♥ 3:10 AM
hi guys. its been so long since im online! D:
anyway. feel like utter shit now. here's why:
NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTYING.
hahaha. went for a sleepover at kenneth's place, but the name itself is ironic. both cgs went for this stupid party, and of course, everyone got really high and didnt sleep:D waited for the count down, played Halo (well not really. mostly just died repeatedly), spazzed hopelessly with the tv's Channel5 countdown party, and then watched some fail movies. played ninja! which is a really awesome game, and then played Polar Bear& hunter, but it also failed because everyone kept voting gerald out, regardless of whether he's the doctor. -.-
...finally slept at 5am, but it was pathetic too. the place we stayed in was actually a gallery, or a warehouse, but eitherway its just really big, empty, and with POWERFUL AIR-CONS. BLOODY AMAZING STUFF. i bet the friggin temperature was like, TWELVE DEGREES, or some other stupid shit. We couldn't turn it warmer cos they lost the remote, and we didnt want to off it or there'd be no ventillation. so yeah. felt like Oliver Twist from a Charles' Dickens' novel, freezing into a curl on the streets of london. i brought a sleeping bag, but someone stole it, and xuan ran off to sleep outside the gallery itself. oh wait. she later told me she stayed outside the building itself and didnt sleep much either. i think i got kicked by this random guy who was sleeping next to me, which explains the ache in my legs...
think ive got a fever. hur hur. so much for new year's festivities.
so.......
(bottom line: I SLEPT ON THE FLOOR, WITHOUT A BLANKET, IN A TWELVE DEGREES ENVIRONMENT, AT 5AM. FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR. AND PROBABLY GOT KICKED IN THE KIDNEYS BY OTHER KIDS WHO WERE SPASMING IN THE COLD TOO.)
guess you really
can party too hard. ):
NYWAY. since blogging at this hour only involves twitching fingers, i shall relay the Epic NS story of the year here, as a special dedication to my dear maria, who i had for lunch today. :)
somewhere at the end of NS training, it is said that They throw you into a funny foreign country for a week or so, to test your basic survival skills, and general manliness. so here is my friend's tale, he got banished to Brunei. (how apt.)"They put us (oh yes, in teams of around.. five?) in the middle of some jungle, to stay for a week. There just trees everywhere, so we hiked around blindly until we came to a small river, where we decided to make camp. We took out our parangs and start chopping down some small trees, to make a sort of shelter against wild animals and the rain.In brunei, every single thing is TIMES THREE the size of singapore. Black ants upgrade from sesame seed sized to FINGERNAIL size. one of them bit me, and i could pull its body out of my arm. its severed head with those bloody teeth were still latched onto my skin. "Anyway, we're all really tired from the hiking and generally trying to survive, and so we take a break. one of my friends wander off towards the river, probably to take a piss. He suddenly sees two black balls in the river, but thinks he's hallucinating, so he ignores it. suddenly, he reallises those two black spots are eyeballs, and they're coming towards him. oh shit. he starts backing away from the river, only to see the eyeballs connect to a rather large crocodile head, which surfaces and snaps, showing off its fearsome ugly teeth. the guy lets out a terrified scream and dashes back to camp, while the rest of us laugh hysterically after he's explained why his pants are still down.Elsewhere, in another camp, one of my friends got attacked by hornets. They're not the normal smallish bumble-bees in singapore, but this is the Real Deal, the kind of killer hornets that can kill. So while the team was trying to chop down some trees, he got attacked by them at the bottom of this hill. It gets pretty bad, he's been stung nine or ten times, and he cant feel his fingers or toes... ... when suddenly, in a scene almost out of some Rambo movie, the most buff guy in their team picks him up and charges up the hill, away from the hornets. The poor guy is swollen and in septic shock, while the rest of the team's panicking and trying to not let him die. They frantically call back to base, while replies that they'll send a chopper over. Meanwhile, everyone else is madly chopping down MORE trees to clear an area for the chopper to see them.Finally the helicopter arrives. They wrap the guy up in some body-bag, while the chopper throws a rope down. After attaching him to it, and pull the guy up, and fly away.... and leave the stunned remaining team to finish their days with one less guy.After which, they go back to chopping more trees for their shelter.hahahahaha. champion right. yay for our NS men. :)
