A surprise birthday for Hwee Leng.
Met Chee How and Leying at Jurong Point. We went to get a card and a present for Hwee Leng first. Adalia joined us shortly after. After that, we went down to the Icing Room to get the cake. Took a bus to Hwee Leng's house. We stopped at the playground there to finish up writing on the card. Then we made our way up to her house and surprise her. Everything turned out quite awkwardly as we didn't do much planning. Left her house shortly after cutting the cake.
Walked around JP before we took a bus to Leying's house. Tried to help her with her maths question but wasn't of much help. Went back home after that.

Saturday
Steamboat at Jeremy's house + Kaifeng's birthday
Met Jessica at Aljunied first and made our way down to Tampines. Upon reaching, saw a few of the Chingay participants (Kaylyn, Zhen Wei, Wei Siang and a few others I forgot the name) who were heading to another friend's house first. Jeremy was already there waiting for us. Apparently some others were going to be late so we walked around Tampines Mall first. Gordon, Seth, Jing Hui, Dylan and Amanda reached shortly after. We slacked around a while, playing arcade and taking photos. Then we made our way to the bus interchange and met up with the rest. Took a bus to Jeremy's house. His dog was quite fat. Well, we sat around first, chatting and playing with the dog. Then one group of us ate first while the other group played cards and PS3. Switched over after that.
After the steamboat, some went over to another friend's house again while the rest of us went back to Tampines. Took a lot of photos again at Tampines Mall. Met up with Jeremy and a few of the committee members from PAYM who were involved in the Chingay @ Heartlands. Made our way to find the PAYM float and coincidentally bump into Xinyi and her boyfriend for the third time. Took a lot of photos along the way.
Head back to Tampines MRT station as I had to make my way down to Pasir Ris to attend Kaifeng's birthday at Downtown East. Met up with the NP Wushu people who happened to be leaving the shopping center. Walked our way to the chalet. There was quite a lot of food there.
Head back down to Eunos to find Jessica, Wei Siang and another friend. Sat around chatting, went to the fitness corner and played some games. Saw the Chingay floats going by. That was the last we saw of the float. Left at 11.40pm.

Gyming session.
Went to gym with Guo Hong and Ronnie at Hougang Stadium. It is like more than 2 months since I went to gym. Need to continue with exercise somehow while recovering my ankle. Haven't been training for nearly 2 months as well, partially due to Chingay trainings and some personal reasons.
But everything is going to waste as tomorrow I will be having steamboat in the afternoon and birthday celebration at Pasir Ris =x

Circus acts is fun.
Went to Bukit Batok Driving Center to apply for Basic Theory Test. Test date is on 7th April. Head down to Yuhua Sec to see their rehearsal for coming Saturday's performance. Went down to Orchard with Seth after that to go walk around first. Happened to see some of my MMA friends there. Had dinner at the Food Opera at ION Orchard. $5 for a plate of Wanton Noodle =.= Jessica and Gordon joined us shortly after. Made our way down to Tampines to find Jeremy. He brought some of his circus toys for us to practice with. The only trouble I have now is the Diabolo. Still can't balance it well. Stayed on until around 11pm before we left.

Shopping time =D
Met Guo Hong at City Hall MRT station. We walked our way to Funan first. Tried to find LG accessory shop there but to no avail. Walked over to Bugis and had lunch at KFC. Did some shopping at Bugis Street for clothes. Ended up with 3 tops and 2 bottoms and a belt. Spent near $100. After that, we walked over to Sim Lim Square to try find the shop selling LG phone accessories. Managed to find the USB cable and battery. Went over to play LAN back at Illuma as we still had quite some time. Made our way down to Jurong Point after that for dinner and also Guo Hong had some business to do there. Head for Gek Poh shortly after to coach.

A long tiring 3 days
Thursday
The night before, had DotA marathon with Kang Wei, Leonard, Wen Hau and Edmund. Played about 4-5 matches. Slept at 5am.
Went to meet Amol, Christina, Vicki and Myron at 313 Somerset. Had our dinner at Food Republic. After that, we went over to Ben & Jerry's at Orchard Central. Forgot what we ordered. Made our way down to F1 Pit for the Technical Run. All performers were there. Wasn't a very bad run. Some changes made. End of the day, went for supper with Christina, Q, Gordon, Seth and another 2 participants at Makan Sutra. Left at around 1.30am. Slept at 4am.
Friday
Met with the usual group of people at McDonald for breakfast. Made our way down to Anderson and waited for the rest to arrive. Changed out, put on make-up, had our lunch. Left the place at 5.30pm. Once there, we went to our waiting area and had our dinner. Went over to find the Wufang people. Had our own practice before the actual thing starts. Parade started 8pm+ and we wait on for our turn to enter. Once it was our turn, we got ourselves prepared. The music was played. We ran into our position. Did our dance, ladder stunts. It all went well during the first run. Second run we were a bit slow. Overall the performance put up was great. Head back to Anderson to change out of our costume. Once done, everyone left the school. Me, Seth and Kelvin went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to see Benny who had a high fever. Had some snacks while waiting. After fetching Benny out, went over to Vicki's house where Jessica and Gordon were already there. Washed up before we got some sleep at 3am.
Saturday
Woke up at 6am but dillydally till about 7.30am before we all got ourselves ready to eat breakfast at McDonald again. Reached there at 9.30am. A lot of people reached at like 12pm+, as everyone was very tired from the preview performance. Changed out, put on the costume, did make up. Once everyone was done we proceeded on to take the bus.to F1 pit. Like usual, we got our dinner once seated down. Waited for our turn to perform. The first run was pretty good, even with the same problem that we had, we managed to pull through the performance. Second run was okay also. We managed to get in on time. After our performance at the second run, we quickly made our way to clear out. Sadly, we had a number of casualties. One of them fainted, one of them was dehydrated, two over-strained their hand, one had her head knocked by the ladder, one had her hands ran over by the boom lift.
After the whole thing, we made our way back to school and changed out. Cleared up the hall before we proceeded on to get ready for City Alive!. Took the bus to F1 Pit and tried to bring in Jessica but she was underage so couldn't get in. So some of us took turns to go in and some waited outside with her. While waiting, we went over to our float to take photos. Wanted to find some place to eat but almost everywhere was closed. So we made our way back to the F1 Pit as some of the other Chingay people came out so we split ourselves to take cab home.

Friday
Met up with Chng Jie and Jessica outside their school. Slacked at TPY library a while before we made our way to Somerset to meet Amol. We walked over to Cineleisure, hoping to get tickets to watch movie, but the slot that we wanted was sold out. In the end, we decided to walk around to Lido. Had LJS and slacked a while. Seth joined us shortly after he ended his medical checkup. Walk to Centrepoint to find Christina at Bata. She was quite busy, seeing that she didnt notice we were standing outside for about 5 minutes. Sent Jessica to the MRT station and went back to Bata. Waited for Christina to end work and we walked to 313 @ Somerset. Went to Uniqlo and bought a shirt and bermudas.
Saturday
Went over to Jessica's house with Seth first. Wanted to give a surprise visit but she didn't let us in at first =.= When Gordon arrived, we somehow managed to be let in the house. Jessica was still a little restless. Left at 6.45pm to make my way to my grandma's house for steamboat. Received 3 angbao so far.
Are we slowly drifting apart???

So many things has happened.
Sunday
Went over to Jessica's house and we (Jessica, Seth, Gordon and me) cooked macaroni for her parents and us. More of the cooking was done by Gordon as he learned cooking in ITE. Overall, the result was not too bad. We stayed on to chat and watch TV until about 11pm and we went downstairs to wait for the bus and at the same time, we drank the wine that we initially wanted to use for cooking. Gordon finished half of the bottle before he passed on to us. He was nearly dead drunk so he and Seth went up and stayed over at Jessica's house while I took a cab home. Reached home in 18 mins. O.o
Tuesday
Went to school as per normal to do some IA work. Around 3pm, met Seth and we made our way down to Eunos and waited for Gordon. We went to Jessica's house again to visit her as she seemed very sick. Had a hard time getting her to take her medicine. It had been more than 2 hours and she still haven't finish taking her medicine. Had to leave at 6pm to make my way back to school. Waited for the bus but it didn't seem to appear. Decide to cab down. In the end, the journey back to school was a freaking one hour long. And the cab fare was like $30++, thanks to the long jam on the expressway and peak hour charge. =.= Did some discussion on the performance and went to McDonald's for dinner.
Wednesday
Did the same as previous day. Made my way down to Clementi to meet Seth first and went down to City Hall to meet the others. Had dinner only and we made our way down to the F1 pit. Not much, just rehearsing with the Resorts World, SOKA and the professional stuntmen. We were released around 11pm.
Thursday
VIVA for the Integrated Assignment. Managed to finish a bit more before the presentation. Was criticised a bit on our website. After the presentation, we could finally heave a sigh of relief as the most stress period for Year 2 is finally over. Went down to clubhouse to find the NPWushu people.We had a performance down at Seletar Camp for some CNY event. Upon reaching, we realise the stage was a bit too challenging so we performed on the ground instead. Food was provided for us. Head down to PAHQ after that for Chingay. There were some changes again. Ended around 10.30pm.

Full Dress Rehearsal cum Media Preview.
Saturday was a very long day for us. Met the usual group of people at 8.30am at AMK McDonald for breakfast. Walked to Anderson Secondary at 9am for trainers have to be there early. Only a few of us had reached. We sat down and played cards while waiting. Took a few photos and at around 11am, we started to do changing of costumes and make-up. The ladder participants went to change first while the dancers had their lunch. Took a very long time for everyone to get ready. Once the ladder participants were done, we had our lunch while the dancers did their costume change. We were quite behind time, we were supposed to leave by 3pm but we sort of left about 20 minutes late.
Reached F1 Pit and we got to our waiting point. Waited for our turn as we were the last float. Went to find Jasper, Brian and Zhi Yong. The waiting time was very long, we took some photos and had our dinner. Soon we started moving in at around 7pm for first run. Quite messy. Had Ben & Jerry's while waiting for the second run. Everything ended at around 11.30pm, way after the scheduled 11pm. Reached back Anderson at 12.30am. Quickly settled the costumes and we left via the buses to our nearest MRT stations.

Saturday
A long tiring day at Chingay. Met the same group of people at 9am again. Trainers had to be there earlier so I only joined them to the McDonald and bought my breakfast before making my way down to the F1 Pit first. Today was the full dress rehearsal for us. Everyone had to wear the costume. It was quite messy as instructions were changed at the last minute and due to a light drizzle, things were even more messy. The day was ended with a KFC meal. Jessica fell sick and so she went off first while the remaining of us went to play pool until 10pm.
Tuesday
Another tiring Chingay practice. We had a combine rehearsal with other performers. Learn a few steps for the finale. Also, we had a few China kids who were going up the ladders to do stunts. Most of them were around the age of 10-12. Had a long briefing before we were released. Managed to catch the last train and bus home.
