mid autum fest

well, had our pr presentation yesterday... we took quite a long time... had a sore throat and couldn't project my voice... and brendan, gong gong still asked me to speak louder when i was already stressing my throat... haha... kept clearing my throat in the middle of presentation... lucky for us, mrs singh, who was supposed to sit in for the presentation had to leave come our turn... we saw her grilling the other group and it was scary... so i guess we were lucky... we only presented to ms ang... haha... so informal... we kept smiling and all...

at the end of the presentation, ms ang only told us how to implement it and not really ask questions on our presentation... i think we'll make it to the final pitch to the JSSC board of directors... nervous and quite unwilling cos got so much more work to do... have to polish up the presentation... and have to present again... oh man... but it'd be good if we are able to get the cash prize... need the cash... hehe...

had my talk with mr yee already... am supposed to hand in my resignation letter to formally make my leave... talked for abt 45min, but not only on my leaving, but other issues as well... apparently, mr yee wasn't really happy with the trip to dow jones... luckily i didn't go... haha... oh wells... now the conditions are that either i leave tribune just like tht or i'll have to write 3 more stories to fulfil my quota for print... i hope i dun have to write anymore stories... but it's still up to mr yee and ms leng... hope they let me off the hook...

went to meet danny, zhao yan, charles, jonas, xie jun and reid after tht... went to bukit timah shopping centre cos reid wanted to play the guitars at the music store... after tht, we went over to the pet shop to look at puppies... so cute... then to al ameen for dinner... shared murtabak with danny... hehe... bought some sparklers and candles... oh, cos it's mid-autum festival yesterday... haha... like small kids yeah, playing with such things... haha... not a bad way to relive our childhood...

went over to charles place... borrowed love actually from him... just watched it today... quite nice... very sweet concept... danny and zhao yan fell asleep at charles, and xie jun, charles and i talked for a while... mostly about furniture and houses... i had no idea guys were also so interested in such things.... i used to think it was only a girls' thing... haha... well, it was an ikea catalogue that spurred the conversation... it happens tht xie jun and i actually have been eyeing the same bed... the silver aluminium loft bed... haiz... my dream bed... but doubt it can fit in my home... too tall... if i do get it, i'll prob have to crawl into bed and wake up banging my head every morning...

joy and jun hong came and we went down to a park near charles' place... we settled down and played with the sparklers and candles... the smoke made my throat feel worse... wah... couldn't stand it... but i like sparklers cos they're so pretty... we tried to throw a few into the trees, hanging them there... successful with a few... then found something else to play with...

joy and jun hong made a heart-shaped figure with candles... they lighted it together and we video-taped it... so sweet... made them kiss at the end of the video... haha... xie jun also made a heart-shaped sparkler... he lighted it with zhao yan... hehe... quite pretty also...

dan made me one with candles that said 'd love v' so sweet of him... hehe... we lighted it together too...

then i guess they got bored and started dripping wax over insects... those poor bugs... what a way to die... quite morbid actually, the way they were fighting to 'fosilise' them...

xie jun made his crush's name with wax... dan made mine and i made his too... haha... oh, nearly burnt dan's face with a sparkler cos he put me on his shoulders and i forgot i was holding it when i was getting down, nearly scrapping his face with it... opps... luckily nothing happened... sorry dear!

gonna have a looong weekend this week... no sch from tmr till tue! but got to go back on mon to hand in assignment and for napfa!!! arrhhh!!! haha... okies... tht's all for now... think i'll start working on my letter of resignation now... :) ... oh, currently still looking for a job... but i realise the country manna in sun plaza is hiring... wondering if i shld just go for it...

oh, scroll on down for photos from our celebrations at the mid-autum festival...
