Pool Nite (Before, During, and After)

Pool Nite was tonight (27th April 2007), and… it’s a long story.

The Before, During, and After, are all LONG stories.

The ‘Before’ stretched from probably 2:45pm to 5:45pm and included a lot of clatter. (Also some illegal business, sneaking around places, and ‘bullying’ a ‘poor, innocent’ friend.)

The ‘During’ went from 5:45pm to around 9:40pm and had a lot of ‘duty’ involved. (Also a rare stroke of good pool for me, and interesting displays to goggle at.)

The After (still ongoing from the time that this blogpost is supposed to be) proceeded from 9:40pm to first 3:26am, then to approximately 5am, and was all about laughter, mixing, jokes and fun. (Also having Mackers, not getting drunk, having tours of SEF’s Pavillion and my room, and pic-snapping.)

Conclusion: It will be (or actually, has been) a very long night. It is an even longer story. Thus I shall not bother to regale all and sundry with details on it all, because it is impossible to list out every single happening of those beautiful long hours. Read and wonder, and suffer, and regret that you didn’t stay back =D

Yes, you people who went home directly after Pool Nite ended, read what I have written, feel confused, and cry because you weren’t there to share the fun with us ^^

And those who came and are reading this, smile please as you remember those hours spent lazily chatting and watching them play pool. It was wonderful and I love you all ^^

Note to anyone who thought otherwise: Obviously, this wasn’t written on the 27th. I’ve just timestamped it to make it seem like it was posted then. So there’s nothing wrong with my tenses. Or, rather, there.should.not.be.anything.wrong. =.=

SAM Barbie on the Menzies Lawn

Before beginning my first post for the day, I would like to say something: Shame to anyone who thought that I’d seen a barbie doll named SAM on the Lawn.

Today the Singapore Association of Monash (I hope that I got that name right >.>”) had a BBQ for its members on the Menzies Lawn, from 11-1pm.

I only found out at 12 something, ‘coz I hadn’t gone online all night on Thursday (due to reasons readable on my last blogpost). My reaction upon reading the informing email? Raine: ‘OHHHH so that’s why Daryl (SAM VP) was up here getting the BBQ set. Ah.’ omg so blurrrrrr…

Do I hear someone asking why I am in SAM when I’m Malaysian and should be in MUMSU?? Well, the answer is ‘no idea’.

So. I found out. Went outside to have a look–mmm nice scents wafting up, not too many people downstairs around the BBQ pit, but the wind was too cold for me to go down. Couldn’t be bothered (again). Went back inside to stay warm.

Alas, Noriko (also in SAM) came by and asked me whether I wanted to have a look downstairs. Relenting, I went down… and shivered. Brrrr… the wind sure is crazy here. Went back into the lounge to hide from the elements.

Eventually went down to have a sausage roll. Listened to some *ahem* words of wisdom from Renold and Danny, which included things like ‘lectures are good to sleep in’ and ‘I never went to a lecture in my life’ among others. Oh, and lame/witty jokes were peppered around the conversations too. Eg, ‘Does your mom know that you’re stupid?’. Miao.

Actually saw someone that I know from Jap classes o.o Cheryl!!!! What a surprise. Lol. Now I know what to chat to her about during breaks on Wednesdays.

Left at 12:56pm after being reassured by Renold, Danny and Noriko that lectures are worth going to. Brought my laptop along though, and that could have been my biggest mistake ‘coz I ended up cozying up to ‘him’ most of the hour instead of listening to my lecturer. All’s fine with that though, since it was an Accounting lecture and all I have to do to know the content of those slides is the 2R’s and 2D’s: Download the slides, Read the textbook, Refer on my past learnings on Acc, Do the tute questions. Simple. Also explains why I regularly skiv off my Thursday 2-3pm Accounting lectures.

That’s it for the SAM barbie though. More to come on my next blogpost about Friday… stay tuned!!
