Holidays and The After-effects

One week has passed after the holidays...and its also the first week in which it seems the hardest to get up..considering that I have been in a Late Sleep-Late Wake cycle during the holidays..BUT that is entirely my fault and I take full Authority for it.

So...What did I do during my holidays?

Eat, Sleep, Play, And Family Time!
We also had a barbeque down by the beach with both cells..This is when I actually got to know the kids in my 2 cells *Yes we go to 2 cells, one on wed, one on friday*. The kids played by the beach and the adults....I actually have no idea what they did. We had a Awesome time, 3 of the kids, all 1 year younger then me, trying to push and pull me into the ocean, I won...Then we played cards, Bluff/Cheat *whatever you guys call it* in which I won...Then we played at the beach summore...then we went home..

So...What has happened during the week?
Monday, No school! Lucky me...this was when the barbeque happened.



Tuesday, Was a killer getting up, although I get up at 8 for school, I was getting up at 12 for the past 2 weeks.



Wednesday, We got to leave school EXTRA early because of some meeting the school had during the night, all the preps and stuff



Thurday, nothing interesting happened, except for dinner, with one of the cell group member's house *Divinia's cousins, Auntie Laura's sister* with Uncle Mark and Auntie Violet *Joel was working so...We didn't see him* and uncle Joe. Had an awesome time, played more cards, this time with PENALTY! *I didn't lose of course* Oh...And I got my leavers Jumper.

Friday, Today. First time I wore my leavers jumper to school..it is nice and comfy.
OK nevermind that...But the best part about it is, what I put on it

Isn't it Awesome?
Yes people, a leavers jumper is a Hoodie that is only available to students doing their last year of high school *secondary+jc* and has a customised name for you, the name can be what you chose so I chose this remembering my dear loving family in Singapore...And of course because it means my name with a -ing behind
*A. = Asher, Ngoi=Ngoi -ing=Extra*
And Asher's Driving so far: In my translation from my dads words
Good driving skills except Reversing and parking.

Wish me luck as I'm Gonna have to drive with uncle Joe when he comes back...

of belated birthdays and posts

Was trawling through some albums to see if i missed any important photos before i uploaded new ones, and i found this:
("bak kwa is not pork!")

Well, quite a while back, the cousins (all who were available) surprised ernie-wernie with a cake. san san volunteered (so nice) to help me call ernie and preempt us as to whether she was home, and operation surprise began. unfortunately i called aunty jane and panicked when she nearly got ernie to the phone... but it still was a surprise for miss chang:


Happy birthday dear ernie!

We watched big momma's house that night. mmmhmmm... just something nice about not worrying about the next day and enjoying some downtime with your cousins :)

Post-ORD Depression


The title says it all. There's a sense of miss when I can't walk into the station as one of them anymore. I felt so guilty, I actually went to apply for the SCDF Auxiliary Unit, but don't tell anyone yet. It's what I'll try and do if I have the time to commit.

Anyway, got a $20 NETS Flashpay Card (that says National Service in SCDF and has a cool logo) AND a Swatch Watch for Perfect Attendance. How's that for an ORD goodbye? Also, in the list of presents were cut fingers and a swollen left foot. I think sprains heal faster.

So life after NS begins. So they say, the real world. Sometimes it feels like I've never left. A lot of things that need to be done, daily running schedule (once the leg heals), daily EATING schedule, daily work, meeting up with friends, music projects both church and outside. In about two weeks, things'll kick into full swing and start to get hectic. Very sweet.

In the meantime, check out Sean Harrison's MySpace. He's a new guy I was introduced and asked to play guitar for. Very nice tunes, kinda like Jason Mraz, but in his own distinct way. Doesn't sound local.

Holidays And More

Wowzers...One term has passed..And quite a bit has happened. As you all know,(courtesy of Cornik tagging everyone ELSE except ME inside a certain post on facebook), I went for my school ball.

In case you are wondering, NO I did NOT have a partner, like the Year Co-ordinator said: Well Asher, If you bring no one, you are responsible for no one...except yourself of course.

So sorry that I do not have any photos, the camera came 1 day late and thus, shortage, reduced to stealing pictures off facebook. =D
*Technology makes photo-snatching Oh-so-easy - Asher's translation of dads long talk on how technology improves convienience*


Well, in other news:

I've been expecting the expected storm, unexpected results of there not being one although clouds are dark grey, and surrounding the whole area *Pretty much as far as I can see, and considering I currently live near the top of the hill, thats quite far* Just had abit of a drizzle here and there

Jie Vene is in Perth! Had dinner with her...twice, but hey, its still better then not meeting her at all. *She tried the duck*

We also went crabbing, but its not net crabbing though, this time, it was Scoop crabbing, where we went into the ocean with flashlights and crab scoops to catch crabs. Caught a few, and then we....
Let them back into the ocean because they were too small *Awwwww*
Oh well, at least we caught some..its the experience that counts.

Wart treatment is due in 12 hours, bracing myself once again for the not-so-pleasant experience.

Oh and I Don't Know if I've said this before: Thanks for letting me listen to downhere Cornik! Im still awed by them

Asher wrote this blogpost at 10:30 pm on the 5th of April, Wart Treatment Happens at 10:30 am on the 6th of April...Spare me please....

update!

Sometime back, we had a cousin's carl's jnr outing @ ECP - plus aunty hazel. i guess there's just something about having a little junk food once in a while. sure its a bit guilt inducing, but oh so tasty. plus, it was cheap junk food, courtesy of vouchers! Here are the photos:

($1.50 for carl's jnr?!)


(should have this more often)


And not too long ago... we sent alden back in. Pasir Ris is a littlleee different now. They added a slip road, but it hasn't solved the car problem! Just look at this:
And this is our dear army boy:
