when you're feeling like you need a break, there's no place like redang... sigh

Gillian funfact #382: she didn't put sunblock on the back of her legs. Ouch.
P.S. Thank you so much sayang for getting me the book with the extra special message :) i love you :D
almost seems impossible to study after eating lunch.
here's one for you rubin
part 2 of pictures due to blogger being dumb, or most probably stupid NUS settings
Gan Eng Seng bridge. The suspension bridge is becoming popular due to a certain school always winning with the same fucking design for the past 8+ years.
Holy Innocents i think. They spent lots of money on the bamboo to make the bridge. Bamboo which broke only AFTER the judging. Fuck!
Again, our bridge. Top railings looks sloppy because the boys were already tired and had to rush through.
Catholic high bridge 2. yes, they sent in 2 teams each for the tower and bridge. They've got a huge store!
Dunno what school with huge gateway and a lot of rafia string.
bloddy blogger, don't know what is wrong with it, can't let me post all the phtos in one shot. so here's half of the photos.
Our "bridge"
Catholic high's bridge. The same for many years but still looking very good.
again, catholic high's towers. Same design for the past 8 years at least. Those dumb judges should put in marks for originality. You can't build the same thing for 8 years! Both towers are theirs, the one in the foreground and the one with the red banners.
St. Pat's structure, they're getting better now, coming up with a lot more good designs.
Gan Eng Seng. Not such a good picture but this tower looks good.
well, i have the pictures of the scout competition in my computer at home so i'll get them up when i have the time. the boys did quite well, we made it into the finals for all the events which we registered for and although we only came in 2nd for the trestle race, i think it's good that the boys got more exposure to the competition. this would mean that at least now they have an idea of what the standard is like and won't be asking me all the time what the winning timing was the last time and what was expected of them. Our bridge finished with a silver and our tower came in with a bronze. Very disappointing. The bridge people learnt a very important lesson that day, that sometimes even the small details are important. We made them take down and build the bridge 3 times because they kept on making silly mistakes and not paying attention to the basics. That resulted in the platform at the top being slanted and also the whole structure not being vertical but instead looking like it's falling down. Like i told the teacher, it seems that our boys haven't learnt that if they do things right the first time, they won't have to repeat things and in the end, won't tire themselves out doing things for nothing. and also, they seem to be unable to notice the details (like how they should have made sure that the platform wasn't slanted before bringing it up). but nevertheless, it was a good chance for the boys to learn. Daryl would agree that with all the effort we had put in, we deserved more but there is only so much that you can do as a leader. It still depends on the boys to try their best.
it's interesting that even the smallest things matter in a relationship. maybe it's not obvious, maybe it's been ignored one too many times. a lot can change in a week.
CONGRATS to my dearest girlfriend for not biting her nails for 10/11 days, or something like that!!
i love you even more now... haha
also, have any of you guys seen the trailer for the movie Adrift? i mean, seriously, how fucking stupid are americans?
"Set on the coast of Mexico, six long-time friends go on a cruise in a luxury yacht. Things go wrong when everybody jumps into the water, leaving only a baby on board, only to realise that they forgot to let down the ladder and there's no way to climb back onto the boat."
oo. lets sail out into the big blue ocean, take a short swim in the ocean while the baby is asleep. Oops, seems like daddy's boat doesn't have a diving platform. Too bad the freeboard (height of ship's deck above water) is too high for us.
just when you thought they couldn't get any dumber,
Way to go! You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know "no" from "know." Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).
