To the only thing that's true
I knocked out at 10pm last night. It's by far the earliest I've slept all year!
Sports meet was one of the worst I had in my life. There's no one to blame entirely, but everything adds up to quite a fiasco. Firstly, the weather. Actually the weather was fine. But there was a bit of a drizzle and by a bit I mean, a bit but Dunman High students are suddenly covered by umbrellas. The entire block of DHS students turned into an umbrella parade. I was in charge of drumming a dustbin (?) and cheering for the year 1 block. They were far more enthusiastic than the other levels but the atmosphere was just not there! I remember the past 3 years, the cheering was just continuous and DHS cheered as a whole. When the events were running the entire school would cheer them on as one. But this year something was just lacking. Either because so many people were missing because of SYF, or because the DHS spirit is lacking in this cohort. It's quite sad actually, I always feel so much love for the DHS spirit during sports day.
Most of the time we didn't even know that an event is starting because the announcer was announcing the results. Bad planning? I should think so. The events were not very exciting, just a thought. Oh maybe they should really put high jump B Girls during the grand finals. That should be interesting, 3 Dunmanians jumping for the sake of it. Ha ha!
Went out with Mel, Cherie, JM, Mich, Eva, Xinhui, Serene and June. Eva left because we weren't eating Sakae but we met her later coincidentally! Fate or what.Went to Suntec for lunch and talked and all then walked around and ate at Swensen's. I really think the amount of food intake I have is plain scary. Then we went to the Esplanade and walked around while Xinhui did a very embarrassing thing but I love her candidness anyway. We went to library and absorbed all the culture of the arts, I like! And went to the roof terrace to find our inner peace. I would have run wild doing spins on the open space if there wasn't anyone. But I really felt calm and all when we sat by the river feeling the breeze and lying back so that I could see nothing by the sky and the occasional bird.
It was so, so calming and peaceful and there wasn't a particular topic 7 of us were on, just making small talk and feel totally at peace. I feel so at ease with these people I really love and cherish I really am grateful to have found them (or they found me) in someway or other. Each of them is so real and true and we are alike in more ways than one it's so easy to communicate and bring across what I feel and say. They understand, they do.
And after tuition I was a pig, sleeping the afternoon away.
