gdisclaimer: this is a very long post.

.

im back! i havent been slack and no, neither did i crack. did have alot of snacks. though. -.- ok. i cant think of anything else. =S LOL. woots. so yeah.. hahas. im back, tomseahjinwei, in the flesh. well.. not really. -.- more in the blog, or.. the words, which are actually formed by pixels. -.- LOL. okokok. i'll stop. -.- so yeah.

hekhek.. im back from a crazy week of polyforum. and im telling you, what i said about polyforum before? i take it ALL back. whahahs. i dont even know why i dreaded going in the first place. PF RAWKED MY MULTI-COLOURED SOCKS. but i'll probably cover that later. =P loads more to talk about. heh.

.

lets start.. with caleb's birthday celebration. on this point, i must say.. i.am.one.extremly.brilliant individual/surprise-ser/friend. HAHA! ok. wateva. -.-

planned this surprise party kindda thing for k-by, things went as they were supposed to i guess. hope he liked it. lol.it started a few days back, wanted to get him this watch he liked at first, but after muchmuchmuch searching, we kindda realised that it wasnt available in singapore. -.- got him a crumpler in the end, this black one with just the crumpler symbol at the side. apparently that's the one he wanted, so.. yeah, like that weird tagger from jiayi's blog.. happyhim, happyus, happyme. =D

.

came up with this *brilliant* plan (credits to ben): jia, abby and i brought caleb to town to *celebrate* his birthday, window-shopped around a lil bit (while the rest got the surprise and all ready), then headed down to nydc. There, we 'surprised' him with one slice of some random chocolate cake (we were trying to make him as down as possible.. or smth like that -.-), but as we started singing, the whole gang of more than 20 peeps joined in with the song and the rest of the cake. cool right? =D LOL. -.- guess everything turned out fine in the end. managed to carry out most of what we planned. hahas. even got some cake on caleb. shoke. =) oh oh. a more detailed version's (with pictures) available on the man's blog itself clouded-heart.blogspot.com. check out the September 22 entry.

.

next up's polyforum week! hek hek. and as i mentioned before. i was great! =D and like eve said, "i've got more people to love!" lol.

.

eve goh hui bee's my new *sister* btw. lol. da-jie to be exact - why? coz for some strange apparent reason, my pf (meaning polyforum) group thinks i resemble a boy-boy (whatever that means). -.- lame right. hek hek. but they rawked anw la. =D lol.

.

polyforum was basically just a 4day3night camp where we ate alot, talked alot, slept very little at night (but alot during the day), asked MPsWe'veNeverSeenBefore tons of redundant questions, and had crazy fun free time when we wern't doing any of the above mentioned. =P For convienience's sake, i'll just do this part in the day to day format, complete with illustrations in the form of (an attempt at) very ugly collages aft the chunk of text that some of you won't even bother reading thru. heh. so.. here goes..

.

.

giorno uno.

.

(it's italian)

.

met in TP really early, as in.. secondary school early. lol. took my group's attendance and set off for downtowneast, trip there was pretty unevenful, considering that the bus ride was like.. 10mins. -.- met my group in some ballroom, where we presented our ideas to a.. Mr. Dougles Foo (or.. mr.sakae, as they call him, coz hes the one that owns sakaesushi or smthlikethat) and Mr. Koh from HP. guess they sorta liked our idea. =) was really drained during the whole process tho, slept really late the night before and woke really early.

.

we all went back to our rooms and got dressed up in our blazers after that, then headed down to d'marquee (if that's how u spell it) for the opening ceremony. i remember us roasting in those things. lol. was a pretty grand event anw. pretty strange tho, with all of us walking around downtowneast in blazers, we wernt a small number mindyou. =P oh oh oh, and i i may say so. TP's blazers kindda.. like.. really really REALLY suck. =P

.

that pretty much sums up the 1st day, the first night, on the other hand.. was a whoolleee different story. lol. it was wayy fun-ner. =D heh. left the group after the opening ceremony (sorry again guys!) to attend ferli's birthday party nearby with caleb and jia. lol. didnt really spend much time there, but it was real fun anw. met this crazy girl (cassandra was it?) who was real intent on proving to a few of us that boys were all stupid and ugly and girls were sexy and smart (right. -.-). she declined to mention her age. heh.

.

and when i got back to downtowneast? i was ubber-ly hyper for some strange reason. -.- lol. must've been the leftover-overflow hype from the party or smth.

.

heh. aft i got back with my group we headed down to macs to chill, since we didnt have much work to do. intended to do some research for the next day's chinatown field trip (we had some *ahem*anonymous*ahem*tips) that we wernt supposed to know about, but.. erm. well.. we ended up.. doing loads more. erm. fruitful things.

.

LOL. just slacked actually. -.- played ridiculous games, told ubber lame jokes and laughed alot. all capped off with an oldschool game of pepsi-cola (which i almost won!). lol. was loads of fun all-in-all. got to know the groups alot betta. =)

.

.

giorno due.

.

(still italian)

.

woke up real early for breakfast. had one of another of those talks, then headed to chinatown sometime in the afternoon.

.

was a pretty big thing, 300 over students in chinatown, they made it kindda amazing race like.. with us grouped according to our rooms (not our groups) this time round. it was... 3 rooms - each consisting of 4 peeps - to a group i think, making a total of 12.

.

my group rawked.

.

ok fine, i didnt really have to time to get to know them, but they were great anw. lol. even managed to teach them a lil bit of SU camps' tradition of greeting the station masters. lol! and the things we did to keep other groups off our tail? damn funny. =P

.

had to leave them to attend the feature preview of finding royston down at the cathay. was a real pity.. but i guess we all needed the short break. film was pretty good anw, if u guys were wondering. the supporting lead (alvin's gf in the show) was *ahem* damn hot *ahem* =P and the soundtrack was, in my opinion, brilliant.

.

was supposed to head straight back to chinatown to join the rest for some cutural dinner at some CC, but a couple of us decided to stay on in orchard to have some realworld food (meaning fastfood-.-) for a change while the rest headed back. and boy was it good. heh.

.

took a train ride back to pasir ris, where we sat there waiting for the bus back to downtowneast for close to what.. an hour? -.- until this group of really nice bengs and lians came to tell us that we already missed the last bus. -.-* ended up walking back (and almost getting lost). LOL. ohwell.

.

nothing much really happened after that, went back for my sub-theme's bbq, thought about my question i had to ask some minister the next day, contributed a lil to eugenie's performance item, and tried to help alex and glen a lil with their song. ended up singing nonsense. LOL. ended the night by irritating eugenie (since she was bunkin in with us) with our own neverending lullaby. =D

.

.

giorno tre.

.

(no, i dont have a problem with english. im just trying to act cool. -.-)

.

day three was uneventful. Woke up late, missed breakfast. (along with the majority). for which. we all got a major scolding. lol. they like.. split the pf up by polys to lecture us about responsibility. -.- but ofcourse.. TP's "lecture" was a turned into something different. heh.

.

again, the day programmes were just talks and dialogue sessions. pretty stale stuff. got to ask my question tho! oh oh. and everyone was rushing ard, trying to complete their presentations, performaces and what nots.

.

our night was given to pf's d&d. and boy was it good (surprisingly) lol. performances were pretty ok (caleb's was.. gay. -.-), food.. was aiight, company rawked. lol. and the amount of yum sengs were crazy. there was like.. a neverending stream of screams la.

.

table after table. ubber noisy. hahas. but it was all good. =) last group's performance included TP's mass dance! which im gonna dedicate the nxt paragraph to. lol.

.

as you can imagine, it was a blast. heh. everyone had a great time. and i got to dance with this supercute girl. LOL. she was one interesting individual i tell you (from np - Eugenie's friend too aparently) tiqs, she said her name was. lol. managed to talk to her a lil, and guess what? i found out she was jia's roommate. -.- the qiao-ness. lol.

.

and after that? it was mass cam-whoring. and i mean CAM-WHORE. lol. with my group, with caleb and jia, with the other TPians. it was madness i tell u. madness. lol! shoke. =P

.

seeing how we didnt want to waste our wearing fancy clothes and all, my group decided to spend the night out. took a super long walk out to some pub in pasir ris park. the walk itself was pretty crazy. practically "drunk" before we even drank. LOL. the group of us were singing random songs crazyloud. hahas. time spent at fisherman's village was fun too. managed to talk a lil, talk more and play a pretty intersting game of truth or dare before we headed back. all zonked out exhausted. lol.

.

Bunked (they had some party in my room appapently in with caleb and jia in her room. and boy some funnyshit happened there i tell u. heh. met tiqs again btw, and jia's other fierce roomie. found out tiqs knew what scent i was wearing. which is like.. wow.

.

.

ultimo giorno.

.

(damn cool right? it means - the last day. wahhhhhhh.. hekhek)

safe to say it was a pretty emo day for all of us. the 4 days that i thought would take forever to pass seemed to have whizzed by in just a blink of the eye.

.

started off with an early breakfast (because of the scolding the day before -.-), then went straight into our final preparations for the final presentations.

.

had some free time in between where the group of us just sat down and passed these lil heart shapped cards around and penned down thoughts and messages bout each other. emo right. lol. my idea. *puffsupchest* =)

.

final presentation went pretty smoothly thankGod. then we had another round of the tpmassdance. -.- woots right. whahas! but it was all good. =) and like i said b4. pf ended off with me having new people to love. goodshit. =)

.

photos will come ltr. cannot believe u just read through all that. crazyshit.

*drools*

i was one of the three in charge of the primary5s this time round. and im telling you, it was hell keeping them together. hahas. enjoyed myself nonetheless. talked alot, walked alot and watched a whole load of animal shows. lol.

didnt really get to take good pics (so forgive the lack in quality). didnt really get to take much of any pics actually. lol. you can imagine why. -.- animals were really cool, and the kids, as always were really cute. =)

and oh, baboons are incredibly human-like.

check out the way the one on the left sits, just like your typical coffeeshop ahbeng (or uncle-ahbeng). lol. oh oh. and the one nearest to you? it's picking lice or something out from another's back. and there's this really weird baby one in the back. hahas. coolshit. =)

there was also this animal friends show, with trained dogs, cats and mice. really cool. and the dogs were amazing i tell you. lol. kids really liked it.

this bugger here.. was like SUPER close to me when i took this pic. lol. it was in an animal enclosure, caged up and all.. so i guess the animals were pretty tame. real cute fella, furry and fluffy, just like a soft toy. -.-

heres the last picture of the day. a must see at the zoo.

lions, in all their glory. heard them roaring for the first time, and i can tell you, now i know why they're labled as the kings. =)
