I have this irresistable urge to jam-pack my days with waaay too many activities whenever a significant event comes along. There's a indescribable joy in doing stuff, stuff and more stuff without thinking about anything. Thus this post, sadly, is one of those "I did this, I did that" posts which I'm so against writing.
The significant event which kicked it off was my official ORD from National Service 2 days ago:
1. Thursday was:
a. Booking in for the last time to collect my coveted pink i/c, eating in the canteen for the last time, saying bye to all my colleagues (and saying, "Dont worry la, it'll be your turn in a few more months.." more than once), and just grinning in euphoria the whole morning.
Before:
And After:
b. Heading straight to tampines mall to cut and dye my hair (at a cutthroat price of $110. Bloody pirates.) Its a lovely shade of just-finished-swimming-brown now, subtle enough not to be ah beng, but obvious enough to justify the price.
c. Watching Take the Lead (Great show with a fantastic hip-hop soundtrack and inspiring enough to make me wanna take salsa / ballroom classes. Anyone?) and a sushi dinner with Kelly.
d. A lousy night at Smoove with buddies Ed, Jason and Wei Kiat. MOS is seriously overhyped, with expensive drinks, lousy air-conditioning and waaaaaaaaaay too many guys and drunk girls.
2. Friday was:
a. Dragging my post-clubbing-slept-at-5.30am ass up at 8am to go for a Level One rock climbing course at Climb Adventure, this indoor rock climbing centre at Tanjong Pagar, a strangely rewarding experience. A new hobby discovered, with a perfect opportunity to train up beefy forearms in prep for the US of A, all thanks to Chia How. :)
b. And the perfect way to end the flurry of activities: Meeting 9 of the Penn Singaporeans of the Class of 2010 for the first time over dinner at Subway and drinks at Chijmes. A bunch of extremely intelligent guys and girls (who're incidentally all from HC and RJ, with the guys all from Chinese High. Baaah.), yet discovering we've got more in common than I thought. Reigniting the excitement of going to Penn again, with plans to travel, apply for housing and paaaartying. Getting inspired (or more like pressured) to get a decent internship and not waste my few months left in sg. Allaying my fears of having nerdy, mugger friends in uni. I foresee an exciting, study-and-party-to-the-max 4 yrs up ahead!
