o-week
okay so here's the post i promised! haha okay it's actually a post that i promised myself because anything so retarded and shitty as this should have a record somewhere.
let's start with sunday:
went to sijing's mother's wake ): i didn't dare to go to the coffin! because i actually knew her more than any of the other deceased people i've known before they were deceased. ): she used to drive over to give us mooncakes and bazhangs every year! like even if we hadn't spoken to them for the past year, she'd still come. so nice. hope she'll be in a good place now!
then went for dinner at some shanghai place near sgh which my mother says is very very very very nice. its okay la not bad. then after we went home my mother was annoyed that she had to send me to school so she said go immediately. so i went lor. reached at 815. did nothing for 45 mins. well i did talk with juliana, if i rmb her name correctly. so funny she kept complaining, about how the room was very stuffy and she couldn't get her mods and her shock that lit majors only have 1 level 2 mod to take was amusing. okay so 9 was the ~new~ stipulated time for meeting,
and noreen arrived, then we waited.
and waited.
and decided to go off because it was 930 and there was nobody there and neither danielle nor kenneth answered her calls. and everyone who was there werent aware of any meeting.
okay then afterwards daryl called her, to ask about meeting. some ??s. then finally at 1050, when we already arrived at noreen's house nearly an hour ago, danielle called to ask why we weren't there. did she expect us to wait for her for 2hours??? that's unreasonable.
then later she msged about FIC (screw fic)! and i was like SHIT i forgot to bring stuff. thats a tshirt, jeans and shoes and borrowed from noreen. felt damn stupid -_- why did i forget. danielle said to report at 745. a message from shinyi said to report at 815. i was like...... walao damn early. ): so we were wondering if we could get there at 8, not as bad as 745 and before 815. only huiyu will be there anyway.
the next day:
noreen set an alarm for 7 but it failed to go off but at least i woke up at 715! then it was 8 by the time both of us were done, but luckily noreen's mother was free and sent us to school! yay. so i reached at... 815. while still in the house huiyu told me that she was late (but 745 one) then later she said i could take my time because there was nothing to do there.
we did nothing.
so while we were wasting our time away she told me she joined marketing to be station ic! and be involved during the camp. that was when i told her when we joined we didnt expect so much of these things. so i realised that i was lousy to think that it would be just asking for sponsorships. anyway after doing nothing for eons of time (kidding it was only 915, but watching all the people not needing any herding and me sitting there in 100% borrowed attire, the stupid feeling just keeps growing). so we decided to go back to central forum for the briefing. we went to the wrong bus stop and boarded B which dropped us outside. so we walked back... and ended up back at ucc waiting for B again. lol damn stupid. then we finally reached central forum and told them of our fail.
by that time i was feeling too tired and fml to complain about anything, so i quietly ate the beehoon breakfast, which was not bad.
then apparently wangling made a mistake and put me down for 2 stations, then gave me a choice in front of everyone to go wild wild wet or do module bidding, obviously i chose the latter because if not the guy would be alone. the other station already had 2 other people anyway. which i was kinda disappointing cos wild wild wet sounds fun!
then we dragged all the goodie bags down to the registering booth. then we sat around behind the registering booth and waited for people to come. it was pretty fun helping out la. ticking names and arranging the goodie bags and talking to the booth people. haribo is nice! then registering was over but we were still hanging around because some people hadn't registered and my partner was doing i dont know what. then noreen went off to do her station nearby and danielle went off.. somewhere and i was the only person there who wasn't from publicity and there was nothing for me to do.
cue waiting for partner to be done with whatever he was supposed to do. unfortunately he said that he wanted to stay as long as possible at central forum (in the hot sun) to see if there was anything else he could help with. nice of him, but i was really looking forward to aircon... so i was still standing there myself when the guys came and cleared the booth tables and everything and eventually... i had to carry 20 goodie bags to a room along the AS1 walkway. damn. effing. heavy. for some reason the raffia was cutting into my hands, damn pain.
when we arrived back at central forum yay finally it was time to go to the com centre! so we walked there with our lunches. then arrived at the think lab and i was like, they want 2 OGs to come at a time to this place??? because 1. the atmosphere there is not unlike the library and 2. there were already a lot of people there!!!! this means that when the OGs come they will 1. have nowhere to sit anyway so not everyone can bid and 2. their extreme noisiness will annoy everybody there. another thing about unrealistic ideas is my precamp station at the loading/unloading bay, where trucks go in and out and during oweek, horn at students trying to play skipping rope on the road. at least afterwards they moved to the grass patch.
anyway weiyuan was v nice and said he would wait for the OGs downstairs to brief them so there wouldn't be too much noise and only the people who wanted to bid would go in. fair enough, we can't do anything anyway! so we were supposed to start at 215. the earliest group came at 310 lol, and the latest group arrived after i left. at 645. that was after them cancelling the last slot and weiyuan telling about 2 or 3 OGs to not bother coming our station! but while it was boring at least it wasn't terrible, since there was aircon and computers. helped some confused freshies too! so that's okay. they bid very ambitiously, the freshies this year. so many of them have no points left already. haha!
anyway my mom came to pick me and my lit books up. at 650 or so.
i got home at 840. in a CAR.
why?? because there was a jam all along clementi road, holland road, bt timah road and then an accident that caused a jam on lornie road. basically all the roads we have to pass through to get home. absolutely great. then my mother kept insisting that i was feeling cold because i hadn't had lunch (brought the lunch packet home) and that she wasn't cold at all. and i was tired. so i was cold and tired and hungry and all i could do was tuck my hands behind my back and tried to sleep - unsuccessful until the last 20 mins of the journey. which kinda sucks because i missed staring at the accident that caused the jam for so far. darneded.
so when i got home voila there was no dinner. lucky i brought the now very cold (the car was seriously cold, my mother just didnt have any aircon pointed at her) lunch home. so i just heated it up and tried to eat it. zzz. and had some soup.
then later at night danielle kept pestering me to go to school tmr. well at first it was "meet at queen's at sentosa boardwalk at 11" then it became "i can't get you out of the meeting at 9" then when i said it was really early (i take bloody one and a half hours to get to school) it changed to "you were given the chance to stay over in school already. you have to go to the briefing."
.
you think i'm supposed to be privileged to sleep on a floor in a corridor and have nowhere to bathe is it! everyone else made a conscious choice to do it, fine, if i made the choice to do that i wouldn't mind either. but i dont want to, and i mind, and their briefings are mostly going over old things anyway! another thing: she didn't tell me it was for the games.
most importantly the reason she was forcing me to go was because she mistakenly put nick in the work list tomorrow and nick had dance and could only make it later (me not knowing the time she could make it is very important in what happens today) and she wanted me to replace her.
damn. stupid.
anyway so i said fine, i'll go, because it was only the start of oweek and there was no sense refusing all the way and i still have thursday to deal with.
which brings me toooooooo today!
today i actually woke up at 7, then 740, then i was like screw the meeting then woke up again at 9. then i was like okay... gotta get up now... and i msged noreen that i was going to be late for meeting. then unintentionally i fell asleep again, dammit. woke up at.. 945? from some retarded nightmare about having to beat up a pervert and i was so angry i squashed his balls because he was harassing me.
so there was a msg from danielle and it said the transport was leaving from central and "pls tell me you're on your way." so when i replied her it was "sorry i overslept can i meet you at sentosa boardwalk instead" and then she tells me that my station has been changed to nick's station (wasnt that the case since last night, why did she tell me bloody sentosa in the first place) which was at clementi. so i was like okay, i'll go. then i showered and walked to the bus stop and had to walk by the smelly rubbish truck and arrived sweating and then i see my phone and there's a msg from noreen saying that actually why was i going because nick was taking over me at twelve.
it was already 11.
so why was i at the bloody bus stop and why didn't danielle tell me that nick was taking over at 12 (i explicitly told her ytd when she asked me to go that fine i'll replace nick and leave when she arrives)?? why did she keep insisting for me to go for the damn thing when nick is available at 12, just one hour after the games start?
the most ridiculous thing i heard (from noreen) is that the particular station already has THREE PEOPLE, NOT INCLUDING NICK.
wow typing it again makes me so pissed off in disbelief. unbelievably. unreasonable. and. absolute. lack. of. common sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in other stations they only have 2 people. so why do you have to nag and nag at me to go when there are already more than enough people there?? why must make my life so difficult!!!!
so after walking down in the hot sun to the bus stop i had to walk back in the hot sun. when i could have just stayed in bed and slept some more because i was really tired. (dreams about destroying perverts' genitals are not restful at all) on the way home i had to walk by the damn rubbish truck again.
yesterday i thought that things could only get better because i felt so fml that i was speechless.
today they have just gotten worse.
i am going to go for one more day: thursday. i will leave when i have to, because i have piano lesson to attend, and will not be going on friday, because i have erhu lesson and co later in the evening.
i asked for the days off because i have to practice. for oweek, something that's one off that i was even expecting to participate in anyway, it's already taken a lot and if i don't practice i will be butchered and murdered.
people who have never taken music lessons or stopped taking music lessons or only took music lessons for fun will never understand this. because they think that it is trivial and the teacher doesnt care if they cancel last minute. in other worse they, the student > the teacher. for people like me this is different. the relationship goes something like this:
THE TEACHER >>>>>>>>> you the student, puny little thing
luckily i have quite nice teachers, and i already requested to change my piano lesson that was supposed to be yesterday, because of oweek. every time i ask him for something i get damn nervous that he will blow up at me. and if i don't practice by the new time things will get even worse for me. i've already done that for you. what have you freaking done for me??
made my life bloody difficult, for one.
who are you to think that you can force and reprimand me to make up for a mistake that was your fault?
i thought that university people, being a lot closer to working life, would be more efficient. that assumption was erroneous on my part, evidently from the gross lags in schedule and weird places to have games. another assumption, that i wouldn't be so involved in camp responsibilities, was a miss on my part, since huiyu evidently knew we would be roped in for things like this.
and okay, you've been pretty nice so far. but none of that gives you the right to make me do all this and forcing me to cover up for your inefficiency. are your meetings so important? no they're not. they're near useless, during the meeting i attended there was nothing i had to know that was told to me anyway, and everything that was told i already knew, or was written down in the dps, of which i have eyes to read.
anyway less rant. one more day. and i will try to salvage my day today -_-
