Finally i m at home recuperating! Been out the whole of last week, with very few hrs of sleep. Last week i was packed with so much of things to do, maybe its cos of EID i guess!
Well i have been hitting the gym quite regularly. Trying to discipline myself by going gym once every two days. Hopefully it shows the results in a few weeks time. Gymming is a great way to vent out ur anger and frustrations out. It helps u work out better.
Past monday i met rama and dhivya, seperately of cos. Though i have already mentioned abt meeting with dhivya in one of my previous post, just wanted to state it out here as well. Was quite a day where nothing much was planned but i ended up meeting the two of them, one after another. You owe me a handphone cover btw! Dun u ever forget!
I really cant recall wat i did on tue or wed, but i can vaguely rememebr myself watching kickass with sachdev, anusha and suraen. That movie, i thought was a sppof movie. Bladie hell turn out to be some violent movie. I liked it cos it wasnt wat i expected haha... though i wun really give it that good a rating. But well, its alright laa. I aslo went down to apply for some part time job. Guess i got in already with a pay of 7dollars per hr. Since i was broke the past week, i was desperate to take up anything and get money out of it.
Thursday, was suppose to be a simple day, where i had to go sch in the afternoon and take care of putting up of our EID posters and print the brochures and other important documents. I only wanted alex and sachdev to come down thinking that there wun be anything much to do. But sathish told me he would jus come down since he had nothing to do. So i jus told him to come. When i reached the nanyang audi where our booth was suppose to be set up, i was in a state of shock. I saw every other god damn team setting up and decorating their booth. And we, didnt even think of anything of that sort. All we thought was to put up our posters hahaha. We didnt think for long, straight away i decided we should get all necessary materials from the shool bookshops to set up our booth in a simple but respectable manner. We spent quite a bit for the materials to decorate our booth. Thank god that sathish came. Guess it would have been difficult with jus me sach and alex. We managed to decorate our booth in a record time of 1hr, playing with a simple colour theme of orange black white and very minimal gray. That actually looked damn impressive since all the other groups were messed up with various colours. I never expected myself to stay till like 7. But since we only knew abt decorating the booth the day before, we had to sacrifice our time. Well it was a gd job for a last min work. Afterwhich, we were suppose to print the necessary documents and guess wat, the fucking sch library closed. So alex sach and sathish had to head down to a public library to get it printed. I had to leave to meet up with anitha as promised. I didnt wanna PANGSEH her HAHAHAHA despite the ongoing work. I cabbed down to meet her, the cab didnt help my already financially broke situation. It worsened it actually. That was a freaking 20dollars plus.
Met anitha after freaking long. We couldnt meet the last time round since anitha had some last min work that forced her to "pangseh" me haha. But well, finally we did. We ate at some italian restaurant. Anitha had to rush off within an hr or so, therefore we didnt spend that much of time. But i enjoyed the time there with her as we talked whatever we could. And she ended of the day with a surprise. I usually give surprises to ppl but this time i was the one on the recieving end haha. She gave me my belated birthday presents. I totally didnt thought that i would be receivng gifts from her but she did. I dun wanna reveal wat the gift was, but well, thank you ya!!! hahaha.
Friday was my EID openhouse. I only got home at ard 11 plus that day and slept early since i had to be up by 6.15am. Headed down to sch and handled the rest of the setting u of the booth. Me and joshua also decided to go on an agressive marketting by pasting our brochures throughout NANYANG AUDI,which none of the other grps thought of doing. Best part, we left our brochures at the VIP seating area haha. I have to admit here that i totally had no confidence of even winnning a thrid prize for our product. I was amazed by wat other grps invented and how they made it work. Was really impressive. There was even a pt of time where the grp beside us, who had a very impressive creation, mocked at our grps for two reasons. Firstly, my grp had 7indians and one chinese. So definately we were looked down for tt. Secondly, they tot our product was nothing compared to theirs. I didnt wanna rebutt since their product did stand out.
The judges went ard and started judging every single team. When they came to our, we tried to bullshit our way through and it seemed as if the judges were only ok with our product. They seemed to be more impressed with the team that mocked at us. so i tot, aaiya for sure laa how can my grp win. During lucnh i and alex actually joked that if we ever got first, we gonna laugh our ass out. We totally didnt have confidence.
The competition ended and it came down to the prize presenttion ceremony. Immediately when the 3rd prize was announced for our cat, i totally lost even the slightest expectation that i had to win a prize. That was because the 3rd went to the team that mocked at us, and i tot their prodcut was freaking awesome. The second went to the other team beside us, which we tot could not make it, but well, they surprised us by getting second. So we just stood there being a bit disappointed that both teams besides us won something and we were like "losers". But damn, that feeling didnt stay for long, the first prize was announced and it went like this, "First prize goes to, TEam 042, SK-I-Walker". YOu re damn right, that was my god damn team. The first prize was worth 1200 cash prize haha. We were very surprised and shocked that we surpassed the other teams to win the 1st prize. The team that mocked us was also shocked hahaha. Tts it since now we had the cash prize and the trophy, we jus showed off in front of that bladie team. Was really overjoyed. I was so broke and i had 150 dollars to take with me at the end of the day. Not bad at all. A VERY IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE ALWAYS LEARNT AND THIS INCIDENT PROVED IT, SO I AM PUTTING THIS IN CAPITAL LETTERS: YOU'D GET SOMETHING WHEN U DUN REALLY EXPECT IT. IF U EVER DO SOMETHING AND EXPECT SO MUCH FOR SOMETHING IN RETURN, YOU'D END UP LEAVING WITH NOTHING.
Though i had little sleep for that whole day, i continued the day going out with suresh suraen and sachdev, looking for street soccer shoes and then ending off the day with tf2 after so long. Sat watched district 13, a sequel to the french movie district 12, that i watched yrs ago. Was like a typical vijayakanth movie so i didnt really like it. Sunday, finally started our soccer, that died down for more than a yr. Was happy that ppl came down to play though some pangseh last min. Bt well, its back and its going now. After the soccer, i was really shagged but i still couldnt afford to even breathe as i was suppose to attned to wedding functions. The vnues didnt help that much too cos one was in the extreme eat, and the other was in the central. I had to be at both events since i was invited for both and my frens who invited me were those that gave me the importance and asked me to be present no matter wat. Somehow, i managed to get to the weddings on time with the aid of my dad and then vishnu. I was really gone b the end of the day but well bth the events were awesome i have to say. Guess i shall stop here since this post is getting way too long. That would have shown how packed my week was hahaha.
