yes, it represents LPS, in case you didn't know or forgot. mid-autumn festival festival at lps. actually, i should start on the details...
school dismiss at 12.40pm, so i rushed off to bukit batok. played pokemon "gold" on my fone in the bus. stupid idea, really. i'll tell u why later. anyways, i reached there at about 2.15pm, 20 minutes late. oops. met sam there and we walked to lps to visit mrs tan.
apparently she was busy doing business. REAL business. selling candy floss, i mean. we bought one stick each, with the floss larger than our heads. only for two bucks! not bad a deal, huh? and then i saw the makeshift stage in the quadrangle with a huge banner saying "lianhua-hillgrove mid autumn festival -something-". lucky it was a friday. as it turned out, both sam and i could make it. lucky.
but mrs tan had a class, so she couldn't entertain us for long. and since sam hadn't had lunch yet, we headed to the kopitiam for our beloved prata! studied (argued about) bio while waiting for the food to come. and when the food came, it tasted great, just like everytime i eat there.
strolled back to school after lunch to wait for teacher. we still had about an hour, so we made our way to the canteen to study. and unlike any other study sessions with frens, this one actually worked for me. sam, you are a right genius. no sarcarsm this time. haha.
4 o'clock. we waited at the lift landing for mrs tan. took a quick glance at the "model essays" printed and pasted on the noticeboard and missed mrs tan -.- luckily we caught her again. then she invited us into the teacher's room and we had a seat.
finally, a piece of info that may interest more than one person. we discussed about our potential FLL venture. and she AGREED to it. heard that, shaun? so good luck to your all-star team. and mshs too.
once the deal was done, we just stayed anyway and chatted. i found out that mrs tan is a very good multi-tasker. she talked to me, listened to sam, answered a call, and marked her work all at the same time. cool eh? oh, and we witnessed the undressing of geneus the giraffe too. it was a harrowing experience. i'd rather not elaborate :s
6pm came and went. mrs tan had to start to prepare her stall for the night. so we helped, of course. and i started asking more people to come. funny, of the 7 people i asked, only 1 could make it. aiyah, what a waste of smses. and a waste of battery too.
7pm. the event started. members of the public started streaming in. the moon was now visible, at a slightly-more-than-half moon. or "gibbons moon" according to sam. at least, that was how it sounded like.
8pm. it was getting quite dark. perfect for night-stalker-sam to make his move. we walked to guilin view's playground and waited there. correction: i waited paitiently while sam was thinking of a way to ambush a person from behind.
jenna came down, and IMMEDIATELY spotted sam. ha. he was wearing white uniform, btw. too bad for him, his ambush didn't work.
after the excitement of spotting sam in the dark, we sat down the discussed about FLL and starlight over a packet of twisties. slowly, more frens came. zhiyang, abel, ryan (who wanted to burn something), and zhiyi. then they called keith down. then estella. kai ler wasn't at home i think... but anyway, we headed back to lps after that.
business was good for mrs tan and company. there was a super long queue stretching from her stall all the way to china. candy floss was selling fast. the dino eggs not so... but the light bands were doing the best, i think. almost every kid was wearing one of them. i bought 2, sam bought 1, ryan bought 1, zhiyi bought 1, abel bought 1, jenna got 1, keith bought 1, and andrew bought 1 too.
9.30pm=curfew time, so we headed back to guilin view. abel, ryan, keith, and andrew went to the "wedding" machines to get drinks. zhiyi, sam, and i walked around the condo after saying goodbye to jen, and then joined up with the others later. home was where most of them were headed, so home we went. such an eventful day, such a lousy anti-climax ending. as it is with everything.
and ill is what i've become. so goodnight.
