Correction Tape

My sister just succeeded in getting both her internet and phone access cut off.

On her birthday just 2 days ago, she got reprimanded by my dad cuz' she was showing behaviour that was terrible (a.k.a. Terrible Behaviour).

Just for that, he took away her internet access.

My sister was so dull at her own birthday party that it was no fun at all. But we kept the spirit up and ate cake that night and the next day for breakfast.

The next day, a Sunday, we went to church as usual, though brother ZiCao forced all his cell group members to go for the church camp (which I really don't want to go!!!).

After church, we went to Compass Point to have lunch to celebrate my sis' birthday. Swensen's was perfect. Their Fish n' Chips was superb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, both for the fish and the chips.

I ordered Chicken Baked Rice, which was rice (that tasted like fried rice) with melted cheese cooked with chicken slices.

It was heavenly. My brother thought that the salt was cheese (because my mother said that it was without properly analyzing the contents) and then had a hard time eating his rice...

We ordered some ice-cream a while later, which was so nice. The ice-cream was thick and creamy, and the whipped cream, though a little warm, was so soft and sweet.

Then just today, after my dad picked me up from the library near Jurong East MRT station, he went to pick her up from school.

He had told her to stay put in school and wait for him to come, but woe betode, she didn't appear for over 15 minutes.

We both thought that she would be in school, cuz' when my father called (many times) and she picked up (once), she said she was in school and waiting for him.

When she appeared (like from out of nowhere), it seemed that she was not at school but at her friend's house.

OMG! My father got so mad that he took away her phone priveleges.

Anyway, today was a pretty hectic day.

I woke up at 7 plus (a bit early for my taste, but still), then went onto the computer. Internet comes on at 08:00, so I waited a while and to pass time, I browsed through my old files.

When internet came, I made full use of it. During that time, I packed a small bag.

At about 10:30, I got off the computer and went to change into my school uniform.

I got my bag and went down to the music room. There, I practised a little piano, then went down again to the first floor.

I was pretty amazed and surprised that my father had prepared my bottle for me. I didn't expect him to so I thought of preparing it myself, but he got ahead of me.

Happy as I was, my mood was ruined by the ridiculous lies spouted from the Cisco alarm system that said that one of the windows was open, when it apparently wasn't.

Gag. Wasted so much of my time running up and down to search for the open window which doesn't exist at all...

The bus came very late, and while walking to the bus stop, I got my shoes all wet. I arrived at Junction 8 just in time. There was 2 minutes more until the train to Jurong East arrives.

I went down the escalator, pretty confused by the sign stating that the train was only to Marina Bay. When I got to the platform, I couldn't find a train going in the opposite direction, so I raced up again.

Then I spotted the escalator leading to the platform I needed to go to amidst the anxiety that I may miss the train and had to wait for the next one.

I tumbled down the stairs and got there just as the train pulled in. I really had to thank God for that one.

The whole 45 minute ride on the train was boring.

Upon arriving at Jurong East MRT station, I got out at the right (cuz' there were less people) and exited the station.

Just then, I noticed my phone ring. It was my father. I followed his instructions and headed to the place where my father was supposed to pick me up.

I went through Popular (of course not without stopping to admire the mangas there) and waited for him by the road.

I just stood there like a plain idiot, inhaling the smoke from various cigarette buds and almost killing my nose when I noticed that my father had pulled in at the opposite side of the road.

I ran across the road and crossed it as the green man turned red.

I got to the Science Center without a problem from there. The workshop was pretty much a mess as the first speaker was almost incomprehendable due to the extensive usage of chim words.

The second speaker was much easier to understand because he explains the terms more clearly.

We disappeared and went to McDonalds for lunch, where I had a Fillet-o-Fish student meal set plus an extra DoubleCheeseBurger.

How filling!

We went to the library by Jurong East MRT station and discussed our schedule and roles there.

We were pretty confused with how ailerons and the wing shape work. We initially thought they worked on the same principle, but I just found out that the wing shape utilizes air pressure, while the ailerons simply require the wind force.

During a 5 minute break (which I dragged out to 10 minutes), I went checking out the comic section. They had Dragon Voice! They had Eyeshiled 21! (I'll talk about that in the next post) They had Hikaru no Go!

I wanted to borrow all of them, but I didn't know the quota, so I only got 5 (which would have been over the quota if it were in normal circumstances anyway).

I got Eyeshiled 21 6, Hikaru no Go 1-4. YAY FOR ME!

So yeah, that's how I ended up with these books by me right now.

P.S. I think I grew taller, cuz' at my grandma's house on Friday I was able to touch a part of the hanging display in her house that I've never been able to touch before. YAY!
