National Day Celebrations

Went to sch today.. Woots.. Became 1 of the 6 poor souls from my CG to be present on the assembly ground this morning. My cg's not united & was never enthu. Unlike other cgs: spotted 1 super-duper-uber enthu class, all (or so it seems) turned up in red t-shirts, brought shades to act cool & bought little Singapore flags to wave around (those flags remind me of my pri sch days.. lol) to display their enthusiasm. They're determined to earn Temasek Challenge points for their cg (TC is a longlonglong competition that goes on for a year & the best cg gets $ rewards) Hehe. I think my cg's TC points is like 0 or something, cos no one cared to participate in whatsoever events/activities/competitions lined up by the sch, should count our lucky stars not to have points deducted for our automatic disqualification. Haix.. Oh btw, i turned up today not cos im patriotic, i got some SGC stuff to settle & need to look for tutor.. Haha.. Actually needless to say, I aren't a guai kia.

Sky, YW & I practised our 'vanishing spells' & didnt join the celebrations in the hall. Wanted to study in the LEP room.. When we got there, we saw some guys there & found out the room's doors & windows are locked. DARN. Can't even climb in =x

So we went around looking for suitable hiding spots to avoid detection by OM & patrolling tutors. The guys were Darn loud, stepping on metal drain covers *clank-clang-clank* wth they really don't know how to be discrete. Being smart girls, we didn't bother to follow them, we were much faster & those spots they were looking in, we'd already considered. Finally found a nice sheltered place. Shhhhh.. shan't disclose the secret location as i may still need it in future. It isn't exactly comfortable, but at least there's a roof on top of our heads, heard that the guys settled in the 'wilderness' (an area behind classrooms, facing the green green grass patch)
Our 'hideout' is quite quiet so every sound gets amplified, footsteps (from the hardworking cleaners perhaps?!) got us riled up as we'll suspect whether it's tutors out to catch students in hiding & we'll gather our stuff, moving to see if we are in 'danger'. After sometime, we got sick of all these false alarms & just leave it to fate. Since we are already in such a secluded place, if we still kenna caught. Then... What can i say? It just DArn suay loh.

That's when i longed for Harry Potter's Invisible Croak, hope it's big enough to cover the 3 of us. Quick-witted YW thought of a better one. Get Doraemon's ren4 yi4 men2 the portable door that Doraemon pulls out of his front pocket aka ba1 bao3 dai4 & it can lead to anywhere & everywhere. Use it to go home & sleep. The ever-so-creative Cloud (which happens to be me) immediately thought of something better ^o^v Use it to go Switzerland & ski. Save on transport costs!! Oops! Wait... No.. Wrong season.. It's not yet winter season.. How to ski??

After sometime, we heard a loud booming voice of a man, saying 'Oei!' Then a girl's voice saying sth.. Can't make out the conversation. So we suspected someone/group was hiding downstairs & got hauled back by whoever's patrolling. Ok.. I just let out the fact that we aren't on ground level. Actually we contemplated moving to another more secluded place from our current location, which involves some climbing (which shouldn't be too diff) & we could see some footprints there. Hehe.. Which means more than 1 teejay cians are as smart as us.
But safely first la.. Falling from heights?? Don't pray pray arh!

For those who don't know this exclusive spot? Go rack your brains kay? haha even after spending so much time in the campus, i never knew of the place's existence as it's highly inaccessible -the only door that leads to the place is perpetually locked if im not wrong (hey man! that's another clue!)
Hmm *hand on chin* that makes a good ghost story setting~

As i'd mentioned before that spot we remained in is secluded -so ulu-ulu that we were sort of being cut off from the rest of the world 与世隔绝 Woots.. We didn't even know celebrations ended until we msged our friends to ask. By then, the campus' already buzzing with people. We had this strange feeling -like we got thrown back into the noisy world after spending some time in the serene world of our own within minutes or maybe seconds. WEIRD.

Went for lunch after that & headed back to school for self-study in the library. Aha! Finally we can go to somewhere with air-con 'legally'. Surprised to see all the ground level central area's sofas taken up by sleeping students. I wonder why they wanna stay in sch & sleep though there's no lessons & cca activities & the sch gates are wide open.
Maybe the sofas are too comfortable to resist??
Haha refer to my 17 july post on 'sofas in the lib' for interesting observations.

ClouD thinks time simply flies.. in the twinkle of an eye.. It's National Day!
