No idea what to title this

Met up with The Group in the afternoon to prepare for a presentation.
We planned to meet at 12 but because of the damned snooze button, I got out of bed only at 11 (instead of 10) and so was late by about an hour.
But in the end I was the third to reach (Jacq and Steph were later), and Clare reached only like 10 minutes before (I think). 
So Yuenyee, who was punctual, waited at KAP Macs for 45 minutes by herself.
Sorry yuenjie!!
If not for her I think our group would sink, really.

Some malay dude asked for my number today when I was walking to clementi's bus stop.
I was so surprised I really gave it to him.
This is a rare occurrence, obviously. HAHAHA.
After I was less shocked I asked him if it's a dare but he said no.
Anw his first text to me was "Hi Rachel, blahblah blah.. Btw I liked what you were wearing just now. Nice cardigan. :)"
But I wasn't wearing a cardigan.
So I replied and told him that.
Then he replied and said it looked like one, and asked me if I was wearing something with long sleeves.
But I wasn't wearing long sleeves too.
Way to go man, that guy.
But I decided to be nice and replied "yeap, sort of"
LOL I bet he asked the wrong person.
He probably saw some other girl, paused to consider if he should ask her for her number, then approached the wrong person in the end.
HAHAHA.
Too bad for him.

sundown racepack collection

Weekend  taken up by two days of events work.
12 hours for both days.
Kill me please, someone.
I don't want to wake up at 6.30 am tomorrow and travel to expo again #fml
Why didn't the world end today?
I could be lounging in heaven eating grapes now.

"such a stiff upper lip you possess"

Was reading a book when I came across the phrase above and was reminded of one of the songs Raindrops always plays.


From wiki (as always), "one who has a stiff upper lip displays fortitude in the face of adversity".
Alrrrrright then! I have decided that I shall keep my upper lip permanently stiff too. Hahahaha


Got a little sick of this song when I was still working at Raindrops, but I haven't heard it in a long time so now I actually find it quite enjoyable. The lyrics are pretty cute. "Chinnnnnn up!"




What made good queen bess
Such a great success?
What made wellington
Do what he did at waterloo?
What makes every englishman
A fighter through and through?
It isnt roast beef, or ale, or home, or mother
Its just a little thing they sing to one another
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
Carry on, old fluff
Chin up, keep muddling through
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When the goings rough
Pip pip to old man trouble
And a toodly-oo too
Carry on through thick and thin
If you feel youre in the right
Does the fighting spirit win?
Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When youre in the stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
(instrumental bridge)
When a bounder starts to hiss
You must give him blow for blow
Make the blighter say, "whats this?
'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo"
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When youre in the stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through


Today really wasn't a good day, may tomorrow be a better one.

Sphinx

"maintained a silence that would put a Sphinx to shame"

HAHA I like this phrase :3


This is The Great Sphinx of Giza

Got this riddle from wiki, it's supposed to be the most famous riddle in history asked by a Sphinx:
Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?

































The answer is man.
Man crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then walks with a cane in old age.

COOL HUHH

i am a stressed out ant

I think I am too stressed.
Suddenly so many strands of hair are falling out.
No joke, even my eyelashes are getting sparse.
Every time when I am doing work suddenly one or two strands of eyelashes will fall onto my paper/laptop/phone. 
WTSSSSSSSS :( :(

Anyway I was so nervous the whole day today cause of the stupid telephone etiquette test for BCOMM2.
My teacher is supposed to call us and we will have to pretend to be from a call centre and handle her call like a pro.
Every time the phone vibrates I almost jump out of my skin.
In the end I didn't even receive the call cause the teacher didn't manage to have time to call everyone today, so tomorrow is another day of torture.
At least till 1pm.
:|
Actually it's only a 5-10 minutes phone call and this test is only worth 5% my grade but helllllllllllll, it's really mental torture man.

Please let tomorrow be over soon!

"Good afternoon, Pacific Century Call Centre. This is Rachel speaking, how may I help you?"
WAHHHH GOOSEBUMPSSSS.
I rather go jiak sai.
Nah, not really.

Haven't done a picture post in awhile so

..... tada! I need a place to display all the nonsense photos I took

 I built a nanhua.
AHAHAHAHA.
I like to shout "nanhua!" every time I throw a nan tile.
I have a talent and that's self amusement.
HAHAHAHAHAH 

 Lousy wahjong always has this glitch. Where are my tiles????????????

 I sneezed a bunch of wontons

Apple juice which I left in the freezer and forgot about. I like it though. It's slushyyyy.

 Finger spa.
HAHAHAHAHA

 BRAINSSSS
(this is the filling in a xiaolongbao btw)

 At Steph's house baking a cake for Avril and Clare's birthdays and I am in shock.

 And this is one of Steph's dogs Daniel.

Kidding! His name is Pudding but I think it's too gay for a male dog, so I insist on calling it Daniel.
If I have a dog I would call it Daniel :3

Daniel (Pudding) is not caged up by the way, the grills are just a partition.
 

This is the cake we baked. Doesn't look like much but it's pretty good (Y)

Just realised the kangaroos on my packet of elastics (for my braces) are wearing gloves. They are Kangaroo Jacks! Cute :3

 An eyecandy to end the post. YAY for more cuteness HAHA

gandhi meeting+cool shit

Today was great :3
Met up with gandhi (OBS) for dinner together after almost two months of not seeing them.
YAYYY
It would be a pity if we all just lose contact with each other after the camp.
Anw, we started talking about CCAs and I realised the number of CCA points I have is atrocious.
I have a grand total of 3. HAHAHAHAHA
Eh I used have an A for CCA (I think), now I'm like a lazy slacker.

THIS CANNOT GO ON.
Nah, I say only. Sleep is important too.
I wanna join astronomy. I can sneak some sleep time while lying down and star gazing.
HAHA KIDDING.
I don't love sleep that much.

K so now my CCA options are: astronomy, HI Club, muay thai, floorball, and handball
I really suck at ball games though.
But then again, ball games are fun.

And I found out today that one of my friends proposed to his girlfriend.
A real proposal all. With a ring and an intention to really get married someday. (The ring is not a cheapo ring btw)
His girlfriend agreed, so now he is technically engaged.
I was thinking like WOAHHHH.
This is cool.
And then I remembered I am at an age where I can get married too :'(
This is weird. I can still clearly remember stuff that happened when I was 8. Which is like a decade ago.
A decade.
WOW
I wanna go back to being 8 to see what it feels like.
