「 invaded it on 1:25 PM 」

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So after today, its the end of the holidays. This holidays I only did some work.

Holy crap, 1 week is seriously not enough. Maybe they should make it like 2 weeks.

Friday we had a very eventful day. The guys, 17 of us I think, went to The Cage at Kallang to play football.

Fwah, its a long time since last year that so many people came to play together. It was very fun.

But I ended up with a cut on my arm because of Lun Fei's watch. And a brusied knee by Derek. And a few muscle aches, especially at my butt. When I change positions while sleeping, I have to do it very slowly.

But its getting better :D

Its like a tradition to have this football thing every year. Hopefully the next time we have this we can break the 20 person mark. Which is very achievable, since Roy, Samuel, JJ, and some other people were not able to make it.

Anyway now my bro is cooking fried rice for his home econs. Hopefully when the whole family eats it, we will be like 'FWAH SO DELICIOUS' rather than groaning in the toilet because of a severe diarrhea.

Just now while sleeping ( I just woke up by the way), I heard my mum shouting like crazy. She said something like, "你一直说你懂,可是其实你不懂!"

Woot. I think that was meant for my brother. Maybe he put the rice instead of the onions and garlics first :O

Anyway my blog is alive now, so tag if you are reading it! Have to mug now :(

And I changed my blog song. I think its very nice! The origin of the song is very touching, Rob Thomas' wife is currently fighting a disease. And he wrote this song reflecting the situation.

P.S Yes, don't think so lowly of yourself. Instead, everything you do is interlinked to my emotions.

「 invaded it on 9:10 PM 」

*Ahem*

*Brushes off dust and spider webs.

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Finally, I am back. Like millions of years after I last posted.

Anyway let's start with something new.

I am the Vice-Captain of our school's basketball team. Hooray.

Let me go on to something interesting.

Once upon a time, in a far away land.

There lived a guy named Terence Ong........

Okay forget that part. Sometime ago I went back to visit my grandparents. Lately I haven't found the time to visit them, because my current schedule doesn't permit it.

But anyway that day I made some time to visit them. Then while alighting from the bus, I thought of something.

That there is a very delicious chicken rice stall nearby. I think.

I remembered seeing somewhere that its Block 704, Bedok Reservoir Road. My grandparents are living at 713.

I thought that it was a very good chance to explore around, and hopefully I can find it since its so near.

And thus my 'Chicken Rice Expedition' began.

So initially I thought it was at somewhere near the Sheng Shiong area. I went there, and discovered that that area was actually Block 742 or something.

Fwah kena owned.

Never mind, I turned back , and crossed the road. Upon crossing the road, it was like 712, which is just beside my grandparents'.

So I thought its deeper inside the car park, since after the car park, there is a block of flats.

Then I walked and walked and walked.

Fwah kena owned again. Right in front of me is like block 716, and further down the number is slowly increasing.

Hokay (quoting Chandra), wrong direction. Then I turned back again, and stumbled upon a 'Mama' shop.

So I asked the Indian auntie who was manning the stall, who doesn't look like she remembered me, despite me buying so many ice pops during primary school.

Maybe I have became a suave young man, unlike her. Old and haggard.

Okay la I shall stop the personal insult. I am just pissed that she didn't remember me like after only a short time. Like 5 years.

So she said it was behind. I thought that this is it.

So I really walked behind, and stumbled upon the back gate of my primary school. Damai Primary School. I was a prefect then (cannot believe it right!).

Then I looked around. There isn't a lot of path to take. One is leading to a park, and behind the park was another estate. That was the place where my mum used to buy groceries from.

So I walked away from the park entrance, and towards the left. Slowly, I find myself at the car park.

WTF?!?!?! Kena owned X3 (times 3, not the face)

I really wanted to bash the Mama shop auntie, because its okay if she didn't remember me, but she also lied to me.

Looks like me, the Great Chicken Rice Explorer, has to go away empty handed.

So I walked back to the back gate of Damai Primary. Beside it, was a very long route, without any cover. By then I was already a ball of sweat.

But I cannot give up. And even though the possibility of finding the delicious chicken rice is small, I decided to try. And I walked down the long stretch of pathway.

I reached the front gate of my school. While walking on the pathway I saw that my school hasn't changed one bit. The walls are still as ugly, a combination of orange, olive, and white.

Disgusting. Luckily I left the school while it was, literally blue (the walls were blue).

So I reached the school gate and looked around.

FWAH FOUND IT. I HAVE FOUND THE DELICIOUS CHICKEN RICE. *spastic laughter*

Okay, I had won it.

Then I walked up the small flight of stairs, and walked near the coffeeshop.

I saw my ex neighbour's mother, but she didn't really see me. Didn't care about saying hello or anything.

Because I gotta get that, gotta get that, gotta get that chicken rice, that that. Boom boom boom... (courtesy of boom boom pow from Black Eyed Peas)

Then, I saw that there was a long string of people. The entire coffee shop was very crowded. Then I saw traced the long queue, and in the end it ended up with the chicken rice signboard.

I think it was something like Sheng Ji chicken rice or something. You might think that how come I didn't queue.

The queue was like, out of the coffee shop. The string of people were like forming a very large maze, and then the end was like covering the entrance of the clinic beside it.

I will be crazy to queue. If I queued, and they told me that they sold everything out, I might be forced to commit arson. Like burn down the whole coffee shop.

In the end there was no choice but to leave. I was wondering if there are so many people eating that chicken rice, what about the stalls beside it. The crowd totally made it impossible to buy like lets say, fishball noodles.

So I left, and walked back to the Sheng Shiong, because there's a not bad chicken rice there.

Okay so one big round, I am back to Sheng Shiong. I think I wasted an hour trying to figure out block 704.

What made me even more pissed, is that from the bus stop that I first alighted, I could have walked opposite the Sheng Shiong direction, and cross like a small junction, to reach THE VERY NICE CHICKEN RICE (though I haven't tried it)

In the end I took a whole big round, like around 1 km, taking an hour. Which I can just reach it in like 50m, using 5 minutes at most.

This is very pissfying. I think the next time I go there I am going to buy like 50 packets and store at home, slowly eat.

And after buying I went to visit my grandparents. I knocked on the door, and I think my grandpa said, "Eh,没有去做工阿?"

Omg either I heard wrongly, or he really thinks that I am my dad.

But maybe he thought that I went to work, because he's like asking if I am studying or working. Ho mah gawds.

Anyway I think I am going to visit them this holidays. Because my grandfather has a bit of dementia, and I think if I don't go often, he might soon forget me :(

The last time I went was like dunno when. Maybe a few months. I have been too preoccupied with my own stuff.

Now I have to make the time and effort to visit them already!

And what bad luck, while bathing just now, I put my spectacle hooks in the sink. Unfortunately, one got washed down.

So I am currently dismantling the pipe to get it out. Okay just joking. I am gonna tell my dad to do that.

If not I have to waste three bucks, which could have gotten me THE VERY NICE CHICKEN RICE already.

Sighs.
