this is spartaaa
well then the choice is simple
spartans never surrender
spartans never retreat
spartans only die
we will fight in the shade
landed at 9 pm yesterday. the first message i got was from mr bongard, and it was congratulatory. at least it wasnt work.
so. that was one fascinating trip. its a rare occurrence that i get to spend so much time with friends and teachers.
wandering the foreign streets. listening to the sounds. watching the world pass by in such slow motion. going mad. splurging on things id never need but want. looking for a life id love. dreaming of the future. learning of the past.
creating hopes. losing dreams.
dreading the return to reality. awaiting the re-establishment of consistency.
no matter what, we must try. ushering the dawn of a future that may be brighter than any we can imagine.
this looks like its going to be a long post.
DAY 1 (FRIDAY)
arrived in perth at around 1240 am. reached the hotel at 1.30. had a supper of leftover fries, stoned around and then went to sleep at 4am. woke up at 9 am i think. maybe earlier. had cereal for breakfast, with frozen milk. went shopping and i bought superman: red son. it looks like an interesting read. if u can call comics reading. walked around the shopping district but unfortunately didnt buy anything. had really nice pizza for lunch, all the while discussing care for the elderly. i must say, i didnt know arguing over moral and ethical issues were that interesting. let alone scientific possibilities. went for the opening ceremony of the Future Problem Solving Competition. went for the dinner, which wasnt that filling nor nice. still, it sufficed. made friends with some people from the hong kong international school. the guy was very quiet, and one of the girls was obsessed with death. we went from talking about the sun to talking about getting skin cancer. and she reached the conclusion that she would die from something else before getting skin cancer. and then she told us about a sign at the railroad that read "your family wont have to scatter your remains for you. the train will". fascinating.
DAY 2 (SATURDAY)
woke up at like 7am. ate a cereal breakfast again. went for the fps competition. collected lunch from a nearby shop that mrazmi and mrtan ordered the day before. zhang and i sat in the sun with the hong kong team eating and talking until their teacher ordered us into the shade on the grounds that skin cancer would unleash itself on us in this midday heat. we then proceeded to prepare for our action plan presentation, but were distracted by the cmps presentation and interview. so we left our room and joined louis and shaun in presenting our cmps project, which sadly failed to clinch any prizes. getting beaten by hwa chong. absolut rawr. so because we spent so much time on cmps, our action plan presentation was half-baked and didnt get into the finals. another disappointment. after that we went for dinner with the other singaporean teams minus hwa chong. fish and chips ftw. watching mrazmi making conversation with female teachers was interesting too. and then just because i was talking to girls on the way back i get accused by the nanyang primary teacher of being a flirt. or traitor. i cant quite remember. oh well. we went back and ate instant noodles and chinese takeaway. notbadatall. of course. the night was spent emoing and talking until the early morning. until louis started snoring and zhang fell asleep lying across the bed.
DAY 3 (SUNDAY)
woke up at 9am. went for breakfast with the other acs team at a cafe nearby. although the eggs tasted sour to me, the bacon was awesome. after then we hopped on the chartered bus to wesley college. ah that reminds me. throughout all the bus rides zhang and i were singing songs. especially ones with falsetto. drawing attention from weird people is rather fun, actually. so. the awards ceremony was very disappointing, with none of our teams winning in the cmps nor action plan categories. so when we heard that we won fps, the other people went mad. not me of course. unlike klem who starting waving his hands about on stage and kwong who started hugging klem and zhang. because we were so happy that we won fps, 1st out of 3 teams, we didnt pay attention for the rest of the ceremony. after that was a winner's briefing and then a city tour. our stop at fremantle was taken up entirely by a large fish and chips lunch. and then we were dropped off at the apartment/slum to put our bags. which we were too lazy to do, so we just watched klem making conversation with the bus driver and speculating on their speech. after which we were dropped at the city, so we bought souveniors and walked to the park to take photos. until it was too dark for any of us to take any photos. especially me with my 2 megapixel camera. might as well be a phone. back to the hotel for more chinese takeaway and maggi mee. their hokkien mee is so not hokkien mee. and their char kway teow is nice. except that its more ee fu noodles that char kway teow. slept late again
DAY 4 (MONDAY)
woke up rather late at 9. went for breakfast at the same cafe, with heavenly scrambled eggs. went to shop for more comics, chocolates, shirt (notice the lack of plurality), food and lunch. lunch was at a japanese restaurant, and the chicken katsu i shared with kwong was so not japanese at all. at least the ambience provoked zhang to take out his jap txtbook and mug. went off to the airport, bought a random cd from there. wandered around. boarded the plane. watched 300 and the remainder of house i missed on the flight there. unfortunately, sitting next to a potential air rager or ragee wasnt any fun. luckily he didnt air rage cos he found solace in the tv screen. never knew 300 was such an interesting show. if i didnt have a screen i think i would go mad. it was me and mrtan sitting in between 2 rows of primary school kids. behind them were the scholars, a wall, rgs (Q_Q) then the rest of the acs boys. noooooo. so at long last we got home, cleared customs, got our luggage. then i ate burger king, went home, bathed and konked off the moment i lied down.
DAY 4 + 1 (TUESDAY)
went to school. had an anti-gambling talk. got ordered to cut my hair. spent the school day doing NOTHING. tried to watch house but our class was too noisy. went for archery lesson, which was fun, but muddy. went to cut my hair. got home at 8, ate dinner, bathed and blogged. and now i shall go sleep. till next time.
and everytime i think of you
i dont want to miss this chance
but yet
i dont know what to do.
