of Musical Chairs and Moving

okay so its Friday night and because im just so A-Typical I spend it moving stuff around the house

right, how brilliant is that?

so dad decided to play musical chairs with all the furniture in the house, so Brother and I are the ones moving all the tables and chairs and sofas and whatnot around the house

yeah, even the computers are not spared--> all the untangling of the wires

but all those are not the worse part! the super-worse-bad part of it all was that we had to move MY TABLE into parent's room and move an (almost) identical table from activity room to replace my table, and that was after we had moved the sofa out of parent's room to make space for my table going in

confused yet? good.
so back to my table (which moved into parent's room). I am....not the neatest person around (I will openly admit that) so when dad said I had to move my own table I almost fainted/freaked out at the magnitude of the task (yes it is no small feat)

so I finally found my library book that I was missing, I finally emptied my dustbin, and I finally chucked everything into the shelves (because they have doors- see what I did there?)

yeah its the equivalent of sweeping the dust under the carpet, but me being me....it works

so now furniture (that im used to being at one particular place in the house) are all in weird and different places, its gonna take some time getting used to

but still the fridge is in the kitchen and the com is on the table, so the 2 key things finalised is a good thing.

green tea in the fridge, internet on the com.

life is good (well, sorta)

of Sun and Sunny really really really hot days

okay so today is Thursday and us ppls have soccer in the morning but the sun today decided to be blazing and burn us all up

yeah, we really suffered. badly. lol xD so after the soccer game we all went to the back of the stands just to get in the shade

in Singapore we don't have seasons so why has this like been the hottest early morning like, EVER? I mean we don't even have daylight saving and whatnot you know.... -.-

oh wellz, since the sun zap so much energy I could barely walk to the interchange to take bus, and the genius of a person (me) forgot to take the goalkeeper gloves so I had to walk back to the court and take it by myself

yeah, forever alone. like a boss

anywayz I crashed when I reached home: I love the flexibility of homeschooling (yeah I got to take a nap)

well, nice dinner later due to my aunt's birthday and sending someone else off at the airport after that.

but first: green tea

Lesson-- Blessing in Disguise

disguise, dengue...close enough

okay so even though im not your optimistic optimist but sometimes looking at a situation in a different light can be quite illuminating (yeah geddit?)

yep, so even though dengue is considered a huge-ly bad thing, but looking in another way (on hindsight) it can be considered a blessing in disguise for me.

so yeah I sort of mentioned before that I was kinda torn between True U and Kluang Cola Wars but thanks to dengue I didn't have much of a choice so I ended up missing both but the thing is it was more then what it was

so on sunday evening the kluang people had to do the evening service as a report on the kluang rally
so since I didn't go kluang I had completely no "obligation" to be there and I could go to laser tag instead

okay so I don't know if im being "dis-loyal" to the church or something and whatnot but I can say I really enjoyed how things turned out

if you seek Him, He will give you the desires of your heart (paraphrased cause I cant remember what the original was, and yes I think im ripping it out of context) so yeah, im really thankful how things turned out, even the dengue

yeps, another thing: distance makes the heart grow fonder. just had green tea again today and I can almost swear it is so much more sweeter, also stole bubble tea from my brother and it tastes so good

2 weeks of not consuming them really helps you appreciate it (same thing with friends, although not the consuming part)

I cant wait to see how oreos and milk taste after a long break from them :)

of MC and mundane life

okay so I was kinda joking on the mundane life part, life has been pretty up since I've recovered from dengue,

yeah, I've recovered alr, the last blood test I took had my platelets level at 191 (and a normal person's level should be around 144) so im clear. though the doctor said that for dengue if I get it a second time round it'll be much worse for me so....xP fingers crossed

but since I've recovered the few days of MC was really nice, I got more free time to read and play com games xD haha, I even picked up playing LoL

so I got to be considered "fully recovered" by Friday so I got to resume my normal activities
I just realised like I didn't see anyone outside my family (except Joshua during National Day) for over 2-3 weeks

wow, social deprivation max eh? yeah, when I went on like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and actually saw people I was like:" wow...I almost forgot how he/she looked like" " hey there's like, people around! yay!"

I like seriously did that. so like I learnt here that you can actually miss your friends, so much more since like im homeschooled! xD

haha yeah, so over the weekend wherever I went people was like:" welcome back!" . that was nice.
its good to be missed as well. #touched

:')
so like on Saturday evening (even though I just recovered) I was like playing soccer and I injured my inner thigh and I was on like panic mode cause I really wanted to play laser tag the next day, so I like ice-packed my leg and used the deep-heat rub and rested my leg and did everything I could haha

at least I could walk the next day and eventually could play YAY! but sunday school was nice and eipc, it was almost like a CGC (Career Guidance Counselling) haha, and teaching  in church itme was also nice, letting all the kids hear of my accounts of needles.

LASER TAG! lol, it was like the Jerel's strategy vs John Chua's strategy. it was a good thing for us that all the little kids decided to spy for use and tell us the opposing teams strategy before the round starts.

King round was epic, at least we really won that round :)))))) yay team!
the opponents re-enacted Picket's Charge: charge an open field against "machine gunfire" -> all died xD
we did David-Uriah tactic: send the person to frontline, then all fall back except him--> he dies

oh wellz, life certainly isn't mundane :)

but that was the weekend, now back to schooling cause I've run out of MC. work starts and the world continues to turn as the sun continues to rise and set.

lol

Sick Week

okay so my last post on having headaches was really prophetic: on Tuesday when I got the headaches after I went to sleep it bloomed into a full fever

so on Wednesday I really suffered :(
and I especially hate this kind of fever cause the accompanying "side-effect" is headaches-- mental faculty stasis kind of headaches. so I couldn't think at all, and it was horrible, I could only drift in and out of consciousness

wed was the worst of the fever, Thursday the fever wasn't so bad and on Friday I was up and around, using the com and all xP but at nights the fever would still be there--->I would wake up like 2-3 times per night and desperately grab my bottle of water and drink a lot cause I was just so dehydrated :P

because of this fever I had to miss BOTH the Kluang cola wars AND True U altogether -.-

but it gets even better: so today im still running a fever and my eyes hurt so I got to go to the polyclinic where the doctor said:" yeah, sounds like dengue"

then the doctor gives us a referral letter to go to CGH to do blood test

NEEDLES! argh.

me: *looks at needle*"ouch"
doctor:" don't worry! only a small needle mah...."
me:"ouch"
(I should come up with some snappy comeback line xD)

oh well, I officially have dengue (yeah! I think im the first in my circles)
and looks like I will be missing a lot of the upcoming events. hopefully I can recover by next weekend so that I can still go play laser tag, but :/

for the next few days I will have to go and do blood tests every single day, so more needles for me! YAY! (not)

of Heart-to-Heart-Talks and Headaches

headaches? yeah, I have one now, its mostly due to how there is a chunk load of tire-edness that just piles up and hits me on Monday

yeah, people that have Monday blues, I feel ya

yesterday (Sunday) dinner, was one of the most epic dinners I had recently. not the food, the food was nothing to crow about since I ate my normal mixed veggie rice.

it was more of the heart-to-heart-talk with my bro and my friend. it was like talking to drunk people, a 1.5 litre green tea was emptied between my bro and I (but of course I could finish it myself but I had to share)

I think all 3 of us were hyper or something, all the people from surrounding tables all gave us funny looks but we didn't care xD

its always nice to have these kinds of epic convos every now and then-- open,frank, and embarrassing talks with people closer to you

keep your friends close, cause only with them around can you see yourself truly.

Lesson--- Team Work

wait, didn't this person also write/post something about Teamwork awhile back? well yeah, but theres like totally a significant difference between teamwork and working in a team

that doesn't make any sense! it does, really, just think harder a little

alright, so the past few days were really one thing after another...busy, tiring---you know, the usual. but its always interesting to get to work in groups with other people and watch group dynamics :)

well so its fun when im the vice-president of a particular group and im in a briefing with the president (yeah, theres some "pretty big scale" thingy/event coming up nearer to the end of the year)

aaaaaand we decide to call a meeting with the executive committee the next day xD --all the calling and whats-app-ing and emailing and stuff just to get the meeting going. (trigger word: argument, phone)

so, like, anyway, the retarded thing is that the group has a secretary but instead its the vice-president that does all the "dirty work"/mundane tasks (email after the meeting at midnight) cause the president wants to remain "aloof" LOL!

oh wellz, its a problem I have I guess, I never like it to have to "assign" people to do stuff that I can easily complete myself. But that could have serious ramifications: doing all these "extra" stuff would really take up time (all those little minutes here and there can really add up!) and cause the person to "lose focus" on the main things that are important.

another effect would be the lack of the team actually working together, well yeah the task gets done not by the "right" person could lead to problems in the future when handing the job to the next person comes around.

well, me seriously gotta relook at me-self, and the pplz around me.
Team Player <--- still continually striving towards that

tttttttttired.... (understandably) *yawn*
