Yesterday was a beautiful Saturday but not due to the weather because it rained on me when I left my house.
Rather, it was because Joonies wore something beautiful for our class meet-up! I was stunned, literally.

HAHAHA!

(Joosty getting hungry already. Where is my food?)

“Joosty was a university student who was looking for a diamond ring for his mother’s birthday on Sunday;
Rooshdee was a working student who had to survey for a diamong ring for his soon-to-be fiancee in two
months time.
They found this jewellery shop and decided to source around..”

The act was so convincing, I think the sales assistant got fooled. Nice one Joosty!

(Sometimes, being narcissistic is good. Like Joosty, the photogenic!)

So that was basically what we did for our next IDEAS assignment. Hmm.. I wonder what is this night
cycling trip that Ms Yip mentioned about to 1A02. It involves the photographers of 1A01 (Joosty and I)
so that is why I am a little concerned here. Ahh..

(Grr..)

So who came for this outing this time?
Evon, Joonies, Joosty, Jackfruit, Ah Siong, Delvin, Keech, Bengee, Wilfred, Yinsan and I of course.
Keech got for himself a no-degree pair of spectacles for a change of style and ended up making himself
looking far geekier — a cute geek Joonies cannot resist, definitely. How Keech, how?

Good thing we noticed that your specs was flawed and bent, if not you will be wearing it to school and
be a walking joke. No kidding! I do not think your eyes will become smaller from its use though. I think..

(A hungry woman is a scornful, emo woman..)

Evon did her own shopping before the guys even met so that saved us some trouble though I would
have preferred tagging along as well. I would love to see your bargaining skills!
But come to think of it, you were right — men will never understand women..
I never knew the distance from Suntec City to Marina Square was so far, it took you girls half hour
to reach us. HAAAH!

(Bengee’s promotional poster for his latest CD album. HAHA!)

Yinsan left even before she met us, which was a bummer but she must have had her own reasons.
Well at least she came right? Maybe next time she can hang around a little longer and crap abit
with the rest of the gang — the more the merrier!

(You do not look like a Chinese in this one, seriously. I think I made you look like a Caucasian!)

The games that were played while we waited for Ah Siong were totally, totally insane but FUN!
To name a few: Game of Concentration, Titititi/Tuki Tuki/Tongka Tongka (WTH!), Ahh What!, etc..
I think I overcooked my brain for these. I am too old for these kind of challenges!
>< "

(Joonies looking as hot and seductive as ever!)

The route to Joosty’s crib was long from Aljunied but it was great going through the different lorongs
of Geylang; and the temples that lined alongside the streets; and that solitary mosque. I love long walks!
Thanks to all of you for showing great understanding, knowing that I am a little particular about food being Halal
for my consumption and all and being accomodating to your fellow Muslim friend here. I love you all loads!!

The ghost stories told between walks were real though I did not mean to spook you all. And yes, I do
believe in the supernaturals. Delvin, you were right in saying that everyone can feel them and not all
are ‘gifted’ enough to see these things. And Joonies, thanks for that ‘light fire’ thingy. I might not have
understood its significance but I was definitely touched by the care shown. And to the others too.
Let us protect each other, not spook each other out, right Joosty?

HAHA!

Thanks Delvin for sharing that dish you bought. You rock!

(Ah Siong with his berms and loafers. Good thing it did not rain on him again. HAHA!)

The camwhoring session after dinner was really funny and all of these photos were already uploaded
on Facebook. I know I have not posted much candid shots of me, so now here is the chance to catch me!
I ended up sleeping at Joosty’s while the others hopped on Papa Jackfruit’s car to be sent home after that.
It has been such a long time since I last showered in warm water and I admit it felt really good..
I prefer cold showers though because it is simply awesome possum and rejuvenating!

Now that Joosty’s kind of familiar with photo-processing using Photoshop, I really cannot wait for him
to get his own DSLR to partner me in the future. We will pair up like Batman and Robin..
You, Robin of course!

Or Pinky and The Brain.
You be Pinky, I am The Brain. Fair enough?

xD

(I should have brought a tripod next time. Than using my bag. One cool shot, this one.)

Thanks Joosty for the hospitality, even though you pulled our shared blanket away from me and left
me frozen for an hour in your air-con before I moved to your second mattress and hid under your
bedsheet. You selfish, greedy punk!

But I carried on sleeping until noon still. Heh.

After one quickie month of lovemaking and bondage between my classmates, I am glad to say that these
young chaps have truly gelled well with each other like both Joosty’s hair and Gatsby’s moving rubber wax do.

I am touched to see how cohesive we are, like how my soldiers used to work so well together in camp —
It brought about an unexplainable taste of delight just by looking at how they cared for each other.
My classmates are more than friends now; we are like one big happy, crazy family.

(Erm Platoon Sergeant Rusydi.. I see something moving behind the tree. Is that our enemy??)

If you ask me, these are colourful people too!

The smart slackers; the stupid cheongsters; the hongsters; the wankers;
The lovely beauties; the sexy beasts; the Smokescreen; the Keech!;
The sportsmen; the hunks; the sportswomen; the bums;
And the photogenic; the matchmakers; the photophobic; the scandalous!

(For your own safety, please stay away from Joosty!)

They are what I go to school for.
Jackfruit cried out foul yesterday during The Great Boredom in Math class, and he said,
“Ahh. Can’t I just drop out and start working already??”

And this guy is such a smart donkey. I mean, from the amount of fruits he consumed after every meal,
I am not surprised at this brainiac — his brain must be smelling fruity always, and the name is Jacky.
You all should have figured out why I call him Jackfruit then.
HAHAHA!

(This reminds me of the statue in Brazil, for whatever reason it can be..)

The unintentional hurt and love..
Sometimes we went too far with our fooleries that we hurt the ones we love, but it was only natural for us
to forgive and forget each other’s mistakes because of the strong phosphodiester bonds between us. Like really!

Delvin especially. Tsk tsk. We hurt because we love.
I think..

>< "

(Jiayang, malu.. Flasher wants to pose, have to suck in his stomach! HAHAHA!)

But best of all, these are my best photo buddies! Especially Joosty! He shares the same passion with me,
he is sporty, he loves girls and we hug each other everyday! Now that is ONE LOVE, is it not? HAHAHA!
Please, hurry up and get your own DSLR!

And our girls are so photogenic, I will never tire from snapping their beautiful photos.
I am not lying! Joonies, there is no sarcasm here so stop hitting me! Wahahaha!

(This is so DOPT/1A01!)

Joosty found out this beautiful D’Kranji Farm Resort where we can spend our vacation week together.
I am just concerned with the size though. If we cannot find some other place, those who intend to sleep,
go and lie on top of each other. Really..

HAHA!

(And this is the REAL DOPT/1A01!!)

Alrighty, I am supposed to meet with these people at 1300hrs for shopping, photoshooting, dinner
and movie probably. And I have not even showered.

Ciao people. You all rock my socks!

xD

Keech introduced to DOPT/1A01 a super-addictive new hobby, The Frisbeeeeeeeee!

Both Joosty and I improved so much on our throwing techniques within one day so Keech
must be one good teacher right? :D

By the way, Keech is a member of SP’s Ultimate Frisbee Club, so it was only wise for
us to pick up tips from this guy.

And Evon, do not be discouraged yet yah? You will surely get the hang of it soon, promise!

After four hours of baking in the noon sun, both Evon and Joonies turned itchy and hot lobsters
respectively while the other guys turned golden hash browns; my mother just told me I became
blacker than black.

OMG.

After which, accompanied Yinsan to Vivocity before I took a straight bus 65 to my place.
Totally hugged my ranger bag that was placed on my lap in that mobile fridge 65 — I was in my
shorts some more!

x(

Slept throughout the fridge ride and slept somemore at home feeling sunburnt all over.
Like a roasted rooster,
I could not help myself but to keep sweating and sweating even after my showers!

And my dreams today came in two parts, one before I spoke to Evon, another after that.
I told her what I dreamt of her when I saw her online, but I had another dream of her after that.
It was weird and I have yet to tell her. Should I?

x)

And I suddenly saw people like Sakina, Nazaratul, Yinsan and my cousin in my dreams just now.

They were freaky, but cool nonetheless. HAH!

Why I prefer calling Kee Ching as Kee, rather than Keech.
Also, he must be filthy rich since he owns such a business.

DO NOT LIE, KEE!

xD

There goes my favourite online audio streaming client, Last.fm. Last Wednesday, the developers decided to
change the way Last.fm Radio works in countries other than the US, UK and Germany; subscribers not from
these three countries will have to fork out €3.00 per month to continously stream music like how it used to work
so well previously. More information about the changes can be found at their blog.

I am so fond of Last.fm basically because of its ability to stream music based on their genres, or global tags.
Its simple design interface allows me to quickly search for desired tags like downtempo and post-rock and
it is easy to scout for similar artistes to the ones I love listening to like Boards of Canada, Flunk, Sia, Tycho
and so much more. I love waking up and just having to click the play button and let them stream my
favourite music non-stop. But now that they have decided to upset me by adopting this questionable
service, I guess I have no other choice but to uninstall the client and learn to live without it.

My 30GB worth of music should suffice but I am already suffering from crappy withdrawal symptoms!

Anyway..

Happy 17th Birthday Evon Liu Bixie! You are so officially six years younger than me now huh? >< "

The guys organised this mini birthday celebration for her just outside our lecture theatre yesterday
and we got two miserable slices of cakes for her to indulge in to (but it is the thought that counts, right?).
It looked yummy and I wanted to have a taste of it but after having witnessed Evon's nose plonked right
into the sweet treat, I figured it was best to just stay away from them.

Eeeew...

Delvin had the other slice though, so..

I brought my girlfriends along for this occassion, all four of them except my first darling because she
needed more rest at my place. So sad, but the other four could easily manage the responsibilities
without much problems.

I had my 1000D, F40FD, Instax 200 and 135BC all work for me yesterday and they all were really
sweeeeeet~!

We all stayed on for quite a while, having fun with each other and taking videos too using my F40FD.
It is cool seeing how useful my compact can get even though I have my massive 1000D with me, complete
with the nifty 50mm lens. I am so not going to abandon this first digital baby of mine! :D

And right after the girls left, the boys did something they had been doing so frequently for the whole
week: GAMES!

We had already spent alot on bowling and pool games at the SP Graduates’ Guild just because we were
gifted with too much spare time in hands. Just for this week, though. I can already foresee our workload
piling up exponentially in the next few days — heck, we already have a couple of projects due by the
end of May.

*sighs*

Everyone is starting their revision already; everyone realised that Optometry is no easy course!

School is dreadful, but our class is definitely one of a kind. You all rock peeps!

By the way, Qi Rui was planning for a class outing this coming Wednesday or Friday. Suggestions guys!

Oh, before I end, here is another shoutout for Evon Liu,

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!”

While I was doing maintenance on my 1000D yesterday, I realised that the UV filter
that was attached to my lens got kind of stuck. I tried to remove it but it did not
budge an inch. I panicked of course! I was thinking of doing something drastic
until I found out today that I was actually trying to unscrew it open the wrong way!

I can be such a dumbo at times.
Thank goodness nothing happened to my lens.

Sakina, eat!
Sakina, run!
