free cone day!

heya! haven't been blogging for a while, so just popped by to say, today's ben & jerry's free cone day!

in short, u get free ice-cream at almost all ben & jerry outlets as long as you're willing to queue ^^ and i got my first ben & jerry's icecream! It's pretty good, so i guess i'll be patronising them in the future XD their advertising and promotion really worked (on me at least) heh.

uh yeah. I LOVE ICECREAM! ok i finally declared my <3 for you, dear darling icecream. hee.

ok fine i shall blog on a bit more, uh i've been really busy these days -who isn't?- with jap club stuff and all. so we went to suntec city on sat to prepare for jap club farewell and yeah, it's going to be tmr! hope it goes fine and all goes well and everyone has fun.

sigh there's still one whole year ahead to organize! anyone has ideas for jap club sessions ahead?

uhh there was astro speeches, which went ok bah. seriously that room was freezing. the aircon was blowing straight at us! >.<

and there's bridge comp on thurs. so much for a holiday ): i need to mug bridge but i have no time today. or tmr. ok imsodead.

bleh i need more than just 24 hours a day. i need like 100 hours a day nownownow!!

yeah congrats to rj girls for winning bowling again! and well congrats to acjc boys for being pros >.<

fried green elephants.

as you should know, i hate art. very much. but for once, i actually picked up an art pen(mouse?) and drew some pictures(with the mouse)! this shows how random i am T.T so treasure the following masterpieces.

i present you, classics of the year century! (yes my creations.)

ok intros. apparently there's some mnemonic created (by certain astro ppl) to rmb saturn's rings. as most of us should rmb, rg/rj ppl once came up with one rather convenient one to rmb by. XD

but nope today's not about that. it's about this new interesting one that involves -insert any D-name- Couldn't Buy A Fried Green Elephant.

eg. Dingdong Couldn't Buy A Fried Green Elephant. (D-C-B-A-F-G-E)

so i was inspired to illustrate the FGE as imagined by me, myself and i.

it's rather self-explanatory. ahhh the elephant is soooo cute! <3333

um anw my interpretation of being fried is being struck by lightning. the black frizzy stuff on its head is its poor three and only three hairs being fried. ):

and uh very exp ($$$!) is bcos Dingdong couldn't buy it. XP

then someone said that he had imagined it to be fried. like frying. so it inspired a second and improved version of the FGE!

FGE the 2nd!

uh i drew the fire bcos u need a fire to fry the pan, then u need a source for the fire, so i drew logs and it ended up as a bonfire. ^^" poor elephant is getting more fried now.

then the same someone decided he missed the lightning.

FGE the 3rd getting even more fried.

yeah so i drew two lightnings! now it looks a bit like a PAP supporter XD

appreciate the masterpieces! for you may never ever see one by cherica again. anw the elephant is either dead, or alive. up to your interpretation. (more like i couldn't decide whether to kill it or to leave it frying >.<)

p.s. just ignore the randomness of this post. i just felt i needed to put up these pics somewhere bcos it's just tooo cute! plus i hardly ever draw stuff, so such inspiration is rare.

p.s.s. just goes to show how free i am to be drawing random stuff like this. how i like to procrastinate. =P

p.s.s.s. credits to creators of the inspiring mnemonic (you know who you are), ms paint, my mouse, my computer screen, my index finger, my brain, my eyes, etc etc...

umm.

uhh there's a lot of things that's been happening these days that i don't know where to begin.

hmm like there's the ever-existing homework piling up. yeah i should be doing my math assignment now but i feel like blogging XP. ok after this shall be math. haha

yay my napfa is over and NO MORE 2.4 TILL NEXT YEAR! (i shall worry about that next year.)

happy belated birthday gl! and happy early birthday blaws! tmr's her bday, and also the day titanic sank. haha ok fine that's just something i rmbed from our sec 1 history birthday assignment.

my birthday, on the other hand...erhem the only significant thing that happened was something like sars quarantine has been lifted after dunno how many days of no new cases. how interesting. T.T

i signed up for inline skating as first choice for my pe electives, followed by archery and i can't rmb what. i was considering tennis, but i guess it's more fun to learn new stuff than er learn how to volley and smash all over again -.-" i probably would be getting my first or second choice i guess, since i got gold for napfa (yay!)

i do want sparring partners though. anyone who knows how to play tennis free for a game sometime?

ah yes and there was the lyrids star party. it's the first time i joined mpastro's afternoon activities. it's pretty dry actually, except that the movie was good. go watch! it's called contact. the boring lecture would have been fine if not for the kids getting bored and distracting me. ah yes the temasec sec kids i had to look after since weilin wasn't around till night. so yeah i was like multitasking, trying to pay attention to both sides at once and obviously missing out bits of the presentation T.T

oh yes that just reminded me, dlu is sooo mean. he abandoned us after pledging his time off for us! how cann like that? for mlm somemore. i alrd explicitly and inexplicitly mentioned my extreme dislike for mlm! im anti-mlm blahhh and he has to be so enthu about it somemore. ):

station games involved only one random game with us forming groups and getting blindfolded following some maze of strings. first to get to the end wins. er i have a feeling my group was last, but it's ok, the kids got first! haha good for them ^^

after which we had refreshments and er walked around waiting for the bus to arrive and fetch us to ecp.

hmm yeah e.w. left too, but at least he stayed till the end of afternoon activities as he promised. -glares at certain delusion- er yeah so we went off to ecp, and yay for clear skies! i must really thank helix for keeping me company till we met rj/rg ppl (: ok it's more of he had no other choice but yeah thanks anw haha. and yes i know you're reading this bcos apparently u read my blog. im pretty surprised haha.

it was a nice nightsky, probably bcos it rained in the afternoon so the clouds cleared up. we must thank weilin for all her groundsheets, which she later threw away. she's richhh. haha she brought like 3 groundsheets??

then we played night bridge, which was a first for me. it's pretty uncomfortable bcos u can't see your cards and i kept putting my cards in the wrong order, thinking the diamonds is hearts and clubs is spades. bleh. it was pretty fun though, considering my brain was pretty dead from lack of sleep and all.

then there was the treasure hunt which involved a lot of walking (and thinking? haha). i think we walked back and forth loads of times. there were riddles and stations we had to do, such as digging through ice, blindfolded and looking for a coin. it sounds easy, but it's really exasperating when your fingers get all numb and u can feel no difference between all the ice and stuff. and it was pretty painful.

and the riddles were so lame! i had no idea about them at all! i must say my mind capacity does not include enough lameness. stuff like

what has 4 wheels and flies? garbage truck. you know, flies?
what is the longest word in english? smiles, because there's a mile between the first and last letter
who is closer to you, your mom or your dad? mom, because your dad is father (farther)

-.-" lame right. i nv even heard of them b4 lahh.

ah well our group apparently got first this time, but we let the kids win bcos they were a close second and we didn't want any prizes. i think it was some namecard holder? i don't even have namecards T.T

hmm i saw like no lyrids meteors at all, bcos we were doing random stuff like walking from the site to 7-eleven and back and to macs and back again. one trip there and back takes around half an hour, so it's quite a good way to do exercise and waste while time away. hee. er no im not joking. XD

jovina didn't tell us ghost stories this time! bleh. but it's ok, i don't think she has any more ghost stories i don't know alrd. the kids kindof all fell asleep even though they wanted to stay up. they're so cute! haha

i don't regret going for lyrids even though i saw no meteors (except possibly a sporadic one but not sure so nvm). i saw quite a lot of stars and stuff through the telescopes and it's been sooo long since i looked through one. i mean properly with stuff to look at, not looking at random leaves outside rj in broad daylight. i like saturn best through the telescope, it's super cute! im sure blaws agrees.

i kindof missed the sunrise thanks to my half hour power nap from 6 to 6.30am XD but yeah it was a nice feeling to wake up to see the beautiful sky dawning upon u, and hearing your friends' voices around you. i kindof lagged a bit the moment i woke up bcos i was in shock that i actually fell asleep, and also bcos i was feeling safe and cuddly and warm. haha didn't want to get up >.<

we played H2O uno which lasted more than 40 minutes or something. that one game was really amazing, and helix had LOADS of cards. hahahaha like more than half of the whole deck. well at least he didn't get last, jp got last instead wahaha. i was saboing him with my greens and he kept saboing me with his yellows. i have no idea how the uno card distribution was so skewed, but yeah somehow i always lacked one particular colour that he has a lot of.

we then played games like heart attack and snap, which really gave me heart attack bcos i am terrible at them. XP that's why i prefer bridge or even big 2, bcos it's stuff i can actually win, unlike reflex games. and the games just made my hand hurt, which is really not desirable haha.

okok i really need to go do my math assignment like now now now! i think my account for lyrids this time is pretty incoherent to outsiders, bcos my train of thoughts is rather random. haha one whole night is too much to be compressed into one blog post so easily. there's much more to it than just what's been mentioned above, but it's for me to know, and nope you don't get to find out. (:

come join us in the end-of-year geminids, im sure it would be much more fruitful. though i must say that im pretty sian of staying up whole nights at star parties bcos i have done all those things b4 alrd, including counting meteors and stuff.

except bridge. i would never tire of bridge (:
