Yesterday was Friday the 13th, but contrary to all the bad luck associated with the inauspicious day, the day went really great. The school day was pretty short, after school we had to stay back for the English paper review, that ended at about 2pm. Then I took the train to City Hall with Roshen and Nick, then changed to the other line and went to Novena. The whole point of going there was to submit my application for the Charity Bike n Blade to the elusive office of the organizing company, which is located in the office block of Novena Square. It took me a couple of wrong turns, several back tracks, and a few stops to ask for directions- all that even though I was walking, before I finally found the place.

Anyway, about the Charity Bike n Blade, my latest CAS project: I need to raise $2000 by the end of August for the beneficiaries: the Salvation Army, Pertapis Centre for Women and Girls, and Ling Kwang Youth Centre. As you have probably guessed, I have a mammoth task before me, so please please donate if I walk up to you with donation cards in hand.

Getting back to Friday the 13th, after collecting the donation cards, I went back to school to meet the Theater Arts people (T.Arts), Asyikin, Bobbie, Gua, Theo, Mary and Ivan, to go for the ACJC Drama Elective Program showcase. Wow, the ACJC drama guy were awesome; acting, dancing, singing to original pieces of work as well those that were created by themselves. After that, we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Holland Village with the remaining T.Arts (Asyikin and Ivan left). Dinner was a blast because of the food, but more so because of the company; the conversation went from the translation of dialect swear words to school rules, to south park, to the best play to eat Xiao Long Bao.

Now, earlier on during the week , I had a Chinese Tuition in which my teacher read an uber long article about Chinese tea to me. Inspired by what she had said about tea (no, seriously), I asked for Chinese tea at the restaurant as opposed to regular water I normally order. The tea was fine, and had unlimited refills, so by the end of the dinner, due to the nature of the food and general thirst, I had consumed about 4 glasses of tea. Which did not seem to be much a problem until I tried to sleep that night and realized that Chinese tea, like most kinds of tea, have caffeine in them!

So I finally managed to sleep later on, and got up later than planned on Saturday the 14th.
