I finally get a tagboard.....!!!
A tribute to delfine for helping me. She's a nice gal ^^
As you can see from my title, my day today sux. Well, not totally. I went for ventures today at 12 noon. Fells great to be back and meet w many familiar faces..... ok ok with not-so-familiar faces, cuz i can't find most of my classmates, other than those who oso went for venturing. Shit the 5-day work week. Make us all suffer(maybe not all), especially me.
Our scouts troop is having a campfire on 19 Friday, and we already started making our preps. Not very sure on how the gateway and backdrop will look like, but my seniors promised us that this year we are building something different, not tower or bridges (so xian, everwhere also can find these. Towers, duh. Bridges, even the long gang oso hav one alike) . Shock and awe shalt befall upon thou whom set thy sights on the mighty structure. Cannot tell too much 'bout it as it will spoil the surprise. One thing for sure, it is going to be 6m high.(Reminder: it is NOT a tower)
So we set on building the basic structure. We made an arc and tripods with woods for an hour. An ARC using woods. Yupz, one long, curvy shit of woods tied together without any structural support except for guidelines. Omigosh!!! Then we make the curvy shit stand up on its ends, with the centre being 6m above ground.
The thing is I AM TAKING THE CENTRE GUIDELINE!!! So while the ppl around hold the base of the arc, I have to bear the greatest weight of the arc MYSELF!!! My gudeline was located at the C.G (centre of gravity) of the arc, which is made up of 9 woods tied together. >_< Luckily, there are 2 more guidelines beside me. So it wasn't so bad after all
Wishful thinking. I am wrong! My side guidelines soon left me and ran to the other side of the arc. So, while the arc and the side guidelines are exerting clocwise moment, I have to provide the clockwise moment MYSELF! x_x in order to mainain rotational equilibrium of the structure. And the best part: Holding it in position for >1.5 hours. (choke myself) No entertainment, no ppl to talk to(they are @ other side of the arc), standing alone at the centre of the deserting field under the unfriendly sun. HEEEGH!!! (unchoke myself)
We made it finally !!! we tied the arc to the tripod and i got to rest my bloody, rope-burned hand. ( surprised i can still type this blog). After admiring for barely 15 min and looking out for areas to improve again, the dreaded command came. " Ppl, gd job, now tear the whole thing down" ~ blipz~
Tearing the baby down is easy, physically but not mentally. It hurts! We build another different structure ( too chim for me to discribe ) and the cycle repeats. " I give you 15 min and i want the field to be clear." ~ blipz ~ ~ blipz ~
PS: Dear readers, if you dun understand a single thing above, dun panic. It's normal. All the terms are only familiar to the scouts and ventures. So just pretend u understand. Thnx
At the end of the day, i got nothing to make up for the hard work but blister-ry hands. By 8 am, I am sucked dry of my life energy. Totally bushed!!! We all went home after that, supporting one another along the way in case someone just drop dead. My journey on the MRT wasn't at all, ummm, pleasing.
I was in the MRT, packed to its last seat. I just hope that someone will give up their seat to me, instead, they give up their shit to me. Wishful thinking again.....
Standing in the middle of the empty space of the MRT, I am surrounded by weirdos. On my 9 o'clock. A chinese couple was doing the cuddly thingy. The man has tatoo on both of his hands and his neck. (Look more like severe burn marks. I am not suprised if he has eye tatoos on his buttocks.) He was squeezing his girlfriend towards the corner, making her eyes bulge and her hands waving frantically, begging for mercy. I stared at them hard, in case the court might need me as a witness for attempted murder.
At my 6 o'clock, an Indian couple doing the tellytubby big hug on each other, with hands groping each other's butt. UGGHHHH!!! Their backside were oscillating momentously from side to side, alternating their direction of motion with each other while clamping their fronts together. The female has greater frequency of oscillation but lss magnitude.
At my 2 o'clock, a malay couple were fumbling with each other's hands. The man is wearing a transparent( yupz! TRANSPARENT, not translucent) sleeveless shirt, or rather a singlet. And he already have a TODDLER. How can such weirdo father fathered such cute child..... tsk tsk.
And so, that's my journey home, witnessing the inter-racial forms of flirting. I am, again, in the centre. *sigh*
At home, I got thrashed by my mum for being home late ( 9 am)
Then, my sis came towards me and brandished her latest CD collection. She just bought
1) Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack : $89.00
2) Ayumi Hamasaki Ballads : 18.90
3) Ayumi Hamasaki My Story : $20.95
Grand Total : $ 129.75
~~ faint ~~
That's the problem with my sis. Can't spend money wisely. Once she saved enough, splurging is inevitable. But oso can't blame her. She has not bought anything for ages. And now that all her desires has just exploded, she felt happy. Hahaz....
Haven't been diligent lately....*worried* Must start mugging tomorrow....
