Again.

Trying, trying, trying to load 'The Voice' now, but I've been stuck at the same episode for two days now because the Internet connection we've got here has deteriorated into something terrible and unspeakable and depressing. 

Anyway, haven't posted in forever but that's okay. That means I've been busy doing other things (and sort of maybe having a life out there). 

What's happened since the etiquette dinner? A tonne of things. 

In terms of F1 races, I missed the Korean race because I was out at Sentosa with Fatinn and a bunch of her Year 6 friends because it was her birthday. Ate at the Vivo rooftop, then sat at a beach at Sentosa and watched shirtless guys play volleyball for a few hours, then ate again. Fun. I'm going to miss the Year 6s when they graduate. Jia Hong was updating me with race details, and thanks to unlimited texting, I can say I didn't really feel as if I was missing the race at all. Vettel won, Webber second and Alonso third. Massa finished fourth, which was really good for him (he's confirmed a seat at Ferrari for next year, for which I am glad). 

The Indian GP at Buddh was two days ago, strangely timed in the evening. Vettel won again (and his race engineer did a Crazy Frog over the team radio, which was really cute), Alonso second in front of Webber (good driving by Alonso, really. Made it up from fifth on the grid). Went out to eat after that, with KT, Kelvin and Wee Thean. Thai Express really is our default place whenever we go to WCP. Sometimes decision-making wastes time, and when you're hungry, time-wasting isn't something you want to do. 


In terms of books read, I finished reading 'A Game of Thrones' after the second script-checking day, because I was depressed and needed to like drown my sorrows in a fantasy world of gore, murder, treachery, politics, and unnecessary sex scenes (or paragraphs, which I skipped). Never done that badly for any exam ever, so let's not talk about it ever again. Book was good and epic and quite unputdownable (because I love how this is a real word, and it explains why I've been sleeping past 3 in the morning every day now). Tried to watch the television show, but the sex scenes were like too explicit for my taste, so I've given up. I think I'm quite hopeless. Can't even bear to watch making out scenes because they disgust me. Maybe I really do need professional help. 


In terms of movies watched (I might miss some because there were quite a few), saw 'Sherlock Holmes' (the 2010 movie) and 'Taken' in the TV room yesterday, 'Mirrors' a few nights ago (have I mentioned I despise horror movies? Well I despise them) in the TV room, 'Looper' at Jurong Point a week or so ago, 'Wu Dang' (some Chinese film about radioactive Tai Chi, that's how we put it) and 'Wrath of the Titans' (as bad as its predecessor, 'Clash of the Titans') in the TV room two weeks ago, 'Spy Kids 2' with MJ in her room a while back (chronological order means nothing to me now), 'Exam' (some messed up mind-effing low-budget movie about a bunch of people taking an exam) and 'A Thousand Words' (quite meaningful, not bad) in the TV room God-knows-when, and '500 Days of Summer' by myself in my room because I wanted to be reminded of what Joseph Gordon-Levitt really looks like without the Looper prosthetics. I think that's about it. I think. Ten movies in two weeks. Not bad. 

Year-End Dinner happened too. Yeah. Quite fun. 

Also did ARP stuff with Wai Yin. Yeah ARPing is fun.


Went out to Sentosa again today (so it looks like we've come full circle) to sort of celebrate Aisyah's birthday. Have some footage, so will edit and upload sometime. 

Hung out around the beach, ate, then it rained so we had to move, then it stopped raining so we walked on the sand (fake beach, not really beach, sand was horrible and water was gross) while the others played ball and did some frisbee-throwing and bullied some crabs, then it rained again so we had to retreat and stuff. Okay tiring, words are tiring now.
