Highlights

30/1 Party at Marcus’ House
Thoroughly enjoyable, fun to be with friends once again. Marc Lim asked me how come I wasn’t bored and I replied,"My fun is in BEING with friends, not exactly participating in the same activities, or doing something out of my comfort zone just to include myself.
I was pretty tired from lack of sleep the previous night, so I fell alseep quite comfortably on the sofa stretched out. Matthew, Marcus’ brother, kept on staring at me, so I figured he thought I was weird. Once, I sensed his eyes drilling holes into me, so I looked back and said hello. That definitely classified me as weird.
The three Charlie’s Devils had lots of fun together (as usual), guest starring Matthew in our bitching sessions… So much fun!
I swear, end of year, it’s going to be at my place =P

31/1  Last-minute gallivanting
I received an sms from Edwin Low at 10.30am, inviting me to Orchard Cineleisure to hang out at 12.30pm. I saw it at 11.30am, when I woke up. Eventually, I got moving, at around 12.10pm, and reached there just in time.
We wasted the day away, and since half of our number (six) had to go early, Jeremy Wong, Eugene and I went to catch a movie, Cheaper by the Dozen 2.
Not before we went on a wild goose chase from Orchard to Novena (to Ian Low’s house, where Edwin had a checkup from a friend doctor) to Toa Payoh.
Interesting day, but I couldn’t finish my homework by that night, the last CNY public holiday… Thankfully, I didn’t get into trouble =P

1/2  TDP Chemistry Practical
Fractional distillation, known to all, practied by few.
Harder than it looks to set up, Mr Raymond Wong bought five types of beer for us to extract the ethanol out. The actual experiment took thrice as long as set-up, especially since set-up had to be perfectly done. We got Heineken, John Paul got Tiger, Leslie got Carlsberg, Marcus got Anchor, and Mr Wong took Asali home =P.
Once it was all done, though we were unsuccessful at separating any ethanol due to the faulty inconstant heat supply, permission was granted NOT to waste the beer =P Any guesses what that meant? I think it’s clear enough, as was the ethanol that I TRIED to sip, but failed miserably. It hardly got past my lip =P lolz
After that, there was a mass for all Catholic societies. We arrived pretty late, and since I was pretty high (Marcus pretty drunk), we didn’t go for communion, but hoped the rest of the boys had a meaningful mass.

3/2  Old SJI visit
That morning (and the previous one), I was called upon to pray for the health of our students and teachers, as well as for the good results of whatever tests. Being a good prayer leader, I endeavoured to say as best a prayer as possible.
After school, I was excused (for the fifth consecutive week) as a PSL to bring Sec 110 grp 1 around the old SJI (currently the National Art Museum). Had fun seeing all my Sec 1 friends again…
After that, the Charlie’s Devils met up at the cafe for a bitching/homework session (as we did the previous day in the annex), with Moses Yeo.

That’s pretty much this week in a flash… School is so much fun! (Workload’s getting heavier though =P)…

Stay healthy,
Stay smart,
Stay strong =),
Gab.
