songs playing out loud

n get to talk to Bryan

 

lunch time before i went back

something happened

i talked to Yuling

she was so serious to find out

when i said that

“i do rag for fuck”

kept telling me nonsenses like

we working together as a team

excessive sleep is unfair to the others

 

told her my point of attitude

  1. i do rag for interest, not hall stay
  2. i am not sacrifing my social life etc
  3. i hate to be woken up from sleep, during normal sleep hour
  4. i don’t have the team spirit
  5. i still do work, to keep my promise
  6. i still do work accurately, because of my own self-principle
  7. i purposely isolate myself from the rag people

go to hell

i just don’t give a damn

she seriously is the best candidate

for rag chair next year

Thu 30.07.09

working hour: 5.00 pm –8.00 am

song of the day – Craig David – 7 Days

 

came down at 5

feeling very sick

Geok Han my boss was here

she came out with a new design for the well

together with Andrew

and it’s still cadbury

but this is a bit more challenging

no grid line

and they must fit one another

 

no worries

i am the cadbury expert now

 

today dinner time was international student night

PRC, Indon put up band performance etc

then rag rush

but we didn’t have much to mass produce

for the time being

so they ended up doing things

that will never ever be seen on the float

 

then dinner

super hungry

because my lunch was a Top Ten ice-cream

the freshie, Mark put up a public declaration

for Lena

OMG

suddenly i was so excited

no longer sick

 

after shower came down

went to sit with Bryan and company

they were so funny

playing fool of their fellow OG member

showed him my Seiko 5

 

finally found the right way to cut my cadbury

after they left

Nicole came and helped me

we talked

suprisingly, last time Li Ting told me

she couldn’t talk with Nicole

 

cut it all the way till midnite

bites of waffles as supper

P7302497

 

then Jonathan turned up

while me and Siow Chuen were sitting

 

“are you hungry”

“do you want this”said him,

taking out a cup of mini oreo

“i have to go back to do bidding”

then he ran away

P7312502

 

we bursted out laughing

came out with the plan

she should date Bryan

then 4 of us can hang out

mutual friends concept

 

napped for don’t know how long

but not very long

still doing work

talking to Wu Fan

 

Aloysius was damn funny

i walked over and said, “wassup”

he looked on to the ceiling and said “light”

P7312517

 

got a mission to cut paper plates

but i didn’t concentrate much

doing a gift for my date, Jonathan

 

Andrew drew most of the plates

he was damn antsy

the whole hall was having bbq

but we were left out

given the slot of 8.30 to 9.30

nobody told me and Andrew

 

but who would wanna go

in dirty clothes

while the rest all in the FWOC shirts

like some cheap labours

going to cope food

ate another junkie dinner

then Yu Hang brought me these

exchanged the otak for chicken wing from Andrew

P7312521

 

Eugene, the C block guitarist

(best in KR, according to Leonard)

came and took cardboard

surprised that he knew my name

i thought

we were collectively known as the labour gang

i guess that’s the impression

we raggers had in the freshie’s mind too

 

Wu Fan’s date, Jia Ping

finally did something

damn cool

 P7312523 P7312524 P7312525 P7312526

 

lots of senior raggers came back

acted serious, cut my bottles properly

but at the same time

i was still composing message for my date

from BBQ too

damn shiok to add lots sambal to the noodle

 P8012532 P8012534

 

around 1.30 am

4 freshies came in

omg, another declaration

went in immediately

but Sushi kept denying

saying that they we re just

her sis’s friends

 

but the truth was revealed later

the Indian guy was actually the date

scandalous date revealed

 

 

but this guy is very cute

i noticed him on the first day of FWOC

those typical Indian long eyes lashes, round eyes

 

went to E block with Wu Fan

damn funny incident

wanted to send the gift to Jonathan’s room

but there was no name indicated on the door

there was one opened door

Wu Fan approached to knock

wanted to ask where his room is

i just walked along

she turned back, laughing

she saw Jonathan in there

we can’t help but laughing like hell

decided to come again later

 

what i had done for him

P7312527 P7312529 P7312530 P7312531

 

went over to sit with Siow Chuen inside

one Malaysian gang outside

another PRC one

i was in the middle of nowhere

so just shifted inside

cut plastic slices from lunch box

P8012539 

 

then napped

till 6 am

it’s damn difficult to sleep

with Homer sitting nearby

and the PRC gang featuring Lena’s date, Mr. Mark

but sleepiness will  never be defeated

 

3 bottles of coke zero today

another supper with Siow Chuen

on top of the pudding structure

P8012537
