It's been a really, really long time since I updated. And too many things have happened while I was away. So many, I believe I've already forgotten half of everything that's happened.
I remember sitting for the June Common Tests (JCTs) of course, an exam I performed horribly for. I scored U, S, E and S for Math, Chemistry, Biology & Economics respectively, and that means that I met the passing criteria at its bare minimum. I fared alright for the language subjects, though, with C's for both General Paper and Chinese. I regret not being particular about studying during the June break, but you've got to admit — studying and holidays will never be one.
Drowned myself in a flurry of fun right after the JCTs ended, and I believe I wrote about some of my post-exam outings earlier. Anyway, there were more. On the Saturday right after the exams, I went for a late lunch with Rashid, Janet & Li Ting at Swensen's Changi Airport. It was a great time of catching up, though I had to leave early for training.
On Sunday, I spent the morning with my PW group at Bedok Point discussing about our proposal reforms. Ended at a surprisingly early time of 12pm, so I could afford to head over to Rashid's place to join my secondary school friends. We did baking, and made three kinds of desserts - Oreo cheesecake, banana muffins (which eventually became a cake because we wanted to save some time and effort) and chocolate chip cookies. The process wasn't exactly arduous, though it was funny how we resorted to using a mortar and pestle to crush the Oreo cookies. The waiting times were, however, painfully long. We spent our time during those periods playing Monopoly Deal and fooling with one another's Facebook accounts.
Because one of Rashid's ovens couldn't work, we had to relocate operations to Jasper's place halfway through. Although I felt terribly guilty for crashing his house, I guess the fruits of labour made up for all the inconvenience. The banana muffin-cake, and the cookies especially, tasted delicious! And all of us were really surprised by that. Although the cheesecake was a little too... should I say salty? for my liking, everything turned out pretty successful.
Satisfied from a day's full of work, we went on to camwhore like no tomorrow as we headed home from Jasper's place, haha. But it didn't change the fact that we had such a fulfilling night. :)
Because I was so bushed by what happened on Sunday, I woke up late for my outing with Amira, Michelle, Kai Yuan, Sheryl & Teck Wee on Monday. That resulted in a mad rush to Serangoon to meet them for a karaoke session at NEX. I managed to devour a plate of char kway teow and rush to the karaoke lounge at record speed, though. Had a very fun time with them, but some of them, especially Sheryl, were just way too shy to sing. :( Got to make her open up a little more the next time we sing karaoke again.
We headed to the rooftop after our session ended for a camwhoring session. I swear, I've become such a camwhore ever since I started going out, haha. Browsed the new library for a bit after we got tired of taking pictures, then headed downstairs to have some dessert. Met Sean & Sue Ann halfway through, and followed them to design a birthday cake for Nadhir & Caleb. While they were doing the frosting, I decided to get some bubble tea with Michelle & Amira. Being the cheapskate I was, I ordered the small size, but when I received my order I was taken aback by how tiny the serving was. To make matters worse, Michelle was laughing away like there was no tomorrow! Apparently she knew about it but didn't want to tell me, haha. It totally wasn't value for money at all. All the Taiwanese bubble tea chains in Singapore are just out to scam their customers. :@
Guess those were the highlights of what happened over the post-JCT break. I have to say that I really had a lot of fun in June, but of course, it's courtesy of all the awesome friends I have. :)
I should stop here lest I end up bursting a word limit. But I'll try to divide this long entry into several parts.
Karma for not blogging consistently. Sorry readers (if I even have any of those)!
