zest: then like tt become i wait for u leh.
me: tt is li shuo dang ren de.
zest: girls...

the nite before, abt 12am:
me: r we meeting tmr?
zest: yes, me n u meeting.
me: i juz reach hm. so will prob oversleep. muz give morning call k.
zest: haha. i tink is i will oversleep. whoever wake up first call the other lor.



now wat happens when both oversleep?? panic breaks loose!!!
i woke up at 7.30 (note: we were supposed to be on bus 39 by 7am.) called him. toot toot toot. called 20 more times to the same annoying operator voice. disturbed carolyn n peter who too bombarded his hp wif calls he cld not hear coz he's still in dreamland. lol.

daddy dropped me off at lavender. n he called back while i was in the car. tts 8.20am. now comes the not fair bit, he cab frm tamp n the taxi fare to republic poly (in woodlands) was $13. mine was $17 frm lavender!!! i boarded the cab later n alighted earlier somemore. wth.

anyway, rp is v new. but did not a v school-ly atmosphere. its modern, chic n clean looking but it looks harsh n cold frm the outside. metal n glass make up the whole sch. even wat cld hv been grassy patches were juz stones n pebbles. the high ceilings cld hv been airy n welcoming but they only serve to add to the majestic-ness of the place n echo of the hallways.

there was pools of water. all still n icy-looking.. n bcoz of the lack of students on a sat morn, the place really looked intimidating. not at all how a sch shld feel like. i guess it muz be hard to feel attached to it.

the B.E.S.T briefing was to be held in one of the rms in the lib. the lib was amazing. it had much less bks then even the bizIT but its v nice. they even hv tis whole area for art-farty deco - there were colourful balls thrown all around. n there was ample studying space!! n the sofas were soft n comfy. but the air-con was one wrd - "brrrrrrrrrrrrr"... n coz rp students all carry laptops, the place is not littered wif desktop PCs giving it a v sleek look indeed.

went for the briefing. william, amir, guo wei, shahirah n i were grp 4. carolyn, zest, peter, liying n guiyi was grp 3. aft the talk, we had a game stimulation thingy. grp 3 got 1st in their round while shahirah, guo wei n i had roti prata. the aunty used to sell at fc 6. omg, why did she leave?!?! the prata was fluffy n nice. prob the only warm thing in the sch. oops. hehe.

by the time our turn came, there wasn't enough coms left so we spilt up. shahirah, guo wei n i joined tis 2 corporate ppl (terry n chiobu) in the stimulation exercise. we got 2nd. haha.. coz we were too conservative. shld hv tried to be more reckless. =P

anyway, the jest of the game was to price ur insurance poilicies n pay our agents attractive enough commissions to hv enough revenue to cover claims as well as other expenses over a period of 10yrs. its harder then it sounds. but is a whole load of fun. n the winner gets to take hm $2500 in cash. =D
