Figured I'd get back to blogging. Yesterday I messed up bad. As one of the bus ICs, I directed the bus to the wrong place. Namely the carpark before the actual carpark. In my defence, my visibilty was limited on the bus, and I mixed up small cramped carparks full of cars. They both looked the same! And it was the first time I ever took that funny route to that camp. Oh well. They say the organiser was friggin' pissed , but I think it was okay in the end. =X

I wonder how Caucasians feel about us speaking like them. Somehow when speaking to them, our mish-mash English accent comes off sounding really weak and inferior to the Queen's English. Feeling embarrassed, and in an attempt to sound better, we try to speak better and sometimes end up seeming like we are trying to speak like them. (Though that may not be the original purpose.) Especially when it's overdone.

That comes out worse then if you speak normally. =X It's also like a parody or contorted version of English. Speak better, but don't overdo it. But it's really amazing how many people do it. We all try to sound more refined when speaking to them because with theirs in perspective, ours sounds sloppy. And when we improve ours it sounds...implacable. There's no distinguishable accent. Because we aren't English, or American. It's SeEnglish. Zhnged Singlish with a new haircut and better clothes. Just some random thoughts.

When weended our duties, we went Raffles City to eat. Stayed till 8, then went home, changed and went out to meet XW. Watched Ninja Assassin at PS. It was hahahaha. Cute.

Ninjas! Assassins! Ninja Assassins! Ninja Stealth(Totally awesome.)! Ninjas VS the Army! Ninjas VS Ninjas!(Whoa!) Ninja VS Ninja Grand Master! Ninja Shurikens! Ninja Teleportation! (Everything gets a +3 bonus to coolness when the word ninja is used. Ninja.)Ninja Force push! Ninja Wolverine-style regeneration! Ninja quickstep/Shunpo in Bleach/Faster than human movement. Bleach Bankai!(Ninja style. This means no epic dust storms, gale-force winds, flashes of power, over-the-top explosions, force blasts. It's stealth.) And non-Ninja people with hearts on their right side. Ninja. Cute. Ninjas need to watch Zombieland. Doubletap. Or, Doublestab. Left, and right.

Oh and before I forget. Ninjas fighting on a main road. Yeah it's at night but they're disrupting traffic! People see them! You don't SEE Ninjas! It's not Ninja. And Ninjas getting knocked down by cars. Not Ninja. -Shakes head- Ninja throwing stars all over a car. Ninjas aren't supposed to leave traces. And can't you guys hit a big moving target, like a car better? But the Ninja VS Army scene was cool. Haha. It's like some of the greatest elements in culture. Ninjas, Soliders, Pirates, Cowboys, Space, Zombies. Like...Ninja Pirates and Space Cowboys take on Zombie Soldiers. Or, Zombie Pirates and Cowboy Soldiers take on Space Ninjas. Mix n match. Haha!

Ahem. Right. After the movie we tok cab down to Zouk and headed to buy alcohol. I suppose it's good that we decided not to go after all. Why?

1, it's a Wednesday. This means half of everybody will be coming. The other half will probably go Butter.

2, all the JCs are having their Proms! Wow. All the overdressed and underpartied will be making their way down. Underpartied are those who decided to choose this for their virgin experience to club.

3, POP loh! All those new privates will be coming here to Water Parade and Knock It Down. Some probably until they fall out. Or rather, down. Hoho. Actually, I think no self-respecting guy with that kinda hair will want to go there. But then again, they probably have had their self-respect either surgically removed, or forcibly ripped out months ago.

So, we went for the chill plan, nad it actually was quite a decent one! We went to That Place to acquire our liquid entertainment, and headed to behind this hotel. Can't rmb the name. It's beside the river and is nice. We saw lots of prommy people and it was quite rowdy, so we went further down. Seems quite ok cos it's lighted (less ninjas) and near a restaurant with a few people. It's a nice windy spot with a bench (very good; +3 bonus to niceness) beside the river and under shelter! OH and the restaurant mention earlier is open late, and we can use their bathroom.

We spoke to ben over the phone and then we started drinking and playing poker. Haha. It was actually quie fun! Lucky she brought cards. =P We should do that again. Then XW got high and couldn't walk in a straight line. Lol. We wandered to the place where we saw the prommy people and a security guard shook our hands. Maybe it's an ages-old ancient technique passed down from the old guard to the new guard(pun fully intended) to test our drunkeness. Apparently we passed. Lol.

We walked further down and then found an open tent with soft chairs and a fan! It belonged to the restaurant We just went in and sat down. Haha. And got even higher. XW spilled nuts all over the floor lol. Then we decided to find toilet again and wander around trying the lighted doors. One hotel refused to let us use. I tried to use the Force to open a door but it failed. =( Then we found the original toilet. Then sent XW to WJ's place in a cab and then got home. With my prize! Half a bottle of vodka.

Woke up feeling a little quesy. Probably too much vodka and too little food. Drinking water didn't really help much, but some warm food kinda did. Lol. Did nothing much else but hunt mice. =( My dinner today got cancelled! Oh well. Looking for people to go out with.
