super tired after one long weekend

1. fri evening went to double o with navy ppl. got coursemates (who just wanna have fun), squadron pple (a clerk’s bday) and my ship crew (boss’ promotion + one officer’s bday).

double o drinks are v cheap, and some navy ppl are just too rich.

they just keep buying drinks and passing them around. i drunk dunno how many diff types of drinks... bottled beer, syringes, shots and jugs of dunno wat...

i dun recall much of the nite, as i was too drunk. apparently, after finding out from friends on sat and mon, after double o, we went out for supper, and some guys fetched me home in a cab. and miraculously, i managed to walk up the flat alone, and go to bed. all of which, i can only recall.

wat a decadent lifestyle.

2. sat evening went for julian’s, my NO’s, wedding as sword bearers. you know the type who line the aisles and holds up the swords to form arches for the bride and groom to pass thru.

actually it’s supposed to be an easy job. but julian’s wedding was q a formal one. (cos he’s from new creation) the ceremony was horrendously long and we had to stand and hold up the swords for almost an hour.

was super tired. but the dinner at marriott was super. (though not as wonderful as he had promised) but overall, thought the whole ceremony was v well planned and sweet. (julian actually sang to his wife... i’ll nv do that for mika, for the audience’s sake)

3. sun morning went for my commencement. many thanks for those who came and it was nice to meet up frens from sch.

thought the valedictorian cheryl made a v good speech. actually, if i knew that cheryl had such a story, i would have gladly let her speak. there was no need for us to write drafts and let the faculty choose.

her story is an inspiring one. her father passed away last year, and yet she persevered on and did well to earn her honors. rather admire frens who can carry on with their lives despite the departure of their loved ones.

4. sun afternoon. mika and i went for can project. pls visit official website
www.nuscsc.net/~can for more details. though we didnt go around collecting cans, sorting cans and dried rations was just as tough. so many diff types of cans and diff types of dried rations... sort until my eyes blur liao. but the most siong part was carrying the huge boxes unto vans, into containers, down slopes.... argh...

but i must compliment the committee as they were v organised. the whole collection was v well planned and executed. it is apparent that the culture of knowledge sharing is growing v strong in csc. certainly csc is the epitome of organisational learning.

5. sun night. world cup 2006 at mark’s place. the weekend ended at with a climax with italy’s victory over france. haha. was super tired... i only watched the first half and slept through the second half. woke up a while to see zidane head butt an italian. slept again and woke up to see the penalties.

later departed from mark’s place to safti mi for course. kept dozing off in class.
