didnt post anything yesterday, so i'll start with that...
went for spec course yesterday.. woke up at 5.45 to get ready... was to meet james at 6.30 at the bus stop opposite bowen sec.. we took the bus 854, which was supposed to go to ncc headquarters, but it was so dark and the windows were so fogged up that we missed our stop and ended up in yishun...
we took a look at our watches, and figured out that it was too late... so, we headed to a coffee shop to eat our breakfast... after eating, we made our way back home... when i reached home, my mother ask me why i didnt go for the course.. i told her we missed the reporting time and probably couldnt get in... she insisted i go and that she'd pay for the taxi fare, but i didnt want to... so she called up mr wong, and he called me... and made me go...
i was about to sleep when my phone rang, with the words 'Mr Wong calling' flashing across the screen... bo pian have to pick up... he asked me what happened, so i told him lor... he said i still can go, and he'd pay for the taxi fare... so i called james again, and told him to meet up at the bus stop... again...
so we met up, and this time, we didnt miss the stop... we went into the camp, 2 hrs late... an ncc clt spotted us coming in, and asked us why we were late... told him we lost our way... he then ask me to follow me into an aircon room where all the clts and co of the various units were sitting... and he asked me the famous question, did u dye ur hair? and i said no, of course... they proceeded to ask me many questions, and finally told me to either do something about it or kenna ooc... which stands for out-of-course... and, knowing me, i'd rather go ooc... i didnt even want to do this dumb course anyway... but some some reason, they still wanted me to go see the dc and see what he said...
another clt brought me around the camp looking for him, but couldnt find him... wasted 15 min of my time... so bo pian, had to let me do the course... actually i'd rather go home...
did the course, then went home... during the course, we did m-16 stripping and assembling... i was 3rd last in stripping in stripping the damned rifle, but surprisingly was first in assembling the thing... at least 15 - 20 secs ahead of everyone else... was surprised...
simon sms-ed me during the course, asking me whether i could go cycling at night... arranged with him to meet up at a cross junction near buangkok green... i went there, and waited... then i saw a bike with blinking lights, and thought it was him... didnt turn out to be... but the rider rode to me, and asked me whether i was waiting for simon.. and he introduced himself as zohri, simon's colleauge...
we chatted for awhile, and i asked him for advice on my bike... he told me to change my wheelsets... which i was also thinking of doing anyway...
simon came, and we started riding... we rode via jalan kayu, to seletar camp, through it, to yishun dam, then yishun ave 1, along lower seletar reservoir, to sembawang, then mandai road, down upp thomson road, to ang mo kio ave 1, then ang mo kio ave 10, through chong boon park, then to serangoon gardens... they were passing through where i lived to go home...
i thought the ride was quite short, but i understood that they had work to clear up so i didnt say anything... i was worn out after the ride, rather, still had loads of energy left... considering that our avg speed was 20km/hr, and that we rode for 1 1/2 hrs, i felt that i was quite an ok rider... and i was praised by zohri too... he said that he knew i could go on more, that i wasnt even using all of my energy... i was quite glad... i respected zohri because of his riding, and i knew had it been me and him riding only, we could hit 30km/hr average speed easily... only because simon was leading (he's abit on the plump side) that we couldnt reach that speed...
today i met up with grace to go study, which we did, for about only an hour... haha... couldnt concentrate, too noisy... we talked mostly... saw fara, so went to say hi.. met her friend, i think her name was charmaine?? or charlene... or something else.. haha... after studying, went biking... went so fast today that even a small hump lifted me and my bike into the air... cool... the next hump i came to, i jumped when i went over it, and flew even higher up... cool... haha...
other than that, the day was pretty normal... or ya, i cut my hair...
twin's still in hong kong, miss her loads... but, she coming back tmr!! now i have to find out what time she's landing and go pick her up...
