Episode: rush, rush, rush, rush
Friday, September 26, 2008

Early in the morning, it was raining. It felt so good to stay in bed at that moment, but after awhile, I had to wake up and get ready to go for prayers. So, I rushed out of bed.

I went to the mosque with my dad in his car, so after prayers, I asked his if he could rush me to school. He did sent me to school, and I arrived in the studio exactly on time, at around 2pm.

I reached the studio, and the first thing I saw was Ivan taking pictures of his Muji bowl in a package. I find it very awesome!

Soon, the delivery guy came to collect and send the package over to Japan. It cost Ivan almost a hundred buck to settle the bill. Ivan used FedEx to deliver his Muji entry, no wonder it cost a lot of money. Ivan, my bro, good luck to you. I wish you all the best in this competition, I guess not only me, but the class do hope that you go all the way to win the competition. With sacrifices and your hard work put to your design, I do believe you will go far. If you do win, don't forget about me, k? Hahax!

Anyways, I was there at the studio to show what I got in my portfolio to my lecturer. He gave a lot of pointers to what should be and what should not be in a portfolio and how to arrange the works. In the end, I got a lot to change. So, I guess tomorrow, since I am free, I will do it. After all, this is for internship and for future use as well.

At around 4+, everybody there went out of the studio, and hailed a cab just outside the campus. During this time, my gal called me up. She called to ask whether I had seen her Ez-link card. She seem to misplace it, and the last time she used it was when we had that couple outing. Well, I had no clue, as it was always with her. After awhile, she put down the phone and went searching again.

Soon, we got a cab. Headed down to Geylang area with the rest of them.

Oh, our lecturer gave us this sweet. It is around 5cm long. Well, it is just a long hard candy. I just find this sweet interesting.

When we arrived there, we chilled and had a good chat. It was my first time being there, so I was quite curious to know about the place. While the rest of them had fresh coconut juice drink from a coconut, I had to just sit and watch since I am fasting.

Over there, there was this Japanese tourist coming in to try some Durians sold there. The sales assistant there somehow conned them, well he tried. What happened was, the tourist asked the salesperson to pick a Durian that is not too smelly and at the same time tastes sweet. The salesperson picked one huge Durian and opened it up. I can see that the amount was too much for the couple to finish it up, so the tourist couple told the salesman that they wanted to buy half the Durian. The salesperson told them that they do not sell half a Durian here in Singapore, in addition he tried to con the tourist couple, $50 for the Durian. In the end, the tourist was smart enough to deny the offer. The salesperson then cursed the tourist.

Is this how people do business? Such bad service. The salesperson could at first take a small Durian to start with. I think he could make some money if he did. I mean, they are traveling as a couple, giving them a huge Durian just would not help. One, they could not finish it and two, the price is really too much, it is a waste of money.

After all the commotion, I rushed back to school for my Sepak Takraw training. Today is suppose to be the selection trial for the team that is going to represent the school in the upcoming competition. I arrived late. I even had to break fast in the train on the way to school. Remember the sweet my lecturer gave? Yup, I had that to break my fast. I though that there would be a lot turning up, but it was the opposite. In the end, only 7 people turned up. We played no games, all we did was skill training. It was really tiring, especially when you have not had a meal for the whole day. Well, we ended training at around 10pm, and the names of the selected ones are announced. Guess what? I am one of them. Yeahoo! I am going to train harder and let no one take my place.

Straight after training, I rushed home. My whole family was waiting for me to reach home, before they start cutting my sister's birthday cake. When I got home, I bathed and then get to the dinner table for the cake cutting ceremony. My younger sister turns 18 on this day.

This was the cake. It was Nutella cake. It looks yummy!

Well, as usual, we took photos.

Cutting the cake.

Well, I had the first slice, as it was the biggest one. Then, I just gobbled down the cake as I was really hungry. Well, the cake was not that nice, but who cares when you are hungry?

My sister received presents from my parents and elder sister. She got a mug and a teddy bear with some cash in it. Well, I did not get her any presents this year. I had hardly anytime to go around searching for her present and I was not sure on what to get for her. Maybe a kitten, but that idea is impossible, as my mom do not like having a cat in the house.

Well, today I did a lot of rushing. I rushed to the mosque, to school, and then after chillin' with my classmates, I rushed back to school for my CCA, and lastly rushed home as my family was waiting for me.
