Most dramatic eventful day

If there was a day I would name it as the most eventful day, I believe, up till this day,
it is 16th may 2008.

Firstly, we celebrated our lifes and also celebrated the end of celebrate life seminar with the long awaited DINGING ETIQUETTE!

Some people i would like to highlight are actually... Guys. Hmmz. Interesting.

Basically i don't have much comments for ladies as they usually dress up as much. So well, not much for a surprise. As for guys... The usual casual self of each individual was changed. Definitely.

Here are a few guys who were pretty... SPECIAL.

For the most casual dressed guy award, i have Mr Casey Ong. He arrived with an exceptional dress code. As far as i saw, he was the only guy who was without a long pants. That's kind of holy... But luckily, i didn't see anyone with school uniform. Phew -.-

Most retro award has to go to Mr Leslie Lau. Rainbow stripes accompained by a red tie. That is the most retro, disco style you can ever get! In fact, he was in the spotlight before the course started. Reason being... The brightest among those in black and white.

The most formally dressed award is brought home by Mr Barry Tay. He was the only with a blazer accompained by a tie. The other guy with a blazer didn't have a tie. In fact, he didn't even have a formal shirt inside. Plus!!! He sat beside me -.- Anyway, barry... Wore the full set of formal attire. And what caught my eye was that i have the very same set too )_(. Its the choir full dress code. Oh dear...

Social etiquette was pretty fun with a speaker I believe coming from the same teacher as Mr Edmund Chu. He is very much alike to MC. And of course the similarity applies to Mr Chu. Haiz. Wonder when i'll stop facing lame people. Haiz...

The food was everyone's attention spot since the course took quite long and sure dragged the time away from our usual lunch hour. Which is by the way, already quite late. Lol. So by the time the nice lady starts to talk about dining, everyone's stomach was growling!

And when the long-awaited food finally arrived, everyone was filled with a black face. But well, just be glad we don't have prawns to work with. Just some spagetti. But either way, people were cheating. Haha.

When to changi airport! Terminal 3 is really nice and cool, other than the fact that shops were largely underdeveloped. In other words, going there without an air ticket would mean boredom, especially in the night when the design didn't allow you to view planes taking off from the viewing mall. Lol.

So walked around, realised there wasn't food affordable for us and a viewing mall that couldn't see planes therefore when to terminal 2! The Skytrain is still pretty cool! With a view like the train you take from vivo to sentosa. Lol. But well, the scenery is as nice but that's the best you could get already.

Stood at the viewing mall for like an hour? Interesting things happened =P.

Then decided to went back home but things didn't go our way. Being a first-timer taking the trian to changi airport, i naturally didn't know that you needed to get off at tanah merah interchange in other to go back to town.

As a result... WE MISSED THE LAST TRAIN!

Oh dear! The only times i ever missed the last train is when there are cars to ferry me anyway. Lol. So ya, its quite an adventure. And from changi airport, the only way(we thought then), was to go to tampiness interchange and take 969. Which would go to both yishun and admiralty.

But... when we got there, the last bus just left. So stranded was we, ren shen di bu shou. Fear, was just an ingredient, that was indispensable.

Took the best bus we could that would ultimately take us to toa payoh. Nearest to our homes there could ever be. But as fate had it, things weren't going to go the way we wanted it to. Instead of the 1hour ride that the bus captain promised, it took more like 1hour and 15 minutes.

Most people would just think, its just 15 minutes, so niao for what? But if you were there, sitting on a bus that you've never been on before, along a road you've never seen before, feeling uncertainty like you never did before, 15 minutes would feel like 2 hours.

In the wee hours of the morning, where the sun is still hours from rising, we arrived at toa payoh bus terminal. Instead of life and light, what i saw was deadness and black. Other than a few construction workers doing something which i have no idea.

This, is the face of toa payoh I've never seen before.
Silence accompanied by darkness.

We decided to take a risk in taking a cab. Luckily the driver assured us that the money we had was enough. Imagine what would have happened if we took it from tampiness? Or worse, changi? Night charge isn't funny.

And I learned it the hard way.

Luckily, we survived with barely enough money. But it warms my heart to see that kind people still do exist in the world! The cab fee was $26.10, 150% of the norm. And the super kind uncle charged me only $20. Plus, he insisted on going straight to my house, instead of northpoint which was nearer, and obviously cheaper.

With oil prices skyrocketing, a trip from Toa Payoh to Admiralty then Yishun would no doubt take more than 10 kilometres, and based on taxi engines, i think that the trip would take the driver at least 1litres or perhaps even 2. And he still nicely charged me $20 only.

How grateful thou art. I shall be kind to taxi drivers everytime. And those negative comments about them on the papers and news, i would now prefer only to listen to the good side. Haha.

Broke my record and arrived home at 1.55am from a trip with friends and not family, school or any dependable organisation. So its pretty... Phew.

Anyways, happy belated birthday to jiaqi, sorry i couldn't be there =P. If i was, all these wouldn't happened =P.
