Wad made me lose my cool

Ok, now that I'm calmer, I shall blog on what exactly happened during the weekend. No pepper or vineger or salt added. Juz plain facts.

Last week, our group were the presenters of an econs summary. Supposedly, we should have done the powerpoint before the weekend together as a group. Tiffany (now we know her name) was supposed to bring her laptop which weighs about 1.8kg to school so we could discuss together...
I was aware she stays in Bishan, so I offered to bring as well, in case it's too trouble some for her, but she said no need, she can handle. I even reminded her before Friday to bring

Then when we met up at Dover, Friday morning, She said, "Hey, I din bring my laptop la, why dun we juz discuss and write down on a paper den, I go home and do?"

We were shocked. I, in the first place, never liked changes of plans when everyone agreed to something already... But, nvm, since she has the sincerity to volunteer to do it at home. During our discussion, she looked like she was dying to leave. She told us she had a BBQ to attend in about 1 hour. So we chop-chop finish split our duties and went home.

During the weekend, wanyi and I quickly finished our parts of the summary and I compiled ours together. Then I contacted Tiffany. She said, "I'm not feeling well, I think I'm having fever la..." She can even tell me she was at a coffee outlet surfing the net!

"But I'll still do the powerpoint", she assured.
I said, "U finished already, pass to me so we can compile..."
Then later, we somehow came to an agreement; do it, save it, compile on Monday.

Sunday,
Me: remember to bring ur powerpoint and laptop huh~
Tiff: Am veri sick- Having fever... Ya, I'll bring the laptop and pwpt tmr

Monday, Wanyi and I reach Dover. Tiffany was no where in sight. So we went for our lessons without her, assuming and hoping that she'll juz be late because of fever... Hell, were we wrong. During the lesson, she sent this msg: "Sorri guys, have high fever. Can't make it to school today(FULLSTOP)" Immediately, my mind went into PANIC MODE. What about our powerpoint?! Can U send it to someone now?? I msged- She never replied.

So we went to speak to our econs tutor... Fortunately for us, he said we could postpone it to next week. We convinced him that what happened was realli unexpected and last minute. Later on that day, she told us she'll be on 2 days mc... still no indications what-so-ever of our missing presentation.

When she came back, we told her the tr let us postpone to the next monday. She just nodded her head. I told her to send me her presentation through MSN or email etc. These were her responses:
"Later can? I not free now..."
Me: anything lor, anywae i'll check it late"
(At night, I found out that she hasn't sent over yet, and msg her for it again)
"I think no need la, I'll juz bring the CD for u tmr."

Next day, NO CD. then she keep quiet, like thinking I wouldn't rmb...

Then last weekend, she put up the sick sign again- dengue fever... I told her, better pass me her presentation SO THAT IT CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON MONDAY NO MATTER WHAT...

She chose to remain uncontactable. It msg her, telling her strictly to reply us... Soon my patience ran out after waiting for her reply and calling her to no avail... my final msg to her was pretty fierce;
Tiffany, I dun noe wad happened 2 u, but Pls, giv us a reply asap! Maybe ur in hospital.. but wad abt our econs summary? Are u done wif ur section? - No need to say la, she nv bothered to reply...

I got SO PISSED OFF by that, I actually miss call many times intentionally... If someone put the hp to silent, den later see that i has so mani missed calls, wud have enuf brains left to call back no matter how high the fever right~! dead wrong again! I ended so fuming MAD, I nearly cried... I become rude to my parents... but after a while, I told my mum what happened..

That night, I asked for a late night ride in my dad's car to cool off... My whole family came along and I din think abt the incident that night.

On Sunday, Wanyi and I finished off her job for her...

I brought the laptop for our presentation on Monday. I was thinking, U better not show up in school today; U have a lot to answer to... we "tapped" out off Dover station and there she was. Non-chalant as ever!!! We tried to ignore her as much as possible... Then after the first lesson, we felt it was too awkward for us, who were angry. So we approached her, pretending not to be fed-up with her... The first thing I heard her say was: " Ey, I tell U all arh, my com crash, so I dun haf my powerpoint..."

"SNAP!" the torelance cord in us went...

She did it, she realli did it... she made me dislike someone like I've disliked anyone before... And the BEST PART was, she wanted to go home becoz she was still "feeling unwell".. We were like go la go la, we also dun wan u to claim any credit for our presentation!

I think I most disgusted by her total lack of responsibility... I mean, if u're sick, or ur com was "sick", THE LEAST U COULD DO WAS TELL US! She left us hanging by a thread of what had happened to her & the pwpt, THEN drop a bomb on us the LAST MINUTE everytime... no one can ever imagine how terrible our situation is, working with such PEOPLE!!! U all could see right, she had sooo mani chances to get help from us early, but she chose to ignore and annoy us.

GOD! I still have TWO PROJECTS WITH HER IN MY GROUP!!! ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zhuo Zhiling's Birthday!

Her real name's Zhuo Jia Hui (in chinese). But I came up wif this name for her coz...

Her mouth's like Zhou Zhi Ruo =X
and Oops, i forgot how the "ling" came about... Has got sumting to do wif her notorious laughter I guess.

And she turns 17 TODAY!

Kah Hwee! dis entry is dedicated to you...

Yeah, thx so much for getting the FEW of us together last nite for (once again) the steamboat at Marina! Altho its the 2nd time I've been dere, the food tasted soooo much betta, and I enjoyed this steamboat THE MOST LEH! Haha, even my family's CNY steamboat reunion oso can't beat dis...=P

Hu went huh? 6 persons only... Li Qun, Sheryl, Jingxiang, Pat and KH... Eh, how come 5 only... Oh ya! Still gt me! *shiver, shiver*--- BUT! It's becoz of dese SIX fellas that made the nite exceptionally FUN & MEMORABLE! Rite~ kah hweeee?
(I'm gonna narrate everything tt happened frm the time i met up wif ya'all)

We supposed to meet at 5:30...but I rch the station only at 5:55. OopS! hehe, When I walked 2wrds them i heard a strange noise.. Orhh, it was Sheryl's stomach growling... but i wasn't the latest ok! JX even later, by abt 5 mins!

Den after getting 'scolded' by sheryl's stomach, he passed his cap to KH. She took ONE LOOK at the Label and went "EEeeE!". Suddenly the cap was tossed into my hands... I oso looked at the label- "VonDutch" it says.. ya, she hates tt brand.

Then we got into the train and sat down liao... After awhile, I accidentally put the cap on her bag, and she threw it away to the seat beside me...HAHAHAHA. lUckily,the person sitting next to me was Sheryl. Even the cap's owner JX, laughed.

Den at around Jurong east, Pat msg us to ask whr can meet up (coz she went to orchard first), so we said to meet outside the MRT station at Marina Bay... coz the last time i went dere, the air-con at the station down-and-out ma.. Pat replied "OK". After a few more stops, another sms - "Ey, should we meet outside the station or at the bus stop at marina" So we discuss again and told her OK, even though i din tink it was a good idea coz we know of pat's BLURNESS. Before that, KH was describing how she NEARLY Puked Blood over telling Pat to meet @ Marina instd of us GOING TO Orchard for her...

So we finally arrived at Marina, after loads of crappin' and lamin' wif li qun! As usual, pat was no-whr to be seen. As we walked out frm the station,I saw the same grp of pple givin out flyers of their Pin Xian steamboat... the offers all veri enticing... so ok, we decided to go there- they even haf free shuttle service just lyk the prvious time. Then we waited at the bus-stop. I walked around to see if pat was dere yet. No signs of her...

Meanwhile, the promoters KEPT BUZZING around us like FLIES from the makeshift toilets dere... One moment ask,

"U all wanna come to ours right?..." den
"How pple in dis grp?"
"Come, come, can board the bus already.."
All the while we KEPT TELLING them we're still waiting for ONE person..
Den they still kept saying

"Nvm wan, you all go first, later ur fren come we'll fetch her dere oso!"
"NVM, u all go in first, it's OK, ur fren can take our bus go dere oso..."
"nvm de, the 5 of u go first, den tell her to take our bus to Pin Xian... u all wait dere la!"

AARGGHHHHH!!!! U stupid PPLE! NVM is NOT for U to say! Dat fren of ours come alone/ she NV come B4/ SHE'S VERI BLUR!!! - ALL THESE DIN WORK!! So, finally, make us angry liao... and pat still no news.. I msg her, she said she rched LOONG TIME ago, den we all Gan Cheong liao.. dunnoe which bus-stop in S'PORE she's AT!! KH called her she dun ans...

I finally told off that female promoter, WE WANT TO WAIT FOR HER! LATER DEN WE GO! (@#$%, ask again we dun go to urs liao!)..

Den Li Qun exclaimed into the phone, "UR HERE arh!"... Den she walked into bus-stop. LOO & BEHOLD, our dearest Blackhole was sitting down dere, wearing black T-shirt (camouflaged) and reading a book!! Ya, so, picture our expressions then...

OKaaay, we took their exhilarating SHUTTLE service to their 'restaurant' and got a table~ den the server, a guy quite friendly with us... set up our table and ask politely, "dun mind I collect the money first.." den someone asked $10 rite? he said yah... Den KH said she "Primary 2 onli leh... so $5 rite?"

The guy said, "realli arh? Orh... I.. P1 onli leh!" Ahahah~ after the failed attempt, KH spoke up again, "Today my B'dae leh! Got anything complimentary??"
Sheryl chipped in,"Soft drinks, Ice cream, Cake, anything la~!"
the Guy, "Orh, u wan cake huh, later i go toilet lor..."

HAHAHA, so we decided, Li Qun and him came from the same CLAN wan- the Freezer Clan.

But soon the guy realli brought us Ju Hua Cha leh... So nice of him! Hmm, den we started FEASTING! We're so co-ordinated... take turnns to collect food, cook them together- all standing up, den sit down and eat together... EVEN passed the things we cooked into each other plates... Of course no nid to sae, shud lydat wan la.. but how often do we come across the scenario where everyone does it w/out ordering other pple to help out?! Heehee, veri Wen Xin leh..

We tried a few new mtds of cooking food, due to some WEIRD tastebuds of Jingxiang... He dumbs practically erything into the soup! Even the beef he oso wanna dump in! the worst idea of his was BOILING A NUGGET... haha, of course he din eatit. Den I Grilled the prawns oso quite popular la, altho a strange tast surfaced after the black, burnt stuff attached themselves onto the prawns' shells...

As we grilled, the butter splattered and we cursed our way til sunset... Juz kiddin, so far onli i cursed (ONCE), cos I got a big splat off oil on my hand.. the Pat kept putting her head veri near the staemboat to check her food, I see alredi the skin oso crawled... So I told her to GET HER FACE out of the WAY... Den sheryl said, let her haf free haircut lor (refering to SHUNMING~!) hahaha, more laughs again, thinking back to our O's practicals. After dat den I realised Pat din wear her contacts, so cudn't see her food well!!

Later into the evening, KH went to refill fried rice, and i told her to get Noodles for me too. She came back with the RAW kind.. haha, nobody touch them... den she passed to Pat, asking her to find a place for it on the table.. Pat took it, and ask if can put together wif sumting anot... Next thing we knew, she tipped the plate and SPILLED everything onto the raw veggie bowl.

AArrRHAHAHA, we din expect her to be so LITERAL...

veri soon, our "devouring" speed slowed down to a crawl, and we agreed we can't fin liao... the brocoli left alot, becoz Pat told me her mama said outside steamboat, they dun wash cleanly wan, veri dirty... so i dun dare to eat.. We were sitting next to a grass patch. Heh Heh Heh.. as usual we're up to no good, and suggested that JX throw some inside... we all kept a look out for the servers... awhile later, JX was laughing and laughing... den sum1 asked, "U throw liao huh?"
He said Ya, hahaha, ya..

Soon, i oso wanna throw, but i sit across the table from the grass... then I came up wif the Brilllliant idea. I held up a broc, den screamed " GOT WORM!!!" and flinged it away! I wanted to fling straight but the broc hooked onto my finger and flew towrds JX's head, missing him by an EYEBROW HAIR... hahaha! Everyone shocked by that coz they din expect mi to do it...

Haiii, still can't finish, and we even took the free crab , not to mention the free ice cream coming up later. So we dcdde to play zhong ji mi mah... hueva kana, muz eat sumting of some sizable portion la.. Dat'll commence after the ice cream..

Sheryl shared wif us Liwen's childhood experiencewif ice cream... Liwen had told her the 1s time she had dis kind of stick ice cream, she thot the smoke coming out around the ice cream was becoz the ice cream was HOT.. she kept blowing off the "smoke" despite her grandma telling her to eat it, UNTIL the ice cream MELTED.. 0.O hahahaaah.

Throughout the ice-cream eating part, Liqun kept doing dumb actions and saeing cold things... making my hands weak form laughing. My fingers nearly gave way & my corn ice cream was swaying about dangerously.. Each time I laughed/ giggled, my strength lyk all transfered to my face. Finally I turn away from Li qun to solve the prob.. Den sheryl, seated beside her said sumting, and i turned bac, saw Li qun's expression and the ice cream on my hand went "Wooah~" again... the more she tries to "help" by showing me how to hold the icecream in my mouth so fingers can regain their strength, the more i laughed... Next, pat and JX made me laugh... I had no whr else to turn, so i face the ground to fin my ice-cream- kh agreed to that idea too!

when we played Zhong Ji Mi Ma, KH was like the jinx of the game... not by laying traps for pple, but by sabo-ing pple in choosing THE No. If dere's 27 and 28, and she asks the person to choose 27, the person will REALLI hit the jackport.. So in the end, after 3 victims (including myself V-_-), I told them, if KH manages to sabo ALL of us here, den she'll haf to fin EVERYTHING left! So she din dare to give "suggestions" anymore...

SOOO FUN u NOE!!! After we ate all we cud, we went up to the bowl and sat it out until we wanted to leave for home... THATS NOT THE END OF THE NITE!

KH got sooo excited during the car ride, she nearly gave JX and asthma attack... As shuttle service's driver realli SPEEDS, KH, sat at the back and pulled me dere wif her... I was veri reluctant, but anyway, as soon as my bum touched to seat, driver step on the gas! Along the entire journey, KH was screaming and laughing at the same time... soo NOISY! den jing xiang started his motor- engine laughter as well... while me and KH tumbled around on the backseat of the van... HIGGH man~!

When we rched, KH was lyk SO FAST?! but the Others were lyk Thk Gdness WE ARE OUT!... WeYaKKEd, Joked aaand played some camp-like games into-ed by Li Qun ON THE MRT RIDE and made a hell lot of noise.. mostly generated by Urs SiNCERELY, Kah hwee la!

Best nite out in ages SiAh~ thx evryone, esp KH !
