anyway i guess this weekend has been more activity-packed than usual. went for the sentosa costa sands chalet booked by poon after camp on friday. we did some night cycling and it was my first time..haha. there was hardly any light in the jungle trail and we even had to carry our bikes over a small fallen tree at some point, which sounds fun but wasn't that fun in practice. anyway i also felt like puking trying to cycle up a whole stretch of sloping road. yet another excellent example of the fine condition of my physical fitness. i had a horrible dream that night. i dreamt my upper study was barking at me for some stupid mistake i did again, and i for once actually shouted back at him something in chinese to the effect of "i know i'm stupid, useless, blah blah... but at least i know i tried my best ok!" and i felt really terrible. even after i woke up. i've been having an alarming number of dreams which are directly connected to life in my present unit. and the scary thing is they're so real.
anyway. yesterday was mainly spent playing volleyball at the beach and arcade games at the ground level of the chalet. i haven't played them in like forever so they were quite entertaining. the bbq wasn't that fun though since not everyone was very cohesive and the satay meat had gone a bit sour. went home after that. for now i feel like i'm developing another bout of heatiness. anyway as a kid i was addicted to arcade games (though i never was good at them for the amount of tokens invested) and always mildly fascinated with the sight of grown men in office wear playing in arcades. i've a good mind to be one of those in the future.
there's less than a week left to christmas. can't really decide if the festive mood has really gotten to me yet. been doing a bit of christmas shopping recently, more than any other previous x'mases, but i'm only half done. some presents can be a bit of a headache. haven't been keeping tabs on my spending, what with driving lessons already sapping my finances. wonder what's going to become of the x'mas gathering with the jc people. hmm i've decided i will draft up a list of new year resolutions for next year after all.
can't wait for ayumi hamasaki's new album to be out. my singular obsession with a singer (in)famous for her hard-to-work-with attitude and diva antics who croons unabashedly commercial tunes in a language i can hardly understand isn't easily summarisable so i'm not gonna try here.
and purely for self-indulgence, a x'mas wish list (till i can think of more):
>a black t-shirt with gold print on it.
>the my story album.
>a book of modern poetry which reads like song lyrics.
>the lotr trilogy extended version boxset.
