Just came back from blading at East Coast...now feet very pain....so while resting, i decided to post.
Wahhh....today got back A maths...n im glad to say that i passed. Not by much though...in fact...not by anything. cause i got exactly 50 marks. So lucky lol. After that there was checking of CCA points...now this...is the only thing i failed miserably in. Got 5....n jingwen was like...YAY i got 30!!! =.="
Went for this SS Civic District Tour after sch...1st was St. Andrew's Cathedral...wah..i go there den like...damn scared when the tour guide said it was previously a cemetery. Den now just started raining somemore...i think tonite cannot slp again... Anyway, while the guide was talking, there was this cockroach behind her...we had to walk under the arch where the cockroach was, so all the boys just walked through like nth liddat, but the girls were...hesitant...all like scared cockroach will bite them or sth... Went to this fort canning gate after that. Who in the right mind puts a fort in the middle of nowhere...well, it was meant to keep the chinese at bay, or so the guide said. Cause of n incident where the Cantonese fought wif the Hokkiens over 5 katies (pronounced catties) of rice. Thats y the guns r pointed inwards instead of out to sea. Wat a waste of metal....
Next was the Supreme Court. The place where the judges do the things that they do...like hold trials n stuff. Looked quite nice...like hotel... We went into one of the subordinate court rooms. Apparently there r all sorts of different courts... The tour guide said that anyone could go in to watch the trial...all they needed to do was bow when they walked in n again when they walked out. So me n jingwen were joking that when walk in bow, then feel like going to toilet bow again, come back bow, hp ring go out ans bow, come back in bow, go out eat sth bow, come back in bow, n on n on. The judge will be like...wth is this guy doing....
Was actually supposed to go to the parliament hse but cause the parliament was in session cause of that gay marriage thing, we couldn't go in. Awwww....
The URA building was the last stop...urban development authority...the name kinda says it all doesnt it. It develops urban areas....duh... Looked at how Singapore changed due to the land reclamation, how the government made use of the limited area we have n all that geog crap. Played a quiz called "know your singapore" or sth like that...Gurmit was like the host so it was...interesting.
After all the visits everywhere, the tour guides let us off to eat at Maxwell Food Centre. Bought fried oyster to eat cause well...i was hungry. Yingjie bought fried kway tiao but was almost time to leave n the bus came, so we were helping him to eat. Then when we got on the bus, no one was on it...so he was complaining that he wasted his money.
Ahh..ya...my mom bought a cactus for me...i'm supposed to take care of it like my pet...
holidays r coming in 2 wks time...
brendon...
