Better luck next time
i'm so gonna crash eventually... two weeks without much sleep and still going strong don't feel too tired at all... thought crashed yesterday what with a super drowsy-feeling nap in the afternoon but just an hour later up and hopping again... to think last night was the first night on bed for such a long time...
everything's still runnning at a pretty hectic pace. but that's good i guess... as much as i like idling away and stuff hitting the runway and immediately going to a standstill will surely kill... it's like last time previous years syc and holiday trips will always involve a 'post event syndrome' le this time is double the effect
supper and sleepover at ash's place was great.. it's funny how it's only two weeks and they were the last people i saw before going for syc (heck, i already checked in at relc that day already but went for the e1 thing anyway). but it felt like so super long
then alpha bbq at east coast yesterday. i'm taking such brilliant care of my cough/throat. two weeks with no normal voice already and just when the two weeks starts to die down i continue feeding it wine and bbq food. the sambal stingray was nice. too bad can't take too much (i'd probably find it too hot if i could eat more anyway). lots of thanks to slykiong for organising it... cos i'm like in the middle of the batches that were invited i've worked with everyone present for a pretty long time. before going wasn't too confident of the event but when it started it was all reminiscing of the good ol' days and random stuff around
at first was kinda like separated into the ord and still serving group. we were like enjoying saw's talking idol entertainment at the table and all while the others were so nice bbq-ing and serving us now and then. lol. like felt so vip-like
after a while went to mingle with the rest. toby was being his mischevious best, constantly harrasing saw and all haha. started off we were eating our marshmellows and stuff (making fun of saw and his 30-min perfect, golden brown marshmellow along the way). after a while we saw the opposite pit playing sparklers. we got kinda jealous and started burning our marshmellows. it's quite pretty actually, esp when the sun has set and all. cool.. marshmellow sparklers. new find of the day. but quite sad. no one brought a camera there! i had one brilliant pose of me playing with our marshmellow sparklers with the other pit with real sparklers in the background but cos all we have are those terrible phone cameras couldn't capture that. oh well...

One glass to start the blood flowing fleet
A second for all the good times and memories
The third to whisk away to sleep
Tomorrow heralds a new beginning
New beginnings back to old ways...
There's still the fourth and last glass
For all the merriment that will never be made
Or maybe for a someone who wants a different take
On the window ledge that shall go
A toast to the spirits out there who will know
Better luck next time =)
