.: ~qetest safra~ :.

~it's really no laughing matter when a bad cough hits. u can really cough non-stop until u squeeze ur tear glands dry and ur abdomen screams in pain. sigh...
~was still contemplating whether to go for the grp 5 combined group 6, and later combined group 2 bbq at safra chalet on tue morn cos my cough was really quite bad. when i get into a coughing fit, i really can't stop, and tears really flow, and i will look like i am shivering. but i decided to go in the end. and so i left home at 11 plus and reached tanah merah at 12.55, 5 min earlier that the stipulated meeting time. and guess wat, i was the earliest haha. i was still afraid i had either gotten the meeting place or meeting time, or, both, wrong. but i was just early. after everyone reached, we sat the shuttle bus to the chalet. then we went bowling. it's not that i was ever a good bowler in the past, but my bowling skills really deproved a lot... i only bowl when i am at chalet with friends, but usually i still manage to hit a score of 100 or more fairly comfortably. but this time, i am struggling just to reach an a1 (75)... u look at the score.. 0, strike, 0, and u noe i am a player dependent on luck haha... the next time i bowl, i aim to bowl with style :p after bowling, some went back to play mahjong, while the rest stayed for a game of pool. i have never played pool before, so i was urged to go try. and so i did. i really didn't know anything about it. first qn i asked when i held the stick(is tat wat it's called?) was...how do you hold the stick? then ... wat's the purpose of the game? so now i know you must create a bridge to place the stick into a gap through which u slide and hit the white ball. the black ball is an untouchable unless u are claiming victory already. depending on which ball you, or your opponent, first hit into a pocket, you try to get all of that kind of ball, striped or solid, into the pockets. and so i learnt step by step. my first try, aim was to hit the white ball. second try, aim was to hit the ball i was aiming for with the white ball. subsequent tries, to hit the ball into the pocket. first game, i hit 0 balls into the pocket. second and third games, 1 ball each. not bad, i feel, for myself.. haha... after pool, we went back to the chalet. played a bit of cards. i must really be down on luck tat day. for the 2 rounds of black jack when i was the banker, i had to pay everyone money. sigh... later on, bbq. first time i ate pork chop at bbq. couldn't eat much cos of my throat. aft bbq, just sat ard and talked. well, when i say "talked", it means people talk, i listen haha.. cos i couldn't talk that day. whenever i talked, i would cough. so i just listened. went to the beach, talked. went back to chalet. watched soccer. after soccer, talked. then come 6am, we took a taxi out of safra and home sweet home.
~it's one more month, exactly, to sch reopen. i wont' say i am excited, i won't say i am sad. i feel neutral. i feel less uncertain now, knowing where i am headed. but there is still an element of uncertainty lingering about... uni life will be so diff from wat i have experienced so far. will also be staying in hall for the first semester. wonder how it will be like. hope i will be able to adapt to uni life...
~finally got down to organising the snippets of lyrics and tunes that were born in the past few years...one book for lyrics, one book for tunes...wonder when i will be able to fill the whole book... hope to be able to see the pieces mature as time passes... thoughts emotions regrets frustrations... bottling them all up makes one feel fed up... feel like starting on a new composition... and this time, i want to make it a complete composition... a complete mature composition...
