OP, Badminton, Sok's PW, Fifi's birthday party, Signature Park gang reunion

Recently, we had our PW OP (Project work oral presentation) and once again, I fucked up JUST like the first time. It seems like whenever I go infront of a group of people to give a speech, my tongue just ties itself to a knot. Can't blame myself only though. Most of us went up to present without knowing how our slides looked like... Jasmine was late for school so my plan of glancing through the slides during the first few periods wasn't put into action. My part of the presentation was seriously shit but most of my classmates and the teachers didn't have any criticisms regarding my speech. In fact, they said I was somewhat confident in presenting my part of the slides. Imagine what they'll say if I go fully prepared with small notes and all instead of the overview of the slides...

The badminton matches were intense these few days. Everyone is getting so competitive now. Its one of the reasons why I don't like to have rankings and tournaments... Anyways, I'm always making careless mistakes these days... One of the reasons why I wasn't able to raise my ranking up. I don't really care about ranking though since I'm up against my closest friends.

Hmm quite a lot of things to blog about... Next up is Sok Theng's PW. I have to say, her PW topic is similar to what I wanted to do, on musicians. She did her PW on this blind singer. Truely touching and inspiring. I kept on telling myself through out the exhibition that if a blind person can be successful, why can't I? So it got my hopes up haha. Last up for Sok's PW was this maze thing. Everyone had to go through different obstacles in the "maze" while blindfolded. I went through a similar thing before (Going through a maze while blindfolded) when I was young so it was like nothing to me. Of course I needed guidance on where to go and stuff. One word to describe the PW. Fun.

Fifi's birthday party was on Saturday in the same week as Sok's PW exhibition. The theme was childhood memories, which I detest. I was shy, emo and was a loner when I was young. Not in Korea but when I came to Singapore. So, thinking about my younger self, I dressed up in all black (To show the emo part). I went to the party earlier to help out with the decorations. At 5pm the party was scheduled to start. 4:45pm (I think) I got my make up on. Courtesy of Gerlaine haha! She put eyeliners for me to make me look even more emo. If I wore dark blue jeans and white long-sleeved shirt (No collar), I swear I would've looked like L from Death Note. Lots of my friends mentioned that. Anyways, most of the people didn't dress up. Even Fifi. Oh! Tina was there too!!!! Haha I missed her like crazy AND will miss her like crazy. She didn't change at all haha. Games came next which were like super chaotic. Some had to eat marshmallows* with wasabe or green chilli in them. I got to eat the normal ones 3 times haha! Lucky me. The candy collecting was uber chaotic. Following right after that was the birthday song for Fifi. Shao Wei took my shirt off saying "Fifi! You're birthday present!". Wth. Haha -.-. I wouldn't have mind if I was drunk BUT there were no Vodka. In the end, we had nothing else to do so most of us went home. Again, it was very fun.

Now for the main event, Signature Park gang reunion. On Monday, 2 days before our brother Taka went back to US, we decided to hang out in Signature Park, our home. I went there first to get the card from Chie's maid, Siti. She was so happy to see me haha! She called Chie out for me too =D. Again, I couldn't stop smiling =) She was still so angelic haha! Only thought of happy thoughts I have with my Signature Park family and nothing else to depress me that day. We played squash as usual. As usual, Tae Hyung e hyung was super funny, and our "warm up" match turned out super competitive haha! As usual, Chie refused to run and my brother and TH took turns copying how Chie played while Chie and I sat outside catching up on good times. Can't believe she's leaving Singapore... My first. TH, my bro and I decided to swim so we headed down to the bottom pool. We swam for like 10 minutes until the fucked up thunderstorm came. TH and I were competing who will the last one to leave the swimming pool haha. We both decided to get out BUT he took off his feet out of the pool last so he won haha. Then Taka, Chie's older brother, did something right for the first time. He booked pool for us from 8pm to 10pm haha. We were seriously impressed. Pool match was super funny as well. I have the video of TH VS Taka. I played a match once with my bro and once with Chie. My bro improved a lot. He almost beat me! Haha. As for Chie, you can say I went easy on her as always haha. In the end, I scored both the black ball and the cue ball so I lost =( =). It was an awesome day... Last day hanging out with Taka too. As for Chie, we're meeting her tomorrow! HAVE to take pictures... I have none with her =(. While at Signature Park, I though of all the little things I did for her and all the things she did for me. Can't believe she's gonna leave... It feels as if a part of me is getting ripped away from me... I'll make the last day with her as memorable as possible.

SHUT UP.
