Hotcakes & Maple Syrup Part 2

Its been a hell of a week. 31 hours of school in 3 days is crazy. Whatever it is, I have 2 tests next week and they are super important so I'm gonna study real hard for them. Yes, I love math and chem. I really do, just that it get veryveryvery frustrating when you spend an hour on a question and you still can't solve it.

Okay I shall stop here. Studying Time! Passing my chem test is gonna be my birthday present to Thomas Dear. haha

Val is coming over tomorrow so I can teach her econs, and guess what she'll be bringing along with her?

HOTCAKES & MAPLE SYRUP!

I have been carving for them since Tuesday, so I made a promise to myself to study damn hard for the next few days cause it will bring me closer to my hotcakes. Woohoo!

-That's My MacDonalds-

Hotcakes & Maple Syrup

Lets see, after my dumb pw pilot test(which went surprising well) on friday, I went to visit my darling Val at school. What can I say, it was on the same train line I had to take home, and I wanted a taste of poly life. Whats funny? I sat through her guitar club lesson, studying my chem. haha.

Anywho's, I HATE Ben's N.U.M friend. I mean when you call someone, you would presume that the person would be the one to answer the phone right? So ya, I called Ben, and screamed "DARLING!"over the line. Wait, I screamed "DARLING!" like 3 times, and after that, the line went dead. You'd figure it was that dumb NUM guy who answered his phone. Shit you man, who gives you the right to hang the line on your friends call, and then again the bloody phone ain't yours. If you're secretly gay with Ben, then say it. Im not gonna steal him away from you. You can have him dude.

Okay whatever, I know im being super sensitive.

After that, happy Val and I went to eat at hougang. We ate at Long John. It's only good food when there's great company yeah. The pic looks kinda gross, but it was damn sweet. No one cuts my fish, and pours clam chowder over it for me, other than Val. I was super stuffed after the fish.

And Val needs to eat more.

After dinner, she went to find her friend, while the dead-but-alive me trained home.

This morning, I stuffed her with hotcakes while I taught her econs. You know what really makes my day? Its when I feel appreciated. And Val makes me feel that way. The little things she does just lets me know im remembered and cared and loved.

-A girl like her is impossible to find-

Youth Day

Today is Youth Day

Today is Study Day

Woke up at 6 to make breakfast for my Darling Val, then sending her off at the train station, feel like a mother sending her child off. bleah.

Okay, STUDY TIME!

wheeeeeeeee

Wait.

Some champion 'cher' typed this in the student portal.

Title: Ongoing Theft
Body: hey Innovians, i would like to remind you people to keep all your valuables safe cause i have just lost my handphone and my new laptop in school.

People People, as a 'cher' in jc, I would think that they would have gotten their basic grammar right.

Lets see what wrong shall we?

1. Did not use Capital letter on the first word of the sentence.
2. Hello! You're addressing the entire jc1 student population, could you sound more formal by typing your 'i' in Caps? I can't believe they complain about us using sms language when they themselves use it. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, or more like 2 wrongs don't make a right.
3. Okay, this is not part of grammar, but didn't your mama remind you to take care of your valuables? I mean, yeah I feel bad that you lost your phone and your NEW laptop, to some gate climbing Indian guy, but I thought teachers were supposed to be responsible creatures. (Oh snap, I just realised the 'cher' modified the message. The previous one had some sentence which went "The suspect is a Indian man who climbs over our school gate.")
4. HA-HAH! see that "a Indian man". Yes people the 'cher' forgot that when your next word starts with a vowel, you use an 'an'. Sigh, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he spelt Indian with a Capital 'I'.
5. This is not part of grammer to, but, thanks alot 'cher' for reminding us to take care of our stuff.

I hope this 'cher' isn't a GP 'cher'

Why Don't You Com'on Over Valerie?

"LOOVE!" was what she called me eveyday, and LOVE was what she showered on me with everyday.

Till today,

Valerie is LOVE.

-Cause She's Sweeter than Apple Pie-

What Do You Remember?

If you'd ask me, this is what I would say....

• I'd remember the way he walked into class for lessons, more like he sashayed in actually.
• The way he liked to poke at the teachers desk when he wanted to emphasize a point.
• Why he took so long to mark our test papers.
• The smoky scent our test papers had.
• His Tiffany rings from the Atlas Collection.
• His blue Crumpler that had this funny black and white toy dog keychained to it.
• His black Tucsan which had rainbow coloured toys on display at the front of the car.
• His love for Adidas.

In my mind, I still can vision him walking into class, writing stuff on the whiteboard, and explaining it to us.

Okay, its kinda weird but my brain has got this ability to remember quite alot of useless info. I remember it was nearing the O's, and Mr Kelvin Tan still had yet to return us our test paper. Honestly, I was a tad annoyed, and so was everyone else. And who else could be better at expressing their discontentment than Benedict right? Ya, and so because of that, the voice of Mr Tan screaming "Lewis Tham! Get out of my class!" is still trapped in my head.

His last question to me was, "So where are you now?", and he didn't believe I was in JC cause I wasn't in my uniform. But I guess I proved it to him when I went back for their sports day. That silent smile he had on his face during sports day was the last tangible site I had of him, and well, maybe that last and only picture I would have with him.

Honestly, I never really did pay attention in his class, be it History or Social Studies. I was either caught up with my math and science, my mind was building sandcastles in the air, or the occasional, yet ever so often little naps I would take everytime he showed us videos. And well, sometimes I'm just more interested at looking at his Tiffany rings. bleah

Maybe thats why I'm not cut out for the arts stream. I don't understand why we need to learn about the past, we know the leaders made mistakes, we know that we are supposed to choose our governments wisely, if not we will just crash and burn and be living in slums. I just never really got the subject.

Whatever the case, God had his reasons. With every passing, it only reminds us to live each day like its the last. And we shouldn't be sad about Mr Tan's passing cause he is gonna have eternal life in heaven. So smile you guys, cause I'm sure thats what he wants to see from above the white fluffy clouds.

REMEMBER?

The Night was a Perfect Shade of Dark Blue

Met Ben at Vivo cause I wanted to watch my Kungfu Panda, but the seats were all way infront. So I passed on the movie. Oh well. We had like 2 hours to pass, so we walked around. Went to Coffee Bean cause Ben wanted his lemon cheesecake. While Ben ate, I did my favourite FOC pastime, People Watching. My Mission: Spot the number of people wearing leggings.

When the guys came, they went to Adidas to play their stupid Euro game, cause Pauline still had yet to reach(The guys spent like an hour at that shop, playing that game. sigh). Huiling and I went to walk around, and I found this super cute sailor striped dress at Forever21. Shall charge to Ben's card next time. hah!

Ben was tired from his chalet, so I was a kind soul.

-

When Pauline came, we headed to Clarke Quay for dinner.

The guys than went to the pub next door to watch some Euro football match. And ya, I sat there wondering why guys find football so fascinating. Snore. Shared cabs home. By the time I was home, it was 2 in the morning. Yup, I was home early. Bleah

Loves

I think this would be our last meeting in the next few months to come. Need settle down and studystudystudy. I'm sure the guys have a ton of their other projects to.

Till then.

-Keep it Strong-

Lost

I guess this would be the time I tell people that I need a break from everything. I really need to find myself right now. Not to sure if I can qualify for the term Depression, but I think Im on my way. It's just that I find it so difficult to sit down and absorb my work. My mind is just so out there that I find it so difficult to contain my thoughts and concentrate. So please do understand. If its one thing that I ask for, its just for your understanding. I know you guys have always showered me with hope, faith and love, and I know I have not been repaying you guys for all that you have done. But I just need to be ALONE, left by my solitary self, away from everything and everyone, and gather my life back together.

Sorry.

Find My Own

Yes, met Ben again (Big Yawn), with Xianglin, Huiling, Thomas Dear and Sherman for N&B TAUHUAY(opposite Zhonghua).

Xianglinlin! I so miss calling her that.
Chemistry!
What can I say, math was more interesting than Ben.

Sometimes I wonder how I managed to endure Ben 5 times a week, for 5 whole years.

After tauhuay, we went to walk around the night market. Remember the last time we walked down that same stretch for night market food? I do I do! After our History paper! Those were good times.

So it was the usual eating and laughing before we headed home, and as for Dear, pubbing at Gardens(sigh). Tired Tired.

You know no matter what, I will still be here for you xl.






Lie with me and just forget the world.

It Started Out As a Feeling, Which Then Grew Into a Hope

Met BEN AGAIN, with Huiling, Yuhang and Penshah. We headed to Vivo cause I wanted to shop, but it ended up with us watching Narnia, all thanks to Yuhang.

The show was pretty good to say the least. If I were the sort to enjoy the fighting shows, I would have said it was super fantastic. Like I said to Ben, I don't think this show is PG, there is so much fighting. But the scenes in the movie were super pretty and the graphics were amazing, so 2 thumbs and toes up for that.

Reepicheep, your so cute!
I guess Yuhang can find some peace standing beside Dr. Cornelius cause his eye bags are far worst than his. Okay, I'm mean.

After the movie, Yuhang left for home with mommy. So the 4 of us went in search for dinner.

Dinner at Carl's Jr.

And boy was dinner hard to swallow talking to these 2 guys. Thank God I shared the meal with Ben. They kept going back to the mass conversation we had the night before. After dinner, we went to walk around the open area. And for Huiling, take more photos.

Lets all practice our math and count how many Penshah photos we have, shall we?

Picture 1

Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4 with Ben
Picture 5 with Ben
(I have no idea what they were doing)

Wheeee. Lookie people we have 5 pictures of Penshah!

How marvelous!

YES PENSHAH, WE KNOW YOUR SINGLE, AVAILABLE & ADORABLE.

WE SO GET THE PICTURE, LITERALLY.

Oh look, 1 MORE PICTURE OF PENSHAH.

And Ben's giving a dumb face, while Huiling's being the rose among the thorns.

I just see too much Pink in these pictures.

It was home after that. You could tell Huiling and Ben were drained.

Which then turned into a quite thought

Which then turned into a quite word

C'est La Vie

Went down to ps with my Godma and Cousin first in the morning. We walked and walked and walked all the way to Wisma, and than we walked all the way back. It was a great opportunity to burn off those extra calories. heh

My childhood game.

Met Ben after I sent my Godma and Cousin off to the train station.

It was Ben's idea to watch this.

The movie wasn't too bad. Hilarious is what I would describe it as. I thought the part when they were rushing for their marriage counseling session was super funny.

After the movie, we met Xianglin and Xiao Tong for dinner. Ate at Pastamania, again, I was so sick of Cartel/Thai Express food. Xiao Tong had to go to work after that and Xianglin had to go home for her second round of dinner.

So Ben and I trained back to Serangoon and took a bus down to Hougang to meet Thomas Dear and Sherman.

Super high when I saw an NTUC cause I have been craving to eat this...

The guys just thought I was plain insane, but it was super yum. Big Smile. And I made a new discovery, who knew the characters on the cereal box had names.

Everyone say 'Hi' to Pop, Crackle and Snap.

Hi!!!!!! *Wave hysterically*

So I was questioning why they named them such weird names and here's what Dear said. Taking the box and examining it "Why not you just call and ask them. I'm sure the number is around here somewhere" How funny.

We just sat around and chatted till it was late, Dear and I found common ground on certain people. Yea!

Time to go home.
