Ah...SICK!

Today was very, VERY eventful. There was the '4E4 LAN Fest', tuition (as usual... - -;), tour around Serangoon Gardens Country Club, walk around Kovan Heartland Mall and the misadventures with Finster.

I started off the day by being awoken by a call from Finster, at around 7.44 a.m, asking what time we were suppose to meet for the '4E4 LAN Fest' (Thanks for waking me up Fin... -___-). Then, I took a bath and brushed my teeth and headed towards the bus stop. Missing the bus, I sat on the bench and waited for the next bus, not expecting the flood of SMS-es from Kenrick asking about where I was, where everyone else was and how much longer he had to wait at the Serangoon Interchange -.= (Its ok, Kenrick, I still love ya! :S)

I made a few calls and well, as usual, some people had overslept or had something important on at the last minute. From the 13 or 14 people that CONFIRMED about going, only 5, including me, made it for the 'LAN fest'. I can't describe how pissed off I am with them but trust me when I say...they are so screwed... (Nah, kidding! :P I'm a forgetful and forgiving person! xD Besides, I finally bought Panic At The Disco's 'Pretty. Odd'! I can't be bother with those fishes...:S)

Anyways, I left the LAN shop early at around 11 a.m and headed towards my tuition centre (I was gonna meet them after tuition to eat together...). On my walk there, I bumped into my uncle. Being the kind guy he is, he offered me a ride straight to the doorsteps of the tuition centre (Thanks, uncle Harrison! You rock! xD). I had Chemistry tuition then and well, tuition was...fine...except for my stomach growling and SOMEONE *AH HEM, AH HEM* BULLYING ME! (Take my jacket somemore hor? *sob*). Well, I left tuition early yet again (Sorry, Mrs Lim! :P) and headed to the LAN shop. When I reached it, only Kenrick, Fin and Ryan was left there, Alson and Shouheng had already left. We paid at the counter and headed towards the bus stop, thinking about places to eat. Suddenly, Kenrick and Ryan saw their buses and had second thoughts about eating. And so, they left (BASTARDS! -.-) and Fin and I decided to explore Serangoon Gardens. I brought Fin to Serangoon Gardens Country Club and gave him a tour of the place.

After the tour, I didn't feel like going home and well, it was pretty hot. So I suggested going to Kovan (notice my pronounciation of Kovan: COOOL-VAN :P), thinking it was cooler there. We dragged along Soshi for our expenditure at Heartland Mall and we explored the shelves of Music Junction. AND WHEE...!!! I BOUGHT PANIC AT THE DISCO's 'PRETTY. ODD'!! YES AH!!! After that, we followed Soshi to Popular to buy his assessment books (like he will try those assessments liddat...-,-).

We parted ways with Soshi at the MRT station later on (he had to go home by 4.30 p.m) and Fin, being the smart alec he is :X, decided we should search for the Salvation Army store. So we travelled the sacred lands of Singapore in search of the holy grail: The Salvation Army Store. While we were walking, I adruptly spotted a dead snake lying on the floor...

Me: ew...snake...
Fin: Where?
Me: You blind ah?!
Fin (on closer examination at the 'thing' on the floor): OHH, YUCK!
Me: Quick...RUN!
Fin: -No wait, TAKE PHOTO!
Me: Aiyah, shit you la, you ownself take!
Fin: Quick TAKE!
Me (after snapping the photo while keeping my distance...): QUICK LA! RUN LA! I SCARED ALREADY!

I swear...Fin is really blind. Well, actually, he was blind; his specs were spoilt. And well, I still have the picture of the dead snake on my mind...having goosebumps now, thinking about it. To make it worse, Fin had to talk more about it. I was already suffering from a fear of snakes after my horrifying snake eating experiences in China (No offence for anything...but I have to say, you CAN really find ANYTHING edible in China...even probably, ...Tigbit meat. ;P Nah, but seriously, I heard from my Primary school teacher that people in China eat Bear's Paw, Monkey's Brain and dog just because its suppose to make you 'smarter' or something...).

Fin (after a moment of silence...): Just imagine ah, the snake fall from a branch or something...
Me (shivering...): OK. Shut up. Seriously...
Me (a few seconds later...): Just imagine ah, the snake drop on you and you turn your head, seeing the snake's head...
Fin: ...Oii...you say don't talk about it and here you are talking about it...

The snake never left our conversation (even for a minute) after that...

We boarded 81 on Fin's command (I swear...I will never obey his commands or trust his sense of directions ever again...) and looked out for a bulding with the Salvation Army's crest on it.

After a few bus stops, we finally realised that we were not even close to finding it so we alighted and took the 81 from the opposite bus stop and headed to Serangoon Interchange (Home sweet home, finally...?)

We passed by the place where we spotted the snake and we just couldn't help looking at it :P To our delight :S , a boy was approaching the snake. We stared hard at the boy's face, waiting for his reaction at spotting the snake and when he was about a metre away from the snake, he finally noticed it and stopped in his tracks.

Me (after a few minutes of laughter with Fin): Retarded sia...he need to walk so close to the snake to finally realise it!
Fin: You got see or not? He drinking his bubble tea half-way, then, he see the snake and stopped drinking!

Man, are we mean... ;P Anyways, soon, we reached Serangoon Interchange and we parted ways. I headed back home while Fin headed...well, back home I suppose.

I thought that was the end of the Salvation Army incident but boy was I wrong. After dinner, on my father's car, we passed by a building and I spotted something distinctively familiar: a red crest with the words 'The Salvation Army' written on it. I opened my eyes wider in an attempt to check if I was seeing things again. But this thing, my eyesight didn't fail me as it usually did. What I saw was truly what I thought it was: The Salvation Army Family Store. And I got rather pissed off with Fin, the Salvation Army was IN A COMPLETELY OPPOSITE DIRECTION from the way we went. Screw you Fin! Seriously man... -.-

Well, and finally someone noticed the dark rims my eyes have. And unexpectingly, its Fin, without his glasses. And he had this to say:

Fin: Aaa~you look like a panda!
Me: Huh?
Fin: You got panda eyes!
Me: ...finally someone noticed!
Fin: ...
Me: But if I panda, Terrence is what sia?
Fin: Ok...you're 1/8 of a panda...
Me: ...

Below are photos I took :) :
